Pete's Plan
Ooooo hehe Pete and I were talking on the phone last night ;) Nice convo as usual but we were also talking about his 'plan.' Well more like he was torturing me by not telling me anything ;) Obviously I know pretty much what its about (the e word) hehehe. But other than that he won't tell me - I did say I wanted it to be a surprise hehehe - although I can't stand when I know that there will be a surprise and no one will tell me the details. Anyway enough about that before I make myself crazy hehe. Tomorrow is JUNE yay!!!! Can't wait til the 27th!!! More so 7:00am GMT on the 28th but still hehe. Anyway I'll be off for now ;)

Friday Five for today! TFIF!!!!!
1. What do you most want to be remembered for?
Ummmm my sarcasm I guess - or my good looks whichever is stronger ;)
2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?
Ummm its one of the quotes I used for my Senior quote last year in my HS year book - its by E.E. Cummings. This is the paraphrased version: "To be yourself in a world which is trying its best to prevent you from being just that is to fight the greatest battle and never stop fighting." Not sure if thats totally right but hey it was last year!
3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?
Ummmm I guess graduating HS but that was last year technically - May 2002. Umm after that I guess getting into college (last year too) and being an aunt to my niece and nephew (as of Dec 2002)
4. What about the past ten years?
Being with Pete for so long (it will be 5 years this November since we met online!!!) and learning to live with my stuttering problem - ugh thats a work in progress!
5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?
Ummm probably be yourself and laugh at yourself ;)
Ooo pretty deep Q's today! I'm feeling better (as my IMood says) :) Feel a bit dizzy at the moment but a lot better than I have been! Had my two mid-terms today and survived! yay! Thought my hand was about to fall off with all the writing! Ooooo TFIF Happy weekend!!

Hi hi. Yes I'm alive and kinda well - just didn't have time to post yesterday. As my Imood says I'm sick/ill :( What I thought was allergies developed into a cold, then yesterday it was more of a sore throat/conjested head, now I just feel achey, tired, and a bit light headed but not 100% well at all. And...tomorrow I have two midterms in a row, thus I am chatting with Pete and also trying to finish my study guide for my Mass Communications test.
In other news, I got some really cute belated bday gifts from Sara & Tiff. From Sara I got a Union Jack (British flag) umbrella (prefect for England) and a Union Jack cover for my cell phone and a computer made card ;) And from Tiff I got adorable sheep pajamas that come in a little bag which is the same material and design as the pajamas :) She put those in a Oriental gift bag which I may recycle and use for Pete's Bday gift :) And... more good news - Pete got his days approved to take off when I'm there - the first week I'm there is booked off, the rest are Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays ...though he has to narrow it down and make 2 days work days and one day a half of day. But still its great we'll have to much time together :) Thats about it for now - I might be back later to do Weds Wish from yesterday but I dunno - see if I have time.

