thanks for the note. i swear, i'm still young, but i can feel my body aging, especially with all these problems. i hope i have babies soon and am able to!

from rainforme :

i got it!! 36-24-26... only if she's 5'3"! i like big butts! it's from that sir mixalot song. oh god, i am such a turd.

from rainforme :

oh f that. i just measured my waist to be sure and it's a 30. so, nevermind. haha.

from rainforme :

i think it works both ways... guys see skinny hot chicks and think of them as being nothing but skinny hot chicks... no brain, just bod, you know? how is that better than them seeing me as fat and gross? at least they stay away and don't lead me on when i'm fat. eh. lusting and liking are two difft things. you can lust over the shallow, but you can never like it. you get what i mean? i would never think less of someone who was overweight, i would just never lust over them. anywho... btw 36-28-36 are about my measurements and i'm a solid size 10. so... no ideal skinny chick here. ;)

from angelicagirl :

I did it, I did it ! Muahahaha.

from rainforme :

i have this horrible thing, where i am uninterested at first and the boys are into me, then just when i start to like them... they lose interest. i will give this one a try, because i like that comfortable feeling... but you just wait... now that i care an iota, he'll care not at all. thanks though.

from angelicagirl :

Yay, indeed (: I just hope it's not some huge joke, like "oh, hah, sorry, our bad, we registered you when you're actually just a big loser who doesn't belong at our school." So I'll be freaking out until I have my letter. But this is still uplifting. <3

from soulepiphany :

Oh, no, listen listen! It happened last year, too! And it's not the regualr chocolate, only the BUNNIES!!! Since when are BUNNIES a sign of forboding and lsd flashbacks?? I don't know. I'm watching When Harry met Sally and it's making me remarkably sad, oddly enough. It used to make me happy. She's crying on Harry because Joe is getting married. I'm over crying on men. Anyway, I'm off to go to the bar. Mmmm, bar.

from rubyfuss :

Wow... your pictures from Japan are beautiful! I absolutely love them. You've got some postcard-ready stuff there. Wow. I'm so happy for you and your happiness with your boy! And it's spring. Good times! I haven't been to the Pour House in forevah. I like it there. The Bukowski's we go to is in Inman square, though I've been to the other one too. We just get so lazy and stay on the Cambridge side of the rivah because we're dorks. :-)

from soulepiphany :

Meg, are we seriously both all happy and enchanted and shit? IS it possible that we both know where we are? No way. Tell me it isn't so...

from angelicagirl :

Your entries are entrancing lately.

from rainforme :

sigh, you lucky duck. enjoy it.

from amazingagain :

my bf used the turbotax online thing and its worked for him the last few years.

from rainforme :

don't do it! don't go to H&R. it's really not that hard to do your own... i think you could get away with a 1040EZ. get the little booklet from the post office or go online. really, it's not that hard and it will save you $50.

from mnnicegirl :

I get my taxes done through H&R and it's only been $50.00. Hope this helps!

from rainforme :

mmmm.. jail bait. gaww... i have entire classrooms full, every.single.day.

from evolver :

I was all the way to the point of sending my credit card info to buy the domain when I realized how disastrous my rep might be if someone forgot the hyphen :/ Hmm, one way or another I think I will be buying a domain soon now, and you'll be first on my list to offer a subdomain :)

from evolver :

I know exactly how you feel about nervousness. I feel like I've long overcome my shyness, but still, when I have to do something "professional" or talk to a stranger, even in the most benign situations, something happens to me physically and I start acting like a frightened child. I don't really feel it mentally, but I can't stop myself from acting that way. It's what I meant in my last entry about wishing to *appear* (rather than actually be) normal. It's very frustrating. Let me know if you ever figure out how :)

from omnipre5ence :

Good guess. :)

from omnipre5ence :

Oh, and I may seem familiar because I'm Parlance. And yes, the layout is very similar. :)

from omnipre5ence :

Ahh, I'm in agreement with you right there. Like I said, anything online is as real as you choose to make it. If you're both honest, I think it's completely possible to have a successful friendship and/or romantic relationship. I just wish people weren't so close-minded about the online stigma that it's 75% pedophiles. Pretty much everyone I've come in contact with has been really friendly. :)

from circleline :

Hey, I randomly looked up your diary expecting it to have been locked/deleted (since that was the last time I read it) only to find...YOU'RE STILL HERE! It was me, btw, who read like, all the entries since then in one go (in case you looked at your site stats and got freaked out by the apparent lurker). Good to see you're still around, I'm over at LJ now, username avenues_ (it's friends only, but leave a note). Take care!

from irishblueyes :

hi. kind of found you randomly and you have fantastic music taste. just wanted to say hey and let you know i was reading.

from omnipre5ence :

How're you?

from omnipre5ence :

Hi.

from angelicagirl :

sigh. you're such a talented writer, and you always put it so well. today's entry was really thought-inducing, and for that I am forever in your debt.

from rainforme :

i don't think you're crazy. i thought that entry was beautiful, so many people take the profound effect of touching lightly and they shouldn't. well written.

from mnnicegirl :

I know EXACTLY how you feel about zach. Best of luck, and trust your instincts. I'll be doing the same. Happy holidays. Becky

from rainforme :

heya. thanks for the bday wishes. i have one of those sony something or others... heh. yeah, i'm real camera savvy. it's 3.2 megapixels, but they also have one with 5. i love it.

from angelicagirl :

I'm probably going to get him the Kodak Easyshare, with the printer dock ... I'm sure there are some better-quality ones out there, but for my budget it's the best one. Plus my mom has that and swears by it. And it's pretty nifty to be able to print the pictures out as your own convenience, too.

from rainforme :

vodka cokes rock the house!

from london-times :

Thanks for your note and actually reading the project, lol. As I was posting it I thought to myself, I *know* no one is going to read it, but I consoled myself by thinking that I could reread it myself in a few months, and marvel that I actually got it done ahead of schedule. . .yet still all in one night, some things never change. And about your Irish guy, what fun. I love when random things like that happen!

from wildlotus3 :

u made out with him because of one song and some vodka and coke? You go girl! thats exactly what I would have done

from angelicagirl :

I know what you mean about being flat broke. It's been quite the experience on my end too ... (I'm starting to really loathe ramen noodles and kraft dinner) and yet, somehow, I manage to scrounge up enough for concerts and movies every other weekend. Oh well ... Must remember to make allowances for the important things :)

from xparrynightx :

Hey Meghan, thanks for the message. It's weird, but you don't really feel like a "near stranger". I've been reading you so long it almost feels like we know each other somehow. Weird, huh? My friend in Boston also has been encouraging me to move out there. If Minnesota had gone for Bush I was going to. I'm still considering it but moving across the country may be more scariness than I can deal with on top of everything else right now. Anyhow, I'm glad to know there are other sane people left in this world and thanks again for your words of support. :)

from angelicagirl :

Not a problem. And I'll start clearing out a corner for you ... You may need it. Hope you don't mind the irritating cats :)

from london-times :

Don't forget San Francisco in your new country. You know, I was raised a patriot, and I still love what our nation was based upon: the constitution. But since that won't really be relevant anymore, I might just stay in England. I don't know if I could bear it any other way. I can't believe how much this hurts.

from wildlotus3 :

hey im glad you liked the entry! more power to us right? :-) by the way you have awsome taste in music movies and books. i saw matt nathanson live and he is amazing. hes really dirty and funny too which is awsome. keep writing girl! later__nisha__

from karaokekatey :

I've been kinda M.I.A. for awhile. I'm still lurking around a bit, writing when the inspiration comes. Take care ♥

from rainforme :

hey there! sure, i would love to send you a postcard. just e-mail me an address. i should be going to some pretty nice places in the next couple weeks, so i'll find you a good one.

from parlance :

Mm, good answer, thanks for the compliment.

from rubyfuss :

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm sorry to make you cry! On a lighter note--I've been saying I'm going to write in Jon Stewart for some time now. Our whole system is so fucked! Stupid faker politicians and stupid politics. There's my juvenile two cents. *Hugs* to you too, Meghan. -Jenn

from thetoxicsoul :

Hi. I really like the way your write your diary entries. Hope graduate school goes well for you.

from amazingagain :

yay yay yay

from angelicagirl :

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay !

from soulepiphany :

I'm glad you're back. I was sad to be locked out in the cold.

from bulmachan :

hey, wha' happened? [email protected]

from soulepiphany :

Miss you. Interesting things going on. Talk to you soon. ~sara

from jelybeanie32 :

Hey hun, It's been a long time since I've pais any attention to Diaryland, and now you're gone! If you're still around, won't you please let me know? [email protected]

from deedlit999 :

Okie dokie, sorry it took me so long to get back....it's deedlit999@hotmailDOTcom. :) Thanx!

from joyfulgirl21 :

ok, i figured out what's going on from the notes below... could you send me the new link too? joyfulgirl21 AT diaryland.com

from karaokekatey :

have a good summer. take care. ♥

from deedlit999 :

Dang, what'd I miss? I was still trying to catch up, then I hit 'next' & I'm locked out. Are you ok girly?

from karaokekatey :

[email protected]

from missblackie :

*poke* Not sure what's happening with the diary. I gather from the notes below that you've moved. Could you send me the new address, because I really enjoy your writing. sparkly_punk(at)hotmail(dot)com.

from mnnicegirl :

That sucks! But be thankful it was only your sister... ;o) [email protected]

from rainforme :

[email protected]

from musicchick44 :

Boo to that. I'd like the new diary link - [email protected]

from evolver :

ugh, that sucks! what a nightmare... thinking about family members finding your diary. Anyway, shoot me the new addy at brayl AT marietta.edu :) Take care!

from ending-here :

gosh that sucks. it happens to the best of us though. [email protected], i'd love to keep reading.

from angelicagirl :

Sigh. Super drag. Apparently half the kids at my old high school read my journal and spend their time hassling my sister about it; when I went to visit my sister at school they kept shooting me these odd sideways glances. When I finally asked she goes, "yeah someone started reading it and now it's the new thing." In an effort to make myself more appealing to 15 year-olds, I might have to start tipig horibly on purpuse, so please forgive me. anyway you know where I'm at: angelicagirl_ at hotmail.com. Bye :)

from circleline :

Argh, I know how that feels...circleline AT diaryland.com

from amazingagain :

ahh, i just had to do the moving thing not too long ago...it sucks. :( anyway, i'm snafu2000 AT aol.com

from xparrynightx :

oh dear... you may already know it but: parrynight at hotmail dot com

from amazingagain :

hope ya have fun with matt tonight!

from musicchick44 :

my sister watches summerland...ok, ok...i sort of do too.

from rainforme :

thanks, i will! i know, i don't know how people can handle wars or hospitals or anywhere there are hurt people. it makes me a pile of trembly mush.

from angelicagirl :

summerland is my new obsession -grin-

from amazingagain :

i know the being alone thing. ;-/ raaaaaaar. anyway, i wanted to say nice new layout! :)

from musicchick44 :

Thank you for the guestbook signing...It made my day. I wanted to ask tho: I can't click on any of the links on your diary, and I didn't know if that was on purpose, or...not. Heh. Just a head's up tho. :o)

from circleline :

aaah, thank you...evil boys will be the ruin of us all!

from amazingagain :

yep moms are crazy. i don't know about the matt show. i find out if im working or not this friday...it all depends on that! maybe i'll see you there!

from amazingagain :

yeah i did, whats your email again?

from amazingagain :

congrats on graduation!

from circleline :

conGRADulations!! sorry, couldn't resist!

from parlance :

:) thank you. i will try to. i promise.

from parlance :

Oh, Oasis :) Noel Gallagher -- mmmhm.

from rainforme :

hi. just wanted to say i hope your paper went well and i think it's awesome what you did for your friend's dad. take care.

from karaokekatey :

fuckin' kickass, yes, matt is so awesome.

from missblackie :

I think it's hard for anyone to know what to do or say in that situation. My best friend's grandfather died a few months ago, and I had no idea how to help her. I've never experienced a loss like that. I think all you can do is make sure they know you're there if they need to talk.

from euphoriac :

Oh! That's cool. you wouldn't happen to uh....live in Calgary or anything, would you?

