Woah...it's been awhile [27 Jan 2006|09:17pm] [ mood | okay ] You know it's been a while, when lj informs you that your account has been frozen. Just a quick quick update, I am now attending RIC, and I am still working at Showcase, that is pretty much it, other than that, my life is exactly the same as it was whenever I last talked to anyone who may be reading this. K bye. PS - Has anyone else heard the rumors going around that Nomaaaah may be coming back to us? It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :) meant to be

Laguna Beach [21 Nov 2005|10:59am] [ mood | awake ] Well, Saturday I met a few of the people from Laguna Beach. Taylor, Dieter, Trey, Alex H and Jessica. They were all pretty cool, but Alex H. looked pretty miserable the whole time, so that sucked because I actually liked her on the show. Jessica and Taylor were the two nicest and Trey and Dieter are both awesome as well.   2 / meant to be

Wow, I really never update... [01 Nov 2005|08:35pm] [ mood | bored ] Well even though I'm not doing anything remotely interesting, I figured I'd update since the last time I did was on September 7th. So I'm still at the movies, big surprise, and well that's it. OC comes back Thursday, and well, we know that makes my week complete. ps - Taylor Townsend is a little whore... 2 / meant to be

Minor Update... [07 Sep 2005|10:43pm] [ mood | chipper ] Well since a few people apparently thought I was dead *coughAmicough*, I figured I'd update. Let's see since my last post I have worked pretty basically every day. Also, since I failed to mention it in my last post, I turned 18 on the 20th. That was fun, good people, good time, good night. Hopefully myself and a few other friends will be going up to Hartford to hang out with our friend Mike who goes to school there. That should be fun. Off to watch the OC since the new season starts tomorrow night. Everyone watch! 2 / meant to be

Wicked pissed... [25 Aug 2005|02:07am] [ mood | depressed ] Yeah, so now all of a sudden my mom goes, "You're not ready for American Idol." I'm like "WHAT?!", and she's all "You don't practice enough, blah, blah, blah..." Of course my logical answer is telling her that she's not home enough to even know if I practice or not. Needless to say, it ensued in an argument leading to my exit to my room, nearly in tears. Therefore, I am hereby letting everyone know that I will not be auditioning for American Idol. I have always had my mom's support and without that I'm a little lost. Also, being on American Idol has always been a dream of mine that I hoped she would take a part in. So thank you to everyone that has supported me, knowing that you all care makes this decision even tougher. So don't look for me on tv in January, I will not be there. ps - Why couldn't she have told me this oh, I don't know, like weeks ago, before I got all excited, took time off work, and told everyone and their mom (literally) that I was doing it? 3 / meant to be

American Idol Suggestions??? [11 Aug 2005|11:45pm] [ mood | confused ] Ok everyone, it's crunch time and I neeeeed to decide on an audition song and really start practicing. So everyone that reads this, I am asking you to give me a few suggestions for songs. I have way too many ideas, thus I have really no idea at all. So please, please, please...give me a few songs! 9 / meant to be

Six Flags Fun... [07 Aug 2005|11:17am] [ mood | bored ] Yesterday I went to Six Flags with a few friends, it was fun. The lines sucked and I currently look like a red Crayola crayon, but it was still fun. My friends Holly, Dana, and I did the Skycoaster, and Dana almost broke my arm because she was so freaked out, good thing I was the one who pulled the ripcord or else we probably would have been up there all night. PS - We stopped at McDonald's on the way home and we were there for 35 minutes because they were so busy. So a note to McDonald's: If your restaurant, if we can call it that, is about 15 minutes from an amusement park, and it obviously gets busy every night, not even considering it was Saturday, do you not think that the manager would put more people on the schedule to work? I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work at McDonald's. One person taking orders and one person bagging oreders is not enough, end of story. PPS - True Story. A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholisim is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshiped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too. If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness. meant to be

August 31st, Boston, Mass. 6 a.m. line-up, 8 a.m. start-up I am ready...I think... Your Summer Anthem is Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Your summer will be marked by heartache - but mostly happiness.