Day of Chaos
Okay today was suppose to be a pretty easy day right ? Wrong! I only had one class today, my Mass Comm class was cancelled today to give us a day to watch 2 hours to TV - seriously its for a paper. Anyway so I get to school around 10:40 for my 11am class. Well I have to park all the way out in the freaking auditorium because where I usually park was full. As many of you know my school is like tragic for parking - during a regular semester there are close to 2,000 students with about 300 campus spots total, but even in the summer semester the 'prime' spots are taken at 10:40am. Sooo I walk all the way around to the Library (I couldn't cut through the main building as their repairing the fountain and the gates or something grr. So I get to the library, have about 15 mins to pop in my disk and print up my paper. So I got to pull it up - the conclusion and works cited is missing!!!! You see I typed those two parts up yesterday while I stayed home, exercised (3 mile walk for Abs), cleaned and did that and read for the same class. Well I guess it didn't save! so I quickly did the works cited from what I could remember/had with me. So its 11am now, I print up what I have, bs a title for it (as I left that til last) and printed it, ran (which I can't do without looking like an elephant), not the elevator to the 3rd floor, got to class, wrote the situation down on the paper (as the instructor wasn't in the room and I didn't know if she was going to be there when we left at the moment.) So then after class I told her about it and its okay I can turn in the rest on thurs or email it to her. So at the end of class I also hear that the study group is meeting tomorrow not today at 4pm. So needless to say I'm not driving an hour on my only day off a week to study with some ppl - which i totally can't do - because as Sara reasons like me - how can you study with other people ???!!!! Anyay so then my mom and my great aunt and grandma were meeting me in St Augustine to see the colllege and stuff. So we did that, it was fun. We met the couple that owns the Irish Store there and they were really nice. The woman is from England had her husband is from Ireland. Of course my mom told her about me and Pete so she asked me where he was from and then told me what I should see in Essex. Then she said I should move there and have fun ;) Then I head home in my car. My youngest brother calls me on my cell phone, asks me to pick him up from school. Well I said I was on my way back from school - he didn't hear me as the phone cut off. Then I call my dad and he told me that my brother called and that he told my brother to get the trolley up to the motel. Anyway to get to the point I say I'll go try to get him before he gets the trolley , I get all the way down there and my dad calls and says he's at home - he got a ride from a friend! UGH That was my day of confusion! Tomorrow I'm doing something with Sara and Tiff yay! Might stop off at my sis's on the way as her house is on the way to Tiff's.

Saturday Slant
Week 12
How does the way you appear to others differ from the real you ?
Ooo this is so me! I think when people first meet me because I'm shy most of the time I seem aloof or uninteresting or like I don't care. Also I think people who don't know me too well think I'm all innocent and that they can't say anything risque around me hehe actually I'm not that innocent as many of you might know :) Also because I'm not into drinking some people might think I'm a prude or I don't like having a good time - which I do, I just don't think you need to drink to have a good time. Also people might thing I'm religious because I don't drink, which I'm really not. Anyway thats about it for this meme!

Ummm I would wish that Pete and I would be living in a nice house either here or England (not sure which yet!) And that we would have 2 dogs - a husky and a beagle, and two kids - a boy and a girl named Michael Ian and Chelsea Isabella. I would be working in journalism or communications somehow and Pete would be the next Bill Gates hehe ok maybe not ;) But we'd be happy! Ok thats a lot to wish for in 10 years but hey!! It could happen! (as Tony and Pete love to say) hmmmmm.
Well thats about it for now - hope everyone has a good holiday weekend as Monday is a bank holiday in the UK hehe. Peace out.

An English Redneck ? !
Well today the truth came out: Pete is actually an English redneck LOL It all start with him describing a song he heard about being tough and stupid or something. Hmmm then all the pieces of this puzzle started coming together: How he wants to move here all of sudden, how he likes ribs from this redneck place in Orlando called Cecil's, the way he likes the movie Jack@$$ and etc. I had to go on the internet to meet a redneck 3, 000 + miles away when I live in FL !!!! As you may know I strongly protest when anyone says I'm southern - not that I don't like southern people but my parents are from NJ but I'm not really a 'northerner' either hmmmm half breed I guess. Anyway I'm unofficially engaged to an english redneck so all is well. hehe. Don't mind me have gone crazy from procrastinating on my 4 - 6 page paper due Tues hmmmm. Feel tired - want to do Weds wish but I might just leave it til tomorrow when I'm more awake/energetic. Night.