from rainforme :

man oh man... the price we pay for love. :| hey, good luck on that apt. hope josh is a coolio roommate, wink wink. take care.

from euphoriac :

awesome let's do it! wait a sec...who are you?

from bsmtapt :

DON'T LIVE WITH BOYS YOU HAVE CRUSHES ON (especially not if they're named Josh; too weird). I wrote the book on that this past year, and trust me, even though you already know it's not the best idea you've ever had, it only gets worse. Of course, if it turns out you're not attracted to him, it's not a problem.

from rainforme :

thanks. eh, you don't want that job. :) i'm actually very envious of you going off to grad school, something i could never commit to and i sort of wished i had!

from rainforme :

college classes ending, an exciting new beginning. good luck with everything.

from xparrynightx :

"familiarity brings comfort. and i am terrified of leaving it" - I can relate. I really like what you said about not remembering the process of learning to do something. I've thought about that every time I move and have to learn a new neighborhood and new things. I get anxious about silly things like finding a new grocery store and getting to work and after a few months it's like I always just knew but can't remember the "discovery" process or something. I'm rambling now. Point = empathy/understanding/you rock :)

from amazingagain :

jones beach rocks!!! any change you'll be seeing barenaked ladies + alanis in july?

from karaokekatey :

Oh heck!!! I have spent the afternoon downloading matt nathanson. I love it! Thank you so much. take care. XOXO.

from rainforme :

oh and of course post pics of jack... that'll open the pocket books right up. mmm.. jack! :) take care.

from rainforme :

i know what you mean! i've spent over a thousand this year alone. in central park though?!? how wonderful. you HAVE to go. you should start a g love fundraiser!! i will start the contribution with $10. through paypal, for real, i will. post some pics of him and make a splashy campaign! you can do it!!

from brideof7less :

I know what you mean about not feeling like an adult and yet moving on to adult pursuits. Everytime I think about having gotten into a PhD program, I think, "Wow, I'm getting old."

from trickykid :

I feel you on the thesis thing. It's so annoying to be that close to finishing and then find yourself completely lacking all ambition. Press on, friend. Be that whore for achievment and laurels.

from rainforme :

i struggle with how my writing has changed as well... but these are diaries and i tell myself that part of the beauty of them is to read how people grow and change... plus "poetry, pumpkin bread and poison" - come on! that's some good stuff!

from circleline :

Yeah, it's one of those books that just sort of sucks you in...I'd recommend it, definitely (and in fact am reading it due to recommendations from satisfied friends...)

from rainforme :

thank you for the support. sigh. damn boys.

from xparrynightx :

Thanks for the entry comment :). I gave my friend (Christy) your diary url and your e-mail address. I think you two might hit off! And if all worked out I'd definitely have occasion to come meet you as well. -Sarah

from amazingagain :

where in NY are your parents? i'm from long island. :)

from brideof7less :

Thanks! I'll probably end up meeting your friend then, because in September all the Germany grantees are meeting up for a conference in Bremen. I think your new idea for a Fulbright is fantastic. Czech is a difficult language to learn, but language ability is so essential and boosts your chances for the award tremendously. Good luck!

from missblackie :

Thank you, m'dear. I'm glad I could make you laugh. Being locked in a bathroom stall for a half hour really gives you some perspective on your life. Plus, it was really fun to kick the door open *g*.

from rainforme :

just read your entry... i tend to be an intellectual conversation snob myself. i have the same problems as you with my now ex-roommate. weird, being friends for 6 years and living together for 1, yet... still there is something that holds me back from opening up. anyway, great entry... take care.

from rainforme :

amen. i know good things are worth the wait, but... i'm dying here!

from london-times :

If California is your promised land, here are some guidelines (hehe): (A) Los Angeles is not NEARLY as cool as people think it is, stay away, it's mostly nasty. (B) The Coast is all gorgeous but don't go too much inland farther south since (see A). (C) San Francisco is the only CITY worth seeing. It's like an oasis. . .Okay I am VERY biased and an S.F. snob (everyone is who lives there lol), but you should definitely see the coastland which IS gorgeous.

from amazingagain :

haha. a bon jovi shirt. ROCK ON! :)

from amazingagain :

I think you're funny. :)

from missblackie :

You are not alone with your neck fetish, hon. I think a long, smooth neck on a guy is one of the sexiest things in the world. Makes me want to bite it. You know, just a little. Embrace your vampire complex, that's what I say *g*.

from olei :

um, matt nathanson can't be (other) megan's, because she didn't even know about him 'till i told her. :P he's the best! i can't wait for him to come back to denver. (are you a member of the matt nathanson ring i run on dland?)

from missblackie :

Just wanted to let you know I really loved your latest entry. You're so right. Sometimes we set our sights on large goals, and we don't see the small, unintended successes that arise from our rush to achieve them.

from bsmtapt :

I recently started going to church for the first time and I've found religion to be a very comforting and stabilizing force in my life right now. It's weird though, because it's not really acceptable to talk about it ... yeah, those were just my thoughts. Rejoice in small victories! "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11)

from kshamorian :

hey meghan, I just wanted to say thanks for reading my journal. I like yours alot. And yes, Matt Nathanson rocks all!! I play guitar, write, and sing as well so if you wanna check out some of my Matt Nathanson covers you can go to expectedmiracles.com. Keep writing

from missblackie :

I'm glad I inspired you :D. Really, though, there's nothing better than walking along to a song with a really kickin beat, and hitting just the right stride, like you're in some kind of music video. Love it.

from amazingagain :

where in VT are you going this weekend? i might be up there with my family...

from xparrynightx :

my best friend lives in allston right now. she's looking to move out in july and maybe you two would get along. she can't afford a place on her own. if you're interested i'll send you her e-mail address...

from angelicagirl :

I can help you with the layout if you want ... Nothing better to do, you know. So lemme know.

from amazingagain :

i'm megan and matty boy is MINE!

from amazingagain :

you must have good taste in music. :) check your email!

from london-times :

Me again. Even if you were rejected from NA, the BC acceptance is still an accomplishment; it's an excellent school. Also, you have made your parent proud, which is important to almost all people (whether or not they will admit it). Good luck in your decision and hopefully it will lead to great things!

from london-times :

HEY thanks for the note, and I see from your profile that we have things in common: a student (hopefully perpetually as well), city lover, beach dweller, U2, coldplay, cold beer, good books. lord of the rings, good conversation, london. So here's my diary, username: person and password: letmein. . . though I have been lax on it lately; I tend to do nothing and then have big long entries in one outburst, but hopefully you enjoy!

from missblackie :

Oh, I so agree that the way Bertuzzi lost it was a scary thing, and there's no doubt that he deserves punishment. The thing is though, hockey's such a passionate, emotional sport, and his team was getting severely beaten (that's an understatememt). Even the best of us lose our cool at times, and I don't think it's right to completely villify him for what he did. Some people seem to have a hard time remembering that the players are still human, and therefore have human emotions. (BTW, thanks for recommending Matt Nathanson. I checked out some of his stuff, and I think I might love him *grin*)

from missblackie :

Hey, thank you for the note. And I see that you have fabu taste as well (Bono is a god. A GOD, I say). Also, I'd like to say how utterly JEALOUS I am that you've met Howie Day. Consider yourself added to my faves *grin*.

from cl0udburst :

i wanted your dl name..:( but u must like oasis..so yay for you

from u2october :

thank you. now if i could only get my relatives to remember it.

from rainforme :

i think the term is quantity versus quality. you're going to find quality.

from superclrk1 :

Meghan- Tracked down your article on Matt's webpage. Loved it!!! Keep loving the music, it sets us all free. I'm praying for you and your grad apps. Good luck. Cheers, SuperClrk1

from circleline :

I never missed a deadline until...second semester of my Honours year. And then the lack of consequences meant I wished I had done it earlier!

from milkshook :

I love Matt Nathanson, and therefore I love you too. I met him at a concert and he was sweaty and he gave me a hug, and I made him autograph a poster and a CD, and the poster says "Sam is my hero" and it's hanging above my bed.

from soulepiphany :

In a bottle, sadly.

from rainforme :

there is no point without believing. i believe. i will always believe.

from p3-corr :

thanks for the note, thought i'd say hi, and bono does rock ;)

from p3-corr :

thanks for the note, thought i'd say hi, and bono does rock ;)

from xparrynightx :

there is nothing wrong with you my dear :). you are wonderful. you just weren't right for him. or he just didn't get it. and if he didn't get what he had when he had you, he doesn't deserve you.

from rainforme :

my last little note was NOT nice... we can share him. anyway, totally agree! i am so excited to find a fellow dave matthews fan or to play it for someone who is not familiar with him. hey! i bet you'd be happy to know, I AM a new matt fan. got the fireworks cd. good stuff. in the spirit of all this music talk, thanks for SHARING such a yummy as him! :)

from rainforme :

tom brady is MY boyfriend. hmmph.

from meggie816 :

AHH! Matt Nathanson is on AOL radio RIGHT NOW (5:13pm, eastern standard time, if you wondered) and I'm freakin' out because I've never heard him before, and now I feel in the loop. Now, THAT'S diaryland sisterhood for ya'.

from xander :

Plato said that almost every relationship begins from a base of need. Be that physical or emotional.

from barenaked500 :

Yes, Matt Nathanson does rule and yes my brother is going there. :)

from rainforme :

funny... i was ordering cds from columbia house and looked him up because of you, but they don't have any. i might just have to make a trip to the store for one more purchase. :)

from superclrk1 :

the similarities just keep piling up... it's pretty intriguing, i tell you that

from evolver :

Best of luck in your final semester and all your plans for what follows! Just the thought of being a senior next year is immobilizingly terrifying for me, I can't imagine actually being in your position. But I'm sure you will have a fantastic time, and maybe I can pick up a few pointers from you along the way! :)

from implosive :

1) THE INTELLIGENCE ISSUE: I'm going to have to be sort of a prick and say that I'd prefer a partner of equal or lesser intelligence, not greater intelligence. This is in large part because I pride myself on my intelligence as one of the few qualities which distinguishes me from the pack and makes me a 'worthwhile' person. Having someone surpass me in one of the few areas I have some confidence in would make me feel intensely insecure. It's a matter of areas of intelligence as well: a partner could be smarter than me in areas where I don't excel -- science, math, philosophy, etc. -- and I would find that really interesting, but I would not be comfortable dating someone who was more skilled at writing or at political studies. While having an equal in those areas would be sort of unnerving, I think I would find it stimulating and worthwhile without being too threatening. 2) THE BORING ISSUE: I haven't found you boring lately; you do write about your limbo well. I think I have a tendency to 'self-affect' at times that I'm bored or feel my writing has faltered -- lots of (self-styled or otherwise) 'artists' do this, dredging up negative emotions or encouraging themselves to get into negative situations in order to have more inspiration. I am in the process of convincing myself that I'd rather be bored and uncertain than miserable. I hope you come to the same conclusion. XOXO.

from rainforme :

heh. i'm half asian... so, i half suck at driving. i'd much rather be irish. erin go bragh!

from xparrynightx :

added you on friendster. you just have to confirm or something. i haven't really figured out much on there yet.

from xmeggiiex :

hey thanks :D ill be adding u to my faves :) not too many people have the best name in the world ;)

from superclrk1 :

I think you are NOT giving yourself enough credit here. Boring? Ha, anything but boring. It seems to me that your just suffering from a minor case of what i like to call life. It has its ups and downs (and sideways, and diagonals, and ... well you get the idea). Anyway, you're life is still exciting to us who don't live it day in and out. Monotony is boredom's ugly cousin (or is it second-cousin... i never can figure that out). So, to answer the obvious craziness... you still rock in my book. I cross my fingers for your grad school and for your escape from the potential black hole. We're all hanging on the edge there now and again, just don't give in (i.e. don't call yourself boring) :)

from xparrynightx :

Well, I don't feel that I HAVE to say anything, but I do want to. Your writing has not gotten worse or less interesting at all. I feel even more akin to you these days. Perhaps it's because I'm feeling the same and going through a similar life phase or something. I too am waiting for or on the edge of something and also wonder if it may indeed be that black hole you mention. I suppose we're just in transition though. I too feel like my writing used to have something more to it. I've chalked up the downslope to more "real life friends" as readers, no love interests, growing up, and other things, but maybe you just can't see the depth or insight in the moment when you are in it. I don't know. :)

from meggie816 :

Ooh, this is a good one. Equal intelligence, without a doubt. Here's the way I see it: if the guy's LESS intelligent than me, then at some point it will become some kind of issue, either I'll start behaving condesendingly, or he'll accuse me of it, etc etc etc. Also, I'm sick of doing other people's homework. And, if the boy is MORE intelligent, I'll constantly feel pressured to be as intelligent as he is (which might make me work harder. . .or develop a massive inferiority complex). Either way, we both need to be able to respect each other, and thus, believe each other to be of the same intelligence and ability level. Then there's the added bonus of having someone of equal intelligence: they get it. If you want to have a smarty-pants discussion, you can (without fear of humiliatiing either of you) and if you want to act like a total goof you can too (because you guys are both capable if being goofy AND intelligent!) Thus, dating a guy of equal intelligence is definitely the way to go.

