If anybody can make me Peep Show icons, I will love you forever and make you cookies and give you a million dollars.
I've looked everywhere and found almost nothing. Thanks!

9:47 pm - Peep Show
|
I miss waaaay back in the day, when I actually posted on here and had a bunch of friends who posted, too. Oh well, time goes on, and I got old. Bah.
Just posting tonight to say that evvverrryyybody needs to watch Peep Show. Not just my fellow anglophiles, everyone.
http://www.sidereel.com/Peep_Show
It's the best show on television. Unfortunately, it's not on television in America, so you need to watch it online. The quality's fine though, and it's amazing. You will not regret it. It's even better than The Office, both the UK and US versions. I feel a little bit guilty and disloyal writing such a thing, but I can't help it, Peep Show is just that good. I used to watch it the semester I lived abroad in London, which is the same time the first series was airing. Now they're about to start airing series 5. A couple of months ago, my friend who also spent time in England and also loved the show found the link to all of the episodes for free. All four series, which I finished in a matter of days. It was kind of gross, but what can I say... I'm addicted.
I've since gotten at least 2 friends of mine as hooked as I am. And it's one of my prime goals in life right now to spread the Peep Show love to as many people as I can. If you possess a sense of humor, you'll enjoy it. If you appreciate British humor, you'll love it. If you're bland and stiff and hardcore politically correct to the extreme, you'll hate it.
Watch.

2:04 pm - It's been a kajillion years since I posted in here
|
I started a new blog not even 2 months ago. It's "secret." I like it better that way, I don't have to worry about accidentally offending anyone I know, I can be as honest as I want to be, I don't have to use names, I can write about my personal reflections on life, society, culture, religion, education, etc., without people in my personal life getting upset with me or irritated or whatever the case may be. I can write about situations in my life over the past few years that have been terribly damaging and traumatic, but without naming names or giving any concrete details. I can write about my secrets without anyone finding out they're mine. I like it.
Of course, I did tell my sister, Sarah, about it, and my ex-boyfriend/awesome friend Thrad has seen it too. I pretty much could not possibly offend either of these people, even if I tried. Sarah basically sees every situation in life the same way I do. We share the same views about just about any issue you could suggest. And Thrad knows every situation that has ever happened in my life, and it wouldn't even be possible for him to discover something "secret," since he knows it all already anyway. Hell, he lived with my family for awhile, there's nothing he doesn't know.
Anyway, update on my life. I'm taking a semester leave of absence from graduate school, for a thousand and one reasons, and it's what's best for me right now. I live in PA again, thank God, and will never live in New England, ever again, ever. It's beautiful, especially in the fall, but it could never feel like home to me, even if I lived there 70 years. Mom's still with Max, and it's adorable, and I love it. I'm single, and I thought I would love it, but considering all the circumstances and details, it sort of sucks. Remember that time I was a human being who actually had feelings? Remember that time I wasn't repeatedly carelessly cast aside like garbage because I'm obviously insignificant and do not matter? Yeah, I really don't either. Vaguely, maybe. And, haha, fuck, it's not just people I date. WTF Evan. My fucking friends do it too. For no reason. I am not a great person, and I know that. But I am a good one. I treat people well. I'm good to people. I care. And in return I'm walked all over and cast aside like I'm nothing. Not that I'm good to people because I want anything in return, but I certainly never expected that being "nice" would lead to people thinking I'm nothing and being so blatantly uncaring and heartless and 100% forgetting that I'm a person. Three times in not even a year, people I knew would never treat another person like they way they ended up treating me, did. Three times, people I honestly cared about and really believed were genuine, sincere people have cast me aside like trash. And I know, it would seem that the first one was the worst of these, right? Since he cheated on me a billion times and hid it from me for a grand total of a period of a year and a half, the span at which all 4 people and all million times happen? That should be the worst of them all, right? It's not. God. At least he showed remorse and gave a fuck when reality hit and he realized what I'd been through. At least he apologized, grew from it, made an effort to show me I mattered and made an effort to try to make amends. Evan and the inaccurately dubbed "Brad Pitt" of recent months? Fuck that, I don't even get a mother fucking explanation, let alone anything else. Evan had been my friend for six years, six, and he - for no reason - dropped me, stopped answering my messages and calls, and then deleted and blocked me, for nothing. No, it's not just that I'm missing something and maybe didn't realize that I did or said something that offended him. I didn't do a fucking thing. Not one, not ever. It was out of nowhere, and for no reason. Oh, no, I know the reason, don't get me wrong. His girlfriend doesn't want him to have friends unless they have a penis. And he's weak, so he obeys her commands. But it's not like he ever even so much as explained that to me. He didn't say a thing. Nothing. I stopped trying, because what the hell else can I do? And the guy I was dating for the last couple of months of last year? Who was also my BEST friend for awhile? I did NOTHING. Nothing. I was never mean to him, I never said or did ANYTHING that could have offended or irritated or hurt him. I didn't do anything. Nothing. Not one thing. Nothing. And he's the one who started every single aspect of this, he's the one who continually told me how amazing and spectacular I am, who said I'd impressed him, blown him away, etc., and I believe he meant all of it, which only reinforces that I didn't fucking do anything to deserve this. Last time I saw the guy? Over a month ago, day before new year's, when he came to my house, he slept with me (again, which, for the record, he doesn't take lightly), hung out with my freaking ex boyfriend and I (Thrad was staying with us for a couple days), watched movies, played around on his mac laptop, etc., whatever, and then dropped me. Kissed me goodbye, got in his car, drove away, and stopped responding to my messages, hasn't once called me, and I made one last effort in a fucking snail-mailed letter that wasn't even that long but expressed my bewilderment, and I asked him to at the very least, just talk to me, tell me what's going on. I even said that I honestly didn't care if he had to lie to me, just give me SOMETHING. Some reason. Don't care what. The sudden and undeserved silence is worse than anything he could possibly say. I know he received it at least a week ago, and I've heard nothing, and I'm not even surprised at this point. I do not deserve this bullshit treatment. I don't. I don't fucking care if he wants to get back together with his ex girlfriend, which I suspect may be part of it. I knew all along that he broke up with her very recently and I knew all along that I didn't want anything serious and neither did he, and I knew all along that it would either go somewhere or it wouldn't, and either way was fine. We were friends first, and I loved talking to him, maybe more than anyone, and I wish with all of my heart that I had not gone to that damn law school formal with him. I wish his girlfriend at the time hadn't had another obligation, I wish she'd gone. I wish I was still talking to him now. There's absolutely nothing he can say at this point that would be worse than discarding me like garbage. Nothing.
Fuck it, I don't really want to update anymore. I'm drained now and there's a ton more to say about other aspects of my life that are probably a lot more important, but I'm done.
Also, this is the first Valentine's Day in 9 years that I'll be by myself, and under normal cirucmstances that wouldn't bother me. I love everything about this holiday, I'm a hopeless romantic, and I'd love it whether I was married 78 years or totally single like I am now. But given the past year of constant letdown and being treated like shit, I'm not entirely enthusiastic about it this time around. The end. Love, Meghan.

