    this thing worked!
    You Are 24 Years Old

    Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

    13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

    20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

    30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

    40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

    "I Remember"

    I remember it well
    The first time that I saw
    Your head around the door
    'Cause mine stopped working

    I remember it well
    There was wet in your hair
    I was stood in the stairs
    And time stopped moving

    I want you here tonight
    I want you here
    'Cause I can't believe what I found
    I want you here tonight
    I want you here
    Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

    I remember it well
    Taxied out of a storm
    To watch you perform
    And my ships were sailing

    I remember it well
    I was stood in your line
    And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth...

    I want you here tonight
    I want you here
    'Cause I can't believe what I found
    I want you here tonight
    I want you here
    Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

    Except you my love. Except you my love...

    Come all ye lost
    Dive into moss
    I hope that my sanity covers the cost
    To remove the stain of my love
    Paper maché

    Come all ye reborn
    Blow off my horn
    I'm driving real hard
    This is love, this is porn
    God will forgive me
    But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

    I wanna hear what you have to say about me
    Hear if you're gonna live without me
    I wanna hear what you want
    I remember december
    And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
    Hear if you're gonna live without me
    I wanna hear what you want
    What the hell do you want?

    One of the most beautiful, moving songs I have ever heard ever.

    Current Mood: yet happy at the same time...

    I decided I should update this and use it more than 10 times a year...but I guess it is too late now.

    I am in Erie at the moment. I took a whole week off of work just because I don't care and decided I should mope around for awhile and find myself before classes start again. This is what I have done so far today in order:

    1. Woke up from a nightmare I was having...that involved my boss abruptly firing me for no reason.
    2. Checked out my myspace profile.
    3. Ate a hershey kiss.
    4. Checked my myspace profile again.
    5. Checked the status of my student loan...which was halted because of a miscommunication with the menial worker who submitted my loan information. But that is hopefully taken care of.
    6. Drank a mudslide.
    7. Ate cheesy potatoes.
    8. Drank another one (all before 1pm mind you).
    9. Talked on the phone for a bit to my friend Megan.
    10. Updated my livejournal (that's happening now).
    11. Just decided that I only want to do 10 things today...but that decision actually made it 11.

    SOOOO GOODNIGHT!

    woo
    Right now it is exactly 36 hours since I have had a cigarette! I am not really craving any right now...I mean once in awhile I do...but nothing like yesterday...I wanted to die yesterday. Like I said before, I think thats the initial decision making day...seeing if you really want to quit...and you would be stupid to not want to. Actually here is a site I went to when I almost had a breakdown yesterday at noon. Its horrible and real and sad.

    http://www.sptimes.com/News/61599/Floridian/He_wanted_you_to_know.shtml

    That isn't bullshit either...he died of liver and lung cancer...In 1998 my grandfather died of the same thing and he wilted away over a 6-month period...he looked like that too when he died...I just never thought about it until now. It was the most horrible thing in the world I ever witnessed and I can't fathom of how ridiculous I have been for smoking after seeing that. He would strangle me now if he could see me when I was smoking after seeing him die. I am so fucking stupid!

    I am never going to smoke anything ever again.

    So on Urban Sprawl...
    Today in Urban Sociology we talked about 4 separate articles dealing with...Urban Sprawl. My article I reviewed luckily dealt with Pittsburgh.

    First off, before I begin I want to note that when I lived in Erie I was completely and totally all about it...reason being...Erie has nothing...so Urban Sprawl is good there...well not really...but it gives those people something to do...and it creates tons of minimum wage jobs! *cough* Anyways...I never put enough thought into the affects of Urban Sprawl until today...mostly because I was going to be an awesome evil Architect that destroyed all plant life.

    As most of us know Pittsburgh is trying to liven its downtown. We all know this isn't very successful, I mean Pittsburgh has totally cleaned itself up but that is it. It hasn't really added anything down there to attract people...and to boot...people don't support Pittsburgh...plain and simple. Minus the support factor and add the Urban Sprawl factor...and we have a problem.

