Wait, Livejournal is still relevant AND someone is trying to hack into mine? Oh, cool.
Also, FYI -- I'm still over at jaclynmarie.tumblr.com talking about random bullshit if anyone I still care about comes across this.
See yaaaa.

my iCal is looking pretty packed for december (let me have a big "what the fuck?!" at it virtually being december already). pretty psyched that the majority of what's going on are days off, christmas parties, free booze, dinners, and bonuses.
YESSSS DECEMBER!...i never knew you could be so good.

i am in desperate need of a haircut, being that my last cut was BEFORE i left for lollapalooza this summer. yikes.
i've been in touch with this dude about an apartment.
i want this to be my bedroom so bad.
also, it's been three weeks today that we lost brian. when i think about it, it still doesn't feel real. but for some reason, this horrible tragedy has really brought everything/everyone together. every friday night at the games, it's like a party for brian...all these kids that brian touched in some way: laughing, smiling, cheering his teammates on -- all with brian's name and number on their backs.
rest peacefully, big guy. hope you're still smiling big <3

...this is NOT a post about the election! though i do think the following link is one of the more intelligible and (in my eyes) rational postings. i'm excited at what could potentially be found in the horizon. done and done.

anyway, there's this one semi-new guy at work, and almost two months into his employment, i'm still unsure about how i feel about him. from about 9am-1pm most days, i want to shoot a cannon from my desk at his face for: a) being annoying, b) looking like an arrogant chump, c) talking to himself, and d) just being a plain old-fashioned douchebag. then around 2pm-5pm, he's usually an okay dude...we talk about music and all these people we both know (he's an even more okay dude when the music & people we know conversation overlap...and holy shit, we know some interesting people/things, which leads to some fun gossip). i'm thinking this afternoon likability factor is because of the lunch break and/or the coffee jitters peace out, but it's still inconclusive.
speaking of music, i missed out on seeing the decemberists tonight because i pretty much FORGOT (!!!!?!?!?!?!) up until about three hours ago that this show existed tonight. thanks ical...you really are on top of that.

i came home from the city yesterday morning to news of one of my brother's ice hockey teammates at monmouth university having hanged himself thursday. it's so numbing. the whole team is absolutely devastated. i just saw him a week ago at the last game...matt just saw him on wednesday for practice. he was one of the happiest/goofiest/life of the party-type people. i don't know how this could have happened, and i guess in most instances like this, you never really get that answered.
may angels lead you in, buddy.
sidebar: i had a great time at open bar/the photo finish showcase/after party thursday night. the recover "reunion" set was everything i expected and more. i spent some time with the best people, had too much to drink, yelled a lot, and got myself even more sick. i wish cmj was everyday.

it's only been 37 weeks. no biggie. i might update here again...? maybe. maybe not.
i've contracted some bizarre illness for the second time in two-ish weeks. yuck, my immune system knows just the perfect time to go on vacation.
but! i'm seeing the recover reunion show (and drinking some open bar) on thursday!!!!! it's absolutely ridiculous that they don't have a better spot during this showcase, but it's cool...kids just don't know how to appreciate good music anymore (truefacts).
also, i'm finding looking for a reasonably priced (but nice & roomy) place to live is one of the worst annoyances ever, especially when you want to live within walking distance of some sort of transportation to the city. november 1st is quickly approaching (which, by the way, is ABSURD), and i've got nothing of any merit to show other than some dead-end listings and some wasted hours near the hudson river. WHATEV! i will (hopefully!) be living with my old college roomie by year's end! no stressing here.

i'm not writing in this anymore. i'll probably be lurking around, though, so keep me added?...gotta keep up with what's going on in these parts.
anyway, i've moved over to tumblr (mainly because it's cute and new). http://jaclynmarie.tumblr.com/
catch ya'll on the flip side.
oh also, for all interested parties, i saw ryan giblin driving a zamboni on saturday night. it was...odd.

going to a party/seeing the cool kids at the museum of natural history tomorrow night(!!!!). i am geeking out so hard at the thought of drinking in a museum. here's to hoping nothing gets broken.
kevin played the JAMS last weekend. i'm tired of winter. spring is going to destroy me (in an awesome way). i'm counting down the days until all the planning for the wedding and related events end...just let me drink some open bar, FOR REAL.
basically, shit's good though.