I haven't written in here in a very, very long time.
I am empty. I'm alone. There's nothing up here for me. I've decided I'm transferring to a grad school in PA with the MFT program, if I even continue with MFT at all. I really thought that it was the right path for me when I went into it, but I don't feel that way anymore, really. I feel rewarded for what I do, but I don't love what I do. I don't even like it, most days. I come home feeling sad and unable to separate myself from the problems of my clients. Well, anyway. Maybe I won't stick with my MFT, I haven't decided, but if I do, it will be in PA.
I could stay here in NH. I could be strong enough. I am strong enough. I could stay here. But for so long, so long, I have had to be the strong one, stronger than almost anybody knows. All the time. And now I have to be that way again. And I'm tired of it. For once, I don't want to be the strong one. I just want to be the happy one.
If what happened in my history wasn't enough, the one person I 100% trusted betrayed me. And I know it was a mistake and he is sorry and I do know it won't happen again. But he has yet, a month and a half later, to remove her (the worst one of the four) from his facebook or buddy lists or probably even phone. I am quite certain they are still talking. I can't take this. And he thinks that because he said and did everything perfectly right after he told me, when I was so angry and he almost lost me, he said all the right things that I know he meant and still means. But he thinks that because of that, he doesn't have to keep saying them. And that's bullshit. I need it now more than ever. Is it really so fucking hard to say, "You're the only one I want" more than once a month or when you think you might lose me? I NEED that, after all of what happened. And my sister told him to send me flowers, he said it was a great idea and that he would, but he didn't. I hate that I even care about trivial crap like that.
I am empty. I have nothing. I have nobody. This is the loneliest corner of the earth. at least when i'm in pa I have familiar people and things around. I can't do this. even if i go home, can i do this? can i stay with him now? but how do I leave the person who's been my other half for years? I have this nausea-inducing feeling that either way is going to break my heart. I'm empty.

