I’ve been neglecting this site for well, years now. I continue to pay yearly and monthly for this domain but I’m not sure if it’s worth it anymore. I’ve grown up so much this past year at college. I admit it’s got something to do with joining a sorority. I spent my early teenage years absorbed in the internet and webdesign. I’ve gotten more connected to the “real world” since then. The internet’s still fun. I facebook about twelve thousand times a day. But I don’t feel the need to seek validation through blogs and whatnot anymore. I still love photoshopping and sharing my artwork with others. Maybe I just need to revamp this site. Turn it into a portolio. Maybe I’ll buy a new domain. We’ll see when it’s time to renew ms.com.

In other news, this summer is going swimmingly. I went to Boston for about a week for my sorority’s national assembly, which was held in NYC. I stayed with my big sis for a weekend then at my pledge sis’ apartment. Most of the time I drank, and slept, partied, and slept. We went to gay night at a club with a straight frat guy. Hilarious! The assembly itself was boring. There was also some drama involving a 21+ club. Some of us are not yet 21, ahem, me. But whenever you get a big group of girls together, there’s bound to be drama. I’m glad everything was sorted out. There was screaming, tears, apologies, more apologies. Like one of my sisters said, sisterhood is so much more than a simple friendship. Despite everything that happens, at the end of the day, we’re still sisters. I’m still fairly new to greek life, but from what I’ve experienced so far, it’s true.

Coming home from college was a bit of a rough transition. No more drinking. No partying every weekend. My parents would kill me if they ever found out I drink! My friends at home don’t drink either. It seems like our lives are all so different now. During high school we all took the same classes, our common goal was to go to college. Now we’re in college, we’re all going in different directions. I’m not even sure which city I’ll end up in. I still have some fun in my old hometown. I saw the fireworks with my friends on July 4th. I went to the Harry Potter midnight show the other night. My sister dressed up as Cho Chang, haha. And I’m going to the zoo this weekend. If only there was a way to combine my life here and my life in Boston!

Major, major updates. First of all, I got rid of the splash page. It had served its purpose years ago, but now it’s just pretty much useless. Also I finally launched SAPPHIRE, my portfolio site. It’s where I will be storing all my artwork. Updated pages: added more ICONS, fixed the GAMES, new guess the CELEB, guess the LYRICS, and guess the MOVIE. I am currently working on a photojournal.

So, I didn’t see POTC yet. My sister kinda spoiled it for me. Damn you, Elizabeth Swann! But I did see The Devil Wears Prada. It wasn’t that great of a movie but I loved the outfits in it! It made me want to go on a shopping spree. Sigh. How I wish I could afford those clothes. Anyway, I went with a friend I hadn’t seen in ages. We caught up on our college lives and gossiped about people we hated in high school. Then I realized how much I missed high school. I didn’t really know I was supposed to be enjoying those last years of freedom. I wasted all my time taking AP classes that I can’t even use in college! So a note to all you high schoolers out there. Take it easy. Look around you and remember it cuz everything’s gonna change once you leave. I’m so glad I keep in touch with old friends. One of them is doing an internship in South Dakota right now. She’s working with homeless people and poor children. Wow. I’m just screwing around at home, sitting on my ass and she’s out there trying to make the world a better place. I suck. Anyway, I should end this now. My fingers are getting tired.
