    Jeff and Lacey's baby was born the other day. I forget what his name is...something with a J? bah. Justin? Jospeh? I keep forgetting. They moved in together last week and are going to begin the process of turning a drunken one night stand threesome into a long term relationship. Smart? Who knows.

    I bought the kid lots of stuff which was fun and exciting for me. Lots of blue puppy dog outfits.

    Rachel had an abortion last week, and then I had baby freakingoutness on the brain and thought maybe I was pregnant too. Not so. thank god.

    In other news Dustin's parents are in the new house I spent hours and hours helping them move this weekend, oh yes and school has been pretty terrible this quarter, LOTS AND LOTS of friggin work.

    I have an exam and a paper which I havent even considered due tomorrow.

    oh yes and if anyone wants to give me a job?? Im in desperate need of money and have little to no shame

    Dustin and I are trying to buy a house.

    Right now Dustin is working at Lexus and Im gainfully unemployed (but I only have one year of school left so Im trying to hussle through it) Dustin heard of a mechanic job posting the other day at school (he works and does school full time) and if he gets that job (almost twice his salary now) a house would be 100% realistic in the next few months **crosses fingers**

    I suppose I should update.

    Collen was shot 4 times in Iraq, last Saturday, and we knew he was shot in the neck and in the legs, but I was crying and 100% stressed and anxiety attacky, and then I sat with his parents and they told me he had movement in all his extremities and his injuries were severe enough that he's coming home soon and he'll be bed ridden for a long time, but not severe enough to ruin the rest of his life.

    Im so fucking relieved he's coming home. I cant even say that enough.

    ANyways since this all happened...hmmm Tuesday? We all found out, Im feeling better and it's just yet another one of those experiences where you see what's really frivolous and what's really meaningful in life.

    IM so fucking pissed at myself.

    This is the worst most psycho crazy week of my life. Jake (the dog) took an enormous turn for the horrible and is being "put down" on Monday. Im not handling this well...at all. I cant eat and I cant leave him without crying. I feel horrid.

    It's also DUstin and my 2 year anniversary on Tuesday. I did a stupid stupid thing and kind of hyped it up a few weeks back and now all he can talk about is how excited he is to give me my present. Ok I dont want to even be alive right now much less hear about presents or celebrations of ANY sort. Dustin cannot grasp this at all. Oh yes and Ive gotten him NOTHING so far, and I dont even want to, not because he doesnt deserve it but because I dont want to think about ANYTHING. much less shopping, or leaving the house.

    Friday exams exams and more exams, monday exams exams and more exams. Dustin's been working 50 hr weeks so I havent seen him since Sunday maybe, well the assjerk at work just begged me to take his shift for him. I asked him if I was his ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT and he said yes, so tomorrow Im working 4-8 FUCK FUCK FUCK. why am I so fucking considerate and nice? I've NEVER pawned my shifts off on anyone else. FUUUUUCK. tomorrow was supposed to be the first day Id see Dustin all week. He's really going to kill me, and Im going to lose it.

    this school quarter sucks so much balls. siiigh.

    Maybe Im crazy or...not...or whatever but it seems like there are 100 million people on campus JUST THIS QUARTER. When my ass was walking around in the snow and the -10 degree weather this last quarter my classes were BARELY full. I never had a problem with the busses/parking lots/ classes/SIDEWALKS! being too full. This quarter is just insane. My philos class- atleast 15 people have to stand per class, and my math class is also kind of a scramble for a seat. That's just ridiculous. I pay way too much damn money for these assy classes. Ugh. Anyways my point is I think a whole bunch of student "lifers" decide to come out of the wood work when the weather is nice and everyone is out, however that really fucks ME up because it makes EVERYTHING slower, yesterday I had THREE full busses pass my stop before I finally could squeeze on one. TOO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE!! GRRR.

