can you see what time they check it at?

i moved everything over

all our old blogs etc are in a new server.. well i guess we still can't tell who looks at the other one.. but at least we can start fresh and actually watch who checks this site..

i was looking at the old stats and it's basically always us four (bankofamerica, deshaw, and rochester.edu) and it has been the whole time.. but the-cloak person has been looking since october!!!!

how can we see?

how did you just move everything over to this new site?

ha ha!!!!

aren't we tricky!!! now we can see who actually looks at this!! :)

:)

true, only jealous "ex" i could think of....

meganl@alum.mit.edu

it is sooo nice out today. just walking to the bank to cash a check was fun and energizing:)

megan's email

address? what is it? :)

don't give him that much credit

he has windows xp, and i'm like 99% sure that he has no idea what the cloak is or how to use it. . .

what OS does peter have? :)

im sooo tired....i think im going to go out for some fresh air...

wait, you're not a slut???

:)

i don't care who it is

i'd rather know that no one else is reading :) although, i guess i'd rather have a complete stranger reading about our lives than someone like, say ekta. . . especially since we're not exactly 'nice' all the time. . .whoever is reading this must think i'm the biggest slut!

i'm still feeling pretty shitty, so i guess i'm going to have to skip the gym. blah. i hate skipping my workout, especially when i'm going to be home and wearing a bikini in a couple of days.

i re-scheduled my performance review for thursday. i'm just not feeling well and i don't really feel like having a conversation with anyone right now. nush, they already paid me my bonus. i'm think i'm going to mention that i wasn't satisfied with it, but i'm pretty certain there's nothing he can do about it now. what i definitely want to do is tell him how annoying and difficult it is to work with katy's replacement . . ..

its prob someone who does know the 4 of us...

i mean we love watching the girls in sex and the city and desparate housewives go on and on about their lives...there are a few days that we are completely boring, but all in all i think we lead pretty interesting lives :)

NOT STAYING IN ROCHESTER

ok, you can say you don't want me to move to fl, but there is no way i'm staying in rochester. i've tried small, medium and large and visited you guys in extra large - i need large. i hate having to drive everywhere, but not enough people to have regular cabs.

not my bf...

he def doesnt have windows 98...

thats scary. rupa youre job to figure out how to fix it! :)

your performance review is now?? did they already pay out the bonus or can you still talk to him about all the stuff we (you rupa and me) discussed that night after i found out i passed the exam? i dont remember all of it but i remember we had some good ideas for how you should approach him and tell him you are worth way more than he is paying you...

yeah we saw them at the bar with hoegarten on tap :) i love rochester. megan you cant move to FL!!

we're not that interesting!

i don't get it, why would someone spy on us??
its not me - i don't have jealous ex-bf and i tell my present bf all the interesting stuff ;)
seriously, how do you stumble onto a site like this? and how do you find it interesting enough to read it - when most of it is 4 people you don't know going on and on and on about themselves?? people are sad.

ummm

password-protect this sucker, please! i DO NOT want anyone reading this. it's kind of like a journal, right? how creepy would it be to have other people read this and start stalking us or something? and no, i don't know anyone with a windows98 machine.

we did meet megan's work people. they were at that bar for a little bit the first night we were in rochester. i'll probably go to boston that friday after work, too. i really want to hang out in boston for a bit, and i know that jackie's one only requirement is that we go to whiskey park at some point. that thursday (march 3rd) is the night joe's taking us to the nets/heat game :)

nush, i'm sorry the rest of your evening wasn't great. you guys looked like you were having such a good time cooking and all. i think you should just end this all and date satyan ;) i'll go with you to the show next week . . just remind me that i can't put my pjs on when i come home. . .

rups, dont' let your roomie get to you. you're going to cali tomorrow! you can't let anything get you down.

i finally have my year-end performance review with my manager today. it's been so long since i got my written review, that i don't really care anymore. . .

spies

so i was looking at the stats of our blog and i think we have some spies...

someone has been reading this using "the-cloak.com" which is a way of visiting websites while hiding your ip address. the person doing it has a windows98 machine. kinda ancient.. but does anyone know who that is?

could be a jealous boyfriend... let me know what you think. maybe we should password protect this.. or change the URL

yumm

i just had our leftovers for lunch :) yummy

im so tired and work is frustrating, but im in a surprisingly good mood today...

such a chatty blog today!

this is fun :)

welcome back rupa :)

megan, i think i met work people when i went alone last year? who did i meet?

pics are up, just need to write captions...if i get time today ill do it and email it out...there are over 100 of them :) but it goes by quick - its hard to send a bet of pic cause the whole trip was so fun...

satyan works at a fund of funds in CT, met him at a conference a while back, met him again, introduced myself again as if i hadnt met him, he laughed and was like i met you at this time blah blah blah. went to the US open with him...does that help? he plays the tabla for this girl from india who sings some indian/american fusion. they are apparently really good - have been on MTV asia, sang at carnegie hall...there is another show (not with the girl though i think another group) next thursday...if you are free you should come too!

have you talked to ameya? hows he doing? is he using his blog??

im going to go to boston on friday...im hoping julie is doing the same and ill just go up whenever she does...i guess i was thinking greyhound since its the same price as chinatown and more convenient to get to...

everyone's here!

i'm getting in to boston thursday night (march 3rd) koo's seems like its going to work out amazing - ann will probably have moved out by then, so edgar and i will get our own room :)

you guys did meet courtney - briefly. she's the married one. she's doing better now :) she took action and went on a cleaning frenzy, so i think it worked off some of her energy. plus, gen helped her, so i think they vented together. they take everything SO PERSONALLY around here - it amazes me they can get through a day without exploding.

i'm glad joe was cute and rupa had fun. sorry nush about dev :( not at all that i'm agreeing with him - but sometimes when really annoyingly uncontrollable things like that happen, you need to lash out at something. except that he has a history of not recognizing you are not the proper "something" to lash out at, i'd say forgive him. as it is . . . i don't know. i just think you should be able to realize when your frustration is about an inanimate object - once or twice can be ignored, but consistently venting on a person is immature. its like a child's temper tantrum.

hallo!!

i don't think we met any friends from the new job, right? all the folks we met in rochester were p.f.changs and other restaurant folk.

