So here I am. Bored, at work, with a little bit of time before I start to close up shop for the night, thought I might as well put in a quick update since it has been SO long. It has been over six months since I have last updated. About a month after my last update, me and Giovanni broke up, but I met a spectacular boy (actually the day after my last post, LOL) named Eugene, and we have been together for quite some time now. He treats me fantastic, and is all I could ever want in a partner. Have also met a lot of new friends through the Base, especially through base volleyball which is Mondays & Wednesdays from 1100-1300. Been playing volleyball for Porter House during the summer still (Weapons of Mass Destruction LOL), and currently at Gaskill, with my team, Shorthanded, which consists of me, mom, Court, Steve Polka (friend from the base) and his brother Joe, and Dave Pearson (also a friend from the base). Getting a lot better, won our championships at Gaskill last year (which was Monday nights) and have moved up to Tuesday nights! This semester of school has been going AWESOME. Taking some fabulous classes, including Religion, Language & Music with Brian Bennett, and Karin!; Politics & Media; ART!!!!!; and the not so exciting, Ethics. Can't complain really. Took some cool summer courses too, Computer Applications and Film & Culture (which was like a SciFi movie marathon, haha). Scheduling for next semester has been a pain though. Trying to graduate early and stuff. Also work scheduling has been giving me a headache too. Also, this summer was the Air Show! Me & Eugene took a week long trip to NYC, and to visit his sister in New Jersey, and some of his family in Pennsylvania! We also went to Toronto, and made another weekend(ish) trip to Ohio (for the USAF Museum, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) and to his house he is building in Pennsylvania! Made a couple trips to Rochester with my friend Aaron Rombaut, from the base, lol. Been keeping busy! Have a few worries about a few things. Dad's diabetes are acting up. Been passionate about a few issues (Fox News coverage of the War, for example). One of the most fun times since last update was Karin's birthday celebration, LOL!!!! Don't really know what else to update on right now, since so much stuff has happened. The new house is great! Still have an hour and a half left of work, but the last hour I'll be closing up, should be doing some reading on Nicomachean (sp?) Ethics. Tomorrow is Friday, so only have one class. Not sure what else is going on, might have dinner with two pilot friends from the 107th, or might take mom out for a birthday dinner (she turned 46 today!). Depends on when Gene leaves. (He goes home on most weekends, since he lives below Erie, PA, and is working on rebuilding his child home there, which caught fire when he was 18. During the week he stays with me, at our house! Which is great! Since his five years of orders just came to an end in September. He was living here (on base) for such a long time!). If you want to know more about Eugene, he is 26 as of 16 June, and he is a Crew Chief on the C-130 for the 914th. He is gorgeous! And Russian! ;] He drives a Camaro (WHICH IS KICKASS, and he taught me to drive standard on it!), and a Mustang Cobra. Idk what else to say about him right now, gotta get back to work I suppose. ♥ STEFFANY |

So since last update..it's been just about a month. I really suck at updating these days. So why not take the hours I have in between class to do so, instead of doing something productive like homework! PSH who does homework anymore!! :P Anyways, overall I am pretty happy with the way things are going in my life. I ordered my contacts, but I don't wear them all the time. I still love them though, haha. Survived the first few weeks of school so far. Nothing too spectacularly interesting there as of yet. Two classes with Geo aren't going so bad. I start moving tomorrow, to a house four houses(?) down from Geo. Hopefully that works out okay. It will be nice to have a bigger house/room and be able to reorganize. Made a few new friends. One more notable is this kid Adam whom I met on base of course. We have weirdly similar sense of humors, he is quirky and cheers me up well. :] He lives out near Syracuse though, so I don't see him too often. My birthday passed recently. I turned 20, so now I am old, though successfully escaped teenage pregnancy, lol. I had a pretty good time, went out to Canada with basically ALL my besties. Me, Geo, Court, Karin, Recchione, Joe, Chris, Victor. :]]] Got some cool stuffs too, most noteworthy is probably my new laptop!! WOOHOO, now I can get on our wireless network at work & do stuff. Also muchly helpful with online classes. Got a few books that I am looking forward to reading, and a few Russian jerseys (not the one I really wanted, at least not yet), a super cool Andy Warhol shirt from my sister, CD from Court..cool bracelet from G-ma with some Russian stuffs..Sabres Ice Cream Cake and a cake made by Geo! :D (OH AND I GOT TICKETS TO SEE BRANDNEW, SOOO EXCITED). Had fun keeping score at Cruiser's the other day with Geo & Chuck. Got some good jokes from that one too. Me & Geo's year and a half was the other day too. Saw the Messengers, and I hope he liked his book and shirt I bought him. Wait til he sees his Valentine's Day presents, hehe. :D This weekend, me, Geo, Court & Chris are going to Medieval Times through NU, bought cheap tickets and such. I work tomorrow and Thursday, need to finish packing. Friday maybe ice hockey? Tonight refereeing volleyball. Talking to Teffy again which is cool tools. :D I wanna go see a few movies coming out soon or that are already out. It is SO freezing here lately. Been getting into 24 thanks to Geo, and catching up on Degrassi. WHOA. :D Been doing my hair too, cuz I like it when I get out of the shower, all wavy and natural. I will have to post pix on here soonishly, but I don't think that many people read this anymore. Read Dave Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and it made me laugh outloud so much, love his writing. :]] Anyways, I should be tending to my muchos homework, maybe getting a head start on some stuff. Chances are I won't, but I will at least go try. My back hurts. I sure wish the school computer lab had massage chairs like the one I bought my dad for our computer. :P STEFFANY♥ |

I have been writing a lot of poetry. So you can guess what kind of moods I've been in. I was gonna post some, but this is the only one I presently have at my disposal (on this computer to post, hah). It kind of sucks, was written in about five minutes. You can tell me what you think: tell me that you knew that we were different from the start tell me it's a feeling you had down deep within your heart describe to me your inner thoughts upon when we first met you knew then that you loved me you just weren't that ready yet tell me stories with fairy tale endings and sing me lullabies of love tell me i'm the only one for you in this life tell me you'll be here to alleviate my strife tell me you won't hurt me, and you'll always be by my side tell me you won't leave me, and that in me, you confide tell me stories with fairy tale endings and sing me lullabies of love tell me that no matter what happens, your hand will be in mine kiss me softly on the forehead, and tell me everything will be fine tell me you want to be with me, and that i'm your one and only promise me you'll protect me and that together we'll never be lonely tell me stories with fairy tale endings and sing me lullabies of love let me know how you feel and assure me this will never end whisper sweet nothings in my ear, as my lover and best friend hold me gently, trace my body, hope that will we never part wipe the tears from both my cheeks and never break my heart tell me stories with fairy tale endings and sing me lullabies of love Oh well. I am pissed, because I have to work the next six days in a row (morning shifts for some of them too, bah) and then one day off, then school starts and I work the first two days of school, then another day off, then a long Saturday shift, and probably Sunday too. I don't want to work the first day of school, I wonder if I can fix that or switch or something. Also she better give me the days off that I requested (ie. my birthday, February 1st). If she doesn't I will just call in sick. I have my period. So it could explain the moodiness. And I think I am getting a cold, which if that is true, it blows. It snowed today. BAH. I have been working out a little more. I want to get better at volleyball. Ice hockey Friday night. I need to buy new skates, and lots of other things when I get my tax returns. I made a new friend, her name is Monica, and she is Chad's girlfriend. She is pretty cool. :]] I have actually done something about purchasing books before three weeks into the semester this time. I am kind of excited, I am not sure. I have two classes with Geo, and will be his neighbor soon enough. I hope me and that boy are together forever. :]] He makes me happy. But also so upset sometimes. C'est la vie? I have been packing a lot, and that brings back a lot of memories. Le sigh. BRAND NEW is coming here in March, and I DO NOT CARE I MUST GO. And you want to know something, my birthday is coming up too. You can buy me something, like these cute little Russian bears. :P I have been listening to a lot of Boxcar Racer recently, haha. And my new CDs from Christmas. I have also been doing a lot of reading. I am still trying to finish "Nicholas & Alexandra" (by Robert K. Massie) about Tsarist Russia, pretty cool. Then I gotta read the book Edo bought me, and I want someone to buy me the Perks of Being a Wallflower, and a couple other books I enjoy. :P I want to travel. Yessir. I have what Geo calls Amerigo now (a GPS system) so maybe me and him can drive to Cleveland, and some other places. I want to go overseas though. That reminds me, Christmas was great. I love being around Geo's family. They are spectacularly welcoming and fun to be around. And they all bought me presents which is so sweet. I was prepared this year. :P Let me think, some of things I got that I really enjoyed would have to be: the Gir shirt and hoodie Geo bought me (as well as the Sabres throw and all the other stuffs!), the CD & book Edo bought me, new digi cam (which I need to take back kind of, lol), lots of AWESOME boxed sets of my Adult Swim shows, and lots more. I think Geo loved his jersey, and I hope he liked the other stuff, he uses his neck pad I bought him so that's cool. New Year's was not as great, but I dressed up and looked good, or so I thought. Maybe I will post pix, if not then you should look at MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/x_fallenstar). I wanna try to make it to at least one more Sabres game before the end of the season. I kind of want a tattoo, in Cyrillic. Got new contacts. Actually, I think since I last updated, I got contacts in general. LOL. I don't wear them everyday, but the new brand I have, I ABSOLUTELY love, so this = happy. I totally had more I wanted to say, but I keep forgetting. I'm out. LOVE. Steffany |

