not much going on as of late, but figured i'd update.
had my wisdom teeth out last week. overall not an awful experience, but not necessarily pleasurable either.
this past thursday went to the Museum of Fine Arts in boston with sasha and shani to see the Ansel Adams photo exhibit and take in some culture. had a great time. it was nice to get out and do something of interest and see shani.
friday sash and i went shopping and i got new underwear, which is always a plus. then we went to the movies and saw "Stay" with Ewan McGregor and ryan gosling. it was a really amazing movie, although confusing and what not at many points, i think we hammered out what happened. went to stop and shop and got some pumpkin ice cream and the night was all set.
saturday it snowed, so that was neat. jon came over and we got chinese. sash, jon and i had an amityville fest and ate candy and had a mini halloween party, mini meaning just us three. haha.
today aj came up, he was in providence and took the bus up. the four of us went out for breakfast and then watched movies for a bit and had warm apple cider before jon went home and aj headed back.
now i'm super sleepy and need to go to bed so i can go to work early tomorrow to get extra hours to make the cash. we're having a potluck halloween party and i'm pretty excited for treats. i'm bringing the apple cider.
so thats all in the life of jess pye for now. gnite. |

i have the "i dont want to do any of my homework" blues.
i decided grad school was a good idea why?
right. |

[Sep. 14th, 2005|02:20 pm] |
i realized that i havent posted in a while, since i have been internet-less since my move to quincy. oh well.
so internet and cable, finally this friday. the last 2 weeks have been, interesting. the apartment for the most part is cool, the train is a little loud but i'm getting used to it. i accidentally didnt pack part of the futon, so our living room looks less than stellar, with the frame and mattress kinda just sitting around, but i'll fix that this weekend after i go home.
for the most part, we've just been really bored, watching a lot of dvd box sets. i only go to class two nights a week, so that leaves a lot of time besides doing homework to just sit around. i got a job via a temp agency doing customer service for some company and i start monday, making $12/hr. hooray! cable and internet is coming on friday. hooray!
quincy is a weird place. a lot of bizarre things have happend to us since we moved here and overall, a lot of the people seem to be stuck in another time or another dimension.
school is ok. i dont know how i feel about umass boston or my major just yet. my two classes are alright thus far. it sucks because you have to pay to park, $6 a day, and you have to pay to print in the library unless you are a grad student. i am a grad student, but you need a umass email account which takes a request form and a week and its really annoying. i feel like my major is heading to the non practical realm, and i had a fit thinking that they are teaching us to be intellegent and scholarly just to be intellegent and scholarly. oh well, we shall see how it goes.
well, i'm off.
just an update, that we're making it in quincy. |

| my next post will most likely be from quincy, ma |

i feel like i never update anymore, and why should i, everything is just blah.
first: a story for lisa to appreciate.
i went to kauffman's (the same thing as filene's but here they call it kauffmans, no idea why) and they had a summer shoe clearance, and i got this cute little pair of green steve madden flats for $14 marked down from $70!!! they hurt my feet the first night i wore them out, but they will break in and i dont care, i love them.
second: my mom's right
boys are stupid. i cant stand it. nothing in my life is more frustrating then the men i am surrounded by. and i cant escape it. i'm annoyed at home by steven, at work by all the old horndog perv bastards that call me "babydoll" and "sweetheart" and ask me if i have tattoos. then there's my father, the man that occasionally waltzes in and out of my life. never really doing what he says he will. and then, well, then there's a certain so and so, that really drives me crazy. but i wont get into that.
third: the move
well, in 10 days i'm headed to quincy. to start grad school. i have no job to pay for my apartment. i have no idea why spending all this money on grad school is a good idea. i have no idea what kinda a job i might ever end up with. i have no idea how i'll pay off all the debt i am accumulating. i dont know how to get a job besides all the ones i have applied for. i dont know how i will work full time (hopefully) and do well in school. i dont know how i feel about the fact taht i wont be coming home for a month at christmas and the summer. i dotn know how i feel about not cuddling with harold and fatty during those times. i dont know about any of that. maybe i'm just being silly, but as of this exact moment, maybe my mom was right about all of this too.
i guess thats all for now. ive gotten myself all riled up and i wont be able to sleep, for the 6th night in a row.
bon soir. |

