Sadly, the internet is one of the most vital parts of my life. The problem is it pretty much has an argument against using any of the other big mediums. If I don't feel like watching a television show at specifically 8 o'clock I can watch it on the internet the next day, and likewise with magazines and newspapers---if I don't want to subscribe to a certain magazine or cannot find a newspaper I know that it is also published on line. For some people, facebook and myspace are the most important things going on. Most big businesses know this and are going to take advantage of my generation's dependence on the world wide web.

In the last week I've managed to let 3 people completely take advantage of me. Julia basically kicked me out of my room tonight. I was doing homework, and after sighing like five times she rolls over and tells me that she won't be able to sleep unless I turn out my lamp. Number 1: my lamp is beyond dim (it's actually a paper lantern setup). Number 2: Everytime Julia keeps the main light on or MY t.v. on until 2 in the morning I always read a book and she always says "Hey if you need to keep the light on it's fine...I can sleep through anything." Apparently not a dim light, though. The second person to really take advantage of me was my bathroom-mate, Holly. Which really sucks considering I like her most of the time. Too bad I came back to my room (after going home this past weekend) to find my boxes of shoes in the middle of the room, my closet door open, and Holly wearing a pair of my shoes. What made it even worse was the fact that she was wearing them Sunday and today, and when I didn't have the balls to comment on it Turney had to...and THEN she told me that she wanted to buy them from me since they were in such bad condition. :( I got those shoes during New England Odyssey, so I have a lame attachment to them...now there's pretty much a huge hole on the side. Double :(. Oh, and the last person is technically a thing...a roach. It kept me from sleeping pretty much all night. Shitty. I guess I have a huge phobia of enormous bugs that can't hurt me or something. Oh well. On top of all that, I've decided to change my major. My applied design lab teacher has pretty much cut my self-esteem down to zero. It really sucks to find out your bad at pretty much everything. I guess that's what college is for, though...right? This sucks. It's 1 a.m. now. Goo-night.

P.S. Start watching Cartoon Network. They're showing the Goosebumps t.v. series. Tonight they showed the one where the mask wouldn't come off of the girls face until she learned a lame moral. It was pretty funny. Yay Halloween.

It's midnight, and I'm walking across campus in boxer shorts (mine thank you very much) and wrinkly t-shirt, a loaf of bread and my yellowish retainer. I looked a bit homeless, and the only thing that really saved me was my cell-phone (which I probably looked like I stole). To top it all off I looked like this when meeting two complete strangers...*horrified* I was was to embarrassed to talk. I feel like I'm in 7th grade again, or like I'm in that sex and the city episode where Miranda gets braces and is really awkward...Ugh.

So, it's been awhile, and surprise surprise the livejournal type box is a little different. How dare this website show progress in the last 7 or so months...updates are hard. I tried dieting this week, but those damn girl scout cookies are everywhere. Plus all food. I watched the Oscars the other night in full. That's what my nights have turned into Taco Bell, Turney's house, and pretty okay t.v. I can live with that. I'm a little in love with the cute Abagail girl from Little Miss Sunshine. I might adopt her when I hit 18 and 1/2. I really need a friggin' job. There are way too many cute things at my stores to neglect them now. I'm spoiled and tired of school, yet I'm putting off graduation stuff way to much. I bought a shirt the other day that made me look almost like I was a B cup. Actually, that's probably just the girl scout cookies. Pretty neat. I should do scholarships. I should clean my room. I should stop watching shallow E! fashion police, but whatever. Everything is goooda.

So, wow...summer is already half way over. Nobody better comment me back with the technicalities of how the first day of school actually makes summer's end farther off...I won't care and I will disregard that comment :) Anyway, a lot of good things have happened this summer. This is probably because I still haven't picked up my report card...oh well. Turney has to be the bravest guy I've ever met. No, he didn't rescue me from a lion or a burning house...instead he sat CALMLY in the passenger seat while I drove to Chattanooga for the first time. Ok, that may not be a big deal for some...but before you roll your eyes you should know, I'm the world's worst driver ever. I wish it were different, but alas no. I guess it didn't help that a friggin' hurricane plopped down on the highway while I was driving. It also didn't help that I had somewhere around a million panic attacks because of them, but somehow both of us made it to Chattanooga alive. I'm in awe. We had to have spent 3 hours in Best Buy. I fell into bitchy/ antsy mode :P It was stupid, but by the time we left, Best Buy had a claustrophobic affect on me. We took the wrong road on the way home. We were lost for like 10 minutes. Turney is a girl, so he refused to ask for help...lame. Aaaand that was Chattanooga in a nutshell. Lovely. erm...I think I might apply to Boston University...it could happen...maybe. Applying for college is going to be one huge headache. too bad. Well, I guess I'm off to sleep until it's too bright outside to see. Wish me luck :P

