My Chemical Romance "Dead!" |
] |
I haven't been here in a long while. But things are looking up.
I got my best friend back. It's been amazing. I missed her so much. We've been hanging out semi-regularly (as regularly as her work schedule will allow), she reminds me how much I love life. We invented the silliest online game ever, but it was so much fun. Go to ebay.com and search wedding gowns. See if you can find the ugliest wedding gown ever.
I have applications out at USI. I'm trying to be a personal assistant. That would be excellent. It I could just get them to call me back. Blah.
My hair is driving me crazy. I desperately want to cut it, but I'm nervous about having a horrible haircut. I have also been thinking about dying it a chocolate color. I've been doing some looking around online; but I'm coming up empty handed. Talk about frustrating.
My sister's junior prom is this weekend. So I'll be headed Pike-ward this weekend, if you're interested.

FM Static "Girl of the Year" |
] |
It's been awhile. Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was good, very fattening...but fun. Kevin and I baked a French Silk Pie and a four layer German chocolate cake. They both went over very well. We drove up to Cincinnati to see his mom and the babies for Thanksgiving on Saturday. They were doing ok, under the circumstances. The baby is growing, she's a lot less gross looking.
I did some Christmas shopping online today, now I have most of what I want to get Kevin. Which is a relief. Dumbass and I finished shopping for Dad early this year, so I don't have to worry about him. I think that we're going to buy mom new curtains for Xmas this year. I know for sure what I'm getting Dumbass. So, that just leaves Kevin's family. Which won't let anyone know what they want til the day before Xmas, which is irritating to me.
Eli has lost most of his receivers, so the Giants have been doing poorly the last few weeks. Nevertheless, I asked for a bunch of Giants stuff for Xmas. Also on my list is a DS and an IPOD along with several books and other stuff.
Life is ok. Job prospects are grim. Family is fine. Relationship is great. Friends are nil. Things will all be ok.

Snow Patrol "Chasing Cars" |
] |
Well, this has been the worst week of my life (so far). On Tuesday, my car broke down on the Lloyd and wouldn't restart. Kevin left it on the shoulder of the road and went back to class. His mom and I went over to try and restart it, but it wasn't happening. So, we had it towed back over here. Wednesday I had a dentist appointment so Jan had to drive me to Oakland City so my dad could come get me. I went to the dentist and it sucked.
Dad brought me back down to Evansville to see what he could do about my car. Jan thought it was the fuel filter, so he bought one of those on the way down here. It turned out that it wasn't the fuel filter, it was the main computer that was broken. So we spent the rest of the day driving around looking for someone here in town that could get us one. O'Rielly's said they could get us one by 8 the next morning, so we ordered that one. On the way home, dad's axle on his truck fell off because the bolts that were holding the tire on broke off. He had to be towed home from Oakland City. Not surprisingly he couldn't make it down here on Thursday to fix my car because he was fixing his truck. He made it back down here on Friday and fixed my car.
Yesterday, Kevin and I were looking for cars for him, so he doesn't have to keep using mine, when Dumbass called and told me that dad had lit our garage on fire. She informed me that the garage was imploding and all the chemicals that were in there were exploding. The fire was so hot it was burning green and warped the siding on our house. We were in Newburgh when she called so we drove home, and I made it there in about a half an hour. By the time we got there the garage was completely gone and we had the whole town in our yard gawking. The mayor was even there taking pictures for the paper.
Kevin's friends from Louisville are here again this weekend. They just picked him up. He spent his morning looking for things to buy me for Christmas, and I realized by Christmas I wasn't going to have any money at all if I don't get hired soon. So, I've spent my morning crying. I can't even listen to Snow Patrol without sobbing. I intend on listening to it until I can make it through it at least once with out tearing up.
Kevin's mom is moving to Cincinnati to be with Tracy and her kids. She's just picking up and leaving. She's got two job interviews in Cincinnati on Tuesday. I realize that she wants to be near her grandchildren, but it seems like she's moving over there solely to clean up Tracy's messes.
I have a couple of jobs that I'm going to send my resume into today, but if they fall through too, I'm just going to have to go over to ActionTemp and start temping. I hate not having money to buy Christmas presents. Especially when Kevin has several things in his list that he's going to buy me. I feel so hopeless, and worthless.