geez. i cant really seem to get a grip on things lately.
well, last weekend was great. spent the time down on the jersey shore with jon, roger, jerry, aj, matt and joel. had lots of fun and did lots of fun stuff. it was great seeing everyone again. it was jons bday and i hope he enjoyed it.
on wednesday before i came back, i looked at an apt in quincy and sasha and i took it. its still pricey, but not as pricy as living in somerville or medford or brighton or allston, and its a cute place with lots of features we think are nifty. so i hope everything works out. i'm pretty excited/apprehensive about it.
since i came home ive been working and not much else really going on. been reading a lot of romance novels even though i know i probably shouldnt. especially since they all have the same lame plot anyway...but somehow, i find them enjoyable.
talked to my dad tonight. he returned from his trip to france. trip to france you say? oh, you remember...the one he and diane were going on with some family of mine i wasnt invited to go on...the one that when he and diane broke up and she wasnt going i wasnt given the ticket for a graduation present...and oh yeah, the one where a bunch of my old high school track buddies who i havent seen in ages meet up with my cousin who is stationed in iraq who was able to get a weekend of leave off to meet up with everyone..oh yeah, that trip to france! me...bitter? why would i be bitter? hmm...let me think. oh yeah! ive been wanting to go to france since the age of 11...my dad didnt get me a graduation present...my dad has little appreciation for anyone besides stubborn republicans. alright. next topic.
i'm also beginning to get annoyed with steven living here. i mean, it really hasnt been that bad. but the thing that sucks is if i wake up in the morning to pee, i cant, because his in the bathroom. the dogs wake me up to go out because he ignores them. and it seems like whenever i wake up and want something specific for breakfast...its already eaten. like today, the english muffins were gone. so i figured i would settle for toast. i get done toasting and i realize all the butter is gone and i have to get a new stick from the fridge and its all hard and wont spread. this also happend with the honey nut cheerios. and i my mom makes comments about me sleeping in, but i cant do anything productive like search for jobs online or call people in the morning because he's using the computer so whats the point.
arg. i think i'm going crazy and ranting. i should just go read my romance novels.
sigh. |

| Your Virgo Drinking Style |
 Hey brainiac, you are compelled to impose order onto your bender.
Your famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure...
But it could also lead to drinking booze neatly (like sucking down organic wine or having extreme brand loyalty).
You rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when you do!
Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the subgenius IQ! | | Your Signature Cocktails | | Many Virgos prefer clear, simple, untreacly drinks like vodka tonic or a real margarita, though you can be found drinking anything from unflinchingly downing Cuervo straight to smirkingly ordering a dirty virgin. You also tend to like bitter, low-alk guzzles like Campari and soda. However, you rarely change your signature drink once you've found it. | | Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies | | Cameron Diaz, Hugh Grant, Keanu Reeves, Nicole Richie, Bill Murray, Jada Pinkett Smith, Adam Sandler, and Ricki Lake. |

so i read a romance novel this week. and i just picked up two more at the library. i think i need an intervention.
i decided i really like these m&m commercials with the iron and wine version of "such great heights" because they have this kaliedoscope effect and the song is nice and i like m&ms and the overall just make me happy.
ive been really lazy as of late and i'm trying to shake that but i've been lazy at that too.
i saw this red sox bikini today in this store that sells baseball memorobilia, and i wanted to get it, just to see what jon drew would say, but it was $60, and if i had that kinda of money, i'd probably put it towards bills or saving for the move. oh well. it would have been cute though. maybe at the end of summer it will go on sale.
thats it for now i guess.
see, i'm too lazy to write anything else.
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! |

went away for this past weekend/5 days to see jon. it was quite enjoyable. saw some people, went and did some fun things, spent a good amount of time smiling. sunday especially was lots of fun, we did lots of stuff, a flea market, some wolves, lunch at the beach with joel, saw land of the dead. all in all, the whole time was pretty great, and it really made me feel a lot better, as i had been missing him an insane amount as of late.
other than that nothing new. no real plans for the "holiday" weekend, so i think i'll try to stay by the pool and that nonsense. perhaps buy a new bikini, as this is the time of year to look for sales.
i'm actually kinda tired, i do believe i'll go watch tv.
bonne soir. |

