If you want to read my previous, blocked entry, im me and I'll tell you if you're allowed... :o)
So finally, after two failed donation attempts, I was not anemic!!! They gave me the go ahead, I filled out all the paperwork, I'm lying on the bed...but the woman can't find a vein. She checks the other arm...there's even less of a vein there. Back to the first then. She calls a friend...the friend can't find a vein. She calls a third woman, who thinks she has a vein. Dude, she stabbed me with that damn needle, pushed it, pulled it, wiggled it, then decided I didn't have any good veins. Do you know how much that hurt? So bad I almost cried (and I do NOT cry from pain). Finally big boss lady comes over and she can't find another vein so they take out the first needle (since by now I'm covering my face to keep from crying out). They know how much it hurts, because I'm all unhappy and choked up and the needle is NOWHERE NEAR MY VEIN! It was so bad they were worried about me never coming back...so bad they gave me an ice pack and tried to reassure me about bruising. Owie! ::sniffle:: I need a hug!

LoL...Did anyone else have the Disney sing-a-long tape where they sung that song? They were walking with Donald through the crocodile tours....no? Alright then.
I haven't updated in a long time with stuff about my life, mostly cuz there isn't too much to say. School is killing me, so I'm trying to step up my studying, even though it's against my nature to do so. I haven't really stressed out yet, which I think I deserve a medal for since by now I'd be pulling my hair out usually.
Zee came to visit and it was good times. I went to Salem for Halloween, also good times. Been getting some Xmas shopping done, chilling with friends. I'm going to Philadelphia this weekend to visit with Eric, should be oodles of fun. Then in just...16 days I'll be home for Thanksgiving!!! Yay!!! Went to Chinatown with Dmitriy yesterday to get the tickets, and it wasn't as grand an adventure as I would have originally thought. Actually, we encountered minimal problems...I guess that's good, although it would have been fun to get lost.
For anyone who doesn't know, I'm bringing home a friend of mine for Thanksgiving, she's super nifty and you'll all like her. I promise.
Had a few ups and downs past couple of days cuz of stupid Bush and his abortion laws and Elyssa and junk. But all in all I'm having a good ol' time.
My turtle is starting to get a little sluggish. Silvia will probably tell me he's just getting ready to hibernate....I don't know if I quite buy that...
Alright well, I got a bunch of hwk to do. I'll try and update more frequently but if I don't...I can't wait to come home for Thanksgiving. |

Samhain Night - a Poem by Wren Walker
Beneath the square ___ Of Arthur's Wain The Faery Mounds ___ So long have lain Like sleeping giants ___ On the Land Like dreams we seek ___ To understand.
The Darkest Night ___ Has come around The bay of Hounds ___ The only sound As star-white steeds ___ Race through the wind And branches rattle ___ And dry leaves spin.
Flashing silver ___ Pierces the Moon Swords held high ___ Against the gloom. Wheels of fire ___ Roll on by As shields are raised ___ Against the sky.
Gwynn ap Nudd ___ In white and red Heads the Hunt ___ Of the Ancient Dead Into the realm ___ Of darkened Light A mighty Band ___ Charges in swift flight.
This Night holds both ___ Beginning and end. The Wheel has come ___ Full Circle again. The past and future ___ Come into our sight All becomes One ___ On this magick Night.
Between the heavens ___ And the earth The Way now opens ___ To bring forth The Hosts of those ___ Who went on before- They come riding now ___ Through the Open Door.
Dark Wild Hunters ___ Racing the Year. Time stands still as ___ Past and Future appear Encircled between ___ The Dark and the Light- Together again ___ On this Samhain Night. |

In ancient times, our Lord, the Horned One, was (and still is) the Consoler, the Comforter. But men know him as the dread Lord of Shadows, lonely, stern, and just.
But our Lady the Goddess would solve all mysteries, even the mystery of death; and so she journeyed to the Underworld.
The Guardian of the Portals challenged her: “Strip off thy garments, lay aside thy jewels; for naught mayest thou bring with thee into this our land”. So she laid down garments and jewels, and was bound, as all living must be who seek to enter the realms of Death, the Mighty One.
Such was her beauty that Death himself knelt, and laid his sword and crown at her feet, and kissed her feet, saying: “Blessed Be thy feet that have brought thee in these ways. Abide with me; but let me place my cold hands on thy heart.”
And she replied: “I love thee not. Why dost thou cause all things that I love, and take delight in, to fade and die?”
“Lady,” replied Death, “it is age and fate, against which I am helpless. Age causes all things to wither; but when men die at the end of time, I give them rest and peace and strength, so that they may return. But you, you are lovely. Return not, abide with me.
But she answered: “I love thee not.”
Then said Death: “An you receive not my hand on your heart, you must kneel to Death’s scourge.”
“It is fate, better so,” she said, and she knelt.
And Death scourged her tenderly. And she cried: “I know the pangs of love.”
And Death raised her, and said: “Blessed be.” And gave her the fivefold salute, saying: “Thus only may you attain to joy, and knowledge.”
And he taught her all of his mysteries, and he gave her the necklace which is the circle of rebirth. And she taught him all her mystery of the sacred cup which is the cauldron of rebirth.
They loved, and were one: for there be three great mysteries in the life of man, and magic controls them all. To fulfill love, you must return again at the same time and at the same place as the loved ones; and you must meet, and know, and remember, and love them again.
But to be reborn, you must die, and be made ready for a new body. And to die, you must be born; but without love, you may not be born.
And our Goddess ever inclineth to love, and mirth, and happiness; and guardeth and cherisheth her hidden children in life, and in death she teacheth the way to her communion; and even in this world she teacheth them the mystery of the magic Circle, which is placed between the world of men and of the gods. |

