"Bad girl, drunk by six, kissing some stranger's lips, smoked too many cigarettes today, I'm not happy when I act this way." Madonna (she's a liar)
Hi, I am Andrea and I've never made a web page before but I'm going to try it. I've nicknamed my computer "Evil Box" and "Satan" because it plays tricks on me just about every hour or so. I want to update this often because I am a talker and have a lot to say but Satan shuts down on me a lot so we'll see.
As for you asking "who the hell is this girl, I don't give a shit about her computer, I want to know where she goes to school and how much her cat weighs" I can help you out: I'm a junior at Syracuse University and I am studying speech communications and anthropology, which will be of no use to me because I want to work at a record label when I graduate.

I am obsessed with music, especially classic rock. I like newer rock too but not as much. Actually anything with a good guitar solo makes me excited, so I'm happy listening to stuff from Widespread Panic to Pink Floyd to Allman Brothers to Metallica. Ideally, after graduation next year, I'd like get paid to lunch and go to concerts and stuff like that. Hmm... probably won't happen but a girl can dream, can't she?

I'm from the Jersey shore and I love going to the beach and really fun bars, I recommend the Mad Hatter in Sea Bright because in the summer they have this band that plays covers of classic rock songs. Don't go to Ichabods with a fake ID - they are monsters in there. Probably because it's next to a police station. Also Barnacles in Rumson is always hoppin and lately they've been getting a younger crowd.
Above is a picture of me and my children. I'm on the far right, obviously the shortest one.
"Let me in, I want to be your friend. I want to guard your dreams and visions." Bruce Springsteen
This is Sea Bright Public Beach, where I worked for four summers. My job was to read magazines, lie in the sun, go shopping at 7-11, harass people over the walkie talkie... oh and check badges and make good "tips." OK you got me it's not a picture of SBPB I was just kidding. New Jersey does not look like this - it's better. The majestic beauty of the beach cannot be captured on film because it would break the camera.
I love Doc Martens. I really want these sandals, but, they're kind of pointless considering it's almost wintertime (although who'd know it from the great weather we've been having here in Syracuse). I wear my blue DM booties almost every day, even though they're getting a little ugly now. I've had them for almost four years and they last so long they are going to be with me forever. As cheesy as that sounds.
London Tower Bridge
I'm going to London next semester which is going to be awesome. We get Fridays off so we can travel, it's really cool. I'm so excited to go, January 7th could not come any sooner. Before I go I will be working at Bath and Body Works over Christmas break again, mostly to get a discount at Express... and Express Men, which is the new name for Structure. hahahaha

Since I started working at Pizza Jerks, I've needed to work out. All I do is eat in there, and rather than starve myself (God forbid I stop eating, what a craaaaazy idea) I decided to work out. Occasionally. I just do the elliptical trainer and the treadmill. I haven't been going to the gym that often but when I do go I love it because it's the best way to relieve stress.

My favorite thing to do is drive long distances, like the 5 hours to school. It's a really nice drive because I go through the Poconos (I-81). Driving is so relaxing, especially when you're alone in the car. Fritos, water, CDs, and anything smokeable make for great driving companions. I tend to sing a lot in the car - ok, I'm singing constantly - and I always end my drives with no voice. But I always have a great time. My drive to and from school also goes through the mountains between Syracuse and Binghamton... they are incredible. Try to get a look,except it's difficult to do while you're driving. So be careful. If you really want to see this gorgeous view, I recommend doing this around October. Stop at this rest stop (on the highway) right outside of Binghamton. Bring a camera. You will not be sorry.
These are the Rochester Mountains. I don't drive through them on the way to school, obviously, but they look like the ones I pass...
I love hoodies. I wear one every day. Basically, I'm just too lazy to dress up.

I know this page is starting to sound silly, so I could really use some suggestions. Specifically, how do I get more links on here. I put a guestbook on here, if you don't sign in, I'm sending my 20lb cat, Arizona, to come and sit on you. And trust me, she's good at sitting, it's all she does. And don't think I don't know who you are.

You can IM me too, when I was twelve I decided that my name should be Sunny478, and it's been the same ever since. Ouch.
This is a black Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is what I have. It's a '94 and doesn't run too well but it's really comfortable to sit in. I just got a twelve CD changer in it, improved my life a lot. Especially because I deliver pizza.

I decided to put the weather on here because I think everyone should be interested in what it's like outside, I mean come on, it's a lot easier to find out if it's raining on the computer than to actually walk over to the window!

You wish you were this hot.
Good luck with this game. Email me when you win.
RAAAAH I'm coming to get you!!!
"A selfish heart is trouble, but a foolish heart is worse." The Grateful Dead
Shout out to Lauren (the immigrant in the picture above), who thinks that Monmouth Park Racetrack should be mentioned. I had this awesome job there for two summers where I was lucky enough to wear a purple polo shirt and khaki shorts every day and serve hot dogs and beer. Really, it was fun. Really. Lauren worked there for a couple of days but she was fired for stealing money from the register, she took like hundreds of dollars and was dumb enough to go on a shopping spree in the racetrack gift shop. Just kidding. She wasn't fired, she decided to work with emotionally disturbed teenage boys instead, which was a good move.
Friends are fun!

I have two other best friends from home, Kristin and Jaclyn. Kristin worked the money room at the racetrack, then she got promoted to Picnic Nazi, also a good move. Jaclyn was a nerd this summer and took classes, but at least she was smart enough to stick with Lauren Tort. Shout outs to them too.

And my three friends at school, Yara, Liz, and Lins. I really do have more friends but these are the most deserving!
"Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar." The Doors
Lins and I are going to adopt a panda bear and name it Sweet Cheeba. It's going to be a stoner and eat a lot (taking after his parents), much like the fat bear above.
"And her name is: G-L-O-R-I-I-I-I-A Gloooooria!" Van Morrison
My bad qualities: I don't eat anything healthy (I swear, veggies give me a stomach ache), I talk too much, I can't go to bed before 2, and sometimes I'm too impulsive, like when it comes to piercing my ears. I cannot walk by Claire's in the mall without punching another damn hole in my ear.

"I feel like a mad scientist, I've got loose change in my head... now that you're gone I'm sober every night, I can't get high." Widespread Panic
I really, really hate green beans. I did start eating salad as of father's day but not too often, like once every few months. It's a good start, though.
My good qualities: I'm empathetic, smart, can wear my hair curly or straight, and have mastered the art of pizza delivery. OK this page is getting pathetic now.
Those aren't my cats....
...but I do have an orange one at home named Tyler (Baby T), shown above. He catches birds midflight and brings them home to show my mom. He's so cute...
I am a giant nerd and spend most of my time here... at the library! But it's not like I'm there studying all the time. I stay on the bottom floor socializing under the guise of a good student. Hey, at least I make the effort, right?
I have two parents, Seena and Russ, and a younger brother Evan, who is a senior in high school. This is obviously not them.
