Things have been a little hectic for me. I've been in the fast lane for the past two months, and I haven't really had time dedicated to me. I thought it would be nice to release pent up emotions, share my day, and keep in touch with all my LJ friends.

Interesting things to point out: Within a week, I've seen two people I used to go to school with, and both of them acknowledged my presence. The first guy actually held a conversation with me, and I was a little surprised to see him at my place of employment. It's not exactly the kind of place I ever come across kids I've gone to school with. And the second guy I saw yesterday. We graduated together, and never said one word in all the years we've been to school. But then I find out that nearly two years ago - that he works at the place I just got a job. He usually only works the summer's now that he's in his third year of college, but he came in yesterday with his mom and was really friendly to me.

I think that's really astounding - how we never communicate with people while we're in school, but outside of school we start talking. I admit: he's still as cute as ever and he seems to have a great set of moral values, and he's probably nearly as shy as I am. So all in all, yesterday was a very good day.

Umm. What else? My birthday is this Tuesday. 21. Not so excited. Everyone seems to be making a big deal of it, but I'm not really a fan of alcohol. So....it'll be interesting. I'd like to go to my favorite upscale-ish mexican restaurant. Have dinner, have a few drinks. That works for me. The bar setting. Yeah, so not my thing. I'm already socially awkward to begin with.

Twilight Graphics

I had some issues with lj today (that made me explictedly curse it) and my icon post vanished into thin air. Poof. It will be up tomorrow, but until then, I have some Twilight graphics to share.

Overboard

Robert Pattinson doesn't look like a powdery white, hairy donut.

I'm officially pissed. STOP talking trash about the Twilight cast. Preferrably now. Before I have to wake up tomorrow morning and make a long podcast on how ridiculous this Twilight negativity is becoming.

MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA is amazing.

If you don't know that by now, I feel for you.

Because they have been getting me through some of the worst times of my life this past year. Of course Brand New is number one in that department, but Man Orch is definitely a close second. There is just something so special about the music these two bands make. I feel like I'm strong enough to get through anything. God, do I love that feelings.

I have come to the conclusion that I'm an awful journal keeper. Not only that, but I'm a pretty boring person. And this pretty much stacks the odds against me. Regardless, I come bearing news.

My second best friend will be having a baby girl and they named her Maria Taylor. She is scheduled to come into the world a month after my birthday. I'm hoping she's a little bit closer to mine, though. There is not nearly enough December birthday love. Yesterday, I went to Babies R Us and spent about $40 on some clothing. Since my paychecks suck lately, I'm trying to spread out when I buy and how much I spend. I still have plans to buy a lot more stuff. I'm going to buy this cute basket at work that has a lid---and the lid is covered in fabric--and it's soft. And I'm going to buy a bunch of miscellaneous baby stuff and put it in there. That way, they'll have a really nice basket to store stuff in - maybe even keep it for some baby stuff.

Also, there is a potential I could be Maria's godmother. It is down to my other best friend and me. So, I'll see what happens there.

Thank god the baby shower is over a month away. I have no intentions to procrastinate about this. I want to do something special for my friend and her baby girl. : )

Things are good. I made a friend out of a bad situation.

And we get along so fantastic.

It's weird. I used to get along really good with guys. Then I got along better with girls. And now I'm getting along better with guys again. Guys are simple. I like it. I like being able to be simple in turn.

I will cherish this moment. As a line to one of my favorite song goes: Like all good things, they never last.

I am friends with my best friends ex.

This suddenly makes things a bit complicated and awkward. Oops.

At least I'm a good judge of character. I know that. So, I'll be friends with whoever I think is worthy. And hopefully that doesn't create unnecessary drama. I guess I'll see how things unfold.

Sometimes I hate being right. I let my guard down for a minute and I'm smashed into smithereens. I'm so stupid. I'm tired of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and then finding out that they are exactly what I didn't want them to be.

I would like to have a bonfire, preferrably cursing boys into hell in the process.

WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD GUYS AT?

I have been so busy, lately. I know I'm spread too thin, but there isn't much I can do about that.I am thrown for a loop though. Last year, I joined espinthebottle. Yeah, Yeah. I get it. Who signs up for internet dating sites? Anyway, it was mostly for shits and giggles.

I sign on from time to time - taking quizzes, fixing my profile information, and searching for guys in my area. I know low lame this sounds, but this is coming from a girl that thinks all boys around here are spawns of satans and so I reduce myself to not dating at all.