So here I am again. Ridiculously bored at work, and basically having a not-so-awesome day. Started off nicely though because before bed I saw two of my favorite episodes of Futurama, and found out that my early (9:40) class would be cancelled, so I got to sleep in – YAY! – and made a few mix CDs. Went to my other class, even though it was pouring rain, and if I would’ve known we were just watching a movie on South Africa, I probably would’ve skipped it. (Which reminds me I should really start working on all the papers I have coming up. :-\) Anyways, got out of class a little early, and contemplated what to do with my time – workout/advise/burn CDs/etc. Was running late for work, and found out I actually can’t get my new cell phone yet, which kind of blows. And found out that Billy Talent might be sold out, which if so, I will kill Giovanni, because he has been supposed to have been buying our tickets forever. SIGH. Just generally easily annoyed today, different things, nothing I want to get into too much. Capt. Jason Thomas brought me Thai food though, so that cheered me up a little, as did a talk with Aleksey about video games, Brian stopping in to visit, and a few other things here and there. Looks like me & Giovanni will be in a class together next semester… History of the Soviet Union (which I am iffy about, because I know it’s not the era I am particularly interested in, but everything else was closing up and this didn’t sound like it sucked that bad, and it is half online). I also am registered for Ethics, Media Economics (BAHH because everything else was closed), and I am forcing into Stereotypes in Media with Fogle, and waiting on Steve to see whether or not I can force in to Philosophy of the Mind (which is an AMAZING CLASS with an AMAZING TEACHER, so I sure hope so). If not, Idk what I’m gonna take to replace it in my schedule.. LAAME. :-\ I have the entire weekend off, I don’t work again until next Wednesday…so Idk what I’m gonna do. I was really looking forward to that show so hopefully that will work itself out somehow. I need to start shopping/doing homework/working out more/doing things I enjoy… I don’t really have any plans for tonight either. Courtney is always busy with Chris these days, and I’m pretty sure Giovanni will be out a good deal of the night, he said he was gonna go play some poker or something. Idk, but there’s about ten minutes until I have to start closing, so I guess I’m out for now. OK so since then after work instead of going home as planned, went to Brendan's and chillaxed with him, Dean & Shawn for a bit. Shawn left and some philosophical conversations ensued. Then I drove Dean home. Now I am here, should be doing homework, but I think I am going to skip class and stuff...Idk. Thinking about a lot of stuff, but too lazy to type it out right now. Seeyou.

I was about to go to bed when I realized that I wrote an update for this thing and got all excited, lol. So here it is, long I know.. Well, it’s almost 5 PM, and I am sitting at work with three people left to check-in for the rest of the night. Which is roughly 6 more hours for me. I didn’t bring any book to read, or any homework to do, my boss is not here, and I have no friends coming to visit (as far as I am currently aware). Since I my military ID card is not working to give me access to the few webpages not restricted here on base, I decided I would write in Word an update to my dear dead/livejournal that I have neglecting as of late. (Probably for a new love, MySpace). So I believe the last time I updated was in like April, so there’s no way I can recap what’s been happening the last 7 or 8 months. I am trying desperately to keep myself awake though with mixtures of coffee/hot chocolate/cappuccino & creamy topping, lol. Anyways. Since April, I finished my first year of college, and even took a summer class in Photography, which was awesome. Lost (or fell out of touch anyways) with some friends, but gained some (like Aleksey, the tall Russian Army kid I met on base in late August); me and Giovanni, though we’ve had several rough spots (esp. those involving ridiculous rumors), made it through to our one year anniversary in August (which was pleasant, and involved two trips to Toronto – Hockey Hall of Fame, Warhol exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Medieval Times, and some interesting shopping/eating.) Several trips to NYC were planned but never executed, so hopefully that will start looking up soon. Let’s see…what else. Summer volleyball was fun, met a new friend named Chris who occasionally played with us (and is now a member of our winter team – God’s Gift to Volleyball, LOL…so yeah we’re all improving. J ) Also, Courtney started dating another Chris, that I had known growing up at Catholic school, so that was interesting, and he taught us how to play Euchre, which is now something we do on a semi-regular basis. Fantasy Hockey league too, my team is comprised of all Russian players. Almost broke part of my hand in September…long story. Saw Jesus Christ Superstar at UB and met Ted Neeley, again. Hosted a German exchange student, named Kevin, so that was a lot of fun! Too bad I didn’t get to hang out with him as much as I would have liked due to extreme work-ness. Got into a lot of Russian punk and German punk as well. Skipping a lot of things, I know, but it’s not like many people will actually take the time to read this in its entirety, so basically, this is a recap for myself, lol. End of August, the Fall semester started, which hasn’t turned out to be as bad as I had expected. This semester I am taking Media Theory with Prof. Shanadi, though boring at first, the class has really picked up, esp. since we have multiple debates where I have been able to voice my opinion about art, music and video games, lol, and we’ve watched several movies or clips of, and I made a few new friends, Lyndsey & Ron, and had been reunited with some old ones – Rosemarie, and Courtney. Also taking Philosophy with thee greatest professor EVER – Steve Petersen. DEFINITELY one of my all time favorite classes too. ♥♥♥!! International Studies with this Romanian Prof. Liczek isn’t as awful as when it started, somewhat interesting when it’s more interactive. Have a group project with this kid J.P. and this other Ukrainian kid named Justin, about conspiracies surrounding 9/11. Media Writing (Prof. Brown) is one of the easiest courses I have ever taken, it’s too bad it’s so early that I have slept through it a few times – partially due to my lack of being able to go to bed and needing to stay up and get my Adult Swim fix. Comparative Politics is a fun class because the professor, Chris Lee, is so hilarious, and I sit with a Socialist girl named Lisa, and we always have a lot of fun (Maybe you’re the Parliament!!). Kind of worried about that class though because there is only one grade so far… Recently registered for classes for next semester. Though that kind of sucks. Looks like I’m going to have to force into at least 1, if not 2 classes. Meh. Been drawing a little, made a big drawing for Giovanni & I’s one year of his parents, which brought attention to my art on base, so now people are paying me to do stuff for them. Might have a job with the Castellani soon, doing advertising & design and such. Been trying to hang out with some people I haven’t had the chance to, like Jeff (which was fun J) and Joe. Me and Joe went to see Borat yesterday. And ran into Aaron Sawyer. Me & Recchione went to see Hellogoodbye which was AWESOME, they played with Reggie, Cute Is What We Aim For and Dave Mellilo (sp?). Also, chalked up two more Spill Canvas concerts I believe..and I’m sure there were others, like Warped Tour/Edgefest over summer. &&Aleksey came to visit as well, so that was fun. Halloween was interesting, dressed Giovanni up as a girl, and then little gathering later on at Brendan’s. Today is my mom’s birthday, and I am stuck at work. :-\ I have so many things on my mind that I need to get done too. Geo’s birthday is coming up, and I have so many people to buy X-mas presents for. I also need to get my new phone, and a winter coat, and I want to try to get contacts since I am wearing my glasses more and more often and I hate them. Raphael (another person I’ve been seeing more of lately) might cut and style my hair because I am sick of it doing nothing, lol. I work with Karin now, got her a job in Lodging, so that is pretty cool. Me and her are planning a trip to Toronto to see Brandnew in early December, so that will be amazing. JESSELACEY♥! Going to see Billy Talent/Thursday/Rise Against/Circa Survive on Friday with the boy, Recchione and some other people. Tentative plans to go see Say Anything on Sunday. Possible party Sat. night, which may have to be moved, due to many of my friends being losers and needing to camp overnight for the Nintendo Wii (but party soon, most def. due to the discovery of a almost full bottle of vodka at work, lol). Going to see Rent in December, maybe Trans Siberian Orchestra (for Geo) and Moscow’s Great Russian Nutcracker. Definitely need NYC soon though. Been to two Sabres (who are doing great this year) games so far, and there is one on the boy’s birthday so that is a possibility. PS. I need Final Fantasy 12. XsighX Updating the journal always used to make me much calmer, and clear my head because it was another place to contain my thoughts. Maybe I should get back into the habit of doing that again, so I don’t end up with so many 329754976 word long entries… And imagine if I post pictures with this!! If I do, it’ll hafta be in parts. Been working out more, trying to lose a little weight I guess. One of my New Year’s resolutions this year should be to try to sleep. It might suck to miss Adult Swim (though I’m working on getting/burning every season of every show I like on there), I need to start waking up for classes and getting homework done. Well, Dan taught me how to play Free Cell, so I’m gonna go work on my skills for a little bit, then maybe write more later. Yours truly, Steffany |