You just read the best piece of advice you've had in a long time. So, when you know you're in the right and they're just being childish, selfish, etc. Remember that this pertains to them:
"You're an adult, right? The world is not perfect, nor is it fair. Your feelings can't be spared 100% of the time. Get over it."
Thank you.

New Found Glory "It's Not Your Fault" |

Note to self:
The next time that you decide to make friends with someone who's crazy, remember that they will /never/ change. They will /always/ be the type of people who think that their paranoia and neurotic tendencies make up their personality and who they //are//. Therefore, the people they decide to surround themselves with have to just accept that they're crazy. They will /never/ be the type of people who think they should put work into their problems and seek help because it would make them a better, healthier person.
And just because I want them to seek help and work through their problems does /not/ make me a selfish person. It shows that I only want what's best for them, so that our friendship may grow, instead of my hating them because they're crazy and don't want to change.
So, please, please save yourself the frustration.

Miranda Lambert "Kerosene" |
] |
Okay, so after giving up on S.I.N.E I put in an application at the Courier & Press. I'm hoping and waiting because it would be a perfect job for me. There is a copywriter job in the paper today that I really want to apply to, but they want 3-5 years experience. I may apply anyway.
Annie called a few days ago. It was /great/ to hear from her. She always seems to know when to call when I'm feeling my worst. I wish I had more friends like her, close by. Speaking of my phone, it /never/ rings anymore. And no, it's /not/ on silent or vibrate. So, by the time I get around to checking it I have missed like 8 calls. And since /no one/ leaves a damn message I don't know who's called because my caller ID is messed up. Arg!
Madden 06 is complicated. The new QB vision is difficult to get used to. Not to mention that I'm upset because they made the Giants out to be a crap team. I recently just saw the /cutest/ commercial on ESPN. It was the Manning family (Peyton, Eli and daddy) doing things together in football fashion at the end it says "The Manning's are ready for football, are you?" Then Peyton has the cable commercial, which is also cute.
Jan has gone to Cincinnati to clean house for Tracy, and to take care of Tracy's kids for the week. She dumped Marcus right before she left. She left Koda with Kevin and I for the week. So far I've taught Koda how to sit, stand, and shake. We're currently working on lay down. Soon to come, stay and down. I would like to teach her to roll over too...but that doesn't seem to work. She gets upset when you try and roll her over.
Kevin and I went home on Friday afternoon to help my sister prime and paint her room. We put two coats of primer on her walls Friday night and then two coats of paint on Saturday. It's refreshing to see her room not look like a dark dungeon anymore. We're headed up Pike-ward again this weekend although we have the picnic on Sunday.
So, I have this question, and it's been bothering me for several days. I have this friend who is dating this guy, right? Well, guy is off doing things behind friends back. I know if I tell her, she'll never believe me. So, I should just not stir waters and leave it alone for her to find out on her own, right?

Summer Obsession "Do You Remember" |
] |
Okay, so I still haven't heard back from S.I.N.E so I'm giving up and starting to look for something else...hopefully more local. I wasn't really looking forward to driving to Oakland City anyway.
Classes started up again today. I desperately miss going to class. Kevin has a late day today, he doesn't even start his day until 4:30. Then he has a night class almost every day. I scheduled him 18 hours which shouldn't be a problem for him. I think he's actually going to enjoy all of his classes except one. And that one couldn't be avoided, he has to take it to fulfill his requirements for his English major.
I think we're headed home this weekend, I know we're definitely headed home next weekend. Since the Ireland picnic is that weekend. Hopefully I have enough money/gas to get home twice.
Kevin and I cooked the best coconut cream pie this week. Unfortunately, the grocery stores around here really suck and didn't have any coconut milk. So, we bought actual coconuts and spent forever trying to get them cracked open. I eventually called Joel (cause he's experienced in cracking coconuts) and he laughed at me. I think he thought cracking a coconut was a little extreme. Oh well, it was a /great/ pie.
I met Kevin's new niece a couple of weeks ago. She's very tiny, and ugly (but newborns usually are). However, Jan tells me that Riley was the ugliest baby she's ever seen. Riley is the most adorable toddler ever. But the new baby is good and the family is good around here too.
I bought Madden 06 last week, and it finally arrived today. I can't wait to crack it open and see what's new. Recently we've beaten Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight 'Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned', Full Throttle, Hugo's House of Horrors, and Kevin beat Shadow Hearts: Covenant. I'm still playing the Sims 2 and Glamour Life expansion comes out in three days. I'm thinking about downloading Summer Life too. Pets comes out soon, I can't wait to have little Sims pets. If Clifton can't find Chain of Memories soon I'm just going to have to read the synopsis online and buy Kingdom Hearts II and play it.
I had a couple of frustrated and angry days a couple of day ago. Apparently I had a misunderstanding that I didn't even know about. I became very angry.
I really hope to find a job that suits me soon, because my life is going to games. And damnit I'm ready to grow up!

