. . . and now i'm talking to myself . . .

HAPPY NEW YEAR GIRLS!!!!
and so endeth the blog until 2005 . . . .

im gonna leave in like 15 min

happy new year megan! ill talk to you somtime this weekend / next week

jules and rups are lucky :)

not only are they on vacation for a week and a half (well im not sure about rupa but seems like she is away) but when they get back they have so many random fun blogs to read! we are good friends...

yup

will be back sunday night. dev flies in today, around now i think...- havent talked to him since last monday, wrote him one text and thats it.

im really getting used to the whole not talkign to him thing and i think its for the best...the most awk thing is going ot be that there are xmas presents from me to him and from him to me under our tree...urgh...what a horrible time of year for all this to happen. i think when i get back, ill have him come over, we can open gifts (cause what are we going to do with them otherwise??) have dinner and talk...and end it... :-/ although i know he is going to respond to all this saying we can both try harder and make it work but i think im just going to be a brat about it and say what i really feel - i dont want to change - i dont want to make the clock in my head disappear, i dont want to not plan things in advance with the people that matter to me, i dont want to not focus on studying cause he cant handle it...so im not in a state to be in a relationship like this one...

anyway im glad im leaving today :) otherwise id have to face all this now, and avoiding it for a bit longer is def a better option for me now...

cant you get a copy of your key made?

HAHAHAHAHA!

(that's about the tan lines)
so the key situation . . . yeah, no. i was going to just leave him my keys today since he doesn't have to work tonight - but he didn't stay. which is probably better - because my landlord is coming in sometime around 10 to put in smoke detectors in the bedrooms.

i don't know about tomorrow . . .

and then - i'm going to hang out with my parents for new years. they are supposed to pick me up on their way through. they'd pick me up around noonish, a little before on friday so we could have an early dinner with my grandparents. and then on sunday, my mom wants to take my grandma to church - so i wouldn't get back to rochester until early afternoon. i think i want to tell them that i will drive myself so i can leave saturday night and sleep in my apartment saturday and actually have a day off in my apartment. and i think if they weren't picking me up, my parents might drive down on thursday (they both have thursday off) i think i'll call my mom tonight and suggest that . . .

so, today you fly to dc and stay there until . . . sunday?

keys

did you figure out what to do with that since you only have one set?

opposite sleep schedules are the worst...

finger update: no more splint, but i def have tan lines where the splint was :)

day 1

awesome and then horrible.
first of all - he didn't have to work, so no gym - just grocery shopping. then, we came home and he made us chicken fried rice. then we ate and watched house. then my mom called and i talked to her for like 20 minutes. after that, i found him laying in my bed reading. so, i got in bed next to him and started reading to. dead silence for about 45 minutes until at about quarter of 12 i said i needed to go to sleep. of course, he's messed up his internal clock and now doesn't fall asleep until sometime after 3am. so, there was tossing and turning until he finally just went into the living room. he actually came to bed at 6:30! i was like - um, my alarm is going of in half an hour . . . so, i got like 4 hours of sleep. he got none - but now it means he's probably asleep right now so its going to happen all over again tonight.

i'm going to DIE if this keeps up!

good morning megan

i survived my night with 9 people :) it actually wasnt that bad at all...it was kind of nice to have them there cause the two nights before the apt just seemed earily quiet all the time...

today im working till 12, then lunch with kerry then off to the airport...

how was day 1 of the move?

i'm leaving now!

I hope you have fun tonight!
sounds like its going to be an apartment full of brown people . . . scary :)

yup :)

except he is short and not cute and waaay too quiet...so not that exciting.

i envisioned 3 or 4 also! oh well...

peter just called he said he has to drop his roommate somewhere so he cant come over anyway...

i was trying that citibank thing that jules told us about where you get a free ipod mini but it is waaay too much work! i have to fax them a utility bill, a paystub etc etc..none of these things verify a phone number for me so i have to go to a branch to do that - a mini isnt worth that much of my effort!

im gonna leave in like 20 min...i need to take a quick nap before they come over!

i remember!

you told me these people were staying with you!
somehow - i envisioned like 3 people . . . not 8.
one of these is the guy his parent's want you to marry, right?

