forever

This is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard...:-)

Forever
Ben Harper

Not talkin' 'bout a year
No not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do From you

People spend so much time
Every single day
Runnin' 'round all over town
Givin' their forever away
But no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

Like a handless clock with numbers
An infinite of time
No not the forever found
Only in the mind
Forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

hmmm.... :-)

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less.
Ask me anything you want.
Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

I am an open book...HAVE FUN!

so...it's been a while

gimpy814@aol.com — Thu, 15 Apr 2004 01:58:27 GMT

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted in this....my life is completely different than it was the last time I posted here.

First off, my father is a horrible, bad person. why? because he left us...oh well. For those of you who know me well, you know that I never got along with him all that well anyway. I still can't believe he did this though. I never thought he would be such a coward. oh well..

On to happier moments.... I am GRADUATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY....finally!!!!!!! I am going to be the proud recipient of a college degree on May 23rd. I am currently on a massive job hunt...hopefully I can become a Resident Director at a college, because I love being an RA at Framingham State....any way, that is all for now....

Leave some love!!!!! :-)

25% geek huh...not surprising at all

gimpy814@aol.com — Sat, 25 Oct 2003 23:04:18 GMT

</td><td valign="top">OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.</td></tr>

You are 25% geek

gimpy814@aol.com — Fri, 12 Sep 2003 14:23:22 GMT

Hey everyone who reads this....Yes I know it has been awhile since I updated my journal...my computer access at home is not so good...so what's been going on with me...hmmm

Well, I am officially an RA!!! YAY!!!! I have been extremely busy with that...we had 2 weeks of training before school started, and then just getting adjusted to being back in school took me a few days.

School is going good. I'm very busy. I have 5 classes this semester instead of four, because I am a TA for one of my professors. But I'm having fun...so far.

And, I miss all my friends at home!!! I'll visit, I promise!!

Anyway...I think thats it..for now!! :-)

An Adventure of sorts......

gimpy814@aol.com — Wed, 14 May 2003 03:29:27 GMT

So....I had quite an adventure with my best friend Janine tonight. We decided to go to Boston together...good idea, right?? Yeah, not when she is driving and I am giving directions. We met at the Natick Mall, and had lunch and left the Natick Mall at 3pm...(Keep note of the time..its important)...Anyway, we get on Rte. 9 and start driving...all we want to do is go to the Prudential Center and maybe FAO Shwartz. Well, we got kinda screwed up and to make a long driving story short...we did not actually get inside the Pru until 5pm!!! But, on a happy note...we saw pretty much all of Boston on our trek. And...well,...we kinda almost killed someone. We had our blinker on to take a right into the parking lot, after we finally found our way and a guy on a bike was in Janine's blind spot on the passenger side, and we almost hit him when we were turning...he was not happy about that to say the least, and Janine is yelling at him for getting in her way...Quite an adventure. We were so relieved and happy by the time we got into the mall, we had a blast together while we were there. So...that was my evening.

I'm an exciting little monkey, aren't I...

A Bad day that turned into a good day!!!

gimpy814@aol.com — Wed, 07 May 2003 21:28:11 GMT

So....here is how I started out my day today....with the fire alarm going off at 3:30 this morning!!!!!!!!! UGHH!!!! Twice in two days. Apparantly someone decided to make popcorn and burned it to the point of setting off the fire alarm. I think there should be a rule about cooking food late at night, so things like that don't happen....Anyway, I didn't get back to bed til after 4:30, and I had an 8:30 am powerpoint presentation for my research methods in psych class. I think it went pretty well though, despite my lack of productive sleep.

Anyway.....now for my good day news

I got hired to be an ra next year!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! When I originally applied, I got put on a wait list. I got a call today saying they have a position for me. I am going to be in O'Conner which is one of the girls only dorms on the Framingham State campus. I'm so happy!!! I can't wait to get started. Hopefully next year will be a great year.

Anyway....thats all of my news for the day...so far.