So yeah, I haven't updated in over a month. Wow. That's how you know college and work have gotten to me. I don't even know where to begin a recap. I did go see Motion City Soundtrack with the Matches at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo with Giovanni, Recchione, Chris Willard, Meagan, Melody & Dean. That was a pretty funtastic time, jumping around doing our thing, haha, AND me & Giovanni got to meet up with the singer from the Matches for quite some time. Uhm, been randomly hanging out with folks. Courtney came up for an entire week (spring break) and me and her spent like every waking moment together, being total shop-a-holics, too, which was fun but not so awesome, LOL. I love her and miss her muchly. May even go up to the B-port and visit her in a few weeks. Stopped over at Brendan's house for his mom's birthday party, Rich was there, Will, Dean, John, Meagan, and eventually I even got Giovanni to go there. Meh. School work, fell behind for a bit, trying to balance everything out, but might be hard b/c of the summer hours at my work, every night I close at 11 now. Meh. Then I try to spend time with my boy toy when I can. He's been so amazing too. Yesterday was eight months. :-* Among all the millions of things I've bought, me & Courtney were the undie bandits, LOL, but got some cute ones and a corset thingy (that was Gio's doing though, lol), bought new work out pants that I love but a lot of people say I have a bubble butt in, can't help it I guess, lol, cute little heart boxers, amazing khakis, the Oblongs box set, and an Invader Zim GIRTACO shirt, and 2 Doors shirts, and a Pink Floyd shirt, sneakers, windshield wiper blades (long story, gr) and a Sabres charm, etcetera. I still need to put it on my bracelet, and start a new one, and get a picture charm. Gio's road test is this week. When he can drive it will make life so much easier, especially when he buys his uncle's car. Freshman social at Hard Rock in Canada, drinking, $10 free food, etcetera. May attend, if I can get out of work early, b/c we have to use their transportation, meh. Want to take Gio. Bamboozle is coming up, yay. FOB before that. Maybe a Sabres game, too. Even though they're on the sucky end lately. Gio may or may not go to NYC for a week, Idk cuz Bower cancelled on him. Warped Tour lineup looks awesometastic, and PANIC is coming to the Dome in July!! Hopefully this summer is as awesometastic as the last. Getting a lot better at volleyball (last night Tony played too, which was fun) so Porter House will be a blast. Puffer was up for a little while earlier, got to chillax with him & Will and such. Got new scholarship. Financial Aid is GAY, made me terminate workstudy, even though I am there right now doing a paper, I miss the library people a LOT, like my second mom, yknow? Hopefully in a semester or two that can change. Summer classes? Unsure right now. Hung out with Joe the other night. GOod times. And Carly & Amanda before that too. Miss working out with them, especially b/c sitting on my ass at work all the time makes me feel fat. Got mega pictures to load, but I still have two classes to go for the day. Tomorrow & Thursday I work, Friday is devoted to Gio basically, Saturday & Sunday I work. It is so dead there for so many hours it's unbelievable. But met a stripper, lol, and lots of other interesting characters, people always offering to take me out, or Nas inviting me out to the club/bar, or me & Courtney and our adventures, LOL. Made some amazing new mixes, lol. Not that you care. Not that anyone reads. Been writing poetry. Working on a few art projects. Surprises though so no more word on that. Visited the high school a few times. Teachers agree my curfew should be abolished (especially now that I work late and have no time to myself!!) they love me there so much it's like a self esteem boost, lol. Looking into apartments, found two reasonable ones. Would need some roommates though, so any thoughts? Idk, other than that, I guess I am out for now, should probably finish up this here essay and stop sucking at life. Which I most of the time feel like I do. When I don't it's either because a) I'm with Giovanni and he makes me feel spectacular, b) I'm talking to Courtney who I can always relate to, or c) I'm too bogged down in everything to think about anything at all, xsighx which is most of the time, which sucks so bad. |

So yeahh. Uhm. Last Tuesday&Wednesday I can't quite recall. Thursday; after class, I ended up hanging out with *Chrissy*. Colosso, then some rounds of cards (which I miss) and lots of catching up/chitchat/girl talk, you know the deal. Fun times. Made plans to watch Rent. Woot. Left her house to pick up Giovanni from work. Friday; me&Gio day, part 2 of the week. Got lost on the way to Buffalo, heheh... :-\ Went to the Albright Knox, which was a very fun time indeed. I need to figure out what one of the pieces I used to love is called/and the artist. BK after that. Then home in time to catch the end of the Russia/Finland Olympic game. He had hockey too. So I went to watch him, and yay- got to catch up with old friend from last semester- Courtney! :) I enjoy her, so that was a fun time. She left, and Gio ended up playing another game after tiny bit of arguing. But that was ok, b/c Matt Millville's girlfriend was there, which just so happens to be an old friend of mine from highschool - Brittani Wilkinson. ^_^ So that was fun, and met this guy named Drew. Friends with half the players and their girlfriends now, lol. Saturday; work. Then NU hockey game with the Dad. Sat with Recchione, Quincy & John Bonesky, fun times. Free subs/donuts, lol. Bought an NU Hockey hoodie, represent, and yeahh. Sunday; work. But afterwards, unexpected visit from Sean Puffer (!!infrom NH) and Will, so uh..picked up Gio, and then met up with them two again, and got Bower cuz it was his bday and played some pool. Mmhmm. Yesterday; picked up Gio after class & got Colosso, and had some whippedcream fun. Heh. Hung out til volleyball. Which was ok. Recchione played. We lost, meh. Can't wait til Porter House. Afterwards, talked to Jon a little. Me & Gio went to Canada. Drove across. And went to Midway. Played muchos games, many rounds of table/bubble hockey. Which I should've won. Winner bought drinks. Mixed drinks. Pina Colada & uh this other thing with kahlua/vodka/cola/milk - Paralyzer I think. Then some shots, green apple for me & Absolut for him. Mmmm. Slightly off balance, but played some more games. No pix since we're supposed to go back Friday night. MEH. I'm at work right now or I would load my other pix. Bleh. Anyways, ended up back at his house, loveeeeely. :-* It was great to just lay with him, and hear him be all sweet. :) xhugglesx. I love the boy. Oh&biting. Reading this great book for REL101 called When In Rome. And I'm gonna make Jesus Pwns shirts for me, Karin & Natascha. LOL And a few other peoples too. HAhaha, long story. Fun times. Today, I have two more classes. Then if I'm not grounded, got home real late last night half broke :(, Chrissy wants to watch Rent/Colosso, maybe with some other peoples. Tomorrow I work. Thursday is basically free. Friday I unfortunately am forced to work, though it's our annivesary/our weekly day/hockey, but it's a UTA weekend, mad busy yo. Starting to stay open later, sucks. :( But after I'm out, pick him up and head to Canada hopefully, for some clubbing maybe, legalness? Idk. But yeah, this was semi-rushed. Gotta read a lil something before class so I'm out. Xs |

