| 12/30/04 - [2:00am] I've neglected this site for too long, expect more updates to come. 07/06/03 - [11:30pm] OMFG I cannot believe its been 5 months since I've updated this thing. Egads!!!! I really have turned into a slacker. Ha. Oh well. Nothing much is new around here, other than my sister graduated from high school and will be going to Ole Miss in a month. How time flies. Also, my friend Allison got married? Yeesh. And I was looking through my old high school news letter the other day, and found out that 3 other people I know also got married, & one of my friends (Caroline) graduated a year early form Vanderbilt. Woah. There are just so many changes going on, yet still, here I sit, the same person I was 3 years ago, in the same contemplative cynical state. Hmph. Oh well. Maybe one of these days I will actually get my lazy ass in gear. Haha. Until then, cheers to procrastination! *erin* Well, I've been good for way too long, found my red dress, now I'm gonna put it on. Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition. Need a little bit more of my 12 ounce nutrition. One more helping of what I've been having, and I'm taking my turn on the sin wagon!!! - The Dixie Chicks 02/22/03 - [4:00pm] Wow how time flies. Can't believe it's already February 03!!!! Gah. I was chatting with some guy who lives in my apartment building today, and after awhile, I was like, "so what year are you?" and he said Freshman. The dude was only 17 even though he looked my age!! Good lord I felt so old. Hmph. 22 is gonna suck lol. But yeah, sorry for negecting the site again (eh like anyone even reads this blather anyway). Nothing exciting has happened in Tiger Town lately though. I've been trying to pull myself out of this slump & bring my grades up. Yes procrastination is so so evil. But the good thing is I got an A on my first Ethics paper! Woot!!!!!! Should try the studying thing more often, instead of watching soap operas all the time. Hmmm. I did finally make a return to fitness. My sorority has started a thing called 'work out Wednesdays' in which we meet every afternoon & run around the Kwanis track (we ran 4 miles this week, which is cool). :) Ran into Sean last week at the gas station. :6 Ironically enough, its happened before (last year). Why only at gas stations I have no idea (maybe because its near our neighborhood?). Wierd. But we had a nice chat and then went to lunch. He thanked me for getting him a job. Yes I actually got him a nice job at Augusta Country Club (well I had Dad make some calls but you get the idea). Man I'm definately too nice. Oh well, I am just so happy that Spring is on the way, &, Winter is finally OVER. Cheers to warm weather, good friends, & being curse free. *erin* I feel stupid but its something that comes and goes. I've been changin, think its funny how no one knows. We don't talk about, the little things that we do without when that whole mad season comes around. -Matchbox 20 12/30/02- [4:00pm] Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to everyone! Sorry for the lack of update-age, but I really don't have much to say & things have been hectic. I did add a few new pictures though. I'll be back later w/ another update. *erin* I'm looking for a place, I'm searcing for a face, is anybody here I know? Cause nothins going right, and everythings a mess, and no one wants to be alone. It's a damn cold night, tryin to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand, please take me somewhere new. -Avril Lavigne 12/13/02- [4:00pm] Whoo hoo! Exhausted but done with finals! Oh yeah! I could just dance right now. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance & when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance! -Leann Womak 12/03/02- [2:00pm] Well, Thanksgiving break was wonderful, but, now it's back to the impending doom of final exams. Yuck. In addition, our apartment got robbed over the vacation. Playstation 2, 45 DVDs, & a case of Kamikazes from the refrigerator were taken. Great huh? The police say we'll probably never know who did it. Argh! So yeah, December is definately the month of the curse. I'm in a bad mood right now. Grr. *erin* Nothings worse than the infamous curse. 