Happy Birthday, RL update, and pimpage!

2009-12-21T22:55:30Z

Happy belated Birthday to lorilann and Happy Birthday to perfectlystill !!!

and... here's my rl update for all of you still interested in my life.

[+] So the rest of my stay in California was very nice, hanging out with my uncles, drinking with my uncles, etc...

[-] The moment I got home on Wednesday, I had to turn around, get in my car and make the hour-long trip to Greeley for my MIP drug and alcohol awareness class. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it definitely is not my idea of fun...

[+] I've just been hanging out, watching tv and movies since I got home, a nice lazy break is just what I need.

[+] On the 30th, I'm heading south to camp for the staff reunion, I'm so excited to be back with my family!! I don't think I've been this excited for anything in a really long time. I'm really looking forward to Huevos on the fire and snuggling up with the camp dogs and some of Chris's delicious food. I'll let you know how it goes when I get home!

[-] I'm completely broke, no money at all. And I owe money to the bank, and I'm jobless. I guess it's time to branch out from starbucks and start looking for a job elsewhere. My mom is helping me out for now, but I'm going to have to pay her back eventually. I really want to work at camp this summer, but I'm afraid that when I come back, I won't be able to find a job again and that I won't be able to pay rent. I can't risk that, but I want to, God I really want to. I'm so conflicted and I just don't know what to do... advice friendies?

♔ ... the multi-fandom/holidays friending meme!

RL update & welcome!

2009-12-13T09:12:49Z

[+] I am done done done with my first semester of college. I took my last final on friday at 8am and I'm not quite sure how I did, I'm going to go to class way more often next semester. I have to stay on top of everything so if you guys (my loving f-list) wants to you know encourage me every once and a while, that would be awesome.

[+] I'm in fucking California right now! This is so epic, I am so so happy to be out of the sub-zero temperatures in Colorado. I mean i really don't care that it's raining and only like 60 degrees, it feels amazing, like wonderful, I'm back in my flip-flops and a light jacket, I really just love it, plus my uncles are awesome. They like to just hang out and watch TV like I do, so we get along really well, and my uncle lets me drink, so it's kinda nice to be able to do that. Also I get to go to a brunch tomorrow at the house of one of the gay men from Men Alive (The Orange County Gay Men's Choir that my uncles are a part of) which will be so much fun, gay men are ridiculously fun to hang out with, especially my uncle Steve. So California is just making me insanely happy.

[+] Just finished watching Taycob on SNL, it was pretty epic, the monologue was so so cute. I love that both of them are Taylor, it's just adorable. Also the Team Edward/Team Jacob sketch was so legit. I was laughing so so much. like really? really?? And yes, Taylor you do deserve an Oscar, for your abs of course.

[-] So my roommate's boyfriend came up to school after their huge fight to "make-up" he was ridiculously clingy and hovered over the computer when she was on it. She's very fed up with him, but she doesn't want to make things hard on herself by fighting. I feel like her pretending that nothing is wrong is going to make for lots more problems later, and he is a very controlling and manipulating boyfriend, which really makes me worry. I just don't know what to do, I love her so so much and I want to protect her.

[-] Ok, so it's about time for my USA shows to come back, I miss Psych, IPS, and Burn Notice so so so much, they've been gone for like way too long. OHHHH, and the way that the left IPS makes me so angry!!!! I won't spoil any of you, but honestly, I am really upset about it!

... and welcome to all my new friends, candygluepress, face_the_world_, epiclullaby, raaby_lilly, kristengilmore, everyheartbeat3, balcony_scene, cifan70, hpfan4life, shes_takingbets, manderinne, foldedcrane lizarina21, birdlet, and acoustics1220

Whatever Tickles My Fancy
Lets see, today there is an SVU marathon on today, it's definitely tickling my fancy, especially since Benson/Stabler is my epic OTP!

My Day, In Great Detail
So I woke up around 8 kinda fitfully sleeping, i drifted in and out of sleep listening to my mom talk to my uncles. Then I got up around 10, sat around, grabbed a cup of coffee, got out my computer and started facebooking and ljing, if that's a verb... Now I'm doing all of the above and watching the Law and Order: SVU More Than Partners marathon because I love love love Olivia and Elliot.

My Week, In Great Detail
OK, so. Last Saturday I slept in, slept off my mild hangover. Woke up around 11 and went to Brunch with Jessica and Kathryn, it was pretty lovely. Then Kathryn and I watched Family Guy until I left for home around 5. I went to a housewarming party and Kim & Sarah's, and I somehow got my mom to let me put some tequila in my drink... We went to Starbucks to visit the people that I used to work with. Went home, watched some SVU then went to bed. Got up nice and late on Sunday, made myself an absolutely delicious omelet, and watched some Disney channel. Then I left for school around 4. Drove to Greeley in the snow, and got in just in time to go have dinner with Kathryn. We studied for finals and then we happened to find out that her boyfriend Patrick has been hacking her facebook to spy on her. So we spent a lot of the night being upset with him. Then on Monday we just kinda hung out. I went to ARC thrift store at 5 and did 4 hours of community service which killed my feet. When I got back, Patrick was in our room, he appologized a ton and then decided that he had to come up to make up with Kathryn. We watched movies for a while. Tuesday I had my history final, which was awesome, then I went to Our Savior's to do some more community service with Wendy. Patrick had left and then came back up even though Kathryn didn't really want him to come back. Wednesday I did 10 hours of community service and then collapsed. Thursday I went back to Our Savior's to finish my community service. Then I missed my computer programming final, but Cory told me that it went well so I'm not worried. Then I went back to the church to finish up. Friday I got up and took my calc final which was horrible, my brain just was not functioning. I finished my English portfolio and Kathryn and I went to re-sell our books. When I turned in my English portfolio, Mr. "Bilbo-Baggins" patronized me about my attendence and I was like really? I don't care, I have the credits from High-School, it does not matter. So then we went to sell back books, but they only took one of them back and it was only worth 13.50. So then we had lunch at taco bell and went back to our room to pack. We packed and I left so that I could get home in time to get to the airport in time. We got to the airport fine and then went to security which was a nightmare. First my laptop had to go through the machine again, then my bag ad to be searched. Apparently they thought that my sea-salt was an explosive or something so they had to test it... Anyways, we got seats in the emergency exit row which means EXTRA LEG-ROOM! So it was a delightful flight, I watched Sectionals again and then started watching Stardust, I'll probably finish it on the flight back home. California is amazing! It's so nice to be out of the cold and into the warm! It may only be 60 degrees and raining, but after a week of subzero temperatures, it is amazing and warm. So now here I am today enjoying the time with my uncles.

