Hey kids!
I'm back. Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, I just haven't been around much! And when I am around, I'm hardly ever on the internet. But I just wanted to say hey and let you all know that I was still alive :)
I've been having a blast lately - I've gone to 6 concerts, 3 countries, Atlanta, and Key West since I last updated. :) All the pictures from Spring Break are here!
So it's crunch time now before exams, and I'm soooo glad the semester's almost over. Last day of classes is tomorrow!!! Only 4 exams, and then I'm off to Buffalo for a few days! I'm kinda homesick, I suppose. I'm gonna be there from the 11th to the 14th, and my schedule's getting packed fast, so let me know if you want to chill ;)
My birthday's about a month from now (the 4th) and I'm so excited!! I'll finally be out of my teens haha... Can't say I'm anything less than ready! Then only one more year til I don't have to worry about not being able to get in anywhere *sigh*...
Matt and I are still doing well, we've gone through our first little fight (cuz I was being a bitch and he was being a pain in the ass LOL)... But everything is awesome now. I'm still crazy about him, and we're closer than ever :)
I'm moving in with Brandi and Chris in July... I'm psyched about looking for houses and townhouses and stuff... I think we've found one that's perfect!!!
The only other thing that's changed lately is Circuit City... All these people keep getting fired from my department, so I'm getting a bunch of hours lately. Thank god, cuz I need to pay off my SB debt!!!!
I'm off now to hang out with Matt :) |

Okay, sorry that it's been awhile. I've been so busy, and I finally got stuck with the bug that's going around my apartment so I have a chance to write. Instead of going to class. Ha.
So Valentine's Day was amazing. At 12 am, we were laying in bed, and he wished me a Happy V-Day and asked if I'd be his valentine. :) Then he proceeded to tell me two things he had been missing in his life - the first was the best spot on his waterbed. The second was me. He left that morning for school and work, and came back around 7 at night. He came in the door with roses and a heart shaped bucket with two bottles of wine, little heart napkins, and chocolates inside. On his second trip in, he brought two bags of groceries and ANOTHER bouquet of flowers. I gave him his XM, which he loved, and I got the tickets to Jimmy Buffett. Everything was in pairs :)
He made salad and chicken alfredo, and we munched on chocolates and drank wine as dinner was cooking. The whole thing was pretty romantic, which is somewhat unusual for us - neither of us are the romantic type. Before we started eating, he actually said a prayer. Ask me how long it's been since THAT happened to me. It weirded me out a little bit, but in a good way. One reason it was weird was that he asked God for a good meal, a good night, and good SEX. This brought forth a question from me: "Can you ask God for good sex?" He rationalized it by saying that God knows we do it anyway. Which makes me feel a little strange - I don't really want to think that GOD is watching me fuck, to put it bluntly.
Definitely didn't affect the sex, though. ;) The wine had gone to my head pretty quickly, so I was feeling amazing by the end of the night. And sex with him is never any less than amazing, anyway, hehe.
It was easily the best V-Day I'd ever had, but I feel like I say that all the time when I'm with him. It's true, though - every day there's a new reason for me to fall in love with him :)
That's been my life lately, so no complaints here. School has been extremely easy - 98 on my last German test, and a Micro test I think I passed with flying colors :) Work has been considerably better - I'm back down to about 25 hours a week. And my money situation is starting to get better, I've been rationing. Taxes will bring me back $600, and my parents are sending me some money before Spring Break.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! THE CRUISE IS IN 17 DAYS!!!!!!!!! And my Chris comes down in 16!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm slightly excited)
I think I'm about to go do some shopping. I feel like hell but I just can't sit in all day again. Maybe I'll feel shitty when I go, but at least I'll be able to say I attempted to do something today. |

Okay, sorry I haven't been around at all lately - my internet's been acting up, and I've been busssssyyyyy. ;)
I think we found a place - The Concord Pointe Townhomes. They're so nice and big and NEW, and in a great location! :) We're also looking at the Tower Place Apartments, cuz they're very pretty, LOL. But we checked a ton of places today (from 9 til 6) with hardly anything standing out - until Concord, that is.
I see Matt almost every night now, and things are really going well. He and I are a really good match, I think. :) Speaking of the devil, I'm about to get up with him, so I'll update more later! |