indians and family

we use the term loosely sometimes :) actually the actual cousin cant stay anymore cause these people are staying, not sure how we are related, but more than blood they are uma chittis best friends...so a mom, dad, 3 kids, plus the moms sis, husband and daughter :)

uma chitti sort of volunteered my apt since she knew j+J were gone...and i didnt realize it was 8 people and just said sure then got caught...oh well...whats the point of having a nice apt in the heart of NYC if you cant show it off to your friends and fam right?

who?

ok, i got the crazy cousin plus his wife. and peter. and you. that's only 4 . . .

nothing wrong with that :)

tonight there are going to be 10 people in the apt!! i dont know how we are going to handle this...

one good thing is that since random people sleep in my bed when im gone, i dont think there should be a problem with my family sleeping in j/js room when they are gone...i tried calling julies phone a couple times to make sure of this but for some reason it always goes to some weird recording thing...not sure what is going on there...

plus peter is coming over tonight :) this should be quite interesting...

rationalizing :)

I think you deserve whatever it is that would make you happy :)
the titanium powerbooks are prettier . . .

need vs want

i def dont need it. infact i dont even need a computer really. i mean anything i need to do i can do from 8-7 when im at work...the rest is just convenience. soooo the light weight of the powerbook should be worth it too right? :)

sooo . . .

you work hard enough that you want the more expensive gadget? not because you need it - just because its more expensive? wow. corporate america has taken you over :)

everyones fine

im still worried that there may be aftershocks, but i guess 3 days later i shouldnt be worried anymore...

i think i work too hard to buy the ibook just cause its cheaper :) i think ill go for the powerbook...ill stop by the apple store one of these days to figure out which one i want...

on computers, family, and edgar

how is your family?? was anyone effected (affected?) by the wave/earthquake? i'm really excited about new years plans with family :)

edgar does move in tonight! after work, i'm going to hit up the gym followed by a trip to wegmans (i just checked the online flyer and made a shopping list) the only thing i haven't worked out is how he's going to leave the apartment in the morning when i only have one set of keys and he doesn't want to have to get up and leave by 8:30 every morning.

as for the computer issue - i have a powerbook. and i agree with you, you really only need the ibook. i think the only major differences are 1. size 2. what its made of 3. size of memory. and really - the RAM and harddrive available is huge compared to what you are probably going to use. just keep the amount of seinfeld episodes you have saved on your harddrive to a minimum :)

computer

do you have an ibook or a powerbook? what does julie have? im thinking of buying a computer and i think i should go with a mac since both my roommates have that and it just looks cooler :) ibooks are waaaay less expensive and for the little use ill have with a computer at home seems like a worthwhile expense.

new years

i cant wait to go to DC. my aunt and i are getting manicures, im taking the kids to see the incredibles, go running with them (if its nice out, which may actually be possible in dc)

my parents flew to india last night. ill call them at 9 pm tonight to make sure they got there ok...

does edgar move in tonight???

if its only two of us - at least it's the two coolest ;)

so, this evening starts my 10 days of experimenting with new years resolutions. why do i say tonight? well, last night i ate a big dinner out, split a pitcher of beer and then came home and polished off a bottle of wine with jess and started in on a second. then, this morning, i was running a little bit late for the 8:30 shuttle, but way early for the 8:50 so i decided i'd walk into work and hit up the dunkin donuts on my way past. so, a bagel with cream cheese and a medium coffee later . . . i'm def losing at the "eat out less, exercise/eat healthy more" resolution.

it is snowing so much - and i guess windy enough - that the flakes look like they are falling up as well as down . . .

bikinis

seeing masses of skinny girls in PR definitely motivated me to want to go to the gym again...but maybe from 6-7 am isnt the best idea. im so tired that i didnt even want to make coffee in the senseo today so i bought some :)

megan its prob just you and me again - rupa must be in philly?

before sunset

we have that from netflix...i really want to see it but it kind of depressed me since i put it on the list/have wanted to watch it with dev and now ill be watching it alone...oh well...

i saw maria full of grace yesterday. i really liked it. it was nice to drop everything turn off the lights and watch a movie by myself.