I would prefer someone who is less knowledgeable in some areas (e.g. my major areas of study) but more knowledgeable in others. Intelligence, in and of itself, would be equal. I don't really think that the question is so cut and dry though. It would be fine to date someone more intelligent as long as they were not overly arrogant or ostentatious about it. At the same time, it can be difficult to date someone less intelligent, specifically someone excessively so, because it would just generally lead to less compatibility, less fodder for conversation, etc. Interesting question. I'll be looking forward to the results.

from rainforme :

you're welcome. i like reading your diary, you have a sweetness to you and it shines so lovely through your entries. shawshank is a masterpiece... i feel honored to have reminded you of it. happy new year.

from superclrk1 :

Thank you for the message. It meant a lot to me to know that somebody noticed what I felt. Good luck with your new year, and I hope that 2004 brings you good times. I enjoy reading of a life so similar to mine, and this just makes the connection that much greater. Happy New Year to you in New York.

from xparrynightx :

my life feels much the same these days... that was a lovely entry :)

from nesotte :

Hey, I fellow New Yorker college student on diaryland! I go to Hunter, and you??? I've been feeling just as you had before your latest stints with the new york nightlife, and its rather difficult to meet friends. you're an interesting read, and have a lot in common with me. i'm going to read some of your past entries now. drop me a note if you'd like.

from bsmtapt :

I think the real hottness on the Coldplay DVD is Guy Berryman (I remain jealous of your Guy Berryman dream from back in the day). Especially while shopping for 45s wearing a Communist scythe shirt. Oh, be still my beating heart. I watched the documentary like four times in a week when I first got it.

from enid37 :

hey! you commented in my blog and i followed your link over here. i just wanted to say that you have rockin' taste in music. :)

from ending-here :

happy birthday!!

from soulepiphany :

Tell me he didnt really ask you how HE was....and jesus, did you really run away? I'm gonna kill you. Not in a "I need a psychiatric evaluation" kind of way, more in a "Don't you dare be so dumb ever again!" kind of way. Yes.

from deedlit999 :

Thanks to your entry about the headphones & whatnot, I am SUPER paranoid at work now when I have mine on, heh heh! BTW, that song rules. :)

from xparrynightx :

i think i'm living in that same perpetual fantasy land... oh where are you intellectual hockey players with good taste in music?

from xander :

Damn, I thought I was in the running till I read Hockey Player. Does roller hockey count? Just saying hi. Later Days;-)

from superclrk1 :

Welp, you were right (the newest entry not withstanding) it seems that you and I have some great things in common. I look forward to reading your diary now that I know it's there. Thanks for the heads up. Keep on rocking!

from sbspsd :

Hi there. This is Sepia Reviews. We're currently looking for reviewers so could you help us out by reviewing for us? It's a diary a week or so - nothing heavy (more if you can!). Let us know. Thank you!

from sarahsmells :

I like your diary :)

from brideof7less :

Greetings! I've been meaning to drop you a note since I added you to my favorites some time ago. I also applied for the Fulbright and would be interested in hearing more about your project. I completely sympathize with all you have said about the application process, the GRE, and all the other fun stuff we graduating seniors get to do.

from spikyhead :

meghan, if there's anything i could do right now, i would take the A train to rockaway beach and look at the ocean with you and listen to "a long december". i know you aren't there, but still. please email me your address [escape_well at yahoo dot com] so i can send you my zine. love ocean

from despite- :

i am tschein, but this is my post-depression time, most of it comes from my beautiful perfect innocent girlfriend, leaving me after 2 and a half years because of meth, and my thoughts on life as it is now, you seem like you have a lot of hope, just like she did, she gave up on me. i hope you don't give up, life is what you make it, sucks eh.

from bsmtapt :

I know exactly what you mean (by 10/19/03) -- this year definitely isn't living up to my own expectations either, and the weariness and detachment ... yeah. Not good times. (I used to be/still am implosive.)

from frozenrain79 :

Thanks! I know, I should let go of him...its just hard. : (

from factorygirl :

Yup you sure can have the password! Email me (factorygirlATdiarylandDOTcom) and I'll send it right out...

from frozenrain79 :

hey...the song "wonderwall" by Oasis is the beast... : )

from eight-9-3 :

We're all fundamentally alone, by choice or otherwise. As Theroux once said, "I'm yet to find a companion so companionable as solitude".

from tschein :

consistantly rambling from a mind placed between a rabbit hole and the white princess of narnia, i'm not secondary placement in the race of retards, but my wheelchair needs some oil. i can't seem to keep it on strait, but i'm not into talking out loud, writing is all i have left, and then my hand got cut off, i guess typing one handed never felt so good, is it an accomplishment or what? that or a lie. msg back why doncha ;x

from izzabel044 :

heyy there

from tschein :

hmm, im just another guy, tschein was my diaryland through love, through high school, i loved her. wonderwall was our song, it's weird your a girl. the diaryland i had after tschein, was despite-.diaryland.com should leave me a note, er somethin enjoy the wangfish irl

from thisdecember :

your current entry is the most beautiful thing i've ever read. makes me wish for even a taste of that salt water.

from myrainstorm :

what is it about? IM me AIM: Deborah1302 Yahoo: rain1302 MSN: [email protected]

from jzyjsmalls :

Yo wassup, thanks for the nice note! I'm a Cali person all the way, and a beach bum too, but unfortunately for me, where I live the two don't really mix. The water here's coooold!! Then again, if you have a wetsuit, and you're a surfer...but I digress. So, Stanford for grad school? What subject? And I would say, go for it! Stanford's great!! I'm happy as can be here, in school and out (I live right near Stanford). Btw, I'm pretty fond of New York, too. My sister and a bunch of other relatives live there, and I always go and check out the jazz clubs when I visit. Have a nice day! :-D

from whitneyann1 :

yeah, i hate those stupid terry cloth jacket/pants outfits too. ick.

from liquidiamond :

thanks for the note meg! :) and have fun at the Jack Johnson/Ben Harper show--that's one I wanted to go see! heh. *hugs*

from blood-stone :

I <3 Jack Johnson! :)

from poppyfish :

Hmm, I like the description of your tattoo. I wonder if there ever was a mother who approved of tattoos ... probably not. Just enjoy it, and don't mind her. Yeah, great advice, huh?

from my-breath :

Guess who? ;) I think tattoo's rock. It sounds like you got a real pretty one, too. At least it's not something gaudy like a huge-ass dragon or naked lady or battleship or something. Mom's are like that, they usually only bitch because they care & don't know how else to show it. Congrats on your new addition to yourself & good luck with Mom! She'll get over it. :)

from open-book :

your tattoo sounds so cool! that is very much the reaction i expect from my own mother when i get one later this summer. but it's a personal thing with personal meaning that probably no one could fully understand, anyway. rock on!

from deedlit999 :

I just wanted to let you know I think you rock. :) I will probably start a new diary because it's my main source of ventilation, it's just a matter of time as to when I can do that. If you really want the link, I'll pop in later & give it to you. I really appreciate your note, you're too sweet. :) I know what you mean about laughing when I saw your entry about your mom today! LMAO, my mom is the SAME EXACT WAY! Gotta love 'em, they provide so much amusement sometimes. I hope you're enjoying your summer, party some for me!!

from open-book :

meghan, your entry today was really touching. i definitely think things happen that i can't always explain away as mere coincidence or science. so much to think about, so many avenues to follow, so many questions to never quite answer. :)

from angelicagirl :

-looks around- err, I'll go to coldplay with you if you'll throw in a plane ticket along with the concert ticket :) I really want to go again because it was so much fun. so I hope you have fun. and also I hope you know that I am tres jealous. and also still reading.

from stephielove :

I really enjoyed browsing through your journal, and yes, it does seem like we have a lot in common! Haha, and yes, being in love with a best friend does suck... (even if I am dating him, four years later?) You're a wondeful diarist, I'll be back :)

from sweetreviews :

You are able to join the Sweet Reviews Favorite Diary Ring! Please come and join!!

Your SweetReviews review is complete.

from fallsfromyou :

Thanks for the compliment wonderwall. I'll add you to my buddy list if you don't mind. -kelsi

from open-book :

i have always said that i need a dawson. :(

from u2october :

dear god, please tell me your joking.

from xparrynightx :

i think i felt much of the same about my ex-boy... why not me? i haven't seen him with his new girl, but when i do think about it, i flash back to him telling me that he just wasn't the "settling down type". then why her? grrrr... anyhow, i love the new layout :)

from xactlywhoiam :

Your layout is looking really cool, and I haven't talked to you in awhile. Sounds like things are definitely stabilizing in your neck of the woods--I'm glad. You have one year of undergrad to go! Congrats. Have a great summer.

from mnnicegirl :

Hey, thanks for your support! You're right, it is super hard getting over guys who have brainwashed us into thinking they're the perfect male specimens for so long--but it IS POSSIBLE. And admitting that it needs to be done is the first (and hardest) step. But we've both survived so far!! WE CAN DO THIS!! :o) Take care, and I hope the end of your semester goes well! Becky

from ineednoname :

Yeah, you can use some code. I'd be honored. Crediting me that'd be great, I didn't think of that. So I'm gonna quit writing, before I start rambling, (I think it's too late) like I always end up doing on these things.

from perfxcked :

Awh, thank you doll. xox.

from deedlit999 :

Wow, all good colleges you want to go to...I heard Tufts is really hard, but gives a really good rep for a great education. And their animal hospital rocks..well, not that you need to know that hehheh. I have a friend who goes to BC, she's getting a really good education there & likes it alot. So you're in Worcester? I could take a couple of guesses as to which school you're in, but I won't here because I'm sure you want to keep that private. But with your descriptions, if you're going to the one I think you're going to, then you really are one smart cookie! Keep going, you'll make it through this week...I know plenty of people going through finals right now, too. I keep wishing them all luck, so here's good luck to you, too! Smart girls totally rule. ;)

from lyricalalala :

i'm glad you find lyricalalala of use! away message heaven indeed :) rock on chica!

from deedlit999 :

Hiya, I just finished reading your diary entirely through..hey, I get bored at work! I had added you as a fave a long time ago but never really read through everything, but I have to say, your diary is really inspiring! I'm really glad you're finding some happiness without the boy these days. It's always so hard to get over someone, but time does make it much easier. He sounded like he was taking advantage of a really nice person, anyway. What school do you go to? I live in the Boston area & have some friends going to college around here, too. Keep up the great writing!!

from xparrynightx :

email the image to [email protected] and i'll let you know the address once it's uploaded... can't wait to see what you've picked :)

from xparrynightx :

my image hosting offer from before still stands. i've got plenty of room. let me know :)

from soulepiphany :

It wasn't a crappy entry, it got me on that dangerous Thinking Track, which means my train's about to derail.

from badgrammar :

You should be extremely excited for Coldplay...ever since I've been I get this insane smile on my face whenever I listen to their music. It will be a nice break for you.

from xparrynightx :

*sigh* i like you.

from tanked :

hi. im tagging you, so that means you.re it. im bad at thinking of topics, so i hope you dont mind that :\ ok. so. pretend your wedding is tomorrow. who are you marrying, who is your bridesmaid, etc etc. anyone in the world. and why. GO!