After three catastrophic dates with three different boys last summer, I was literally scarred for life. And the fourth contender was a stalker who only ever talked to me on the phone (we were kind of set up through my best friend's boyfriend (now ex boyfriend, ironically enough). He called a lot and was freaky obsessive and went on and on about how much he loved me. Yeah...that really turned me off the dating/relationship scene.

ANYWAY, I got a note on espinthebottle from a boy who lives approximately 45 minutes from me. And well, he's a pretty damn decent looking guy (haha...this is so weird considering the guys that usually give me attention). Usually, I'll be nice and even add them to my list. But it never goes any farther than that. Haha. I think they expect me to make the next move. That really won't happen. But now I'm torn. I don't know if I should add him or not...and I don't know.

HOW can you get butterflies over a guy ONLY by reading his profile (I didn't look at his picture until the end. That's my policy.) ? I think I need to sleep on it. Or something.

Oops

So, MS word crashed on me yesterday. I lost all of part III. That is why I didn't update last night. Sorry! It's taking a lot of time and energy to recreate the scenes. I will not make it for the deadline. No one is more disappointed by this than I am... but at least I'll finish it. This week.

In other news, why is Manchester Orchestra sooooooooo good? They are a-mazing live. (I saw them in April.) I have so much love for Andy Hull that it's ridiculous. :D

Waking In The Breakdown

Here is it. The first part in a monster of a fan fiction. I don't know how I've managed to get to this point. Hearing Goo Goo Dolls just sparked this intense inspiration in me, and I had to finish what I started. So, I'm being quite ambitious here, but Part II will come tomorrow - before afternoon. (I'm almost finished with it already. *grins*)

Greek Fan Fiction News

I am working on probably the greatest Greek fan fiction to date (of my own writing, of course).

Depth Perception was an insanely inspiring landmark in Greek. What I'm working on is a piece that is basically missing scenes in Greek and what happens afterwards. I'm thinking it'll be a multi-part piece. So far, the average for the chapters is over 2,000 words. I will start posting it tonight (if i'm not exhausted after getting in at 8). Part two will be tomorrow. Part three will be Sunday. And if I can manage it, part four will be be early Monday.

What does this mean? Well, this means I have a lottttt of writing to do. I only have two pages of part two. And the chapters are averaging around four pages in MS Word at Tahoma with a font size of 9. If you read this, drop me some inspirational/motivating messages to keep me on track!

I.Must.Be.Crazy.

All Aboard: The Nice Train

As the subject hints, I am still on the nice train. Considering everything, this is both a good and bad thing.

Case point: I was asked if I had any plans Labor Day. I said no. My supervisor asked me if I could work. I said yes. It will be for seven hours by myself. Oh...and the point: I sort of had plans. And now said plans have to be worked around my new schedule.

On another note, I have some bad ass poison ivy.

Frakkkkkkkk.

I am about to test the bleach theories.

Cortaid and Calamine lotion are doing jack shit.

And it's spreading. And I'm not even scratching it.

Mixed Feelings

You know, I've always prided myself on being the "person" that my friends can run to when they have a problem. I'm always neutral and honest. And I actually offer solutions to problems. And I don't really mind it. I generally put friends before I even think of myself or what I need. But lately, it feels like I'm the only person being unloaded on.

Okay, you have a problem. I'll offer advice and do what I can. But it's not fair to make a mountain out of a molehill with something that has an easy solution. And it's not fair when I have a ton of shit going on in my life, and I can't dump on anyone/anything but lj. How messed up is that? I'm willing to bend over backwards for a friend, and they're not willing to do it in return.

Oh well. At least I'm productively dealing with my problems. I've long learned the advantage of coping skills and journals. I guess it's about time to utilize those and take care of myself first.

Phewwwww.

In other news, Knoebels was good up until none of my friends wanted to go on the rides I wanted to go on. And both my friends were there with their fiances sooooo I got to be the odd person out, stuck on going on rides by myself. Eff that. It pretty much ruined the whole day. I went to have fun with my friends - not have fun by mself, which I didn't have by the way.

I'm ready for some major c-c-changes.

And it looks like I'll be executing those changes.

Knoebels Friday.

This is the first time I've ever been able to go to an amusement park/do anything fun this summer. I blame that sad fact solely on my work schedule. Although I'll probably be burnt out before the end of August, at least I've been saving up some money.

And OMG. HOT FUZZ was fantastic. Plus, there's just something about English accents that I can't help but adore. But the camera work and whole "feel" of the film was quite original. I have to return it to Blockbuster tomorrow, but I might just buy it on DVD. It could potentially rank high with a few of my film favorites.