 You are Form 1, Goddess: The Creator.
"And The Goddess planted the acorn of life. She cried a single tear and shed a single drop of blood upon the earth where she buried it. From her blood and tear, the acorn grew into the world."
Some examples of the Goddess Form are Gaia (Greek), Jehova (Christian), and Brahma (Indian). The Goddess is associated with the concept of creation, the number 1, and the element of earth. Her sign is the dawn sun.
As a member of Form 1, you are a charismatic individual and people are drawn to you. Although sometimes you may seem emotionally distant, you are deeply in tune with other people's feelings and have tremendous empathy. Sometimes you have a tendency to neglect your own self. Goddesses are the best friends to have because they're always willing to help.

mood: romantic music: Shall we Dance?

Chem Sucks, but Sinatra rocks my world! And so does the King and I. Lyrics follow.
I have dreamed -- Sinatra, song from The King and I
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely I have dreamed what a joy you'll be I have dreamed every word you whisper When you're close, close to me.
How you look, In the glow of evening I have dreamed...and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What its like to be loved by you I will love being loved by you
In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What its like to be loved by you I will love being loved by you
Shall we Dance - Julie Andrews from The King and I
We've just been introduced I do not know you well But when the music started something drew me to your side So many men and girls Are in eachother's arms It made me think It made me think we might be similarly occupied
Shall we Dance? On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? Shall we dance? Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye? Or perchance when the last little star has left the sky Shall we still be together with our arms around each other And shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen Shall we dance Shall we dance Shall we dance?
Humming
Why do you stop? That's pretty...go on go on! Why no your majesty I didn't realize that...why you see in my country a woman would never dance while a man was looking on But you will dance with a strange man holding hands etc. etc. Well not always a strange man, sometimes a very good friend Good then let's together...show me! Teach Teach Teach Well it's really very simple the bouiquet goes...
1-2-3 and 1-2-3 and 1-2-3 and 1-
Anna: Shall we dance? King: 1-2-3 and Anna: On a bright cloud of music shall we fly King: 1-2-3 and Anna: Shall we dance King: 1-2-3 and Anna: Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye...
King: Oh perchance when the last little star has leave the sky Anna: Shall we still be together with our arms around echother and shall you be my new.... King: Romance Anna: On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen Both: Shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance?
...(They Dance and Count out rhythms)...
King: But is not right A: Yes it is, you're doing beautifully K: Not the way I see Europeans dancing tonight A: Well yes it was, it was exactly like this K: Not holding two hands, like this. A: Well no...no...as a matter of fact, K: Was uh-- like this (takes her in his arms, in proper ballroom dancing position) A: (Whispers) Yes...
They Dance...
Happy sigh...ask me about my King and I theory |

Hey everyone...I'm super duper tired but I thought I'd leave a quick note. Daddy visited this weekend for parent's weekend, which was cool. He has me worried though, he's not his self. I don't know what's up, if it's physical or emotional or what, but it is scary.
It's soooo cold here! OMG, I just walked all the way across campus and I'm freezing.
The Yankee/Red Sox game Thursday...best game EVER! Seriously, soooo good.
I've got the soundtrack from The King and I stuck in my head. As well as the lyrics to this song on Heather's away message: *Somewhere down this road I know someone's waiting. Years of dreams just can't be wrong! Arms will open wide, I'll be safe and wanted Fin'lly home where I belong.* ~Journey to the Past (Anastasia)
So there you have it kids...Gina's 3:30 am life...you know what, the middle of the night can be a very lonely time. Can't wait to see Zee next week! Eeeee!

