2006-03-19 The current mood of meredithelaine at www.imood.com

so i'm overdue for a photopost, i suppose.

aka...FILLER! i don't know, do people even find these REMOTELY interesting? or should i just stick to writing my sometimes-depressive, introspective crap?

well, on with the fluffy filler anyway!

i've been a whirlwind lately, traveling hither and yon as part of the NOTORIOUS M.E.R. Farewell Tour 2k6. last weekend, it was for Parade Day in Scranton, and this weekend it was for nicole's birthday on long island.

as i mentioned, glenna and i were late getting to the parade, so we didn't get all the pictures we wanted -- like the float that is the dragon made out of a construction crane. but this one was pretty nice. we were actually quite impressed by the floats this year.

it was a whale of a good time! HA!


we were also disappointed to not have gotten to see Miss Buck this year. every year, one of the local high schools chooses their head cheerleader to be "Miss Buck" (their team is the Bucks, you see...) -- and she gets to dress up in this silver lame', sequinned get-up with antlers made of tinfoil and carry a gun around. so we had to settle for Miss VikingSwordWielding Girl this year:

this would be glenna and i -- after a few beers, and no breakfast.

and THIS is what the current students of the university of scranton were up to:

it's hard to tell in the picture, because it's so small, but the house a little ways back up the road is MOBBED. we were in awe, because, i mean, we partied, don't get me wrong...but this was impressive. the sheer volume of kids all over the place, overflowing out of the house, on the rooves and coming out the windows! yeah, i never went on any rooves as far as i remember. but pretty much EVERY house was going on Parade Day.

a time-honored tradition: when you are coming back up the hill from, say, Tinks or Farley's, you most likely have to pee. so you stop in the Library, more specifically, the bathrooms in the Pro-Deo Room. you can't make it all the way back with out doing a Pro-Deo Pee (and email check).

as always, we ended the day at Stirna's, a local "townie" bar in North Scranton. glenna's mom grew up in scranton, so we do Parade Day differently than most alumni, i'm guessing. since we have ties to the locals, we kick it hometown-style.

i have a feeling i'm going to be flying back to the east coast for Parade Day in the future...

nicole's birthday was a BLAST. a couple of us started the night going out for Thai. i got pad thai...yummmm. which was so good that i craved it on the drive home to NJ, and actually picked some up and had it for dinner AGAIN tonight!

this would be nicole and i in the limo on the way to the club. oh yes, i said limo. let me tell you -- the girl rides in STYLE! there were 9 of us in all. and nicole's friends are SO nice. hysterically funny, too. i swear, i'm getting over my social-phobias, in terms of meeting my friends' other friends. i'm getting much better at it, i think. but yeah, aren't nicole and i so CUTE???

this is nicole's friend kim and i, bustin' a move. i just love how this came out, all blurry and swirly.

oh! well, hello there!

i honestly didn't take THAT many pictures at nicole's party, because i was too busy dancing on a cube. yeah. me shakin' my ass on a cube like a big ol' dork. nicole's friend pete kept calling me "Jersey" -- which i actually like as a nickname, i think. i know nicole's got some QUALITY pictures of me on the cube, and also of the GottiboyWannaBe who hit on me towards the end of the night. *cough* yeah. hit on me because the other girl nearby that he was talking to wouldn't talk to him. *rolls eyes* but he told me that we were like romeo and juliet -- since i'm moving to san diego and we'd never see each other again -- we'll just NEVER KNOW what could have been...he used words like star-crossed. no kidding. and then he said that i should bring all my friends to his house for a barbeque -- at 5am.

OMGLOLWTFBBQ, indeed.

this club was almost frightening with the amount of boys with more hairproducts in their hair than me. AND a lot of them were wearing dark suits and ....hovering. and at one point, they just stopped the dancing and had a FASHION SHOW. WHAT?!?!?! it was so bizarre. and the girls weren't even pretty. they were stil skinny enough to give me bad self-esteem for the rest of the night, but pretty? not so much.

but honestly, it was SUCH a fun night. i haven't been out dancing in a long time, so this was just great for me. my body ACHES today. my mouth is cottony and i'm feeling kinda off. not badly hungover, just enough to be OFF. but 1 billion percent worth it.