I have the most bizarre dreams of anyone I know. I think the full moon causes my mind to warp. Last night I had a really vivid dream that Matt and I were living in a Western, and that he borrowed money from some big burly guy in town. This guy lost a bet and suddenly needed all his money back, and would shoot all the guys who owed him money and couldn't pay up. But he'd shoot them through a fence, and they'd never see it coming. Apparently Matt and I wanted to get married, and his mother didn't like me, so we decided to run away since this guy was gonna shoot him if he stayed there anyway. We grabbed our stuff and left in the middle of the night, and rode up to another town a few hours away. (I don't care what you think, up to now it hasn't even been the weird part. LOL.) This town was like the Arabian village in Aladdin, so we had to dress accordingly if we wanted to stay there. We stayed for a couple days to take a rest and decide where to go, and we were sitting in the marketplace one day when we heard loud gunshots. It was the big burly Western guy, with Matt's mother riding on the horse with him. Matt was about a hundred feet away, and I told him to run. He hesitated and left, and his mother came right up to me. I was wearing a scarf over my mouth, so I guess she didn't recognize me, and I disguised my voice. After asking where we were, she seemed dissatisfied that I "didn't know" anything, and the big burly guy told her to take me with them into this one building. We sat at a table, and I made them believe that I was nuts by telling these strange stories about bears. Someone knocked at the door, and I told them it was the milkman (????) and got up to get it. It was Matt, and as soon as I got to the door, I pushed him out and we ran back to the little hotel where we were staying. We grabbed our stuff again and left in our buggy, and his mother saw us and they started chasing after us, shooting.
The part I hate about most of my dreams is that they never really end. They leave off at odd places.
EWWWW!!!! Gross work story time!
So I opened this morning, and was putting out tags right before the store opened with Damian (one of my favorite work buddies)... I happened to see someone's tiny purse that was left between our seats in front of the big screens. Damian joked around and said, "Here, it's mine." But I was like, "NOOOO, I'm gonna open it and see if there's an ID inside." I opened it, and there was a pair of NASTY ASS PANTIES inside. EW, EW, EW!!!! I shrieked and dropped it, and I don't think I'll ever feel clean again. Everyone thought I was dying, cuz I was making so much dramatic noise, LOL. But seriously, that's fucking disgusting, unsanitary, and just WEIRD!
The rest of my day went okay. |

The world can be a beautiful place.
Let me paint you a picture: A guy and girl walk hand-in-hand (who look pretty good together, I might add *wink wink*), comfy in gloves and hats, around the perimeter of a large freezing pond. A gorgeous blue-eyed husky prances along in front of them as they laugh and talk. The man stops walking, turns the woman by her shoulders to face his pond, and hangs his arms around her, pointing at a distant spot and talking into her ear. He drops the husky's leash, turns her back to face him, and she throws her arms around him. The two share a spectacular kiss, ignoring everyone else in the world - at that moment, the universe is theirs.
And THAT was my weekend. *sigh*
Maybe one of the sweetest moments of my life. |

