you had me you lost me you're wasted you cost me I don't want you here messing with my mind I've realized in time that my eyes are not blind

I did not need to wake up to the following yesterday morning:
f**91** (12:22:31 AM): I was expecting you to be harsh today ... but good lord not that harsh wtf?! Why so rude? I don't freaking understand, I drove out of my way to bring you your book. [sic]
I never responded to him...I couldn't say anything that I thought of without making myself look really bad. Everything that came to mind was going to make me look like a gigantic b****. So I just didn't respond to him. I mean, what was I supposed to do?

Obviously, he thinks he did me favor...but why does he think flaunting his new girlfriend in front of me would be something that I could handle? Especially when he ended our [three year] relationship over the telephone... I realize to him, none of it meant anything...but that doesn't mean that I've been able to turn off my emotions and feelings so quickly as well. ::sigh:: I just wish that I was able to understand what changed him so drastically...and why... But then again, it's probably for the best that I don't understand him.

Related, but not related...I've finally figured out what to do with all the things that are left over from that relationship as reminders. The Nintendo ds lite, for sure, I'm either going to trade-in at GameStop or sell on eBay since it was a suggestion on the channel 7 news Don't Waste Your Money segment...and then probably the same thing for all of the movies and two of the cds. I figure the majority of cds, I can just either let someone who wants them have them or I can do something really cathartic, like break them. But, I'll probably just give a majority of the items to the Salvation Army...or a women/children's shelter if I can find one around here and they'll take it. Since I think the Salvation Army store is ridiculously overpriced for what it's supposed to be. I think the SA does good, but I don't understand how 'down on their luck' people are supposed to be able to afford the stuff in the SA store. Anyway...done ranting.

But, oh, yeah...I brought this up because Monday night, when I was over my friend's house talking to her, she said that we were going to get rid of the reminders to help me move on. So...I've made a decision. I figured, I might as well make some profit. Originally, I thought that the ex should have been the one to sell the stuff, if at all, but now I don't care since he bought it for me and it's mine to do what I want with it. It's not like he gave me back what I bought for him...true he offered, and I refused it by telling him, I would "just throw it out anyway." Okay...I'm done...ciao!!

Happy New Year!! Be safe tonight!!

was it really worth it was she everything that you were looking for feel like a man I hope you know that you can't come back cuz all we had is broken

My horoscope from Cosmo for today says...
Libra - If you happen to get thrown an emotional curveball, caring Venus says that a guy pal's advice might help you to understand what happened so that you can fight back.
Umm, seriously...when I first saw that this morning, I didn't really think anything of it. I just kinda figured, meh...it's just a horoscope. But, oh my god...I didn't expect what happened when I went to go get my book from my a**hole of an exboyfriend. Sorry, but I've given up trying to be neutral when referring to him. Obviously, he doesn't care if he makes me look bad, making himself look bad in the process, so why should I continue to try and be a good person? (Please don't answer that, I know the answer to my question) Okay...so I just didn't go to a guy friend for help...

It's just that...I half expected him to bring someone with him when he gave me my book back this evening...but...I didn't expect to see the girl he cheated on me with. And, no, I don't have any actual proof that he cheated on me...but the way he acted, the things he said to me, how quickly he jumped into a relationship with her, how quick he was to accuse me of cheating, it all says that he was cheating on me. ::sigh:: But...thankfully, this chapter of my life is over. I never have to speak to him again. I can delete him from my phone, from my email contacts...from everything. The hard part is going to be removing him from my consciousness...

After seeing him (and his girlfriend, and the two other friends he brought with him; it looked as though he was on a double date with his a**hole best friend and his girlfriend, but I'm not 100% sure because when I saw that he had two girls with him to bring me my book, I felt like I was going to cry and just wanted out of there) this evening, I was [understandably] upset...but I really didn't feel like I could talk to my mom. And this really wasn't something that I wanted to talk to my daddy about (even my daddy before his accident). So, I called my good friend...thankfully, she put up with me...hopefully, I didn't keep her up too late. But I appreciate her helping me feel better...even if I didn't really say anything much about what happened.

I don't know...it just sucks that the ex and all of his friends live on the East Side, yet he felt the need to flaunt his new girlfriend in front of me? Why? Just to get a reaction out of me? Obviously, he got what he wanted since I pretty much left without a word (I at least said 'thanks' or 'thank you' when he handed my book to me) and walked as quickly as I could to my car.

past the point of no return no backward glances our games of make-believe are at an end

Today I hung out with my daddy for the afternoon. It was nice since I haven't really spent any time with him in a little while. We went out to Red Robin for lunch and then later, my dad, my 20 y/o brother and I went to see Seven Pounds at the movie theatre. It was a really good movie. It's pretty sad...but it's really good. I suggest going and seeing it. But not if you're in the mood to see a 'feel good' movie.

Also...last night, I finally got this. Well...more like, I finally got what is mentioned there. So what if that makes some call me a 'loser' or whatever. I don't care. ::shrugs:: I like Britney Spears. She's a not-so guilty pleasure when it comes to music. Now am I going to pay whatever ridiculous price is asked for her concert tix? Probably not...I'm a broke college student. Plus, I don't really want to pay to watch a lip synch performance. The free one during lunch in high school was enough for me for those four years, since that was always highly amusing. Gotta love Spirit Week.

