07:48 pm: I am 99% sure that I have a sinus infection.  I have the mucus and the pain in the face.  My teeth hurt so much that I can not chew without pain, and looking down is not happening!  So I have to go to the doctor's soon, and I hate that because I have to miss work and then go on antibiotics, which again I hate taking medication! grr grumble

01:36 am: So I am not as strong as I thought I was. I, like always, place too much of myself in with another, so I can only ever be hurt when their views do not match mine. I want to make my mind a tabula rasa of sorts. Wipe clean that person who clings and depends and reveal a stronger girl. I seriously doubt I have a side that can feel alone and be ok with it. I want to partition myself so that I can exist alone and be fine, yet like being with another when they have time for me. I do not want to be the one waiting on another, I want to be waited on. I have spent a long time waiting on others to decide my life. Maybe what I though was a wrong choice and evidence that I should not make my own decisions is really the first step in not waiting to get my life going.

So, once again, here I go

(Think Garden State when they stand over the abyss)

12:28 am: New Start
So now I have moved out of Louisiana. I have a new life to start, new job, new friends to make. I hope I can get what I want out of this new life. The past is over, I have moved on, literaly.

Adios~

09:09 pm: So life is crazy. I met a guy at work who seems so great. He is smart and so sweet. I try not to rush, but it is hard not to give in to my feelings. I hope it all works out in the end. I've had the sweet guy who seems so awsome that I almost married him, but I was too boring and unhappy for him. And I tried the guy who said he would be sweet, but ended up condescending me and trying to change me at my core. I am ready for another guy, who keeps his promise, hopefully he will be the one.

But who knows...

06:20 pm: Life moves on, new opportunities are arising, say Yay to life!

P.S. I am a bit happy too...

11:39 am: So since I am no longer getting mariied in July, I have to replan my future, but I think I end up coming out ahead in this future. Oh the future looks so shiny and bright, I would never have thought it could be without him, but it is!

10:33 pm: I hate being engaged

02:20 pm: Amazing how everybody thinks others are judging their every move and it matters. At the end of the day 90% of the people will forget who you are and what you did. The few that remember will have their opions, but they dont mean anything ten or even a year from now. Trust me no matter what you do , thier problems are worse to them, than anything you could do.

09:45 am: I think my time on LJ has come to a close.

02:57 am: Grood Day
Had a good day, went to ren-fest, bought dragons, watched limey birds, wrote an art paper, slept a little, talked to Becca about a way to screw with housing (floor linolium is not glued down), got engaged, called my mom at midnight about going to ren-fest, and now I am tired enough to go to bed.

I just wish I was not so sick!

10:46 am: Updated Life
So it has been a while, but I finally have internet again, full time in my room! My desktop has a purpose again!

Weekend was good, but did not get nearly enough school work done, but I got the neceaasary stuff done. Friday I chilled while Mike was meeting with a Theta Chi national guy. Afterwards we went to Covington to get him a new game for his birthday (Mario 64 for the DS (it rocks!)) and we bugged my roomate on her job at Target. We had 30 minutes from getting to Covington till ut was all closed, so we fast shopped.
Saturday I did some cleaning in my room and the living room after making a good quick chicken and egg soup. We ate dinner when he got home and ran out to go catch the sneak preview of School For Scoundrels playing that night at the Palace. It was not too crowded, considering it was a 730 showing, even after getting there late, we got two seats up in the near top rows. Only annoying thing was the guy behind us laughed really loud and really long for things no one else was laughing at. Then we went to Bedico, almost got lost and since Mike's phone had no bars out there, we had to rely on the fact that he might remember street names from going there two times before. He did and we got there and watched Boondock Saints (love it)
Sunday chilled at home, real mellow till Mike finished road clean up. Then I went over to the house and played Uno with Mike and two others. I won four out of six games. Then Mike, Gavin and I went to Walmart to get crackers, ez cheese, and pepperoni (also canadian bacon) and we sat on the floor of the hose eating mostly all of it. The we went to get ice cream at Marble Slab, made Preson hit on a girl, and watched Josh make waffle cones. Went home to finally do some homework, and then out to Tommy's where Casey of In Media Res was singing acoustically. At some burnt cookies (still strangely good) and bed.

This week is classes mostly, writing a few papers, and relaxing.

Adios~

11:42 pm: H-Town
Back in Hammond for the exciting beginning of school. Being very lazy, as I watched NASCAR and She's All That today. Going to try to get into bed at a good time, not like at 4am last night.
Walmart is very hard to navigate in, it's hard not to crash into kids running around. Saw one family that had two carts just so the kids could sit in a cart.

I am excited for classes to start. New professors, silibi, taking notes. It's all so nifty to me.

Very keen for Monday

Adios~

01:26 pm: GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
So doing the whole GRE thing tomorrow. Gotts study math and brush up, so I am not slow at it.

Think I will pee my pants its so scary

Here's to the uncertain future, (fail or pass) it should be there.

10:55 pm: No Many Animals
Went to the zoo yesterday. Not much to see, but Mike told me where everything used to be, since he knew it by heart as a kid.

I hope my internet gets fixed soon, I really hate not being online on AIM.

Really tired of updating now, so

Adios~

01:00 pm: Alternanthera philoxeroides
Ok so I am doing to work thing. Trying to take my mind off finals coming up. Tomorrow is the lab final for native plants, where I have to know family genus and secies of 102 plants, for 50 to name. I figured out I have 52% learned, and I reviwed this morning with happiness, so I am comming along. Hopefully by tonight I can name all of them, so I do not have to worry tomorrow. Friday is a final in seminar, then monday is the final in lecture for native plants. Also I am writing a paper for native plants nad have 4 pages double spaced. I am getting there, maybe 5 more pages and I will be done.

I am happy Mikey is back home after being gone last week. Enjoying time with him, despite the whole finals thing looming over us. After finals I want to go see Clerks II and Lady in the Water. Hopefully I can.

Not much else, just trying to stay sane and getting plenty of rrelaxation.

Adios~

01:46 pm: oh he he

You Are An ISFJ

The Nurturer You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal. A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways. In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music. You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for. You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

I always knew I should have gone to chef school, oh well, I'll just have to make cookies instead

Anticipation kills most.