i'm still alive.
i have health insurance again. and got a RIDICULOUS christmas bonus. i am so stoked on everything right now.
a lot of good has happened (in the work, family, friends, show, etc realm) the past few months. i am so happy and grateful that i got to experience all of it (one of the most recent being 'your favorite weapon' in its entirety!...sometimes, feeling like you're 18 again rules).
lots to look forward to in the coming months...good friends, good tunes, good fun, no drama.
i'm loving life.
and i'm still alive.
see you on the flip side.

kings of leon blew my face off. i've never been to a show where basically the whole place (aka radio city!) shit a collective brick when a band came on. it was amazing. and i still freak out thinking about how close we were.
the rest of september went as so: i hate upstate ny...you will not be seeing my face there again. work has been pretty decent. i don't miss school at all. the T is for chumps who have never been on real public transportation, but the dudes in boston are on par. cambridge is so cute and fire & ice was AMAZING.
cmj week is almost here. i've got a couple days off so i'll be up in nyc actin' a fool and/or getting alcohol poisoning. get into it!

-allison got us ROW 17(!!!) orchestra seats for the kings of leon show at radio city.
-brand new had to rope me back into going to WAY too many shows again by stepping it up and adding thrice and mewithoutYou, therefore making this tour EPIC. get your compasses out.
-a shelving unit full of binders fell on me at work.
-had an amazing italian lunch at a cute place in union city and saw hairspray on broadway (WITH lance bass HAHA!).
-got drunk; ate a whole bar pizza; saw kevin play on a boat cruising around the new york harbor; had some good hangs/laughs; met up with raul & party balloonz; went to some shady bars; drank a ton of cider and got drunk again and ate more pizza.
-colour revolt played my JAMS at knitting factory. damnnnn. got overly obnoxious, sweaty, and buzzed. saw as much of manchester orchestra that i could fit in before booking it back to njtransit.
-almost fell alseep at work and got a nice surprise of being paid for the two days i took off during the week.
i like where i'm at right now.

silverchair was RIDICULOUS. probably one of the best bands i've ever seen live. and daniel johns is still bangin. the dude at roseland makes stronger drinks than i do. was in a cab with a driver who pulls over to yell at other cab drivers. had some amazing pizza that tasted like chicken nuggets. angels & kings was pretty lame, but we sat next to daryl palumbo for like 20 minutes as we internally freaked out. no biggie. bunches of other random people showed up and it was weird. todd weinstock, you can wear anything...but i'm still in it. dumb drama got us so annoyed we didn't want to drink anymore. LAME. survivorman and sleep on allison's new couch. heyyyy.
i forgot how much i love express trains. but i don't love when the air conditioning is broken on the subway car.
jesse/kevin show at hoboken was pretty good. too much hype the last few months on the internets, etc got my expectations up entirely way too high and it just, unfortunately, couldn't jump that bar i set obnoxiously high. i enjoyed it though. kevin pretty much owned it. the monsoon beforehand blew. good hangs with allison, carla, and the chicken nachos.
back to work. making some money. being super tired. trying on some more dresses. hopefully doing some hanging.

- school: my advisor is an incompetent idiot who doesn't know how to relay important information until it's WAY too late for a plan b (or plan c). which means i'm peacing out of stockton and their disorganized program and potentially enrolling in monmouth for free next spring/fall to complete a masters.
- work: everything work related has been going pretty great. due to the lame school situation, i'm probably going to end up staying longer than i originally anticipated. which, hopefully, will come along with a raise, possibly a promotion, and some health insurance for when mine fucks me over in jan '08.
- macbook: i just spent the most money i've ever spent, at one time, on myself. it's taking me some time to get used to a mac vs a pc, but i love it. and by the way, formatting my ipod is one of the scariest things i've ever done.
-friends: i haven't seen my best friend since early may. i haven't seen much of anyone else in well over a month (or more). it's so hard being busy (and when i'm not busy, i'm tired or sick), but i'm still feeling good about everything in the most general sense. probably since i finally have my priorities straight and am (almost) acting my age now.
- wedding: helped amanda try on wedding dresses and then modeled some bridesmaids dresses. i'm really excited for everything and having her back in my life. this is probably one of the ony cases i've been able to forgive AND forget.
basically the most important things that have happened: seeing silverchair on friday!!; a snake somehow got into my room and i freaked the fuck out when i almost picked it up thinking it was a plastic, joke snake; AND i'm seeing kd play some jams ON A BOAT, while i try not to fall overboard with a drink in hand. HEYYYY.