And...just out of curiosity, if you borrow something from someone, would you expect him/her to come to you to get it back? Or would you take it back to him/her? This is under the assumption, that s/he has no reason to be coming to your house, or to be near your house.

conversations with you kept me up tonight I've been so waiting for this contradictions are all I have or is it you I've lost all confidence

::sigh:: Yesterday, wasn't a bad a Christmas, but it wasn't the best of Christmases either. It hit me pretty hard that I'm single again after three years in a relationship...even if it was a toxic one.

My family was having a conversation about comedians for some reason, I don't remember how we got on the topic, but anyway, somebody mentioned George Carlin. So I was going to go get my When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops book from my room, but then I realized that the ex still had it...I was doing all right with the whole ignoring his existence thing, so having to contact him to get my book back wasn't something I was looking forward to. Especially since during the three years I was with him, more than once (at least I think it was more than once, I might be wrong) he made it seem like he was proud of the fact that he'd borrowed stuff from people that he now immensely disliked and planned on never giving it back because he liked the object in question. And since both my book and I fall into those categories, you can see why I wasn't all that keen to ask him about it. And...right away he told me that he'd returned it to me...but seriously, now, if I'd had the book in my room, I would not have asked him about it. Trust me, he's the last person I want to talk to. Especially on Christmas.


(this is from the beginning of the book)

Anyway...other reasons this wasn't the best Christmas, were simply because everyone kind of seemed crabby. Possibly that had to with my 11 y/o brother was still in little kid mode and woke us all up pretty early due to his excitement for Christmas and presents. Oh, well...it's not going to last forever...I should let him enjoy it while he can. Right?

I'm thinking about getting this camera. The ex said that he was going to get it for my birthday this year...I'm so glad that he did not. Because if he had...I'm pretty sure in my anger, I would have done something really stupid like smash it into pieces. Seriously...why would he have bought me a $160 camera for my birthday anyway, knowing full well that he was going to end our relationship? I knew, well had a really strong feeling, that he was planning something like that or cheating on me, that was my reasoning for telling him that I didn't really want anything and he could get me whatever he thought was best (probably why he didn't get anything at first, haha). Umm, okay...now that I've b****ed, when I didn't mean to...

Oh, yeah...and I don't feel like doing a weekly round-up this week...next week. My throat is sore...I have a headache...and my jaw is tense...I think I'm just sick. That's probably why this ended up a lot more negative than I had intended it to be. Sorry.

Hope everyone had a happy Christmas and enjoyed their holiday!!

it came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold

Merry Christmas, My Friend
by LCpl James M Schmidt, USMC, 1986

‘Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney, with presents to give and to see just who in this home did live. As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see: no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand. On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land. With medals and badges, awards of all kind, a sobering thought soon came to my mind. For this house was different, unlike any I'd seen. This was the home of a U.S. Marine. I'd heard stories about them, I had to see more, so I walked down the hall and pushed open the door. And there he lay sleeping; silent, alone, curled up on the floor in his one bedroom home. He seemed so gentle, his face so serene, not how I pictured a U.S. Marine. Was this the hero, of whom I’d just read? Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed?

His head was clean-shaven, his weathered face tan. I soon understood, this was more than a man. For I realized the families that I saw that night, owed their lives to these men, who were willing to fight. Soon around the nation, the children would play and grown-ups would celebrate on a bright Christmas day. They all enjoyed freedom each month and all year because of Marines like this one lying here. I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone on a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home. Just the very thought brought a tear to my eye. I dropped to my knees and I started to cry.

He must have awoken, for I heard a rough voice, "Santa, don't cry, this life is my choice I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more. My life is my God, my country, my Corps."

With that he rolled over, drifted off into sleep. I couldn't control it, I continued to weep. I watched him for hours, so silent and still. I noticed he shivered from the cold night's chill. So I took off my jacket, the one made of red and covered this Marine from his toes to his head. Then I put on his T-shirt of scarlet and gold with an eagle, globe and anchor emblazoned so bold. And although it barely fit me, I began to swell with pride, and for one shining moment, I was Marine Corps deep inside.

I didn't want to leave him so quiet in the night, this guardian of honor so willing to fight. But half asleep he rolled over, and in a voice clean and pure, said "Carry on, Santa, it's Christmas Day, all secure."

One look at my watch and I knew he was right, Merry Christmas my friend, Semper Fi and goodnight.

I guess you kept me around to have and eat your cake and I know you’re somewhere laughing in your head 'bout how you kept me hidden from the truth

So...yesterday was the ex's father's birthday...and I'd thought about sending his dad an email to say "happy birthday." But I was worried that if I did, then he'd say something to his son...and then I'd get a phone call or something telling me to stay out of his life. Especially since the last time that I talked to the ex, he told me that everyone in his life thinks that I'm a b**** and always has. If that's true, then, yeah, telling his dad "happy birthday" would've been a bad idea. But I always got the impression from his father that he didn't pretend to like someone...so, I wasn't worried that he'd be mad at me for being nice to him. It was just...I was worried about a possible reaction from his son. ::sigh:: Oh, well...

Anyway...tomorrow is Christmas Eve...but I never finished my shopping. Oh,well...just means that I didn't get presents for three of my siblings, only for the younger two. But honestly, I have no clue what to get my 15 y/o brother...the kid is weird. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love him and all...but he's one weird person. And my sister, she just buys whatever she wants...so it's hard to buy for her, too. So, yeah... Plus, my grandma doesn't like it when we buy her gifts...she'd rather we spent our money on ourselves or saved it. That's why I didn't get anything for her. But I always make sure that I help her out with whatever I can when I'm there on Christmas Eve.