11/17/02- [5:30pm] UGA defeated Auburn in the last friggin 40 seconds of the game. Damn the Gators & the Bulldogs. Both those games were in the bag, but then we let them slip through our fingers. I am pissed. That is all. *erin* War Eagle fly down the field. Ever to conquer never to yield. Go go go! On to victory, strike up the band. Give em hell, give em hell, stand up and yell! War Eagle root for Auburn, the power of Dixie Land! 11/05/02- [5:10pm] Holy hell. I have a whole new appreciation for my apartment & a warm bed now, after sleeping out-side in the friggin 30 degree wilderness at a camp this weekend. Yeah, it was the sorority's (Omega Phi Alpha) pledge retreat in LaGrange GA and oh was it ever cold. We were told we'd be staying in an insulated cabin with bunk beds but upon arrival, found only a non-insulated / screened cabin with no beds. Great huh? We were forced to sleep in flimsy outdoor tents instead. Oh jeez, I've never been so cold in my life. I literally turned blue!! Saturday afternoon was good, since the sun was out, but by the end of the weekend, 5 girls were deathly ill from exposure (like convulsing & throwing up), and 3 had to be taken to the hospital. Not good. Sunday I immediately took a hot shower & was greatful to have a warm bed to climb into. Ahhh. I'm looking forward to next semesters retreat since it'll be at a beach house in FL. *erin* I was waiting for so long for a miracle to come. Everyone told me to be strong. Hold on don't shed a tear. Through the darkness, & good times, I knew I'd make it through. And the world thought I had it all, but I was waiting for you. Hush love, I see the light in your eyes. It's sort of blinding me, I can't believe, I've been touched by an angel, with love. Let the rain come down & wash away my tears, let if feed my soul & drown my fears. Let it shatter the walls for a new sun. A new day has come! Where there was dark now theres light. Where there was pain, now theres joy. Where there was weakness, now I have finally found my strength, all within the eyes of a boy. -Celine Dion 10/15/02- [4:00pm] Well I'm now an official adult. Heh that's so hard to believe. Time has just flown by. Soon my little sister will be graduating high school then turning 19! How scary. I remember my own graduation party like it was only yesterday! Hmmph. But 21 wasn't as spectacular as I'd anticipated, mostly due to the curse. I went home for a nice b- day dinner at Greenwoods (my favorite restaurant in Roswell), and right before we are about to leave Dad calls, saying that he's in the emergency room because as he was closing the top of his car (79 Porsche), he got his finger caught & the top cut a hole in it! Yeah, and this had happened earlier in the day but he continued to teach golf the rest of the day before finally going to the hospital. The story doesn't end there, either. A few minutes later, Mom's friend Donna called to say she was in a bad car wreck, had injured her neck and was in the hospital. Not only that, but she was actually in the hospital room next door to Dad! Gah. A few hours later, we finally went out to dinner, Dad with a huge bandage on his finger & Donna walking stiffly due to neck injuries (Mom, Aunt Elaine, Sister, Donna's husband Joe, & Lauren were also in attendence). But yes, it does suck when people get hurt on your birthday (especially on what is supposed to be one of your biggest, milestone birthdays). It also ruins the mood when a lot of your friends forget about said important birthday. Yeah, they'd always remembered previous birthdays but were too busy this year I guess, because, only a few close friends (Lauren, J, & Sean), actually remembered. But, I'm not bitter. *erin* Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child in my heart, rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Well, I've been afraid of changing, cause I've built my life around you. But time makes you bolder. Even children get older. And I'm getting older too. Oh, please take my love, take it down. Climb that mountain, and turn around. If you see my reflection, in those snow covered hills, then will the landslide bring it down? -Stevie Nicks 10/03/02- [5:00pm] I'm so tired of school work I could just scream. I'm never going to understand Statistics. Really. I am a blithering idiot. I just finished a test & probably got a C (even after 1.5 hours of studying). Bah! Maybe I should change my major to English, since writing is one of the things I love most & theres never any math involved. Whatever. One of these days, I've got to pull out of this apathetic funk I've been in, and, bring up my friggin grades. It's ridiculous because I'm not a C student. I have the ability to make As but lost the drive (motivation to succeed), somewhere in the year 2000. But damn it I refuse to graduate with anything less than a 3.0. The 'old high school Erin' is going to make a comeback and graduate cum laude! She will even take Calculus & make an A ( yeah, when pigs fly). Something has to improve soon though. On a good note, I turn 21 tomorrow! Hell yeah! I'll be an official