System of a Down "Old School Hollywood" |
] |
My interview with S.I.N.E went well. I didn't really want the job when I showed up there, but after hearing all the perks and the responsibilities it would be an excellent job. The reason that I didn't really want the job was because it was in Oakland City, which is a significant drive...even from the East side. However, she told me that I wouldn't be in the office every day and the days that I wasn't in the office they were going to pay me 44 cents a mile to drive wherever it was that I needed to be. Which should pay for the gas twice over, so that's a good deal. She also said that they would require me to work from home a couple of days a week or so (oh, no! work in my pajamas? whatever shall I do? *jumps for joy*) and since they were requiring that they were going to issue me a cell phone and a laptop /and/ pay for my high speed internet. (Sounds like a great deal so far, huh?) My responsiblities would require me driving to 9 different counties and speaking to elderly people about donating their time or money to helping educate kids. (This is a non-profit organization.) I would start out at $35,000 a year and get 10 paid holidays, 12 sick days, 4 personal days etc. On top of all that I get health, dental and vision insurance. Hooray! Now, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they call me back and actually hire me. Plus, my interview was with the woman that would be my boss. We got along great! She was nice, but direct. We got along fantastically.
Joel called me this week. We talked for almost two hours I think. It was really good to hear from him again. He's going back to college, this time at UNLV. I think that it'll work out for him this time. He's looking for a new job, but really...everyone I know is. We talked a lot about cooking, he's taken up making mousse. I really want to try now as well.
Annie also called me this week. Jason tore his rotator cuff; but otherwise they're doing great. She just bought a new Grand Am, and loves it. She's got two jobs at two different hospitals, which she also loves. We only got to talk a couple of minutes but she's doing great.
My car was having problems this week. Kevin and I started to go to his mom's office to pick up some papers that my mom faxed to me when my car just wouldn't start. It was slow cranking. I called my dad and he said he had no idea, but that he wasn't coming down to look at it because he probably couldn't fix it even if he did. So I called and bitched at my mom, who sent him down anyway (he was pissed the entire time...asshole.) By the time that he got down here, it was stone cold dead. He jumped me and we let it run for a little while. He left and Kevin and I took it to AutoZone and they told me my battery was bad/dead. So, I paid $80 for a new one and felt much happier about it.
Kevin's sister had her baby on Friday. It officially doesn't have a name yet, but last I heard they were going to name it Elania Nicole and call her Ellie. I personally think it's a hideous name. I can only think of Ellie Mae Clampett when I hear Ellie. I hope to be able to call her Nic, but that's a slim hope. She's otherwise doing great, she's tiny...but good. Jan left us here this weekend so she could go to TN for some tests and then up to LaGrange to stay with toothless Joe. /Then/ she was going to see the new baby. Unfortunately she left Koda with us as well. Friday night she was horrible, wouldn't sleep, she cried and whined forever. I almost could have killed her.
Oh yeah, and Kevin and I have been playing Madden football against each other. /Tons/ of fun!
That's all my big news, so bye for now.

Rhianna "Unfaithful" |
] |
Just home from a week long vacation to my parents' house. It was nice. Kevin and I got to sleep in, I didn't have to take care of Koda, we played lots of cards...it was relaxing. Now, we're back.
Since my last post I have beaten FFVII, and learned how to play hearts. We played a lot of Shanghi at home as well. Dallas finally came over and spent some time at our house.
S.I.N.E called me yesterday to schedule an interview for next Tuesday. I'm excited, kind of. The job would be in Oakland City, which is a long drive to and from Evansville every day. I have to find some "work" that I have done to take with me. I'll have to hunt up some of that radio copy that I did, and some press releases that I wrote for class etc.
Kevin's nieces came to visit last weekend. They're a blast. We think that his sister is in the process of having her new one right now. So, we're waiting impatiently for that news. Kevin is out with Drew doing whatever. Tomorrow is his birthday and we're headed to the Duck Inn for his birthday. We're doing dinner and games beforehand. Anyone who is interested should let me know.
Guess that's all for now.