from u2october :

hey, i just started a new diary to put my useless knowledge to work. it's all at askjoey.diaryland.com i'm serious, i'll answer anything. keep up your intriuging entries.

from sweetdecline :

that DOES sound like an ideal life...screw what your parents think, enjoy the life you're living. I used to wish I had been born in the 50s too, because a) of all the great music and bands in the 60s and 70s, and b) I have this desire to drop out (of the real world) and live on a commune....

from soulepiphany :

Hahah well SOMEBODY always has an away message up. ;)

from openthegate :

cool diary

from open-book :

i really like the new digs!

from meggie816 :

GAH! Those crafty Squirrel-X banners! I'm sucked in EVERY TIME too! What is WITH that?!

from open-book :

yes! squirrel-x gets me freaking every time! if only their diary was half as creative at their banners! ;)

from sparklejaxie :

That cow banner IS for Squirrel-x btw. DAMN it for every other banner going to that site. *sigh* :)

from liquidiamond :

oh my god, I totally agree with your last entry! wouldn't the world just be lovely if we all had someone to kiss, whenever we wanted? :) I've only kissed three guys, so I feel kind of behind hahaha. nice entry though. *hugs*

from rapunzal :

Motorcycle Drive By is definitely one of the best songs ever :-)

from xparrynightx :

you have approximately 3 days for the morning after pill... i've done it a few times (stupid girl that i am :D). it's not too bad. you may get naseous, but the worst of it is really the appointment and telling the nurse/doctor why you're there (in detail). good luck.

from liquidiamond :

wow, what a coincidence! I saw Igby Goes Down today too! :) I found it to be rather charming, I also thought Kieren Culkin was just too adorable for words. awwww. I also love About A Boy. might I suggest Moonlight Mile to you, as a movie suggestion. it's quite something. *hugs* hope all's well.

from xander :

Meet me at midnight at the broadcast tower high above the Hollywood sign. You bring your guitar and I'll bring my radio, radio. Everyone will come from miles around to witness this beautiful sight, we'll set bonfires, pretend it's the Fourth of July. This is the starting of a brand new revolution, bite the hand that feeds. Stand up and fight against the messages that they're sending... stop their frequency. You're always talking, it's never ending. It's about time that we turned off the radio, call the request lines and tell them that it's over. You're always playing all of the same songs over and over again. It's about time we turned off the radio. We'll listen to b-sides and sing along to anthems to the years gone by integrity and honesty will prevail tonight. When it's all over one question still remains... Why do so many bands never make it to the radio? Look outside your F.M. dial, they're preaching lies in 4/4 time. a generation without a voice and striped of pride. Some words from the Ataris. Later Days;-)

from varsitygal :

Grrr, stupid boy. Seriously, if he has no interest or understanding of HOW ROBBED we actually are not to have been growing up in the 70s, then grrr, he's lucky he's living on the other side of the world from me because I would go POSTAL on his ass. Ahem...too much coffee...

from varsitygal :

It would be a perfect world if it were practical and possible for me to stay at university forever. I find myself wanting to know MORE MORE MORE! And I thought I was the only one! It's good to know I'm not...

from introibo :

amo amas amat. isn't it great? :) thanks for visiting.

from varsitygal :

Grrr, sinuses suck. I hope you feel better soon. As for this weekend...HAVE FUN! Party on without the boy and show him that he's not the centre of the universe. That'll teach him...plus, you get to have fun with your friends!

from wonderchai :

*also terrified of doctors* be strong! eat advil and chicken soup! I've got my fin'ers crossed for ya!

from soulbreaking :

i don't know if there is a name for the leg thing....but i do it too. :)

from mnnicegirl :

Hello again :o) Well, the day has come for me to lock up my journal from the outside world. So, from now on when you visit my site, you'll need to use the username: mnnicegirl and the password: simple2guess. Thanks, and hope you survived Valentine's Day!! Becky

from xactlywhoiam :

Happy Maria-is-going-to-wallow-in-self-pity Day. I think you're cool and I wish you good luck in life and love. Oh, and I suggest all celebrations be postponed until March 31 when we can celebrate a REAL holiday! (Ewan's birthday!)

from ihs :

The reason that Murphy's law of "everything that will go wrong, will" doesn't make sense is because it's not true. Everything happens exactly as planned. Nothing wrong, everything exactly right. As crappy as it may seem, it was meant to be. You'll be alright, in fact you already are alright.

from xander :

"Let no one who loves be unhappy. Even love unreturned has its rainbows."

from starlet-21 :

hey hunny...know what u meant in that last entry : p same thing with this one guy...every time i begin to get over him and i'm not thinking of him, he starts talking to me...AGH! well, you write well...later sweetie

from varsitygal :

Lipsitz sounds cool - good on you for taking that step. I think, from the sounds of things, it'll do you a helluva lot of good.

from liquidiamond :

I was really skeptical when I saw a sports psychologist three years ago, but it was the best thing I ever did. (they don't always turn out that well) it's kind of a weird process, but totally worth it in the end. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. *Hugs*

from xparrynightx :

argh... feeling as though you are eternally in second place is never good. in my confessional to the boy i told him that i was no one's consolation prize. you should never be anyone's either. you are too damn great for that.

from mnnicegirl :

Hey, I know exactly how you feel. Exactly. Brian confessed on Friday. *sigh* Seems he cares about everything but me though. You're sooo right--we deserve better!! All the best, Becky

from xactlywhoiam :

We should write Ewan a letter suggesting he host SNL.

from angelicagirl :

-hands monopoly money- here you go. now come with me. stupid all of my friends who don't like coldplay ... grr ! anyway, on to different matters, i wanted to write you a little note of support about the boy thing. i'm rooting for you whatever happens ! (today i have become everyone's personal cheerleader.) good luck and good day. (i am also british now.) ~ Sarah

from varsitygal :

Good luck, gal...I know this is cheesy and cliched - but if he is too scared/fucked up/blind to realise how fucking GOOD you are to and for him, then he doesn't deserve you, seriously. And you will go out, and live your life, and actually LIVE it, if you know what I mean. And he'll only realise what he's lost when it's too late, you will find someone who is your equal, who loves and respects you and whom you love and respect...so good luck. You have so much to look forward to (I know, I've been there...) xx Ness xx P.S. I promise I'll be posting that live-music thing soon! :)

from eloi :

Yeah, dangling preposition! :-) you win, you got it first...

from aliblogs :

Norah Jones rocks =)

from ihs :

I loved that quote from Einstien that you used a while back. I just recently caught up on teh diary. I'm setting that quote as my screensaver. Also, congrats on Harvard, that's awesome.

from varsitygal :

and also: Harvard?! YOU RULE!

from varsitygal :

Hey - this is just to ask if live-music is well and truly dead or not? I asked Abigail who said she suspects that neither you nor she has the time or anergy to deal with it...but if it is still going, I'm really keen to write a review of the Bishop Allen CD - if not, I can just put it in my own diary eh? Anyway, hope all is well - especially with the Boy - arrrggghhh, I'm SO hoping that all works out for you!

from foreverlad :

Be careful Meg, flattery'll get you everywhere with me. =)

from xactlywhoiam :

Hey, just wanted to make sure you got my email re: grad school and GRE stuff. Good luck with all of that, whenever you start working on it!

from open-book :

i just spent a little while reading through your recent entries and some things you said really hit home. it's good to find people you relate to every once in a while! i enjoyed reading your thoughts, and i'll be back again :)

from angelicagirl :

I quoted a big part of your last entry because you're a freaking genius. I applaud.

from rapunzal :

Hey, I watched High Fidelity tonight too and thought the same thing about Nick Hornby. That is definitely a good quote. Also, about the Golden Globes, wasn't Bono and The Edge amazing?

from liquidiamond :

hey, I hope you enjoyed your trip to europe! :) England is pretty wonderful eh? just go to Ireland, trust me. you will NEVER want to leave. hehe. *hugs*

from xparrynightx :

hehe...60 people? freshman year, most of my classes had a minimum of 200 :).

from rapunzal :

Mac's are awesome! You can break out of old habits for a Mac, because they rock so much :-)

from rapunzal :

Hey! Welcome back! I just thought I'd tell you that I've moved diaries, from nine poems to rapunzal :-)

from thisdecember :

I LOVE that song by John Mayer. equally interesting is his "Love Song for No One." Awesome diary. Sounds like your trip was awesome too. =)

from angelicagirl :

you're home !!! -cheers- I'm glad you had a fun time. (aka I'm SO JEALOUS) do you have pictures ? can we have pictures ? welcome back.

from foreverlad :

Welcome back! Details, details, details!

from soulepiphany :

Where are you?

from mnnicegirl :

I need to sort things out over the next couple of days (you know why), so I've decided to lock my diary for the time being. However, if you'd like to keep reading, my username is: mnnicegirl and my password is: komenrace (one word, no spaces, lowercase) Thanks, and have a great day!! Becky

from captivated- :

Your teacher was evil. Or maybe just a jew who hates santa?

from u2october :

i understand the whole "body attacking" thing. it's like it's punishing me for all the crap i put it through.

from ihs :

You'll do fine on your finals. Don't study yourself into an insane person. If I did it, you can too. I've made it to the light of Christmas Vacation, and you're almost there. Keep on keepin' on.

from varsitygal :

Good luck on your finals. You'll be great, I'm sure!

from xparrynightx :

happy 20th birthday :D good luck on finals!

from xactlywhoiam :

Happy birthday!

from ihs :

Happy B-Day Meg!! P.S. - I agree with "greybeal" make sure you have the whole story and try not to take action in the heat of the moment as good as it may feel to do so. In then end you'll usually only say things that you'll later regret. That's my two cents, so take it with a grain of salt. That, and you're a good friend for standing up for yours.

from aliblogs :

Happy birthday!!! Mine's in 10 days =D

from angelicagirl :

happy birthday meg !!! -hug- I'm rooting for you from underneath all the snow and ice we've got up here. thanks for being there whenever i went through weird phases lately ... I appreciate it so much, you have no idea. so have a good one. :)

from mnnicegirl :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Good luck with your finals and the rest of the semester! All the best, Becky

from graybeal :

i don't know what r. did...it must have been truly awful to spawn that note. my only caution, for what it's worth, is to please be sure you have the whole story, and please be sure you're willing to say goodbye to a friendship forever. acting in the heat of the moment is not always a good thing. but if you're sure you want to send it, well, it was a well-written letter.

from meggie816 :

Woah, I don't know exactaly what r said or did to the boy, but you're NOT a bitch for standing up for one of your closest friends. You're not a bitch for standing up for what you believe in. You are not a bitch for doing what you know, in your heart, to be right. You are not a bitch for going against something that is wrong, hutful, and done solely out of spite. You are not a bitch for having a mind of your own or believing that you are entitled to use it. You are not a bitch. Your letter, to me, seems like the perfect strongly-worded letter. I don't know if you've sent it yet but, before you slip a note under his door or hit "send" in your e-mail, make sure that your bridge with r is really burned, or one you're risking to burn now. No matter what the decision, you are not a bitch for doing the right thing.

from varsitygal :

okay whoops...you're going to be in the UK IN three weeks, not necessarily FOR 3 weeks...*smacks forehead*

from varsitygal :

heehee! nope, not in the UK, and not in Australia either...but you're close. New Zealand (half the world thinks NZ is part of Australia anyway, so it's entirely forgivable!) Am SO jealous of you and your friends who are about to spend 3 weeks in the UK - that is very cool! But you must get your work done first! Head down, brain into action mode! And happy upcoming birthday...

from varsitygal :

Good luck with all the work, you'll get it done and all will be well - my Magic 8 Ball says "Without a Doubt".

from ihs :

Ya know those pictures that at first glance just look like a big blur of blobs of color patterns? Isn't it funny how sometimes, even though the picture is right in front of your face, regardless of how hard you look at it, you can't see the real picture that you're looking for. Just a thought.

from faithnomore :

thanks for the note meghan, I appreciate it :) *hugs* I hope everything's going well for you. don't let those boys give you too much trouble!