HI EVERYONE!!!! :) i know it's been a while since i've written but i am finally back. sorry it's a blah morning.. jules you should leave early today again!! get lots of rest so that you are all ready for your trip. t and s can survive without you. you should MAKE them survive without you.

i had a really nice valentines day. i went out with work people.. matt, ellie, and my roomie and this other guy for tibetan food. which was really fun and the food was awesome. i got home fairly early, watched everwood and crashed early.

work has been good.. i'm leaving wednesday night for the wedding (yay!) so i'm super excited.

megan- sorry courtney is being weird. how is the volunteering going? are you having fun with the animals and bonding with the Dr. who's gonna write the great recommendation? i hope things are going well. when do you guys get in to boston? i know i missed all the lbogs about this and you are staying with koo.. but if you need a place to stay.. if koo's is cramped or something. you guys could take my sis's futon.

nush- when are you uploading pics of the trip? i'm so excited to see. it was nice hanging out on friday :)

umm.. those are all my updatey messages.

i'm kinda blah too... my roommate's kinda pissing me off.. nothing terrible.. i've just started to notice how different she acts around diff people.. and people in general who act like that really get to me. it's not even that she's doing anything terrible.. but just watching people be fake and getting to see diff versions in a short span of time makes my skin crawl. so i'm trying to be better about dealing with it.. it's not a good way to be in general.. especially since we tend to come across lots of people like that.. i.e. a few brown girls we know from mit?

anyway.. i'm fine. happy to be blogging again.

who's this satyan guy again? what kind of show does he have?

courtney

was she one of the girls that came out with us that night? one was married and one wasnt...what are their names again?

i had a lot of fun last night :) dev and i made one of the best dinners. we usually only make mexican so it was nice to change it up. i made the same mushroom thing i made for our dinner party a few weeks ago and dev made bruschetta which was amazing and pizza which also was very good. my little set up in my room was very romantic although i def miss his apt in atlanta on days like that...his apt was so spacious but the little table in my room worked out perfectly :)

of course when we went back to his place he found a way to ruin the night...it was raining and if you remember from previous stories the rain tends to pound down on his air conditioner and i really cant sleep...so when i walked in i remembered and was totally bummed out. so he nicely was like well i thought of it so why dont we just take it out. i was thrilled that he suggested it and i didnt have to complain or stay awake all night...BUT when we took it out (julie this part will make the most sense to you) it staarted dripping black disgusting water...just like jackie predicted hers would. it was gross. got all over the carpet and one of his new shirts, which i immediately washed in the sink and got all the dirt out of it, put it in the laundry and its perfect now...but still he was mad and saying things like why did you make me do that i wish you were more accomodating etc etc. it pissed me off cause he suggested it! and its just not fair - it is really irritating. its not just me complaining about something minor.... anyway, he was a jerk, and then realized it and kept appologizing and saying that it wasnt fair lalala...urgh....kid of negates the whole happy first paragraph dont you think...

i think i really want to date satyan :) my friend from the other fund of funds...he called me last night...i obvioudly didnt answer but his message was cute...we are going to see aviator next week...and he has a show on next thurs night (jules we have to go to this one...no getting comfortable in pjs like last time!!)

g'morning ms. megan (and the rest of you)

i feel so blah. my throat has been hurting since yesterday - i left work a little early to try to sleep it off. joe came over last night and we just hung out at the apt - it was so nice. we just talked for a while, ordered food, then watched a movie (trading places, which we just got on netflix). i really wanted to see it because it deals with commodities, which is what jackie and joe work with every day. anways, it was really nice just having somebody to cuddle with :) it sucks that he lives all the way in jersey (so it takes him like an hour to get home on the train). he left at around 11. i tried to go to sleep after he left, but i just tossed and turned on my bed forever. blah.

oh well, hopefully i'll get better if i just lay low this week, and then i'll be in sunny mia on thursday night! :)

oh yea, nush - i finally returned the manchurian candidate today! and we also returned starsky and hutch. aren't you proud? ;)

courtney

the human room across the hall is messy.
it is def not all me (or even mostly me) but i'm sure its partially me! and courtney went in there and now she's all freaking out. i want to like take the blame so she's not directing all her anger at anagha and katy (who she really likes to blame all the world's evil on) oh well. maybe i can just avoid her for a while and she'll calm down . . .

good morning darlings

no gifts from me either...

there isnt anything glaring in my face that i know he wants hence the just doing cute romantic things at home...i think hell like the candles since that was the big thing last year too. and hell def like the no studying :)

i plan on going home, cleaning the apt cause it is absolutely disgusting and then getting dressed up till he comes. im wearing my new vday necklace from my parents and tonight ill wear indian clothes just cause i like excuses to wear indian clothes with him...

i cant believe its almost 3...time flies when you have tons of busy work to do :(

vegas?

sometimes there isnt an explanation. that being said id looove to go to vegas. dev is going there tomorrow morning for a conference all week...

i didnt know about sat night :) miguel was really cute. he had nice eyes. all the boys were really nice. i really wanted to buy rey's camera but never really spent time with them after the first night i got back..oh well, maybe when we go to miami for the cruise...

cliche's are cliche for a reason

a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

bird in hand - joe
the 2 in the bush - miguel and spikey

the one that is around and great is great - not just great because he's around :) he's better than the random guys!

and dude - what is up with leaving early for vegas? did rey know? hate to be so pessimistic about a guy i don't know - but maybe he was in it for sex and when he was shot down, he decided vegas with vilma was better than two no's in a row :)

i am worthless - by the way. i sort of did some work last week. that's it. really - only 2 days of work sort of spread across a 5 day week . . . i should attempt something but i do want to ask eun questions and now she is officially not in touch until friday.

when i replied to anusha about plans for tonight i completely didn't think about the fact today was vday :) i have to keep reminding myself - edgar and i agreed to not celebrate this year - actually, i suggested it so i wouldn't have to figure out what to do for him. sounds sad on my part, i know but he has no money doing the school thing - so its not completely selfish :) actually, i'm thinking of getting us both massages (a spa around here has a neck, back, and hot stone massage 40 minutes for $55) because we take turns giving each other massages and i thought it would be nice to let a professional do it :) but i'm not saying anything to him because i don't want him thinking about it. last year, he took me out to dinner on a random night to tappas (anusha, the restaurant we went to with jess and molly) because vday was on a night we were both working.

goodbye earl

megan, that song just started playing on my ipod, so i obvioulsy thought of you immediately. ahh, the good ol' days :)

anyways, i had a fun weekend too! i obviously didn't get as much sleep as i needed, but i still had a great time.

