Waiting for the chill [30 Oct 2007|04:45pm] Things are not so hot lately. I'm not in the best place. On a sidenote, when will the Godforsaken heat end? 1 comment|post comment

ugggh. [03 Sep 2007|07:00pm] I don't know what to think. You call me several times a week and want to talk to me. You ask me to hang out with you and your friends. You tell one of my best friends that you used to like me, and that some of those feelings still linger but you don't want to do anything rash. Then you ask that same friend if I talk about you. Then you tell her we do talk a lot, but you like being single. What the hell? What am I supposed to think? Maybe I'm just taking this too personally. I understand that he just came out of a long term serious relationship a little over a month ago and that he got really hurt. But at the same time, if he wants to be single why is he acting so interested in me and getting me all interested in him? Maybe. I don't know. Maybe he does like me, but he's just not ready yet. I can deal with that. It's totally understandable. I guess I just have to wait and see. The only problem is that this requires patience. Something I don't have a whole lot of... post comment

[16 Aug 2007|08:26pm] I'm so tired I could fall asleep right now. 1 comment|post comment

Just an update [12 Jun 2007|08:59am] [ mood | exhausted ] I know I haven't been posting in here much at all lately. The main reason is that it seems to be that everybody is drifting away. People don't update as much anymore, we don't comment on one another too often. Anyway, I'm over at opendiary.com now where I keep a more interesting, more updated journal. I'll still post here every now and then though. So here's a real entry for you. I'm of absolutely no use to the world until after 12 noon. However, my bosses don't really know this since I only come in earlier than noon two days a week- Thursdays I'm here at 8am and Fridays at 9am. Monday through Wednesday I don't get here til 1pm. This week, the lady who works in the morning is out of town on vacation with her young daughter, so one of my higher supervisors asked if I'd be willing to come in for the morning just this week. I was wanting to say 9am or 10am, but I could tell by the look on her face that this was not gonig to be early enough. I really wanted to please this lady, as I have a bit of a feeling she's not as fond of me as I'd like for her to be. You have no idea how difficult it was for me to say "I can be here at 8." Ugh. It's so hard for me to do that. We actually open at 7:30am during the summer, but there's just no way that was going to happen. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I start teaching and have to be at work by 7:30 to get ready for the day. That will be a huge adjustment. Also, I need to stop watching Scrubs when I get in bed at night. I get all into it and can't fall asleep. That was the case last night, and it made it so much more difficult to be here by 8 this morning. I don't think I fell asleep until almost 5am. But it wasn't just that I was enjoying the show, I was also having a hard time getting comfortable, I was hot, restless and it was just not a good night. I was supposed to go to the gym after I'm off work at noon. But yeah, that's not going to happen. I'm too tired and still too sore from my kickboxing workout on Sunday. I'm just going to crash on the couch as soon as I get home and hopefully not wake up until I have to come back to the college for my class at 4:45. By the way, I really like that class. I'm learning how to do all sorts of nifty things on the computer, and the instructor is very cool. As for the gym... I'll try for tomorrow. Oh but this weekend will be fun! Everyone will be in town and I'm so excited! I may have mentioned that already, for Father's Day and whatnot? Ryan (my brother) is arriving around 3pm Friday afternoon, and Marisa and Fes (my sister and brother-in-law) will be getting here late in the evening. I'm very excited. This will be the first time I'll have seen my sister since she's been pregnant. Granted, she wont look much different- she's just starting her second trimester, but still! It shall be fun. I'm so excited to be an auntie! post comment

[06 Jun 2007|05:15pm] My tummy hurts. And I'm stuck in class for more than another hour. *whimper* post comment

[31 May 2007|03:31am] It's weird. The left side of my face is super hot for no reason at all. I'm just laying in bed in the dark and the fan is on. I don't understand. In other news, apparently I've stopped sleeping again. hmph. 1 comment|post comment