:-)

Ok...so I hurt myself...

gimpy814@aol.com — Wed, 07 May 2003 03:56:19 GMT

I have got to be the biggest klutz in the entire world. How I am still walking is beyond me!!!!
Yeah...so I left my friends dorm room tonight and walked across the street to go back to my dorm room, when I realized that I left my keys in her room. So I turned around to go back and get my keys, tripped on the sidewalk and fell down. I hurt my knee, my elbow and my little finger :-(....AND these two girls out there smoking had to hold in their laughter while asking me if I was ok. So now...my knee AND my pride is hurt. Oh well, I managed to laugh it off and now it will probably be my funny story for the week.

I'm a funny little monkey aren't I...

Anyway...time for bed...big presentation tomorrow...very nervous...wish me luck!!!!

sad, sad, sad

gimpy814@aol.com — Tue, 06 May 2003 04:32:19 GMT

I just found out tonight that my absolute favorite manager from my store at home left last week. He moved back home because his wife hated it out here. I am so sad, because he left of course, but also because I never got a chance to say goodbye to him. I realize that things change and nothing can ever stay the same, but i don't have to like change right?? Right?? Well, I hope he has fun at his new store. The workers there are very lucky to have a manager like him. I'm going to go wallow in my sadness now.

Yeah, I am!!!!!

The Eighties.

Which Decade Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I swear...I was born 10 years too late....I would have been a bad assed teen in the 80's!!!

damn fire alarms!!!

gimpy814@aol.com — Fri, 02 May 2003 04:37:27 GMT

Yeah, so I was asleep, until some drunken idiot in my dorm decided that it would be fun to pull the fire alarm. So, I got woken up out of a sound sleep to go stand outside for a half an hour. I swear, next time this happens, there better be a fire somewhere. This happens way too much!! I thought we were all supposed to be adults, but I guess not!! Anyway, time for me to try to go to bed, hope all of you had a good night!!!

Now this is an awesome website!!!!

gimpy814@aol.com — Mon, 28 Apr 2003 21:28:22 GMT

Dumb Warnings

Now, this is a great website....it basically tells all the stupid laws that states still have on record...for example:

In Newton, MA: All families must be given a hog from the town's mayor.

In Boston, MA: It is illegal to play the fiddle.
No one may cross the Boston Common without carrying a shotgun in case of bears.
Duels to the death permitted on the common on Sundays provided that the Governor is present.

Oh...and goatees are illegal in Mass. if you don't have a special liscence to have one in public.

This is only the beginning...it has laws for every state, plus dumb warnings from the stuff you buy.

Yup, I dig it...

Yeah...so I was bored....

A Boy Named Sue

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Yep...I dig it!! Wicked funny song!! Thought I would share.

A Good Day!!

gimpy814@aol.com — Sat, 19 Apr 2003 01:51:07 GMT

So...I woke up at noon today. I did have classes from 10:30-12:30...my alarm didn't wake me up though! Uh oh...oh well, nothing I can do about it now. So after I woke up, I called my mom and convinced her to come out here and visit me. She came out with one of my neighbors, who I love!! She is so awesome, and I had a fabulous time with both of them. I'm so glad they came out to see me. I can't wait to be home for the summer. This semester can't end soon enough at this point. But today was a very good day!! I love my mom!!

Vaginas Rule!!!!

gimpy814@aol.com — Fri, 18 Apr 2003 03:28:59 GMT

So, my school gave a presentation of the Vagina Monologues...Girls who don't normally act came up and performed some of the stories from the Broadway show. It was amazing!!!! The stories ranged from a woman's right to wear a short skirt, to moans, to the horrors of tampons...Some stories were funny, some were sad, it was all wonderful though!!! It was powerful and scary and empowering and just awesome!! I recommend everyone go see it as soon as possible. The best part of the show was seeing the crowd react when they related to something being said onstage...which happened a lot. Even the men of the audience seemed to enjoy it. All in all, it was a wonderful evening. I am so glad I went to see it!!

I LOVE SPRING!!!

gimpy814@aol.com — Wed, 16 Apr 2003 17:24:19 GMT

Wow, it's beautiful out!! I love hot weather. And...lucky me...my afternoon class got cancelled today, so I can enjoy the weather. As soon as one of my friends gets out of class, we are going to go sit outside. Then tonight I get to go watch the FSC lacrosse team play. YAY!!!!! I hope all of you are enjoying the weather as much as I am!!