Alright, so it's safe to say I lied when I said I'd go back to regularly updating. Oops.
So Disney was great, lots of pics on my webshots http://community.webshots.com/user/iris3822
The sleep thing has been getting a lot better lately. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much that this is a permanent development, since it does tend to come and go in cycles. But for now at least, I'm happy with it.
So about this whole Mari getting fired for "spiritual differences" crap.... WHAT THE CRAP? No. I'm pretty steamed. And this not long after the whole getting fired for being gay thing. It's such bullshit. People are idiots. It's not okay, and I hope she gets 239874239 dollars in compensation.
Still hooked on essembly, that's nothing new!
A couple weeks ago Cameron and I passed our 2 year mark, so that's all cute and stuff. I got very pretty earrings, and a cute card, and once again he did a great job. He always does!
Out of nowhere last night I had the weirdest dream involving the kid (well, he's like 27 now) I had a huge infatuation with all throughout high school. Nothing important really happened, he was just kinda there and we were hanging out in Camp Hill. Haha in reality we "hung out" in algebra class and study halls and that's about it, but still. Random dream.
My shows won Emmy awards last night! The Office won best comedy (no surprise, it's only the best show ever) and 24 won best drama (because it too is the best show ever). I was pleased.
So everyone just went back to college. Adam, Cameron, a number of other friends I have who are going into their last year of undergrad, everyone's starting classes, and I find myself sort of jealous. Going back to college was the greatest, I loved it. I loved going back to that great environment wherein your friends are right down the hall or across campus and you see 293847 people you know every day, no plan-making is really needed to hang out with any particular friend at any particular time, it just kinda always happens. No weekend is ever uneventful, you never really HAVE to be bored, I just loved it. So for anyone reading this who IS still an undergrad - don't be counting down until graduation! You're going to miss this atmosphere when it's all over!
So here is some exciting news. Exciting to me that is. Today is the first day in nearly two years that I have been off birth control pills. And I will never take another one again. YAY! No more weight fluctuations and mood swings and health risks! I'm getting an IUD, the hormone-free variation. They're super tiny, so I won't know it's there (nor will, well, anyone else). It can stay in anywhere from 10 to 12 YEARS, 99% affective, and I can have it taken out anytime I want in the next 10 years, or I can keep it in the whole time. Whicheva eva I want. My favorite part, the very best part, is *no hormones.* I am so happy about this, it's ridiculous. Oh, and it is NOT "equal to abortion," despite what some super fundamentalist right-wingers may suggest. Um, let's go with "not even close to abortion." There can't be a baby if there's no implantation, and implantation is exactly what IUDs prevent. So no. There's more to pregnancy than conception and labor. There can not ever be a child if there is not any implantation. With an IUD there will not be any implantation. Hence, there was never a baby OR a "potential baby" in the first place.
So anyway yes, yay for hormone free bc!
Damn you television. The new upcoming season of The Bachelor takes place in Rome, and I really really really really SO MUCH REALLY want to go there, and seeing the commercials for this silly show just makes it worse haha. Seriously, Italy is my #1 top destination. I don't know why I keep insisting on spending money on food and clothing and rent and gas when I could be living in a box, eating grass and rotating between two ratty sets of pajamas and saving my money for a trip to Italy. It makes a whole lot more sense, really.

Anyway. So. In other news, it's still really amazingly hot. I went to the pool this morning/afternoon, it was niiiiiiice. I usually just go and kinda lay there by the pool with my book, but today I swam around for a little, then stood in the pool by the edge with my book (Angels and Demons! Yay Dan Brown!). Chlorine used to make me sick and I used to hate and despise bathing suits (for every reason. I hated the way the material felt, wet and dry, too), never thought I'd be so happy to have a pool at my residence. I've got AC in my room, and I've been using it, but I keep turning it on for an hour, turning it off, turning it on, turning it off, so it gets the room really cool and I can give it a break until the coolness goes away. Our electric bill is going to be crazy this month. But I'd rather not talk/think about money. At all.
Family matters are getting to me again, I was cool for a few weeks but then I heard more news and now I'm feeling that crazy need to implode again. Ahh well it'll pass. Right? For the most part.
16 days until Disney, YAY!

9:57 pm - Agapeland. Nostalgia.
|
It's Andrew Erb's birthday today. Would anyone reading this even know Andrew Erb? Adam does, Cara, possibly Todd, Thrad but he doesn't use LJ anymore, and I think that's it. He's a friend of mine going way back to the Agapeland days. A few days ago I came across some old pictures from back in the day, from several summers of Agapeland, and I have since spent the past few days being nostalgic. Missing people. A couple days ago I heard from Pete Fetterman, incredibly randomly and for the first time in almost seven years. Last time I saw Pete was EYE, it was after he'd moved out of PA, and he was there with the Louisianna diocese. I remember seeing him in that little patio area at ISU and being surprised as hell that he was there. Hung out with him, as well as a bunch of other fantastic people, all week long, then after that no one could find him. Then I heard from him. Seven years later. Crazy. And I miss him, miss 'em all. I've been in very brief contact with Ginger Leigh on facebook, but she doesn't actually use it as her roommate set it up for her and she's been on it all of maybe twice. She did give me her phone number though, months ago, I don't know why I haven't used it yet.
( So much remembering )
And, well, that's all. Just felt like getting it out.