    I dont know I hate this quarter, all of my classes EXCEPT Anthropology suck. My Anthro teacher is sooo neat AND british and kinda crazy! she's awesome. but that's it everything else sucks.

    oh yeah and just to end this awful entry I got "the honeymooners disease" and am so much pain. bastard. monkey. sigh.

    two years from yesterday Dustin and I will be married! Really Im excited. We had a REALLY nice night. I made a yummy dinner then we went to the car show (Dustin got free tickets from work) and D showed me all the different cars he drives on a day to day basis (he's working at Lexus now) Im really happy for him. He just LOVES work. It's the most insane thing. He loves all the guys he works with, and he loves going to work. what a dork!! But we definetly deserve some happiness after this terrible ass winter. Oh yes and the best part of the job he can replace his tires for $40, (they'd normally cost $150 a piece) and rotate and balance mine (something Ive needed for 6+ months) for cheeeeap...now if only I could quit my job...But really things havent been this good in awhile. Im such a happier person when Im not worried about shit getting repoed everyday!!

    well I argued one of my bio test scores from a 78% to a 96%, which means even if I fail the exam I'll still get a high B. I decided today that grade grubbing in college is good. There were so many quarters where I was just too proud, even though I knew the T.A. *could* have been pursuaded to see it my way...but you know what I'll probably never see whichever T.A. I grade grubbed from again, and if it helps my G.P.A...I can definetly swallow my pride and beg.

    The only grade Im worried about is classics. I fucking HATE that class. So so so so boring to me, and all the stupid names, ugh Ive been blowing off that class all quarter and now if Im lucky I'll get a B minus. I hate classes with only 100 available points!! Leaves no room for slacking off!!

    Next quarter Im taking an anthropology course, which if all goes well I might end up adding as a major.

    Dustin had his first day of work at Lexus today, I hope all went well. Im starving so hopefully when he gets home in an hour we'll go out to dinner.

    ok Im back

    this quarter has NOT been going well for me at all. I have yet to be on time for a single class, and I have three and have been going to them since Monday!! jeez. There's something totally wrong with me...Oh yeah on Tuesday I saw Sergey Parfenov from CP. I was on the bus and he was at the bus stop waitint for a different bus, and we both just looked at eachother and waved. it was pretty funny actually. I almost got off to talk to him, but as usual I was running super late so I couldnt.

    I've actually been running into a lot of people, my highschool friend halle and then a few other girls from HS I knew as aquaintances. kinda weird.

    I got all my books for a really great price this year. 7 brand spanking new textbooks for $130. For me, that's awesome.

    there's a lot more going on but I actually dont feel like writing anymore. sigh.

    tomorrow is mine and kellagh's engagement party.

    she pretty much put the entire thing together, because I've been working like a crazy monkey.

    we're going to have a small party with snacks, we're making a strawberry cake yum, and some other edibles then we're going to see "Lemony Snicket A series of unfortunate events" Kellagh pre screened it at work and said it was great. She said I'd love it bc it was just a little gothy. I dunno. Dustin wants to see it so I'm not protesting.

    SO tomorrow schedule is as such

    9:00 am go to kellagh's help her bake cake, and make food
    12:00pm go to work
    4:00pm pick up DUstin at home, drive to Kellagh's help with other stuff
    5:00pm party starts
    6:00pm see movie

    gonna be crazy but it's a good opportunity for pictures and such!

    Stew-pid
    well last night/morning, (it was about 4:30 am) trying to leave from my house, Dustin locked his keys in his car. He was trying to warm the car up because one of the door locks was frozen, and he got out to scrape the windshield, and yes, closed the door behind him, thus locking himself out.

    for about 30 minutes he tried to pick the lock with a wire hanger...and yeeeah that wasnt going to work. finally I called the police, and it took (two of) them OVER an hour to jimmy the lock on the door, opening though subsequentially breaking the door.

    the worst part of the whole ordeal was I had to wait outside watching this entire production, in the snow, in my unmentionables and pajamas. but the worst worst part was I was sleeping for the first time in like a week last night when he left, and the whole being awoken thing threw me right back into insomniac mode. ugh.

