nope.

day two hundred and sixty eight

2006-04-28T23:59:00.000-04:00

this is me and ryan. a couple weeks ago, his neighbor introduced me to some people as "this is phoebe. she's not dating my neighbor." seems that everyone around us is pretty interested in our relationship. here's what i have to say about that:
"ok, yes. i DO realize that what we are doing essentially fits the whole textbook definition of 'dating'. yes, i know we do a lot of things that are essentially 'couple' activities. yes, i am aware that we are pretty much 'in a relationship' with each other. but screw you. that doesn't mean i have to actually ADMIT it. if i admit it, then it's for real, and if it's for real then i'm gonna get nervous. because i really am pretty crazy about him. and i don't wanna be nervous. so shut up and stop asking me these questions."

day two hundred and forty nine through day two hundred and sixty seven

2006-04-27T23:59:00.000-04:00

days two hundred and forty four through two hundred and forty six

2006-04-06T23:59:00.000-04:00

i was lazy.

2006-04-03T14:23:00.000-04:00

day two hundred and forty two

2006-04-02T23:59:00.000-04:00

not much to say. long day but i feel like i did nothing. and i can't sleep. stupid coffee.

day two hundred and forty one

2006-04-01T23:59:00.000-05:00

tonight i drove down to columbus with ryan to see Elephant Bones play. it was their second show,and maybe i'm biased, but i thought it was great. but then, i'm completely crazy about their songs. not to mention their drummer. wah wah.
it was really fun, though. and i'm trying to pretend i'm not completely terrified by how much i like him.

day two hundred and forty

2006-03-31T23:59:00.000-05:00

i got nothin. i kept thinking of taking pictures at doug's show, but i kept forgetting.

day two hundred and thirty nine

2006-03-30T18:32:00.000-05:00

i got like three hours of sleep last night. i'm beat.

day two hundred and thirty eight

2006-03-29T23:59:00.000-05:00

after work today, i went straight to ryan's house to hang out. the elephant bones boys were there, and they were mastering the new version of "fuzz" (also known as the song that's ALREADY been stuck in my head for weeks). once they split, it was time for cookout of the week number two. ryan, again, made us some AMAZING burgers on the grill. i'm not sure what all he puts in them, but god damn! best burgers ever! he had to go fix doug's car, and before he split we decided to meet up again later. we also got into a fake arguement about how ryan's drawing, pictured here, "ballorse on cans" is a fine fine piece of artwork, and that i could never draw anything that could compare. so, on that note (was that a challenge, mr. foltz?), i went straight home and started working on my OWN 'balloon/emaciated horse (CLEARLY in motion)/sneaker/beer can/christmas tree/calculater/blue backgroud/most-ridiculous-inside-joke-ever' drawing. one that'd kick ryan's drawing's ass. and OBVIOUSLY - it does, though once i went back over there a few hours later to hang out again, he insisted that his was still better than mine. that boy is crazy. and i absolutely adore him.

day two hundred and thirty seven

2006-03-28T23:59:00.000-05:00

no picture today. tuesday dinner and exhaustion put my ass to bed early.

day two hundred and thirty six

2006-03-27T23:59:00.000-05:00

another beautiful day. and the day of the late night cookout. and the night that i, as ryan put it, drank 6 beers in 10 minutes. oops!

day two hundred and thirty five

2006-03-26T23:59:00.000-05:00

today was fucking awesome. woke up snuggled up to ryan. drank coffee. went to breakfast. and te weather was so nice - it was really the first really nice day we have had this year. and how did i spend it? helping ryan dismantle his parts dart out behind his garage. i was dirty and grimey and i had the best fucking time! i am forever amazed at his knowledge of car stuff. but today i was even more amazed at my ability to just jump in and help him out. perfect day. completey perfect.

i took no photos, though, but here's one i took recently of one of his toolboxes - seemed appropriate.

day two hundred and thirty four

2006-03-25T23:59:00.000-05:00

ok. that's not me. but it's one of two pictures i took all day. ryan. playing the erhu at aubrey's birthday party. i'd use the other picture i took today - but it was of ryan. playing the erhu. at aubrey's birthday party.

day two hundred and thirty three

2006-03-24T23:59:00.000-05:00

another "fell asleep early" night. i'm getting so boring!