xsighx 1:42 AM. Just finished looking over a website that I have to give a presentation on in my REL class tomorrow, that I already have -50 points on due to stupid crap. Chatting with John & Will here & there, lots on my mind, lots to catch up on, obviously out of order, just the big things that come to my mind. Wow I sure do miss updating this thing all the time, heh: - So you know how I lost my glasses? I borrowed Dean's and broke them, on total accident. Bought us both new glasses. I like mine. - So you know how I got new glasses? They're kind of broken, because my sister, for reasons unbeknownst to me, decided to flip out on me one night in the car, and punch me in the nose. I have to go to the doctor's soon about it, b/c it's been hurting like hell for the past two weeks, bled a lot, and it keeps getting increasingly harder to breathe. :-\ - So yeah, like my birthday: February 1st. 19 years old. Still suffer a curfew/groundings. xsighx But can legally drink in Canada now, which I have yet to take advantage of. Giovanni bought me the cutest Gir ring ever, and the Who shirt I always wanted. RECCHIONE & MELODY BOUGHT ME TICKETS TO THE FALLOUTBOY/HAWTHORNEHEIGHTS/FROMFIRSTTOL - February 3rd : SIX MONTH ANNIVERSARY. Went out for Thai food (I think, can't keep all our restaurants straight). Bought me lilies & stuff, :-*. Was supposed to go to the soldout PANIC! AT THE DISCO show, but grounded! >:-O Watched Gio play hockey instead. Mehhhh. - Went to Olympia, the greek place. Mmmm. - Went to Muscoreil's the day before Valentine's Day because we knew Gio would be working on the day of. Good times/great food. - Valentine's Day; the loverboy bought me roses!!! and hazelnut chocolates!!!! and my favorite sugar cookies!!! AHHH! Loveeeeeee!! But I'm sure I'll be fat-tastic now. Haha. He didn't get out of work til 11:30 so that kind of sucked ASS. - Been working a lot. Aaron left the base. His wife has that airforce job now, stationed in Mississippi. :-( I'll miss him! - Went over Recchione's last night after work which was madd cool, cuz like he totally taught me a tiny bit of drums, and it was amazing to listen/watch him play the drums to Panic! or Motion City, and then some gee-tar too. Too bad it was cut short cuz I'm always in trouble. - Meagan bought me & Gio tix to see Motion City Soundtrack with the Matches, Dean, Recchione & Melody are also coming. Excited actually a lot!!

Esp. Brewer's girl, Karin, and Natascha, it's fun times. PWNAGE!!! Hahaha. - Volleyball still sucking, lol. But hockey, though I haven't been playing has been getting cool, Gio is making some Miller-ish saves. ;) ;) And the Olympics, Canada has been shut out TWICE. Heck yeah. - Got to spend a lot of time with THEE CHRISTINA EVANS THE OTHER NIGHT, b/c I visited her at work while Giovanni played 3 games of hockey that I didn't want to watch them all. Nice smelling perfume too, haha. Saw Brendan for a bit, as well as John, Kraft, etc etc. - I miss Miss Liz Norwich. And a few other peoples. Trying to pencil people into my free time, haha. Doesn't that make me sound cool? :P J/k. - Made Gio watch Schindler's List til 2AM with Chinese Food takeout the other day after his three hockey games, then more of a workout. ;) - Me and Meagan are still fighting, which I actually hate a lot. - Me & Courtney found the ab machines, and have been working out on those, lol. - I have a lot of pictures to load off of my camera, but will probably post the ones I last loaded to Photobucket for now even though that doesn't even account for half of them! :) - I never have free time to scrapbook or anything, grr! - Car in shop tomorrow. Steffany & Giovanni day. Maybe mall. Volleyball. Yepp. Wish me luck on my presentation too.

Yeah, so, ... it's been a while. Things have been good. Been working, not too much, though I should be. Mostly because I bought a new car. It's a black, 2 door, 2000 Chevy Cavalier, not too shabby, but, I'll be paying car payments for the next five years, and that's on top of insurance, and tuition, and other day to day crap. :( This will be totally un-chronological (which is not like me) but here've been some of the highlights & lowlights since the last update. ♥ I started classes again. This semester actually seems to be going pretty well. Didn't go broke because of books, and really like a few of my classes, especially the people in them. I am taking Honors World Religion, Media Litery in the Digital Age, American History in the Contemporary World, Intro to Literature, & Media Programming & Management. Hopefully I can bring my GPA up this semester, because, let's just say, it wasn't that awesome last semester. :( ♥ I got the chance to catch up with the one & only, LIZ NORWICH the other day at school, which was totally awesometacular. I miss her. We did quite a bit of talking, and have tentative plans next week. ♥ I've been working out more & more, and being more health-conscious when I eat, which can be good or bad, and can be partly blamed on Courtney's rice cakes & wheat thins, so I've been drinking lots of juices & water, and eating lots of fruits. Last night, me, Carly, Kristina & Amanda went to work out at NU, played some raquetball and ran laps around campus. We're gonna make it a regular thing. That makes me smile. Since I've been feeling a little less than secure with my body for some reason lately. ♥ I was sick for a while, still am kind of. It's not that cool. But Gio also created a roller hockey team for Cruiser's Friday Night League, I was sick, but played a few minutes. It ended up being me, him, Edo, Steve MASOCCO & Matt SCHREINER (YAY! long time no see!!) and Roger Gaines, and this one awesome kid. Yeep. Hung out with Gio & Roger a few times too. ♥ Before everyone went their separate ways again, we had a huge Applebee's outing which was thoroughly enjoyable. ♥ Dean and my sister date now. I am happy for them, but have a few mixed feelings here & there. One thing's for sure though, me & Dean's already strange relationship, will be altered for sure. ♥ Justin's been calling more & more. Weird? ♥ Ran into Michele Alexander at Cupolo's the other day. We're trying to make plans. ♥ Brendan's birthday was yesterday. My birthday is a week from today. Idk what I'm gonna do, but I hope to do something, :-\. My birthday always sucks. ♥ I lost my glasses today, somewhere between my car parked in Dwyer to my first class over in Vini's. :-\ That's gonna be more money out of my pocket. Hmf. :( ♥ I miss a lot of people. But I'm rather happy with my drama-free life. And people go their separate ways, and with most, I've tried my best to keep in touch, and frankly, I'm just sick of it, they can do their part. I have a lot on my mind, which is not uncommon these days, but I am uncertain of the extent I would like to go into on this here deadjournal. Carly never called back about working out tonight, so I feel blimp-ish, haha, it's probably because I didn't work the library today like I told her I would. :( Gio is working. Until 9. Then we'll probably hang out for a bit, which will be nice, because it always is. Such a pleasant change from when he was in NYC. That saddens me sometimes though. His bursts of depression which make me feel like I do indeed bring him down, like I'm the reason he left his dream city and that I hold him back. He cherishes everyone there far more than he does anyone here, which to me, is slightly disappointing. He has history with a lot of these people. I don't like to look that far into the future with us sometimes, because I am scared. Same old, same old, right? Like, what happens if I don't make it to NYC after next year? Would we fall apart, or would we be strong enough to endure another shot at long distance relationships? I was thinking about it the other day, and we pulled through this quite well, but I don't know how willing I would be to do it again. So I realize it's silly to even think such things, I won't let myself get left behind, I won't do that. I want to be with him. And I want to be in the city, for school purposes, career purposes. I want to immerse myself in that culture, the media. And what a prime place to do so. But there's still that lingering doubt, that maybe, if things don't work out as so perfectly planned in our heads, that he would just move on, or something. I don't know. I beat myself up about it. And other things too. Like how, a lot of the time, I feel less pretty around him. He's far too perfect for me. Or I feel self-conscious, because of the posters on his walls, of those picture-perfect girls with great bodies and blonde hair, or when I can't be the greatest athlete for him, I feel like he could find so much better in another girl, I don't have much to offer him. Also, what about if & when he joins the Army? Then what becomes of us? Most people who read this (if they even got this far) probably think it's silly for me to worry about that kind of stuff (though I don't rightly worry about it per se) because it just makes me sound like another love-struck girl looking too far ahead, but I really can't see myself without him when I really think about it. My hearts only claimed to love one other, there have been boys here and there but none that ever struck up such feelings/emotions within me, so I know that what I feel is true, love is a unique feeling. On the other end of the spectrum however, sometimes I feel entirely unappreciated. Like he never gives me enough credit. For anything. For trying (with sports, or college, or his family, or getting a team together, etc. etc.) [How does he know whether or not I'm trying? It hurts a lot when I actually honest-to-god am trying and he doesn't seem to think so.], for doing the dishes/assorted chores around the house, etc. Menial crap. Though it's less apparent now then when he was in NYC, sometimes he makes me feel lame and boring, like I can't be that party-girl he sometimes makes me feel like he wants, because I don't go out drinking and clubbing all the time. I'm more artsy than athletic. I wish he would realize that I am about expression, about making a statement. The song lyrics. That stuff. I'm really not that hard to read, either. I'm not a jealous girl, but it is a bit much when every girl ever is like in love with your boyfriend and wants him all to themselves. They're probably prettier, and have more to offer him, could make him happier? I don't know. I fear the day that someone better comes along, and he up & leaves me for them. Though I am ridiculous to even consider such a thing, I know it could never happen. Or is that naivety? Sometimes I fear I am too cautious, due to past heartache maybe?, but then, since my insides are in constant turmoil, the other half of me urges me to love like I've never been hurt, and not get caught up in all of this stuff, but you can't help it, trying to be a wise girl, and not waste her time on another heartbreak. But who am I trying to fool? Me & Giovanni are perfect for each other, I shouldn't anticipate anything but happiness. I can only hope he loves me as much as I care for him, or even a fraction would be nice. So faithful readers, what few I have, pay no mind to my ramblings, I am genuinely happy. More endless rants later, whether the topic be religion, media, politics or what not. I love you Giovanni Fioramonte, with all my heart. I hope you know that, you're all I'll ever need.

