Nightmare

I couldn't sleep last night. I woke up at 3:30 after having a scary dream. 

Which is very rare. I never remember my dreams NOR do I rarely ever have nightmares.

I think the last time I had one was when I was little. 

All I can remember is a huge black cloud and a big yellow lightning bolt chasing me everywhere, through a really dark old house and it's creepy back yard. 

What does this mean!? 

Shampoo in the eye

Thanksgiving morning I got shampoo in my eye. It turned red! 

Search for Pirate's Booty

This is all I wanted last night. We looked in three stores (7-11, White Hen and CVS) and none of them had it! 

WHY is this so hard to find? And when I do find it, the vending machine won't give it to me!! It's so delicious, I just want to nom :/ 

A Tale of the Missing Laptop

A few minutes ago, I thought someone stole my laptop (Liz always has random people over). I nearly had a heart attack! I couldn't find it anywhere. I remembered putting it on my bed. I was sitting on my bed reading for about an hour until I noticed its "disappearance." I searched everywhere! And then I eventually found it, deep under my blankets on my bed... proof that my bed is too big for me. 

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah, roma roma-ma, GaGa, ooh la la!

sorry I'm dancing again but it's a good song 

Snowmen + cupcakes = two of my favorite things.

HOW CUTE IS THIS!?

Perfume

The older I get, the more of a girly-girl I am becoming. I've been seeing so many commercials on TV (and I never really watch this much TV, only during break) of celebrities/designers with their perfumes and it makes me want to design my own perfume!! And it will be the prettiest smelling thing, ever :) A mix of flowers and the smell of the air right before it rains in the Spring. Every girl would want to smell like Teresa Margaret McMahon!

A Sad Commercial

Earlier when I was watching TV, a commercial for St. Jude's hospital came on and it had a little girl with cancer in it and I had to wipe away tears! It wasn't even a sad commercial, it was just a commercial to get people to donate money. This 40 second commercial made me cry!! And if I had the money I would definitely donate to them... 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just woke up when I made this so I apologize for looking like a bum. Caleb is cute, though :P

BOOM BOOM BOOM

I want you in my room! 

Sex

Since Winter Ball's theme is Black & White, I'm going to wear my sexy little black dress which calls for sexy shoes, something I lack. I love these ones but I don't think I could ever walk in them!! haha. We'll see.

I wish Andre could come to be my sexy date =/

What a dress!

Now, I love cats... but I would never wear this: 

Lots of Thoughts!

Meh, woke up after a two hour nap and thought it was Thanksgiving. Mini-Thanksgiving dinner tonight, though!!! =) 

I managed to run to the English department right on time and I passed in my paper before they closed! I arrived out of breath but I made it!! I can enjoy break now :) 

I want to be womanly & bake cookies. And forget about a creepy Swiss guy...

The MFA was cool earlier, I looked at some fine European art for free! and then nommed on some good pizza at UHOP! :)

train ride home was terrible, SO crowded... everyone going home for the holiday and all. Me going home is just a 10 minute train ride but it took much longer than that earlier. 

I just realized how this empty pill bottle on my floor makes me look like a drug addict.... 

I really want to bake cookies! 

Buttercup: A Dance Video!

I was very bored on Sunday night :P hahah

My flower taught me how to dance! 

Sad, random, happy

Sad thought: sometimes I think I'm the ugliest person in ze world

Random thought: sometimes I wish I could walk around shirtless

Happy thought: yay for $1 cupcakes at Mike's Pastries :D 

YAY!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving :) 

And Andre comes home on Friday :) 

happy happy happy. 

going to the Museum of Fine Arts with Susan today! 

I'ma flower! :D

Nothingness

\

A Fail

Earlier I had dinner with Ang & Steph. They made sure I took home the umbrella and black sweater I left there about 2 weeks ago. Before I left they asked if I had everything. I said I did, only to discover right when I was about to leave the North End (near the fountains) that I left my wallet on the futon. Of all things! So I had to walk all the way back to their apartment and then proceed to walk to Park Street. Fail. 

Looming Headache

I hate the smell of homemade burgers

English only

I'm never speaking French ever again

I OFFICIALLY HATE IT

Another want

I want a lifesize gingerbread man

Random kids at work

Little girl: You're wearing a colorful bra!!!

