The big D

i took the bus up to dallas today, on the ride i read the girls guide to hunting and fishing. it wasn't a bad book, it wasn't great either. it did make me miss the days when i had a boyfriend. mainly just knowing i could call someone no matter what. whether i wanted to tell a joke i'd heard or cry for no reason, barrett was always there for anything. now i've replaced that with random physical closeness and i don't have anyone to call or hangout with for no reason. of course i have my friends and they're great, but it's a different kind of communication with your friends. so the question is do i start actively seeking a boyfriend? i haven't done to well with actively seeking a job, so that's probably not the best idea. i guess the best thing to do is just reminisce about the way things were, be happy with the good changes and try not to dwell on the negative. i guess that's a pretty good break down of my theory on life. minimize the negative, focus on the positive - but don't forget about the past. this has certainly been an psychoanalytic entry hasn't it? tomorrow i'm planning on putting some more dolls up on ebay for my grandmother, hopefully they'll sell for tons of money and i won't have to find one of those annoying little job things.

you gotta have friends

Emotion: somewhat giddy

i just feel like i need to say something about the conversation i've just had with my friend jill, she lives in houston now so we don't get to talk everyday like we used to when she lived just around the corner. but our friendship is still fabulous. we got to chat online for awhile tonight and she helped me out with some stuff and i just feel a million times better. it's so nice to know that i have someone who really accepts me for who i am. and not just accepting she prefers me the way i am and wouldn't want me to change. i like being able to look at that relationship and be proud of it, very few people have such good friends, and i'm so thankful of mine. THANKS JILL!

this page has visitors?

Description: jeans, a "going out" shirt, and socks

well, i just checked my tracker and it looks like people have actually visited this sight. I'm pretty surprised i haven't told that many people about it. but i have a sneaking suspicion it's those wonderful adpi's. so, in light of recent events i've decided to put a guest book on the page so that people can let me know when they've visited. i hope it won't sit empty. now that i know people are reading this i have to decide whether or not to start writing as if i was speaking to these readers. i think i'll stick with my regular format, sort of inner-monologue meets censored teenager.
it's been a very very eventful couple of days. thursday night was super weird (for those of you reading this e-mail me and i'll give you the details). on friday, corey, tim, erin and i went to the van's warped tour down in houston. it was a blast, except the bands only played like 25 minute sets, so that was kind of disappointing. but i did get to see flogging molly and NOFX. plus i've discovered a new band, limitpoint, i know it's not the best band name, but after the concert we were sitting outside waiting for my brother and one of the guys from the band came up and asked us if we'd heard them and would we like to buy their cd, of course we had to say no because we were all broke but he had an mp3 player and let us listen to the band and they sounded pretty good, plus he was really cute, so i visited the website and downloaded some songs, and i've decided i will definitely be in the audience next time they're in austin. we got back from houston last night around 3 and i was tired so i decided to take a nap at tim's before the final world cup game. well when the game came on it was really hard for me to get out of nap mode so i guess i only watched about half of it, i drifted in and out the whole time. but yay for brasil! tim would not be happy i said that, but i'm pretty sure he isn't one of the ones reading this so i'm not to worried. anyway to do a final bit of catch-up today corey tim and i went to eat at el arryo, and then laura and i went to see Mitch Hedburg, the greatest comedian of our time, and he had a ton of new jokes that i hadn't heard before so that was great. now i'm back in my room, it's a mess. i've got to find a job and i've got to go to dallas to visit my grandparents and my sister is coming to visit me on wednesday so i don't know when i'm going to work on that job thing. but i'm running out of funds so i'm sure it will happen soon.

up all night

Location: my apartment - that's right, let's hear it for NetZero!
Emotion: auto-pilot
Description: PJ's

it's early in the morning and i've been up all night, but so far i've already re-newed my driver's license online, searched about 3 or 4 job search sites, cleaned my room, and finished several pages on my scrapbook from London. whew! i should be tired, but i'm not. i'm sure i'll crash here in an hour or two, but i'm going to go out and get a paper first. i might as well try another media, the internet hasn't been super helpful so far.
I'm super excited about warp tour this weekend. Tim and i are going for sure, and erin and corey might come with us. we tried to talk richard into it, but i think he might soptaneously combust if he leaves his house for that long.

swf seeks hi-paying job with good hours

Well, i've slept the day away again. this is no way to look for a job. last night i played catan with erin and corey and josh and camilia and laura. somehow the couples turned it into a partner game. corey was much more subtle than josh who traded camilia 7 woods for 1 sheep. it really wasn't fair. but it was fun to see josh, i hadn't seen him in awhile and it's good to know that he hasn't changed, infuriating as he can be, there's something adorable about him. that's really about it for the update, i guess i could gone on for a awhile about how i'm tired of being single or very upset about the things i have to give up just so i can get a job at a big company or how frustrated i am that my room is a total disaster again after i just cleaned it up two days ago. but lucky for you, i'm just not motivated enough to type any more.

Emotion: bored
Description: non-descript t-shirt and shorts

ok, not having a job is no longer a fun rebelious thing. i'm bored, and all-though i do have tons of stuff i need to do, i don't feel like doing any of it. i really need to find a job, but i'm really going to have to decide what i want to do before I go out searching, otherwise i might as well just get a waitressing job. i'm sending in my delta application today. it would be fun i think, but i don't know how long it will be before i hear from them. They wanted my employment application for the last ten years. i wonder if i should have put that lemonade stand i had when i was ten. oh well, it's done now.
jill and joey came in yesterday, we had a blast. we taught joey how to play Catan and went to dinner at Chewy's with a bunch of people. Tim and Rich did not call me to go see scooby doo, and i would be very upset, but i'm betting they didn't go see it because Tim has the game cube for 24 hours so he can get competitive at SSXtricky, and i bet he didn't want to give up the three hours it would take to go see a movie. boys.

I drove back from Conroe this morning at 8 o'clock, practically falling asleep the whole way. We stayed up until the wee hours partying after Jennifer's wedding. The wedding over all was fun. Barbara and I had to sit on one of the sides so I couldn't see Jennifer's face at all. Actually the only thing I could see was the back of John Jenkins' tux. But even with my restricted view it was a beautiful ceremony and the reception was perfect, well almost perfect, I’ve decided if I ever get married the DJ will not have an applause track that over powers the real applause, but I definitely want to have Rose petals instead of rice at the end. It was a great weekend over all, I got to catch up with Jill and dress up and see one of my first friends in college get married. She seemed so happy. I guess it's begun my friends are going to get married. It's so bittersweet. I guess a bit more bitter than sweet at the moment because I'm so single. Not that I’m complaining, I’m really loving being single, it was just hard seeing all the couples dancing at the wedding and not having anyone to dance with. but then if I was still with Barrett I wouldn't have had anyone to dance with anyways. this is better at least there's a chance now that someone will ask me to dance. look at me, I’m such the little optimist. and now I'm off to see Star Wars with my dad.
