FACEBOOK IS THE DEVIL

That's why.

Merry "Jesus" Day!

I wanted to wish you all (OR YA'LL) a very happy day of Christ! Today was a good day. It really is becoming LIBERATING to be single again! SINGLE! Oh, the possibilites that word brings. It opens the door for new love to come in and that is exciting! Because now new and better things are just going to come through! YES! THANK GOD FOR BEING SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank GOD for FAILED RELATIONSHIPS!!!!

Anyway, I'll stop using the blogg to vent my current bitterness. BUT, I am doing wonderful and am very happy to be SINGLE and the amazing Amir that I am! YES!

Oh, AND question: WHY ISN'T DANIEL ON THE FACEBOOK? Is it just me, or does this also make everyone really mad! WHY? WHY? FOR WHAT REASON? CLEARLY we can fix this! So, Daniel, you have 48 hours to comply before we take the situation into our own hands and take the necessary measures! OH, we've done it before, ask Mary Ellen!!! HAHAHA!

okay, that's it for now. Sorry no pictures this time around. I can't wait until we all hang out! MISS YA'LL!

Love Amir Rashad

Is it from Mars?

So, I was driving the other day, and I was at a stop light, and I look to my right and *boom*, I see this piece of work? IN AMERICA! IN LOS ANGELES! ? So, I have to know, what is it??? For real? I mean, I really did 'just happen to have my digital camera with me,' so I took some snaps of it. I mean, is this the wave of the future? Is it from another planet? ARE EUROPEANS TAKING OVER AMERICA!!!??? What is going on? I just have to know.

It looks like a car ran other another and than was smashed. WHOA!

Love ya!

That's the kind of dog I've always wanted! I have heard they are totally crazy though. Is it true? Oh well, I guess it would be a good fit for me. So how many of those guys are you dating Amir? Can't wait to see you all soon!

PS - I think target wants to hire me. I'll keep you updated.

I guess it's my turn...

Cleary I don't know what to say. The last couple of bloggs have been wonderful! I share the same feelings! I am so excited and counting down the minutes until I am on a flight to NC. *sigh* I can't wait. But can we please can we PLEASE all go out. I'll cry. I'll go crazy! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

I am doing good. I really am okay! I've included some more pictures! (I love pictures), so you can see my WHITE friends! HAHAHA! Well, asian and hispanic TOO! Here are some pictures of fellow PA's! You can see the whole folder by going to the photo section on Yahoo. Just search for englishmir. DO IT! And that dog is Dick Clark's CRAZY dog. His name is Henry, named after Henry the 8th (if that doesn't tell you anything) (the song).

Miss you all so much. Soon we will be in each other's company. That is going to be the Greatest Christmas gift so far! I really love you all.

OK cam and ME, you better try hard to make me cry

See folks! Now those were some great posts. This is exactly what our little blog needs to become the hub of friendship it was designed to be. I remember that day now and how special it was to me that you guys came to the library to cheer me up. I should have known then that years later, we would all still be clinging to each other, even if only through this blogness. Mary ellen, I am so glad that these people in italy finally showed you what we have known all along...basically that you are amazing. I cant wait until we can all have a get together like that and scream. LOTS. Definitely count me in on the plans...I will do whatever it takes to get there.
Nothing much going on on the home front. I joined the gym, if that tells you anything about how determined I am to stave off boredom over the holidays. Also, I am going to Target on monday in Charlotte for a meet and greet/job interview type event, so think of me. I've never really done a job interview before, so this could be a hot mess. I'm just trying to get out there and get started. So kelly, see your future in a fews years. I'm also applying to several residency programs, but we'll talk more about this when I actually SEE you all! For those of you who were there, I'm envisioning mary ellen and me at third eye blind, except times 100. Cam, you can tell them how scary that will be. AND IT WILL BE ALL OF US. I may come to CH afterwards, so kel and cam, give me a call or ill call you, etc. Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

woot!

Hey everyone...I wanted to tell you guys about *possibly* the best night I've had in Italy, last night. As you probably know, the program here is really small - 12 people - and I like them all, but it's been kinda a rough semester (more so in the beginning than now, but still) because with friends as AMAZING as you guys...well, it's just tough to top that, basically. I've definitely bonded with some people but it's nowhere near what we have, which is just really frustrating for me. Well, yesterday, we were planning on having "family dinner," which is just when everyone in the program gets together and someone cooks and we all hang out and then go out. I was NOT feeling it. I really don't like going out in the city, I always get nervous, and I was kinda tired...plus I had to kill the whole afternoon in the city before dinner, which sucks. I kept asking people if they wanted to hang out, and it was like everyone was busy but with really shitty stuff to do, like not important at all. Finally one of my good friends (Rita) just told me I could come to work with her and hang out since no one else from her work was going to be there (she works in an art gallery). We basically sat around and watched downloaded season 3 OC epsides (yesss...Amir, I can just see you rolling your eyes. They were downloaded ANNNND the OC, a what, a WHAAAT!). Then we went over to Aglayah's house, she was cooking dinner and we wanted to help her carry the stuff over to the place we were eating. But we just stayed there FOREVER. I kept asking if we should go over, and Rita just kept being like, no no no, I want to relax, I don't want to go yet...so FINALLY we went, and when we got to the door we could like HEAR everyone inside but no one came to open it. I was really ticked off, I was kinda crabby, and I turned to Rita and Aglayah and I was like, what the fuck is the problem? Just open the door already. So, finally, John opens the door and goes, "sorry! we were just um...cooking...cleaning..." which was really weird because clearly Aglayah had the food. Anyway. I walked in and all the sudden everyone is like "AGJSKLDG:SDFHHJKGJKLASDLJKLLJK!LJK!!!!" or at least that's what it sounded like to me...I had NO idea what was going on. This is exactly what went throug my head: "Wait...what? Who's birthday is it? Why is everyone shouting? Is it my birthday? When is my birthday? What the hell..." and then I saw a sign that said, "Happy Graduation, Mary Ellen!" and I realized they had thrown me a surprise graduation party!!! I was SOOO shocked and surprised I almost started to cry. It was SO sweet. Everyone hugged me and then they gave me my presents, which were all really cute (and included an INCREDIBLY huge can of beer which I then had to drink). I was so touched. I really couldn't (and still can't) believe that they did that for me...I mean, I knew I had made some friends but I always felt like everyone else was BETTER friends but whatever, you know? But last night was so wonderful...we all hung around til like 11:30 then we went out dancing...ALL of us, this is the first time all semester we have ALL gone out together adn everyone has stayed out the whole time, I didn't get home til 4. It was SOOO much fun, all night everyone was like, it's Mary Ellen's party!!! We gotta go all out!!! And everyone was just dancing and having a great, great time. It was REALLY fantastic. It was so funny because I had just been thinking that day that WHY WASN'T IT THE 23RD YET!!! so I could get home to people who REALLY cared about me!!! and then had that realization that people care about me here, too. Sigh. Really wonderful.

Anyway...Cameron, your post almost made me cry, too. Aww...that was such a fun day. Except for the Molly and Zoey part. But whatever! yay, Breakfast Club! I miss you guys SOOO much...I'm looking forward to some more good times like that. Listen, we need to pick a night before Amir heads back to LA to all go out together -- like a NICE dinner (even though I am POOOOR/broke) and do some throwback stuff and really have fun. It will be so amazing to be all together again!!!

I LOVE YOU!

WOW.