Wasted Day
Well today was pretty much a lazy day. I didn't get up until about 10am which is late for me - and it felt so good not to really have to do anything. Of course I have a 4 -6 page paper due on Tuesday, two midterms and another paper to do next week but thats next week right ?! I have been pigging out on strawberries and cream mmmmmmm! My one vice is that I LOVE heavy cream - and especially when I'm in England this is a HUGE problem and part of the reason why I gain weight every time I go over there! ;) Everyone else has been quiet in blog land today - mmm best be off I guess and do something somewhat useful!
Ooo by the way: Pete got his credit card bill with the plane ticket on it - it turned out less than we expected with the conversion :) only 465 GBP ;)

Tuesday This or That (http://www.this-or-that.org)
1) Large or small family? Hmmmmm. Small immediate family but large extended family
2) Potato chips or Pretzels ? Both - depends on which I'm in the mood for.
3) House or apartment? House with my parents or Pete's parents at the moment - hopefully our own apartment eventually and then our own house eventually
4) Zebras or Giraffes? Ummmmm giraffes I guess - odd question
5) Candles or potpurri ? hmmmmmm I guess either - don't really use either at the moment I used to love candles though
6) Flowers or Trees ? Flowers I guess ;)
7) Right or left-handed ? Both Pete aned I are lefties :)
8) Model train or dolls/stuffed animals ? Stuffed animals - I have a ton from Pete ;)
9) Comedy or Drama ? Hmmmmm I guess either depends on my mood.
10) Thought-provoking question of the week: The city of Boston has recently banned smoking in all restraurants and bars. Would you want to see such a law passed in your city/town/country, or not ?
Well I think FL is passing it in Jan 2004 which wouldn't bother me - as I don't smoke and like it when there isn't smoke around me. In England people smoke in the mall which I think it weird as its been years since its been legal for people to smoke in a lot of public buildings here in FL , and probably most of this country. I don't think this law could be passed in bars in England, Guess we shall see.
In other news: Pete's parents have a birthday present waiting for me when I get there - awwwww ;) They're also going away the Monday - Friday after I get there so hopefully Pete won't have to work so we can have some alone time hehe yay!

Wanna see the most beautiful people in the world ????? Click here hehehehehe. I found the site thanks to Jennie's LDR links on her homepage ;)
Happy Christening
Awww today was my niece and nephew's baptism/christening. I say both because I'm unsure of the difference between the two. One I think is the actual sacrament, baptism, while the other is the celebration of it "christening." Anyway the babies were very well behaved and my Godson was an angel in church! If your a member of my MSN group go and see the pics - if you wanna be a member let me know and I'll email you an invitiation thing to it :) Oooo I also have started to transfer the members from the current US UK LDR yahoo group to my new one :) Thats about all the action for today - I could right more but I really must go change out of my dress and read for school tomorrow ugh.

Not According to Plan
Okay so Pete is considering moving here - don't get too excited it won't be too much in the near future. If you know us your thing, "What ? Wasn't the plan kinda set that Jul was going to move to the UK eventually???" Well it was in the past - lately we have been contemplating where we want to live, the more we think about it the more we really don't know! Pete has been talking about moving here more and more, and tonight he was talking to his parents and grandparents and ran it past them and they agreed with him. If you don't know I believe Blair is wanting the Euro to get into the UK without the people's vote on it (?) At least thats what Pete told me, I haven't read any articles online on it yet or anything. So that may have something to do with it as Pete said the other day if England becomes part of Europe in any way he's moving here. (If your English you will totally understand.) So anyway we *might* start looking into the K-1 Visa - again nothing set in stone. It feels weird and somewhat disturbing to me, but in another way really nice... give me more of the responsibility of everything though. Hmmmm we shall see - nothing will happen until I'm out of school either way really :( Oh well back to chatting with Pete ;)

Morning
I'm chatting with Pete at the moment ;) Last night I was getting depressed about our situation and everything so I took out some old emails and cards I had in a box under my bed. One of them really made me cry from happiness :) So I thought I'd share bits of it. Its from December 21, 1999 which is before we met in person. These are a few of Pete's words:
"Just remember whenever things are getting on top of and you and feel down, theres someone that loves you more than anything in the world. I'd die for you Julie, I promise we will never fight when we're married cause the only thing that matters to me is to make the girl I love happy and when we're old and cuddled up together, I want you to be able to look back through your life and always know that your special [ xxxxxx] I'll hold you every night and I'll always tell you how much I love you. [ xxxx]
Your my reason for living baby [ xxxxx] I need you so much [ xxxxxx] [...] I love you so much Julie [ xxxxx] I'll always be yours and thats a promise [ xxxx]
.... Thanks you for being the most beautiful girl to enter my life, and I'll always do my best to make you happy even though I might not be there in person right now, in your heart I'm right with you, as you read this I'm holding you and kissing you ever moment that goes by, whether your awake or asleep [ xxxxx] I love you [ my full name]
Always and Forever yours
All my love and soul
Pete
[ xxxxxxx ]
If your not crying by now theres something wrong with you! hehe. Enough sharing for now ;)