i saw the gates in central park yesterday! i took julia ice skating in central park, which she loved. it was her first time on the ice so she was a little scared at first, and she definitely didn't let go of my hands the whole time we were there, but she had a great time. she was so excited when i got to her apt to pick her up. she even made her mom buy her a disposable camera so she could take pictures! when i picked her up, her mom told me that she (the mom) had been depressed for the past couple of days, so when we left her house i told julia that we should buy her mom flowers for valentine's day on our way home. her mom LOVED the flowers! you should have seen the look on her face, she was so surprised. i'm glad we got her mom flowers, because when i got there they gave me a valentine's day present, too! a teddy bear and chocolates. . isn't that cute?? i definitely wasn't expecting anything.

so, megan, i guess you're probably the only one that needs an update on my weekend since anusha and rupa have heard most of it. . .

as you know, rey, jose, and miguel all arrived tuesday night. rey and jose went to high school with us, and this was the first time we met miguel - he went to college (FIU) with rey. he's 25 and lives in santa barbara now. since the first night he was always hanging out with me and going out of his way to be nice to me and stuff. i thought he was cute and really interesting. thursday night we all went clubbing. we had about a billion shots at the apt before we left. i was pretty wasted by the time we got to the club and ended up making out with miguel. he slept in my bed when we came home, but we didn't hook up or anything. we just made out for a little and then went to sleep. the next morning he sent me a couple of cute text messages and stuff. i felt like shit on friday, because i knew spikey was coming friday and didn't think he'd be too excited about me making out with miguel . . .

on friday we all pre-partied again at the apt and then met up with spikey and jordan (jordan's our friend that promotes at different clubs. he went to cornell with spikey, and we actually met jordan through spikey). spikey was pretty wasted by the time we got there - he was actually really really drunk. he started dancing with me as soon as i got there and kept trying to kiss me. i told him that i'd gotten wasted the night before and made out with miguel. he was like, "so, will miguel get mad that i'm dancing with you right now?" i obviously said no. so whatever, spikey didn't seem to mind too much. we made out and danced for a while, and then he kept telling me that he just wanted us to go home. i had just gotten there and rupa and anusha and a bunch of work people had just arrived, also, so i definitely didn't want to go. i also didn't really want to go just go home and hook up with him - i wasn't drunk enough to make that seem like a good idea. so he kept insisting that we go home for a while, then we went to the bar to get him some red bull 'cause he was falling asleep. on our way back from the bar, some girl that had been staring at him all night grabbed him and started dancing with him. and.. . that's all i saw or heard from spikey the rest of the weekend. he hung out with that girl all night, then when the club closed the guys and some girls were going to get something to eat, and spikey took that girl with him. i went home when i realized that all the guys had girls. he didn't say bye, he didn't call the rest of the weekend. . .nothing. so whatever, i was kind of bummed that night but it's no big deal. he's definitely not worth it. i was just kind of annoyed that i wasted the beginning of the night hanging out with him instead of just hanging out with miguel. the girl spikey spent the rest of the night with wasn't even cute!

so miguel, rey, and jose all came home at like 7am that morning. saturday we all (rey, jose, miguel, jackie and i) went to brunch, then went to f.a.o. schwartz, central park, shopping. sat night we went to free wine and got a good buzz going there, and then we went to a couple of other places. miguel and i spent most of the night hanging out together again. we were sitting together at one of the bars we were at, and he kissed me. i totally did not expect him to want to kiss me again after he saw me making out with spikey the night before. at some point in the night we met up with this girl that the guys are friends with, vilma (spelling?). she was reallly nice and cool. we were all at a lounge by our apt together. jackie went home because she was tired, so i was there with the guys and vilma. after a while miguel wanted to go home, so he and i left and rey, vilma, and jose stayed at the bar. when we got back to the apt we started making out a little and he tried to go a little farther, but i didn't want to so we just went to sleep. the next morning i woke up early to go to church, then went to pick up julia to go ice skating. when i got home at night, jackie told me that miguel had left and asked her to say bye to me. he was supposed to fly back to california today, but decided to take off last night to go to vegas with vilma. random? apparently they had lunch together sunday, she was going to vegas and convinced him to go with her. this is the part that jackie and i are really confused about. if there was/is something between miguel and vilma, then why did he hang out with me sat night instead of with her? so weird. a

nyways, rey and jose will be gone by the time i get home tonight, and i'll just go back to wonderful joe :) i'm still exhausted from the whole weekend and i think i might be getting sick, so i don't want to to anything tonight. joe and i are hanging out. i want to do something low-key, like order food/or grab something not-fancy and just watch a movie. ok, back to work.

edgar and i

i have no idea. he and i (once again) have conflicting schedules on mondays. he has class for 2 to 4 and from 6 to 9. so - i'm at work during most of his break, and he's in class for a good chunk of what would be "us time" . . . so, i don't know. maybe i'll see if he wants to go some place to study and i'll read or something like that. . . (we lead boring lives)

i have a movie from netflix that i've had for about a week that i should watch - but it just looks boring. i'm not sure why i put it on my list in the first place, but i didn't really notice when it came up and i started watching it the other day and it just looks awful - its called army of darkness and is like a spoof on sci fi/horror flicks. its only saving grace is that its only 80 minutes long. i've gotten through like 20 minutes of it - maybe i can tackle the other hour tonight. plus - i will stop by eun's and feed her cats and go to the gym.

thats an under statement :)

but i think it does look really cool. esp in the winter since all the trees are bare and the whole park is sort of bleak...

i wish julies dad were here to take some cool pictures! although mine and sashanks werent too bad :)

i also uploaded all the japan pics last night, later today ill caption them and order them and send them out...

what are you and edgar doing tonight?

the gates in central park

i've heard all about it . . . i think on pbs. i don't get a lot of tv stations, and usually the clips on the pbs/channel that has random british stuff has the most fun random shows (travel shows, the jewish cooking show . . .) the artist and his wife are WEIRD.

my turn

i had a wonderful weekend!

friday night went out with patty for her bday with natasha and some of pattys friends. it feels good to just be out with a bunch of girls like that even though i didnt know most of them. then the girl night continued at rupas. she is the cutest host in the whole world! ellen and her friend from work were there and rupas sister. the rest were de shaw people. it was fun! good drinks, awesome food (which you guys prob already guessed). then we got dressed and met up with julie and all her men at a club. which was fun but i really dont like those crowded clubs anymore. and from that night, my vote is def for joe over spikey. he was drunk and totally not impressive. i cant believe he has a kid!! but i like joe :)

sat i slept most of the day then went to see a very touching hindi movie with dev. it was in times sq which by itself is cool :) the movie is called black - megan not sure if theyd have it in rochester but i think youd like it. so add it to your netflix cue. its very sad but really good acting; basicalyl a hellen keller story of an indian girl.