So yeah, SABRES GAME versus TAMPA BAY, FXCKING AMAZING. 8th row, CENTER ICE, we WON, and boy was it good times, too. Hahaha, me & Giovanni are like hockey soul mates, shouting the same things at the same time, lol. I enjoyed myself muchly, I don't rightly recall what we ended up doing after that though.. Sabres Calendars, oh & back to his house for Twilight Zone or something. Either Friday or Saturday we went out to Denny's with a bunch of people; Heather.Alex.Brewer.Ang.Bower. and saw lots more other people, too. Sunday, he went to Lockport with us, we went to Panera Bread which was yummy. I wonder which one Will works at.. He went to work, I've been scrapbooking like WHOA. Uhm, and then I believe we hung out after work & watched Wedding Crashers. :) Stupid having my period though. Monday he came over & spent the day with me. It really sucks that I can't remember much of what we did. Or that could be because I'm rushing, and like no one reads this anyways. But volleyball was pretty fun, only a 5 player team though, lacking another guy, Alex was in Hamburg. Uh..afterwards hit up the bar for some pool. Gio drove, my mom taught him to parallel park, he's pretty good too. Thanks to me letting him drive all the time, haha. ;) Don't remember much else that night though..so I should update this thing more frequently haha. Yesterday, Gio came over & spent the day with me again. Guitar was fun, RENT, haha. xP Went to try to pick out a car, since I am in need of a new one, .. mine died. Blew the head gasket. Ergh.. I am too picky, and don't want to spend $$. >.< BLEH. Uhm..after guitar, me & Gio tried to clean some of my room, which actually got somewhere for once,with minor interruptions, ;) ;). And then we decided to try to call up everyone for a spontaneous get together at Colosso (happy I made you try apple tacos!? ho!) followed by some pool at Billiards. It ended up being, me & the boy, DANNY!! wooo!, Quincy, Brewer, and late but still great, Recchione. Haha, and let me tell you, those were some fun times, haha. All of those kids are hilarious, that group of people is definitely the best. Between the "CIZZLER", and Quincy's ongoing jokes, and Brewer's questionable sexuality, ...hahaha. Shot a few rounds of pool, in which we all were disgustingly bad. Then, Danny drove me & Gio home, and I drove Gio home, if you know what I mean, LOL that didn't even make much sense, but you gather, right? ;) ;) We should definitely do last night again, haha. Uhm..Today is Wednesday and Gio is working til about 7 or 8. Or maybe even 9, so after that I'll probably be with him, but before then, nothing, so gimme a call. I don't have a car though, xpoutsx. I'll probably go scrapbook or clean my room some more, since that's an ongoing project. Toodles. ( . take me baby, or leave me . ) [o] Steffany [o] |

So yeah New Year's Eve. We both worked. It was a little less than spectacular. So, after I got out of work, I tried to pretty myself up. Curl my hair & all that crap, with the help of the lovely Melody & Meagan. Eventually, I just went to pick him up. We were gonna go to Hard Rock, but we wandered the Falls for a little bit, and then came back to my house & had a little to drink. Got caught on tape trying to spin & dip me, haha. Idk. He didn't sleep over as planned :( which made me sad, wanted to wake up starting the new year with him, but I had to work at 11:30. GAY. Idk if it was that night or whatnot, but we decided to start cleaning my room. And we watched What Dreams May Come. And we messed around. And we had some fun. Haha. Monday I think it was, we went out to the Galleria. Tuesday, which was yesterday, it was our anniversary, he came over early, everyone else was at school, so.... XD XD. ..so (I missed guitar :( :( :( ..) we went and got some Thai food at Jasmine, which was awesome. Banana coins.. && we went to the Boulevard Mall. Bought some coconut incense. Woo! Cleaned & crap, eh. I love laying with him & talking.. and doing some other things too, but hey. Today, he's working til 8. Then I'll probably pick him up and we'll do something from there.. Tomorrow is the Sabres game, woo! I need to make it to some NFHS games too, yo. I miss some people, so they should like call me up. Well, anywho. I should go keep myself occupied for the next few hours. Call me if you wanna chillax. -love- ( ..your promises, they look like lies. ) --> Steffany |

SCREW THAT;; Well, DeadJournal decided to for some reason erase my long entry before I posted it, so the few of you who do read this are gonna hafta get the less detailed version of the past while now, b/c I don't feel like recapping, and it has been a LONG WHILE too since I last updated. Haven't done too much of anything. Been busy. Working. Always in trouble. And spending every spare moment with my Giovanni. Sabres have been on a roll. ♥ Got most of my grades in and they are decent mostly B+s and A's. Still waiting on a few though. Saw Rent two more times since I last updated, once with Gio, once with Courtney. Played some pool at Gio's grandfather's bar, and at Ho Jo's. Courtney slept over once, she really liked the track jacket/candle/charm bracelets & charms I bought her I think. So that made me :D . Giovanni's been sleeping over a lot, and that's always a fun time, if you know what I mean ;) ;). Spent the holidays running back and forth between the both of our houses, and dropping off gifts at friends. Victor, Recchione I bought that Coheed shirt for, went out to dinner with him and Kraft and some peoples once, uh.. Giovanni packs me bag lunches, teehee, (:. EVERYONE IN GIOVANNI'S FAMILY BOUGHT ME SOMETHING FOR CHRISTMAS, which totally shocked me, I was not expecting that. Like his grandparents, Edo, his aunts&uncles, etc. etc. but I love spending time with his entire family, his one uncle is really good people, very inviting & welcoming, and a real good guy to boot. So yeah we opened presents at both of our houses. I got a GIL PERREAULT THROWBACK JERSEY, and my parents bought Gio a Hasek one, haha. My sister bought him a shirt, and stuff, and he bougth her a bracelet, and my parents champagne and a painting from Chinatown. I bought him this gorgeous blue button up, an Italian soccer jersey, this belt with the flag from Italy as a buckle cuz I thought it was cuute, and OMG he got me GIR SLIPPERS and other assorted Gir things, yay! Doom! Haha. A REALLY PRETTY SMELLING G'N'R CANDLE to go along with the thousands from his grandmother and aunts, haha. Christmas day we ate at both of our houses, and went to mass at Prince of Peace in honor of his parents, and stopped over at the cemetery too. Things with him have been magical. I love that boy. JUSTIN called. We talked. For a bit. Haven't been around or able to answer any phone calls since then though. I want to learn to Tango. And Swing dance. And have him spin me and dip me all the time. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Wow. We both work. It sucks, he works a lot. And at Perkins. =\ Meh. Worked my first shift alone, ran into some small problems but it wasn't too bad. Tentative plans for tomorrow but allI know for sure is alcohol + him sleeping over. Waking up to starting the new year with him, :). xsighx We're going to the Sabres game on the 5th and probably the 7th. I wish I could update more, but my parents are rushing me offline, so maybe later, kids. Here's some pix for now: ( . la vie boheme . ) s t e f f a n y ♥ |