day two hundred and thirty two

2006-03-23T23:59:00.000-05:00

i have no idea why i look so sinister here. i am updating a week late, and i have no idea or recollection as to what i was up to this night. i fell asleep when i got home from work and slept until the next morning, so who knows what that grin is about.

day two hundred and thirty one

2006-03-22T23:59:00.000-05:00

when i get my hands on a copy of the cd tray art for the elephant bones cd, that will be this day's pic of the day. because that's how i spent my night - over at ryan's, helping him lay out a collage of images for the tray art for their cd.

day two hundred and thirty

2006-03-21T23:59:00.000-05:00

this is the most boring of all the pictures i took tonight - the best ones being the 100+ promo pictures i took of the elephant bones guys over at ryan's tonight. flippin' awesome. and too funny. i had such a good time.

day two hundred and twenty nine

2006-03-20T23:59:00.000-05:00

i didn't take a picture of me today - i didn't have my camera on me. but this is the dress i bought today to wear to cindy's wedding next month. i'm going to look like a cupcake.

day two hundred and twenty eight

2006-03-19T22:53:00.000-05:00

i didn't even get out of my pajamas today. hell, i really only even left my room to pee and get a sandwich. i needed a nice recovery day. i don't want to go to work tomorrow.

day two hundred and twenty seven

2006-03-18T23:59:00.000-05:00

got up after noon. went to rescue ashlee. ate some pizza and then off to the treehouse for show #6 of 6. i am the boys from the county hell super-fan this weekend. pretty sure i'm the only person who watched ALL SIX shows. i really had a great time. after the treehouse show ashlee and i had some dinner, and then i ran into ryan on my way home and ended up boing up to the blarney stone for a couple more beers. i really like spending time with him.

day two hundred and twenty six

2006-03-17T23:59:00.000-05:00

happy st. patrick's day!
what a long day. woke up at ryan's at 5am. was at becky's downtown by 6am with ashlee, drinking coffee, eating eggs, and listening to the boys from the county hell til about 8am. then off to the house of blues for boys' show number two from 9am to noon. spent the next couple hours hanging out in the back room of flannery's til show number three from 3pm to 6pm. completely exhausted, i nipped home to take what ended up being a sad little 20 minute nap, and then headed BACK out to the harp for show number four from 8 to 11ish. i was so exhausted by the end of the show, that i went home and crashed. for EVER!

day two hundred and twenty five

2006-03-16T23:59:00.000-05:00

tonight was the first of 6 boys from the county hell shows that i'm attending this weekend. it was a nice surprise to run into little jen there. i had a great time at the show, and an even nicer time being spooned for a couple hours across town after the show.

day two hundred and twenty four

2006-03-15T03:00:00.000-05:00

i forgot to take a picture of me today. but i took this picture around 3am today at ryan's house. it was such a fun night. an unexpected invite over late at night to hang out with him and eric and work on the elephant bones artwork. i had a blast.

day two hundred and twenty three

2006-03-14T22:11:00.000-05:00

i am soooo full. thank you lacey's parents!

day two hundred and twenty two

2006-03-13T23:59:00.000-05:00

good day. pizza with ryan and falling asleep early and full.

day two hundred and twenty one

2006-03-12T20:57:00.000-05:00

i like waking up at ryan's. even though i'm usually smooshed between him on one side and a pile of zeke & sheena on the other side. ryan has good coffee. as we sat in the kitchen drinking lots of it, we told each other stories about our grandparents until finally, after nearly two straight days there, i gathered up my stinky self and headed home. i got to see the sickly miss lacey for about 20 minutes before she left to go watch some nascar thing with bill. spent the rest of the evening working on the elephant bones stuff and doing laundry. ryan liked the drawing i did, but wants part of it changed, so after switching another load of stinky clothes, i'm back to the drawing board. i killed all my pencils this afternoon, so i'm totally stealing lacey's eyelines perncil sharpener so i can draw some more. :)

day two hundred and twenty

2006-03-11T23:59:00.000-05:00

after yet another saturday morning work disaster i went back to ryan's to get some rest. not that that happened since the damn phone was ringing all day! but once we finally gave up and rolled out of bed, it was a great day. got up and had coffee and donuts. hung out while ryan fixed the tire on his van, and then waited around for his parents to come and drop off the '55 packard they just bought. hot damn that car is fucking... LONG! and gorgeous. one of these days i will learn enough to be comfortable getting an old car myself. but anyhow. we went up to george's with ryan's parents for dinner. they were on their way to some show at the h.o.b. of some band from newfoundland, and i had a long chat with his mom about my own parents' trip there this past summer. i swear, ryan's mom and my mom should hang out. she was adorable and reminded me of my little mum so much i started to miss her. after a quick run north so ryan could get doug's car running, we went back to the house and i promptly fell asleep (but remembered to snap this picture before passing out). i slept through like a 4 hour recording session and then woke up and started working on some drawings for elephant bones' website. we grabbed some taco bell and fell asleep watching tv. it was a perfect saturday. (aside from the work biz.)