sunday sashank kerry and i went to central park to see the gates (megan: an artist put up like 50,000 saffron colored flags all over central park, ill send you a picture tonight, it looks really cool) then went to the natural history museum with satyan (my friend from work) and then dev and i went to ruby foos in times sq. i really liked it! its like pf changs but better....then desparate housewives then bed :)

tonight dev is coming over and cooking me dinner. im excited. things are going well (i know i know, they are going well for like the last two days, that isnt indicative of anything...) but anyway, i have the candles that he lit in a heart shape last year for v day so im going to take them out and light them up again in my room. i think julie and joe are going to be home too, so well prib just cook and then go eat in my room while watching a movie. im going to set up a mini candle lit table on my floor using tejals end table that she made and then pillow cases to sit on. i miss his huge apt in atlanta but its ok i think itll still be romantic :)

ok back to work....

the weekend review

so, eun's dad died thursday night-ish. friday, we got phone calls in the lab from pulmonary (eun's department) because that was where her sister was calling in hopes of finding a phone #. i skipped out early and went to dsw and then to euns - where i found the phone #, called the hospital and tracked down the person in pulmonary who had talked to her sister, got her sister's # and left a message with her # in spain. friday night, i did a whole lotta nothing. edgar and i slept over at eun's house - he had a headache and i had cramps saturday, so we spent the day in bed. saturday night, i cleaned around the apartment and watched "united states of leland" (pretty eh in my opinion - jess liked it) sunday was my fun day. the weather was great - sunny and 28 degrees so nothing was melting but it was pleasant to be outside. i walked dogs in the morning - which i loved. then, i hung out with jess for like half an hour and picked up edgar. he and i grabbed some breakfast (bagels and coffee eaten at eun's) then we were going to go to this snowtubing hill - but when we got there, it was sooo crowded - like going to a really small crappy water park in august where there are only 6 slides and lots of kids. so, then we were really far out there - too far away to get to the snowshoeing place that was our second choice of things to do. so - we went to my grandparents weekend house and went walking around the trails there and went to dinner at this country diner place. then, we drove back to rochester and went to see hitch. i don't care about reviews - i loved it. kevin james was soo funny. and will smith is a beautiful beautiful man.

i'm going to get nothing done today - i can tell already.

you guys are all boring...

but its ok cause its finally 530 and im gonna leave soon

muah

bowling ball...

thats what my upper lip feels like again. i hate the dentist. but hopefully thats it till june when i go for my 6 month cleaning...

i know the feeling

there doesn't seem to be enough time to work, enjoy yourself, AND do things like study for tests.

the pregnant lady in the lab has now been told to go on an atkin's diet because she gained too much weight. basically, all we talk about is pregnancy these days . . . she has gained too much weight and still has 2 months left, so the dr. put her on an atkins diet to drop some of the extra lbs. poor girl . . . i don't know how you guys do that no carb crap - i like things like sanwiches and pancakes and fruit and veggies too much to have to regulate.

good :)

glad to hear you are doing better...

i didnt know shark tale was out on dvd already! i found out this morning and added it to my netflix cue...the goal of the test last december would have been nice if that was it, but unfortunately it has started again. i cant help but feel that every social thing i commit to is time away from studying, and there arent enough hours in the day or days in the week to finish everything i need to do...

next weekend with everyone gone (julie in miami, rupa in cali, jackie in cali) i think i should be able to get some solid work done so i dont feel like im always buried...

time to eat lunch, i have to go to the dentist again today...this will be the last time in hopefully a year...

morning girls!

ok, i'm in a better mood today!
the sun is out and as soon as i left yesterday i called edgar and we met up for chai. we talked for 2 hours about random stuff and it was better. i talked to him about not being able to talk about us and about what scares me about our future and a lot of stuff that i needed to say. i think he is getting more and more willing to be flexible about things and i'm not giving him enough credit - like anusha and dev's issue of her going to sleep early. he and i have the same problem - i told him this saturday i wanted to sleep in. that it didn't matter when he woke up, i would probably just roll over and go back to sleep. he was more than ok with it. which seems really small, but its a constant tension when we don't get to spend time together that when we do have time alone, i sleep. basically - we have a goal of july 1st. then, i'll get my own apartment and jessie will move to buffalo - kind of like anusha's goal for taking the test last december.

then i went home and watched shark tale from netflix with jess and went to the movies to see hide and seek with her. i am really looking forward to july. we still get along great - its just so hard to have those good moments when we live together and still don't see each other because of work and edgar. it will be nice to have her move away so that the time we spend together is the good stuff without all the bad stuff.

so, all i have left for my to do list today is email eun some data. its going to take some time to get the data set up right and the email composed - but not 4 hours! yeah - i might leave early again today :)

good morning

thought id start the morning off by sharing one of my japan stories :) i think a week of stories in piece meal may be a better approach than me trying to write it all...

other than the food, the second most annoying thing about japan was coffee - there must be some huge import tax on it or maybe they just like to torture people who drink coffee as opposed to green tea like how we punish people who smoke with high prices...but in any event a coffee the size of a grande here is over 4 dollars! and they dont even have the venti size - that is just un heard of. the one good thing about it - now when i buy 2 dollar venti coffees at starbucks it seems cheap to me :) i wonder how long that will last (probably until i get off my butt and order some senseo coffee from their website!!!)

other than that random japan story, i didnt sleep again last night. dev came over and like i predicted he wasnt so happy when i wanted to go to bed "early" which was 11 pm and which by my standards is not early! anyway he finally let me sleep, and at 2 when he came back to bed tried waking me up, succeeded, and then i was awake till 5 am. i was not a happy camper when the alarm went off at 630....

today is pattys bday so im gonna go out to dinner with her and whomever else she invites, then to rupas, then hopefully out with j+j...

sorry megan part 2 :(

we may be in another city but we all have cell phones, and i even have verizon - its free to call me!

i just left you a message but ill try again around 6 when i leave work...

i'm going home

i haven't done anything today and i've already almost cried like 3 times. i told courtney and gen a little bit about it so they are both giving me really sympathetic looks and being great.

the problem is he doesn't want to push me - that's where the just be friends came from. there is a vet school in florida, in gainesville. i looked it up, pretty good. one of the vets at the animal clinic nearest me in rochester went there. and he's already insinuated that he would move with me where ever when i went to vet school. and the rush for the decision comes from a couple of places 1. i'm may be 23, but he's 29 and staring 30 in the face (april 30th) so he's in its time to get married range (esther's grandma told him he was a little ripe to still be single) 2. i think he's already decided in his mind that he would be happy marrying me - so, if i'm not feeling the same way, he'd rather know now that just be sitting around waiting for the fatal blow. we've had this conversation before - i just think its becoming more and more do or die time and harder to just not think about it.