Anna Nalick "Paper Bag" |
] |
I am back from my livejournal hiatus. Let's see. Father's Day was good, the play was, indeed, funny. I still don't have a job. I have applied to many different places, but no luck. I'm not dying for money right now, so that's good. Maybe I should tackle all of this in different blocks.
Kevin's mom is doing something stupid again. She's been seeing this guy for 6 weeks and it's all moving entirely too fast. Kevin's sister is still pregnant, and then her and her husband and their three kids will be moving in here. So, Kevin and I are looking for jobs so we can move out. I found lovely apartments downtown, and I can't wait to move into one of them. Oh yeah, and we still have that stupid dog Jan brought home. We were trying to give it away in the paper, because I didn't have the heart to take it to the humane society. Then we got attached to it, and decided to keep it. Now however, it has turned into a demon dog and I dread getting out of bed every day to take care of it.
My relatives came for a visit early this week. My aunt, uncle and cousin were here. I hadn't seen Aunt Shirley and Uncle Bill in about 3 years, and Sidney in about 10. Kevin and I drove up Monday after his class and hung out and played cards and Taboo and such. They took us out to dinner at the Black Buggy. (Speaking of which, I haven't tried the new one down here in Evansville...maybe I should do that soon.) Tuesday we went up right after Kevin's class and played more cards. Kevin taught everyone hearts, my mom taught Kevin cribbage, then we all taught Kevin Shanghai. Then Dumbass had Dallas over and we played Taboo together. I had a really great time at home this week. I do however miss my dog...terribly.
While I was gone from livejournal, my friend Emily called me up to go to Freedom Festival with her and her new boyfriend, Jere(a?)my. Kevin and I went to the country music stage and sat there miserably listening to the music. I did however, enjoy my time with Emily. I hadn't seen her in about a year. Kevin and I stayed for most of the concert and then I brought him home. After I dropped him off I met back up with Emily at IHOP. We sat around talking for a long time and then went our separate ways. She called me a couple of weekends ago and wanted me to call her back during that weekend. So I did, and she never got back to me. Guess we'll probably go another year without seeing each other.
Kevin and I are doing really well. No problems to speak of. Only the both of us being jobless, but I think that's working out well for our relationship right now. I think we needed some time to reconnect. Now that we've done that, we are concentrating on finding jobs. He's looking to be a waiter (I think I'd prefer on the West side, since after we move we'll be closer to that side...but he's not picky. Or that Japanese restaurant on 41.) I'm looking for something to use my degree for. There aren't any jobs like that around here. I found my perfect job where I want to eventually end up (Portland, OR)...but I need to be here right now. I found a grad school in Madison, WI. I think I'll take a year or two off and then do the grad school thing.
Who knows. I guess this is about enough for now.

Panic! At the Disco "Time to Dance" |

My favorite kind of afternoon (that I usually like to do on Sunday's...but I'll take what I can get) just turned into my favorite kind of summer evening. Kevin and I just spent all afternoon in bed, in our underwear, just talking. It was great. It's something that he and I just don't do. We usually don't just hang around and talk to each other. I enjoyed it a lot. Now if we could just make time to do it more often, the both of us might be happier.
I just went outside and my great afternoon turned into a rainy, stormy night. There is thunder, lightning, and heavy drops of rain. If I didn't have to take care of this stupid dog for Kevin's mom, I'd be out on the back porch reading (A Certain Chemistry by Mil Millington) and listening to the rain. But, if Kevin didn't have to be sleeping so he could work 3rd's tonight I'd still be in bed with him listening to the rain.
*Sidenote*
I /love/ the new Ford commercials. They are so fun and flirty.

Going home for Father's Day tomorrow. Mom is actually cooking lunch, and then we're leaving dad at home to do whatever he wants to do. Grandma, Mom and I are going to see "Over the Hill and Through the Woods" it's a play...supposed to be a comedy at the Veale Creek Theatre. Dumbass will be home from South Bend tomorrow around 5, so maybe I'll see her while I'm there too.

