I love fall

October is one of my favorite months. The weather starts getting cooler (or it should be!!! stupid hot texas) and it's the beginning of the holiday season. Or I think so anyway. Halloween is coming up which is my favorite holiday. :) I love the non stop scary movies that run on the sci fi channel (I think it's sci fi). Then Thanksgiving is around the corner, and then Christmas, and then my birthday! Yup, good time of the year.

I love it when I have good days at work. I have learned that the more I am in a helpful mood, the better my day goes. Of course you have those assholes that are going to be rude no matter what. My boss has the best outlook on that: it's to bad some people are so unhappy they have to try to ruin someone's day. That advice has proved to be helpful when some jerk is rude to me for no reason. We also got new sections at work. I am now in charge of horror (hardbacks and paperbacks) and gardening. They fit well together don't they? It's perfect I got the horror sections just in time for Halloween. :)

As far as friend situation goes from the last entry, I guess things are different and maybe better. I don't know. Some things were said that did need to be said, but I doubt they will have any long term effect. I think I already planned on not having a relationship with these people anyway from the way our friendship has been treated the past few years. Oh well. I have done all I can think to do right now. I have really good friends that I care about now anyway.

Until next time.

happy things

I need to remember to look for the good things that are happening right now.

I seriously love all the people I work with. Well, all but two. :) Everyone is hilarious so I'm laughing all day. And it never gets old to make fun of dumb and/or crazy customers. Honestly, the store brings in the crazies by the hundreds. But that just makes for even more good stories.

The older I get, the more I realize what friendships I want to keep. Age does different things to different people. One particular person is completely different from what they used to be; and not for the better. It frustrates me sooooo much, because I feel they will never be the same, good friend I once had. I refuse to be the only person who seems to care or works for this friendship anymore.

Okay, enough of that. Besides, I told myself to think of the happy things.

I think I was going somewhere else with that above paragraph, but it changed into my frustration because it's really weighing on my mind right now. But, to go back to my original thought, I am noticing who my real friends are. It sounds so cliche to say "You discover who your true friends are in a time of crisis", but it really is the truth. I am so glad that I have certain people who care about me no matter what I'm going through.

Okay, seriously. This post went in a completely different direction than I had planned on. Oh well. :)

Until next time.

So.

Here it is. Over a year later and I am writing in this thing again. I sort of got lost in the whole facebook/myspace frenzy. I would justify my lack of writing in this because I have nothing interesting to say and no one would read it and I wouldn't get any comments. But who cares? I started this thing because my friends did and it was a way to share things online. A while ago I decided I would keep it so I could go back and read my old entries every now and then. But why not use it sometimes?

Man, it's been a long time since I've written in this. I'm not sure I even remember how to change the background and whatnot. I'm making a mental note to look into it and change up some things.

I wonder sometimes how everyone from good old dc is doing. It's weird how it seems highschool was soooooo long ago, and at the same time it's not that far behind me. I do have a few friendships from dc that I want to keep. I wish I had more time to see them though!

It's weird how you were always looking forward to college. Being able to make decisions and choosing your own path. Only now, I could really go for having my class schedule handed to me and just looking forward to lunch with friends. Oh well. Live and learn.

Until next time.

I hate being sick.

I've been sick for 4 days now and been so bored doing nothing ever since. I had to miss my cousin's wedding shower because of gay illnesses. I actually wanted to go to it too. Grrrrrrr.

I'm so glad Leah is home and we can hang out some. I found out she watches Lost, so now we can watch it together! Even though the stupid season is nearly over.

Collin County Community College sucks. They have been soooo difficult and I am ready to throw my TI-83 calculator in their face. And so I don't sound like a nerd who carries her calculator everywhere, I am taking an algebra class there.

Anyway, all day I have been watching Next. A gay one just came on and it is funny to hear them call each other girlfriend. NEXT!

My cousin recently moved here to Dallas and I'm really excited to spend time with her.

I am trying to resurrect xanga, people! Ok, I can't think of anything else to say right now.

Enough.

Nearly everyone has abandoned xanga. That is sad. I am sorry to say that I have been one of them. I was reading back through my old entries. I remembered how fun it was filling in the world with what was going on and seeing what my friends would leave in comments. Now there's myspace and facebook, but it's not the same. I used to get a lot of comments and now I get like 1 or 2 an entry. Everyone has left it!

I am going to try and start updating mine more often. I hope everyone else will too!

Enough for now.

Hello all.

I am once again back at school in Oklahoma. Now I have to go back to classes all over again. I don't really want to though. Ick.

I hope every one else's Christmas was good. Mine was. I got an iPod and i am very happy with it. It is lovely.

As I was driving back to Texas from Tulsa over New Year's, my mom and I drove through a Christmas lights thing out in the middle of nowhere. Here is one of the pretty displays.

Pretty angels.

On my way home today I got stuck in the gayest traffic ever. I was sitting on the on ramp to 35 from 190 for an hour. It sucked. It took so long that I even got out my laptop and watched 30 minutes of Seven. But we finally got moving. Some where close to the state line, I was driving next to this semi-truck and noticed something hanging off of the side of it. Yes, I took a picture.

Now this appears to be Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars. He was just hanging and waving at me in the wind.

Oh another surprising thing on my drive was that I saw Nathan as I was driving! It was somewhere in the middle of Oklahoma and so random.

When I finally arrived back at OC I was so happy to get out of the car. I got to my room and it was so pretty since I had cleaned it really well before I left. So, I decided to take pictures. This is long overdue since I am now starting my second semester of college.

Here is my bed and dresser.

And here of course is my desk and closet.

Well I do believe I am done for this entry.

9 days.

It's snowing!

I love this weather. Sure it is cold, but it is so gorgeous outside. Our campus looks pretty; especially at night. There are Christmas lights all over the trees and part of the chapel in the forum. Christan and I ran around in the middle leaving footsteps in the snow. There are also lights over by the University House. I love it!

I walked to class today in the snow. I love it when you get snow in your hair. When you get back inside, you can get in your bed and cuddle up under the covers.

Yay for snow.

Hello.

Halloween was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it this year. I went to a haunted house for the first time! Here are some pictures from my scary night!

Here is Becky, Molly K, and Jessica.

Nathan is posing!

Danny and I. As you can tell by my expression, he caught me off gaurd!

Cool, artsy picture of Christan and I. My hair looks shiny.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures. These were all taken while we stood in line for the haunted house. It was a fun night!

Enough.
