I am holding half an acre...

New Beginning

So I finally got a new phone. My old one was over two years old and recently started screwing up. My mom's phone had stopped charging because of a bent screw so she told me that we were going to upgrade once my spring break started. The camera on my old phone stopped working and it stopped holding a full charge. After one phone call it would say low battery and eventually I stopped being able to get calls or texts randomly. So my parents and I picked out the phones we wanted and ordered them. My mom ordered them on Monday and they had told us 2-3 days, but they came today! Good looks AT&T.

My mom and dad both got the same Samsung a777 slider phone. My mom got it in red and my dad in blue. It's a good phone for my dad who's only got one good hand since his left side is paralyzed. We got it all set up for him today and so far he really likes it. Originally I was going to get the Blackberry Pearl. I know a few people with the phone and I really liked it. Unlike the other phones, that were free with the upgrade, the Blackberry would have been $50 extra. That was fine since I told my mom that I would pay for it. However after talking to an AT&T representative and looking at their website the Blackberry would have been an extra $30 on the phone bill each month. I don't have the money to pay for that and I didn't want my mom to have to pay it each month. So instead I chose the LG Neon in blue. Almost all of the phones I've own have been LG and I really like them.

It's very different from my old phones. All my previous phones have been flip phones and I've gotten used to using T9 to text. Now I've got a keyboard and it slides open. It's so new, but I'll eventually get used to it.

On a side note -- I really think everyone should check out this band The Vigilance Committee. They're a great band! They're actually a band that was formed at Purchase, which is surprising cause there aren't too many Purchase bands that I like. My parents also like them, and we don't usually have similar music tastes. I think my favorite song of theirs right now is Building Bridges. They also have a Myspace and their own website, http://www.wix.com/thevigilancectte/thevigilancecommittee. Check them out!

Love this

Give me your heart make it real, or else forget about it.

I went to the beach today with Hunter. I hadn't been to the beach on a weekend in a long time so I forgot how crowded it could get. It was still fun though. I never go near the water and I perfer to just tan, sleep, and read. There was a small group of seagulls that kept stalking us though. All in all, it was a fun day at the beach. He drove me home and I took the fastest shower of my life. I stuffed a hot dog down for dinner, I was starving cause I forgot to eat breakfast, and then quickly changed clothes.

My mom gave me some money and a ride to the Jamaica LIRR station so I could catch the 635 train to Woodmere. The line was so long though that I had to buy a ticket on the train or I'd have to wait for the 735 train. It's ridiculous how much extra it is on the train. It would have been 6.25 at the station and it was 11 dollars on the train. It's not that long of a ride. I got a little concerned that I missed the stop because I was so concentrated on my reading. I've been reading the Driver's Manual and taking the online quizzes because I want to take the permit test before I go back to school.

I get off at Woodmere and wait for Jon to pick me up. His friend Josh was in the car so we dropped him off at home and I moved to the front seat. While I moved I passed a younger girl on a bike and smiled. We headed out for some pizza, which made me super excited! I love pizza, haha. Jon got a text from Josh saying that the girl I passed said that I was very pretty. It made me smille :)

We brought a pie back to Jon's house, which I think is pretty awesome. He said most pizza places near him don't deliver, which is so shocking to me cause all the places I know deliver, but I guess it's just an island thing, haha. I finally got to meet his dog, Cody, who I think is so cute. We watched My Best Friend's Girl, which I didn't think I would like really 'cause I'm not a Dane Cook fan, but I thought it was pretty good. After that we watched a Rob Thomas concert, haha. It was a lot of fun. I forgot that I used to be into Matchbox 20. It was so good seeing Jon! I haven't seen him in awhile since he's been working so much. School's going to be great because I'll see him all the time, haha.

On a side note -- Minus the Bear is a really awesome band that everyone should check out. This is my favorite song from them. I love how mellow it makes me feel.

"Cuz I get a thousand hugs from 10,000 lightening bugs as they try to teach me how to dance."

Today was fun fun fun. Kriz, Joi, Sumara and I went to South Street Seaport. It's so nice there. I really wish I could have an apartment there, but I'm sure it's like super expensive. It started off as a really nice day, but then started raining. Sumara eventually had to leave because she had previous plans. Joi wanted to do a photoshoot today. It was a lot of fun. Kriz and I got to be our weird selves. There's this store that is super super cute at the mall. It's called Stone Flower. There's like three different versions of the store at the mall and they're all hiring. Kriz and I put in applications and we have an interview Thursday at 5. I hope we get it. I don't know if they would consider me since I only have like a month left before I go back to school.

There were so many cute things I wanted to buy. There were these gorgeous peep-toe shoes that thankfully they didn't have in my size or else I would have bought them. I did buy thise awesome black watch, Kriz has a brownish one. Her watch looks kinda steampunk. I also bought this pretty purple top. I'm trying to save money and it's not working, haha.

On a side note -- I love this song. Thanks to Jon. The official music video is really cute, but the embedded html was disabled so I settled for this video.