Unfortunately however, all I have been thinking of lately is chemistry and exams. On an academic level at least. Personally, I have been feeling very shallow and icky. But it's over for today folks. So, if you came to my journal to read about "Timmy, the cute boy next door" or how I got drunk at a party...sorry, not today. Today I have something better. Today I have ideas!
The first thing I would like to discuss are the differences between children and adults. What I would like to point out is that there aren't very many of them. Aside from being capable of living on your own and keeping at least yourself alive, there is no great difference that I can think of. Both children and adults fear things, sometimes irrational things, sometimes rational ones. By the age of five, children are speaking the same language as their parents and, aside from a difference in vocabulary and voice pitch, you wouldn't be able to tell which was the adult or the child. Experience and knowledge are too abstract to be deemed the definitive factor in this matter. There are adults who have few life experiences and have been cared for by someone else their entire lives and there are children who have seen wars and hunger and death by 10. In today's society, or perhaps a generation back, it was not uncommon for a child to exceed their parent's educational level by the age of 12. So, in conclusion, adulthood is an abstract concept. It is not something that you achieve automatically on your 18th, 21st, or 25th birthday. Having children or getting married does not make you an adult. Likewise, experiencing hardships and making it on your own does not mean you will get to stay at Cinderella's Ball past midnight.
Instead, I propose that you are an adult not only when you feel you are...because there are plenty of people who think they are "all grown up" and simply aren't, but also when your adult peers acknowledge you as their equal. It must be a combination of these factors because personally, while I am often accepted into "adult" social functions, I don't feel like one yet. Yes, I'm grown up and yes, if you stuck me in an apartment I would be able to survive and make money. However, for whatever reason, I still feel like a teenager. Perhaps I'm just not ready to give up mommy's lap when I'm sad, or I just don't want all of the responsibilities of tax paying and decision making that come with adulthood. Whatever the reason, I know I'm still just a kid. I have a lot to learn and I'm terribly excited about learning it. And maybe by the end of the year I'll feel grown up enough to consider myself an adult. But for now...I'm not saying that I don't try to do things on my own, or that I sit back and let my parents do everything (if anyone knows them then you know that things would never happen if I left it to them)...I think I'm just happy knowing that mommy and daddy will take care of me should I fail at anything. That's a comfort I don't think anyone really wants to give up.
OK! Moving along! I hope you all understood what I was getting at up there...I'm not sure if I even do...it takes some reading between the lines! For my next topic of conversation...your favorite and mine...religion!
I'm having a religious difficulty. Despite years of believing otherwise, I still find myself thinking in terms of "god" and "jesus." What's worse, I find these thoughts comforting. Now logically, I know that this is just my childhood concepts of divinity and comfort and the "Father God" taking care of all of my needs. But it's still disconcerting. I know that I can never go back to being Christian...I just can't believe in it or have faith in it, but I wish I could. It's such a comforting dream.
I've revamped my idea of religion slightly with the help of some theories I've heard about. So here's the idea. Inside of everything there's the Divine. It's in the space between the atoms of the molecules of every object on Earth and beyond. It beats within you, it makes up the energy field that surrounds your body, it's in your heart and your soul and your mind and your toenails. And for the most part, you know it's there. People have known for millenia. So they think up reasons for this feeling...they create gods. One or many, it doesn't matter. Whatever feels right to you. And this god takes a shape and a form and a personality and then suddenly...it exists. It exists because we as a society or because you personally created it. And not only us, but any being intelligent enough to recognize the Divine and try and put a name or a face to it. You can say "hell no. I'm a Christian. That makes no sense. I have the exact same god as every other Christian, and there are plent of us!" Well, ok but...I'd be willing to bet that your Christian god and someone else's Christian god have differences, somewhere along the line. We all perceive our own divinities in the most comforting away imaginable. That's why religion is a personal thing...because you create it. You give it life and energy and power. No book can tell you what god looks like, no book can tell you why we are here...make it yours, create it for yourself. It's everywhere, identify and accept it. Be comforted by it. Love it.
When I next get the chance and the muse blesses me with enough energy to type that much in one sitting again, I'd like to discuss existentialism. Cuz I don't like it. It bothers me. :oP |

Howdy everyone! Well I haven't updated in a few days and yet a lot has happened. I'll start with a funny story about Silvia. Silvia wakes up in the middle of the night Wednesday night. She starts talking in Bulgarian. I don't know Bulgarian. It takes 5 minutes before she can start speaking English. LoL. It was good times.
So I'm finally home after the bus ride from hell. 7 hrs from Boston to NY. An hour wait for the EB bus, then 35 mins on that. Sigh. Soooooo sleepy! And Kristin and I couldn't sleep on the bus cuz there were hellish people.
Finally I'm home! I saw sooo many people and I was never so happy to be back in my house and with my friends. I missed you all so much! I guess that's it for now...
Love you! Gina |

I love the Yankees. I'm a very faithful fan. But it hurts to watch
They are losing bad Why would they let the Sox Score I know they're better
Oh look! Giambi! What a good boy, hit that ball! We have 2 points now!
I love the Yankees. They're definately the best Go Yankees! Go! Go!
Baseball is stressful Is it all really worth it? Silvia is scared...
I am not insane! I'm a dedicated fan! I don't bash in cars!
So I threw a pen... This sport is emotional! True fans feel my pain
I love the Yankees! I'm a very faithful fan! Keep it up boys...Yay! |

So the Red Sox fans didn't take their win very well yesterday. They weren't proud, or happy. They didn't cheer or cry out in exultation. No. Instead they overturned cars, smashed windows, crushed roofs, cursed, honked, and caused a general riot. What if the Red Sox had lost? I imagine the same things would have happened. It's sad when you can't distinguish between the two.
So it turns out my roomate is a Red Sox fan. This is not cool. I assumed her to be a neutral party. That means until this series is over we will be living in a small, friendly battlefield otherwise known as our dorm room. I look forward to it...good times! :o)
It's on Silvia!