and you know what makes it harder? i don't have anyone to talk to about it. you guys are in another city, i'm not THAT close to gen and courtney and jessie will not listen to a conversation about him. i don't even want to talk to my mom about it because even though she's really come around to being ok with him, i don't think she's ready to hear about how serious he is. since the little break up/get back together in august - i feel so on the defensive about this relationship, like i have to make it seem perfect to everyone so they just lay off their unwanted judgments.

alright, that's it. i'm starting to cry again. i'm going home.

sorry meg :(

i don't know too much about serious relationships (since we all know i haven't had anything resembling a serious relationship), but it doesn't seem right that he wants to push you to make a decision (i have images of aidan and carrie running through my head). why do you have to decide right now that you do or don't want to be with him for the rest of your life? some people date for 4 months (like my parents) and know that's the person they're going to spend the rest of their life with; while it takes others years to figure that out. is it wrong for me to think that 23 is still a bit too young to get married and all that??

and even if you knew that he was "the one", how would you feel about moving to florida? why does he want to go there, anyway? does he know if there are any vet schools in the area? would being in florida somehow be better for his schooling/career?

we didn't get tickets for the basketball game last night. we went to msg and found some guys outside trying to sell us ticktes, but the guys thought they seemed really sketchy and they didn't want to risk wasting our money on fake tickets or anything. so instead, we just went to 40/40 (jay-z's sports bar) and watched the game there. miami was playing really shitty and the game went into over time, but miami ended up beating the nicks in the end. after that, jackie and i went home because we were exhausted from the night before. the guys were a little annoyed that we didn't want to go out with them, but they ended up meeting up with some girls they had met at the bar tuesday night. an hour after we got home, jackie and i got a phone call from the guys asking "do you guys know of any places where under-21 year olds can get in?" yep, apparently they were hanging out with really young girls. i found that amusing.

i'm going to the gym after work today, and then i don't know what we're doing tonight. i think jackie's asking josh to put us on the list for whatever party he throws tonight. i don't know how i'm going to get through this weekend, i'm already soooo sleepy!

you can stall but only for some time...

i think its fair that you dont have to make a decision now about where this is going and what you want, but its also fair for him to ask you and at some point to decide that if you dont know and probably are leaning to wont, then its fair for him to want to "just be friends" (not that i think the friends part will work...at least not functionally...)

what time frame does he want to move to FL? if staying with you meant staying in the NE (or mostly just north for you I guess...) would he stay?

im actually being productive this morning :) somewhat...my appetite is all over the place though, no sense of timing in my body for being hungry and knowing what i want to eat...really ive been craving wings (surprise surprise...). i think ill order that tonight...

jules, did you get tickets to the game last night? whatd you guys do?

no one was meant to get up today

so - i slept over at eun's last night with edgar.
my day was going fine - i went to the gym with jess then headed over to eun's - took care of the cats and watched a little tv until edgar got there. we haven't been spending a lot of "alone time" together lately. anyway, we got into this discussion - one that we've had more than once lately - only he took it a step farther. basically, its the where is this going, should we be together. he suggested maybe we should "just be friends" that's not what he wants, in his ideal world we would be looking at moving to florida together and getting engaged/married. i don't think i'm ready to lose him. but is it fair of me when i don't know - and am leaning towards won't - whether we'll end up together forever?

then this morning i realized i had packed pants and a caridgan, but had skipped the shirt underneath so i had to go home and then to work - which made me late to lab meeting. courtney's lab meeting. and i was sleepy because obviously i didn't sleep well last night and then she turned off the lights - so, i know she noticed and i'm just so blah. i don't want to be here. i feel like crying.

oh yeah :)

i was wondering why what i wrote didnt seem to make sense...

im tired too, and i just got here, so i also feel lazy and guilty...i hate that! anyway no gym for my tonight either cause i told dev id hang out with him tonight...hopefully he doesnt get too frustrated if i go to bed at 9...

so much work to do and my eyes are barely staying open!

correction

nush, we got "married" so that YOU could park at westgate - i always lived on-campus! and dude, don't even remind me about the tech caller days. . .i still tell people about the time some asshole picked up the phone and said his girlfriend couldn't talk to me because she was busy giving him head. ewwww.

anyways, that's crazy about christina. nush, are you invited to the wedding?? are you going?

i think i knew that marlene got married. i think i might have heard it from gabe or something.

ok ladies, i'm tired and cranky because it's rainy out. time to have breakfast and read the paper :) oh yea, and then i should eventually try to focus on work. . .

lasted this long...

think ill go home soon...

maybe ill be more alive tomorrow

ahh the memories

at first i thought only megan and i would understnad how painful those conversations really are, but even julie joined the desparate ranks of the tech caller world at one point!!

jessie slept with a man married to a man

its one of her college stories-some friends of friends (or maybe strangers they picked up in a bar . . .) 2 british guys in the states for a roadtrip had purchases a car together, but to do so they had to be married. so, they married in vermont and bought a crappy car to drive around in while in the states. and she slept with one of them! apparently he was also hot.

now nush and jules have the same address . . . next time a tech caller calls you should ask them if you'd like to speak with your wife and if you could have your cards attached! and then when you guys move away from each other, you can tell them you got a divorce and start sobbing uncontrollably and say the separation has been so very painful and how hard it is to talk about it.

HAHAHA! it would be great :)

yup

kevin proposed last week...

mit has paperwork where julie and i had to say that we were married so she could park at west gate :) geez that was so long ago....

christina engaged

to kevin?

lunch and work

i do work a little sometimes :)
and i went to the parking office to submit the form to get my parking lot changed - i don't like having to take the shuttle every morning just so i don't have to walk for 20 minutes to get to work. so, now i'm on a wait list - i probably will never get off of it, but it makes me feel more validated in complaining :)

megan where are you?

julie is at a "working lunch", rupa is busy...

christina almodovar is engaged!!!!

wow...how weird.....

updates and responses

well my first order of business was to skim my 300 emails...which got boring after about 5, so i started to read the blog while i ate my dinner/breakfast/whatever hell meal it is when your body is at a 2 am timezone and you have eaten gross plane food (or havent eaten gross plane food and therefore havent eaten much but crackers for 20 hours....) anyway, now i finished my wonderful eggs and turkey bacon :) and am still working through my coffee...