day two hundred and nineteen

2006-03-10T23:59:00.000-05:00

me and my best buddy steve at the boys from the boys from the county hell show at the old angle, home of the eight dollar grilled cheese. pshh! i had a fun night. it's always good when steve's around. and ashlee and shannon were there as well. good time all around. sent my first drunk-y text message to michelle. i wish i didn't have to work so early tomorrow.

day two hundred and eighteen

2006-03-09T22:08:00.000-05:00

my dad is cancer free!

day two hundred and seventeen

2006-03-08T23:59:00.000-05:00

left work early today, exhausted. finally got my test results back and i am apparantly healthy, just tired. and a drunk. brady bought me a steak. and i spent the rest of the evening watching 'project runway' at ashlee's. while drinking.

happy birthday dad!

day two hundred and sixteen

2006-03-07T23:59:00.000-05:00

dinner with ryan at george's was cheap and excellent, as always, and then hangin' at brady's for the standard tuesday night get together was a blast. here's me and alicia - exhausted but still grinning!

day two hundred and fifteen

2006-03-06T23:59:00.000-05:00

i forgot to take a picture today, so i'm using an oldie. me & ryan at the grog shop. i figure since we were there together again today, it's a good substitute. we went to see the damnwells. they were fucking great!

day two hundred and fourteen

2006-03-05T16:17:00.000-05:00

woke up still smiling and still in my clothes from last night. whoops.

my apologies to lacey and bill for barging in on them last night drunkenly giggling.

i guess lacey wasn't mad, since she just took me to the melting pot for lunch. i am so round right now, i have to go lay down and digest for a few hours.

i love feeling this good.

day two hundred and thirteen

2006-03-04T23:59:00.000-05:00

perfect day. woke up somewhere good. had awesome breakfast at george's. drove home smiling, my window down (even though it was 29 degrees), soaking up the sunshine, blasting music and singing and enjoying it so much that i took the longest possible route home just to keep doin' it.
evening led to dinner with brady - the world's biggest sandwiches - holy crap! and then up to see the boys from the county hell at some shitty bar in fairview. kyle and kris came out and it was really great to see them together and happy. good to see them in general. i just love that kris. such a sweetheart. (i told kyle if he fucks this one up i'm kicking his ass!) ashlee and yvonne showed up right as the show was drawing to it's close. but it was still good to see them for a few.
i just had such a great day, but then - any day that starts AND ends with a kiss that makes my knees girlie-weak - that's a good day.

day two hundred and twelve

2006-03-03T23:59:00.000-05:00

the most boring day at work ever. followed by dinner with marie at tay-do. followed by stupidity and needing, once again, to be rescued. which was nice, as it turns out.

day two hundred and eleven

2006-03-02T23:59:00.000-05:00

i don't even remember what i did today.

day two hundred and ten

2006-03-01T23:59:00.000-05:00

still slacking on the pictures.

went to see ryan's (lack of) hair. he's still adorable. had dinner then came home and crashed.

day two hundred and nine

2006-02-28T23:59:00.000-05:00

mardi gras...

and i got sent home from work today and to the doctor. got a gallon of blood taken to test me for whatever the hell might be making me so sleepy lately.

went to see the boys from the county hell at the harp with ashlee. had a really nice time. nice chat with shannon. nice night altogether. (aside from when ryan told me he's cutting off all his beautiful hair tomorrow. boo.)

day two hundred and eight

2006-02-27T23:59:00.000-05:00

after getting 2 hours of sleep last night and driving in to work in the snow, i cam e home and went straight to bed. no picture today.

day two hundred and seven

2006-02-26T23:59:00.000-05:00

i was doing so well for a minute there. now i've gotten all behind again. terrible...

