Good Ole Days...
So my family is currently in the process of cleaning our garage - we basically took EVERYTHING out, painted it, and installed new lighting, and now are piecing together what goes back in the garage, and what gets to be thrown away.

Needless to say, I have a LOT of stuff. Boxes from college, and even from high school. So looking through a bunch of shoeboxes full of high school stuff I come across the following:
- Lots of notes and letters... which I think is crazy considering NO ONE passes notes or writes letters to each other in high school anymore. Seriously think about it. With everyone on Facebook and Myspace, no one does this! Isn't that crazy?
- Old Christmas/birthday cards. The best thing was looking through an old stack of Christmas/birthday cards from my 16th birthday, and finding a 20 dollar bill inside! NO JOKE. It's one of those old school 20s! And to think I was just gonna throw it in the trash!
- A ticket stub to Titanic, which was like $7.25 for a movie. So cheap back then!
- An *NSYNC ticket stub when Notre Dame won the Bomb concert!
- Cheers from Spirit Week, and calendars for cheerleading practices! No joke, Spirit Week was such a big deal back then!
- An invite to Bellarmine's Block B dance. Haha... hilarious.
- Old report cards. Some good... and some not so good.
- An old ad for pagers! (7415 8803 1773 781164 50 48120!)
- Old programs from BellarDame PCNs. We looked so young!
Anyway, after throwing away a LOT of junk these past days, I'm still keeping a few goodies, and hopefully placing it in a scrapbook or something. Aaah, the memories.

Thankful.

WARNING: This one's a mushy one. Read at your own risk.
So I had the privilege of hanging out with a friend who I consider a friend, but never really realized really had my back until today. The coolest thing is that this is the 2nd time (that I can recall) that this friend has stood up for me, so thank God for that...
Anyway, for the past few months since my breakup, I've felt lost, out of the loop, excluded, and pretty much exiled (is there a nice way to put that feeling? probably not)... Throughout it all, I felt a bit of anger towards those friends who I thought had "chosen sides." I mean we all know how these things work: a couple breaks up, lines are drawn, and people pretty much choose where they wanna be.
I had thought that these friends had chosen their sides. But damn, isn't it funny that when you think you have your mind made up about certain things, that you get slapped in the face with a dose of reality?
Today I saw reality - I realized how lucky I am to have these individuals in my life, and that despite the odds, they cared enough to have my back, stand up for me, and still be my friends despite "opposition."
So I just wanted to say to those friends, THANK YOU. And I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world to have your friendship.

"I'm full of hot, fiery anger!"

...one of my favorite lines from Zoolander above. haha...

But seriously, this past month, I have been having some crazy anger issues, and coming to grips with a few "realities" that I wish weren't so. My problem is, I don't know how to deal with it sometimes. I've come to grips with the fact that I am a highly emotional, territorial person, and I think because of that, some of my feelings lead me towards ANGER. I keep joking to my BFF that we should take a girls' kickboxing class because I have all this pent-up emotion, and really I don't know how to get rid of it.

And lately, it's gotten so bad that I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes because I have so much emotion.
While I would like to hope that these feelings magically go away, I still haven't found a "healthy" way of releasing all these crappy feelings in my life... it's like I'm a female Hulk, waiting to transform, bust out, and kick some freaken beezie ass...

If anyone reads this, what do you suggest? How should I deal with my anger issues?

The Fine Art of Cougarism

So last weekend, a very near and dear to me Ading (who shall be unnamed but whose name rhymes with Shmarlos) called me a COUGAR. And when he said this to me, I wasn't sure if I was insulted or touched. Probably moreso the latter.. haha.

I've never really noticed that I'm one of the "older" people of the group that I hang out with, and this weekend didn't help with that, being LanternFest. I mean I was literally thrust back into the times of setting up booths, watching Modern performances, and of course, drinking at the Grad.

So after rubbing my junk up against younger guys who I realized were 2nd years at Poly, I had to ask myself, "Is this all to the art of Cougarism?" I think not...

Even though I'm now 25, and I'm supposed to be "more mature", I think it's okay to still be down to drink and dance in clubs and have a fun time and not be a bitch-ass, as Jay says.

So for those cougars out there, or cougars-in-training, I salute you. *salute*

Charlie's Road to Recovery

*Btw, if you're squeamish (like JAY) then don't read this entry...*

Today, Kevin and I took Charlie to the vet after I found out on Monday that Charlie had blood in his urine. Kawawa chihuahua for sure! I was really worried, so we took him to our neighborhood vet, and they did a check up and did lots of tests. They had to get urine from him, so Kev told me the procedure, which I thought was crazy painful, but he told me that everything was gonna be ok, and that they were gonna put something on the catheter to numb the pain. Basically they had to put a catheter into his penis to get a sample - poor Charlie. So yeah, he had a urine analysis and a stool test done, and he even had his nails clipped and his vaccinations updated. Poor lil guy - so many tests and even a needle - he's so brave!

The doctor was pretty awesome, and even called Charlie a "perfect patient" because he wasn't fussy or whiny. Just calm lil Charlie like always. The good thing is that he doesn't seem changed in his personality, and today, there seemed to be less blood than on Monday. So now he's on antibiotics for the week, and I'm hoping that Charlie is ok, and that the lab results will reveal whats really going on with him. Hopefully they can get back to me ASAP with his results...
