| Hey there dusty journal.
News since last time:
I got my seizures officially documented through the university. This allows me extra absences and tardies. It rocks.
I will graduate in May of 2010. It will have taken 6 years, but that includes 2 changes of major, 2 studio changes, 2 semester resignations, 1 semester off from an injury, and several D's and F's from a previously unknown disorder. So, I actually think I made pretty damn decent time.
I have an amazing boyfriend named Michael. We met through some mutual friends at the Catholic Student Center... but he's not Catholic. To me, this isn't really news-- we've been dating for almost 10 months now. This is by far my longest relationship, and most meaningful. We are serious, and we talk about marriage a lot now. While I don't always comprehend his family relationships, on occasion we all get along. I know I've always envisioned my future hubby to have a family that is, well, "normal"... white... and not broken. Michael's family is none of those things, and it has taken some getting used to, but they've grown on me. I thought we were going on a date this one time last year before we were together, and Michael pretty much did everything wrong... showed up late, answered the cell phone (and talked to another girl!), harumphed at marriage, had the Catholic vs. Protestant conversation with his buddy... but we later went on our first date and it was all cuteness. We ate at Chili's and saw the movie Shutter (oh it was awful) and he was a perfectly respectable gentleman. The following weekend we went to the Houston Zoo and ate dinner at Ruggles, and shared our first kiss under the stars behind his house in Magnolia. From then on, we've been officially dating. NASCAR, a haunted house, an NHL game, REPO! the Genetic Opera premiere, countless movies, cemetaries at night, and a snowball fight include just some of our adventures. He has visited my mom's house twice and my dad's house twice. He had to spend the night at my mom's both times since it is so far away-- oh boy, and the first time he went there, he acted SO awkward! He refused any kind of service from my mom or stepdad (you know, like a drink refill), he was untalkative, etc. I even ended up crying in his room because I thought he was angry with me for taking my brother, whom I barely ever see, along to the Texas Motor Speedway tour. Michael was pretty brave, though-- he swam for the first time! And drowned. Just kidding!
I'll never forget my dad's first words to him: "So, Michael... what the fuck?" He was asking about his intentions with me, but instead he freaked Michael out for a while. It was classic.
I don't think my brother likes Michael very much. The two of them are very different, and I sense Danny is jealous-- both of my attention, and that he doesn't have a girlfriend. It's depressing.
Now on to school stuff. I had a very emotional beginning of the semester. Here's what happened:
Monday-- late to class because of a seizure and chewed out; the only class I was looking forward to was canceled for the semester
Tuesday-- late to class because of ANOTHER seizure; cried in class because my prof was so mean
Wednesday-- Doomsday. Lane kicked me out of the percussion studio forever. It was awful because my previous teacher, Mr. Bell, wouldn't stand up for me. I went to a secluded area of campus and cried. Without a studio, you can't graduate as a music major. I visited with our department chair, and he told me he was proud of me for sticking with it and to set up an audition to switch to voice. I still haven't done that, but it's in the works. While this was all going down, I saw Dr. Murphy in the hallway-- and she saw the look on my face. She smiled at me and exclaimed, "We need to talk!" She was referring to an email I had sent to her. Later on, she told me I could help her with research and grading papers, and she invited me to enroll in her graduate course. I was psyched! She agreed to put on my applications that I was her assistant. Unfortunately, as cool as that news was, it was after the horrible news earlier that day, so I felt sick to my stomach.
Last week, I quit band for good. I didn't need it, and the department chair told me I didn't have to stay in. Debra (the director now-- my old friend) is mad and holding a grudge, which sucks because she is in my grad class. Ugh.
So, with all that said... I'M FREE, MOTHERFUCKERS!!! I NEVER have to deal with Mr. Lane EVER again! I'm FREE! Free free free free free!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!! I swear, playing percussion ruined my life twice. Never, ever again unless it's for fun.
I was sick all day today (err, Sunday). I missed Mass. I'm not sure what upset my stomach so badly. Oh, and...
ARBY'S OPENED TODAY!!! Holy crap, a new place in Huntsville!! Who'da thunk!!! I'm thinking ARBY'S.
Otherwise, hockey rules, trichotillomania sucks, bring on the bachelor's degree. | comments: Leave a comment   |

| Patrick and I just had a fight. I feel like shit. It's all my fault.
