okay so its been a real long time since i last updated this and a lot has changed since then. summer started and now its almost over and i have no idea where it went. so im going to do some recapping over the past 2 or 3 months.
2 June 2006: I turned 18 and it rained real bad so I had to cancel my birthday party or at least postpone it. Instead I had a murder mystery party and it was very relaxing. I walked to Dunkin Donuts with Marie with my princess crown on and we shared coffee coollatas. We went back to my house and we watched Boy Meets World, Marie made me a bracelet, I took a shower and at about 3:30 my amazing boyfriend dropped by. He showered me with presents and I was so happy. He bought me and ipod and ipod speakers with a radio and alarm clock, and a chase utley shirt, and prettiful earrings. He watched as marie curled my hair, that's love. So Jackie and Kerri made their way over and eventually Matt and finally Stacy and Stephanie. But the wait was worth it. We drank a little wine and then made strawberry daqueris...Kerri and Chris added a little too much run and not enough strawberry mix. Ha, but that's okay cause we were all real happy. Stacy and Steph made me the best video and i cried my eyes out. anyway, it was definitely a good birthday.
8 June 2006: Baccalaureate Mass: Long/Boring, Friendly's afterwars...ice-cream is amazing. I graduate tomorrow. My cell phone breaks and is currently broken.
9 June 2006: Graduation. I cried some more but it was such a happy day. I miss a lot of people. It was also my graduation party, I wish more people came but I love everyone who did. It was a good time. I finally finished my scrapbook.
10 June 2006: too many graduation parties, sorry I couldn't make them all. We got tipsy at Kerri's, Justin and Bobby fought. Yikes.
11 June 2006: not as many parties to attend so it was a bit relazing.
16-23 July 2006: Senior week begins. It was one of the best weeks of my life. Beach everyday, almost out to breakfast every morning. I loved being there with my best friends and living on our own with no responsibilities at all. It was amazing and I really do miss it. Since we got our security deposit back let's do it again. <3 Manny. Writing on plates was key. The L-family isn't allowed back. Old, shaky ladders are not good. The first floor was banging. A little drama here and there, but you know, its all good. Amereta and coke was much needed..cant get enough. Jackies fudslides were gross. We got bracelets to the amusement rides and we ate a lot of food. Some of us puked, but it was for the better. We went to the psychic and she was so good. I hate everyone who hid from the cops on our last night. Jaggerbombs, chris fee was the life of the party. Me marie jackie and lizz acted like we were on a stupid reality tv show. Sleepovers in the air conditioned room were necessary and long overdue. I love and miss everyone in that house.
23 June 2006: Back to Philly we go. Our departure was very sad. I had to take down all our plates..I cried a little. Leaving is never happy and we all thought that week would never end. Say goodbye. I went to the Copa Cobana..it was yucky.
24 June 2006: Marie's graduation party, everyone was present. Mr Jimmy always throws a good party. Pi Kappa Phi party with Stephanie. Stephanie and Kevsta make out..it was hott. We went to the bathroom a lot. I think Stephanie drank her first cup of coffee. Me and chris got stuck on the small couch.
26 June 2006: I start my job at Max Myers day camp. It was a little rough start cause I didn't know anyone but now I love it more than anything and I'm so happy to be there. I met lots of people once I got out of the purple group. They held me back. Everyone should come swimming before camp is over and hang out with me.
30 June 2006: My birthday party. A lot of people came and we ate a lot of food. I had a real good time, I hope everyone else did too. Stacy threw up in my garden. Haha, I still love her.
1-4 July 2006: I head down to Sea Isle City for the weekend. No work Monday or Tuesday. Scrabble on the beach is the best, especially with my godmother. I beat my high score. I love the beach more than ever and my family is gReat. Mom-mom and pops make the world go round. Too bad dad couldnt join us. Played some cards, went to the arcade.