This feeling of boredom is an odd feeling, indeed. I'm really not sure what to do with myself. I can't believe NEO is over. But now that it is all over, I kind of miss it. weird? Yeah...A LOT of free time. I'd hang out with friends, but "I can't abandon the family every day this summer." Lame. Lame. Lame. Oh, exciting fact. My aunt called and was all "Yeah, we can definitely see Conan while we're in New York. Exciting, Right?" le sigh. I think I love her more than the leftover birthday cake with peanut butter and jelly on top...don't judge me :P Oh, and I'm feeling better. I was feeling sick for a bit, but now I'm all better. Despite all my complaints, this summer still= the most fun I've ever had...well, so far. Tomorrow will suck, but at least I only have to see Mrs. Michaels once this summer. ah well, I guess I should go back to figuring out the ads crap cough*orstartonit*cough.

It's 8:11, and after a lifetime of procrastination I have finally caught up. I'm not quite sure how to feel. There's definitely some tension...a bit of doubt, and a lot of relief, but it's cool. I'm feeling cool. Everything should be cool. Except for the fact that I totally just jinxed myself. Whatever...I think I'm gonna see what InDemand has to offer...

Oh wait! for everyone not going on NEO, call me! Just because I have to take notes, and have the option of failing open to me...it doesn't mean you can't call my cell. I promise, you won't get it taken up. :P
Ciao for now.

I'm kind of on the fence with "My Date With Drew" On the one hand, it was the creepiest/most stalkerish/most pathetic thing I've ever seen...but then, again...it was kind of adorable. I mean, this guy spends all of the money he won of a game show, just so he can meet the girl of his dreams, Drew Barrymore...come on...it's a little friggin' cute.
I did one lesson of precal so far...mentoring sucks. I feel bad about saying this, but I considered pulling out in front of a small VW Beetle just so I could cut Mentor Day short and still make it around town with the jeep in one piece. Oh, yeah, my sister randomly showed up and wanted to bond...it was quiet, awkward, and lame as usual. sad.

Why, oh why, did school have to pick up today instead of sometime next year? So, I wasn't prepared at all. I woke up at 7:00, and actually brought some Honeycombs back to the room until, blamo! I fall asleep against the bowl...so not only did I oversleep until 7:45, but I also wasted a perfectly amazing bowl of the grandest cereal in all the land...sad. I'm not going to talk about school. My five day weekend was pretty peachy. I hung out with the chums, and did all the thrilling things that chums do...go to Huntsville and play lacrosse. :) I visited UBC long enough to figure out that employees can now wear whatever color they please...that sucks. Oh! Except for the fact that they can't wear comfy blue jeans or bermuda shorts...beat that. But, then again I'm still broke, busted, and disgusted, so who's really winning here? But despite every completely fucked up, annoying, stressful thing going on right now...I'm actually happy. Huh, go figure.

P.S. if anyone happens to have a really great song suggestion for memory day...I would love you forever!

Today was ok...I broke the diet...avoided homework again...downloaded some tunes...watched Jesus die with puppets; basically the usual. This weekend is already going too fast. But, fortunately, this means summer/my birthday is also...any fun ideas? I kind of want to go on a road trip. Too bad I'm a horrid driver. News in Leah's life: Stress with a dash of giddy has an odd after taste. I think that's all I say. I mean, where else can I be this vague with no questions asked?...exactly. So, I'm watching VH1 right now, and this dating show is on. This girl is a filmmaker, and for the first five minutes that's all she would talk about...then she randomly talks about how important well endowed guys are. Then, she talks about how shy she is. Crazy. I feel like I'm forgetting something...whatever. Another post. Another time.