Which reminds me...does anyone have any special holiday traditions? In my family, it's totally the celebrating on Christmas Eve...and the lasagna (my paternal grandma's family is Italian). But, I cannot eat lasagna. ::shudder:: It has nothing to do with the way it tastes...it all about the way that it looks. If I could get over the appearance of lasagna, then I would probably eat it...since I think it tastes fine.

Anyway...hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!! Merry Christmas, everyone!!

on the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be I could be a super model or Norman Mailer & you wouldn't know the difference or would you

[edited 12:03a 12/23/08] edits are in blue

Yay me!! I have a 2.16 g.p.a. this semester...a full point lower than my previous lowest g.p.a ever (I got that my freshman year of high school, and my parents didn't seem to care that I failed a class either). ::sigh:: But at least, my financial aid is safe. For now anyway... Apparently, I forgot about my g.p.a. last semester...my previous lowest g.p.a. It wasn't a full point higher, but it's pretty close to what I got this semester...thanks to the two Cs I received.

And, yay me (again)!! I have pretty much all of my Christmas shopping done, or at least, I have it as done as I'm gonna get it. It's a 'yay me' because I only started Saturday night. Remember, Christmas is on Thursday?

And also, last night, I made some gingerbread. Mmm mmm!!! I heart gingerbread. Especially when it's warm and has whipped cream on it. Yummy!!

Today, I watched the girls for four hours...it was the most boring four hours of my life. I was supposed to take them to their mom's house so they could pack up their stuff and take them to the library. Yeah, didn't take 'em to the library because they wouldn't get their butts moving and get ready to go anywhere. So, I only took them to their mom's house...and it didn't really seem like they did what they were supposed to. To be fair, the 8 y/o's stuff was pretty much packed already by her mom for her. But seriously, if I'd known that they weren't going to be ready when I got there, I would not have left my stuff in the car and been bored to tears (okay, obviously, not actual tears) for nearly three hours (it's like 10 degrees outside, I wasn't going back outside just to get my book).

it's a bad day it's a train ride it's a bad day you're my medicine it's a snow day it's a full moon it's a snow day

Ugh...it's a snow day. Do you know how I learned that? From an automated phone call from the district...that's what I get for being on my brothers' emergency contact lists. Oh, and the phone call was at 6:25a. Yeah, that was so not cool. I was asleep...and then startled awake by my phone and since it wasn't a name on the caller id, just a number, I answered it. So...I've been awake on and off since then. It sucks. But anyway...

Here's the weekly round-up... (and on-time, too!!)
.:. Wow...are you kidding me? Only 3.6" and it was called a snow day? C'mon now people...we had to get 7.9" today to get our first snow day of the season.
.:. What a reassuring thing to hear from the pilot of your flight: "I'm not qualified to land the plane."
.:. How insensitive...Santa got a parking ticket (he was handing out toys)!!
.:. What would you give up over giving up internet access? Hint: it's a lot more carnal than some would think.
.:. Yay!! At least one of the last things that Bush does as president of the U.S. is a good thing for the country's economy.
.:. Hooray for Secret Santas!!
.:. A gallery of Christmas trees...I prefer a fake tree though, doesn't trigger my allergies then.
.:. Holiday light displays (the last one is the best!)...I prefer the light display just off of 12 Mile at about Washington in Royal Oak.
.:. Umm...why is there such an obsession with virtual bands? ::shakes head:: I don't get it...
.:. Supposedly, these are the 8 best tech things to buy this holiday season...I liked the Blackberry on the list (the ex has [had?] it), but didn't see what the big deal was about the rest of the list...
.:. And then there are the top 11 tech stocking stuffers... I must admit, the chargepod thingy is pretty cool (slide #7 of 13)...but I want the Target gift card featured should anyone be willing to buy me one (slide #10 of 13)...
.:. Lol, now this is just amusing...a hot pink keyboard for blondes.

And here are few things to amuse from Overheard in New York...

Come On--We New Yorkers Have Rules
Crazy 20-something woman, screaming into cell: But where have you been? (sobs) I've been waiting for you. Where are you? (screaming louder) It's been hours, where are you? Where are you? How could you do this to me? Where are you?
(everyone on sidewalk turns around as she passes)
Man: It is way too early for that.
Woman: Yeah, that's the kind of call you make at 3 am, when you're drunk.
-- Taxi Line, Penn Station

Yet a Little Bit Reptar, at the Same Time.
Girl #1: You remember on that cartoon Rugrats there was that monster named Reptar?
Girl #2: Yeah.
Girl #1: I had a dream last night where I was trying to replace the word "cool" with "Reptar".
Girl #2: That's strange.
Girl #1: Yes, yes it is.

a change would do you good "hello it's me I'm not at home if you'd like to reach me leave me alone" a change would do you good

Okay, so I signed in to my MySpace this morning and noticed that I had less friends than yesterday (it's easy to notice a different in my friends count because aside from a few celebrities and organizations, the people in my friends list are people that I know in real life only, same thing with Facebook)...so I looked at who all of my friends were to see if I could see who was no longer my friend, and noticed that the ex had deleted me from his friends list. Which isn't that big of a deal, but what I don't understand is why after nearly two months he finally did that, coupled with blocking me on AIM yesterday afternoon. The only reason that I know he blocked me and wasn't just signed off, was that I was also signed on with a different screenname, and when he "signed off" yesterday in the one Buddy List, he stayed signed on in the other Buddy List. It's not like I've been doing anything to harass him...if anything, I've been ignoring him and leaving him alone as he would like. So I don't understand him and his strange behavior. But then this morning, he was no longer blocking me...apparently, I was no longer a threat?