from jillard :

meggie pie! =))) i got yer note and i felt loved. hope your having fun in life....martyn is great, heehee. love your best camper EVER, jill

from angelicagirl :

december 12 :) and it really is all I want, for him to be there with me that day so I can feel like I've had at least one good birthday. that's not asking too much, is it ? *shakes head* so complicated all the time. and best of luck to you. *hugs*

from xparrynightx :

I bring pictures to the hairdresser :). I adore Wonder Boys. It's such a great movie... Do you want me to keep your old template images hosted for awhile? Let me know...

from subtlyours :

I did the exact same thing a couple years ago: showed up at the hair place, armed with a photo of none other than jennifer aniston and emerged 2 hours later, somewhat disoriented and capped with a not very aniston-looking hair cut. =) It actually turned out okay though (after I fixed it...which makes you sorta wonder why you bothered paying the hairdresser to do it). Anyway, I'm sure your's will look great! Cheers! (and thx for the note. Sorry I got it so late.)

from aliblogs :

I love birthdays too. Early happy birthday. Mine's in less than four weeks.

from varsitygal :

Bibliographies have ALWAYS been instruments of torture. The one for my Honours project, due on Friday, is 11 pages long, took me two full days to compile, and is still incomplete...

from so-dead :

the worth in enough quote is from a song by the Manic Street Preachers

from so-dead :

hey, about your most recent entry: doesn't everyone want happiness? beauty? don't feel left out, i'm right there with you. and how are you so sure that you're not beautiful already?

from supercoolme :

John Mayer did play Neon, and it did sound bette in concert. It also sounds better on the Inside Wants Out EP than it does on Room for Squares. It's nice to get random messages from people I don't know, especially when the message is about John Mayer.

from ihs :

You're never too far gone, dont' forget that!

from intheory27 :

Hey, thanks so much for the note. Jude the Obscure's become one of my absolute favorites because of its universality. I can't read it without thinking I'm looking into a mirror. It's insane, really. But once again, thanks for the note and the compliment on my banner. :) Much appreciated and I'm sure I'll be back to look around.

from ihs :

It's funny how all the times that we feel like we have nothing to say, in fact are the times that we ussually have the most to say and just don't know it 'til we say something. Ya know what I mean?

from xactlywhoiam :

"The Big Chill" is one of the most boring (and depressing) movies I've ever fallen asleep during. My parents like it though. I think it's out of the grasp of our generation. I fainted once in a darkroom. I think it was because of the chemicals/fumes. Don't look up fainting stuff on webmd.com, like I did--it will make you paranoid.

i can see us going out for coffee and talking about our boys. too bad i'm in boston and you're in new york. but check out my diary at no1jess.diaryland.com. it's a little random, but you might see some similiarities. especially in some of last year's entries!! omgg... so i totally enjoyed reading yours, glad i found it! i was actually searching for lyrics for Brace Yourself cuz i just saw him in Amherst. take care!

from mnnicegirl :

hey there, would it be possible to e-mail you sometime? I'm in the midst of a boy-dilemma of my own, and would love your opinion on the matter. E-mail me at: [email protected] if you're willing! Thanks! Becky

from soulepiphany :

your frustrations with the boy are breaking my heart. Come talk to me some time.

from ihs :

Sometimes I feel like the oldest, yet most clueless, 23 year old in the world.

from ihs :

Damn if you don't think the exact way I do. Overthinking sucks, but it always seems to be that or no thinking at all, and I tried that and it's dangerous when driving.

from cdghost :

are you gonna be the one to save me.. and after all.. your my wonderwall..sorry couldnt help my self.. \

from xactlywhoiam :

Have you ever heard the Cardigans song "Great Divide"? I haven't in about four years, but your entry reminded me of it. I'm off in search of an MP3 of it.

from soulepiphany :

jesus...I can't completely lose faith in the world until your days stop playing out identically to mine. ~sara

from angelicagirl :

yeah, I believe hugs are in order right about now. oi. we'll figure it out, it's a matter of time. (and thanks for those nice things you said.)

from tandia :

Last minute is the ONLY time to write a paper

from ihs :

I was looking for John Mayer lyrics for one of his songs. I play guitar and I wanted to learn "Your body is a wonderland". I have to agree that those are great songs but I personally like "open road song" by Eve6. This song, unfortunately, has a habit of getting me in trouble while driving though cause I get so pumped up while listening to it that I have to keep driving a little fast, and a little faster, etc. etc. You're very welcome for the compliments on the diary, they're well deserved and hard earned I'm sure. I find that I always look forward to reading your diary whenever I log on at school. It's cool to have someone to know on this thing, keep in touch, I'll be reading. :P

from ihs :

Hey Meghan, I read the note at the bottom of your entry. Thanks for the plug-in. I really love reading your stuff. I love the way you write, how you word your thoughts and your poems. Really beautiful work. Drop me a line sometime.

from nosecandi :

Wow. You so deserve a note, your diary is beautiful. I love it. Everything about it is brilliant. au revoir

from xactlywhoiam :

Did you know Ewan wants me? Because he does.

from angelicagirl :

that last entry was really beautiful no matter what you think of it. you're a really great writer. just thought I'd tell you that.

from subtlyours :

hi meghan! I LOVE your journal! The quotes you have in your earlier entries are awesome especially the one from Hannah Arendt. Have fun in Montreal (you'll love it!) and make sure you stop by Music World because they're having a contest where you can meet Coldplay! Check it out at the bottom right corner of this page: http://muchmusic.com/contests/# Maybe you'll get to meet them sooner than you think! :D

from faithnomore :

hey! you know I've felt awfully bad about totally abandoning live-music. *s* but with packing and going home, and a new boy in my life...it's just...tough. grrrrr. I'd love to read about your John Mayer concert experience though. someone burned me a Jeff Buckley mix CD, and it has an accoustic version of Lover You Should've Come Over. I haven't heard Lilac Wine, but my favorite of his is either Morning Theft, Last Goodbye or the live version of I Woke Up In A Strange Place. phew. he's lovely. I liked your last entry, by the way. quite nice stuff there. I'm gonna buy that U2 album as soon as I get home. :) hope you enjoy it!

from somechick185 :

when you go to england don't go to stongehenge..really the pictures are as interesting as it gets. and don't eat any eggs from pubs! i got food poisoning from that.

from tarbabymk :

thanks for the message! yeah, we definitely have similiar tastes in music and movies. I love Coldplay too - check out the Pat McGee Band sometime, Howie Day and them have done some shows together. I love Plato (have you read Theatetus?) and Shakespeare is excellent. Keep the good work!

from angelicagirl :

... coming to montreal, eh ? if you get bored and wish you had someone to go for coffee with ...

from angelicagirl :

you're not crazy. you're just one of those real people with real thoughts and oh, I still think you're cool.

from aliblogs :

I wish there was a pill for that too. I so know what you mean.

from rotsh :

Hey! Your diary's a favorite of one of my favorites, it really rocks. Black and white works so well :)

from bendme :

i love your diary, it's lovely. <3

from foreverlad :

Ooooh. Many thanks. I'll see what I can do, and I'll let you know if I did it! =)

from faithnomore :

teheeee. welcome to the chris martin club! bah. he's so ridiculously wonderful. :) join the fellow coldplay obsessees. it's pretty fun actually! oh, how many times I've been that "In My Place" video....*s*

from indementia :

not true not true, if u can break ur own heart you can fix it to, its all up to you,smiles, laura

from dietcokegirl :

I don't think I'm truly amazing.. just once in a while I shine a lil brighter than normal is all, thanks for the encouragement though :) sorry it's taken me so long to reply

from girlgenie :

sending love.

from foreverlad :

LOL tell her that. She's on my mind all of the time. Yeah, I'm a lucky gu...nah, I can't even pretend. =) I love ya Megs

from meggie816 :

That's RIGHT Jeffs and Megs go together. It's like one of those undenyable mathmatical equations. Hot boy named Jeff + Meg = simply wonderful romance pepperd with many steamy kisses. Wouldn't that be the best?

from mnnicegirl :

Hey there. After reading your current entry, it seems as though we've come to the same realization/conclusion about the men in our lives at the same time. In my own way, I know what you're going through--and if you need someone to rant with, you know where to find me. We can do this!! We deserve so much more!! All the best, Becky

from graybeal :

don't worry, you're not the only person who feels overwhelmed sometimes, and you won't be the last. i think it's hard to go through college without being overwhelmed at some time or another, unless you are a person completely devoid of feeling, in which case you'd be pretty boring. who really wants to live without emotion? we deal with it the best we know how, and trust that things will work out in the end. good luck. :)

from xparrynightx :

ooh purdy :). it turned out nice...

from ninepoems :

Hey, I'm still around. I agree that NyQuil is evil. I swear I hear voices when I take that stuff :-)

from xparrynightx :

I uploaded the template images for you. The two addresses are as follows... http://xparrynightx.diaryland.com/images/map.gif and http://xparrynightx.diaryland.com/images/background.gif good luck! i like the template...very pretty :)

from pezdispenser :

you reeeeeeeeeally want toast. i'm guessing.

from soulepiphany :

Oh, I don't know, honey. I think watching a chicken run around with its head cut off is DAMN entertaining. :) ~sara

from foreverlad :

Hmm...soon as I clear my plate of current readings, I'll have to look into yours. Coldplay's new cd is great. If you liked their last one, this new one is a big step up. Haven't heard the "official" Electrical Storm yet, but I'm sure I'll be quite fond of it. Oh, and I didn't get a chance to say it, but congratulations on the neck tattoo you gave out. =)

from xparrynightx :

I'll host your images for you if you like...

from soulepiphany :

She apologizes for her new template, and admits that it does throw her off when other get new layouts, like your not so cute friend getting a new hair cut and suddenly being ten times cuter than you...not so much that but the fact that she seems like a different person who will now leave you behind. BAH! Emotional triggers aside, the new layout is simply a power and c ontrol issue...with me anyhow. ;-) ~sara

from angelicagirl :

if you still want a new layout you can always ask me. because I like your diary. and I've got time to spare.

from varsitygal :

oh my god...what a night you had yourself there. weirdly enough, I know exactly how you feel - a couple of years ago, I was caught up in a weird quasi-relationship similar to you and the boy's. never have I felt such highs and lows...anyway, if he doesn't realise how lucky he is to have you in his life then he is a damn fool, and you deserve someone who doesn't play games with your heart.

from rescueblues :

My god that was quite a night you had there. I agree, tequila is the devil. Actually in general alcohol is the devil:) That's become my mantra for the summer. Guys are always so ambiguous about their feelings, it's so frustrating and annoying. But I hope everything works out between you and your guy, I've been down that road before and I know how you feel.

from faithnomore :

hey meghan, interesting cd collection you posted. if you like Howie Day, you might want to check out Elliott Smith. just a thought. hmmmm. there are lots of bands I think you'd like that I have.

from dublingirl :

Hallo! Well I looked around at your site. Bizarrely, we have even more things in common. I am also 5'2. My favourite sport is hockey (and soccer). I broke my left wrist roller skating when I was 11. I have a terrible immune system, and am in the process of being treated for it as it is decreasing my platelet count and my bone marrow. And boy is the whole process fun. Blah. I once had a crush on a girl (nothing became of it).And a few other things as well. Oh, when I was living in Ireland the last time I lived very close to Dalkey, which is where Bono lives. I saw them in concert the very first time at age 8. Anyhow just wanted to say hallo and thanks for the note....we do have quite alot in common don't we? Cheers! Ande

from dublingirl :

from faithnomore :

*hugs* beautiful entry meghan. truly. you almost made me cry. wow.

from varsitygal :

you made me cry...and I NEVER cry!

from ask-obiwan :

Dear wonderwall: A long time ago, in a galaxy far,far away, you asked me a question. Today, I answered it. http://ask-obiwan.diaryland.com/wonderwall.html May the Force be with you!

from pezdispenser :

your mom's dodgy. OHHHH! burn! :)

from pezdispenser :

hey, i liked that poem a lot. how are you? hope your day's fantastic!

from acousticgirl :

Hi there, Thank you very much for the email. Yes,I still write in my diary,as often as I can,which is pathetically,nearly every day. It's funny how people come in and out of our lives like at the drop of a hat but manage to just hurt us so bad and they just don't know it.Checking out your diary, Love,Hattiex

from planitclare :

Sounds like you had one hell of a summer. Welcome back.