This Month In Great Detail
Um, I don't really remember much about this past month other than watching new movies and SVU marathons with Kathryn, I love her so so much!

This Year In Great Detail
OK, so High school was very not so much fun, I mean I finished and that was cool, and I was in cupids and stuff, but honestly it was not something I would want to have to do again. Then working at camp was amazing, I really want to work there again this coming summer, but I need a steady job so that we can get a house at school next year. School is going well, I like the freedom, I just have to remember to balance the actual school work in, it can't always be fun and games. I'm really looking forward to next semester, it's going to be good.

hello!!!!

RENAME ME!

rl update, welcome new friends, thank yous, and getting to know meeeeee!

2009-12-07T08:25:20Z

[+] I went to a housewarming party on Saturday night, and I somehow convinced my mom to let me slip some tequila in my 7Up, so I was pretty fucking happy. My mom has openly told me that she doesn't want me to become an alcoholic, which I'm totally not, I just like the taste of alcohol, and I'm glad she was ok with it.

[-] I got back to school tonight, and my roommate found out that her boyfriend has been spying on her facebook, and he blocked guys that she ever had any romantic connection with. So half of my night was spent trying to calm her down, trying to calm her boyfriend down, and trying to make sure that no one exploded. It was really shitty because I was also really upset, and I hate seeing people that I love be upset, so that just made it worse for me. I really hope things get better soon because at the rate that things are going, it's bad.

Welcome to my new friends, emptyhanded09 , summer_fade , and sunni_sideup

RL update.

2009-12-02T08:08:23Z

So here it is, finally a rl update.

[+] My new roommate is absolutely amazing. We get along so well, it's just great. We decided that we are instant soulmates and BFF's, it's surreal how fantastic this is. We've been living together for two weeks now, and I don't think that I've ever been happier. I'm finally happy, and I'm honestly just relieved that everything is going so well.

[+] My Thanksgiving was actually really wonderful as well. We had soup supper, Holden Evening Prayer, and a pie-fest on Wednesday night at church. I absolutely love Holden Evening Prayer, so it was really nice. Then on Thursday we went up to Evergreen to have a traditional dinner. It was held at PK and Glenn's house, they are a nice older couple from our church who are really just adorable. The sad part is, the day before, one of their dogs was hit by a car and killed. They insisted on still having the dinner, so we went ahead, but at times it was just really really sad. On Friday, Momma and I went shopping at the black Friday sales. We ended up with 3 new pairs of jeans, 4 new really cute shirts, a pair of running shorts, a pair of splatter paint rocketdog shoes, and a pair of fashion boots, so all in all it was a really good shopping trip. Then Friday night we went to Alternative Thanksgiving at Dana and Becky's house, which was really fun, I got to see Kim and Sarah which was nice, although the repetitive questions about school and stuff was really starting to get on my nerves. Saturday night we went to the Hanging of the Greens at church which was all of 8 people, so we hung the ornaments and ordered pizza and the ended up going to see A Christmas Carol in 3D. All in all, the break was really nice, it was really nice not to have to get up early for school.

[-] I'm a bit overwhelmed with school right now. I have this huge portfolio due in less than 48 hours for English, and I've done absolutely nothing on it, plus I have to write a persuasive paper by Friday. I feel ok about calc and history, but really I just want it to be next semester already. Even if I fail English though, I have the credits from my AP class in high school, so it won't be the end of the world, I just wish I had known about the credits earlier so I could have dropped the class and gotten something else that I needed. Oh well, I guess I'll just make do and bullshit a bunch of stuff.

[-+] Zach and I had a long long discussion about becoming friends with benefits. I KNOW that it's a bad idea, but I really can't help myself when it comes to him, he was the first boy I ever loved, and he holds a special place in my heart. So we were talking about it and he didn't really seem into it, so I told him to forget about it. I went to sleep and when I woke up the next morning, I had a text message from him that said "I'd fuck you." Which yes is flattering, but was really blunt and not something I was expecting from him. I figured it was the alcohol he was drinking the night before, but when I asked him about it, he said that he would. We talked about it some more, and ultimately decided not to risk our friendship. It's definitely for the best, I don't want to lose my V-Card to someone with absolutely no attachment to me...

That's it for now, I love you guys, and I promise to comment more on your posts!!!