TFIF
Instead of TGIF, I'm saying TFIF. If you think about it for a second you should get it - Pete says TFIF was the original phrase but then they changed it to TGIF for obvious reasons. Hmmmm. I've been busy with school! Two summer classes are like the equivalent to 4 semester classes in my opinion - twice as much information in half the time and 4 days a week - whats up with that ?! Oh well 41 days til I leave for England! Yay
Ok all the Meme's suck for today but I found Spark - so here it goes:
Greatest Day — 16 May 2003
What, so far, has been the happiest day of your life?
Why was it special? Explore and enlist every one of your senses, and recall that day. How did it begin? Was there a scent in the air? A song on the radio? Who else, if anyone, was there? What other things today remind you of those 24 some odd hours? And how soon did you realize that it may very well have been the best day of your life?
Could you, conceivably, experience an even greater day in the future? What would it take?
Ummmm I have to say the happiest day of my life had to be when I saw Pete for the first time in the airport on Febuary 4, 2000. Actually up until then it wasn't the happiest day of my life - but probably the most stressful, to read about that click here. Anyway it all turned into the best when I hugged Pete and then when we were in the car and kissed for the first time. A lot of things remind me of that day, the bear my mom got me (she got me an "english" bear and Pete an "american" one - mine was dressed as a solider and his had stars and strips.); pictures from that day; conversations about that day, and memories. I realized it may have been the best day of my life the minute I got to see, talk, cuddle with, kiss with Pete for the first time. I think a greater day than that would have to be when we get married, which will be 100 times greater because we will be together forever and not have to leave each other.
Awwww anyway now I'm depressed! Have class in 20 mins grrrr.
Instead of TGIF, I'm saying TFIF. If you think about it for a second you should get it - Pete says TFIF was the original phrase but then they changed it to TGIF for obvious reasons. Hmmmm. I've been busy with school! Two summer classes are like the equivalent to 4 semester classes in my opinion - twice as much information in half the time and 4 days a week - whats up with that ?! Oh well 41 days til I leave for England! Yay
Ok all the Meme's suck for today but I found Spark - so here it goes:
Greatest Day — 16 May 2003
What, so far, has been the happiest day of your life?
Why was it special? Explore and enlist every one of your senses, and recall that day. How did it begin? Was there a scent in the air? A song on the radio? Who else, if anyone, was there? What other things today remind you of those 24 some odd hours? And how soon did you realize that it may very well have been the best day of your life?
Could you, conceivably, experience an even greater day in the future? What would it take?
Ummmm I have to say the happiest day of my life had to be when I saw Pete for the first time in the airport on Febuary 4, 2000. Actually up until then it wasn't the happiest day of my life - but probably the most stressful, to read about that click here. Anyway it all turned into the best when I hugged Pete and then when we were in the car and kissed for the first time. A lot of things remind me of that day, the bear my mom got me (she got me an "english" bear and Pete an "american" one - mine was dressed as a solider and his had stars and strips.); pictures from that day; conversations about that day, and memories.