4 July 2006: We come home real early and watch the gay parade. It was real bad this year. Went to the flea market and always run into cool people there. The 4th of July brings Lawncrest together. The fireworks were better than ever. I was very proud of the LC.
6-9 July 2006: Back to Sea Isle City again with my family after work. We actually go straight to Ocean City and meet my family there for food and rides. It was the first time in Ocean City without Harry and Ian, I missed them a lot. Chris came down Friday and we spent the night in Wildwood. We drank lemonade and watched the fireworks. The next day we stayed in Sea Isle and had a blast. We only stayed one night but it was terrific. He took all my family money in a heated game of cad. He was no longer popular. Beach and hot dogs and Scrabble with no rules. The ocean had lots of sea weed but that didnt stop me from boogie boarding.
11 July 2006: 3 years with Chris. He sent me flowers with a sweet message inside. We went to see Pirates of the Carribean 2. I want to be a pirate even more. We ate dinner at Bennigans..it was real cute.
12 July 2006: Weakerthans concert, I havent been to South Street in awhile.
14 July 2006: I got moved to the Yellow group at work and I'm much happier cause that is where I will stay. Too bad I felt sick and had to go home that day. I felt really bad but they forgave me.
15 July 2006: I'm supposed to go down the shore with my cousins but I don't feel good still so I stay home.
16 July 2006: I go to a barbeque at Chris' aunts house. All my friends get back from Montana.
17 JUly 2006: I get to see everyone who went away. Too bad no one bought me anything. Haha, oh well, it sounded like fun. I finally pick up my check from Rita's.
18 July 2006: Me and Stephanie go on a date. We buy cosmo and paint our nails and buy sneakers from rude ladies.
One day this week we go to Quality and Dan Kee brings our senior week deposits to us. We feel so rich, we walk to wawa.
22 July 2006: Stacy and Lizz's birthday bash. They're finally 18 and we celebrate the princess way. We danced to NSYNC. There was a pinata and me stephanie and chris fee slept over stacys. I took a picture of her while she was sleeping. She got mad.
23 July 2006: I find out I have to write a bunch of essays for dumb college and I try to do these in one week.
24 July 2006: We go to Bennigans, it's always a delight. Me jackie and maries table was the hot spot.
I dont really remember this week.
28 July 2006: I ate a hot dog for dinner. Me and chris went to the phillies game, they lost real bad but we had good seats and good food. I drank out of bottles.
29 July 2006: I come home and no one seems to be around so that stunk. Hung out with my family a little.
30 July 2006: Swum in chris' aunts pool and it was so nice. I came home at 10 and needed to write a 1000 word essay and finish 3 more and send them in my 12. I was cutting it real close but I think I made the deadline.
31 July 2006: Hung around Kerrilynns pool. Walked to wawa.
1 August 2006: Chilled at Brians with peeopls. Walked to wawa.
2 August 2006: Went to wawa. Drove past Nevans house. Do you feel like a man?
3 August 2006: I found out I dont have classes on Fridays, I jump for joy. I watch its always sunny in Philadelphia. I got to sleep early.
4 August 2006: I go to the girl doctor. It was weird but I'm okay with it now. I'll reveal more only to girls. Its a secret. I'm late for work and no one notices, I had a good reason though. Chris comes over. We order from quality. They forget my honey mustard sauce. I'm pissed. I'll never order from there again(lie). Marie and Kerri come over. We decide to swim in Kerris pool. Marie brought the party. The pool was so hot. We ran for mr softee. It was worth it.
5 August 2006: I get my roommates. I live in Xavier 122 and its co-ed by pod and has air conditioning. My roommates are Maria Anthony and Kate Conahan. They went to the same high school, I hope they dont have lots of inside jokes, especially about me. So I'm getting closer.
I really thought my summer sucked but now that I wrote it all down, it doesnt sound all that bad. There were some dull moments but it always gets better. I'm gonna miss everyone. 2 1/2 weeks, lets not let it go to waste. I love you guys/girls. I've decided I'll update more often.