from faithnomore :

welcome back meghan! glad to hear your summer went well, I missed ya. IM me sometime you're on and we'll talk. :) *hugs*!

from soulepiphany :

I want your summer. I practically crave it like sex and chocolate. I need somekind of new awareness like you were given...all I got this summer was a broken heart. Glad things were wonderful for you...I get that little happy joy-jump when I see your name in red on my buddy list. :) ~sara

from jelybeanie32 :

ahh... summer. I missed you

from xparrynightx :

welcome back :)

from xactlywhoiam :

Yay, welcome back! (And thanks for the letter.)

from onechoice :

hi. you left me a note years ago (i exaggerate). its been awhile, but i just wanted to say i enjoy your writin' and will be visiting again. i also took notice that you're a fellow 'wonder where turtleguy went-er'. well peace be with you and i dont know why drinking is bringing together many accents for you whereever you are, but i believe that its a wonderful thing: people brought together in any circumstance. :)

from soulepiphany :

O, wonderwall, my wonderwall! Where aaaaaaare you! Ok, now, It's time to come back. Yep...c'mon back...I'm waiting...I don't see you....sigh. I guess it's all in vain. :) Come back soon! Your readers miss you. ~sara

from rubyfuss :

Yes, alcohol is indeed an international social lubricant. And I've even seen a couple gay men drink themselves straight! It's an amazing thing. :-) Also, I have to apologize for anything nasty I may have written in my last entry about your beloved Liam and Noel. Just so you know.

from xactlywhoiam :

I miss your updates! Imagine my excitement to see you in red on my buddy list today. I would write you a letter if you gave me your address at camp.

from soulepiphany :

I just read your 10-29-00 entry and came close to coming undone. Although I will always keep reading your new stuff, I'm sorry, but I couldn't read anymore of your past entries. I don't like seeing my life played out in someone else's typeface. It makes me hurt. ~sara

from angelicagirl :

Fight Club: "81 uses of the most foul of foul words". Yeah, and it was one fuck of a fucking beautiful movie. *laughs* Thanks for that link. Hours of endless fun, I say.

from soulepiphany :

That particular relationship I wrote about does seem like what you have written about The Boy. I was in love with him for a long time, until I couldn't let the wounds come open one more time. It was the most intensely felt relationship I have ever known. Love in a super-concentrated form. The anger we both had, at each other and everyone else, was drowned out by the friendship we had. But keep in mind...it's hard to swallow such intensity in such large doses. Be careful with your love, and with his. If you are, Indiana Jones' bridge will ALWAYS be there. Even after ten months. :)

from xactlywhoiam :

You, me, Matt Damon, Ewan McGregor. Coffee. Now. Dude, that'd be so cool!

from am15 :

I was reading your diary and I have to say that I understand where you're coming from when you say "I can't believe someone dominated my thoughts for two years" (or something like that :) because I was with my ex for two years and it's just unbelievable how much time was with him and there's nothing left anymore.. :) love your diary

from soulepiphany :

First: I think we all have a little plaid in ourselves, and how much shows is just a matter of circumstance. Second: I just read your entry. It feels like a huge letdown when you figure out that true love is not fail-proof, and that absolute love can be one of the most painful and mutually destructive things in the world. Like a child finding out the truth about Santa Claus. A wonderful ideal being taken away and replaced by a colder reality. But maybe eventually we will learn that there is a borderline, a middleground between the two extremes, and find the perfect love. The driftwood, as you put it. Then maybe we won't have to watch "When Harry Met Sally..." ever again. ~sara

from jelybeanie32 :

I always feel bad if I wish harm upon myself just to know who loves me, but then it seems like a good idea. But what you said about obligation is completely true!

from soulepiphany :

In case you didn't hear about it, Stevie didn't get the Conn Smythe. Nick Lidstrom did. He's great, but he's no Stevie. :( Oh well. :) ~sara

from pezdispenser :

i'm so sorry. i know what that's like, and it there really aren't any words for it.

from meggie816 :

I was just wondering, did you happen to catch the MTV video-music awards? I know it's a werid question, and it's not the kind of show that cool, grown up kids living in New York are prone to watching, but did you catch them? Because, if not, find someone who taped them. Why? Because Ewan McGregor looked goooooooooooood. You're little "Obi-Wan" picture made me think of it. I'm not a huge Ewan fan, I mean, yes,he's wonderful, but I'm no fanatic. I had to grab something to steady myself when he walked out on stage. Do I need to say it again? He looked goooooooooooood. Just thought I'd share.

from bulmachan :

the first time I heard that song, I dropped everything I was doing and just let it come over me. it's wonderful.

from faithnomore :

hey you, welcome back! hope all's well. did you read my recent review on live-music? let me know what you think. I've got a few people who might have their own submissions, so I'll let you know how that is going. I'm already trying to line up a new album review for next week....hehe. anyways, be well. let me know if you've got any ideas for live-music. *hugs*

from soulepiphany :

Oh, to live in New York and have dirt, beauty, bigness and busy-ness at my fingertips. I envy you. :)

from aloka :

Hi! Thanks for visiting my site! I really appreciate hearing other opinions & advice on matters in my life. To show my appreciation better, I'd like to send you a CD. Could you e-mail me your shipping address? Thanks, again!

from faithnomore :

I can't decide whether to review Travis' The Invisible Band or The White Stripes' White Blood Cells for next week...hmm....gonna work on that this weekend though I promise! hope all's well for you. *hugs*

from graybeal :

i was just going to write to agree with you about the whole IM-as-a-crutch thing...but someone else beat me to it. :) in any case, you're completely right. i've been hiding behind IM and email for *years*, whenever a potential conflict rears its head. it's a hard habit to break.

from nicedream06 :

4 non blondes...oh yes. how did i not know that? :)

from meggie816 :

I know just what you mean about the IM being a crutch. Recently, I met the boyfriend of one of my good friends in person for the first time. He's a good deal older than either of us, and I'm oddly protective of all of my friends and family members, so I knew our first meeting would be at least a little odd. However, Marc and I had been talking online for MONTHS, so I figured that meeting in person would really be no big deal and once we got over that initial "so that's what your voice sounds like and your face looks like" thing we'd be good. Oh was I wrong! It was horrible, probably one of the top 10 most uncomfortable situations of the year. Even though Char (my close friend and Marc's girlfriend) was there and tried to keep the conversation going, it was like we ran up against a brick wall. I think the truth is that (A)No one talks the exact same way as they write, so when your primary mode of communication becomes writing, talking seems out of character somehow (B)No matter what, people are less stupid and impulsive when they have to take the time to write something out before they say it. I'm not saying that they're not stupid and impulsive all together, they're just LESS stupid and impulsive, which often isn't saying too much and (C)online, people don't have to really know anything. For all they know you're sitting there naked scratching your butt or in an evening gown drinking champagne, you two can be totally detached. Also, online unlike in person or on the phone, when the conversation falls into a rut and you have nothing to say you can simply type "be right back" or "sorry if my responses are slow, I'm writing a 20 page paper on Czar Nicholas' third cousin, twice removed, in Russian." and no one will be any the wiser. But in life you can't simply holler "BRB!" and turn your head to one side ignoring any following comments of your friend until you think up smelting to say and turn back around. Real life is hard, IM makes it easier. Woah, our generation really IS getting lazier....

from planitclare :

You can't fault yourself for loving. Love is never a mistake. Love makes the world go 'round, it does. Even if it's painful. What are we without love. Hang in there.

from planitclare :

Thanks for the lifesaver. :-) I'm doing better now. Back to the middle. See? Extremes, man. Glad you liked the pictures, too.

from faithnomore :

sheeesh I am SUCH the moron. I lost your e-mail address somehow. bleh. anyways, I checked our live-music e-mail account and someone had e-mailed us about a site they had started that was simliar to ours...except that they only did movie/music reviews. I e-mailed them back and signed their book and had a peek and all. just wanted to let you know, I hope it's okay that I handled that one! give me your e-mail addy again. I'm a dork. haha. OH. I might be seeing Weezer in July. WHOOOO! *Hugs*

from trickykid :

No joke, Benadryl made me crazy-insane one time last year. I took it to make me sleepy, but ended up pacing around my apartment in the middle of the night, wondering all sorts of really ridiculous things. For some reason I also found myself inspired to write a book while under its influence. Methinks there is a conspiracy.

from jelybeanie32 :

It was a book i liked, it was called "Annie On My Mind" and it was good. It was about lesbians... The charecters personality really reminded me of yours, especially the stuff you write about highschool. But you're cooler...

from tandia :

I don't know if I can take much more of this pre-medding but I'm trying to be patient. Now pre-med boys with glasses......I'm pretty sure they can get away with anything. Or any boy with glasses for that matter.

from bulmachan :

that's weird, i used to pretend that I was she-ra too. i even had a sword :)

from verymarilyn :

monk is fine, and thanks for the note. ;) I'm stealing your last post idea, hope you don't mine. xo.

from planitclare :

Many thanks for the kind guestbook entry and I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I just hope you feel better in body soon... no doubt it will help with the heart. The middle is a tough road to toe.

from idiosingcat :

i've never won a game of hungry hungry hippos. it was always my cousin scooter. and he always had green.

from soulepiphany :

I know what you mean when you looked in the mirror...I have the same kind of Schizophrenic Beauty that comes and goes (in my own eyes) when it pleases. As for the Ben and Matt fix: Do you happen to have a copy of Dogma lying around anywhere? Its missing the hand to hand combat and the wicked boston accents, but it still may do almost as nicely. :) ~sara

from faithnomore :

hey hon...sorry to hear you're feeling sick. I wanted to tell you that seeing a shrink did WONDERS for me. seriously. and for just that one reason--being able to tell someone everything you're feeling without worry of them telling someone else about it. it was fantastic. if you're really feeling that way, then I think that seeing a shrink would be much better than taking meds. but that's just me. I'll be thinking of you, and I'll send out some positive vibes to you tonight! *hugs* :-)

from rubyfuss :

That's too funny--I actually bought Hungry Hungry Hippos again like a year and a half ago to relive the chaos of which you write, and I was sorely disappointed that the marbles are now plastic and so don't have the same satisfying clink that the old glass ones had. But it's still fun. I slept like 12 hours last night too. I've been a lazy bum with a gimpy foot--God knows what happened to it! Anyway, if ya need sleep, ya need sleep!

from verymarilyn :

lol... *sigh* you made me laugh. thanks. wet laundry stinks, lemme tell ya. ;)

from soulepiphany :

And when she said "cup' she of course was referring to the gleaming Lord Stanley's Cup. Just to clear things up for all you non-hockey people. p.s. My deepest sympathies over your Rangers. They fought the good fight. :)

from soulepiphany :

:) Not only will Stevie win the Conn Smythe, he will carry that beautiful cup high over his head in what just might be his last victory lap in Joe Louis Arena. LET'S GO WINGS!

from goodfeeling :

just thought i'd drop by and say you've got an awesome little diary. rock on. *sara*

from rescueblues :

Thanks so much for your note, you have some awesome stuff listed in your profile as well. I agree, the ocean definitely is a female, there's no way it could be a male. too graceful and nuturing. anyway, I like your quote for shakespeare, I just read Hamlet not too long ago. I've gotta go now but I'll be sure to be back later! Oh and sorry my layout was being difficult, if it loaded correctly you would've seen jude law's face ;)

from glitterscars :

That was a really beautiful entry. I've always pictured the sea as a woman myself -tranquil and beautiful on moment, angry and violent the next. Good luck with live-music! xx

from bulmachan :

yes, yes you do get a prize for being a psycho note-sender :) I'm not quite sure what it is, but it'll no doubt present itself in good time. besides, everyone likes writing notes, everyone likes getting notes, everyone wins! yay for eveyone! oh, and for books, she's come undone is excellent. i highly recomend it.

from mattu :

Thanks for stopping by!

from adesire :

Hi, thanks for writting to me, i just started reading other peoples diary's and yours was one of the first, you seem to have gone through a lot of expierences that are the same as me. and of course clueless is awesome! hehe -sum

from angelicagirl :

Catch-22 ! Catch-22 ! That's my suggestion. Awesome book. Or Angela's Ashes, which I just finished. They're cool.