Thanks for noticing :P 

Sleepy

I slept in very late today (and by late I mean 10:30 AM) ... but I'm still sooo tired. I think I may go to sleep now and pass in my paper on it's actual due date, Wednesday, and not early. 

Goodnight moon

Sadness

In the almost 3 months that we've been apart, I think I've only cried over our situation on our last night together. I don't know why I'm crying now, especially since we'll be seeing each other soon, but I just really really miss him =( 

Friday Night.

My stupid brother accidently called the police so I answered the door unknowingly to two young cops in my bathrobe.

Must-Stop-Eating-Junk

My stomach exploded today! And it hurt :( 

Random Child + Me = this conversation

Little boy: You have a boyfriend?

Me: Yes.

Little boy: Bet he's not black.

Me: What?

Little boy: He's supposed to be white!

Me: How do you know if he's white or not? 

Little boy: I don't know, he could be Puerto Rican.

Me: No, he's Swiss.

Little boy: *blank stare* What? 

A true American message;

Mysterious burn?

No idea where it came from. It hurts.

Bored at 1:30 AM

Cold Weather is Coming

Pants. I need them. 

Really, now.

How did I end up with such a good looking boyfriend? 

Random Thought

How tall is Glen Hansard? 

Loong day.

I have to be at school from 11:30 AM til 7:10 PM today.

Gross.

At least I dropped my French class, so I can spend like 2 hrs in the library reading :D 

I wish today was a day off like last Wednesday...but... the semester is almost over and I won't have to go through long Wednesdays until Spring starts up... yes, I am crazy and signed up for yet another 4:30-7:10 class on Wednesdays next semester :P

Before sleep,

I want a goodnight cupcake 

Snugglepuff Poem

SNUGGLEPUFF 

there's something lurking 
under your covers
she likes to snuggle
with all your lovers

she sits and waits
until it turns night
and when night comes,
she'll snuggle so tight.

don't you worry,
she won't deny
snuggling unless
you're a creepy guy.

she's sort of skinny
but this does not matter,
the more snuggles she gives,
the more she'll get fatter.

so snuggle her please, 
she'll never get rough,
she's just your average,
friendly Snugglepuff.

Neck at Night

NECK GLAND WHY DO YOU HATE ME

AND WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAPPEN AT NIGHT

So much pain lives inside of my neck 

right now,

I'm uncomfortable.

Potential Lip Loss

Almost burned my lips off earlier. 

Don't eat pasta out of a pot while it boils. 

how would a lipless Teresa look?

how would a lipless ANYONE look? 

inhuman

alien

lips

I Guess I Missed Out

I wish I saw the meteor shower. 

OR

that I was part of it. Me amongst the stars!!!!! 

No, I don't Know Juan

Wrong number.

Me: Hello?

Guy: Hi. I'm looking for Juan.

Me: Sorry you have the wrong number.

Guy: You don't know Juan?

Me: No... bye. 

=O

I was laughing at a roll of fat I had while sitting down, then I gave it a face! (And laughed harder)

Is this cute enough for you?

What am I doing right now?

I'm doing something cute. A surprise for my cute cute boyfriend! 

(YET - WHEN AM I NOT DOING SOMETHING CUTE? *runs away*) 

What Made My Day

-Finishing my paper on time!!

-Opening up a pack of tea I still have from the good old days in Cork and drinking a cup during lunch -- reminded me of Ireland :P

-Being told I smelt good by a gay man 

-Watching a movie in English class instead of discussion/work. A nice break from things! 

-Receiving a text from Andre while watching the movie in English class :) 

-Reading in the text that Andre comes home in 10 days!

-Treating myself to a white mocha at Starbucks :P

-Going to work (although I didn't really want to at first since it was my 'day off'), receiving hugs from multiple children who said they missed me although they saw me on Friday, how cute!

-A little boy I was helping poked my finger and said I had small bones. Rofl. 

-Finally, a little girl stuck this sticker on my jacket before I left:

And I'm just so happy I'll be able to sleep at a normal time today :D

_________________________________________

What's not so good about today: my left neck gland is completely swollen and KILLS. I can barely turn my head without experiencing pain. But eh, let's just hope it goes away. I seriously was given the worst neck glands in existence, this happens to me quite frequently. One sadface - :(

Reaction to Writing this Paper.