i was busy all day today and, in my defense, toward the end of the night (when i usually take my picture) i was somewhere i'd much rather have been than sitting in my room taking a stupid picture. :)

day two hundred and six

2006-02-25T23:59:00.000-05:00

somewhat unlike me, i did not take too many pictures at ben's going away party. and more than halfway through the night, realized i had not done my picture of the day pic. so here is me, waiting to get in the bathroom at sugar's. i wish i could say differently, but i just haven't been up for a party recently.
but it is always nice to see our favorite guest-star rocko. and ben (and spink [HI SPINK!]) in leiderhosen was truly a sight to behold.

day two hundred and five

2006-02-24T23:59:00.000-05:00

went out to the garage with ashlee tonight. and i came the closest i've ever come to being in a fight! i DID actually push this little bastard guy so hard that if he hadn't fallen into some other dude, he'd have hit the floor, but i didn't get the chance to actually clock him in the face, which is what i really WANTED to do. good lord.

day two hundred and four

2006-02-23T23:38:00.000-05:00

another good day. well, it was a crap day to start, but ended on a good note. i am happy. stuff is... good.

ps - happy birthday, mum!!! i love you.

day two hundred and three

2006-02-22T18:16:00.000-05:00

still smiling.

day two hundred and two

2006-02-21T18:45:00.000-05:00

this smile was pretty much all anyone saw of me today, so that's all i'm posting. i was in a GREAT mood all day today. i guess that happens when you like someone. i'd kinda forgotten.

off to dinner at brady's now. looking forward to seeing everyone again.

day two hundred and one

2006-02-20T15:14:00.000-05:00

first and foremost - happy 30th birthday to my beloved bestest buddy in ohio - steve!

and then... i got out of work crazy early today, invoking my "i worked 7 hours for free on saturday and i'm going home now because i'm done with all my work for today at 9:30am" defense. i was home by 10 and wondering to myself, "what do people do??" so i took a shower and asked ryan to go to lunch with me at tay-do. it was delicious. completely. :)

now i need to figure out how to spoil steve for his birthday later tonight.

could the day even GET any better?

day two hundred

2006-02-19T22:15:00.000-05:00

i was so exhausted today, i seriously slept til nearly 5pm. ended up having dinner with ashlee and heading out to a bar. where i started to feel SIIIICK. i had to cancel plans with christopher (again) to come home and hope that i don't vomit, as that's all i feel like doing. now that i'm home, i'm still queasy and i think i may just go to sleep. i've been up for about 5 hours. it's probably bedtime.

day one hundred and ninety nine

2006-02-18T21:55:00.000-05:00

work was a disaster this morning. i was exhausted, but headed out to see amps II eleven at the beachland. by the time i got home from ryan's after, i'd been awake for 24 hours, had eaten nothing all day, and had had 8 drinks. what a flippin' day.

day one hundred and ninety eight

2006-02-17T19:16:00.000-05:00

waiting to find out if i can be "finagled" into a private show at the house of blues. sportin' the armani, just in case.

day one hundred and ninety seven

2006-02-16T21:14:00.000-05:00

work was so boring today. for me. (lacey was insanely busy.) i left early and brought ryan his one day check. got steak n shake for dinner. and have been sitting here all night being lazy. i may watch a movie. i may meet ashlee at a bar. i may just fall asleep. we shall see.

day one hundred and ninety six

2006-02-15T22:53:00.000-05:00

boring day. didn't do much at work or at home. i've been so tired lately. and also really happy. things just seem, generally speaking anyhow, really... really ok. i'm happy. it's confusing, but it's there. and i like it.

day one hundred and ninety five

2006-02-14T21:10:00.000-05:00

woke up to a call from ryan, who'd run out of gas on his way to day two at shamrock. went to rescue him (seeing as how he's rescued my ass a hundred thousand times, i couldn't really say no - not that i would have). he decided that running out of gas was a sign of some sort, took me to breakfast, and then departed in search of other work. so i guess i don't have to worry about the strangeness of seeing him "out of context" anymore.

for valentine's day, i took myself to get my tattoo cover up worked on. sean got the roses and clouds done. and just because he's an ass - he colored in the as-yet-not-colored-in bat's nose pink. which looks ridiculous. thanks sean.

day one hundred and ninety four

2006-02-13T23:59:00.000-05:00

ryan started work at shamrock today. it's weird seeing someone, like, out of context. was much more comfortable when he and i went to the movies later in the evening to see "the world's fastest indian" at the cedar lee. i was in an uncommonly good mood all day today. and i liked it.