[Jun. 21st, 2005|12:16 am] |
all this thinking about death made me forget about birth.
and by that i mean, renee had her baby.
little nick is the cutest thing in the world. 6lbs, 6.5ozs, and just adorable. i'm so happy for renee and nick, they seem so happy.
sigh.
and on another note.
i'm so annoyed with so many things i could scream. |

well. here we are. another friend of mine died a tragic death, bringing the toll of people i've known who have died tragic deaths recently to well, pretty high.
i feel really bad because i saw jason last week at the pizza place in town, where he worked, and didnt spend much time talking to him because i had to get home with the pizza. i mean, i didnt figure that a week later he would be dead. i spent the majority of my eight grade year in a lip lock with him, and he and i gave each other relationship advice in all our relationships after we broke up. lots of good times together. really sweet kid. probably one of the nicest boys on the face of the earth.
so thats upstate new york. |

its is beyond hot in this house.
i went to the library today to get a new book today. i thought about getting a romance novel, but after reading the notebook this past week and seeing how bad it made me feel, i decided its not in my personal best interests to read one. so i got other books instead. i also rented "i heart huckabees" to watch. the library actually has some pretty good dvds and they are only $1 for 2 nights, so thats cool.
then i went to some garage sales but its so friggen hot i said screw it and went home.
then i went to renee's moms house to swim with renee. she's still waiting for little nicky to pop out. it must be pretty awful being so pregnant in this heat.
my mom has been drinking this week, which is sort of annoying to me. my mom doesnt really drink that much anymore, which is good, because i really cant stand to be around her when she does. she always is mad at someone and has to be vindictive and start an argument with them. i mean, its generally not me, so i shouldnt care, but i just wish she wouldnt get that way, its kinda uncomfortable.
maybe the heat is making us all go a little crazy.
its been hard on steven, the heat. i was worried about him today, but he seems to be feeling better.
and dad, well, who knows whats up with my father. he's moved out of diane's and there's still problems with that so we'll see how it shapes up. i dont understand my dad all the time thats for sure. but i dont want to get into that.
and then there's me. i got upset tonight, and maybe i shouldnt have or maybe it was ok, i dont know, i guess i'll have to think about it. i hate getting upset, especially if, like now, after i over analize it and wonder if getting upset was the right thing and then i feel worse on myself then i did when i was upset. does that even make sense what i just said? so it looks like tonight i'll find myself writting another letter that i probably wont send.
goal for monday - start to apply for real jobs in boston. get my umass papers squared away. accept the fact that i am going to school, its what i want, and being that much in debt is acceptable and i'm not the only moron doing it.
bleh.
i need a vacation from my summer vacation. i need to get away. |

i dont remember the last time i updated or what it was about, so if i double up on anything my apologies. i'm just too damn lazy to look at my last entry before i update.
so i've been home now for i guess almost 3 weeks. besides the bar no job. went to the temp agency, and after the man asked me if i would work for $6/hour (which, i found out, as of january 1st is new york's minimum wage!) and i said no, i was kinda like whatever. so they call me a week later telling me they have a possible placement and i'm all excited because i need a job. the lady offers me a job at Saranac Thursdays at the utica brewery, which i decline because thats one of the nights i work at the bar and the bar pays a bit better. so the lady then proceeds to ask me if i know anyone that might want to take the job. i was so furious. i mean, isnt it their job to find people to fill positions. i'm not the one who gets paid if people take that job, so why would i or should i refer someone or find someone for them? i thought that was beyond unprofessional. and then, to know that they asked me to work for minimum wage just really annoyed the crap out of me. i mean, i did just graduate from college didnt i? i'm not expecting a lot of money, but most high schoolers at mcdonalds get paid slightly above minimum wage to start.
other than that, nothing exciting to note. been reading a lot. read catcher in the rye and amityville horror already. started the notebook today, got about 50 pages in and have come to the conclusion that i think the writing is shitty and cheap in it and that having seen the movie i dont think the book is as good as the movie (and how often do you make a statement like that?) i'm going to read it anyway just to read it, but at least i only paid 35cents for it at the salvation army.
ive been getting a lot of headahes lately i'm not really sure what thats about.
i think i need a cup of tea.
toodles. |

went to the salvation army today to donate some stuff, and it was college tuesdays so i got a get up kids shirt and the notebook paperback for $2.11. i feel overall it was a successful trip.
working tomorrow night, thursday night, friday night, and saturday afternoon at the bar to try and make a little $. i think tomorrow i am going to go pick up amityville from the library and try and apply or inquire about some more jobs.
hmmm...i guess thats it.