Now that I'm done with this paper, I'm looking at it overwhelmed: did I really write all of this? It really didn't feel like 5 pages to me, more like 2. I was surprisingly not stressed out and going crazy while writing the paper, either. This is so weird. It feels like I didn't write a paper at all. I feel so normal. I'd like to go to sleep, now, though. :P 

Beat That!

Started writing my paper at around 8 AM, finished now at 12:50 PM. It's due at 2:30 PM. 

Assigned Length: 4-5 pages

My length: just a little into 6 pages. 

Although it's not PERFECT, I am proud of my accomplishments.

(And that I didn't overwrite to an extreme amount like I usually do)

I swear I won't ever do this again. I really shouldn't be doing this all of the time. 

Seriously, this is how my WHOLE college career has been like... 

but I get by! With decent grades! So strange.   

COUNTDOWN!

40 DAYS UNTIL SWITZERLAND!!  

Last time I saw Andre: August 28th, 2009 

So 40 is exciting and small and it'll only get smaller :) 

Also... Wednesday marks our third month together!! 

TIME FLIES 

ENGLISH MAJORS

You know you're an English major when there are books scattered all over your floor... 

And when you have no desire to write yet another paper even though it's due tomorrow and you haven't started... meh...

mehh

moments like these I really wish he was here. 

I do believe that

trumpets are the most sexiest instruments :P  

Teresa approves!

Major decision

In high school I wanted to major in Creative Writing once I got to college. I go to a college now where I must major in English and only concentrate in Creative Writing. My first two years of college, I thought I wanted to get my Master's in English and Secondary Education in order to be a high school English teacher. 

Now I've made an official decision: I want to go to graduate school for Creative Writing. I want a MFA in Poetry.

I'm getting tired of English, writing papers all of the time... I feel like my creativity is wasting away. And I don't think I could teach just yet... I believe I would be happier and more comfortable following this path although I am aware I will most likely not have a career...

I finally have a man

My boyfriend is going to kill a calf today, what's yours doing?  

EMPTINESS

I have the emptiest room, ever.

MY ROOM:

-Keyboard. 

-Yellow chair.

-CD tower

-Rug

-big bed

-bookcase

-pile of clothes since my bureau isn't here

-fisherman

What I need to make it complete:

-Bureau

-small desk

-maybe some shelves

-Andre

Getting hit on: always awkward.

So I was running late for work today and I had to walk to get there. The second I left my street I get hit on by some random guy probably in his 40's who is walking with a friend. I was wearing my plum knit hat and this is what happened: 

Me: *walking*

Guy: HEY! I like your hat! Where did you get it?

Me: h&m

Guy: h&m? Nice! I have a daughter your age and she'll love it. I have to go out and buy it for her. What are you, about 16?

Me: No, 20.

Guy: 20!? *jumps up* REALLY? That means you're legal! I'll stop bothering you but my name is Sean *shakes my hand* When you're 40 you'll look 20. Now tell me, am I cute?

Me: Uh... I dunno, you're older...

Sean: yeah, I know but if I was a bit younger, would I be cute?

Me: Uhh... sure.

Sean: Thank you! You just made my day! I think you're really... cute. *crosses the street*

ROFL. epic.

zzZzzz

Falling asleep, one thing I could never fail at. 

Did you hear that ?

I'm a real person!!! 

ahh.

6 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS?!

I need $. I want to shop for gifts :) 

Latest Plan

1) Fly to Switzerland
2) Find the farm 
3) Fight off all of the evil cows that he hates so much
4) Kidnap André  
5) Smuggle him into America 
6) Live happily ever after

That Instrument

I almost forgot that I could play the piano. 

100 lbs

I really want a donut. I'm far from reaching 100 lbs (or 45.5 kg for my boyfriend, just in case he ever reads this).  I really want a 100 lb party...

Christmas List

I'm thinking of what I want for Christmas. My mom said all she's getting me is a winter coat and boots. How nice. 

This is what I really want:

-Sims 3 for my mac 

-Kurt Vonnegut novels (I'm trying to collect ALL of his books)

-CLOTHES 

-CANDY CANE

-ANDRE STUDER. Ok, I guess I get to have him after Christmas <3

-earrings. because I always lose mine. dangly ones because the "studs" infect my ears :P

-nail polish, all of mine seemed to disappear :/

-a necklace... oh it would be awesome to wear St. Brigid's cross again 

Eh, I'll think of other things. 

iTUNES

I should probably add more music other than The Swell Season on my iTUNES... this could get unhealthy :P

Kidnap the Andre

I want to kidnap my boyfriend!!! 