day one hundred and ninety three

2006-02-12T23:59:00.000-05:00

i'm pretty sure i did absolutely nothing today.

day one hundred and ninety two

2006-02-11T23:59:00.000-05:00

dinner with ryan. i love potato soup.

day one hundred and ninety one

2006-02-10T19:00:00.000-05:00

lacey left for canada after work. i fell asleep at 7pm.

day one hundred and ninety

2006-02-09T23:59:00.000-05:00

terrible mood. cancelled plans with christopher. fell asleep way early but then somehow ended up at ryan's watching tv and messing with my new accordian. and i got another postcard from joe.

day one hundred and eighty nine

2006-02-08T23:59:00.000-05:00

went to the shops with marie after work. and that's about it.

day one hundred and eighty eight

2006-02-07T23:59:00.000-05:00

lacey's birthday. nothing much happened. boo.

day one hundred and eighty seven

only good thing about today: postcard from france. thank you, joe.

day one hundred and eighty six

2006-02-05T01:33:00.000-05:00

pajama party continued well into the next morning, after which i got up, had brunch with my dad, watched the superbowl with renae, brady, nik and ryan, and then proceeded to get entirely drunk with ryan watching a movie at my place and then staggering up the street to the corner bar til closing time.

day one hundred and eighty five

2006-02-04T21:13:00.000-05:00

lacey's birthday party / pajama jam. yes, i do have curlers in my hair.

day one hundred and eighty two

2006-02-01T23:59:00.000-05:00

today i was busy helping ryan move a piano. i did not take a picture. my hands were full.

day one hundred and eighty one

2006-01-31T23:59:00.000-05:00

internet at home was down today. no picture. (and it seems that one day of no picture leads, more often than not, to several days of no picture. i've really gotten bad at this.)

day one hundred and eighty

2006-01-30T23:33:00.000-05:00

oh wait. that's not me? ok fine. i'm cheating, but hell - at least i'm posting a picture today. that's sheena. helping ryan do some mixing. i'm the one on the other side of the camera that's being no help at all.

day one hundred seventy nine

2006-01-29T23:40:00.000-05:00

day one hundred and seventy one

2006-01-21T23:59:00.000-05:00

carol's super vixen birthday party was awesome. that's all i can say.

day one hundred and seventy

2006-01-20T23:59:00.000-05:00

day one hundred and sixty one

2006-01-11T23:59:00.000-05:00

another picture-less day. i went to the cemetery after work. not in a picture mood.

day one hundred and sixty

2006-01-10T23:59:00.000-05:00

this is where it started going downhill. lacey hurt her back and i was busy and alone at work and just somehow got out of the habit...

it's also the anniversary of my grandfather's death. maybe i'm just sad.

day one hundred and fifty nine

2006-01-09T20:57:00.000-05:00

after work today i went running around cleveland & lakewood in search of decent postcards/ cards to send to my buddy in france. the i met up with switchblade for dinner (at the tick tock tavern, which was a total hole and a ridiculous dining experience, but was surprisingly delicious once the food actually came). i always want to give lacey time alone at the house with "willy" on their mondays. on my way home, i stopped by the drug mart (which i maintain is the strangest place on earth), and found for the bargain clearance price of 99 cents, a duncan spin top. having seen steve whip these things around, i assumed it would be at least as easy as making a yo-yo come back up, getting this little little bastard to, as it's name would imply, SPIN. instead i shot it all over my room, practically breaking snowglobes, cups, and who knows what else. and it never really spun. but lacey did get a good picture of me laughing about it. stupid spin top.

day one hundred and fifty eight

2006-01-08T21:43:00.000-05:00

i slept until after TWO P.M. today!!! it was amazing. that never happens.
got up and helped lacey tidy up the joint a bit then watched some movies. all the while in my bathrobe and slippers. never even bothered to get dressed, let alone even put on pants.
i did paint my nails, though. for some odd reason.
also talked to renae on the phone for the first time in what feels like forever. it was nice. and the weirdest part of today - i had this dream last night that i will not go into, but it was one of those dreams that was so REAL that when i woke up i wanted to call the person in the dream to ask them about something they did in it... and i found out today that the thing i dreamed the person did... they actually DID. and somehow, i knew it. *shrugs* odd.
i'm looking forward to work tomorrow and to getting to make use of my newly rearranged cube.