adult! What a scary thought. *erin* I am Rosemary's granddaughter, the spitting image of my father & when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan. Sometimes, I'm clueless & I'm clumsy, but I've got friends who love me & they know just where I stand. Yeah it's all a part of me, and, that's who I am. - Jessica Andrews 09/26/02- [8:50pm] Blah! Winter is fast approaching & it's been cold & rainy out for the past few days (partly due to the wonderful hurricane Isador). :::::shivers:::: I do not function in cold weather damn it! Summer needs to hurry back. In other news I am 1 week away from the big 21. Oh yeah! Party time (or not). I feel old. What happened to high school? Time flies by so fast. But yeah, I shall have to go get trashed soon. Unfortunately, I'm going home on my birthday & the parents want to do something, so the real celebration will have to be postponed. Oh well. ::::yawns:::: I stayed up till two am cramming for a 9am Geology exam last night. Ha so much for dilligence. The power at the apartment was out for 5 hours last night so the roomies & I went to Olive Garden for dinner, which was delish. Jennifer is supposed to visit the 3rd weekend of October, which will be awesome. I've missed her cheery presence. Sean called again the other day, and wants me to come visit when I'm back in town. Hmmm. Even though he knows about me and another unnamed person?? Should be quite interesting!! Unnamed person would kill Sean, if he knew about this. Whatever. The curse continues. What this time, you ask? Well, I checked online for my class transfer credits a few minutes ago, and I was extremely pissed when (upon clicking 'registration status'), 'sophmore' appeared! Uh, no? I am a junior, thank you very much. So I click on 'registration hours' & it says I have 60 hours instead of 61! Yep, thats right I'm one friggin hour from junior status! Grrr. That's all. *erin* I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter. -Linkin Park 09/20/02- [3:30pm] Hell yeah! Auburn smashed Mississippi State 55 to 7 (one of our biggest wins of all time). Yay! I'm in a surprisingly good mood now. I had been wanting to pull my hair out, since this has been quite stressful week, but then, I just found out I got an A on my European history test, and somehow, that really cheered me up. :) I guess cause because I've had so much crap going on this week, the fact that I can still get an A (in the midst of stress, a busy work schedule, sorority functions, babysitting, & other shit) shows that I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I should try the whole studying thing more often instead of procrastinating. It feels good. :) *erin* Dilligence has it's rewards. 09/16/02- [4:15pm] Auburn clobbered Vandy yesterday! Whoo hoo!!!!!! It was a great game despite dreary weather. We play Mississippi State in Starkville Thursday.Hopefully, the winning streak will continue. Otherwise, this year has been pretty good. The new roomies, Lauren W &Katie, are very nice, although I miss Jennifer's comedic presence & talkative nature. It's also been wonderful having my own room & bathroom. Lately I''ve been feeling blah-zae, though. Like I'm slowly becoming everyones bridesmaid (yes Lauren & Jennifer will probably be married soon). Life has just become monotonous and boring. A vicious cycle of working, sorority stuff, sleeping. It's like I'm missing out on all the fun. Sean called yesterday too, so that could be contributing to my foul mood, lol. And I still can't believe that Whitney's gone (see 8/20/02 entry for details). Anyway I'm off to a O Phi A meeting. We're initiating all the new pledges tonight. *erin* Give em hell, give em hell, stand up and yell, War Eagle, root for Auburn, the power of Dixie Land! -AU Fight Song 09/11/02- [1:30pm] Let us take a minute to remember the victims of 9/11. *erin* I once was lost but now I'm found. 09/05/02- [5:00pm] I failed the affore mentioned statistics test. Just splended. It's very close to passing though (a 59),and most of the class failed it too, so I'm praying the teacher will curve the grades, then maybe I could pull a C. Argh. I never do this bad in literary courses. Math sucks!!! It prevents me from getting the 3.5 GPA that I desperately need this year. Maybe if I spent more time studying and less time goofing off on the computer? *erin* The thrill has gone away. 09/03/02- [5:30pm] Auburn lost their first game against Southern Cal yesterday!!! Argh. It was such a close game too, but they just couldn't hold on to the finish. UGA won their game against Vanderbuilt on Saturday, so at least that's one victory for the Southern Conference. Well, Labor