Tonight we're going to Cry like it's 1998
1998 was an important year for me: it was my first year of HS, at close to the end of the year I met Pete online, and most importantly the best Teen Drama of all time...Dawson's Creek started!!! Hehehe. Well Dawson's Creek survived 6 seasons on the WB, the the drama and teenage angst culminating in the 2 hour Series Finale which just ended. Wow.
The show takes us 5 years in the future when Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Jen, and Jack all are back together in Capeside for Dawson's mom's wedding. (No one else gets married unfortunately :( ) Anyway so they all meet up again: Jack is an english teacher at the HS, is dating Pacey's brother (who is in an in the closet homosexual) ; Jen has a baby about one year old named Amy, is living with Grams in NYC, Joey is an editor in NYC, Pacey runs the local Icehouse Restraunt (formerly owned by Joey's family.); and Dawson is writing and producing a TV teen drama called 'The Creek' about his time in Capeside with the gang.
Ok here's a quick rundown of the action:
Pacey is sleeping with a married woman, the night before the wedding he gets beaten up by her husband. Also at the wedding Jen faints, she is taken to the hospital. Gram's breaks down and tells everyone she has a heart problem (Jen) the doctors can't do anything etc. Dawson and Pacey are still in the love triangle with Joey - she doesn't know who to pick. They all do a ton of soul searching in about 2 hours in the space of a few TV land days, Jen leaves a video for her daughter, Jack asks to raise Jen's daughter, she agrees etc. Jen dies in her sleep with Gram's right in the chair next to her sleeping, as soon as Grams wakes up Jen is already gone - she says to her "I'll see you soon child" - telling that she will also die soon (doesn't happen in the 2 hours though.) Finally Jack's bf comes out of the closet, the show ends with Joey watching the season finale of 'the Creek' but we can't see who is with her. It finally shows that she picked PACEY (YES!!!!!!) He is all teary eyed from the show - they call Dawson and say how great it was etc and it ends.
Ok I gotta go and finish reading as I have been slacking and crying for 2 hours hehe. Ending quote: "I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over..." Thats all folks !

Wednesday Wish
Week 11
(In honor of X-Men 2 ...) What "mutant" power would you wish to have ?
Hmmm probably the power to teleport anywhere - that way I would be with Pete a lot and not have to pay for airline tickets. Or get to school faster than driving, etc etc.
Got the my niece and nephew Baptism outfits today at Babies R' Us!! Such a cute store!! My sister is a pain to shop with though! hehe. Awww my nephew spit up on me in the store so now I smell of baby formula but thats okay! I always get so broody when I'm there! So Pete and I are now talking about how much we wish we could have a baby soon hehe - don't worry we have no plans for this just commenting hehe. Oooo by the way I added pics of my presents to my MSN Group for everyone who is a member ;)
Tonight I will be watching the 2 hour Finale of Dawson's Creek! (Jennie - if you want to know what happens I will probably go into it on my blog either tonight or tomorrow hehe as I know you used to be a fan and don't get the WB properly)

Looks like both Pete and I are:
China -
Debatably the most ancient and longstanding
cultures around, it is nowadays viewed as a
heavily populated but impovershed nation.
Positives:
Big.
Eclectic History.
Communist-Run (Control).
Worldwide Manufacturer.
Negatives:
Communist-Run (Bitterness).
Technologically Outdated.
Dissent.
Which Country of the World are You?

Morning
Well our AC was broken here in the house from Saturday afternoon until yesterday evening! UGH! This is FL so it was 95 F yesterday! It wasn't the kind of heat where you sweat - more the humidity where you can't breath proper if your AC is broken. At least its fixed now! Pete's been having a really bad week. On Saturday night he was having family problems - I'm not getting into it really as its barely any of my business nevermind anyone elses. But we talked a lot on Saturday night about it and he felt better. Then on Sunday LFC (Liverpool Football Club) lost to Chelsea (Chelsea United ?) Grrr so Pete was really upset! Yesterday his tooth was bothering him all day and he got soaking wet in the rain. Poor baby. After school today I'm going to my sister's to babysit for her for a hour while she goes to the dentist - then I'm sleeping over there as I don't have classes on Weds. Then on Weds my mom, my sister and I are going to pick out the babies Baptism outfit hehe yay! Anyway just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive - and happy now with AC!
