Playing: "Killer in the Cradle" - Tornacade

You have to hear this band.  They are from Meade County (where I live) and rock.  They don't have a record deal yet, but they will, trust me.  Their website is http://www.tornacade.net .  Go to it in a little while.  It snew right now so doesn't have a lot on it.  They just came out with an independent CD called The Way We Mourn.  If you want one, let me know and I'll try to get you one.  They're 8 bucks.

So anyway, Steven and I broke up after 7 months.  Maybe it was the distance, maybe it was just me.  Who knows?  I wasn't happy, I wasn't making him happy, it wasn't going anywhere but down the drain.  I miss him, but that's life.  Life sucks and I've learned to deal with it.  So, back in the dating scene.  Blah.  There's one in particular I have my eye on who has his eye on me, but we'll see.  He will remain anonymous for the time being.  We've only been talking for like 2 weeks and I don't want to jump to conclusions.

Work is work.  Its money that I need to pay for the car that isn't so great anyway.  Its a 2000 Mazda Protege.  Its silver.  It could be worse, but the front wheel alignment is messed up and I don't feel like getting it fixed.  I get my license next Friday even though I could have got it at the beginning of the month.  Mom is freaking out that I'm going to die in a car crash.  I don't blame her, but why can't she just be normal?  Every other mom understands that their kid is going to have to drive someday anyway.  When I turn 18 she can't stop me.  But, she's letting me get my license next Friday because she's tired of taking me and Nicole to work so I am now the taxi.

Well, got to go.

Hey Mike!!!  I'm glad you still read these things!  I'll comment on your weblog on more personal things or e-mail you.

Playing: "Where Are You Now?" - Trisha Yearwood

I forgot to mention in my last weblog that I have a job now.  I've been working at Wendy's in Radcliff for a month and a half and I absolutely love it!  I have made so many friends there.  I even work with this guy I went to school with in 6th grade at Fort Knox.  That is one of the reasons why writing in this has been kind of hard to keep up with.  My boss, Steve, works me ALOT.  Last week alone I worked 22 hours.  That's not bad for only having been working there for a month and having less seniority.  This one guy has been working there for six months and is lucky if he gets over ten hours a week.  Anyway, I really like my job.  I started on the register three weeks into work, so I get to deal with people alot.  That is really cool.  This one deaf guy comes in all the time.  He always gets a #6 (Spicy Chicken) Biggie sized with a fruit punch.  He even taught me how to say thank you in sign language.  The one thing I don't like as much is having to close because we don't get to go home until one o'clock in the morning.  I usually close Friday nights.  It's tiring, but fun at the same time.  We set up a big stereo and listen to music while we clean, so its not so bad. 

Enough about that.  Steven comes home the 21st of this month!  He is in the Air Force and has been stationed in Texas since August 27th.  I haven't seen him in that long!  But, he calls every weekend and on holidays.  We write letters constantly.  I am so blessed to have him.  You have no idea how happy he makes me.  I was afraid that I couldn't be strong, but I even surprise myself sometimes!  I still cry, but I know that if it is meant to be, it is meant to be.  We are both willing to give this everything we have.  I'm giddy!

We were let out of school early today.  We left at 10:15.  The reason?  It has been snowing since 9 o'clock!!! Yeah!  We already know there is no school tomorrow.  Right now it is a wintry mix of sleet and snow.  The roads are very dangerous.  Dad got into a wreck on the way to work.  He only dinged up the back end of the minivan.  I had to call into work because the only vehicle mom and I had was our small little S-10 that has no traction.  We would have wrecked off the bat had we gone.  I hated calling in, but Steve understood. 

Well, I'm going to get off and read Mike's weblog!

It has been so long since I have written in this thing!  I don't even know if anyone really read them to begin with.  It used to be a good way to get my feelings out.  It didn't really matter that people could or would read it.  I never have been good at keeping with journals. 

I'm still with Steven.  He's wonderful.  We've been together for four and a half months.  He has been away in Texas in the Air Force for a while.  That stinks.  He's coming home the 21st of December and he goes back the 4th.  It was tough at first, but it has gotten easier.

Volleyball season has obviously been over for a while.  We had a good season I suppose.  I'm just excited about being a senior next year.  Then, I'm out of here!

Well, I guess I'll go.

Thank you so much for all of the sympathy.  The hardest part was burying my friend on my birthday.  I'm doing alot better.  I've been trying to be there for Jeremy as much as I can.  He's doing ok, but it was a hard blow for him.  They loved one another so much.  It's so sad to see him withering away like he is.  He's such a dear friend.  So was Vannah.  I know she's somewhere better. 

Nothing much has been happening since Vannah's death.  I talk to Jeremy every once in awhile.  I talk to Steven everyday.  We start school back tomorrow.  I'm excited about that.  Well, not much else to say.  I have volleyball in a little while.