Edit: This is significant because we have never fought before. It wasn't really a huge argument or anything, but I broke a promise last night (never walk away/hang up upset or angry) and he felt lousy all day as if I had taken advantage of his emotions. Then he threatened to never talk to me again if I ever did it again, which completely sent me over the edge. Two men in my life have done that in the past, and I just burst into tears when he said that. He apologized like two seconds later and said he honestly could never do that because he cares for me too much.... and NOW.... (next post) | | comments: Leave a comment |

If you're the praying type, please say a prayer for him and his family.... otherwise just keep them in your thoughts. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| For serial. Summertime sucks.
I'm SO stressed about ensemble placement auditions on Thursday. I know I'll pull out a good audition, but will it be good enough? Lane just HAD to bring in a bunch of all-state kids. Which was a dumbass move to begin with, because there isn't enough room in the ensembles for us, yet we are required to be in them?? Stupid. I'm going to talk to the wind ensemble director on Monday about playing piano in there. That should help my chances.
My great uncle is dying. And, of course, I can't go because of auditions. Sometimes I hate being a music major.
I turned in my resumé for the music minister job at my church. It is down to myself and Kelsey, a music therapy major. Frankly I am more qualified, but she is one of those die-hard conservatives that knows EVERYTHING about catholic theology, and she sends Joe (potential future boss) cards and shit all the time.
I just wish this week was overwith. I want school to start so I can have a normal schedule, and friends everywhere. I'm sure I'll be cursing myself for saying this later, but oh well. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| HOKAY, so!
I saw my department chair this morning and he excused me completely from marching band for the semester. PRAISE GOD. I'm serious though, it would have been hell on earth for me, so someone must be looking out for me up there.
My NEW problem is that I have to somehow obtain enough marching band credit to graduate, and being excused two years in a row puts me in a rocky position. I may have to ask if doing four years of CHOIR, which was NOT required of me, can suffice. I suggest two semesters of choir = 1 semester of marching band, badda bing badda boom, then I only have to do it one or two (groan) more times instead of three. I'm going to see the marching band director in the morning to quite literally beg him for some kind of behind-the-scenes job so that I can gather my credit that way. Otherwise, the ensemble switcheroo will have to suffice. I'm sure they'll understand...
I was BLOWN AWAY by how my percussion instructor took the news. I was expecting him to throw one of his hissy fits, but he was very supportive. Again... Praise God!!
This may have been a blessing in disguise. Now I have enough time resourses to work at the CSC. That would be AWESOME! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| It's so hard to hold onto your faith when it seems like it fails. I mean, why is it that I have daily asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue, and so forth, while others look so much happier and healthier? You know what I eat every day? Celery. And some turkey slices, and water and coffee and the occasional Diet Coke w/ Splenda. Raw veggies and skim milk. But I don't lose a pound. Why? It's in my genes. It just breaks my heart that the vaaaaaast majority of people truly believe that that just isn't possible. Of COURSE people don't get fat because of their GENES, right? Well, I can imagine why they feel this way. Most fat lazy bitches cry GENES when it's really an eating disorder. Truth be told, people... the problem really, really does exist. My doctors, after years of working with them (no, not TWO years.. try TEN) all agree that bariatric surgery (aka gastric bypass) is the best possible decision for me. Except, my insurance doesn't pay for it, and yes, we have appealed and been denied. My parents don't have a spare 20 thousand dollars lying around, so I just have to live with it. Isn't that spiffy.
I want this surgery more than anything, and it isn't for cosmedic reasons. I KNOW I'm cute, and so do the boys. You big girls out there-- you know what I'm talking about. I have soooo many health disorders related to my weight. Of course, I was born with some of them, which ultimately caused my weight gain over the years, but most are the result of obesity. Living every day and going to school and working has become a nightmare.
It is soooooo easy to feel sorry for ourselves. God has a reason for everything. I really don't know the reason for this one, and I would rather not guess. I do know, however, that my relationship with Him is stronger than ever, and I have faith that He knows what He is doing. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Yeah okay. Here goes.
Fall 2004: My first semester. Lots of friends. Immediately forgot high school (haha!). Learned the hard way that missing class is a no-no. Had a boyfriend named Wayne. He was clingy. Dumped him in December. Decided to switch from musical theatre major to music education major, but was not accepted into vocal program because of the whole missing-a-lot-of-class thing. Sigh.
Spring 2005: Second semester. Umm.... lol I don't remember. A lot of tears b/c of the whole vocal thing. LOVED my roommate Alicia.
Fall 2005: Third semester. First semester as a percussion major. Marching band was crazy fun. Injured my arm from overplaying. Made Wind Ensemble. Had the hugest crush on my friend, Ben. Yep...
