My given first name is Amy but where I live the last thing you are called is your actual name. I either go by Ames or Pach to a select few. I was born and raised in Somerville, Ma. Somerville is a shit city right outside of Boston, Ma. For some reason, unknown to everyone, if you live in Somerville, you cannot be called by your first name, and if you are called by your first name, it is usually a different form, example: Amy = AMES. Somerville is definitely a mixing pot now, although before it was predominantly white, consisting of a mix of blue collar Irish-American, Italian American and to a slightly lesser extent Portuguese American families who are spread throughout the city. My dad is straight from the Azores in Portugual. One of the earliest American flags was raised on Prospect Hill, above Union Square, on January 1, 1776 in Somerville. Somerville was once colloquially referred to as "Slummerville" and "Scummerville", referring to its blue-collar residents and its reputation for crime, especially in the city's east, where James "WHITEY" Bulger and the "Winter Hill Gang" were based. If your from Somerville, you know your hometown as "Da Ville". Probably stupid to you, but you HAVE to have PRIDE right?
I currently live in Southern New Hampshire but you wouldn't know it, since i'm always in the city. It is definately true that "you can take the girl out of the city but can't take the city out of the girl." I turned 22 on March 23rd, making me Aries. Fortunate for me, unfortunate for everybody else, because my birthday is right around the cut-off day for the zodiac sign Pisces, I have qualities of both. However my Aries side is defiantely stronger..."Aries are joyful, aggressive, willful, assertive, outspoken, powerful; enthusiastic about whatever interests you at the moment, focused in short bursts, unlikely to sustain interest in the long term; ego expression; adventurious, pioneering; Warrior-type energy; impatient with having to cooperate with others, works best alone or in leadership role; unconcerned with approval or acceptance; lacks persistance and stamina; honest and forthright, a "what you see is what you get" type of individual." Yea, that is me to a T.
I am in a long term relationship with the love of my life & his name is Derek. I met Derek when I was working at a convenient store right down the street from my mother's home in Salem, NH. I definitely lucked out finding Derek, for he really is "a good guy." I will probably mention him quite a bit, considering that we live together with my mom in her home. I have decided that I am in no rush to move away from home and enter the real world with bills and such: no thank you-
I currently attend a community college as a transfer student, and I can't wait to go to a 4-year college. I am working on my bachelors' degree in Psychology. Although I got quite a late start, considering im in my 2nd semester and i'm 22, I am anxious to get it done.
Fortunately for me, when I was in high school I started making some bad choices. Yes I said fortunately. Although in my past i have done a lot of not-so-nice things, I have learned so many of lifes' lessons, and I wouldn't do it any differently. Although I have learned from my mistakes, I have NO REGRETS. I'm sure there will be more of my past in upcoming entries but definately don't have time to write that book right now!!
I am pretty much your typical girly-girl. You will always find me in pink! I love to go to tanning, get my nails done, and be at the hair salon. I love to go out with my girl friends and you can usually find us at the club... shakin' our a$$'s off. I LOVE TECHNO MUSIC!!! But pretty much listen to anything under the sun. I am a big fan of music in general and without music I would probably go insane. I think it's sort of like a crutch for me in some way. But i'm not all party either. I know now that if you work hard, you can play harder. And I definately have a "stay at home and watch a flick with the boyfriend" side too.
I love to shop and i'm into glamour and fashion. I'm definately a celeb junkie and love to catch up on all the hollywood gossip with a good magazine. I love to read and enjoy poetry as well as astrology. I'm into medicine cards (when I remember) and think all that kinda stuff is really interesting. I really enjoy school and like to learn new things. I think the fact that, through the internet, you can meet and learn things about people from different contries is amazing!
I like to think that i'm a pretty chill person. I absolutely hate drama and people that are consumed with it. I truly believe that you must treat people how you want to be treated. I try my hardest not to judge people..."You can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain."
LOVE: ME

So.....I have not posted in forever...partly because I realized this past semester of school that my time was pretty limited for livejournal! Buuuut...now i'm on break so I am going to do some major catching -up! Life as I know it right now....
[school] Well, this semester is finally over and I of course made out like a bandit! I believe I will pull away with all A's and thats fucking-fantastic! I am registered for spring classes but am looking forward to the time off.....
[love] Derek and I are quite well these days! Things are quiet as he is working and I am going to school. We come home...he sleeps and I study! What a life! Now that the holidays are here hopefully there will be a little more excitement in life...
[everything else] Well, aside from my parents almost losing their home things have pretty "normal" whatever that means. Theres still some bullshit going on regarding our home, but nothing definite yet. I cant believe the day after tomorro is Christmas! Thankfully, all my shopping is done!!! Loves it!
I hope all is well and Happy Holidays!!! |

A time comes in your life when you finally get it ... when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH!!! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awakening. You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change...or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon. You come to terms with the fact that you are neither Prince Charming or Cinderella and that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you...and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance. You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are...and that's OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions. And you learn the importance of loving and championing yourself...and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval. You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn't do for you) and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected. You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and that it's not always about you. So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself...and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance. You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties...and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness. You realize that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your psyche. And you begin to sift through all the junk you've been fed about how you should behave, how you should look, how much you should weigh, what you should wear, what you should do for a living, how much money you should make, what you should drive, how and where you should live, who you should marry, the importance of having and raising children, and what you owe your parents, family, and friends. You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for. You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with...and in the process you learn to go with your instincts. You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix. You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life. You learn that you don't know everything, it's not your job to save the world and that you can't teach a pig to sing. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO. You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake. Then you learn about love. How to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving and when to walk away. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. And you learn that alone does not mean lonely. You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs. You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK...and that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things you want...and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands. You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity and respect and you won't settle for less. And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drink more water, and take more time to exercise. You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play. You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you deserve...and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecyu learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different from working toward making it happen. More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You also learn that no one can do it all alone...and that it's OK to risk asking for help. You learn the only thing you must truly fear is the greatest robber baron of all: FEAR itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms. And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom. You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people. On these occasions you learn not to personalize things. You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to answer your prayers. It's just life happening. And you learn to deal with evil in its most primal state - the ego. You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls. You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower. Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than your heart's desire. And you hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind. And you make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility. Finally, with courage in your heart and God by your side you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best you can.