::shrugs:: I guess that I shouldn't worry about it because like I said before (ad nauseam), he's over me and I should be over him and everything that was. And every day, I can see that I've made progress. I'm not perfect yet...but I'm getting there. Things don't hurt me as much anymore. Yeah, I still get stupid urges to cry at dumb things...but even those are getting farther and farther apart. I can't even remember the last time I cried over something to do with that failed relationship.

Now, crying over, or at least getting a little teary-eyed, something meaningful, like the Breaking & Entering Christmas Wishes on Mojo in the Morning on Channel 955...that's getting to be nearly a five days a week thing. Which was a bit of a hassle on school days, let me tell ya. I'd be all ready for school...or at least, I'd be in the process of putting my make-up on, and then they'd either do the B&E X-mas or they'd replay the one from that morning and I'd get teary-eyed and have to fix my mascara before it ran down my face. Thankfully, I'm just laying in bed listening this week when they do the replay, so no make-up worries.

Okay...shower time now...ciao dahling!!

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

it's strange to think the songs we used to sing the smiles the flowers everything is gone yesterday I found out about you

School sucks. And because of my most horrible g.p.a. (ever!!), I'm probably going to be on academic probation next semester. ::sigh:: I needed to have a 2.0 g.p.a. (at least) this semester to maintain my financial aid...and so far, I have a 1.8something...it all depends on how I did in my bioethics class (which that grade still has not been posted ::sigh::). Ugh...seriously, this was the worst semester to date. Thank god it's over. Finally.

But...next semester won't be much better...because I have:

.:. MAT 2020 Calc II - M 8:30-9:25a
.:. MAT 2020 Calc II - T 8:30-9:25a
.:. MAT 2020 Calc II - W 8:30-9:25a
.:. MAT 2020 Calc II - F 8:30-9:25a

.:. BIO 2600 Cell Bio - T 9:35-11:00a
.:. BIO 2600 Cell Bio - Th 9:35-11:00a

.:. CHM 1240 Organic Chem I (again, grr! ) - M 10:40-11:35a
.:. CHM 1240 Orgo I - W 10:40-11:35a
.:. CHM 1240 Orgo I - F 10:40-11:35a
.:. CHM 1240 Orgo I - Th 11:45a-12:40p
.:. CHM 1250 Orgo I Lab (again, grr! ) - T 3:00-3:55p
.:. CHM 1250 Orgo I Lab - Th 3:00-6:00p

Yeah...doesn't that look like so much fun? (Can't you sense the sarcasm?) At least, I'm out of school by noon 3 out of the 5 days...of course, for that to happen, I had to be at school by 8:30a... Oh, joy...morning rush hour traffic into Detroit...someone shoot me now. At least, I'm guessing it's going to be worse, since the days I had to be in an hour later, it was still pretty bad...so I can't see how it's going to be any better an hour earlier. Especially early in the semester. Y'know, January? snow? ice? it's Michigan, people's IQs tend to drop about 10-20 points when there is snow on the ground and they have to drive.

boy you better pray we don't seek you out no you better hope we might lose control no

Okay...so a few months ago when I said the blonde, tan look so wasn't me, but that dark haired and fair is...well, obviously, I'm back to the Snow White look. Although, to be honest, when I have darker hair, I think I look more like the human form of Ursula (unfortunately, I could only find a seriously evil looking picture of her) from The Little Mermaid. Yes, I did just compare myself to the evil sea witch in a children's fairy tale. But she didn't look that scarily evil in the movie...at least, I don't ever remember being scared of her as a kid...and I saw the movie for the first time when I was about 4 y/o...

But, I'm going to be using the Perfect 10 Ginger in a Snap sometime very soon because I so very miss being a redhead. Like, probably tomorrow...

Oh!, and I know why my friend called me on Thursday now...but since I now know what the reasoning behind her phone call was, I can't really say anything because it's not something that I feel comfortable telling the world. Sorry about that. Although, I may answer if asked about it...just don't get your hopes up.

I need to go run some errands today...but because it's such a dreary day, I don't feel like. I need some new gloves because mine have finally had it. They're only like six or seven years old, so it's reasonable that my leather gloves finally fell apart after getting scraped on concrete so many times. Plus, on Monday I need to go to the school bookstore and find out what is the required text for my calc II class so that I can get it in time for the semester to start. ::sigh:: Academically, it's looking like next semester is going to give this semester a run for "worst semester ever."

Last night, well, I guess technically it was this morning, because I woke up to it, I had the strangest dream. It was about the ex, and he was confusing me so much. Saying things to me as though he'd never broken up with me, but it was obvious that we weren't together by the way that I was acting and the way that my 20 y/o brother was acting (really overprotective of me). I have no idea what to think of it, especially since just as the ex was trying to get me to follow him outside [in my dream], like literally pulling me out the door with him as I refused, I woke up. I was so confused. Honestly, I don't want to get back together with him...not the way things ended. It would be the biggest mistake of my life to do that. And the only way that I'm going to talk to him again, would be to tell him "happy birthday," but that's still almost two months away. ::sigh:: I don't know...

Anyway...have a great day!!

Friday, December 12, 2008

I know you gotta clue what you're doing you can play brand new to all the other chicks out here but I know what you are what you are baby

***Okay, okay...so I didn't post this on the "right" day...I didn't even do it a day late like I usually do...but, hey, better late than never, right? Four days after the fact is still good...