I don't really have a lot to say today. Just that I'm alive, and well...mostly. Kevin's mom adopted a new puppy and it's driving us all crazy. Someone dropped it off at a Hardee's in Williamsburg, KY and now it has a home here. It needs housebroken, and all that jazz. We need to make a vet appointment to find out what kind of dog she is, how big she's gonna get, how old she is...etc. She's an adorable dog, she's got a chewing problem...but I think that has to do with her teething.
I'm still looking for a job, but while looking today I found a bar-tending job. Then I re-visited the idea of going to bar-tending school. I think it would be fun to be a bartender, not to mention a pretty well paying job. This needs more thought.
Kevin put in his two weeks notice at Target last night. I think he's going to try and apply at Olive Garden or some place similar to wait tables. I do know that the Country Club is hiring wait staff. Maybe he would be interested in something like that.
Andrea is graduating at the end of this month, and I'm gonna go see her graduate to return the favor of her coming up here. I need to find her a gift, since she found me a very thoughtful one for my graduation. I'll have to take my new camera up and take pictures of us together with it. We took ones while she was here, but none of them turned out very well. But I need a cute picture of the two of us to stick in the beautiful picture frame she got for me. Speaking of my camera I need a new memory stick...mine blows. It can hold like 8 pictures or one video. Maybe that's what I should ask Kevin's mom for my graduation present.
I need to ask my sister if she'll ask grandma about the pictures she took at graduation, just to see if any of them turned out better than the ones we took. I'm not terribly photogenic. Andrea is though, she's so cute. Ugh, father's day is sneaking up on me again. I need to find a gift for that too...and Kevin's mom's birthday is next week as well. Tracy wants us all to chip in and buy /her/ a digital camera. Which is a good idea so she can take pictures of Taylor, Riley and Newbie.
It's summertime, where are all the parties at? I know that KISS FM has club Baja for all of the Hummer summer...we should get a group together and go check it out. I guess that's it.

Kenny Chesney "A Lot of Things Different" |
] |
"She loved, to be held and kissed and touched...But I didn't do it, not nearly enough"
Wow, I'm hoarse. Jan and I just got back from the Kenny Chesney concert. I screamed and yelled and hopped up and down. It was a good time. But now, I'm hoarse and can't really hear anything.
I had some people contact me about my resume, but I'm not sure how comfortable I am being a "sales representative". I applied for a job at Babies R' Us this morning, they have an opening for promotions coordinator. But so far, I'm just hanging out doing some re-modeling at my house and painting and then re-painting the outside of Kevin's house. Fatty is here for the week, and we went up earlier this week to hang out with him.
Dumbass, Fatty, Kevin and I spent all of yesterday up at Holiday World. We got Fatty and Kevin into the water park, and man...we had a blast!! So many slides, and the lines weren't that bad either. The boys rode the new roller-coaster, but Dumbass and I didn't have the desire to do so. I picked up some cotton candy, which...surprisingly I haven't eaten yet.
Kevin started 3rd shift again last night, he hates it, I hate it, his mom hates it...I think he's gonna quit Target. Which I would love, because I feel like they're jerking his chain a whole lot; but it's his decision and if he wants to stay then I'll support that too.
I'm supposed to head home again tomorrow morning to finish out the week with Fatty, but I don't know if I really want to or not. I mean, being able to laze around is nice. Sleeping until noon is great. But in all reality I can do that here. Free food, check. I have fast internet down here. Ah well, I'll figure it out soon I hope. I finally got to meet one of Kevin's infamous aunts last week. Judy came up from Tennessee to help us paint, she was a real character. Kind of reminded me of myself.
Some old friends found me on myspace yesterday and they let me know that one of the two stoner kids that I knew in high school had died. I am upset. Yes, he was a stoner. But he was an all around nice guy if you cared enough to get to know him. I know that he didn't believe in god, and sure as hell don't...but wherever he ended up...I'm sure he's rockin' out.
Speaking of friends, Jamie has deleted me from her friends list. That's really too bad, I saw a post of hers that I wanted to comment on and ask her a question. Now I can't. Hm.