Spring 2006: Fourth semester. Arm injury (which turns out to be Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, btw) worsens. I'm told it is permanent and must switch majors... again. Lame. Awesome percussion ensemble concert. Crush on Ben dies hard (haha!)
Summer 2006: Full-time job at Cheesecake Factory. Oh child, save me. I quit so fast when school was in sight.
Fall 2006: Switched temporarily to Biology major and take only one music class (instead of eleven, lol). Find out at the end that my arm injury is something totally different and it is repaired thru therapy in THREE WEEKS. Ugh.
Spring 2007: Welcomed back with open arms (all except the *new* percussion instructor) to music. Kicked some ass except the perc instructor dislikes me strongly to this day for just jumping back into the major. WTF, mate.
Summer 2007: Summer school, all A's bitches! Oh and I went through three boys. Yes, boys, not men, because they are wimpy sissy bitches. One blamed me for a DRINKING PROBLEM (WTF??) and the other two went back to ex girlfriends after sleeping with me. Meh.
Yep, there's a whooooooole lot between the lines but I really don't feel like goin nuts. So here I am, still thick and beautiful (hellz yeah) and missing Michigan like hell because I CAN NEVER GO ANYMORE !#$%^&* Sorry Megan. Life is crazeh. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| I had forgotten alllllllll about this old journal. Silly college...
What to say? I think I may need a few hours to really think about everything that has happened since I came to college before I start talking about it. Dang... I wonder if any of my old LJ friends still remember me?
More to come... | | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment |

| I spent most of today sitting around, randomly cleaning, etc. I don't really know what pushed me to do it, but I gave Angela a call and got a ride from her to church. This time I didn't sing. After mass I met Kelsey and her boyfriend in the CSC and we all ate sweet and sour chicken-- actually, it was chicken nuggets in vegetables with soy sauce, but it was yummy. Ping pong was hilarious! I can't remember when I last played and it was a freakin blast. Well during the crazy fun Tristian asked me if I would be the pianist starting next fall!!! I'm still shocked. Just the other day I was talking about how I've never had a real 'gig' playing an instrument at church, even though I've sung before, and bam! Maybe that's why I was feeling the need to go to church today. Everything happens for a reason, right?
Afterward, Kelsey drove me home and Kalenn came over so I could help her with piano. I'm not with her in class anymore, but she says she is learning more than before since there is nobody to tell her "what note to start on." hahaha well during the 'lesson' Jamie called and asked if I was in my apartment. Weird eh? Well I said yes and two seconds later he was knocking on my door. He and Matt had been downstairs helping Lindsey set up her computer and she mentioned that I live here, so they visited for a little while. They loved my place, especially the entertainment center and foosball table and couch... hehehehe. This place really does look nice, but it's just a shame the management sucks so bad.
Talk about a random day! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | So I've promised myself that I will finally update this bitch before Tuesday. This is a really tough task... *falls asleep* | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I'm sorry Journal. I love you. Forgive me for not updating before...
In the very last week of school-- finals week-- Alisha called me and basically said she wouldn't be able to pay for school anymore and therefore will not be coming back next year... thus, she won't be my roommate.
Just so everyone here knows, this is probably the 8th person that bailed on me, but this is the absolute worst. She should have known this months ago, yet she drew it out till mid May. Not cool.
Needless to say, I was pissed.
She then went on to say that hey boyfriend, Cody, had done the same thing to his future roommate! So of course I think it's all lies and that they are planning on running away together. Whatever. So his dissed roommate-- Krista-- yes, a girl-- calls me and says hey lets room together. Well considering the fact that I had put down the deposit on my apartment but this girl hadn't and therefore was homeless, I said fine. She seems nice enough.
Well it turns out that this girl JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. I asked how in the world she was getting away with rooming in an apartment her freshman year, and she told me that since she lives and works within 60 miles of Huntsville, she was able to sign a waiver saying she will commute. WELL SHE ISN'T COMMUTING, SHE'S JUST LIVING OFF-CAMPUS. I don't know why this pisses me off so much, but it does. But now, I have blackmail material. If she manages to piss me off enough, I just have to report what she is doing and she'll either be kicked out of school or sent to a dorm, and since the uber-nice ones like SHV will be full, she would be deported to the likes of Belvin. I'm not trying to insult anyone that lives or has lived in Belvin, I'm just saying that it will be a BIG change from a beautiful apartment with privacy to a tight-space dorm with no kitchen and a shared bathroom between four people.