I could not seem to get motivated this morning!!! Last night I was extremely depressed after watching Requiem For A Dream (that movie fucked me up) and I fell into a coma til 11. When I got up, I just felt sooo lazy, because I haven't had a day to myself in FOREVER. I finally got into the shower around 1 so I could go out, and I came out of my room refreshed and ready to go - and then I realized my new Onkyo receiver had come! I was ecstatic, and of course I had to hook it all up right away. So... I didn't actually get outta the house until 4. Then I went to Circuit City to get more cables to hook the damn thing up (my TV is old, so it doesn't have A/V jacks and requires a shitload of cables and modulators), then to Dick's to get a football jersey for work for the next two weeks - if they're gonna let us wear jerseys, jeans, and sneakers, I'm gonna take FULL advantage of that. The jersey is amazingly cute - but the only way you're gonna see it is to visit me at CCity in the next two weeks :) When I went home and hooked my stuff up, I was VERY proud of myself for being able to do it on my own. I even consolidated the wires in the back so it doesn't look crazy. That's the one thing I can say I appreciate about Carlos (my dictator at work) - he taught me the value of hiding cables. It was about at that point that I realized my life revolves around work, Matt, music, and school. In that order. Nothing else. I've become a loser. LOL.
So, here are the answers to that post:
1. I have enough college credits to be considered a junior. - FALSE!
2. I own every Sims game that has ever been made and does not require a monthly fee. - True. Told you I'm a loser ;)
3. I have run someone over with my car. - True! I ran over Ryan's foot - hahaha
4. My left index finger is noticeably shorter than my right. - True. My dad accidentally chopped the very top of my left index finger off when I was little by closing a door on it. It doesn't look weird - until you compare it to my right.
5. I have over 600 CD's. - FALSE. I wish.
6. I hold a recent record at Circuit City for most dollars per hour in written sales in a single day. - FALSE. Who really keeps track of that?!
7. I have a blood disease. - True. It's called Von Willebrand's.
8. I met my current boyfriend at a toga party. - True. Tara's party.
9. I don't drink soda. - True! Didn't you guys know that? I haven't since about 10th grade.
10. I speak English, Spanish, and German. - True.
11. I once got into a fight to defend a friend I wasn't even that close to. - FALSE. Very close to a fight, but the guys pulled us away before anything happened.
12. I have never gotten into a car accident while I was driving. - True - the only thing on my record is that speeding ticket :/
13. I have never lived with a female human being other than my mother. - True.
14. I have met and hung out with Mark McGrath and Stan Frazier of Sugar Ray. - FALSE. I'd have died and gone to heaven already if I had.
15. I almost died from tonsil removal complications when I was 6. - True. The stupid doctor botched the operation up BIG TIME, and I had major blood loss due to the Von Willebrand's.
Hehe the detailed ones threw you guys off ;) |

My entries are, on average, pretty boring when I'm happy. So, for lack of anything more interesting to post, here you go. I think everyone should try this cuz it's kinda neat :)
Post 15 facts about yourself: 10 true, 5 false. Everyone who reads it should guess which are the false statements, then post it in their journals.
1. I have enough college credits to be considered a junior.
2. I own every Sims game that has ever been made and does not require a monthly fee.
3. I have run someone over with my car.
4. My left index finger is noticeably shorter than my right.
5. I have over 600 CD's.
6. I hold a recent record at Circuit City for most dollars per hour in written sales in a single day.
7. I have a blood disease.
8. I met my current boyfriend at a toga party.
9. I don't drink soda.
10. I speak English, Spanish, and German.
11. I once got into a fight to defend a friend I wasn't even that close to.
12. I have never gotten into a car accident while I was driving.
13. I have never lived with a female human being other than my mother.
14. I have met and hung out with Mark McGrath and Stan Frazier of Sugar Ray.
15. I almost died from tonsil removal complications when I was 6.
If anyone can guess which 5 are not true, I'll seriously send you a check for $10. :)
So take your best guess. I'll post the answers in a week or so. |

This XM plays a ton of rare shit. Like this song. Oh my GOD. I know I rave about it all the time, but I'm just stressing the amazing-ness of it. Don't let anyone tell you Sirius is better.
I <3 Ethel.
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around...
I start class again in an hour and five minutes. Blah... I'm only there for an average of 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, so it's not like it's ever going to stress me out. I'm lazy.
So lately I've been working and hanging out with Matt. That's about it from the home front. We did attempt to see White Noise with Kara, Ryan, Steven, his gf, and two other people, but the line for it was past Starbucks in Concord Mills (which is INSANE, for anyone who's never been there). So we ditched it and went to On The Border. It was fun, they're a cool group of people, and we're connected in this weird circle. i.e. I work with Kara, who dates Ryan, whose brother is Steven, who is Matt's best friend. And one of the first convos I had with Kara was because she knows Vic. Funny how these things work out.
Less than 6 months til my birthday (almost exactly 6 til the birthday trip), less than two til Spring Break in the Caribbean (!!!), 4 days til my traffic court date, and 59 minutes til class. That's all from the home front.
I'm going to eat breakfast... Ciao. |

I need a TiVo for my LIFE.
If I could pause and rewind time (all I'm asking is like 12 hours, not years or anything), and maybe even put certain parts in slow motion, it just would make my life so much easier. I would even pay the $12.95 monthly fee - hell, even the $299 lifetime fee - because it'd be worth it.
Although my mounting money issues that I never talk much about are getting tighter.
"Dad, we've got DirecTV with Life TiVo in the family room!" Haha. A stupid joke that only Circuit City TV employees would get. Or someone who spends a lot of time shopping for TV's. Either way. |