Panic! At the Disco "The Only Difference" |

Wow, it's been a while. I'll update you on what's going on, and then I'll have a bitch fest at the end.
Firstly, I've graduated USI! I passed Ethnobotany with flying colors, and I'm excited about it. Graduation day was a blast. Annie came down the night before and we had a great time. I love and miss that girl. Kevin and I went and got haircuts early in the morning (I desperately needed one.) we got them while I was looking for an outfit to wear to graduation. We finally found one and rushed back home to change and get ready. I dropped Kevin and Annie off at Barnes & Noble to wait on Dumbass and Dallas, then rushed to the stadium. I was late because no one informed me that I had to be there before 1:45. Bastards. Anyway, some nice girl helped me get my cap and gown on. Everyone that I knew was going to be /in/ the stadium so I couldn't go out and give them my stuff so, I had to hook my phone over the lip of my skirt and attach my keys to it. It really was a ridiculous situation. I ran into Chris Baughn (the bassist from Anywhere But Here) while running to where I was supposed to be, it was nice to see him again. I walked, it was nice. I felt a sense of pride. I didn't want to walk, but everyone I know wanted me to. So they were happy that I did. Everyone gathered around and took pictures and all that garbage. Then we decided that we were going to go try Moe's Southwest Grill. I called up everyone I know that was available and we went. We then spent the rest of the evening getting drunk and playing games. It was fun.
Since graduation, I've been working on our kitchen. I think I've spent a whole 5 days down here in Evansville...maybe. The walls have 6 coats of stuff on them, and we laid the tile floor down this week. Yesterday we spent all day grouting the floor with black grout, and I am worn out.
This weekend, Kevin, Jan and I are going to Richmond, KY for Taylor and Riley's birthday party. Then Kevin has Jen and Val coming over on Sunday. On Monday Kevin is switching to the night shift for a little while to help out Target. I'm not really looking forward to it because that means that I'll be sleeping by myself, and we'll be living on different schedules. Oh well, maybe that just means that I'll be able to get my shit together and start talking to some friends I haven't in a while. Or maybe it just means that I'll have more time to spend remodeling our damn house. Who knows.
Next weekend, my cousin is coming into town for a week or so. His friend Aaron called me the other day to let me know that he was coming and that they were getting a D&D game together and wanted to know if I was interested. I told him yes, and we chatted a few minutes. It seems weird to me that Chris calls his friends to let them know he's coming but won't call his family. Oh well, I'm glad someone called us because now we have the opportunity to get the kitchen put back together before he gets here.
With all that said, I'll remind you that I've been in Evansville a total of /5/ days since graduation. That means I've been able to check LJ, myspace, and e-mail 5 days since graduation. So, what I hate is people who bitch and moan about me on LJ/myspace whatever without using my name (but I know who they're talking about), then a couple of days/posts later they're bitching about how I didn't respond to their whining. So, then they're more mad because I didn't respond to them; but they don't bother to check and see when the last time I logged on was, they didn't try and e-mail me and talk to me about it like a rational, normal human being. I adopted this policy a while back and announced it on here, so I'll reiterate...if you have a problem with me e-mail me and talk to me about it. I'll respond to your e-mail as soon as I get it, and then maybe we'll have the whole situation resolved. But your bitching, moaning, and whining about me or my behavior on LJ/myspace will not get you anywhere because I'm not going to give you the attention that you want. Thank you.

