You know those weeks when it feels like nothing else could possibly go wrong .. and then it does? Those days when you feel like you have nothing or no one to fall back on, because the people who would have normally been there to catch you: are either far away, or the ones pushing you down?

... yeah, I've had one of those weeks. And I have to tell you, it sucks. It sucks so bad that .. I could say it couldn't possibly get worse but then .. you know the drill.

But, there is one person that has been by my side this whole time, and talked to me until 3 and 4am on mornings when she had to get up early for class .. dried my tears and told me that everything would be ok, even though the world seems to be falling apart right now .. and proved that no matter what the circumstance, time, place .. she is and will always be there for me. She's my best friend, and I couldn't find a better one if I started looking now, and didn't stop until .. like, death, or something. So, basically like 87 years or something like that. Give or take, you know. But still: I love her to death and ... she's the smartest (she got a 5 on the AP Lit exam .. yeah, I know) and the coolest .. and the most spectacular friend in the entire world. And I couldn't be more thankful .. or more blessed.

... oh, by the way: that was Trendy, I said all these good things about her and then forget to include her name. Well, at any rate: there ya go. You probably coulda guessed.

Other than that ... life's great. Lol, I work at Cracker Barrel now, and I'm out of training, so it should be good. Better than Sonic, I hope. But I'm sure I'll be complaining about it in NO time. Lol, hope everyone is doing great!! I can't wait to see everyone again!

Wow, I am updating more, which surprises me. I thought I was done with xanga. But is anyone ever REALLY done? No.. no, I'm thinking that is pretty darn impossible.

Things are going swell. Like for instance, I'm working like .. every day! What a surprise!! The new Sonic opened up, and YES .. it sucks. DPOD, thank you for pointing out that I was once excited about working there. I was so young and impressionable at that age .. my vunerability was super high .. that's all I can think on the issue of my temporary either: insanity or .. yeah, insanity pretty much sums it up.

School is out for the Christmas break (at least for us, sorry guys) and I am enjoying the company of my own home, once again. It's just like old times. I'm on the computer, my dad's watching TV (or in bed) and my mom and brother are playing cards. Yeah, it's good to be home.

I can't wait till everyone comes home, it will be even better than Thanksgiving break!! It'll be like TEN times as good! I'll have them here for a whole month, and nothing excites me more, let me tell you. I am definitely looking forward to being able to spend time with everyone LEISURELY.. and not have to worry about them leaving again at the end of the weekend. It's gonna be super, I can already tell.

Oh, and just in case anyone was wondering: I aced my finals, so I am on an emotional HIGH right now. Damn right.

Hello all. It has been awhile. I remember when xanga was the shit. Like, when you couldn't go 2 days without posting, and that was basically pushing the envelope. We logged on like 4 times an hour just to see if anyone had commented on the 2 hour old post. Man oh man, those were the days.

Quick update:

I have been making consistent car payments .. which is good. It is getting easier to work the allotted number of hours in order to make the amount that I need to pay out. I find myself even taking off a weekend here and there .. just to spend time with friends when they come in town .. or just to go out of town on a whim. It's nice, ya know? That, and the new Sonic is opening up on JTB and Phillips, and me and Trendy are the only day girls going over there, so we should be working less and making more. Well, not working less .. but hopefully something like that. I want to get a job at Hollister really bad, so if anyone has the hookup (JENNA) then let me know!

The Tennessee trip was a freaking blast. I had so much fun, and seeing Rach and Linz  in their own new environment was quite interesting. We are all changing so much, but we still find time to help each other make the change. That's something great to be able to say I am apart of. I love my friends so much.. they're the best. ALL of them.

Oh yeah, I'm dating Matt now, so that's definitely new. It's been a couple months, but still it's weird thinking that I have a boyfriend. Especially one that is the brother of a kindergarten friend of mine.. weeeeeird. So, Caroline if you are reading this .. sorry but, what can ya do? Oh and about the Fl. Southern thing too.. seriously, I am.