Maybe I'm being too offensive, but so much has gone wrong at this damn school in the past two semesters and I am fed up with this kind of crap. Perhaps Krista is a really nice girl and we will become great friends, but I am nervous because she has never lived in a place other than her house-- AND she has a serious boyfriend. MAYBE she is a good girl that won't annoy me by having sex with her boyfriend all the time... we'll see. We shall see.
She lives and works in The Woodlands, so she will be going home all the time. Just like Kimberly did... (for those that don't know, Kim was my roommate during my first semester at Sam. She was never around and I was very lonely, to the point where I got in a relationship just for the company)
Am I being paranoid? | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Last night I was feeling pretty bored and lonely since most of my friends decided to go home. Alicia invited me to go to Anna's apartment for a sleepover with her small group, but just as I was putting my shoes on, Seth instead messaged me with a crisis- Denise was coming to his house! Apparently she called him when she was already a few minutes from his house and said HEY! I guess I'll come over! ^^ So at first I figured with him, well what can I possibly do about it? We agreed that I could come over and it might be less weird for him, since he would be alone in his house with her. This girl is seriously psycho... YES I like Seth, but I would have done this for any of my friends. Soooo I hopped in my car after getting directions and I soon as I got there I called him to make sure it was the right house- I didn't want to walk into some stranger's home! Anyway he let me in and I could see some relief come off his shoulders. I actually carried a nice conversation with Denise, with her occasional slants toward Seth while he was standing in the room of course. I laughed a couple of times just from being shocked that she was saying such things to somebody she considers her friend. Eventually she went to sleep... in Seth's bed... so Seth and I listened to music and watched trailers for the upcoming Final Fantasy movie and basically goofed off for a while. One of his friends from Baytown, Tom, who goes to University of Houston called because he was having problems in his relationship, and I actually got to talk to Tom for a while. Seth always seems impressed with how well I get along with everyone I meet. Anyway we started watching Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (can you tell we are nerds?) and out stormed Denise, totally eating both our faces without even saying a word. Seth asked her to watch the movie with us but she just went outside and slammed the door. He wondered if he should call her but I said just wait till tomorrow, she's mad enough as it is and will probably crash if she gets on the phone. Anyway we finished the movie... at four in the morning! We had completely lost track of time and I was incredibly tired. It was cute because we were trying to wake me up for the drive back but I was having some trouble. He said I could stay the night... I don't know what made me leave, but I did and he stayed on the phone with me the whole way so I would stay awake. I actually had a little bit of car trouble on the way home, like the phone started burning my hand and I saw heat fumes coming out of the front and back of my car. Everything turned out ok though, and I got home safely.
I can't wait to go to Seth's house again :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Holy crap I'm 19 years old. Only one more year and.. and... *gasp*.... I'll be OLD!!!
Anyway, my birthday freakin rocked :) I brought some brownies to theory class and I was paranoid something would go wrong, like somebody would find a hair in one of them or something, but of course that didn't happen. I figured all the girls would hold back and be, well, girly about eating, but they were the first ones to grab them! It was freakin cool. Somebody suggested singing happy birthday in sol fege (how appropriate) but no one could figure it out in five seconds, so Bernard yelled "And now for the BLACK version!" and he and Erion actually did it.. even Darrell joined in! I must have turned completely red because I know everyone else was pink just from laughing, including Mr. Herrington! Aww it was so much fun. I didn't have any more classes for the day since I took the piano final last week and choir is overwith, so I went back to the dorm.
As I was in the hallway of SHV I saw Alicia and told her I was planning on going to Main Event with the choir later that night, and she immediately was all like WHEN?? WHAT TIME?? So of course I knew something was up... so when Kalenn invited me over later on I said no because I figured Alicia was planning something. Well apparently that was part of the plan so that they could decorate while I was away, but noooo :) So as I was watching some TV, the door burst open and in came Alicia, Jonathan, Kalenn, Kristina, and... Seth! I must say the last one was a surprise. I found out later that he had driven from home thirty minutes to come see me. At first I felt a little weird, as if it were REALLY obvious that I like him... BUT... it was explained that several others were invited but couldn't come last minute. He didn't seem to mind at all. So we all hung out and fooled around till Alicia and Jon had to go to the BSM for some meeting, so I headed to Kalenn and Kristina's dorm and Seth left to go to a study group for a while. While it was just the three girls, we got Kalenn's older friend to buy some rum for us, and we picked up Des and headed back to the dorm. I went ahead and started drinking and was already feeling a buzz by the time Seth called. We met him outside in the cold and waited till the RA's were gone, then snuck back in. For the next few hours we goofed off and joked around and played guitar and watched the Rockets and Spurs games. Des finally cheaped out so Seth drove Des and I back home-- I had to sit in the middle of the front seat, and Seth drives a stick, so every time he shifted... hello! teehee :)
I woke up with a very small hangover the next morning but this was probably because I only slept for a few hours. Kalenn asked me if I had a headache in musicianship, and when I said yes she just smiled and turned back around.