Day weekend has passed, so, it's back to the boring world of college work. Somebody kill me please. I even noticed it was dark by 7pm last night. Damn it, summer can not already be over! I hate winter. Little 95 lb girls can't live in cold weather. Oh & I added new pics . *erin* Summer days, drifting away. 08/30/02- [12:40pm] Once again I've fallen pray to the evil sin of procrastination, which would be why I'm sitting here on the computer, wasting time, instead of studying. Hehe. Oh well, it's Labor Day weekend, for heavens sake. You can't possibly expect college students to do actual work on a holiday, especially with football season just around the corner. Anyway, now that I've wasted all studying time, I'm off to take a statistics test. *erin* Procrastination is a plague. 08/20/02- [12:40pm] Blah. Summer is already over. Time just flies by too damn fast. Lilian & I were talking last week about how high school was just two years ago, yet it feels like an eternity has passed since then. I suppose change is part of life. No one can stop time, but, sometimes, I wish it were possible. College has taught me a lot about life, and independence, among other lessons. But the hardest thing I've learned is that growing apart & losing people are both inevitable occurences. Growing up in the same town around the same people for 18 years, one can become satisfied living an ordinary regimented life. But something always happens or changes to bring those people out of their comfort zones & back to reality. Case in point, my friend Whitney & I talked back in June about her taking a summer trip to Italy. We actually hadn't seen eachother in 2 years, what with college & all, but she promised to send me a postcard before summers end. We also planned to have lunch before school started up again. However none of those things ever took place, because, she died (drowned in the Medditerenean Sea) while in Italy. Looking back now, there was a wierd feeling of finality in our last conversation, but I dismissed it as another onw of my crazy vibes. Heh. How ironic. I had the same vibe the last time I talked to my Grandpa over the phone before he died. But,if only I'd made time for that lunch sooner. Regrets won't change anything though. ; I better stop before this gets more depressing lol. *erin* Back to school to prove to my folks that I'm no fool. 07/27/02- [3:30pm] I'm at the Perimeter library again. ::gags:: I had to come here to confirm my literature grade since Perimeter takes forever to post grades (yeah, I finished on June 5th, and a month later the grade wasn't posted). But, of course I got an A, so no worries. Anyway the summer has been going well. Just got back from Florida yesterday & it was nice to see my aunts, cousins, and friends. Tomorrow is Lauren's birthday, so, I need to go get her something. And earlier today I had a nice reunion gathering with Rebecca & company over at Fazzolis. Well my time is limited and I can't update from the iMac, so I'll write again whensettled in the new apartment. *erin* Caffeine is so addictive. 06/05/02- [4:00pm] Summer school is officially over! Whoohoo! I'm so happy! Summer fun has officially begun! Ah it feels wonderful not having to think about a test, paper, or some other form of work to be done. Sometimes, not having anything to do can actually be used as a gift. So many people in this world seem concerned about their work, agenda, or what they have to accomplish, when all we really need is to work on our personal relationships (& get some quality relaxation time). Anyway, other than that life has still been boring. Lauren & I are going to see The Yaya Sisterhood at AMC on Friday. It's supposed to be a great movie. I also have to clean up my room & finish unpacking, at some point. Ha! Like that will ever happen. Yesterday's lit final was very long but I think I did well. The annoying thing is that I can't sell the book back because GPC just declared they're getting a new addition. Splendid. I love when colleges try to rip off their poor students. Well, that's all I can think of for now. I'll be on hiatus until around August 15 because Geocities doesn't work w/ my iMac and I don't want to spend any time in the library during the summer when it's so beautiful out. I did add new pics though. I'll be back to update from a new apartment in August. Later. *erin* If you want to, I can save you. I can take you away from here. So lonely inside so busy out there. But all you wanted was somebody to care. I'm sinking slowly, so hurry hold me. Your hand is all I have, to keep me hanging on. - Michele Branch 05/29/02- [4:00pm] Well, once again I'm