WHAT in the WORLD is going on today?!
I'm losing it. There are a small handful of things in this world that keep me sane, and today they're not working. It's not a BAD day, per se... But it's more than I can handle. Way more than I can handle. Please don't read this. It won't make any sense and you'll just end up more confused than even I am.
It's like I haven't even done anything today, and things have happened TO me about which I have no knowledge. In the past four hours I'm amazed that my head hasn't exploded. Or that I didn't electrocute myself via car. Long story. I think all this static electricity I carry around has gone to my head.
This is Razorlight, and this song is my day in a nutshell. The craziness of how it's actually fits together is a good indication of my feelings too.
"Wild is the wind that strips away our sins
Yours is the night, but you don't know where to begin
But I heard you say
You've got a feeling that it's just around the bend
I heard you say
Sometimes you fall into the arms of no-one at all
I mean to say that that's alright
I did what I could!
Oh, sometimes I run
Yeah, sometimes I fall
But if it's L-O-V-E, I'll see you later
L-O-V-E-R, I'll see you later
Yours is the fire that gets in my head
Mine is desire, so let it burn down your bed
Cause I heard about those stories, yeah
I guess everyone has
I heard them say sometimes you fall
Just on your own with no-one at all
I mean to say that that's alright
I did what I could!
Oh, sometimes I run
Yeah, sometimes I fall
But if it's L-O-V-E, I'll see you later
L-O-V-E-R, I'll see you later"
If I could explain the way I feel, that would be the only way I could do it.
He and I were sharing stories last night about our vices (coincidentally the name of the song above), and I learned a lot - about him and myself. Sometimes it helps to talk it out. I'm nicer now, by far, than I used to be. Because it all fell into my lap before. Now I don't have to work for it, exactly, but I appreciate it a lot more. And something just dawned on me in the past couple hours. It's like an epiphany that I've been hoping for, one that I've been waiting forever for. And even though it makes me feel chaotic, I feel relieved at the same time.
There's no turning back now. But it's good to know that he still would have been "at me" in the past. That really says something about how he feels about me now, in Matt terms. It's confusing, it's endearing, and it makes me want to scream. I think in happiness. "Time is weird."
It's 64 in January. Charlotte weirds me out. |

The very last day of 2004, right before the sun went down, I was driving back to my house alone. There was not a soul to be seen on that road (it's new, so hardly anybody uses it yet). From out of nowhere I saw a helium balloon float down across the road in front of me - it landed on the side of the road like it had finally given up.
How's that for cryptic?
I took it as a symbol that 2005 would be the year that childhood ended. Not only will I be turning 20 this year, but I have a pretty strong feeling that something will happen this year that will turn me into a full-fledged "adult" - whatever that happens to be. So I'm making this prediction now: something big will change my life this year, and I think it's gonna be something I'll have to deal with alone.
I guess it seems strange to think about that. |

My first few minutes of the New Year: Kisses from Matt, and fireworks downtown (which, by the way, looked especially amazing due to my altered frame of mind last night haha) while he wrapped his arms around me. If that first feeling of the new year is any indication of what the rest of 2005 will feel like, sign me up!! :)
My resolution: To take care of myself: mind, body, and soul. A: Don't allow myself to become stressed over small things, and try to avoid the big ups and downs like those of 2004. B: To drink 8 glasses of water a day (about 3 bottles of water - which I've had no problem with so far - haha). And to tone up my body (by the way, Mike, HABIT classes are on Thursday nights @ UNCC - remind me to talk to you about it!). C: To decide whether or not I believe in God. Not forcing myself one way or the other, but finding some stable ground on which to decide what I truly believe in. D: To exercise all the changes I made in late 2004 that I'm very proud of. I became a much nicer person, while still being ME... I feel like that's a big accomplishment. I want to cement myself into that person, more or less. E: To let myself be able to trust Matt completely, and to find out EXACTLY where we stand. I know he's completely worth of all this, but I need to get rid of my hang-ups/find out what his are! And F: To "apply myself" in class. I haven't gotten anything below a B, but I could earn all A's if I really tried.
Uh, that's it. LOL. I've got a lot to work on, I guess. I'm pretty determined to get all of these things accomplished this year (some sooner than others, though).
So everyone needs to listen to the band Razorlight. They're kind of a Modest Mouse/Franz Ferdinand/Strokes mix, they sound amazing. I first heard one of their songs - "Golden Touch" - the other day, and I can't get enough. If you IM me (CruelToBeKind99), I'll send it to you. I'm CRAZY about them, and I think they're contagious. Check it out ;)
I've had the best two selling days of my life (at CCity or otherwise). Yesterday, I sold $13,000 in TV's. An AWESOME day is $6000. So I was feeling like the "queen bee" yesterday (which is what they called me haha). I sold over 12% warranty, too, which added around $2000 to that total, and is something that the managers go crazy for.
I was really proud of myself yesterday. It was the most I've seen anyone sell since I got there :)
I went in today - still tripping, no less - and sold $11,000. Only 5% warranty, but hell. I'll take it! So I'm even more proud of myself today. :) I'm not meaning to brag, but I'm REALLY happy about it.
Most months our part time goal is $30,000. If I could do this every other month I'd only have to work three days to fill that. Too bad I don't get paid commission!
SPRING BREAK IS IN TWO MONTHS! I'm psyched!
I'll post a couple pictures of Christmas, Brian's Birthday, and New Years as soon as I get motivated, I promise. I still have to finish up one half of the roll I'm on. I like real cameras too much and haven't progressed to digital. Yet. It'll happen when I'm not poor/in debt. |