Here's the weekly round-up of what I found interesting this week:
.:. Wow...talk about an honest, good person...
.:. Aww, how sweet is that? And a happy ending, too!! Yay for puppies!!
.:. Soo...just how was it was determined that 2008 would be the one second longer year?
.:. Well...isn't that a bleak outlook...only 1 in 50 states in the U.S.A. passes the affordability test. No, duh...recently WSU emailed current students/staff/faculty to say that enrollment was down and something else, but not to worry...yeah, it sounded worrisome to me...
.:. And then there are the lyin', cheatin' students...but don't worry, they don't see anything wrong with their personal ethics/morals. Anyone else see something wrong with that?
.:. Umm, so I attempted to figure out where MI falls on the corruption scale...but it was too confusing...but, hey, ND is top of the list.
.:. Umm, yeah...dude, that just totally sucks...and is totally embarrassing...
.:. Oh em gee...people, c'mon, why? It's just a cat...
.:. Aww, poor little rhesus monkey...
.:. Aww, poor fat puppy...luckily he was an obese puppy dog though, he would've died otherwise...
.:. Umm, yeah...don't get me wrong, I love books as much as anyone else...but over 100 grand?
.:. Ickgh ::shudder:: Why? What was the appeal? Those things don't have a taste, I mean, not other than paper anyway...
.:. Holy s***, that's insane...how'd they manage to get away with stealing $100 million in diamonds?!?
.:. Not that I agree with the views of the man, but this is pretty interesting...
.:. Haha, what an unfortunate way to get caught...vomited the evidence in front of the cops.
.:. Umm...was what this mother did really legal?
.:. Well, that's comforting.
.:. So...what do you think he did for his "nagging" wife?
.:. Yeah, it doesn't look good for the 911 dispatcher...hopefully, things are looking up for the family...
.:. Okay, so...I've thought of doing something vindictive in nature...but the difference is I didn't do anything, crazy pyro ex-girlfriend.

And now for some amusement from Overheard in New York...

The Voters Have Spoken
Guy: Want to come back to my place?
Girl: I thought you had a girlfriend.
Guy: I told you, I just haven't broken up with her yet!
Girl: Fine, but you still have a girlfriend.

so watch me strike a match on all my wasted time as far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn

Okay, before anyone says anything like 'obsessing is bad and unhealthy, you need to move on,' there is a valid reason for what I was doing.

I checked the ex's flickr* this morning and saw that he'd changed/updated it. Which isn't a big deal. I guess, I just didn't expect to see his new girlfriend on there. And, I don't know...I just don't think she's pretty. I mean, she's not an unattractive girl...but maybe because I'm biased, I feel even worse now because I think I'm prettier than the girl he left me for. But my valid reason for checking his stupid flickr was that he used to have pictures of my younger brother(s) on there and because I didn't really want to talk to him, I didn't ask him to remove them. And the last time I looked to see if the pictures were still on there was 2-3 weeks ago, maybe even longer. So, see? I wasn't obsessing. But now that I'm trying to prove that I wasn't, it kinda seems like I was. ::sigh:: Oh, well...

Anyway...today is my last day of the semester. I have my bio final in about two hours, and then...I'm done!! YAY!! Also, I got a 25/30 on my bioethics final, which means I got a 100% on it. No, I did not do the math incorrectly, there were 5 extra credit points on it...I have until Sunday to do the revisions for my essay that I got wrong, too. So I may end up with a 29/30 (I got a fill-in-the-blank wrong).

*I was going to put a link to the flickr page, but I don't know if it'd be okay with him...so if ya know him, it shouldn't be that hard to find it...just use his screenname

maybe I'll sleep when I am dead but now it's like the night is taking sides all the worries that occupy the back of my mind

Yay!! Tomorrow is officially my last day of the semester. Thank god. I'm so ready to be done. This semester sucked. Both academically and personally.

For the most part, I think/feel that everything happens for a reason...even if I think that the reason sucks or whatever happened sucks. But a couple of weeks ago, I started thinking that it would be pretty cool if the mind erasing that's done in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was really possible...then I just might go for it... Y'know? Only I don't think that I'd end up trying to stop it like Jim Carrey ended up trying to do. At least, I think that's how the movie went. I only saw it once and didn't like it.

On an unrelated note, I was thinking that since I previously had another blog, vérité sans peur, (but accidentally deleted because I'm awesome like that) and almost everything in it was the same as the stuff in my MySpace blog, maybe I would just post all of those previous entries on here. But then that's a lot of editing to do. I don't know what to do. Meh...

And then earlier this afternoon, my friend called me but because I was at work and helping the younger girl with her homework I had to ask my friend if I could call her back. But as I was asking her, she started to ask me something about a picture...and when I called her back, she didn't answer...so now, I'm super curious as to what she was calling me for. Especially since she hasn't called me back yet. Ugh...I hate it when I get my curiosity piqued but can't get an answer when I want one.