What an ugly coat !

Small World for a Water Girl

Right when I got out of work and started to walk home, I heard a boy yell "TERESA!!" and it turned out to be Gary, the 'freshman' -- or senior, now, at my old high school who coined the nickname Water Girl / used to carry me to the water fountain and made up a song and dance for me. How random!! It was nice to see him, though, and he hugged me twice. He said BCCS misses me. Interesting... 

Argh

I just realized that Christmas is pretty soon and that I must buy presents for people and I'm broke/saving up for Switzerland. :(

A Fairytale

Ghetto Mac

There's a little crack on my "new" macbook. I don't know what to do! 

Falling in Love

Today I became a Prinzessin and André agreed to be my Prinz. =D <3

A Plan

Get fat & take over the world.

Yea, America! 

Virtual Crisis

Farmville: Why do I play it ? It really is pointless. I'm not addicted to it like some people I know, and I have to force myself to harvest my crops, fallow my land, harvest my animals and fruit trees. I would like to delete it, but I'm already on Level 19!! What if I delete it and then want to play it again, I'd have to start from the beginning! 

THANKS

Thank God for Skype. Without skype, my relationship would never work. :P

Trains, books, look-a-likes

On the train going to Suffolk:

There was an ad for the novel "All Souls" displayed in the train. I've never seen an ad for a novel on the train before and it made me happy to see that books aren't dying out. There was a quote from a Boston newspaper, I can't remember it directly but it ended with "Boston's Irish Ghetto." That made me laugh. I received this novel for free in my freshman or sophomore year of high school, since my high school was located in Southie and the majority of students there were residents of Southie. I'm from Dorchester (right on the Southie border), there's a slight rivalry between the two neighborhoods. Anyways, last year I was able to meet the author, Michael Patrick MacDonald, at a book signing at Suffolk. I technically wasn't supposed to be there since it was for students in SU101 but I managed to sneak in anyways. I handed him that old copy of the book I received in high school and he looked at me and asked where I was from. I said "Dorchester" and he said "I thought so." Just by looking at me he could tell I was from around the same area as him. I think it's because I am told I look very Irish. Didn't mean to write so much on this topic.

On the train going to work: 

I saw a grown man reading a Twilight book. Aaah.

"What Should Have Been an Embarrassing Moment"     

I'm used to having this boy named Matt being in a few of my classes (we took Philosophy, Psychology and an English together) and it's weird that he's not in any of them this semester. I left a comment on his facebook regarding this subject. I spotted him yesterday walking out of the library and I said hello, how are you, etc etc. Today as I was on the staircase in Donahue I bumped into him again, or so I thought. I said "Hello again!" and he looked at me with a confused smile and asked, "Have I met you before?" I was sort of in a rush to get to work but that statement made me stop, turn around and ask "Wait, are you not Matt?" and he said "No..." and I said, "Whoa! you look just like my friend Matt, sorry! Hello anyways!" He laughed, said hello and we went our separate ways. Normally one would feel embarrassed in a situation like this but I think in this case he looked so eerily like my friend that it just seems natural for me to think that it was really him. They had the same hair, the same glasses, hat, height, face, clothes... now I'm wondering if the guy I said hello to yesterday outside of the library was the real Matt or not. I need to watch out for this Matt clone...

Mac

mac & cheese is pretty gross

Swiss Chocolate

Everytime I see that Lindt commercial, I think of my boyfriend.

And it makes me miss him... and then want chocolate.

Lindt is trying to brainwash me :O

Stupid Me

I didn't accomplish anything tonight.

I think I'll just sleep, wake up early and do stoof in the morning.

I am so excited for the weekend, skype date with my boy :D

How to Make a Teresa Happy

1) Make her tea. She loves tea. She loves when people know how to prepare her tea (2-3 sugars and milk)

2) Give her a cupcake. Cupcakes are her favorite, especially CHOCOLATE.

3) Give her chocolate. Any kind of chocolate. Chocolate, in her opinion, is nom :V 

4) Present her with a balloon. Balloons make her happy, and more specifically, yellow balloons make her happy.

The Plus Side

Thinking of ways to get fat.