So the day that every girl looks forward to since they were little is coming up tomorrow for me. I honestly never thought it'd come, it always seemed so far away and i never thought I'd be so big, if that makes any sense. Seniors always looked so tall and it always seemed like they had a good handle on things, but that's obviously not true. And that's not bad cause it's more exciting this way. Anyway, I am finally excited for prom which is great. I'm not sure why prom is so important to some people and I don't really know why it's important for me. I love everyone on my bus, I love the table I get to sit at, I love the beach, but most of all I love getting dressed up to be someone I'm not. How often do I get to dress up real pretty in a long silky dress and get a 40s hairstyle and shake everyones hand and take compliments and dance and hang out with my best friends all at the same time? Not too often, so now that the opportunity is here I have to take it. I think it'll be a nice change. I hope everything works out good for everyone with nails, hair, etc. You guys are my favorite and I love you and I'm gonna miss you and this next year. mwah!!!!
Love,
Shannon |

Man Overboard
So sorry it's over So sorry it's over
There's so much more than I wanted and
There's so much more than I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone
Spent some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
Cause in the end it's fucking useless
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Settle on the ledge That you don't come down
You can only lean on me for so long
Cover up the scars Put on your game face
Left you in a bar To try and save face
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Settle on the ledge That you don't come down
You can only lean on me for so long
So sorry it's over So sorry it's over
There's so much more that I wanted and
There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on
Soon we'll all be gone
Man on a mission Can't say I miss him around
Insider information Can't keep your resignation
Loss of a good friend Best of intentions
I found Tight lip procrastination
Yeah later See you around
...me and marie dancing in my room, since forever, we'll never stop dancing even though we're leaving eachother for the first time in our lives. i want to have c lunch forever. i love you all. mwah.
love,

And so at the end of the day I think you'll find that we don't always get what we want but in time we'll realize we got what we needed, and honestly, who could want more than that?

Tomorrow is the weekend already, fast week, huh? I thought so at least. This weekend should be good, I hope so at least. I'm starting to run with Tina tomorrow after school, then partying with K-dubs and J-hop, then sleepover? Maybe. Saturday I don't have any plans yet..call me. Sunday, practice till 4, then nothing. No school Monday, that makes me happy.
I'm ready to move on, as long as I know we can always come back.
"And losing your way on a journey is unfortunate, but losing your reason for the journey is a fate more cruel."
Love always,

I feel so bad when I stay home from school, especially when I have 2 tests the next day. I didn't mean to stay home, it just happened. Ugh. Oh well, I'll just have to study hard and hope I understand everything.
Things have been changing lately, can't say if I like them or not yet. I just hope things work out well. I hope I get into Villanova, I find out next month...it shouldn't take so long.
Valentine's day had come and past, it was a good time though, no complaints except Friendly's.
Kerri, I'm sorry I wasn't in school today for you to hump me.
Love,
Shannon |

Anyway, so last night my sisters went to see the Incredibles on Ice and now they keep pretending that they're superheros, maybe they'll let me play too. They got these really cool cups and straws and bracelets, I highly recommend it, I wish I went. I'm so glad it's the weekend because I can't stand school right now. I'm done doing work for school, it's a waste of my time. The play has begun, it's actually not that far away. Prom is coming too, who is everyone taking? Okay well I have a date to attend to.
Love,

I don't think we've ever talked so much about grade school as we did today. Grade school is so funny, I wish I could go back for like a week just to appreciate how ridiculous it actually was. The fun/cool class went wherever Steve Nicoletti was at. Me and Kerri failed every project we ever did together, even our amazing Conastoga wagon with a fake lamp inside. Ha, good times. It doesn't seem like grade school was that long ago, time wise, but I think of how everyone was then, how I was then, and how we've all changed a lot. Usually changes go unnoticed because we all grow gradually together, but it's fun to think about. We're better people now though, even though much of our innocence has left us. We really don't appreciate things until they're gone. We do it every time and we'll continue to do it because it's a habit that is impossible to grow out of. So, for what it's worth, try to take everything in for what it is because 4 years from now we will be begging to come back to the same place we're at now. We'll all talk about the people that we encountered that were strange or funny, we'll laugh about teachers and we'll have a thousand stories to tell and we'll tell them over and over and over. We'll tell them to our new friends perhaps, but they won't find the stories as funny because maybe they are childish or stupid or you-had-to-be-there stories. But that makes it all the better because our stories are our little secrets, to be shared to anyone and everyone but to only truly understood by us. Here is to living, loving, and laughing...cheers!
Love,
Shannon |

Hey hey! Things have been good lately, except for last night. When bad things happen though, everyone loves eachother even more, it brings people together. Funny how things like that happen. Anyway, I won't go into details about last night because everyone has and will talk about it constantly for awhile and plus, I was instructed not to do so. I really love my friends, everyone is always there for eachother. Christopher is home now and that makes everyone happy. Christmas was awesome, maybe not as fun as usual but I gave people cool gifts and I got some also. I wish it was Christmas break forever and my whole family came over more often, they're so funny. Me and Marie are the best at church and Stephanie is the best at Santa and Jackie is just the best. Senior year is almost half way over, how crazy is that? I don't have too many complaints so far though. Let's keep up the good work.
Lots of love,

