Deleted Confessions

What's up with LJ? How come I can't see any ealier friend's posts on my page? 

I suddenly miss this blog world even if I never participated much.  I was just looking for an old entry that I can't find (FUCK!)  If anyone remembers, which I totally doubt, it's me listing the research topics for the research writing class in senior year, I took it last semester but this entry is nowhere to be found in 2006, all I remember is Stef and I arguing about Detroit and so on jaja.  I really need it because it is the capstone of my love for Detroit...more or less. I even looked at Stef's entries for that early 2006 and couldn't find shit, bleh.

You people need to visit me because I dont' have a car and I will be in Ann Arbor all summer until I go to Iceland midAugust for a few weeks.  
So here's my busy summer sched (pronounced skedge):

Spring Class: International Political Conflict and Cooperation, starts May 5th so I barely get a break.  
Work a little bit at the School of Public Health
Then May 26th I start my internship working at the School of Information basically researching how individuals interact within organizations, perfect for one of my majors. Ends July 31st
Mark gets back from OCS July 3rd, woo! But I'll go down to Virginia for his graduation to come back with him. 
Leave for Iceland August 17th, return the 2nd to go back to class on the 8th.

Throughout this summer my goal is to:
Learn as much as I can about Detroit so I can be ready to start an Honors Thesis in the Fall
Study Italian
Fix my back and knee so I can actually work out again
Study for GRE
Make lots of margaritas and hang out on my deck
Read Twilight AGAIN and Harry Potter books 3-7 before movie comes out
Go vegan for a month
Hang out with old friends (seriously not joking fuckers)

P.s. for those who care I will be living in Detroit Jan '10 to April '10, people better be near and dear. 

So I think I might actually be staying a few days with my dad in Roseville this break. 
Meaning I want to hang out with who I have not seen in the past 4 to 12 months!!

When are people going to be around?

Upon first reading this I thought, wtf!?

But after thinking about it this would be awesome for inner-city kids, especially those who are really intelligent but just don't care...

or is it still a bad idea?

I would say more but I have work, guess I'll have to later.

Love

You had it coming. 

Hmmm...I don't think Roseville is going to happen. 

Life is sweet, rip the shit out of it. 

Italy, where I would make giant puppets out of papier mache
China, where I would talk global politics with chinese students
Costa Rica, work with NGO and do community development (in spanish :))
 India, learn yoga music and dance from a guru and help kids with literacy

??

Tell me now, I can't fucking decide.

Edit: Funny how I didn't get to go to any of these but instead went to Viet Feckin NAM (pronounced with Michigan "A"), glad it happened.

Weird.  Did a month just go by?  I came back home and it was like I didn't skip a beat.  I've been stuck in Dearborn for the past day and a half, stuck as in I have so much shit to do that I can't leave, but maybe tomorrow I will.  I miss everyone so much all of a sudden.  When I was there I had others to keep me occupied but now that I'm back and can actually contact people, I need to go see them, I feel so restless, I feel like making history.   

I didn't miss people that much as other stuff when I was there...like peanut butter, free phone & internet, movies in english(that are supposed to be in english), ooey-goey chocolate chip cookies and brownies, the temperture taking several hours to raise or drop, pancakes, not risking my life so much crossing the street, hot but not scalding showers that are consistent in temp & pressure, no dark until 9pm, TP in public restrooms...

And being back, I miss the people there that I won't see for at least a year, empanadas, or any crazy cheap but incredibly fresh bread always just a few mins away, taking the trolley, pineapple juice, tostado, those one nutella crepes, everything being UBER cheap, papaya.net for its consistently bad drinks, never getting carded, an unbelievable background of cities in the mountains and valleys any where I went, ice cream, the dvd and cd dollar store...

If I have a kid I'm taking one from Ecuador.  They're so incredibly affectionate even the boys, yet they manage to not be pansies, it's like my kind of guy.  The family relations left me in awe, at the mall older teenage guys would have their arm around their mom's shoulder, this was like 4/5ths of the crowd, or the older girls would be holding hand with thier parents.  We think this is lame though or whatever else.  I always thought the UK was kind of frigid but now I want to know how cold are we or at least seem to appear? 

Someone there asked me, <Ashlee, I have to know....What is a hollaback girl?>

Woe is me for never wondering myself and being unable to give her a clear answer, what the fuck IS a hollaback girl?

These next 2 weeks I'm going to be between Roseville and Dearborn
and then it's South America.