Anyway, quite the memorable birthday! Thanks guys!! | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| Yesterday was one of the coolest days I've had these past two semesters at college. Too bad it's almost over for the summer and none of my closer friends here live near my hometown!
In theory class, I asked Seth about his new and updated demo for one of his bands and he handed me his cell phone to program my number into, saying we should hang out. Sweeeeeet. Of course the cello girl hit on him (again) but I didn't even think twice about it. Seth thinks it's a joke, BURN!!! So we all had fun for the rest of class, as usual, and afterward I took my piano final and got an A.
As soon as I got back to my dorm, Seth called! He invited me to go hang out with him while he sifted rock samples in the advanced geology lab while listening to his new demo and some other music and stuff. Now of course, it's very important to play hard to get, but I never go overboard with it, so I decided to go for an hour instead of two. I got there and his demo rocked and I asked him to burn it for me, so he was beaming. His friend, Amber, also came over for a little bit and she was really cool. Seth actually said later on that he thought we were previously friends because of how we were interacting so easily... I get that a lot, haha. She left though, and Lee came in and they talked about this girl Denise and how she likes Seth and craves attention and is controlling of him... and lo and behold, in she came. What an annoying girl! I don't feel competitive at all with her, but at one point she slapped Seth on the face and if I wasn't so passive-aggressive I woulda knocked the bitch down! Seth and I exchanged smug looks the entire time ;) Well after staying for two and a half hours, Seth and Lee gave me a ride to the Walker center where I met up with Kalenn and Christina and laid out in the sun for an hour and a half. Those girls crack me up. We started talking about really sexual stuff and I said something reeeaaaalllly bad (about sodomy) while some old couple passed us! Teehee...
I then met Seth at the recital hall to see the percussion recital and it was actually pretty good! He's such a cool friend to be around, always making me laugh. We didn't really have anything to do afterward so we told each other stories and went back to my room to watch some TV. Awesome good time :D
I feel like I have the coolest friends in the world, and it's going to be hard to leave for the summer since barely any of them live close to my hometown... BUT... I have some of the coolest friends in the world already waiting for me back in Katy! I guess I'll just have to invite people like Alicia and Kalenn and Seth over from time to time. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Yesterday was our Elijah show (the biggest show of my singing career) and yes, it freaking owned. I don't remember any CELL PHONES-- the FIRST time EVER that that has been the case, in ANY show I have EVER done. Amazing. That in itself is a blessing from God. There was one happy baby that made noise maybe twice, but it was never during the chorus parts, so I was like.. meh. Alicia and the gang came along, too, which kicked ass. Some guy affiliated with the church got up during intermission and made an impromtu speech about joining the church and how "great things are happening" there and even passed around collection plates... yeah, we chose the church as a performance space, not as a church. That was really inappropriate. Get over yourself. I swear, southern Baptists are all about passing around the collection plates... Otherwise, great show guys, fantastic job!
So rewinding to the "hour" rehearsal before the show that really lasted for an hour and a half... Alisha and I went to her house and had some FOOD which rocks because real food is good. I managed to spill milk all over her carpet, and as soon as we cleaned it up, she spilled her water... such klutzes! On the way back to the show, for which we were already running late, some lady ran up to my car at a stoplight and told me that I had a flat tire! Noooooo!! I was so freaked out that I didn't even take the time to thank her. Hopefully she knows. What's really weird is that I had noticed my car driving a little funny since the night before, driving from Spring to Huntsville after a dress rehearsal. It felt like there was a lot of wind hitting my car, but I was able to handle it. Well thankfully, the tire hadn't blown out and Alisha and I were fine, but I wasn't about to stop-- we were running late, dammit! I called my mom, who was already at the Centrum, and asked her to meet us when we got there so we could just hop out of the car instead of taking the time to park. Somewhere between then and the end of the show, Mike had put on the spare tire.