Well, so RECAP; Tuesday night was guitar, and I went to see RENT which was fxcking AMAZING, xtearx. x[LA ViE B0HEME]x I went shopping with Recchione & Dean. Fun times. Giovanni ended up coming home way later than expected, so I didn't get to see him on his birthday, but he did stop by when he got into the city, at like 3 AM Thursday morning..MANY HUGS. Thursday was my BIO exam, the only one I think I didn't do so swell on, eh. Then I picked him up. I don't even remember what we ended up doing, but he slept over, so you know that was a fun time. Played with Jaden a little bit too, haha. Thought my Psych exam was Friday, but it ended up being Thursday all along, so I had to call my Professor and ask him about it, and so I dropped off Gio, rear-ended a guy due to shitty anti-lock brakes, no damage, but what an asshole, cried on the way to school, took my exam, rushed back to get Gio & went to my work's Christmas Party just to make an appearance. Wasn't all bad. And my baby slept over Friday night as well. Yep, I got my period the day he came into town, so you know nothing too bad happened. But he is such a good kisser. (: Haha. Maybe I'm biased because I enjoy him muchly. Saturday we woke up, and watched Fight Club, woo. Went over his house for a while. His grandfather said I look like a journalist. I am ecstatic because Gio decided to befriend Edo. (: (: (: Uhm..so yeah, we went out, and stopped by Kraft's, picked up Courtney cuz she was sad, and made an appearance at Carly's party, which was pretty cool, got to catch up with some people, Kim, Sara & Carmedy, lol, good times. Then we picked up Kraft and got some food. I let Gio drive. Kind of scary, kind of nice. Had a killer headache. But his touch is godly. (: (: (: Uh went home and tried to go to sleep early cuz I had to work at 7 this morning. Work wasn't too bad. Was scheduled with Nasreen, but Aaron showed up! Cool tools, (: After work, wne to visit Giovanni, BECAUSE I CAN. Haha!! I can call him and be like hey want a hug, and actually give him one, woo!! Stayed for a few minutes & whatnot, and then came home took a fifteen minute nap, ate, felt real sick, got online, and I plan to go out with Courtney and do some things, I need to finish up some shopping, esp. for Giovanni. Argh! I didn't realize how quickly Christmas was approaching, ergh! Ah well. OH & Gio gave me the cutest little fairy ornament but I refuse to put it on the tree, and he gave me this awesome Tinkerbell thingy for my car so I'll finally have something to hold my CDs, you know. OH && OMG I almost forgot, the other night CHAUNCEY fully-bearded, and CASSIY (who is TRANSSEXUAL now) stopped for a long while the other night, some interesting times there, Cassidy said I have a flat stomach and nice boobs, haha, yeah right. "I like my meat cooked," she said, haha. Weiiirdddd. AND I saw Jeff at the mall which was a pleasant surprise after me & Gio had visited Bower & Ang at work, but it kinda sucked, cuz Gio was in a bad mood and I wanted to be able to introduce him, ergh. Ah well.. next time. Maybe. If I ever see Jeff, haha. And I heard I missed out on seeing Jerome, because I skipped out on my sister's chorus concert, even though I coulda chillaxed with Recchione.. Meh. So yeah..I'm working mornings most of this week, ergh. Sucks cuz insomnia is still bad. :( So glad this semester is over, anxiously awaiting my grades to be posted. Can't wait til volleyball with all the good peoples and stuff, woot!! I work Friday night with Aaron, I think my last shift with someone, :( :(. Day after Christmas I'm on alone. :( Meh, I'll try to update later on, lovers. ♥ I'm out. /s/t/e/f/f/a/n/y/ |

So yeah, on Friday, there was even more drama, so me & Recchione went out for lunch & met up with Quincy, until I had to be to work at 3. Worked all night, but it wasn't too bad, cuz it was with Aaron, & we got a pizza, and talked to LtCol Elmer Wolfe about movies, haha. We just keep letting each other borrow stuffs, hehe. Saturday..I don't recall doing to much of anything aside from working on my Psychology final paper which ended up being about EMETOPHOBIA. Look it up. It is the fear of being sick/vomit, others & yourself. It is SO me. Oh yeah & earlier in the day, I took John to Aaron's house b/c he was going to purchase Aaron's wife, Heidi's car, so that was cool. Went out shopping for Courtney, and he treated me to lunch &bought me gas. Nice times. Sorry this update sucks, I am friggin' freezing though. Uh Sunday, had to work at 6 AM on 45 minutes of sleep. Working with Tracie is not too bad though. Aaron got there late, but I came home & slept. And then finished my paper. And then studied for my Criminal Justice & Communications exams. Yesterday. CRJ exam went surprisingly well, got a good grade on my paper too, talked to Edo a lot, and then went over to hand in my Psych paper & Learn and Serve stuff, and then my CMS exam wasn't as easy as expected, probabyl because I was so focused on doing well on my CRJ exam that it inhibited my ability to perform well on CMS. Eh. Came home. Media Play is closing, so went out shopping. Volleyball, was fun/mediocre, since it was just me, Ash & Chris. Adam is a cool guy, lol. We crack ourselves up. Not too shabby either. Soon a team reunion, and Giovanni wants to join the team, too. Uh, talked to Brendan a lot. Mixed feelings on a lot of things, really need to get everything out in the open before I explode, but it has to wait. Things also not going so well in Courtney's life, :( so me & her need some girl-talk crying time. Heh. Today I was so happy, like a mini vacation. No work/school. YES! Talked to Gio a lot. Will & John are there now. All I have is guitar, at 5. And then probably going with Recchione, Melody & Meagan to see Rent. I need to figure out what I'm giving Gio for his birthday which is tomorrow, when he comes home. xsighx Thurs Bio exam, Friday Psych exam and Xmas party on the airbase, so rushed. Eh. Hope this break straightens out a lot of things.. Here's some pix I'm mega late with, but I should really go clean/stay warm, etc. etc. :-\ Bleh. Curtis called the other day. Never called back though, eh. ( xo love is an excuse to get hurt,. ) .::(s)(t)(e)(f)(f)(a)(n)(y)::. |

Friday I worked an overnight. Military men offer to buy me vodka, haha. Saturday night. Giovanni slept over Rockefeller Center to see Dane Cook on SNL. Me, Recchione, Nick Ezak, Quincy, Brendan, Courtney, Sarah, Will and my sister, through a mini-party and all watched it together at my house. That was a pretty fun time. Got some CDs out of it, haha. Afterwards, bored, little liquor, we all went out to Tops, fun times causing ruckus as usual. Ended up dropping off the other girls, and Will's van V. Nick's car had a "high speed car chase". If you were there, you'd know it's funny because it was hardcore snowing, bad roads, so we were all going like 10mph. Throwing things at each other's cars..plenty of fun times, tried to wait outside Recchione's house to ambush him with snowballs, but Ezak's car died and at first we didn't believe him because they also told us the cops were after us, holy boy cried wolf! Idk, too early for me to write more. Too many papers I should be doing, but so much drama has been going down, that I'm just trying to talk with some people... Sunday was like nothing. Monday;; went shopping with Edo. Knocked my mom off the list, and bought some Victoria's Secret stuff, haha. It was a fun time, I enjoy talking with him. Saw Brendan, John & Dean at the mall too. Giovanni drama started. Reader's Digest version? Small argument, mass suicidal text message, lots of phone calls to me (friends, dorm mates, family), talked til 3 am. Brendan/Will/Brewer/Jeremy drove there. Cheered him up slightly. Someone which I later found out to be one of my best friends so that hurt a lot, told him I was holding Edo's hand & trying on lingerie. LIES. Whatever. Teachers/family/my family found out. His family called his school, psych stuff, asylum v. Brendan, Brendan stayed. -PHEW- So yeah, went to Recchione's since he's so caring and welcoming and friendly and great, chilled there a btit, and went to our special talk spot, and then he finally made a MySpace, listened to some Claudio and MCS, haha. Good times. Wednesday, today. Woke up late for class. Great speaker in CRJ, "anal rape?" haha. Work X-mas party, fun times. Drama, eh. Came home, eventually, went out with Recchione again for some talks and stuff. Went shopping, bought Giovanni something, ran into Bryan, and Bower but he was working. Went to a few other places..picked up Ezak, and went to Colosso where I ran into Joe which was lovely, biiig hugs, fun times there too with the staring, lol, and the karaoke, haha. Dropped off Ezak, and got gas, chilled with Jon and then took him home, CD ordeal, but he's a great guy. Yeah, I'm pissed. Too much going on, too much on my mind, too many unfinished final papers. Too many exams coming up. Don't want to work til 11 tomorrow. Or at all for that matter. Pissed that I'm going to miss Hawthorne Heights/Silverstein & Bayside tomorrow night. GRR. But Panic! is coming on our sixmonth anniversary/two days after my bday, A7X day after, and Taste of Chaos tour that month, so that's cool. I'm not looking forward to the rest of this week. Esp. since Brewer invited me to go up to NYC this weekend with them, which would be lovely, but I know impossible. Well, you know what I mean. Next week better be better. Gio comes home/his birthday/he's probably gonna stay here. Idk, a lot of things you guys don't know are bothering me. I miss a lot of people too. Jerome. Eh. I have pix to upload but it's 1:40 AM & I should get a move on those papers, or the oral presentation I haven't started for tomorrow.. xsighx I suck. At everything. |s|t|e|f|f|a|n|y| |