quick highlights: i had sooo much fun with chike :) there are more details to come but in another blog...every part of the trip was fun. except for the night i went out with chike, i was in bed at around 10 every night and was up at 7 or so to go sightseeing every day. i even got to study a lot on the trains (each day about 2 hours on a train or so to get from place to place - japan is smaller than cali but we did the about 3/4 of the main places in the 8 days...). thats good cause now im mostly caught up which means i can hang out with my roommates and go to rupas party on friday :)

here are my comments on the blog: (and i read everything in less than 30 min, rups have you read everything yet???)

dean: megan i think esp in college there were just too many people that you valued too much and that you gave too much credit to when really you were the one making all the effort. i think most of the frat guys were like that. but thats ok, you realize who your true friends are in due time...this coming from the pessimistic one- relationships i had like the one you had with dean def make me sad, but then you look at the relationships that didnt end up like that and it makes up for it.... bryan wasnt that bad :)

random PR gossip (stemming from the juancho conversation)- did i tell you guys marlene got married? when i was in PR? JO called me to go out with them that night apparently (them = every PR we know from school including juancho (who lives in PR) except Luis....he was pissed...surprise surprise...) i obviously didnt go.

ice skating: i really want to go!! dev said hed take me on monday then go home and cook dinner for me. im not sure, but apparently he has something all planned out...we shall see...

super bowl - i saw it on a remote island in japan! how weird...sashank and i were bummed that we wouldnt get to see it but then we got off this boat and were supposed to go see another shinto temple, but instead there was a HUGE flat screen TV at the docking place, so we watched the fourth quarter. he was bummed but it was still fun...

jules - i cant wait to meet your kid :) she sounds just like you! and tell joe not to forget about the other roommate! just cause i was gone for a week doesnt mean he should forget me! :)

megan - your pay it forward idea is really cute :) and to better society, the check i sent to arjun and avinash was for 650! granted most was from other people, but 150 was from me...plus bank of america will match it 1:1 if they fill out their portion...

ok back to my boring emails...then ill blog more about the trip...

yeah!

anusha's back!!!

whoa this looks interesting!

i just got to my desk. japan was awesome!!! ill write more once i muddle through my emails and catch up on the blog...

oh woe a tangled web we weave . . .

i think you should do whatever you want, but i'm going to play devil's advocate for a moment.

you don't hang out with joe because a bunch of friends are up (does he know that some are guys? he should know that - even if its just a subtle way of saying 'we aren't necessarily exclusive') you are attracted and would be crazy about spikey if not for the distance/fatherhood hurdles. so - you talk and make eyes at one another and kiss a little. and it happens next weekend again when you go home. a month from now, you are officially dating joe - at this point, you now have a secret. you don't have an official "start" date of your romance, so you don't have a line that you cross between oh, when i kissed a boy that day it was ok, but the day after that it was 'cheating' if joe were to know, he'd be hurt.

so - i think what it boils down to is how much do you care about joe and how little do you care about spikey? what if spikey "thinks you have a boyfriend" - is that somehow ruining your big chance with him? does kissing him this weekend mean so much that not doing so would make you sad? is the potential for a guilty conscience about joe that little that its within the realm of acceptable risk? i don't mean to rain on your parade, but if you think you and joe are going to continue and get more serious - i don't think a make out session with spikey this weekend is called for. i also think joe would have no fun watching you and jackie flirt with strangers and make inside jokes he's not a part of - so leave him home.

my advice

sorry! i've been really bad about reading this blog.. i'm about to catch up with it, but here's my advice for jules....

r u p i e land: i think you shouldn't invite joe to hang out
r u p i e land: it's good you already told him that you are busy
r u p i e land: and i think it's fine to kiss spikey
smurf1015: hehe
r u p i e land: it's not like joe and you are serious
r u p i e land: yet.. :-)
smurf1015: i know, that's what jackie said
r u p i e land: i think there's no rules in the dating stage
smurf1015: oh geeze, it's going to be an entertaining weekend
r u p i e land: but if you hung out with both of them
r u p i e land: then spikey would think that joe is your boyfriend
r u p i e land: even though he isn't yet

happy wednesday!!!

slight dilemma

hi ladies. so rey (meg, he's our friend from miami, the guy i met spikey through) arrived last night with 2 friends to visit. i've known he was coming for a while, no big deal. we always have fun when he visits because he's a really good guest - he likes to take us out :)

anyways, when i found out that rey was coming a while ago, i mentioned it to spikey, kind of insinuating that he should come too, but spikey said he was going to chicago to visit his brother this weekend. ok, no big deal, i forgot all about it. yesterday, rey tells jackie that spikey's coming on friday, and he didn't say anything because he wanted to surprise me. that's cute and all, but what am i supposed to do with him and joe? joe's a really good guy - there's real potential there for the future, and i wouldn't want to screw things up (especially not for a guy that doesn't live in nyc and who has a son). on the other hand, i think spikey's just so much fun, and i was really looking forward to going home next weekend and hanging out with him. jackie says i shouldn't worry about it and i should just invite joe to hang out with us this weekend - spikey will understand, he knows we're not dating or anything. even before i knew spikey was coming, though, i had already told joe i would be kind of busy this weekend because i had a lot of friends in town (concetta, evelyn and her mom and little sis, rey and his friends), so joe was already ok with not seeing me this weekend.

sooo, i guess now all i have to do is figure out if i want to kiss/fool around with spikey this weekend without feeling guilty about joe. thoughts?

playing house

sucks.
he's into his busy schedule and i have to actually go to work in the morning - so, i don't get enough sleep because i stay up to see him. we don't sleep over that often because it would just mean him waking up early because he doesn't have a key or the alarm code to let himself out. so, generally he doesn't want to. i finally got 8 hours of sleep last night, it was really really hard to get out of bed this morning. i think i'm going to try to sleep in on saturday (that's my big goal because lately i wake up at 8:30am anyway and feel guilty about going back to sleep when i could be spending time with edgar)

that's really sad for julia. how surreal to be introduced to your new parents when your old one is still around. i'm assuming the dad is mia?