    (speaking of insomnia dustin and I saw "the machinist" last week. go see it. it's freaky.)

    two weeks ago I practically cut off my finger at work, I've been wrapping it, and my friend Victor from work put neosporin on it, and cleaned it... but the fucker WILL NOT heal! Finally it turned green(!) so I took a picture of it. If only I could find my usb cord. Tonight I cut off the green part and my finger looks much better, the green part was 100% dead, it didnt hurt at all to remove it.

    ok this has been dumb and rambly.

    depressed
    I'm really really depressed. I realize I go through cycles, but Im just SO low right now.

    My fucking work demoted me. Well kind of. The restaurant I work at is connected to a movie theater (hence why I get free movie tickets) well the theater part needed more workers because the job is so shitty no one wants to work there. Well my manager at the restaurant asked if I wouldnt mind working over there for a little bit. So I said yeah, I mean I have nothing better to do, and it's always good (in my opinion) to get different work experience.

    So little by little I find out I have to wear a uniform, black pants, button up shirt and a tie, AND that the job pays minumum wage!!!!!!!!! ok so I want to cry. How am I supposed to survive making $5.30 an hour? I went from making $8.50/hr to $5!!! I mean that's just..ridiculous.

    Last night I swear I asked the chick who was training me when we could go home like 50 times it was so damn boring and mindless. We JUST. KEPT. CLEANING!!!! ARRRRG

    The only funny thing that happened was the chick who was training me, (Amber) was really...uhm annoying. Just someone I know that even if I really explore her personality thoroughly, even if I knew her for 100 years I just wouldnt like her. She's the type of person who stayed in the highschool mode forever. She still has highschool drama, and she was bitching about going to Capital University bc her parents wouldnt pay for her to go to a better school. Uhm yeah. STFU, Capital is a private institution.

    Anyways the fun part of the night was when her friend ran into the movie theater as we were closing and told Amber SOMEONE was spreading rumors that Amber was sleeping with her boyfriend.(gasp!!) I was trying so hard not to laugh. Her friend kept going on and on crying "Why would someone want to ruin our friendship!" and then she's like "Adam (Im guessing her boyfriend) is going to leave me now because he doesnt like being accused of stuff!! Waaah!" so in mid tears our manager comes down and tells her she needs to leave immediately because she was disturbing my training LMAO!!

    That was funny to me, but then again I am evil.

    Im going to try to find a better job today.

    Current Mood: sad

    This quarter has been complete hell.

    hell in a handbasket.

    I didnt like any of my professors and that made the 3 months REALLY drag. But it's over, and Im freaking ECSTATIC! I cannot freaking wait to move on!!! I have ONE more exam (history) and it's not until the 9th, so I have PLENTY of time to study.

    Next quarter Im HOPEFULLY taking

    bio 102
    classics 222
    international studies 201

    nothing really exciting, 2 GECs and 1 Major requirement, but next quarter Im going to work my ass off at school. This quarter I did so horribly, I dont want to do that again. Im REALLY going to work on bringing my GPA to a 3.5

    I want to go to law school, and I'll have to have an amazing GPA to do that.

    anyways this has been like the worst week of my life but it's over and 70% of my finals are over and I couldnt be HAPPIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Current Mood: ecstatic

    oh yeah I forgot to add; Dustin and I saw "The Grudge" scary as FUCK Dustin even said it unnerved him and nothing has yet, not even the Ring. Then last night we saw the Spongebob Movie, it was AWESOME!

    Oh yeah and the reason we've been seeing so many movies, is I get free movie tickets for myself and a date from my work.

    Next week we'll see National Treasure, and then the week after that Dustin might be gone, so I'll have to see Bridget Jones 2 alone:(

    sigh. again.

    oh yeah and today we also went to the museum, and saw the Georgia O'Keefe and German Expressionists. It was pretty neat. Im not much for that art genre but there was some pre raphaelite stuff to look at too, so I was entertained enough.

    Current Mood: more pacified
    Current Music: stripped- rammstein