in the GPC library procrastinating. I really didn't anticipate the work that a 3.5 week literature course entails. Certainly a lot more reading than I'm accustomed to, but hey, it could be worse. Life is very boring as of late, although I had a great Memorial Day yesterday. Bec & I met at Fazzoli's for lunch and then sat at the docks of my neighborhood lake, which was wonderful. It was a gorgeous day & the light shining off the water was a tranquil scene. There was even a family of geese (parents & 2 babies) that swam right over to us (probably wanting to be fed lol). T minus 9 days until summer school ends & the fun begins. I added more pictures to the 99, 2000, and Childhood sections, so go look. More to come later. :) *erin*"Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story. There's a man I love, there's my territory." And all the things I deserve for bein such a good girl honey." - Shakira 05/23/02- [4:20pm] I know, I know, I was on an updating role here, and now, I'm procrastinating again. Actually, not much has happened in the past 3 weeks. I survived finals (thank God), and I'm now back in summer school at GPC (Georgia Perimeter College). In fact I'm in the library right now (procrastinating as usual). Lauren & I saw Spiderman last week (which was an excellent movie),& we're planning another Six Flags excursion soon. Still no sign of Allison. Anyway, my growling stomach is begging for food (and I need to aviod the 5 pm traffic home), so I'm off. Oh, & I added new pics to the Childhood & 1999 sections, so go look. *erin* I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs: "I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie we have to rise above." - John Meyer 05//05/02- [6:00pm] Okay I'm online when I should be studying. To make matters worse geocities has decided to screw up this thoughts page, or at least most of the entries below (except the few I was able to fix). Bah, I so do NOT have time to fix this crap. I'll be be back to fix it later. T Minus 2 days until summer. *erin* Geocities sucks. 04/26/02- [11:30pm] Hell yeah! I just slaved for 3 hours redesigning the front page of my site and I like it!! Jennifer came for a visit this weekend so that was cool; Yet finals loom ahead, which, is why I'm not in the best of moods (procrastinating as usual). Ugh. Only 2 more weeks of school then I am off to summer school for another month at GPC.; But it's a good thing in the end because I'll be done for good by June 7th (since I'm taking a mini-mester); Yay!! Anyway, not much going on right now in the dull life of this cynic. My friend Terry is going to help me soon with furthur improvements to this site (& more pictures are comin soon too), so stay tuned. Muah haha! Well, time for Leno. *erin* Mediocrity can be a good thing in some cases. 04/16/02- [6:00pm] Shit & bricks, what a horrible day!!! ::::::::rubs temples::::::; I stupidly decided to have a large bottle of Arizona Lemon Tea last night while cramming for a dreaded Philosophy test (& this after a six month hiatus from caffeinated drinks). Oh holy hell!; Within 20 minutes I had a bad case of the shakes, and then after studying, I couldn't get to sleep! Argh! Yah at 4:15am I was still tossing & turning. The dreaded alarm clock then sounded (loud as a bullhorn) at 9am, but I threw it on the floor. So today at 2pm I went to take the friggin test. It was quite difficult. I was probably able to get a B or C on it, but, the damn problems were so long, I was so tired, that I was not able to finish on time, I wrote my teacher a note saying that I need more time I did try my best, but I doubt he'll have sympathy. BAH!!!!!!! Why can't I catch a break anymore?? The Curse returns I guess. On a good note, Jennifer is coming to visit this weekend! At least thats something to be happy about.; 3 weeks till Summer! *erin* The ides of April are upon us. 04/07/02- [10:00pm] Much has happened in a month and as usual I am sorry for the delay.; Jenn dicided to quit school, so I'm now by myself, but luckily not for long since summer break is coming soon, thank God! Still not totally sure what I'm gonna do, on the roommate front, since, Jenn moved out on such short notice. The original plan was to be in a nice condo (at a place called The Edge) but of course that fell through. I hope to have an apartment in the fall, so, we'll see how it goes. I'll know by early May. Spring Break was a blast. We went to FL for 4 days to help Aunt Cathy move in to her new house, and then, I hung out with Lauren. I was supposed to have lunch with Bec too, but her strict Dad grounded her to the house.; There's still no sign of Allison