Panic! At the Disco "But It's Better if You Do" |

The week is almost over, and man am I happy about that. I did two presentations already this week, and I'm excited that they're both over.
I am /sore/. I went home this weekend to get my brakes fixed, and while I was there Dumbass and I decided that the outside wall of my room /had/ to be painted. I also went around and pulled off some of that ugly ass paneling in the hallway. We spent all day on Saturday messing around trying to make it perfect, and then gave up. I went and bought paint so they couldn't tell me what color I could paint it. Sunday, I primed and painted the outside of my wall. Anyway, while I was at Home Depot looking at paint, Dumbass and I found this really awesome tile flooring that I decided that I wanted to lay down in the kitchen. We went home and I pitched the idea of laying tiled flooring down in the kitchen, ripping up all that old crap and pulling down the paneling in the kitchen as well and painting it. Dad loved the idea because he didn't have to do any of it. Well, he pitched it to mom and she agreed to let me and Dumbass do it this weekend. So, I'm already sore from doing the outside wall of my bedroom and the hallway.
Also, yesterday Kevin and I went to play volleyball with some friends and I am now even more sore. My hands and shoulders and my butt hurt. I have two days to recover from that before I go and tackle the kitchen...by myself because Kevin has more important crap to do. Even though I'm sore, I had a great time playing volleyball with Tom, Stu, Aaron, John and Kevin. I really wish we had had two more players to make it a four on four game...but oh well. After volleyball we headed over to Old Chicago. This is the third time I've been there, and I don't think I'm a fan of the place. I know lots of people who swear by this place, but I'm not a fan. I can't find anything that I really want to eat there.
I introduced Jenny to Panic! At the Disco today while we were out driving around looking for the fugitive. I'm in love with them right now I think. I had Kevin download and burn their CD for me, and I play it all the time. They're going to be in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Indianapolis over the summer. Depending on when we decide to go we could see either OK Go or The Dresden Dolls with them. Tickets are only $18, and I'm looking forward to seeing them. I'd buy tickets right now if I knew that Kevin definitely wanted to go with me, or when he would rather go. Anyway, for all of you who haven't heard them yet...check them out, awesome. They have myspace. The fugitive also has myspace. Everyone has myspace.
Tomorrow I have to go consolidate my school loans. blah. I am /not/ looking forward to paying those back. But I had to fill out a bunch of shit to finish my stupid exit counseling so I'm gonna have to start paying them back in 6 months. I'm not even sure I finished all of my exit counseling, I did one of them...I'm not sure if I have to do them both or not. I guess I'll ask the financial people tomorrow.

Panic! At the Disco "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" |
] |
Well, the semester is almost up. Just a couple of more weeks and I'll be a college graduate. I sent out half of my graduation invitations yesterday. I need to go buy more stamps to get the others out. I think the plan is drinking or something after graduation, which is good news. Mom asked me if I wanted a graduation party, but I don't know anyone that wants to drive up home to have one. So, it'll just be family there or something.
I finished and turned in my Templar paper, and man am I relieved. Finally, I get to relax and not have to worry about getting that stupid thing done. I turned it in today, and I give my presentation for it on Monday. Not really worried about it. I do get to turn in all those stupid books tomorrow. They won't be taking up space. I need to start cleaning out the apartment too...I'm not really looking forward to that either.
Anyway, so I've done this silly thing. My phone is dead. From ringing and voicemails for the last three or four days. That's right. I'm stupid. My phone has been on vibrate for the last almost week. So, if you've called, and I didn't answer...that's why. As soon as my phone is charged. I promise I'll get back to you.
My breaks in my car are bad. I tried telling Dad a couple of weeks ago, he said they were fine. Now, they're making that disgusting metal on metal noise. I have to take it home this weekend and get the pads replaced. I'm going to propose that I'll start making payments on a new Eclipse, if they pay for the insurance. I'm tired of worrying about my breaks, that crazy noise that it's been making, whether or not it's going to break down on the Lloyd, whether it'll make it from campus to Target or not. I'm sick of driving that piece of shit. Since they are obviously not going to get around to doing something about it, then goddamnit...I'll do it myself.
I am looking for a job for after graduation. I haven't really found anything interesting yet...but I'll keeping look for something.

The Fray "Over My Head (Cable Car)" |

I think I've finally finished my Woody Allen paper, I have yet to take a look at the other two that Jamie sent me...but I really don't want to work on Woody Allen anymore. In fact, if I never hear about his personality or personal life again it'll be too soon. My knights templar paper has been postponed until next Weds. which is good because I really don't want to write it. I was supposed to be writing it tonight, but Kevin's mom invited her new boyfriend over and we had dinner. I talked with him a while and now I'm finished with all that I think.
I joined the gmail family a couple of days ago, so if you all have gmail and you want my new address let me know. I've been messing around with myspace, you should all go check it out. Though, I haven't been able to play with my new camera yet. I hope to be able to take pictures this weekend and get them posted.
You all are invited to graduation, even if I can't get a formal invitation out to you, on May 6th starting at 3p in Robert's Stadium. I have decided to walk (for better or worse), and then who knows: maybe dinner, or out to the movies or something.
I think I have to work this Saturday, so if you're in town you should come by and see me at: Blockbuster (9:30a-11:30a) on Wash. Ave., Rent N Roll (12p-2p), or West Side Honda (3p-5p). Ya know, keep me from wanting to poke my eyes out. I wanted to head out to some bar somewhere this weekend too...but it looks like papers and having to work will rain on that parade.
I lust after this song. The back beat makes me wanna have sex. LOL
