  • Wow, I am a once-a-month updater now? Sad day! Well, actually, not really. I'm cool with that. Now that I work ALL the time, I don't have anything interesting to say usually.

    My weeks are jammed packed these days.

    Mondays and Wednesdays after work I try to work out... my buddy who runs the gym in the building lets me work out there whenever I want for free. He met with me for nearly an hour Monday to set me up on a routine for what I need to be doing every time I go in. He is a professional personal trainer, so the fact that he'd freely give his time to help me out is just so cool to me, incredibly kind. Anyhoo, I'm excited about the routine... having something to do every time I go in makes me feel a lot more comfortable in the gym.. I've had some serious anxiety issues with that! 

    Tuesdays and Thursdays I still do tutoring. PrePaw is a fantastic girl, she is 12... she was shy when I first met her, but now she lets her little attitude beam... haha. And boy is it ever an attitude! I love it. I don't get off work til 6, so I'm half an hour late to tutoring every day we have it.. she always makes sure to give me a dirty look for that right off the bat, but we have such a good time together for the half an hour I do get to work with her. And I really think she's learning. Well, I hope so at least!

    I've also been getting to know a boy, his name is Bryan Bendawald. I think that's a pretty strong name. Anyway, I met him online (gasp) and we met for really real a few weeks ago. I suppose he's the "boyfriend" now. I like him, whatever he's called. Right now I'm just spending time with him.. and not too much at that. But the time we do get to hang out is good! Ish GoOod. Sunday is his birthday, so I get to tour around with him and meet his families this weekend. That should be fun.

    I had a tooth extracted yesterday, so I'm on vicodin today. Its really been a miserable couple of days. I hate being in pain, and I hate feeling dizzy from drugs. Bleh. One more day of pained, drugged work left and then I get to enjoy my weekend. Its about time

    This is William Fitzsimmons. He's crazy good. ^_^

    I saw him last weekend with Erin.

    Here are words to a song by him.

     "Mend Your Heart"

    She is like the water where i clean my baby
    floating from the front into the back to keep me
    warm enough to cover me from getting chilly
    cool enough to hide me from the heat

    She is like a splinter that i caught in my toe
    running from the dog that chases me
    sharp enough to teach a lesson that i must learn
    soft enough to never make me bleed

    and i will find will you there
    and i will mend your heart
    and i will find you there
    and i will mend your heart

    She is like a cigarette inside an ashtray
    nothing but a fire sets her free
    filling up my lungs until my body needs her
    holding on so i can never breathe

    She is like a gravestone sitting in the church yard
    crooked from the ground in which she sleeps
    whispering my name until i go to meet her
    underneath the ground she finds her peace.

     

     

     

    ... other random things::: my heart is in a weird place. my work is getting easier, but i still have my off days. my body is exhausted. i'm tutoring two days a week- it is challenging and scary for me, but my girl is really great. i'm going to look at houses for rent with erin, andrea, and carol this weekend... i feel like there is nobody better for me to live with than them. i want to go home.

  • My new job hurts my brain... and it makes my family talk to me like I'm a grown-up. Both of those things make me uncomfortable. But I like it, and soon enough I'll get it down... especially when I can just be there and not be going back and forth between the cafe and the PT office.

    I'm going with Chelle for her final fitting today. I can hardly wait. I haven't seen her in her dress at all... *Sigh*.. I will wear waterproof mascara just in case.

    I'm really cold right now, but I'm eating the world's most delicious banana. Too bad for the rest of you, I got the best one ever.

    I filled out an Eharmony profile for kicks n giggles. According to their personality profile, I'm right down the middle for everything-- a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but I am a FULL BLOWN procrastinator. Ha. I'm totally serious, too. That's what it says. Hehe, I'll use the age-old excuse, I'm an artist! We do amazing things, but we do them when we want

    I love folk music ^_^

  • Hello, friends.

    Today is a relaxing day for me... even if I wanted to do filing in the cafe, I can't because I'm still waiting on charts.

    So you get an update ^_^

    Okay, first things first... be excited... get ready for this...

    I got a GOOD job!! The physical therapy place (Heritage) just hired me on Full Time!! I had my interview yesterday and they started training me right away. I'll be doing reception and coding and billing stuff... I have lots to learn. I really like the people, and Dan the boss is the nicest ever! They're gonna pay me 10.50 an hour (3 bucks more than the cafe!!) and benefits start the first of July ^_^

    I have to stay at the cafe til they find a replacement. Duuuuumb. If only Heritage and OA weren't business partners... anyway I'll start full time at Heritage in the next few weeks I hope.

    They made me promise not to leave. Haha! So I'll be looking into UMSL this week, for night or weekend classes. I definitely don't plan on full-time student status, but a couple classes should be just right for the fall.

    As for the summer, I'm planning on working with a group of people to tutor Burmese children in the South City area a few times a week. Part of it will be art-based curriculum... which is right up my alley and exactly what I've been considering as a career. I could not be more excited!

    Oh, and I decided on two things I'm going to save up for. A memory foam mattress (this one will be ASAP!) and a digital SLR. The camera is for Scotland ^_^ The bed is just for sleeping comfort. Mmm. I want it RIGHT NOW!

    ok that's all I have for the moment...

  • You know what's weird?

    I spend 70% of my time defending myself to people... my thoughts, actions, heart... etc... And I just realized right now that that time is actually spent mostly defending myself to me.

    I'm (almost) an open book. I tell a lot of people a lot of things. I describe in detail. I give every bit of history I know. I explain my entire thought process and each little event along way.

    Then, after hearing my description of whatever situation I'm in, my friends will comment. Since I'm usually being stupid (I will deny it then, but not now) the comment is usually something like "That's stupid." My automatic response is, "they don't know, really." BUT, they do! Because I make sure they do! Their views are based off of MY words. So, I think that their views are actually my views and I just keep it a secret from myself.

    Its like a math problem I'm working on in my head, I have all the variables and I know the formulas, but I just ignore the answer all together. And just like a math problem, if I tell someone else all the information I have they can figure it out just the same as I would. But I get stuck on the solution, because if I even have the nerve to try and work through the numbers, I find answers I don't like and I keep trying to work something else out of it...

    Its as if I think the solution isn't directly related to the problem! Isn't that WEIRD?! Not everything is as subjective as I'd like to think. Generally there is a simple truth... especially if all the people I explain myself to have the same sort of answers for me. But I just keep on trying to change the outcome by doing the same thing over and over.

    I think, most likely, that this qualifies me as a Crazy.

    Just thought I'd share.

    @cindatha - haha! you are too funny. I LOVED my so called life. I wanna watch. I think I will check that out. Mm.. Jared Leto. Sometimes I watch Requiem just to see him... its so depressing but visiting with Jared makes up for it.
  • cindatha
    I logged on to sign your guestbook, but couldn't find it.  So, this is the next best thing!!  I've been watching "My So Called Life" episodes on abc online so that I can see Jared Leto.  Pathetic...  It's not my fault 30 Seconds hasn't come out with a new album.  Maybe he should stop playing whacked