Damn it. So I just wrote a somewhat lengthy email to the lovely Jennifer, much of which was about missing the san diegans and san diego and lamenting that I couldn't come this summer and wishing they could come here and hoping I can still go there this fall, etc. And now that I wrote it all, I REALLY miss it. I would steal things to pay for a trip out there. Big expensive things. If any of you guys ever come out here I will do a dance of joy.

Who knows you better, your best friend or boyfriend/girlfriend?: in a way my best friend and my boyfriend are one and the same person, so it can't be answered. in another way there are few good friends i've grown up with, who've known me forever and in the sense that they share a history with me know me better than anyone else in a way. in another way there's someone clear across the country who knows a lot of my thoughts better than probably anyone, as she's been a journal to me for two years. and then there are the sibs.
82. What has been your longest friendship/relationship? (in terms of most/years): longest friendship so far, 12 or 13 years. longest relationship so far, 2 years.
83. Are you a gossip?: i don't believe so. i hope not.
84. Are you polygamous?: nope
THE FUTURE
85. Ideal career?: something which would be fun, allow me to work when i wanted to, answer to no one, vacation where and when i so desired, that i would be good at and enjoy, and make me loads of money. if anyone knows of anything that would meet all of those qualifications, do let me know.
86. Ideal Place of Residency?: i'll tell ya once i've traveled to more places.
87. Want kids? how many?: 3ish, 4ish, somewhere around there
88. What are you doing now in order to obtain these goals?: i graduated college.
89. Do you think you'll age well (parents are a pretty good indication)?: probably, I don't smoke, I take care of my skin, eat heathily with my one vice of ice cream, exercise adequately. Neither of my parents really look their age, especially my dad. So if that's any indication I'll probably be alright. Oh yeah, that and the fact that i will NEVER LOOK MY AGE, and it will probably be another 5 years before anyone even believes I'm not a high school student.
90. Are you scared of death?: yeah

I'm in Vermont right now. Redhead's at class and I should be doing my homework. I'll get on that in a few.
Just wanted to say belated happy valentine's day, and that I love Jen ["Joshy"] for the lovely valentine she sent me.

My father is the most decent, wonderful, terrific, incredible man in the entire world. Period. There has never been any doubt in my mind on this fact, but today it's been re-established.
That's all.

p.s.
"I could care less"
I always thought I was the only person really bugged by that phrase, but apparently Sarah gets it too.
That phrase is incorrect and used in a way that it makes no sense. But people still use it constantly.
It *should* be:
"I couldn't care less."
If you COULD care less, then clearly you care somewhat.
If you COULD NOT care less, then you're saying what the phrase is meant to imply, and what people use the incorrect version to imply all the time, that you do not care at all, it means nothing to you, as you *could not care less*.
goodnight, monastery in the morning.... I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the re-defeat of Bush.

Worked phonathon tonight for a little over three hours. my second night doing it, and really, it isn't bad at all. i haven't gotten any actually *mean* people, which is good. i've been told it's inevitable though, and i'm sure it will happen, but so far, i've gotten friendly alumni who want to give us money.
then at the end of the night we're permitted to stay 10 or 15 minutes and make a call to anywhere in the country, free of charge, to anyone we want. YAY. so i tried to call san diego, and something unexpected occured - ringing! i haven't tried to call in a couple months but previously i tended to get busy signals. unforunately, the ringing continued and there was no answer. miss youuuu guys, one of these days we'll get in phone-touch. and also, i keep saying i'm going to go there, and i know that earlier this month i told you i'd come out asap, but let's suffice it to say i had unexpected financial issues. but okay, working now, so really this time, i'll save up and go, maybe even this semester. dunno, dunno.
i had a massive headache the whole night at phonathon, blehhh. and i had tylenol in my purse... ha but see the problem is the tylenol is my Tylenol PM that i take as sleeping pills every night to combat the insomnia. i decided against knocking myself out in the middle of work, and instead endured the headache.
RASCAL FLATTS (again) in three weeks and 4 days! who's counting though? Feels Like Today coming out on Tuesday.
K 'tis a bit later now, i just went to see locrian at mj's. in all my years here i've never heard them, but yay they're very incredibly good. seriously. and now, it is 11:20 and i am for whatever reason sleepy enough to fall asleep NATURALLY. no sleeping pills tonight i believe. i dont' know why this would be but yeah i'm all for it. yay drug-free sleep! it rarely happens to me anymore. but currently i am unable to keep the eyes open, so, night night.