I am done! [22 Jul 2005|11:51pm] [ mood | crappy ] I am completely done. Done with what you may ask, well I'll tell you what. For anyone that knows me well they know that I have had a crush on the same guy for a really long time and tonight made me see what a complete and total jackass he really is. So now I am done. He's being blocked on my buddy list and when I do see him, I intend to stonewall him, because he has succeeded in making me like I'll never be good enough. So I guess tonight is really a milestone, because for once I can be telling the 100% truth when I say I no longer like him, as a friend or anything else. 2 / meant to be

One month! [20 Jul 2005|11:25am] [ mood | happy ] Exactly one month until I turn the big 1-8...that's right folks. I, Nicole Nota, will finally be 18. Aside from that, life as of late is pretty boring and I haven't had revelations of any kind so I haven't updated. 2 / meant to be

Do I really even know? [14 Jul 2005|08:41am] [ mood | aggravated ] Sometimes I wonder if I know my friends as well as I think I do. Why is it that I am the youngest one out of all of us, yet still, I'm the mature one, or maybe they just think I'm childish for making sane decisions regarding things that can be permanently damaging. When someone who is basically as straight-edged as you suddenly says, "I really want to smoke weed!," and another going to do it as well, it kind of forces you to reassess them. Especially when pretty much everyone that I know, knows how anti-marijuana I am. It's kind of ridiculous to expect me to be cool with something that I am so against. Enough trouble came to my brother from the small bad habit of smoking weed, and call my crazy, paranoid, whatever...I don't want that to happen to my friends. Anyway, both of them say, "Please don't be mad," when they know how I feel about it. And it's even more insulting when they say, "You know you'll try it one day," because ya know what?...I really won't. So sometimes, I guess it's the people you know best, that you don't really even know at all... The bright spot of yesterday was going to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." It was awesome, and I love Johnny Depp even more that I already did......I also love Oompa Loompas... Oh, also, I'm going to the Sox/Yankees game later...Ami I will look for what it is that you need. 8 / meant to be

Bronson Arroyo is LOVE!!! [07 Jul 2005|02:37am] [ mood | ecstatic ] I'm excited because I might be going to the Bronson Arroyo cd release party next Wednesday! Then I'm defintely going to the Sox-Yankees game on Thursday. Can we all say that I will be having an awesome week? 4 / meant to be

What a week... [03 Jul 2005|10:55am] [ mood | crappy ] Well, my week started off great, I got my job back made plans for this weekend, all that good stuff. Then I found out about Katie's death and I didn't know what to do. I almost felt guilty for having been so happy. That sounds so, I don't know, wrong, I mean I can only hope that she had had a lot of fun since I last saw her at graduation. And I also feel like complete shit because I didn't get to go to the wake. I had planned it all out, I was going to go to Katie's and then meet up with a few people and go to Holly Charette's, but of course every plan has its glitches. I picked up Heidi, then went to meet Steve to go pick up Megan, and then we went to the funeral home for Katie's wake. Of course, the line was to the street and I knew that I'd never make it through the line to pay my respects, so I figured I'd have enough time to go back after the other wake, but I was wrong. And now I feel like shit, because I didn't get to say my last goodbye to a girl who I knew for three years, was never anything but nice, and always made me laugh at least once a day during choir. So, now all I can wonder is, how can I ever make it up to her? 2 / meant to be

Mini Update... [28 Jun 2005|01:14pm] [ mood | cheerful ] I got my job back at Showcase. My first shift is Saturday, 10-6. So come in and see a movie (I recommend War of the Worlds, I saw it last night and it was amazing!)...and of course make sure you say hi to me. 1 / meant to be

Backstreet's Back... [18 Jun 2005|10:46am] [ mood | happy ] Yes, I did just buy tickets to the Backstreet Boys' concert...be jealous. 8 / meant to be

Almost time... [12 Jun 2005|10:26pm] [ mood | depressed ] Well, there is about an hour and a half till graduation day...I can't believe it's over! It's like reality smacking me right in the face, and it sucks. meant to be