lately, though, Kristen resurfaced for awhile. Oh, & Sean got a new apartment, in Roswell (although he isn't in school, the bum, lol). Anyway I added a pic & expect site changes soon; My friend Terry is a web designer; he's gonna help me redesign the site; *erin* Old habits never die. 03/05/02- [11:15am] Once again I apologize for not updating in awhile (although I did add some new pics)! I should 'really' be doing about 10 other things right now, considering, this is about the busiest week of the semester as far as school work goes, but as usual, I am the ultimate procrastinator. Holy hell I just glanced at my Biology syllabus. I have a test tomorrow. Crap, another thing to add to the list . I can almost taste spring break summer, but, alas they seem incredibly far away now. The 30 degree weather here doesn't help things either. Just want to make it through the next 3 weeks, curse free. Nothing interesting has gone on lately. Mom & Maryann visited this weekend for Maryann's niece's wedding. Lauren is coming downfor a visit next weekend. Jenn went to Tampa for her bf Ty's sister's wedding & should be returning today. Also went & saw I Am Sam (which was a great movie) with Dorian last week. Allison & Kristen still havenot surfaced again, but thats old news lol. Oh &Sean's birthday is next week. Well, I really have to get to work now. Expect new pics in April, & sign the guestbook! *erin* Procrastination is a bitch. 01/31/02- [2:30pm] So things have been uneventful lately. Class work & working the desk have taken up a bunch of my time. Of course, I could be making straight A's if I wanted to, but, those that know me know that I am the absolute queen of procrastination & wasting time (which would be why I'm typing this instead of studying for two huge Biology & Spanish tests). One frustration is that Kristen and Allison seem to have dissapeared lately. Whenever either of those two go into hiding there is always a good reason (ie a disaster). So both of them doing that is no good. But, oh well. Some new pictures should be coming in a few weeks. Since I only have a scanner at home, be patient. On a good note I've finally gotton the motivation to start towork out/ have a fitness program again (well so far it's been running & playing ping pong, but hope to start playing Tennis again soon). I've been playing ping pong with this guy John, (who happens to be very good looking). Have only lost one game, so far, making me the reining champ of the dorm, yay!  Ok, I'm a dork. Parents are still their usual naggy selves, so nothing much is new. Lauren has an equestrian show (she's on the UGA team) here at Auburn on March 8, so, looking forward to seeing her. My sis Kathleen was sick (a few days ago), but luckily didn't catch my recent disease (see 1/14 entry below). Jenn was having nervous breakdowns (oh how I can relate to that), due to problems with her bf Ty, but she's fine now. Anyway, have to go to class.*erin* Stress compiles over time, & has a boiling effect if presented with the proper stimulus. 01/14/02- [1 pm] Once again I'm sorry for the delay. I'm really gonna try & get better about updating the site, but I do have good excuses. Basically Geocities doesn't work on my home computer, & also I've had some disasters over the break. Wrecked my car 2.5 hours after finishing finals, & then I spent 2 days in the hospital with pneumonia over New Years. Great fun I tell ya. But despite all that I really did have a good break. Not having to think about school work is always so great, & I caught up w/ the neighborhood friends as usual.Got back to school on Jan 8th, & it really feels like I've been here for an eternity already.  I'm takinSpanish, Philosophy 1010, Calc 1160, Educational Media 3000 (Computer class), & Biology 1010 this semester. Oh, & I posted a few new pics, so go look. More to come later. *erin* Busy bees don't even have time to sleep. 12/12/01- [1:21pm] 2 finals down, 2 to go! Oh the pressure. As of now my GPA is 2.5 (3.5 this semester),but I know that will change since I think I bombed my Geology final, and Political Science is no picnic either.Just posted some new pics, finally. I'll upload more during the break, and have them up when I return to AU(since I can't update my site at home, i.e. Macs don't work with Geocities, plus, I do not want my parents to see this site). Jen & most everyone from dorm is done w/ exams. Went home this weekend for dentist appt, and the new carpet has been put in (construction project almost done). Also, another surprise: we got a NEW CAR!! A Silver 2002 Voltswagon Bug! I am so excited!!! *erin* Too much cramming can lead to insanity. |