Girls

i am enjoying hanging out with joe - and not just because he's spoiling me. he's such a sweet guy, and he's really affectionate, too. i love that :)

it would kill peter if he finds out that i'm dating someone. i keep worrying about that. i guess the only way he'll ever find out is if jackie or i tell him - since he doesn't hang out with us or talk to me anymore - so i shouldn't worry about it, but still . . .

julia's mom has HIV, and julia doesn't know. the family center (the organization i'm volunteering through) is helping julia's mom now with 'future permanency planning', which means that in the next couple of weeks julia will be introduced to her future foster parents, so that she can begin to establish a relationship with them. sad, huh? i'm going to try to see her again this weekend since i'll be in miami the following weekend. if it's nice out maybe we'll just go to the park or something. or ice skating? she's never ice skated before and i'm kind of afraid that she'll hurt herself. . .

anyways, ms. megan, i will try to share the wealth whenever i go out and don't spend any money. i generally over-tip everyone as a rule, and i always try to give money at my church, too.

ok, i really need to get some work done. meg, how's playing house with edgar going?

the funny stuff that can be found on the internet

wonderful entertainment :)

i'm really excited for you with julia! what illness does her mom have? so - i'm volunteering at an animal shelter, jules is being a big buddy - what are rupa and anusha doing to better societ? :)

i'm glad you are enjoying getting spoiled by joe :) i hope you are enjoying it being joe as much as the being spoiled part. and i see nothing wrong with making use of the connections made during your time in nyc. its not like you are taking advantage of anyone or allowing them to spend their last dime on you when it was meant to go towards their sick baby's medicine. just remember what you are getting and "pay it forward" - it could be so cute! the morning after you go out with the guys and spend nothing on drinks, you should give the first homeless person you see money! and always (over)tip the guy you get coffee from in the morning! (think about it - he's saving you $2 or $3 by not going to starbucks - he'll still be saving you $1 or $2 if you give him a buck :) )

g'morning :)

i had an awesome weekend! the monday after super bowl sunday should definitely be a holiday, though. i'm exhausted! i guess a million beers and 4 tequila shots on a sunday night isn't a good idea. but we had to celebrate after joe won like $7500 bucks on last night's game. he's so cute! as soon as he found out he won, he looked at me and said "oh yea, i'm taking you somewhere nice next weekend." he's so awesome :)

friday night we went to an awesome restaurant in little italy. the food was great, we had a lot of fun. then we met up with jackie, chrisitan, evelyn, and deanna at marquee (this club that's supposed to be really hard to get into, but christian got a table and bottles, so it was all good). the club was nice and fun, although i don't think it's worth all the hype. apparently, janet jackson was there that night, but we didn't see her. anyways, we got home at like 4:30am or so. joe came up and we cuddled on the couch for a little. i was exhausted and half asleep, so then we moved to my bed and slept for a little bit. he went home at like 7am or so.

saturday i took my little buddy, julia, to the movies. it took me like an hour to get out to where she lives in brooklyn! i picked her up, we got pizza and then hung out at my apt for a little bit. then we went to see racing stripes. the movie was really cute, she liked it. then i took her back home. she was like a little chatterbox all day! it was nice to see her warming up to me. we're going to have a lot of fun :) her mom's really nice, too. it's hard for me to remember that her mom's sick. i prayed for them when i went to church yesterday. . .

saturday night we were all exhausted, so we just stayed in. it was nice to actually get like 10 hours of sleep! i was really productive on sunday. jackie and i went to church, then did a little bit of window shopping at a bunch of stores we can't afford. we went home and cleaned up a bit. then joe picked us up and we went to a bar to meet up with a bunch of his friends from work. one of the guys' brothers owned the bar we were at, so they basically just told us to sit down and order whatever we wanted. i think i'm getting spoiled - anytime i hang out with joe or jackie's work friends, we just order whatever we want without thinking about the price! i think i'm going to be saving a lot of money if i keep dating joe. . .anyways, we had beer and shots of patron (one of the guys is a big fan of tequila). got home at like midnight, then talked to joe while he drove home (i think he lives like 45 mins away in jersey), then passed out.

that was my weekend :) joe's such a cutie. he's trying to get us (me, him, and jackie) tickets to the miami heat/nets game. and he just told me that he has tickets to stomp. it's nice to actually be "dating" someone instead of just hanging out and hooking up. i could get used to this. . .

meg, was that enough entertainment for now?

no blogs yet?

ooooh . . . its monday.

well, then - i'll tell you about my weekend!
i was a lazy butt most of friday night until edgar got out of work - then i went with him to a bar where one of the chang's bartenders was celebrating a bday. i had 2 whole beers and stayed out until after 1! saturday - edgar and i went out to breakfast at this diner that is apparently a rochester legend. pretty good. then we went to the public market and walked around, then went back to my place and walked around in that neighborhood. he left, i was a big bum again. i went to the mall saturday night and bought a couple of plain shirts and earnings and two new pairs of shoes - yeah tax free week! slept at eun's saturday night . . . sunday morning, i went for training for dog walking at the shelter. boring, but good (i had to watch someone else walk a dog) then i got to go to the lab. durning one of my breaks, i read 100 years of solitude (almost finished!) but that made me depressed, so i picked edgar up during my next break and we got chai and hung out before i had to go back. he came with me, i finished my last step, and then we left together. then we went to bed bath and beyond where one of our friends is registered - since he's getting married in 2 weeks. random shopping, got some food and ate at eun's - i watched monk for the first time. then i went home!

i got my first real piece of art in the mail! its a print i ordered from a gallery in st. augustine while i was in florida! i'm in love with it - its kind of surreal and very bright :)

this week is stretching ahead of me. i should be planning today my game plan for the rest of the week, but i'm feeling less than motivated. maybe i need to try to go to sleep early tonight . . .

ok - everyone else's turn now :)

sorry meg

i feel like i've had A.D.D. all day today - it's been impossible for me to focus on anthing! i went out with jackie and a couple of guys from her work last night and got pretty wasted. rupa, erica and radie (my office mates), and a bunch of other work people went out also, so everyone's been a little wired and wacky today. i love days like this :) now i jsut need to send out an email in the next 20 minutes, and then i'm heading out :) i want to go to they gym early, then go home and get ready for my date with joe. we're going out to dinner in little italy (he's italian, so i'm sure we'll go to a great restaurant), then we're meeting up with jackie, evelyn and her girlfriend at my place and we'll all go out and party from there.

i have a date with my little buddy tomorrow! i think i'm going to take her to see racing stripes, the movie where a zebra tries to race with horses or something. i'm not sure exactly what it's about, but it looked cute.

and then sunday i think we're watching the super bowl with hamptons boys (joey, john, matthias, and brad). all in all, seems like it should be a fun weekend :)

more hand washing ahead

julie? where have you gone?

rupa? where is the hangover story???

oh, the disappointment!

stupid washer!

we have a machine that automatically washed the "plates" we do our experiments on - they have 96 little wells that can hold 300 microliters each and the machine takes like 30 seconds to wash the plate 3 times. by hand, you need to go through and fill the plate row by row (8rows) and then suction it up - it takes a lot longer. well, the machine is tempermental and didn't like my plate so i had to wash my two experiments by hand.