Okay...well, this was kind of a random post today, but, yeah...my thoughts were all over the place. I don't know, I'm rambling now...so ciao!!

come on, get higher, loosen my lips faith and desire and the swing of your hips just pull me down hard and drown me in love


My horoscope from Cosmo for today says...
Libra - Under the touchy Moon you might be too sensitive for your own good today. Consider hitting the movie theater and let Daniel Craig take you away.
Umm...yeah, if I actually had time to go to the movies, that would have been an awesome horoscope to make come true...but sadly, I had class from 9:35a to 7:20p. And I was at WSU for nearly that whole time today. It sucked. I left my house at noon for my second and third classes of the day and was gone for seven hours. Now I realize that there are people who have longer, and more stressful, days, but I was also at school earlier in the day for half an hour. But the trip home sucked due to the semi that overturned and spilled corrosive material causing the closing of I-75 between McNichols and the Davison...and does anyone think that I knew how to get myself home when I was forced to get onto the westbound Davison? If you answered "no," then you are correct! Luckily, I was able to figure it out and got myself home all right.

Woohoo!! I got a check in the mail today! Okay, so it was only for $16.60, but still...I got compensated for my civic duty (otherwise known as jury duty). Which I never mentioned anything about how that went (even though I mentioned getting a letter for it). Obviously since I got paid, I was selected for a jury...but very quickly dismissed. I got lost on my way there (thanks to a big lack of street signs in Pontiac, grr!!)...and again on my way home I got lost. I seriously hope that I never get called for jury duty to the Oakland County Circuit Court again. Not because the experience was that bad, but because the stupid building was so hard to get to and then getting home was ridiculous. But anyway, I got out of it due to the following: my finals were starting on Monday (and there was no guarantee that jury deliberations would be done by the end of the day); I knew someone firsthand with drug troubles; a few of our family friends are cops. As soon as the questioning of the potential jurors was finished, the prosecutor said they'd like to excuse juror #158 (that was me!!). Yeah, as soon as my number was said and I was told that I was excused, I was outta there. And then at noon my name was one of the ones listed as able to go home because they were no longer needed.

Oh, yeah...I seriously think that the Oakland County sheriff's deputy in charge of the metal detector at the entrance hates his life and/or his job because I was calling him "Mr. Crabbypants" (but obviously, not to his face). When I first got there he sent me back out to my car to return my cell phone (when I was around the other people in the jury pool for the day, I saw other people with camera phones, so I was a little annoyed that I had to take my phone back out to my car) and then when I went through the metal detector my belt set it off. Normally, I just get waved through or if it's a big deal, I will get the wand waved over me. Nope, Mr. Crabbypants told me to take my belt off and when I told him that if I took my belt off, my pants would fall down, he told me 'oh, well, do it anyway.' As though I was saying my pants would fall down for the hell of it. Do you realize how hard it is to take a belt off with one hand while trying to hold your pants up with the other hand, but your other hand is also trying to hold your coat out of the way because it's below freezing outside? Yeah...I'm pretty sure I managed to show someone my panties while either taking my belt off or putting it back on. He was a big poopyhead.

Anyway...my orgo lecture professor approved my withdraw request. So no more chem 1240 for me!! Unfortunately, I'm stuck with chem 1250 (the lab portion), because I forgot that we couldn't withdraw after the second test and that was last Tuesday. Oh, well... But, I did my quiz essay revisions this evening for my bioethics class, so that's a big help. Now I just have to do well on my final, which is due by 7:20p on Friday. But as soon as I finish my bioethics final and my bio final on Friday, I'm done for the semester because I'm only going to orgo tomorrow morning to get my test and do the eval for my [crappy] professor. Now, to be honest, I don't think that my prof is a bad guy or even necessarily a bad teacher; I just think that he should stick to teaching the grad courses.

I think there was something else that I wanted to add...but now I can't remember what it was. ::shrugs:: Oh, well... It's bedtime anyway...night, y'all!!

ju-ju-ju-just dance wish I could shut my playboy mouth how'd I turn my shirt inside out? (inside out right)

Oh my f***ing God!! Why does someone, or why do multiple someones, keep calling bomb threats for the gen.lec. building at WSU? It's seriously annoying as all hell. Not to mention the fact that it's a crime punishable by...well, quite honestly, I don't know since my Google search was really, really unsuccessful. I couldn't find anything...but anyone monitoring my search is probably going to think that I was planning something really stupid now. Like I really needed that. ::sigh::

Anyway...twice today, three WSUPD officers interrupted my class. This morning, three WSUPD officers came into my orgo class (which I'm curently waiting on my professor to approve my withdraw) to ask a student to pack up his stuff and leave with them. We, meaning the rest of my class and I, have no idea what that was about. My teacher just went back to teaching after the kid left like nothing out of the ordinary had just happened...I was like, 'are you kidding me?' After I looked at my score on Blackboard, I decided to leave and go talk to an academic advisor about dropping the class. Unfortunately, I forgot about my orgo lab lecture professor saying that noone could withdraw from the class after the second test...so I'm going to be stuck with that failing grade on my transcripts. That's a bad thing because med schools average all grades from any attempts of the same course and that is the grade that they use, not the one the undergrad transcripts use (the most recent attempt).

And then the second time today that three WSUPD officers came into my class, was in the middle of my bio test. Yeah, that f***ing sucked and pissed off a lot of people, myself included. My professor was also pretty pissed off because now she has to get another test written and copied (not including the one she has to get done before Friday) so that we can take it on Wednesday and now we won't have any review before our [optional] final exam on Friday. Isn't that awesome? We're technically having three test days in a row. In. A. Row. And my teacher doesn't re-use test questions, that's why we get to keep our tests afterwards. Oh, yeah, and we had a bomb threat on Friday that nearly cancelled class but because we had a test scheduled for today, our class was moved to another building with a lecture hall. We couldn't afford to miss lecture. The poor gen chem class, they had a test on Friday that got interrupted by the bomb threat.