day one hundred and fifty seven

2006-01-07T23:59:00.000-05:00

feel like i was awake forever today. got up crazy early for work, and while i was there, decided to undertake the whole rearranging of the cubicle that lacey and i had discussed. i had no idea it woudl take as long as it did. but i think it's really gonna make more sense set up this way and i'm pleased with all i did. came home and spent the rest of the day hanging around in my pajamas (which i wore to work, incidentally). got to chatting with my old roommate johnny online, and had a great conversation. really made me remember why i had been so close to this kid for so long and kinda made me regret that we haven't been as close the past year and a half. i was telling him a little about someone i have kind of a crush on and, well, this is some of what was said:

andhowtoforget: maybe i think that one day i will get him drunk enough to fall madly in love with me or something
DoorToDoor ROCK : should be easy enough
DoorToDoor ROCK : youre basically the only woman ive never wanted to slap
DoorToDoor ROCK : not even ONCE
andhowtoforget : haha. aw damn. that might be the best compliment i've ever received
DoorToDoor ROCK : im serious
andhowtoforget : me too
DoorToDoor ROCK : like you know how negative i am
DoorToDoor ROCK : about EVERYTHING
andhowtoforget : yeah - we've met
DoorToDoor ROCK : haha
DoorToDoor ROCK : anyway
DoorToDoor ROCK : honestly
DoorToDoor ROCK : youre probably one of the only people ive ever known that i havent had one negative thing to say about
DoorToDoor ROCK : youre just one of those people who is geniunely better than everyone else

it was really nice, i thought, so i decided it'd been long enough since we'd hung out and i went and picked him up and took him out for some drinks. we met up with ashlee, deirdre, brady, alicia and paul at the blarney stone and it was just a really great night. and i've been up for almost 23 hours now and i am passing out to get, what daniela just referred to on the phone as, "booty sleep."

day one hundred and fifty six

2006-01-06T23:59:00.000-05:00

another long day at work. i was going to try to go to bed early today since i have to be at work at 5:30 tomorrow morning, but that never works out as planned. i sat up watching movies, talking on the phone, texting with rocko about feeling lonely (he sent me some wonderful messages which truly cheered me up - rocko is definitely one of the best friends i made in 2005!), and writing a long-ass letter to joe in france. he emailed me AS i was writing him and said that he has sent a lot of mail, but i'm guessing it takes a while to arrive from wherever the hell he is over there. as of yet, i have 4 great postcards tacked up to my doorframe and they make me happy.

day one hundred and fifty five

2006-01-05T21:06:00.000-05:00

long day at work. it's tough without lacey there. stopped by ryan's to drop off his keys that he left in my car when he started it last night. and dropped off an application for him for shamrock. i hope that works out. it'd be nice to have more than ONE driver working for me who has a fucking brain.

day one hundred and fifty four

2006-01-04T23:00:00.000-05:00

lacey was all sore this morning. she was miserable at work, and finally made a doctor's appointment. turned out she had a slipped disc!!? weird. luckily, with my car being dead and all, ashlee was kind enough to come pick me up from work. i joined her for a little shopping and we were supposed to do dinner and stuff, but my head was swimming with worries about the car, being without lacey's help at work, and lacey's condition in general. so i headed home to make sure my little disc slipper was ok. the point i felt the worst for her was when she asked me to put in a different dvd for her, as she'd been watching the same one over and over cause she couldn't bend down to change it. suck! ryan came by again and, thankfully, got the car running, so i don't have to drive lacey's car to work tomorrow (since now that i'm so use to the volvo, her tiny little corolla feels like a freakin' toy when i drive it). what a day.

day one hundred and fifty three

2006-01-03T23:59:00.000-05:00

back to work. car's dead again. ryan came to try to start it. no luck. ashlee had to drive me to tuesday dinner at brady's. which was so tasty! that boy can COOK.

day one hundred and fifty two

2006-01-02T23:59:00.000-05:00

if you seriously think i am up for posting any pictures today after the ton i did for the past two days, you are insane.
today was a good day, though. i always enjoy a day that ends with closing the blarney stone with a certain friend whose company i oddly always enjoy.

day one hundred and fifty one

2006-01-01T00:01:00.000-05:00

and it continued well into the morning.

day one hundred and fifty

2005-12-31T23:59:00.000-05:00

i got so many good pictures with so many good friends at the party - if i'm in it, it's goin' up. that's it.