I don't quite know how to begin. So much has happened within the past couple weeks that it's hard to jog my own memory.
I've been working like crazy, except the three days before Christmas when I was sick. Honestly, I was NOT sick. But that's what work AND my doctor think. You know you're a good liar when you can convince a doctor that you're sick. ha.
My family came and left, leaving behind plenty of Christmas presents and cookies. It was really good to see them and my dog; I've really, REALLY missed them. My dog is going blind and deaf, and has 7 teeth left. But she'll be 13 on January 10th, and she can still jump up as high as my torso. I don't quite know what I'll do when it's finally her time to go. Sad thought.
I'll have a few pictures of Brian's birthday (his 21st on the 18th), and of plenty of random stuff. I just haven't had enough time to think, much less put pictures together, lately. His mom cried after seeing the collage that I made for him. She helped me pick out baby pictures of him when I went out to their house (i.e. when I got my speeding ticket). She's so cute.
I've been crying a lot lately (not always sad crying), and I can't figure out why. I'm not unhappy. It's like I haven't cried in a long time and it just needs to catch up with me or something.
I learned "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas. I like that song a lot, but I HATE Kansas.
Mike's birthday is tomorrow, and I finally have a scheduled day off. I need to remember to send out my speeding ticket stuff!! I'm still working about 40 hours a week. And I've sold $6000 with at least 8% warranty (12 on Sunday) in each of the last two days (which makes me really proud of myself). But if I don't start seeing some full time benefits, heads are gonna roll.
I got a ton of stuff for Christmas this year, including money, a vacuum, a toaster (all things I REALLY needed), clothes, an MP3 player, a new handbag, a CD rack, a "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" figurine set (SO cute), a couple games, and a ton of other knickknacks. This year was very ironic... My dad and I bought each other the CD/DVD set for the Goo's live concert we went to, and my mom and I bought each other suits. Funny how that works :) I got to see all of my family, along with all the dogs - Jessie, Shelby, and Guinevere (my aunt's new baby Scotty dog - so cute!!!) - and it was a pretty mellow, relaxed, NICE Christmas.
Matt and I exchanged presents yesterday, and thankfully I didn't feel weird for spending the money on him that I did. He got me Bobcats tickets! I've been wanting to go to a game!!! :) He wrapped them up in a shirt of his (inside a cute Christmas bag) that had sentimental value - it sounds weird but I was actually kind of touched by it. And he told me that I could take anyone I wanted to the game with me, BUT if I took him, he'd take me to the Melting Pot beforehand :) :) :) I don't know why I ever have doubts about him. We had this moment yesterday in which we were both speechless... I think he almost said the three magic words. You could almost hear us both holding our breath. LOL. It's comforting that I make him as confused as he makes me, I suppose, though I'd rather not be confusing at all. And go figure - by all that I'm confused.
I'm lazing around straight through tomorrow. Just try and stop me.
Ohhhhh the XM comes SOON!!!! I'm psyched! Non-stop Ethel (my fave XM station, I swear it's practically made for me) is just a couple weeks away!!!! |