Did I mention that I hate the idiots that keep calling in these false bomb threats? The bomb threat today was the third bomb threat called in for gen.lec. this semester. At least, the third one to close the building for the day anyway. I have no idea if there were others that didn't close the building down.

Okay...I'm done ranting now... Sorry for my outburst. Hope the rest of you had a less stressful day...

[12:01a: edited to add] And oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that the other day (Sunday afternoon maybe?), I added an iLike music player to the right side of my blog...I'm guessing I'll be changing it every once in a while. I don't know yet. I'd say use the rate thingy [to let me know 'yay' or 'nay']...but I keep getting an error message when I try to add those to my blog layout.

I’m trying to hold it together and it’s like I’m never better looks like I’m not getting better not getting better wait I’m coming undone

Post #300!!

Anyway...I don't know how much longer I can keep lying to myself. ::sigh:: I keep telling myself that I'm over him, that he's not important anymore, what he thinks of me doesn't matter, what he says to me won't affect me. And then he'll start talking to me again and say mean things and I get upset all over again. I'm so sick of being called a "b****." I'm not one. I don't understand why someone is so bent on thinking the absolute worst of me and has to point that out to me in the meanest way possible.

I don't understand why he keeps telling me things that make him sound like a liar. Why is telling me things that he knows are going to hurt me so much fun for him? I just don't get it. And if I was so horrible, and everyone in his life hated me...then why did he stick around so long? Just to use me and take advantage of me? Was that fun for him?

I wish that when my dad got hurt, the ex had never come up to the hospital that day. Because every time that I got upset about my dad being hurt, he would get mad at me for it. I mean, now I realize it was because he didn't care about me anymore. But still, that hurt at the time...and it still kind of does... I just wish that I'd had the courage to end our relationship when I first wanted to...I just wish that I hadn't been so stupid and blinded and controlled.

Most of all...I wish that I was able to move on and heal. I wish for my benefit that I wasn't so stuck. I hate the way that I feel.

Umm, yeah...if you couldn't tell from the tone of the post, I saw the ex today...and it didn't go very well.

some days I'm a super b**** up to my old tricks but it won't last forever next day I'm your super girl out to save the world & it keeps gettin' better

Today was the last day of orgo lab...and the last day of orgo quiz class. Woohoo!! I'm so looking forward to the end of the semester. I seriously hate that class. I just plain suck at chem. Anyway...all we had to do was check out of orgo lab today, so I was out in ten minutes. That was awesome.

Last night, my mom did my hair for me. It was supposed to be light neutral blonde...apparently, when using something approximately three shades darker than my current hair color and leaving it on for the maximum time length (hey, I had to watch the ending of the Victoria's Secret fashion show on CBS), my hair will turn out a medium brown color. It looks pretty and I like it...but it's so not what is said on the box. But since my hair was so light to begin with, I knew that changing my hair color was going to be a two step process, so I used a demi-permanent color (washes out in approx. 28 shampoo(e)s). So...after I wash my hair a couple of times, it'll lighten up a little. But I plan on either using an auburn permanent color or a darker brown permanent color in the next couple of weeks anyway.

Also, I want to go to the 36th Annual Noel Night on Saturday...but I want people to go with me. Like more people than just my younger brother(s) who seem to be willing to go to anything.

I don't want to care or be here at all I don't want to crash I don't want to burn I won't want to forget what I've learned

So...because I don't really have any entries on my MySpace blog, but I didn't want to completely lose them either, I copied and pasted pretty much the whole thing onto a Word document. But I was putting the most recent couple of posts into the document...and ran across the following:
September 7, 2005 – Wednesday
5:34 PM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos
One More Sad Song
Current mood: crushed
So...the other night some really unhappy thoughts all just came flooding back into my head. I attempted to deal with it...all I accomplished was some continuous water flow. I thought that I had dealt with it, I thought that I was finally able to get over it, I thought...wrong. I thought that I was able to be happy, and not be plagued by the horrible feelings of inadequacy attributed with a particular person. Why is it that one person can affect another so adversely? It sucks majorly if you ask me. I keep putting a happy face on for the world to see...but...once again, I'm just playing a part to please others. And failing at that. I was looking through some of my old journal entries because I figured I was depressed and why shouldn't I add in stronger feelings of sadness and anger that those entries are able to stir in me...probably not the best way for me to cheer up. Oh well.
I was never good enough for...let's call this person Morgan. But anyway, I was never good enough for Morgan, I wasn't outgoing enough, I wasn't shy enough, I wasn't smart enough, I wasn't dumb enough. Morgan felt it pertinent to tell me to end my existence. I can't really say anything more about this because then there are a few people that would be able to figure out who I am talking about.


Do you see the little girl inside?
So miniscule and frightened
So full of self-doubt and loathing
So insignificant to the world
So vulnerable
Do you see the little girl inside?
She wants guidance
Needs to be loved
Needs to be needed

Some random thing I found in my journal...was I talking about me? I don't even know who I am anymore.
Currently listening:
In The Zone
By Britney Spears
Release date: By 18 November, 2003

This was originally written about my former stepmom...but as I reread what was written, it made me think about how I've been feeling lately (and pretty much how the ex made me feel). It kinda sucks to see that a second person was able to negatively affect me so. But...I'm going to get past all of that...eventually anyway.

she’s gonna step outside uncover her eyes who knew she could feel so alive her M.O.’s changed she don’t wanna behave ain’t it good to be a brave girl

So...this was supposed to be what I wrote about back on Monday, but then my plans changed.