my parents are going to india today, im a bit worried. this whole tsunami thing is new to me, and scarey...they were thinking of cancelling the trip, but i think it was just cause my mom thought i needed her to stay here with me since dev and i are having issues, but i told her i was fine (cause i really am) and told her if that was the only reason she had to go. i guess i kinda wanted them to think about this tsunami situation but even when i mentioned it neither of them seemed that concerned. i need to lighten up a bit....

xmas was excellent

i got a tiffany's necklace i picked out that my mom told me she wasn't going to get me :) and sushi plates (no, not like the sushi pillows) like, little square ones with matching really little ones for wasabi/soy sauce stuff. season 1 of sex and the city, before sunset, usual suspects, target gift card, an umbrella, a spice rack . . . and some other stuff. everyone liked what i gave them - including dad's pillow from brookstone.

the only annoying thing was steve skipped thanksgiving to be with missy's family under the premise that he'd spend xmas with us. apparently "us" only means immediate family because as soon as it switched to extended family (both dad's side and mom's) he went to missy's. BUT i got to talk to my dad's mom for like an hour - so it was really nice. and then i spent a lot of time with nicky (my almost 5 year old cousin) i sat next to him at dinner and fixed his plate for him and then played with him afterwards. and my parents got gift certificate to outback for jennifer and mark (his parents) and i got them movie tickets plus a movie gift cert. for popcorn and stuff - so jennifer asked me if i was volunteering to babysit. so i might get to babysit for nicky and danny (who is less than a year old - i told jennifer she needed to teach me how to change a diaper) i'm excited about that :)

and tomorrow jessie leaves for colorado and edgar starts his 10 days with me :) i'm REALLY excited for that because 1. jessie will have fun and be in a good mood 2. edgar gets to sleep over 3. classes are over so edgar will be working a lot so i'll get to go to the gym after work without feeling any guilt, get alone time in my apartment to practice cooking, and STILL get to see him without having to leave my apartment! jessie's vacation is as much a vacation for me as it is for her - i just will be going to work each day :)

megan how was xmas?

ive got the routine to make my coffee down to a science now to save me time and give me good coffee :) im getting used to it...

last night, i slept alone

i agree! jessie doesn't get back until today and edgar didn't want to sleep over because i was sleepy and he was wide awake and he knew i'd been getting up way earlier than he wanted to . . so he left at like 11:30. i was on the verge of sleep since like 11:00 and really kicked him out at 11:30. as soon as i laid down again, i was CONVINCED i heard a window open. and then i have all these scary images of someone ringing the doorbell, what would i do (because you can't see the door without going downstairs - and its just sort of creepy when then they can see you)

i don't know how i'm going to deal with living by myself!!!

im back

just caught up on my 100 emails and the few blogs that were there...

the trip was sooo fun. i didnt see luis :( but i did see jo. sad and lonely as usual :( he is a professor at a small university there but spent the whole time we were together complaining that he was under paid (which is true, he only gets like 55, but then again thats for 9 months - i think thats low for a person with a phd!!) he is way too cocky to get anywhere in life though - he thinks just cause he is the smartest person i know that he should rule the world....

the rest of it was just sleeping and relaxing :) then we got back sat night, opened all our xmas gifts (jules i cant wait till you see what sashank got me its soo pretty! its next to the tv now, i just need a nice vase to put it in...) mom and dad got me mostly clothes, some random other stuff, my dad bought me an ugly pin but i told him i wanted to return it and he said he wanted to buy me a burberry purse instead, i went to the store and didnt like anything, so i told him id take a rain check...

havent talked to dev on the phone since the sunday night i believe? after megan left. he has texted me a lot, ive written back with sorry this is so hard but i think its the best and to his long text on xmas all i wrote was merry xmas 2 u 2. last night was the hardest since i was alone from 6 pm. but i watched maria full of grace then the first desparate house wives which was a repeat - which made all of rupas catching up points make so much more sense! and went to bed...i find it amusing that its comforting to know when julie and jackie are sleeping in their own beds or at least coming home later in the night...when im alone all the random noises keep me awake all night!!!

ok time to work...