from nicedream06 :

i read this in one of your entries "i cry sometimes when im lying in bed just to get it on out whats in my head..." and can't place what it's from...? could you help me out please?

from soulepiphany :

You and your boy are identical to me and mine. There is so much love to be construed and misconstrued, and so many risks to step around. Whoever wrote the rules on love should have scratched best friends off of the playlist.

from bulmachan :

heya, thanks for the note :) I didn't even know about the Ewan thing on the Travel channel. I must be slipping in my old age..

from xactlywhoiam :

Yes, Ewan is indeed fucking amazing. And how cute all muddy, cold and wet, trekking through the wilderness! Maybe we can share him. I'm sure he initiates.

from jelybeanie32 :

i have to say, I love your diary! And of course, Ewan Macgregor is fucking amazing... no snickering here... my mom's always put off by my openness about sex as well... see I love you!

from trickykid :

Boys really are altogether terrible. I saw mine again today for about five seconds and although I purposely ignored him quite blatently I still thought about him for the rest of the day. I hate that.

from soulepiphany :

I got your note, and it was sweet. Thank you. :)

from faithnomore :

awwwww you mentioned me in your entry! that is so sweet. wow. you totally made my day. is that kinda sad or kinda cool? I can't decide. haha. anyways, I'm gonna have to add you to my list of favs.....still reading your diary though. rock on!

from misfitmonkey :

haha... I am your monk monk. I feel warm and tingly. Inside. Not outside. Let's keep that a secret. ;)

from misfitmonkey :

haha... I am your monk monk. I feel warm and tingly. Inside. Not outside. Let's keep that a secret. ;)

from faithnomore :

oy! another U2 fan! whooo. love to read diaries of U2 fans. I was just spreading my U2 wisdom last night. haha. anyways, thanks for adding me to your list of favorites, I must do the same as well. loooove the diary. and your music taste. and movie taste. and yikes! it's all good. :)

from aloka :

I love your "home turf"! I only wish I could stay forever! Perhaps in the future, you'll find that I've made NYC my "home turf" as well. =D

from xactlywhoiam :

Or maybe he'll wear...NOTHING AT ALL. (We all know he likes to get naked!) Thanks for the heads up--I had never even heard of that. I'll be sure to watch and record it.

from meggie816 :

Heh, this is going to sound silly coming from me (considering I'm younger than you, and presumably younger than the boy) but, it sounds like the boy just needs to GROW UP. I know several people similar to the boy, who crawl away, normally just so people will chase them (I ALWAYS chase, it's a bad habit that I just can't break...). Maybe (hopefully) he will wake up one morning (or afternoon if he's anything like me) and realize what an immature little jerk he's being. But maybe he won't, and then YOU won't be stuck for the rest of your life dealing with someone who is perpetually as mature as a 13 year old. I mean, geez-o, even other 13 year olds have trouble putting up with a 13 year old bad attitude. You shouldn't be forced to put up with it in a 20something. That's just TOO annoying.

from snailandsky :

hey dude, Ewan is mine. MINE! I am scared to see any more of his films because I might melt into a pile of goo. I am hoping Episode II will be so shitty that it will cure me of my lust. However, I think this is unlikely.

from morgulknight :

Thanks for adding me. Email me sometime: [email protected] (AIM - Crippler223) P.S. - If you don't have the Elevation 2001 tour DVD yet, GET IT!!

from xactlywhoiam :

Ewan McGregor...Mmmm...

from misfitmonkey :

hi. I haven't said hi in a while, but I haven't forgotten you. free the west memphis five, yo. your new look is swell and you kick ass as always. kisses.

from trickykid :

Um, I don't know what's wrong with it. Is the text not showing up or something? I'm going to change the layout (and probably fix whatever the problem is in the process) as soon as I can actually take the time to do so. So, if nothing else, it will be fixed soon.

from aloka :

For "the boy":

you think you're denying me of something
well, i've got plenty
you're the one who's missing out
but you won't notice
until after five years
if you'll live that long
you'll wake up
all love - less
i dare you
to take me on
i dare you
to show me your palms
i'm so bored of cowards
who say what they want
then they can't handle
can't handle love
i dare you
to take me on
i dare you
to show me your palms
what's so scary ?
not a threat in sight
you can't handle, you can't handle love

from pezdispenser :

aaaaagh, no such luck... i'm belle. who knew?

from graybeal :

i started reading your diary because i identify so exactly with your friend/more than friend situation. but i'm more removed. my friend and i are now just that--friends. i still wonder how it could have been different, but i also know that if he is never ready to be in a relationship, then he's never going to be able to give me what i want from him. so we are friends, and it works well. eventually, i think there is a peace that comes with it. you really can go back to being friends after hoping for me, and in many ways, being friends can be better than it was before. in any case, i hope everything works out for you. i'll keep reading. :)

from aloka :

I understand completely about letting the idea go, but something inside me just wont, even with the entire Todd situation resting before me. Moving on sounds like the best idea. We should both do that. =D You will find your Todd - I'm sure of it. Hell, I'll send one your way (if he has a brother - hee hee)!

from aloka :

How I wish I were going to camp with you! Tree-hugging, hiking, skinny dipping & all! It sounds oh-so natural... Enjoy it! Now, if only you had a wireless laptop, then you could let us know what it's like being there while you're there.

from oobersugar :

hellooo. luckily I'm not attracted to my best friend. and even if I did I'd have no chance cos he's gay. ha ha. in my experience it's not that easy to be really close to a bloke without some kind of attraction going on.... I can only imagine your frustration! love the layout, by the way. min x

from sscapegirl :

I have been surfing through a bunch of diaries this morning. Not reading more than one entry from anyone. While entertaining, I cant understand most of them! : ) Yours on the other hand I can relate to. Have read a lot of it. Will be reading more. Thanks for letting us all in.

from meggie816 :

The funny part is that I get the feeling I actually DO know EXACTALY what you're talking about...man, it's discouraging that all the drama doesn't go away after highschool...

from meggie816 :

right on sista'!

from aloka :

I'm so sorry. =( What a putz! He's going to look back & realize that he missed his chance at being with a great girl. By then, you'll probably be so in love with an equally great guy. =)

from xparrynightx :

hey, hope everything works out the way you want it to... maybe you're right...maybe it needed to happen so that you'll put yourself first. take care...

from widescreen :

Hi there, I would have signed your guestbook, but you don't seem to have one. ;-) So I'm signing this instead. ;-) Thanks for coming by and signing mine. I'm glad you think I rock. ;-)

from xactlywhoiam :

Thanks so much for adding me as a favorite and leaving me a note. I really like your diary and your layout is beautiful. I'll be back for sure.

from aloka :

After reading that last entry, I question if I should just give up the crush I have with MY best friend. I've already felt the 1st prick from having this crush & it's no fun. I'm sorry that the boy isn't appreciative of you, when it's clear that he should be - 10x more. But remember that being a friend means also being understanding, even if they are on hiatus. My friend, Mikey, is always on hiatus, but whenever he returns, it's as if though he had never missed a day. Now, I wonder if you've ever told the boy your feelings for him & if you did, it obviously didn't go anywhere. I'll have to read more of your diary to find out. *hugs*

from invisiblepal :

Thank you.

from hugasoul :

thanks for you note. your words are amazing. definately will be back for more...

from stupidis :

Your present post reminds me of my favorite John Lennon song-- you may have heard it: God by John Lennon God is a concept By which we measure Our pain I'll say it again God is a concept By which we measure Our pain I don't believe in magic I don't believe in I-ching I don't believe in Bible I don't believe in tarot I don't believe in Hitler I don't believe in Jesus I don't believe in Kennedy I don't believe in Buddha I don't believe in Mantra I don't believe in Gita I don't believe in Yoga I don't believe in kings I don't believe in Elvis I don't believe in Zimmerman I don't believe in Beatles I just believe in me Yoko and me And that's reality The dream is over What can I say? The dream is over Yesterday I was the Dreamweaver But now I'm reborn I was the Walrus But now I'm John And so dear friends You'll just have to carry on The dream is over

from lullypop :

I'm glad that you're happier now. And no, I see where you're coming from, elves are cool...ish?

from mnnicegirl :

I know what you mean about life feeling like an episode of "Dawson's" sometime *sigh* Do I ever...I hope the boy's birthday went well. All the best, Becky

from stupidis :

Sometimes I feel like my life is turning into Smallville...except without the Superman references, with skyscrapers instead of corn, and with completely different characters and personality types, not to mention constantly dissimilar plots. Otherwise, they're exactly alike! Nice site, really.

from tandia :

Oh how I understand those damn Dawson's river kids. If only there was a Charlie running around.

from wiccavamp :

hello there, I just wanted to tell you thanks for reviewing my diary. I'm quite suprised that I got a 91! it doesn't seem like I would do that great. well, thanks, and e-mail me sometime. [email protected] thanks! Michelle

from aloka :

Your insight on being in love with your best friend was helpful. Thank you. I'll have to link now, as a reference. =P

from parrynight :

hello :)...i've decided to move the diary for good. my new username is xparrynightx

from foreverlad :

Hey Meggs, completely Undiaryish note I JUST HAD to send you: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk From The Daily Record: BONO'S WIFE 'NO1' FOR TOP IRISH JOB ROCK star Bono's wife has been asked to run for president in her native Ireland. The Irish Labour Party are so impressed by mother-of-four Ali Hewson, they want her to go for the post at the 2004 elections. Ali, 41, has grabbed attention as she leads a campaign urging Irish people to bombard Tony Blair and Prince Charles with millions of postcards demanding the closure of Sellafield nuclear plant. Pop diva Samantha Mumba, the Corrs and the entire Irish rugby squad are all supporting her plan. A Labour insider said: "There has been a lot of talk about her. She would make a fantastic president and has always been very politically minded. "She is known for hiding away from the limelight so she would need persuasion." But yesterday, a Labour Party spokeswoman said: "We haven't announced an official candidate for the election yet as it is too far away." Wow, huh?

from you-dont-see :

Hey Meghan. You reviewed my diary. You-dont-see.diaryland.com I just wanted to say thanks for the great review, it definetly brightened my day! :)

from meggie816 :

Woah, the similarities just keep growing and growing. It's crazy! Haha, we need to get out of each other's heads!

from kieri :

Any girl who ever wanted to be a sports writer is cool with me! Thanks for signing my slambook!

from i-just-hope :

that's the thing. i think jesus would just be like everyone else. he really...understood everyday people in his time. you know? he wasn't being an intellectual snob. he was...real. to be cliche. ;)

from unemployed :

aww thank you very much for your note. hopefully i can come up with something interesting to say in the diary soon. i love your musical taste. fabulous.

from u2october :

what? those click herefor a good time messages weren't from you? this distorts my entire reality.

:end transmission:

from u2october :

ahh, unfortunately, top 5 u2 songs was my 1st top five. but, i'll recreate my liste for ya. 1. october

2. 40

3. ground beneath her feet

4. who's gonna ride your wild horses

5. love is blindness

:joey:

from misfitmonkey :

gee, golly you're spiffy, wonderwall. just thought ya'd like to know! ;) hi and bye and have a lovely week, chica.

from foreverlad :

Hello Dearest. Long time no speak, huh? I haven't been around to tell you to quite whining and smile, but I want to be =). You know I'm just kidding. BTW- I love the reason you love me!!! I saw that and decided I think it's almost time to update all my profilings. Anyway, keep writing, start smiling and remember you've got a soul surfer down here in Fl waiting & worrying about ya.

from hermitage :

I know the stressed feeling right now. It is exam madness right now! Anyways, I must admit that I'm a big fan of Jude the Obscure in terms of Thomas Hardy books; however, it was Tess that got me hooked.

from u2october :

sounds like the perfect weather for writing. well, sleep is sometimes a good thing, sometimes it can be your worst enemy. a good idea for you might be to keep a small journal of what you're feeling right now. it could serve as some sort of release.