Senior Prom 2005 [11 Jun 2005|07:45am] [ mood | happy ] Wow, what a night! Getting ready was the easy part...pre-prom pictures were the difficult part. Matt picked me up at around 3:45 and we took a few pictures at my house, then headed over to Alysia's. I swear I thought I was on a red carpet with all the flashes after everyone was there. I think we took a good 45 minutes on pictures...no wonder she wanted us there at 4. So we finally get in the limo after the "photoshoot" and head to Newport. The limo was Erin, Jesse, Amanda O, Jenn, Matt, Me, Amanda G., Steve, and Alysia, who was hitting on guys through the window. We sang a little, nothing too crazy. I hadn't been to the Newport Regatta Club before, but let me just say that it was gorgeous! Right on the water, nice breeze with all the heat back here in Cranston, it was just beautiful. So we sign in and all that and then wait a little while to get pictures done, which wasn't the best idea, because the line was twice as long when we did get pictures done. We sat with Ami, Tim, Julie, Dave, Jess, Andy, Tara, and Nestor. Dinner was okay, the veggies and mashed potatoes were good, but the chicken was kinda dry. The actual dancing finally started and it was fun. Matt, by the way, is an AMAZING singer, as established on "Hollaback Girl", haha. A special thank you to Megan who requested Britney Spears for me! It definitely brought back some memories from Nashville. Our group photo is going to be awesome! Poor Amanda, she looked beautiful, maybe too beautiful as shown by a fellow student who shall remain nameless to save himself a little embarrassment. Overall the dance was exactly what I imagined it to be, plus some. We went to pick up Kerri, then to Thayer St after prom to walk around a little. We saw Anika, Amanda, and Amanda there. We only had the limo until one so we headed back to Alysia's house. Amanda G went home afterwards, but the rest of us stayed. Matt left around 3:30 since he was going to the West prom with Jen, my fave concessionist ever! We watched a little tv, and I was probably the last one to fall asleep because I can only sleep really well in my own bed, it's a comfort I have I guess of being home, knowing that my mom and brother are safe and there in case anything were to happen. I was also the first one awake the next morning, after being up for most of the 5 hours until 8:30 when I gave up on sleeping. The not being able to sleep could have had to do with Stephen's ridiculously loud snoring! It was all good though, since the morning after was filled with an INCREDIBLE breakfast courtesy of Mrs. Ross. We left Alysia's at around noon since Steve had to drop Amanda, Jenn, and myself off. I showered rested, watched my soaps and then went graduation shopping with Steve at the mall. I got my outfit, but getting him one was more difficult. I like the more classy look, black or gray slacks with a button down, solid shirt, and matching tie, while he was insistent on white pants! I personally hate white pants, the are not flattering no matter who you are, or how skinny you are, plus they get dirty was too easy. Anyway we eventually gave up on the mission and came back to my house and watched Donnie Darko. Dana was going to come over, but had to do some stuff at home for her friend's birthday, so I fell asleep at 10, yes 10, o'clock. And I slept beautifully! Thank you to everyone who made prom one of the most memorable nights of my life! I love you all and you all looked beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, amazing...whatever other adjectives for good-looking you can find. And thanks to Matt for being my date, it was awesome, and I'm glad you had a good time :) Well I'll see you all on Monday, bright and early at 7:45 at East for Prom rehearsal... PS: If anyone complained about the favors for Prom, they can shove it because they weren't involved in taking the time to make them, and they probably never came to class council to voice their opinions, so deal with it, and enjoy the work of your fellow classmates, because we were there until 5 o'clock for a week straight getting them done, along with working on them during school. Also, make sure to thank Mrs. Lisa Ryan, because without her senior year wouldn't have been what it was. meant to be

I love Mrs. Ryan!!! [06 Jun 2005|11:46am] [ mood | ecstatic ] I saw her at school a little whila ago and she was correcting my term paper, and I got an 88, 92, and 95...so basically, I'm awesome. And I'm one of three people in two classes that had no passive voice, making me even more awesome. meant to be

Studying for Finals Sucks! [05 Jun 2005|09:48pm] [ mood | cranky ] Well, I have officially determined that studying for finals sucks. I didn't realize how many physics formulas there were in the last half of the year until about 15 minutes ago when I finished making my note cards for the exam tomorrow. And math sucks, it used to be favorite subject, and now I hate it because I was absent when he taught derivatives for all of two days so now I'm completely lost and that's half of my final. Well, at least I get to go shopping after my exams, and tanning (hoping I don't get burned...again). Oh, and I get my English final grade tomorrow, and my term paper back, so I'll know if I completely suck in that subject too. meant to be