Guys, I had the best time. I didn't miss you guys at all. Ha, maybe a little. I wish I didn't have to go to school, I had 12 hours of sleep last night, it was crazy, but I wish I was back in Ireland. Maybe someday, I hope. See you all soon.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the 'coolest' book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"Of course not; you'd say Madeline is better than I am."
That's so gay, I want a redo, this is from my SAT book. |

I am loving life. It's so much fun and it's really exciting.
This weekend me and Stephanie studied for the SATs on Friday night, but didn't really study much at all, well a little and we ate a lot of junk food. We felt sick. I love her. Saturday was the actual SATs, soooo long, oh well I hope I did good. If not, Mr. Fitz said I shouldn't take them again and he also yelled at Stephanie for confusing me about college because he says I'm so anal. It's true though, ha I love him.
After that I came home and eventually took a nap and Stephanie, Stacy, and Kate woke me up and then they watched me clean my room as we listened to Leann Rimes and looked and pictures on my wall. Then they left and I got ready and Stephanie came over to beautify me, but she really just talked on the phone the whole time while I had to find an outfit to wear. She's such a pimp.
Dan Kee picked us up and we got Stacy and went to Tom's house. From there we went to the Danish bakery to Wawa to Burholme to another Wawa to Tom's house again. We kept getting kicked out and that was annoying. I didn't get to see my little Reginahead. :( Andrew's car was so much fun because we got to listen to Dammit and Story of a Girl.
Today I slept in and then watched The Mighty Ducks and Grease, but now I have to study for my Spanish midterm and start my English midterm. This week should be a blast, NOT!! Friday, come soon.
Lots of love, Shannon |

...Then they all jumped for that one piece, the only piece that looked apetizing to me. All of them would have been content with any of the other of the pieces, but not me. The only thing that I ever wanted, gone. I would have eaten it to the last bite and cherished every taste. But not her; she ate it fast and sloppy, never coming up for air. She ate it to the crust and then threw it down on her plate for someone to come and clean up her mess. I picked up the crust and I ate it to the very last drop. I have had other pieces before, hundreds of pieces, but none like this. In a way it swallowed me. Although I could not experience the piece as a whole, I was glad to have gotten at least small portion of it. All of the pieces in the world could not come close to that. I have never had a better piece before then and I do not wish to have a piece like it again. It is truly one of a kind and I shall savor it forever. It will be the smell and taste of my dreams. The thought of it will make me happy when I am sad. I barely got any, but I soon learned that even the slightest taste will change my life forever.

its like this....you discover this new song and you love it so much and you can relate to it and you know all of the words and you cant stop listening to it but eventually you get sick of it and you need to stop listening to it before you hate it, but whenever it comes on the radio its so much fun and eventually when you havent heard it for a while you will find the cd laying around your room and listen to it and you'll remember just how much you loved it and wonder why you ever stopped listening to it.
I have weird analogies. But anyway, I feel like that is how a lot of people are feeling right now. Then again, maybe not, but I can.
Anyways, this weekend was awesome. Senior year is looking good. I have lots of cool stuff to look forward to. I'm going to Cabrini tomorrow night to stay over. I get to look forward to reading the Scarlet Letter for English class. This weekend is Halloween weekend and I am going to be Gretchen from Recess. Then I have SATs, which I'm not looking forward to. Then I'm going to Ireland for 10 days, which will be totally cool, even though I'm missing my cousin's going away party. Then is Marie's 18th Birthday..big bash?? I think so. Chris will be coming home one of those days. And that means presents and Christmas, hehe. 2006 will be coming after that. Wow, I never thought that year would come, it seemed so far away. Then Prom, the Shore, my Birthday/Graduation Party, Senior Week!!, and then who knows. I hope it is all awesome and I spend my time well.
Me and Tina are taking over the school!!!
Shirley Temple is my hero.

I hope when someone asks me to marry him, he has enough sense to know that I want it to be a ring pop he gives me before he gives me the actual ring. Preferably strawberry or green apple..cherry would do too. This way I know he really knows me. That would be sweet.
Anywho, the play was last weekend and this weekend. It was a lot of fun. I'll miss those kiddies, especially Big Mike who is like 40. <3 I'm sure I'll see most of them though sometime.
School is okay, nothing special...i wish I read Crime and Punishment. Oh well, it's too late now. I hope this weekend is fun. Lots of people are going on Kairos, I hope they have fun. Kerri is my lover. Maybe she will give me a danish.
halloween is coming!!!