:end transmission:

from attractions :

I always forget to sign in in order to leave you notes...so now I finally remembered...I am glad that things are working out:)

from soulwindblow :

Yey to U2 obsession.

from afzoo :

I love hearing from other U2 fans!! You left a note in my diary, so I thought I'd come take a peek. I've been psycho about them since I was 7 (I'm almost 22). Anyway, I was looking at your music favs, and I was gonna suggest you take a listen to Shea Seger. She reminds me of a sweet Fiona Apple crossed with Sheryl Crow's voice... it's been in my cd player constantly, and I figured you might appreciate it, since you like everything else I do!

from hermitage :

My entries sometimes vanish too. Serious stuff.

from misfitmonkey :

that blows my butt that your entry is gone... here's a round cookie morsel-------> O :)

from u2october :

i hope everything turns out ok. message to surfking: get the new album or achtung baby for your next u2 album. :end transmission:

from are-you-sad :

You are great. I don't know what to say. I hope you learn how to make boy feel better. You two have that something special in my head anyway. I think special things like that should never be wasted either. I hope you make it work.

from surfking :

If I were to be a princess I'd be Jasime because Aladin is hot! oh...i mean yeah i'd be mofosa. I have Joshua Tree, what other one is good!?

from meggie816 :

Woah, you have no clue how cool I think it is that you exist. Ok, that one sounds weird....But it's VERY cool that we're so similar. Actually, I'm not in love with the guy named Marc (short for Marcus)that I know, but my friend is dating him...And I know a VERY attractive guy who's last name is MARKwood. Does that count?

from trickykid :

Yea for you cutting your salad. Also, for buying Michelle Branch. I, too, fell victim to the teeny bopper in me and bought that CD. I love your diary and will defintely be back.

from u2october :

i love your diary. i am also obsessed with u2, often to the point of ridicule by my friends. i'm actually burning a cd of unreleased u2 songs right now. god, that's pathetic. ok, shutting up now. :end transmission:

from lullypop :

hey, i love your layout. and your diary isn't all that bad either :P

from msmongi :

I'm glad you like the new layout. I completely understood your beef with the color, I had braces for two years and I remember how that stuff tasted. Eww.

from bandofbros :

hi, it's sara. i forgot to log out of BoB's name. i just wanted to thank you for stopping by and giving us nice love. i had to do some investigations to see if you had your notes on or not, since you don't have anything linked on your main page. i hope you don't mind. :] anyway. i'll be back [and you'll be sorry.] swing back by BoB again sometime. :]

from tandia :

Ooooooooooh, new layout. Very nice.

from misfitmonkey :

for me too, hon... for me too. I know exactly how you feel. :\ this shit just refuses to get easier, doesn't it?

from foreverlad :

My dear, you are FAR too kind. Thank you nonetheless =) Amazing what someone can decided to do at 2am. So, about your diary revamp.... lol. Yay! U2's next album comes out in the Fall!!!!! Of course, it's only a greatest hits 2-disc set, but at least it's sumpthin. TTYL, undoubtedly.

from attractions :

There are a few high school students who actually do have a relatively decent grasp of grammar.

from attractions :

sounds like a quality mix CD you have being built there:)

from foreverlad :

Sorry to hear about the cycle. If it's any consolation, the grass is always greener on the other side, (skip a meaningless lyric and move onto the brief paraphrase) just give it time because you both live under the same sky, you both will live & both will die and well... you get the point.

from tandia :

Hmmm, they may look enjoyable, but they all have thier faults. I suppose then again, who doesn't. Pictures are fun. If you want you can zip some over to [email protected], I love to see the faces behind the diaries.

from idiosingcat :

thanks for listing me. i, too, love bono. after the u2 concert in calgary, i was walking home and i screamed at all the limos that passed, "marry my bono!"

from foreverlad :

Someday Soulmate, I'll send you a crushmaster. =) Btw- Still love your site but it's getting mighty confusing with all the aliases. lol

from iona :

Thanks for the witty note. Hope you ride out this sememster in style..no matter where it takes you.

from parrynight :

ooh that really sucks... girls who go after guys w/girlfriends (that they know about) should be banned from society. years ago, i was in a similar situation, except my boy accepted and i found out later... oh well.

from midnightdust :

Thanks! *smile*.. (I really like your diary too.)

from hbn2002 :

I saw that you have a copy of the Ewan McGregor revealed program on E!, I tried to record it that night but my VHR spazzed out. Is there ANY way I could get a copy? It doesn't look like they ever broadcast those shows again- and he was soooo HOT. Please w/b. :-)

from misfitmonkey :

Sorry to hear about your thumb, here are kisses to make it better ----> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and the monkeys will be fine some day, so don't worry too much about them. mwah, monkey.

from foreverlad :

from tandia :

I wished Hallmark had a card like that for a long time. Oh our situations are so similar it scary! Except now my bestfriend/person I was in love with doesn't speak to me. Grab yours now!

from diarytag :

You're it! Come play Tag! :)

from parrynight :

sounds like good promises... i'm not good at keeping promises to myself, to others, but not to myself. did i mention that i like the layout? well, i do :)

from turtleguy :

Thank you for making fun of Harvard, 'cuz it deserves it. And tell that Mark-person to please be madly in love with you, starting yesterday. Sheesh.

from ninepoems :

My roommate and I recorded Ewan McGregor Revealed onto this tape that we've labled "Hotties with Accents," and we watch that interview daily! Our favorite parts include the story about losing weight for Trainspotting ("one stone, two stones"), the tear-jerker about when his baby was sick, and of course the story about his "excitement" during a love making scene in a British TV movie. :-)

from ninepoems :

I always thought that Ewan and I were soulmates. Clearly I was not the only one :-( You are so brave to let him go, but you're doing the right thing for his career! Thanks for stopping by my diary yesterday. I like yours too, and now I'm hooked on the Mark saga. Good luck!

from bollocks :

I think the problem with Harvard was that Minimalism is so stylish now. I hate Minimalism. I hate beige. My house is bright red and light blue. It is beautiful to me. Nothing here is neutral! Anyway, hooray for clutter!

from tandia :

You have quite the enjoyable diary over here.

from xander :

Love, Love me do, You know I love you, I'll always be true, So Please Please Please, Love me do. Just a friendly reminder from the Beatles that love is cool. Later Days;-)

from alicewonders :

Re: Google searches... Because I have sitemeter on my diary I can see what links bring readers in. That's how I can tell what people are "googling" that sends them in my direction.

from foreverlad :

You're such a sweetheart. I'm glad I managed to inspire you to do something. I gotta admit, you set something off in me when I read your post. I'm of a similar mind, and I'm gonna do some real writing about it. Thanks Meg!

from typicalme :

Just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by :-)

from foreverlad :

I'm so jealous...I 'only' got Larry during the quiz. Look's like I'm the bouncer and you're the ego. =) P.S- I'm researching the potential soulmatedness between us. lol

from whenufuckher :

oops...i left a spelling mistake...i am truly sorry...i have committed one of my ultimate dislikes...bad spelling/typing...but can i tell you that 'One' is one of my favourite songs ever...[i profusely apologise]

from whenufuckher :

i like what you have wriiten, and the layout is fantastic. and i love U2. Walk On.

from foreverlad :

Meghan, love the site. All That You Can't Leave Behind, indeed. I'll be reading up on your site for a time to come. Thanks for stoppin by my page. Soon as I read Pooh, you'll be the first (second after me) to know. Mike

from snoopy98 :

thank you for the note! Hockey is cool (ha, ha-yes, it is cool, from all the ice). Yes, I'm corny

from anotherghost :

Thanks for the compliment. Tell me what I did right and I'll try to do it again. No promises, though. heh.

from misfitmonkey :

I would ask god the same thing... it's a sick case of unrequited endless torturous love. It's like I want him to burn in hell for being so stupid because we're so perfect together and at the same time I want him so badly that it hurts. Boys are dumb as rocks, chica. I wish you and I could truly realize it.

from bollocks :

Hey, this is Carrie, Secretary/Treasurer of the Beat Irritating People, especially Boys, With Sticks World Tour. I just want to say "Hooray for people in love with Mark!" That is all. Thanks for listening.

from typicalme :

Hey! Thanks for stoping by! :-) And, thanks for reading my journal and caring enough to say something about that evil boy! Stop by again sometime... - me

from i-just-hope :

yo.i tried to send you an email, but the mailer daemon paid me a visit. Sigh. So anyway. I love me some Billy Joel. We'll have to discuss this later.

from kiterlily :

Thanks for signing my guestbook ... you're too kind :) And yes, that U2 Kite song is high up on my list. Thanks again. I'll be sure to visit your journal often

from annarbor :

hey, wait a sec.....you have the same name as me and your roommate has the same name as mine.....are you me, and I just don't know it? Or is it just too damn early in the morning for rational thought? I think probably the latter. Yes, there is a Beat Boys With Sticks Tour, although it's been opened up to also encompass all total morons, and especially annoyingly coupled people who drop all their friends the minute they get a significant other. Feel free to join! And bring a friend, or ten.

from misfitmonkey :

like the new look and the nietzsche entry... :) just a little wave hello. mwah!

from parrynight :

hey! :) merry christmas and stuff. the "secret diary" isn't really all that secret. the address is: http://lilacevening.diaryland.com. i've switched for a bit...laters

from parrynight :

wow, long time no see :) glad things are going well. the concert sounds amazing. laters...

from parrynight :

awww...i wanna be in love again...i think :)

from lexdesigns :

hey you! :) just thought i'd offer.. when you get bored of your layout, gimme a shout and the next is free!

from livlee :

hey :) i read some of your entries and I think you write really well. I especially connected with your entry about not wanting to be alone. If you get the chance id love you to check out my diary and tell me what you think! Love Liv xo

from august-x :

Thanks for signing my guestbook - do you have a special talent for making others feel wonderful? :-) Also - I love the drawing on your page - did you draw it?

from parrynight :

pms is so weird...one time it made me start crying because i couldn't cut a bagel. i just stood in the kitchen crying. my roommate came in and saw me crying holding a knife and freaked out...it was kinda funny :)

from childofglass :

Your pictures on your diary pages are quite interesting,I like it....:)

from parrynight :

thanks for the note...things are better today. i'm trying to get perspective :)

from childofglass :

Thanks for mentioning me in your diary.I'm looking forward to your next entry...:)

from outfoxed :

Thanks for making the time to sign my book. Yes, I've looked at Lex's stuff and, if all else fails, that's the route I'll take. PolySci, eh? Good luck, it's a tough one. Best of regards...

from vacantspirit :

hey, thanks for signing my g-book. guys do suck. they really do. anyways, you have a kickass layout, lex rules doesnt she? :P take care, ammie

from lifeonhold :

thank you for signing my guestbook. most people never make it to my website. i really appreciate that. and the kind words. u2. i struggle. but i also have many good things. i need to remember that. i added you to my daily reads and to my friends page because i like your diary so much. i have enjoyed what i have seen so far. i love the design of your page. thanks. thanks for reaching out to me. thanks, because it gets really small in here and when someone makes such a gesture to me, it reminds me that there is a world outside of my front door and wow, someone might really want me to be a part of it.

from childofglass :

I love Applebees,especially their chicken fingers and their honey mustard sauce...:)

from ryan79 :

Gracias for leaving me a note! Things are getting a little better now, eh?

from mnnicegirl :

I just wanted to say that I enjoy reading your entries. You write very well. I stumbled upon your page once by accident and read about your attempt at being a sportswriter. I guess it just reminded me a lot of myself...if you want, check out my entry "the fire inside of me" sometime...you'll see what I mean :o) And thanks for the nice words in my guestbook. Much appreciated. All the best, Becky

from xander :

well, I would like being friends, but how did you get from point A, being your page, to point anything from B-ohh let's say Q? I'm a fan of your page. You are on the threshold of 100, then you will belong. Much love, Later Days;-)

from winterfaerie :

I wanted to leave you a note, thanking you for your kind words on my diary.. but then got hooked into reading yours. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.. :) Besides the content, I'm loving it visually, as well. So, thanks for stopping by and giving me the opportunity to find yours.. :)

from shutupmom :

HEYHEYHEY. THANKS. I SAW THE EAGLES PLAY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. IT WAS SO AMAZING. I BEGAN A WEIRD OBSESSION WITH JOE WALSH AND THE JAMES GANG. ITS OVER NOW BUT I STILL ENJOY THEM NONE THE LESS. FUNK 49 IS MY FAVORITE.