Goddamn. I can't remember what I did on Saturday.. I thought there was something late night fun-ish though.. ergh. Probably with Brendan && such. (EDIT: Saturday night me, Courtney & Sarah went over Brendan's house so I could dye Will and Dean's hair red, LOL, fun times!) Sunday was nothing as far as I remember. Monday THRICE CONCERT;; went with Recchione, his sister && my sister. Thrice, Circa Survive & MyChemicalRomance BLAH. Met up with Jerome which was a good time even though it was shortlived because he didn't go to the show, haha. And inside met up with JEFFRO long time no see, wish me & him could catch up too,. Met up with Sara & Kim for a while since MCR sucked, Sara took pix with the guys from Circa Survive, and one of 'em liked my Pink Floyd hoodie, lol. Met up with Cutler, Bryan Ball, etc. etc. Good times, good times. Circa was pretty cool, Thrice was awesome I thought. Pushed my way up front, esp. for "Artist in the Ambulance", though protective Recchione objected, awh. At one point in between sets, they played "the Future Freaks Me Out" and you know me & Recchione found each other and sang/danced, haha. He rapped to me LOL. Bought the super cutest Thrice track jacket too. On impulse. So sue me. Afterwards, picked up Quincy & him, Recchione(s), me, Meagan & Bryan went to BK, ate on the hood of my car, lol and took pix & stuff. Tuesday;; guitar was amazing, trying to hook me up with a drummer && some gigs. :) Says I've improved at my soloing/speed. (: Don't quite recall what else I did... Wow. Yesterday;; went to Gio's grandma's with Brendan to drop off a late birthday present, awkward, esp. car moments, Wal-Mart, Media Play - egg nog cappucino and sex books, haha. Met up with Will, who picked up Brewer, Jeremy, Nick Ferrara, and Tim Gadawski and we all went to uh.. Dave & Buster's, that new arcade place in the Eastern Hills Mall, 18+. Much BrendanSteffanyTalkTime lol. In the car on the way home, the whole lot us ended up doing sing along but it was most impressive when it was Thrice, haha. Today;; class, class, work, class, other work, with EDITH and not Aaron so I was sad. And tomorrow she has me doing a FXCKING OVERNIGHT 11:30 til 6AM. ARGH. I'm gonna die. I have 3 papers to do, one was due today, 4 exams to study for, an oral presentation to prepare, etc. etc. I am jealous cuz Giovanni is going to see Dane Cook on SNL. But word on the streets is Gio is coming back for good Xmas break. Which makes me happy and sad. He's so happy there.. xsighx More thoughts later, but right now I am rushed b/c my head hurts & I should sleep now. Jerome wants me to get my hair cut with him tomorrow, lol. Perhaps. So yeahhhhh.. I'm off for now, kids. I forgot a lot of details but hopefully I can make up for it with pix:: ( Let's lead, not follow... ) xOxo; sTeFFaNy* |

cuz we're young & in love Ah, so the last time I updated was Sunday. It is frigging freezing in my basement, where I am located, so this is gonna be a quickee. Monday night was a good time, cuz we actually had a full team of fun players: me, Ashlee, my mom, Ryan P., Chris Smith (who talked with me for a while afterwards, what a sweetie) and Recchione ♥! We even had fans of Bryan Ball, Meagan & Melody. Tuesday night, I had guitar && then straight after that I picked up *mY bOyFRieNd* at the airport, took him out to dinner at Johnny Rocket's and shopped the galleria a tiny bit, bought a Jim Morrison shirt & some stuff. Came home, ate, went out with Bryan Ball to meet up with Carly & Jen at NU, ran into some tough times, but that got sorted out, good stuff. He bought me muchos coconut smelling stuff, mmmm. ^_^ He slept over! >^_^< We didn't sleep one bit though, haha. He's so good at keeping me warmmmmmmm... Ahhh!! I lovers himmm.. Had to wake up extra early, "Alumni Day" at NHFS. Picked up Shawn Sims who I had a nice conversation with && we stopped over at BOCES first. Then to NFHS to see Soda/Brooks, Chiarella & that gangggg, Butcher, Watson who wanted 2 meet Gio because he reminded her of pasta, Mrs. Alex who is all up inour gossip, haha, etc etc. Got to see lots of people who I haven't in a while. Dropped Shawn off at Kraft's and me & Gio went home and napped. Haha. I don't quite recall what we ended up doing, aside from going to Giovanni's house & watching the Sabres game, which angered me so muchat first until the shootout, hecks yes, played with Jaden, and we went to see Jarhead, which was a surprisingly good movie about the USMC, buthey, what did you expect from Jake Gyllenhaal? Haha. Got out really late, so I just dropped Giovanni off, so his g-ma wouldn't kill me. Woke up so late on Thanksgiving, but, showered & all that jazz & then picked up my loverboy.. We had a smallish dinner at my house, to save room for his large Italian family. Dropped him off at GJMann so him and the boys could get a game of pickup football going on, and I headed to Brendan's for some much needed catch-up. Uh, went back to Gio's house for dinner, brought his grandmother some flowers, and played with Jaden a little bit. I enjoy his family muchly. It was a real good time, that is, until Gio & Edo decided to fight & Gio rebroke his hand. I tried to talk to Edo for a little while, b/c he was incredibly upset. I don't care to put all the details out there on this thing though right now. Uh, eventually everything calmed down a bit, and Gio's Zio Frank told me to go upstairs & talk to him, which was nice, and quickly became even more nice, but, 'nuff said about that, you bxtches don't get details, LOL. UHMM..talked to Victor a bit, and eventually ended up getting Brendan and going to see Just Friends RYANREYNOLDSLIKEWHOAAA;; and then chillaxin' @ his place like old times, xsiiighx Will&Dean picked him up and me & Gio went home to my house, and he spent the night again. Got home around 2amish? Talked til like 3? And parents left around..5? So we uh..had ourselves some fun timessss to last us the next 19 days til I get to see him for a good substantial amount of time. Parents didn't even get home til like 10 or 11. Me & Gio stilled messed around some more, haha. Ughhh..I couldn't take him to the airport so on my way to work around 2, I dropped him off at home & we had our good byes... :-\ :-( So yeah, worked til 8 and now here I am. This update sucked, because I left out so much, but excuse me for freezing my ass off. More later lovers, just wanted to get in a quickee. OH&&I have a few pix to load. steffany |