    Has anyone heard of the Pittsburgh Mills development they are putting in by New Kensington? It is going to be Pennsylvania's largest shopping center. I can't remember the exact acreage, but it is enormous...ENORMOUS. It will have hundreds of stores and many many restaurants...and I think gambling may even be part of it. Pittsburgh is so excited!

    Q: HOW IN THE HELL DOES THIS BENEFIT DOWNTOWN?!

    It doesn't.

    I mean look at the Waterfront...that was just started in 1999...and they have so much random shit going in up there it is pathetic. South Side Works...it is nice...but I just found it weird because it as an entirely new part of the city...I don't think that would be considered Urban Sprawl though...but look at Robinson Town Center...Century III...Monroeville...Edgewood...

    The city is going to fail due to Urban Sprawl...and not just Pittsburgh.

    Oh yea and I got a job today at the Campus Computing Lab! I would write more but I feel bad because I just made like $15 typing this.

    This day has not been as productive as yesterday was...However...I did participate again in school for the 4th day in a row! The teacher took us to sports rock...a nice restaurant in the strip...and then we had a little adventure to the Heinz History Center. I was very surprised at this little museum. I found it very informative and creative than most here. My favorite exhibit was def on the 2nd floor. The main part of the exhibit you came to an intersection as if you were outside...the street signs said...18th, 19th, 20th...(centuries) of course...with the little arrows...they had a great example on one corner of a log house...not a cabin...and then across the street from that there was an example of the base of a 19th century skyscraper...and across from that a 19th century house that would of been constructed in a housing project...across from that...there was an example of a 20th century home...all of these you could either enter or walk around and see the insides...it depended on if they were cut in half or not...but the streets changed along with the time through the little allies...my favorite was the example of the 19th century home...the street was cobblestone and they had puddles in the potholes...obviously made out of glue but it had a neat feel...the lighting was great too...they were gold colored lights that shined through windows and the laundry that was hanging above you...I want to move there...another goal of mine...There was also an exhibit on L and C...another exhibit on the presidents of the US...another one called glassworks...and then just the archive...The first floor was a history of the building the museum was in along with the trolleys that used to run down the streets and cars from back then and fire engines and stuff...oh they had a cool spiral slide too...half my class went down it but I controlled myself and didn't.

    I just missed my bus...I have two sketches to do tonight but prob wont...I have 16 hours of that extra class I am taking done so far this week bringing my grand total up to 36 hours...I need 55 though so I will come in early tomorrow and prob stay late...but I have two weeks left so it is good...

    heres the plan
    This saturday 11:55pm...April 3rd...last cigarette...I made a pact with my friend last night...It is now or never...I am ready to quit...However I am only posting it on here because when I have told people before they did the whole "yea right" thing...fuck you :)

    In school now did the 7:30 to five thing today...it wasn't bad at all...But I should get out of here and go to work...I hope I hang out with someone tonight!! Someone in particular that is!!!

    and combos and Mt Dew...lifesavers!!! OOO lifesavers are good too! But not today!

    Oh and karen and her fiance stopped by the other night to my surprise...I haven't saw her for a year! I am so happy she didn't forget about me. She got to meet my friend adam too!

    On second thought maybe I will blow work off...

    Nah...I will go and if anything pops up I can leave!!! YAY!!!

    The weather is nice!

    oh yea I am still...
    emo
    YOU ARE EMO!

    You are one big mess of misunderstood emotions.
    Unfortunatelly you lost all of your friends
    once you started wearing only black, Gap
    sweaters and fake glasses. The good news is
    that you now have a whole new ring of
    anti-social, well-dressed friends. You sure got
    a way with style, and the music you listen to
    is enough to make even the hardest of people
    break down in tears. Times used to be tough,
    but these days life is pretty good for an emo
    kid. With your short black hair and morbid
    poetry you are the envy of every depressed,
    suicide attempting, starbucks drinking mallgoer
    in your town.


    What is your anti-conformist personality?