Anyway...Wednesday and Saturday nights, I went out with some friends. I already said most of what I wanted to about Wednesday night. All that's really left is that I was kinda weirded out by one of my friends when he was talking to me. At the time, I didn't really think anything of it...but later, after I got home, I was a bit weirded out because I didn't know how he knew anything. It was more the way that he asked me the questions he asked (the wording of the questions) than anything else. But I just didn't know how he knew so much, it's not like I really put anything on MySpace or Facebook. And then the second thing that he asked me, made me question something all over again.

Then, again, on Saturday night, someone was asking my friend about me. Now I was even more weirded out by this person knowing my business than I was by the person knowing (and asking questions) on Wednesday night. My biggest reason for being weirded out was that he and I don't even talk to one another and probably haven't in over a year, maybe even two years.

I guess, maybe I should clarify what I'm saying in the previous two paragraphs. People were asking about me and the ex and whether or not we were still together. I didn't feel like having the whole world know my business, so that's why I never really put anything too obvious on MySpace and I never put anything on Facebook at all about it. So, yeah...it's just weirding me out that so many people seem to know just what's going on in my personal life, and I don't even know how many people that is.

Anyway...Saturday night, my friend's boyfriend called one of his friends to come join us at the place we were at. His friend is pretty cute, plus he was a nice guy. And it turns out, my friend's boyfriend isn't a bad guy after all (I never really had a chance to talk to the guy before, so I didn't know much about him)...it seems like he's a good match for my friend. She deserves that...she's dated too many losers in the past. Although, obviously, my judgement is no better than hers. But lately, she's trying really hard to find me a new guy. I'm not quite sure why...but it's appreciated. She's a good person and a good friend.

Okay...my head is killing me (combination of lack of sleep last night and I stupidly quit taking my Topamax in case of my consumption of alcohol)...so I need to get to bed. Besides, it's nearly 1:00a...definitely bedtime. I was so enjoying the lack of migraines...having one today for the last nine hours is such a joy. Night!!

I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots (call the shots) I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot when I put on a show...

Yay!! Today is December 2nd...d'you know what that means? I get to go out and get this. Really though, I probably won't get it this week or even next week. It'll probably have to wait until after Christmas. Oh, well...

I'm thinking about changing my hair color. I'm just not sure how to go about doing it. I'm sick of the really light blonde...especially since I originally only chose it because of a dumb boy. To change my hair is going to be a two step process unless I only want to darken it about one shade, if that. Isn't that fun?

Anyway, I totally bombed the orgo lab test this morning. I'm hoping that I can drop the class without it affecting my financial aid...because otherwise it's going to seriously affect my final grade in the course (the two grades are averaged if the first time isn't dropped). ::sigh:: This is so not a good semester...

Monday, December 1, 2008

watch me now and I'll be someone new my heart will be unbroken it will open up for everyone but you

::sigh:: Once again, it seems like every time that I think I'm okay...somethin' happens to set me off all over again. And this time it was a complete stranger who happened to stumble upon my blog through Google.

Here was the portion of his comment that really made think about what an idiot I was:
I think you deserve someone present and not give'n the brushoff & "drama queen backoff" bit to finagle his way out of any real discussion as to what time it is regarding your relationship (which is sounding one sided). [sic]
And then after I published the comment (I have the comment moderation on, it's a control thing, what can I say?), I clicked the link that comes up to see the post that was commented on. Yeah...that was a really bad idea, because I, of course, read the post. And then proceeded to start crying because I knew then that he was avoiding me, yet he was lying to my face when I would ask him about it. The worst thing is that the stupid post is from just over two months before the relationship ended.

::sigh:: This is the second post for today now...and neither one is what I'd been planning on writing about. I just wish that something super happy would (unexpectedly) happen to me, and that is what caused me to change my preplanned post.

hush just stop there’s nothing you can do or say baby I’ve had enough I’m not your property as from today baby

First off, let me just say that I'm frustrated. So please don't take anything negative I say too seriously.

Ugh...what gives him the right to think that I should just drop everything to go meet him when and where he wants? I'm not his little plaything anymore, I don't have to do what he wants anymore. I have my own life and my own plans. It is not my fault that what I do with my free time doesn't line up well with what he wants. ::rolls eyes:: This morning, the ex asked me a question (that he should have looked up on his own before even talking to me since we're not even really on speaking terms anymore) and it kinda seemed like he got annoyed with my answers to the follow-up questions [he asked me]. But y'know what? For what he wants me to go meet him for, if it waits a couple hours later than what he wants or even another week, it's not a big deal. It's already been a while in the making for the dumb thing anyway. Besides, if he wants the money that badly, he can just go sell the stupid rings he bought for me while we were together. Obviously, they never meant anything to him (nevermind that the one ring never should have been taken away from me to begin with; the other one is debatable and I'm willing to go with either the majority or legality, if there is any). Although, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he already sold them.

And unrelated...but just as annoying, why do people keep saying things to me about my weight? Twice now, I've had very specific comments about much I weigh, or rather the lack of weight I seem to have. And then other people keep asking me if I've lost weight. I just wish that people would stop commenting on my weight. At least, the second person to make a very specific weight comment apologized and said that it was rude. But I told him that what he said wasn't rude (I honestly didn't think anything that he'd said to me was rude), it was just that I didn't understand why people keep saying I weigh so little.

Okay...I'm done ranting now...