[17 May 2007|09:26pm] [ mood | nostalgic ] She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god So she names the baby Elvis To make up for the royalty he lacked And from then on it was turpentine and patches From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can And they were just two jerks playing with matches Cause that's all they knew how to play And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window And she knew they were destined to become Sacred road kill on the way And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes Cause it's been turpentine and patches It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can And they were just two jerks playing with matches Cause that's all they knew how to play Elvis never could carry a tune She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin Saying why don't I begin again With turpentine and patches With cold, cold Campbell's from the can After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches It's just that he's not around to play along I'm still an ass hole playing with candles Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams Just sitting here and trying to decipher What's written in Braille upon my skin... post comment

stinky=sexy [17 May 2007|07:24pm] Past few nights I'm finding it near impossible to fall asleep. Today I started working out again. Tomorrow I have to work graduation til flippin' 8 at night and work on my paper. Saturday, more paper, church, pool with Meg. Sunday, Pampered Chef party at Jen's (not that I'll buy anything). Sigh. One week until Julian.... I'm beyond unable to wait. My brain is fluffy and out of it. I feel like laying around all night and just watching Law & Order SVU. Hopefully it's on tonight. Bathtime. I'm all sweaty. post comment

[09 May 2007|09:57pm] I... am bored. And broke. post comment

[04 May 2007|06:05pm] I just used Nair on my legs. They've never been so smooth before in my LIFE! There is a little burning sensation going on, but I rinsed them off totally. Tonight it's pamper party with Brittany, Harry Potter, tacos and Corona. 5 comments|post comment

3 weeks to [partial] freedom [25 Apr 2007|07:28pm] [ mood | accomplished ] Phew! I just finished my research paper for Dr. Glass. That's one more thing to scratch off my list, yay! I haven't posted in damn near a week- that's like, forever for my neurotic posting habits :P Where have I been? Huh. It's a good question. I guess the only real answer to that would be "busy." This weekend flew by, but I did get a good deal of relaxing in. Shouldn't have done that, because now I've got that much more to do, which could have been finished instead of relaxing! Ugh. I can't wait until this is all just... over! Today at work I got a scare. My boss wanted to talk to me, and immediately I thought "oh, shit, what did I do?" But it turns out that NAU's other office on campus is short handed and they were wondering if I'd be willing to redistribute myself for a while in order to help out. I have absolutely no problem with that, especially since it's much slower over at that office- I'll mostly be dealing with the professors and program directors, instead of clueless, needy students. But apparently, the faculty can be pretty bizzare as well. Anyways, I'm finishing out the week with Student Services then I'll move on over to Faculty for who knows how long. Lisa, one of my bosses, told me I better not like it and decide to stay over there. It made me feel loved. Sleepy. On a random note, every few days someone is asking me if I colored my hair. I did color my hair, but it was like 3 and a half weeks ago. It's actually a lot lighter than it was before, but everyone is saying that it looks darker. Ooookay, whatever! People are odd. I'm feeling the urge to dye it soft black again. Hmmm. >P post comment

beautiful, fabulous, delicious rain! [16 Apr 2007|02:53pm] [ mood | refreshed ] *Sigh* It rained today! It actuallllly rained! Ah, it was so nice. People were coming into the office all soaked from being in the parking lot and their wet clothes and hair smelled like rain and it was fabulous! I didn't get to see it really pouring, just drizzling when I got to work. But it's still all nice and wet outside, and I bet it smells delightful. Something good must be about to happen. It always rains when something good is going to happen to me. 1 comment|post comment

[11 Apr 2007|07:09pm] [ mood | exhausted ] I hate it when there's absolutely nothing you can do for someone that you really care about when there miserable. The only thing you can do is just listen, talk and hold. But it's never enough. I'm making headway on all this homework! GO ME! post comment

[10 Apr 2007|11:26pm] [ mood | frustrated ] Sometimes I feel like all I'm doing is busy work. Am I really even learning anything here?! I don't think so. post comment

[09 Apr 2007|01:33pm] I took a 15 minute nap today on the couch, in between class and work. I wish it had been a 4 hour nap, and I was still there doing it. But instead, I came to work and then I have class til' 5:45. THEN, I can go home and sleeeep. post comment

[08 Apr 2007|04:10pm] You reap what you sew. And unfortunately, this was one of the few times I didn't sew as well as I could have. Happy Easter, by the way! 7 comments|post comment

[07 Apr 2007|10:29pm] Woo hoo! My room is actually semi-clean! All that's left to do is vacuum, dust, and throw crap away under bed, in closet and cabinets. Ew. But at least it looks nice on the SURFACE :D post comment

if only these things were true... [30 Mar 2007|06:02pm] "If you're single, dear Leo, a new love could appear, right there in your neighborhood. The person should be attractive, intelligent, and free-spirited, and very much attracted to you! You could meet this person in an unusual way, and end by spending some time together and making plans to spend more. The only caution: take care not to move too fast. You won't want this new relationship to be like a meteor, burning out as quickly as it appeared. " post comment