So uhm, yeah. Friday I had a Bio test, that I don't think I did so swell on, I swear, these teachers, and assigning three chapter tests, and me being really proficient in one, and then them testing primarily on the worst one. Gah. Worked, then went to work, thinking I only worked til 8, but no, worked til 11. Me & Aaron had some walkie talkie fun and ordered a pizza, hahaha. Good times. He's good people. And Paul Stephens' nephew, small world! Saturday I finally had a day off. Nothing to do except community service, which was muy enjoyable this week. Because I'm approaching the end of my hours, I conducted some interviews with residents and Terri Martinez (the director and ex-Gazette reporter whom I knew through my dad etc.) I talked to two residents, one which I had an amazing conversation regarding domestic violence with, kind of a quid pro quo thing. I actually think it really helped me out to talk to her, she was dating a black man for fifteen years, he had two black ex wives whom he'd never hit, and had grandchildren by, one granddaughter was born drug dependant, so they wouldn't allow her to come home from the hospital with the mother, so (we'll call the woman Annie), Annie took her in and was her mother for 10.5 years when the beatings/verbal abuse got worse, and she hit him back after he threw a television and such. Hitting him back, he kicked her out, and though there's a lot more to the story she ended up here. Her story was really touching, because not many people realize how big of an issue it is I guess, and she said some really striking things, that I will post when I finish my paper I guess. I had the urge to call Giovanni and thank him for treating me like a princess. :-* I'm lucky. xsighx Saturday night I DID NOT WORK thankthelord!! YAY! Rejoice!! I don't recall much of what I did, I was superly over excited when Chauncey called to tell me he was intown with his boyfriend, Casey, and wanted to hang out, but I had to wake up at 5 for work, so things didn't work out for that night. But I did get to talk to Sarah & Liz very muchly at Tops, that was a good time, we really need to hang out more, lol, Degrassi haha. And I harassed Edo muchly who wanted to chillax but I had to wake up sorry guys & dolls. Bought muchos caffeinated beverages though, haven't utilized them yet. He was supposed to call today and hang out. :-\ Oh well. Today I woke up at 5, showered & rushed out the door. Me & Aaron arrived at the same time. And I was a lot less tired than I expected, very not zombie like, though it was REALLY STUPID of EDITH whomistillhateverymuch to put TWO STRICTLY NIGHT SHIFT PEOPLE meandaaron on the morning, of a DRILL WEEKEND when 110 people had to check out. So yeah, we were really busy from 6am-8am, people kept throwing keys at me, other minor difficulties. I got to talk to Steve who's new to Linen a little bit, him & Aaron play tricks on Diane (Housekeeping) with the walkie talkies, haha, we have such an interesting cast of characters. When Aaron leaves, I am too, LOL. He keeps things fun, and is one of the interesting folk, that I actually converse with. So uh yeah, both of us hungry & bored most of the day. As I came back from restocking Bldg. 508, one of the Chefs from the Club asked me if I want some free food, and duh like free food + me & Aaron = like whoa. So we ate & I closed my bank, balanced & left. And I won't be working again until Friday, because Mondays&Tuesdays I always call off because of volleyball ( A COMMITMENT THAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT SEEM TO GET grrr ) and guitar, and Giovanni is coming up Tuesday night (so is Courtneyy!!) and we're having two dinners I believe, one at my house & one at his, for Turkey Day. So I took off both Wed. & Thurs. Friday I only work 2-8, and if all goes as planned Gio leaves on Sunday. After work today, I ran over to the mall to visit Chauncey & his boyfriend, got to meet his sister's baby too! Many a hug to Chauncey for I have missed him greatly. Since then I have come home and napped, and I should do homework that I forgot about & call my cupcake. Hehe. Talk to you all later. Here's some pix that (for the most part)weren't off my camera-- ( we fail at everything we ever even try to attempt;; ) +S+T+E+F+F+A+N+Y+ |

So yeah, yesterday I woke up really early so I could get to campus early and register early for classes for next semester, because the Honors kids, such as myself, get to register early. Yep, even got a spot in Castellani lot. But, stupid computers wouldn't let me register, so I ran around campus in the rain trying to figure things out, everything was closes, my advisor is out of town, etc etc. before eventually having my mom come down to campus, to release a hold on my account at Student Accounts. Finally, when I went to register classes, 2 of them were closed, one I fit into another time slot, but the other was entirely closed, and so were like all of my other Gen. Ed. requirements, gr! So I didn't know what else I needed, so eventually I fixed everything else up like.. 2 pm. So this is what I'm stuck with for next semester, it's not too bad, didn't get to take one of the classes I was looking forward to, and have to start earlier than expected on TTH, but it's not too shabby. Media Literacy, Media Programming & Management, Honors Religion, World Literature, Contemporary American History. Meh. So yeah, Subway. Then to work. Then home to write a paper/study for Psych. Not too much studying got done though b/c I couldn't find the course website. Gr. Long talks with Gio. :-\ Psych test, ehhh. DiCamillo's pizzzaaa.. Invites to play DDR, haha. Writing class, eh. Work. Communications: Toxic Sludge is good for you. Work. Lost my voice for like three hours. Not so good. Started to snow a bit, ERGH. Some guy parked next to me on campus with his car COVERED in snow, I was like :-X oh no! Got out at 8, finished some school stuff, talked to Gio a tiny bit, I need to study for Bio test tomorrow. :-\ Talking to Roger & Victor online. Tomorrow: Classes, work, then other work til 8. Saturday community service then nothing. YES! Sunday- work from SIX AM til ONE PM. I'm probably going to die, but at least it's with Aaron. I'm not getting too many hours, b/c Mondays & Tuesdays are restricted, and I can't work on days Pam does, and I said no day before Thxgiving for Gio reasons, so I am working the day after Thxgiving. And then, Dec. 2 THREE to MOTHEREFFING MIDNIGHT that's gonna be hell, and the 8th 4-11, 9th 3-11. Grawr. :-\ 10th&11th I'll be in NYC. Anywho, I'm out, it's 11pm. I need to start sleeping, and studying. Like whoa. Also should probably do some CRJ reading..heh. OH&& I have pix to load, esp. the ones of me, Caitlin & Ashlee from volleyball, lol, good times! ♥ || Steffany || |

So uhm, for starters, Saturday was work with Nasreen who's nice & laid back, and then community service, where I babysat a little. Went to see my sister's play again, and afterwards, hung out with Brewer, Cutler, Dean, etc etc. Ended up going to the "cast party" at Sammy's where it was like, Cutler, Dean who we dressed up as an inflatable sumo wrestler, Melody, Meagan, Markus the German exchange kid, Brewer, Audrey, Earl and the gross food, ..etc etc. Bounced & stopped at Colosso, took my mom's car, and then drove some kids home, right? Until Recchione calls around midnight wanting to hang out, so we went to a playground among other things, eventually got kicked out of another playground by the po-lice. GAY. Saw Brendan for .5 seconds. Uhm..I'm trying to rush this, so... Sunday, morning shift, with Tracie, who's pretty nice. Picked up Dean & got gas, did homework, and had an incredibly long and ridiculously pointless conversation with McGovern on the internet. She best get the FXCK out of my life. >_< Last night, I had volleyball. So it ended up being, me, my mom, Ashlee, Caitlin, Ryan Poole (YAY haven't seen him in madd long) and Dean & Meatball watched, so we let Dean aka Richard Simmons play. Haha, it was a good time, though we lost, eh. No biggie. Fun times, cute pix, haha. Wish I had my cam, hopefully Ashlee & Caitlin can send me 'em though. Uh.. afterwards, me & Ryan & Dean went out driving, and to 7-11, PEPSI SLURPEES, haha. Talking is nice, catching up. :) I miss a lot of people. Today, classes. Guitar. My mom's birthday. Wanted to take her out to dinner, but had a Psych experiment for 20 pts. extra credit. Stopped at Colosso with Dean beforehand. Found out something interesting from Jordan which caused a big ruckus. >.> Now I'm just talking with my baby. I gotta wake up early & register for classes tomorrow, met with my adviser and he has me down for two CMS classes (Media Literacy and Media Programming or something), ENG100 (Intro to Lit), PHI100 (Philosophy) and REL, honors Religion, GAY. So yeah tomorrow: registering, classes, work, then other work until 8 pm, then I should probably revise that one paper for Brox. I joined Courtney's group. She's cool. Wow I can't wait until this week is over. I was really excited cuz I got to talk to my Chauncey today!! :) YAY I MISS HIM SO! Him and his boyfriend are coming up soon so hopefully they can visit me!! And saw Mattie around online today, I need to talk to him && Steven!! Hehe. I miss those boys like you wouldn't believe, I miss so much stuff! OH and some people really suck though. Gr. Changes, eh. More later. Sabres games soon. I HEART GIR OHSO MUCH. And basset hounds. xinsert squealy noise herex So much more I wanna type, b/c I've been feeling kind of blah about some things, but I should go tend to other things for the time being, I'm out for now lovers. My boyfriend is better than yours. Haha. xP xX Steffany Xx |
