I forgot to mention that Erin got her lip pierced yesterday and it looks really cute. I just wanted to share.
February 3rd, 2002, 4:12 p.m. - Read!
New stuff! I put up a page of FAQ, so go check it out. Because I'm cool. And you love me.

We now have a new drummer for our worship team, Jon, so Tim can play violin. He's really good and we're very happy to have him.
Current mood/state: eh
February 6th, 2002, 12:10 a.m. - Don't pay any attention to us
Irrefutable proof that my suite is certifiably insane (and, yes, that includes me): Rachel and I were just standing in the bathroom speaking Spanglish with valley girl accents. Yeah, we need a little help.
8:06 p.m. - Woo!
Mmm...George Clooney. Do I have to have a reason to want to say that?

Every Wednesday at 10 p.m. every hall at Eastern gathers for what we call Grow Group--it's basically a Bible study that can also be an accountability group or a therapy session. Each group is led by a Student Chaplain (ours is Leanne), but other students can lead if they want to. Kim led ours this week and spoke about God's plans for our lives. It's just amazing to think that we're all so young--no one on our hall is older than 21--and we have so much time ahead of us. It's just great to think that God is going to do something with each of our lives, and we may have no idea what that will be. Ten years from now we could all be doing something we never thought we would be doing, or we could be living in places we've never been to before, and we could have families and friends we've never thought about before. The thing is that God has a plan for every one of us, and we have to trust that everything will happen the way it's supposed to. Even if we do wind up doing things we never imagined doing, we have to remember that whatever it is, we're supposed to be doing it. There's a reason for everything.

It's Thursday! And you know what that means, right, kiddies? That's right: it's almost Friday!
In case anyone wants to buy me a present for no reason, just because you love me and you have $8 lying around not being spent, here's an idea.

I feel like I haven't done anything all weekend, even though I did schoolwork both yesterday and today. I guess I'm just weird.

Ina and Zimmerman were robbed, I tell you! ROBBED!!! Oh, and the luge? Not a sport. This is what Dawn and I have decided. There's no effort involved. You lie down and go down a big hill. It's glorified sledding. The gold medal should go to gravity.
Proof that Leanne is nuts: Okay, she's obsessed with this guy. Tonight she was asking Dawn if she saw him at dinner. I told her that I'd seen him at a worship team meeting and she said, "So he's been in his room for half an hour and hasn't called me." I asked if he was supposed to call her and she said no. Um...okay. So about half an hour later she came back in and said, "Did you talk to him?" I said yes, and she asked what we talked about. I told her that he'd asked if anyone was sitting next to me and I said no, so he sat next to me. Then later I asked if he was staying with his worship team next year; he said yes. Basically, that's it. I told her we hadn't talked about her, just in case that's what she wanted to know. Then I told her we'd made mad, passionate love in the back of the room. Leanne: "Next to the fire?" Me: "Yeah. It was the best love ever." Leanne: "Slut." Hehe. :)

Happy Mardi Gras! I have beads! And I didn't have to do the thing you're supposed to do to get them.
Ordinarily I would have had my feature article writing class today, but we're two weeks on, one week off, and this is the off week. We're supposed to be working on our articles but my rough draft is done, so basically I just get to sleep in and do nothing. Yay!

Phrases which, upon hearing them, would drive me to homicide:

February 13th, 2002, 4:00 p.m. - It's beginning to look a lot like Lent...
Happy Ash Wednesday! For anyone who's wondering, Lent is more of a Catholic thing so I don't really celebrate it, which means I'm not giving anything up for it. If I were, I can guarantee it WOULDN'T be chocolate, like Carissa and Kristen. That would just be bad. No one would want to hang out with me. Plus, I don't think I'd be able to last more than a day.
February 14th, 2002, 12:13 a.m. - I heart hearts
Happy Valentine's Day! Or something.
Think you might be addicted to AIM? Find out here. I'm only 24% addicted, thank you very much. :)

I'm slightly ticked right now because I've sent emails and email cards to some of my friends and have only heard back from ONE of them. Some of the emails were about something important and I really wanted a response, and yet here I am without any. I'm fairly annoyed....
Current mood/state: tired, ticked, and slightly worried

I saw Ghost World and Rat Race today. Ghost World was okay; I didn't like it as much as everyone else who's seen it did. I thought it was original and pretty funny, but I wasn't too impressed with Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. Oh, well. Rat Race was really funny, if you like that kind of mindless humor (which I was kind of in the mood for tonight). The set-up is a little shaky and everything about it seems pretty implausible, but if you're able to suspend disbelief enough, it's very good. The ending is especially surprising. All of the acting was great. I would have loved to have been allowed on that set with all of those hilarious people together in one place.

This is random, but have you ever noticed how freaky-looking Pez dispensers are? We have three in our room because people keep giving them to Erin, and I was just loading one and realizing how weird they look when you open them--they look like they have abnormally long necks. I just wanted to share that.

Dawn and Jen and I have been spending pretty much the whole evening together. We went to dinner together and watched 10 Things I Hate About You and Liar Liar together, and in about an hour we're going to see Spaceballs in the auditorium with Rachel. Jen and I found it aggravating to have the same name, so I said one of us needed to change her name, so Dawn started offering to be the one, and all three of us wound up doing it. Dawn is Hana, Jen is Caroline, and I'm Abby. Just so you know. :)
February 24th, 2002, 12:11 a.m. - More randomness
Erin and Caroline and I went to South Street in Philly tonight and hung out. We tried to shop a little but we didn't really see anything that interested us. I love the shops on South Street because everything in them is one of a kind. However, a lot of it is extremely expensive and I would be an idiot to spend money on them. Oh, well.

Keep your fingers crossed, because I may have a roommate for next year. Jina isn't living on campus next year, so Em and I might live together. She's still not sure yet; she might want to get a single (which is what I'll wind up doing if this doesn't work out). But I'm glad that I still have this option....
Current mood/state: uh...
February 27th, 2002, 11:23 p.m. - Grrr
Grrr. Em's getting a single. I WANT A FREAKING ROOMMATE!!!