Thanksgiving was great. Had all 4 of my best friends down here, and that was a blast. I am having trouble dividing my time between them.. and its hard.. but, I want to see them all and be with them all so badly.. I'm figuring it out. I saw a bunch of good movies, watched some good ones two and three times (skeleton key.. ahem) and shared a MILLION laughs.. it was great, and I can't wait till Christmas break cause I'll have them for a whole month! Good times!

Alright, I got a new fish too.. I saved the best for last! Lol .. he's red, and his name is Pepperoni. He's great.

Ok, so Halloween is over, and Thanksgiving approaches. That's pretty cool, though, cause I will use any excuse necessary to NOT go to class. Not that I really NEED that excuse anymore, but I'd like to have one, at any rate. School is going ... alright. I met with the guidance counselors and it seems that I am on the road to school FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. The fact that child psychology majors have to go to school for like 8 years AFTER the 4 that are required, has been on my mind alot lately, but I am alright with it for now. I'll just prolong getting a real job and going somewhere with my life for.. well, I suppose as long as I can get away with mooching off my friends and family. So beware.

I went to the fair last night for the first time EVER. Pretty sweet! I won a goldfish, and every two seconds the people controlling those game tents were trying to coax us over to try our luck at tossing a rigged ball into a bucket, and things of that nature. As appealing as all those big teddy bears looked, I rarely saw anyone win anything. I did mention that it was rigged, right? Right. I have another fish that is in the tank with the fair one, and it's name is Buckle. He swims upside down and then lays at the top of the tank .. completely upside down. It sort of looks like it's playing dead or something like that. But .. it's not. It just has a lame fin and can't swim to the bottom of the tank. He's like Nemo .. which is sort of endearing, if you think about it, right? But my roommates call it retarded and laugh at him. Being a mother is such a heartbreaking thing sometimes.

Thursday morning we leave for Tennessee to go visit Rachel and the cat. I am very excited about this, yet very worried at the same time. My car is the vehicle of transport, and I have ZERO money for gas, food, clothes .. anything. I maybe have 6 dollars in my bank account right now. It's this damn car payment. It's sucking the life out of me slowly.. veeery slowly. But I'm gonna stick with it because no one thinks I can pull it off. It's sort of like the whole tattoo thing. Yeah, so I'm a sucker for pain. I can't take it. You pinch me hard enough and I'll cry for ya. But, who has the tattoo now? Yeah thats right: me. Push me, bitches .. I dare you.

That is all, for now. For I must nap like a kindergartener or.. I am cranky at night.

It's October 27th, and there are DOZENS of Halloween parties going down tonight. Jennifer is going to be a "naughty nurse" and will be prancing around with two girls from down the hall, dressed as a fairy and a french maid. Inevitably, going out with them tonight would make me the designated driver .. and as exciting as that sounds .. I believe I am going to pass. This still leaves my Halloween activies to be determined. Trendy wants to get costumes and junk .. but, I mean .. what should I be? I think I covered the prehistoric category at work last year. And let's face it: that didn't work out too well for me. Why couldn't I remember the damn mint?!

Rachel gave us this memory book to fill out with pictures and detailed descriptions of everything .. like a memoir, kind of. She did her part already, and now it's my turn .. then Trendy and Lindsay will do it, too. So, at the end: we'll have a complete memory book filled with pictures of each of us having a great time .. without the other ones. Sounds like I need to start taking more pictures. But to tell the truth: there aren't many people here that I would just LOVE to get to know, be friends with and just take picture after picture with! It seems like we got stuck in a building full of .. dude, I don't even know. But these people aren't normal ..

I dropped my biology class. Yeah, I just .. hated that class. I'll have to do something like that sometime in the future .. but, what the heck? I'm all over it .. next time.

Just so everyone knows: racquetball is like the greatest game ever played. At first glance: sooort of looks like a sissy game for people who can't play basketball or some sweet sport like that. But, after playing a round or two, you just can't get enough of it. AND all that running around has GOT to be good for you. So, I'm all over THAT as well.

How is everyone else doing? Classes still good? I miss everyone!! I can't wait till Christmas break cause we're all gonna have to hang out. We'll go to the beach .. don't we love Florida?? Lol ..