AND i just got the infant blood that i am going to use for the next experiment (the one that i do the second half of on sunday) - yeah, only about half a milliliter of blood. THIS DAY IS CURSED!

me here too

but tired and hungover.. so i need a lil rampup time before i can blog. i'll check in again soon.

it's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm here!

and i will be all day . . . with reasonable amounts of time to blog . . . so - bring on the stories!

you're leaving me :(

fine, i guess i won't be so bummed when you're working on sunday while i'm watching the suber bowl ;)

not so fun when the tables are reversed!

i've been here since 8am - but i was TOO BUSY! ha!
and now i'm going to clean up and go home because i just found out i have to spend my sunday in the lab.

fan-frickin-tastic.

dude

i'm not getting any love from anyone today :(

good morning girls!

dude, we're really not that interesting without anusha around, huh?

it's finally thursday! which means the weekend is almost here :) i've been looking forward to this wekeend since monday! evelyn and her girlfriend, deanna, will be here for the weekend, so i'm excited about that. jackie's michigan guy, christian, will be in town also, so i think we'll be partying with him at some point. and i think joe is hanging out with us friday night, so i'm looking forward to that too. he's such a cutie :)

as for tonight, i just want to go to the gym after work, then go home and get some sleep. i dont' know why i've been so sleepy lately, but that's all i feel like doing. oh yea, and did you guys know i'm going home in 2 weeks??? can't wait to get some sun. . .

i'm staying with gabe!

i confirmed with him today that jackie, evelyn, and i would be staying with him. i'm excited too!

mari warned me today that i might be receiving another email from peter, although she was going to try to talk him out of it. apparently, he doesn't think he's going to be able to be friends with me, and he's convinced that i met someone in miami when i was home for the holidays, so that's the reason i don't want to be with him. argh! how do i get myself into these situations??

on a happier note, i'm going ice skating today with jackie, paul, and joey (paul's roommate). that should be fun :)

staying with koo

i emailed koo about staying with her and she said of course! ann might actually have moved out by that point, so edgar and i might get our own room :)

i'm SO excited for boston!!!!

julie koo

i just emailed koo about edgar and i staying with her.
i filled the email with lots of please say no if your are at all uncomfortable - hopefully she won't think its rude that i asked.

rupa's busy, i know . .
but jules, give me something! although i actually have a little to do today (this mornign was reasonably productive) so i'm not as hard up as yesterday :)

i was here until almost 7 yesterday

helping eun copy her grant.
that's right, i get paid the big bucks to use the copy machine.
eun flies out today at 5 for over 2 weeks in spain - i will only be able to contact her via email. the super fun thing? i'm taking care of her cats again - and she practically begged me to "make use of her house" as in, sleep over through some parties - the whole deal. so i get to play house with edgar! not everyday, because there is no way he'll get up with me every morning when i go to work and i am not going to make him a copy of the key or give him the alarm codes - but i think i have him talked into doing it tonight, and on weekends :)

g'morning!

i'm here - sleepy and tired like always, and procrastinating because i don't want to do any of the work i have to do. blah. . .

what's new with everyone??

hello!!!

just wanted to say good morning. i have another crazy day.. so i won't be blogging much.. but wanted to say hi!!

hi!!!

the reason for my omition

he hasn't told me . . . yet (don't worry, i'll get all dirt out of him . . . and then grow bored and move on to someone else . . . hmm . . . seems like a familiar pattern . . .)

so is he still dating her?

and is he living in boston? i don't think you answered my question. . .

jackie knows it's not really fair what she's doing with paul, although she's been very clear with him, telling him multiple times that she doesn't want to date him and all, and he's just very persistent.

and why are you feeling sorry for joe! i'm not that horrible of a person, am i? i'll stop flirting with other boys if things start getting serious. he looked so cute yesterday :)

i talked to spikey for a little bit today, he's such a cutie! rupa and nush - you guys got upgraded to the empress level, so your room is next to his. jackie, mari, and i didn't get upgraded since we needed a room for 3 people, although i called him today to cancel mari's reservation (she decided she couldn't afford it), so if another room opens up on the empress level then we'll get moved up there, too. i can't wait for the cruise! although i should prob stop drinking so much and keep pushing my ass out to the gym . . .

windy in the windy city

yeah, her name is windy - she went to school in chicago (the windy city) i think i was the only one that found that quite so amusing.

doesn't jackie feel a little wrong "letting" him kiss/cuddle with her when she's lonely - does this guy REALLY like her? does he know she is only into someone stroking her ego when the guy she really likes shoots her down?

and you aren't kissing joey - just cuddling :) poor joe, he has no idea what he's getting into . . .

is he still dating that girl?

what was her name again? windy? and is he still in boston? what's he doing with his life? think he wants to work at d. e. shaw??? he was a smart guy. i could get a referral bonus for him. . .

they are just buddies. they've kissed a couple of times. he's madly in love with her. she likes spending time with him, but doesn't want to date anyone that works on the floor with her. she lets him kiss/cuddle with her whenever she's feeling lonely, though.

and i don't kiss joey! i guess we were on the couch and he had his arm around me, but nothing happened!

just in case you were concerned

juancho isn't married.

is jackie dating paul? are they hooking up? give me a general category in which i can place their relationship - i thought they were just buddies.

and about not kissing and cuddling with other boys - what about joeY?

here i come to save the day. . .

ok, not the day, maybe it's more like 5 minutes. sorry meg, with anusha being gone and rupa being busy, i don't know if i'll be able to bear the burden of entertaining you. . .

i don't know if joe knows that i like to kiss and cuddle with other boys, and exclusivity has definitely not been talked about. but seriously, though, i haven't been kissing any other boys lately anyways. unless spikey comes to visit unexpectedly, i don't think joe has anything to worry about.

last night was fun. i called the place where we were supposed to go salsa dancing and found out that the lessons had been postponed to friday this week, so no dancing for us. joe and paul had already planned to hang out with me and jackie, so the 4 of us went to a cuban restaurant for dinner instead. we had a fun double-date. then we went back to our place. joe had to leave to catch a train back to jersey, so i walked him downstairs and we smooched :) then jackie, paul, and i cracked open another bottle of vodka and hung out. one of my office mates, erica, was supposed to go salsa dancing with us. since that got cancelled, she had dinner close to our apt and then came over with another friend of hers, hannah. jackie and paul went to hang out in her room, and erica, hannah and i stayed up till i don't remember what time talking and finishing the bottle of vodka. it was a nice monday night :)

gabe just bought our tickets for the juanes concert in boston (for me, jackie, evelyn, and francis - evelyn's friend). i'm looking forward to that weekend :)