i'm seeing modest mouse!!!! and i start work next week! i'm psyched for both.
for now, i'll just continue doing what i do best -- hating on my allergies and watching "deadliest catch" and "dirty jobs" (and whatever else the discovery channel can throw at me) all day long.

[09 Jun 2007|05:45pm] |
yesterday, i got to: hang with some of the best people ever; see kings of leon play (for free!) at the apple store in soho; eat some super amazing pad thai; get sloppy in brooklyn in our vip section (velvet rope and all!) of supreme trading and dance ALL night long; AND stay at the ridiculously swanky waldorf astoria hotel.
i really don't think i could have had a better day. i love my friends and i love life (other than my sad excuse for a bank account) right now.
in sort of related news (the relation only being the same people were present at both occasions), kevin's show at maxwell's on wednesday was pretty solid. it was too stuffy inside, but the food and hangs (and obviously kevin) made it worthwhile. i'm glad i decided to make the trek up to hoboken during rush hour.

lots of brand new, lots of good company, lots of inappropriate conversations, lots of food, and lots of (attempted) drankinnn over the past week.
birthday and cupcakes in hartford. untitled 5!! i love long island and the lirrrrrrrrr. serious eats and lots of STARCH. omg cheese skillet..I SCRAPE IT OUT, I SCRAPE IT OUT. "hayyy guys, want some frosting???". cotton candy spoot. new dresses and old lady shoes. no makeup 2k7. asian pub and woo wooooos. drunk traditions. prank calling dws was definitely a horrible idea. gimme some potions, enchantments. the big orange tourbus following us everywhere. 8 straight hours of csi. watching "the omen" while getting ac recaps is intense. shake shack! jewel - "pieces of me". the lacey's ruining my life. DROPPIN' IT. garrett's balls ughhhh. i'm scarred.
my allergies are super bad, i spent way too much money while "living" at allison's apartment/nyc, and i'm tired for no reason. but whatever.
i get to see my insanely busy best friend for hibachi next week and start working in two and a half weeks. i'm psyched for both.

i wish i knew why people almost get restraining orders, but decide to get engaged instead...? i laughed til i cried. then laughed some more.
i turn twenty-three in a week and i feel so old. all my old dumb friends/"friends" are getting engaged and buying houses and paying mortgages, while i'm still living the dream and spending all my money on clothes and some silly band. i really don't know which is worse at this point, so i'll just keep on doing my thanggg until i can figure out otherwise.
i haven't even started my job yet and am already plotting what i want to buy. oh hellooooo shiny new macbook.

highlights of saturday: limbeck, manchester orchestra, muse (these dudes know how to put on an INCREDIBLE show), seeing todd weinstock everywhere, bitches wasting $20 on "weaves", and almost witnessing a bro fight in giants stadium over football rivalries.
highlights of saturday night: stealing stuff out of people's bathtubs, raising the crazy flag multiple times, and dom's random striptease(?) at "FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING".
highlights of sunday: brand new and fingerpoints and trying to climb the people in front of me during "seventy times seven" and peacing out way early to take a nap at home.
i saw a ton of other bands, but personally, i thought their sets weren't up to par with what i'm used to. possibly since i was getting sunburned and buying overpriced water/food for 10 hours, but probably not.
i finished up this semester with a 3.67 gpa. somehow i managed to pull A's on almost all my papers and exams that i put zero effort into. hopefully i have a job at the office this summer, starting soon. sometimes you gotta put up with a 9-5 when you're this broke and still buying more tickets to see brand new. intervention time.
