If you are reading this, leave one memory of you and me together--it doesn't matter if I know you a little or a lot, anything you remember. Next, post this in your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

1) Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3) I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7) I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8) If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST.

since i will be sort of joining the professional world, i feel as though i should have a more adult screenname... so i will be using...

sonijya1

as my primary screenname instead of rubyfox7. so add it if you don't already have it.. and start using it. thanks!

Comment here and I'll tell you something I adore about you. Then post this in your LJ and spread the love.

I'm set to get a trim next weekend, but I wonder.....

...should I cut my hair? And if so... how should I cut it?

Does anyone have The Garden State Soundtrack and/or the two Strokes CDs? And if so, may I please burn them?

Make sure you don't post anonymously.

Post a memory of me in the comments. It can be anything you want. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what people remember of you.

new york rangers are love

If there is one person you can't stop thinking about, post this same exact sentence in your journal.

In this day and age, is it important to declare a minor? Especially if it's your last semester and you could take interesting classes instead, and you've already got enough extracurricular activities to make a good resume.

Please respond.

You Know You're From North Jersey When...

You live within 45 minutes of at least three different malls. Someone at the beach once called you a benny. You can see the New York City skyline from some part of your town. You know what CCM is and a good percentage of people from your high school go there. You've seen or been in a fight between a Rangers fan and a Devils fan. You have or know someone with mafia connections too. You think the New York Jets should be called the New Jersey Jets. You have at least one friend who drives a truck. You've been camping. You've been in a town or city where Spanish is spoken more than English. You can't remember when Clifton didn't win a softball championship. You know where to get drugs in Paterson, Newark, or New York. You've been to a party in the woods. You've purchased fireworks in Chinatown. You played in a P.A.L league. You liked the Jets even before this season. You know where to get a freshly cooked Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwich at 2 a.m. You've been to the Sussex County Fair. You remember Action Park and may have been seriously injured there. At some time you got on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall. Z-100 used to be your favorite radio station, now it's K-Rock. You think people from South Jersey talk funny. Every single place you've ever worked had a "back" that was entirely staffed by hispanic people with the radio blasting salsa music. Most of your friends are at least 2 different ethinic groups (probably one of them being italian) You'd rather be getting tortured in the jungles of vietnam than on ANY highway in north jersey at rush hour. You think that even people living in South Jersey are hicks. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from North Jersey.

ANNNNND (some of these repeat, but oh well)

You Know You're From New Jersey When...

You've been seriously injured at Action Park. You know that the only people who call it "Joisey" are from New York (usually The Bronx) or Texas. You don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges." You know that it's called "Great Adventure," not "Six Flags." You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast. You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven. You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned or drunk, at 3 am. Whenever you park, there's a Camaro within three spots of you. You remember that the "Two Guys" were from Harrison. You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery. At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know what town Jon Bon Jovi is from. You know what a "jug handle" is. You know that a WaWa is a convenience store. You know that the state isn't all farmland. You know that there are no "beaches" in new Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway." You know that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree. Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs, and, you call it a "sub" not a "submarine sandwich" or worse yet, a "hoagy" or a "hero." You remember the song from the Palisades Park commercials. You know how to properly negotiate a Circle. You knew that the last question had to do with driving. You know that "Acme" is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros creation. You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try ...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire (doesn't work, does it?). You know how to translate this conversation: "Jeet yet?" "No, Jew?" You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City." You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich. You consider a corned beef sandwich with lettuce and mayo a sacrilege. In the 80's you wore your hair REALLY high. You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny. You know that the real first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 22. You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters. The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar. You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls. You can see the Manhattan skyline from some part of your town. You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall. You've eaten a Boardwalk cheesesteak with vinegar fries. You have a favorite Atlantic City casino. You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls. You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers. Every year you have at least one kid in your class named Tony. You know the location of every clip shown in the Sopranos opening credits. You know that people from North Jersey go to Seaside Heights, and people from Central Jersey go to Belmar and people from South Jersey go to Wildwood. You weren't raised in New Jersey -- you were raised in either North Jersey, Central Jersey or South Jersey. You don't consider Newark or Camden to actually be part of the state. You remember the stores Korvette's, Two Guys, Rickel's, Channel, Bamberger's and Orbach's. You also remember Palisades Amusement Park. You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February. You've never pumped your own gas. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from New Jersey.

( craziness, I tell ya )

A challenge:

Sum up your impression of me in one word, leave it as a comment in this posting, and then post this sentence in your own journal to see what people have to say about you.

Anonymous posting is on, and this is a public entry. No need to be nice, I'd appreciate honesty more. And if you'd like to explain your choice of word, I'll take that too.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want (you may post anonymously if you wish). Then, I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

So it dawns on me just now that all people have to do is select to post anonymously. So here goes...

I want you to comment with anything that you want. Anything. Post a story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love - anything. Be sure to post honestly and anonymously, though.
Post as many times as you'd like, and then put this in your LJ to see what your friends (and perhaps others who you don't even realize read your LJ) have to say.

I resolve to be a happier person and to not let things get me down all the time....


and on that note, it's time to pack. Have a good weekend everyone, see ya on Monday!

p.s. going friends only... so if you read this and want to be added, let me know

How about everyone, and I mean everyone... just drop all the stupid bullshit about Monday night. It's not important and no one side is completely right or wrong. So instead of everyone having sore feelings towards each other over something SO stupid, let's just return to normal. Pretend it never happened, swallow our pride. It's all so stupid... I'm willing to forget everything, it'd be nice if everyone else could too. So no more talk about it anymore, from ANYONE. Just let it go.

And if something similar is to happen, then we can just deal with it like normal people and not through dumbass LiveJournal wars. Or better yet, end the problem before it starts. Sox fans can organize a place they can go afterwards and be loud without disturbing people in the residence areas. Plan seems to work for all people.

So really, everyone just drop it and get along. I have no hard feelings towards anyone and I love you all. There are more important things in life, we all know this.

And finally, we have heat. Praise the lord.
