just in case...

just in case you ever get in a fight with your brother about what a slob he is, and say something like, "What do I look like, your mom?" be prepared for him to answer that truthfully with a "yes"

cattiness?

i was just thinking about this:

most of my friends are about my age - so around 25. about half of them go tanning. often. and not the spray on shit. its the stand in a booth-naked-for 10 minutes-several times a week tanning. and i guess tanning doesn't make sense to me, having been born with a nice shade of brown, but also because everyone know's how bad it is with all the UV rays and whatnot (which is why i wear SPF everyday).

anyways, the whole point of my ramblings is that when we're all 30 or so, these girls will look closer to 40, and i'll look (hopefully) like i'm still in my 20s. without having to get botox or some shit to make me look younger.

and that makes me happy.

did you ever notice that the people who get all involved in other people's lives, don't really have much going on in their own?

"i don't care about law school - blog!" -- kate

truth be told, i don't think i care much about law school either. 7 months left, and i'm at that point where i just want to get Cs in the rest of my classes and be be done already. anyways, here's the law school lastest:

MPRE
thats the Multistate Professional Responsibilty Exam. basically, ethics. its in a little over a week. so i've been studying. i don't know where i am with this stuff yet. it seems like common sense, and i just did the review class for it, and it made me feel like i didn't have to study at all. if only it were that easy. practice tests until Nov. 4th. superfun stuff.

CREDITS
So, i think i only need to take 12 credits next semester to finish. that'll be nice. but, i really fucked up some stuff from this past summer. apparently, i was supposed to keep a log of all my hours to make sure i had 56 work hours for each credit. i wanted 6 credits so i need 336 hours. i have no idea if that happened. and i can't seem to reach anyone at the city to verify my hours for me. oh, and i think my professor hates me.

my big dilemma on this is that if i don't get the 6 hours from this summer, i'll need to take more classes. 15 next semester won't be a problem. but trying to fit in 18? that'll be hell. hopefully, i'll get at least 5 hours for this summer.

BAR EXAM
i think i need to sign up for that. i guess i have to figure out what state i want to live in for the rest of my life first. ohio is my default choice. i've decided that if i haven't decided what state i want to be in by jan. 15, then, i'll take the bar in ohio. i'd really prefer not to do that. i want to live in California! someone come move there with me!

JOB
haven't really started looking yet. and it's recruitment season. looking for a job, studying for the MPRE and trying to keep up in my classes? giant pain in my ass.

so that's my law school life. and i can't seem to remember why i decided to do this to myself.

guilty pleasure

i am obsessed with the MTV show, "Laguna Beach". i have to watch it. i love it. it is both the best and the worst show ever. i don't know if it's real or fake. if its fake, it's fucking funny. and if it's real, it makes me feel so much better about myself and my own high school experience. the girls are so catty and bitchy! and they're all a bunch of rich, stuck up airheads. the boys are just there for show, and look way too old to be in high school. it's awesome! i love it! and i totally hated kristin last season with the whole stephen/LC/kristin triangle, but she's growing on me. it's just so fun to watch.

across the field

i bought a new t-shirt for the OSU/Texas game that's got "across the field" written on the front and i big block "O" on the back. i love it. i had a great time at the game (minus actually going to the game). i got to see the girls, and i ran into random people i hadn't seen since graduation. soemtimes i forget how much i love the excitement of being one of the thousands of people walking around lane avenue wearing scarlet and grey. i loved the whole weekend in columbus - minus the final score. here are the highlights:

1. friday night as we're leaving carlisle, this cop pushes MC in the back as we're leaving, and when he turned around, the f-ing cop pepper sprayed him! no reason. the fucking ass. its always a good idea to fuck with the only sober guy in the group. as it was, MC isn't the biggest fan of OSU, and now, i'm not sure i'll i've be able to switch him over.

2. so watching game day saturday morning, and there's some bit with mr. jessica simpson and university fight songs. and for some reason, ESPN decided michigan has the best fight song, and nick lachey sang it from the top of the shoe! i wanted the crowd outside to beat him down so bad! he's from OHIO! he fucking knows better!! i am convinced that him singing the michigan fight song from the top of our stadium made us lose. i hope soemthing really bad happens to him.

3. suzy boozy's engaged!!! i finally get to experience a mercer county wedding. can't wait.

stealing

so i am stealing internet from someone who lives in my building.

summer's over

i'm back at school and classes start up again on monday. woo hoo. can't wait. i'm dying with anticipation.

JS and SP had a wine and cheese right before i headed back. got a little drunk. then i went to a bar. and got really drunk. that was a fun night.

i finally said something to AD about how's weird he's been. nothing too horrible - i definately could have said worse. i just told him that he was one of the few people i really wanted to spend time with this summer, and that i was really disappointed in him for never making much of an effort to hang our with me at all. he said he was sorry. and i think i made him feel a little bad, but considering that he made me feel pretty bad all summer, i really didn't give a shit.

misc. updates

so kate wrote me a "where have you been?" comment - and she's right. i haven't blogged in over a month! craziness. however, i have been keeping track of hers, and D's (especially since he filled out my application).

so here's a qick update

i have a new potential BF, MC. yup - thats boyfriend. i think MC''s pretty much perfect for me - no application needed. but i'm trying to take it slow since we're only both in cleveland for the summer (both working for the city as law clerks), and i can't seem to commit to boyfriend-girlfriend status quite yet without seeing how the long distance thing is going to work out. mostly, i'm trying not to let my heart get to far in front of my head at this point. i'll do a whole different post on this.

i decided to skip the "friendship breakup". instead i've just quit putting in a ton of effort. i've tried multiple times to take the first step, but its not getting me any closer to any sort of resolution. so, i'm taking a step back, just far enough to see if he's going to step forward.

the internship ends next week. while i'm stoked to have nothing to do for 2 full weeks before school starts again, i think i'm gonna miss it. i won't get to see MC everyday. and i won't get to take extended "government" lunches with any of the other 20 interns. as much as i hated not getting paid for the second summer in a row, i'm going to be leaving the city with a few more lines to add to the resume, and a bunch of new friends. i guess that's a fair trade.

friendship breakup

do guys even understand the significance of a friendship break-up.  you know. where you say to a friend "i don't think we should be friends anymore".  similar to a break up where you say to the person you're dating "i don't think we should see each other anymore."

i've never actually done the formal friendship breakup before, (to be honest, i'm not sure i've ever dealt with a proper actual breakup before either, but that's not the point here) but i am considering one at the moment.

i've let go of friends and acquaintances that deserve to be let go.  and sometimes, i've even allowed them to come back, but never in the same capacity.

however the would-be dumpee in this example is a Y chromo, so i'm thinking the impact of the actual breakup would be completely lost on him.  i think i might just revert to "avoidance" and see what happens.  maybe he'll get the hint. 

while i think the breakup would be a good thing on one hand.  i think i'll be really sad.  i think sometimes it hurts more to lose a friend than a relationship.