After the show, Alisha went home with Cody, and Mom, Dad, and Danny went out with me to Bennigan's. Our tenor soloist from HBU was there!! And, of course, I "needed" ice cream, so we just celebrated my birthday right then, which is actually in a week so hey we weren't really cheating. We even asked the waitress to ask the tenor if he would sing happy birthday to me, and he did so with his students! It was freakin awesome! I can't wait to tell Dr. Hightower about that one.
Now I'm back home, and after such an eventful weekend... I am extremely bored! I still have to take my car in to replace the tire, because I bet you anything that I broke it by driving on a flat for two days. Thank goodness for warranty! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I haven't had a crush like this since... I don't know when! It's so much fun!
After theory class I walked with Seth because both of us were off for the rest of the afternoon and we just goofed off for a little bit :) At one point he was calling his roomie and looked at me and his eyes were such a beautiful dark gray that I had to look away or I knew I would be drooling. I wonder just how obvious, if at all, it is that I like him. It seems to me that he likes me back, but I overheard a bit of news while he was driving me to my dorm that made me want to scream in agony. Some other girl gave him her number.
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
SO uncool. I already want to kill the bitch.
What gives me the upper hand is that we talk all the time and love to goof around and junk... but what gives her the upper hand is that she is bound to be much hotter than me. Yes, I am beautiful. But I'm not hot. Damn damn damn...
So now I could be stressing over nothing or something terrible. Seth is AMAZING. He's funny, sweet, sensitive (but not too much!), talkative, a percussionist, a drummer in two bands... oh and unbelievably hot, at least in my eyes. I do NOT want to lose this guy, but I also don't want to rush things. At the moment I am debating whether I should:
(A) ask him out NOW!
(B) let things ride out. Who knows, maybe he will ask me out on my birthday, which is in just over a week!
(C) wait till summer is over; in the meantime, diet and exercise like a mofo and come back totally HOTT!
(D) let it go, he probably likes the other girl
Give me advice!! Tell me which of the above I should go for. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |

| What a weekend!
Saturday was insane. Jillian, Lindsay, Candace and I went wedding dress shopping for Jillian's wedding, which is scheduled for next Spring. She was so beautiful! We were almost in tears. Anyway, it's for sure that the three of us will be bridesmaids in her wedding, so now I will be a bridesmaid in two- Jillian's, and Katrina's. I feel so old now that my friends are starting to tie the knot. Afterward we headed to Lupe Tortillas (best texmex food.. EVER!) and Memorial City Mall. None of us bought anything though. Then we went to the Walgreens near my house and bought a bunch of really nice makeup-- mostly for Candace since she is going to Nathan's prom in a couple weeks. We piled into Jillian's truck one more time and went to my house, where we put on makeup and played with my dogs and looked at some pretty crazy websites. Total girl's day out... and it didn't end till around 2am Sunday! I was completely de-stressed by having so much fun with my GIRLS!
Of course, on Sunday night I was feeling a little down since I was missing my friends back at home, so I went out with Alicia, Jonathan, and Mike to go sleepingbag-sliding down the old main hill. What stupid fun! We asked some random people walking around to join us but they must have known we were kinda nutty to be out so late doing something like that on a Sunday night. We also visited one of the gardens and pretty much goofed around for a couple hours. Afterward Alicia and I went to Jonathan's apartment and watched Seven while cuddling. It was so cute!
So yesterday Seth sent me a demo of his band and it rocked my face off. Yeah it was raw but come on, if a demo is that freakin awesome, I want to hear the band live for sure! I even showed it to Lindsay, my best friend in the whole world-- and also one of the pickiest music listeners known to mankind-- and she LOVED it! Seth rocks!
Alrighty, off to write a paper and study for a test tomorrow morning... adios! | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Last night was a 2 1/2 hour choir rehearsal out in Spring... that was fun. Alisha got really upset because her dad, who apparently is an ass, called her and chewed her out for not wishing her stepmother a happy birthday. So I bought her some Sonic :)
I got Alicia (my roommate) some flowers and The Notebook for her birthday today, but I am upset with her at the moment. Alicia knew her friends (who are actually mutual friends) were planning a surprise party, so she promised she would call whenever it started since they failed to think ahead and invite her own roommate. Well, I was supposed to go to my professor's recital with Seth and Kalenn earlier but it was cancelled... so instead of going out with them, I came back to the dorm and awaited Alicia's phone call. I also didn't get any dinner from Belvin because I figured I would be eating at the party.
Alicia never called me. It's really upsetting because (a) I was never invited and (b) she forgot about me too. So now I'm sitting here crying as if we were all in junior high school because of some really stupid mistakes, and I'm also shaking from low blood sugar since I never ate. Talk about a really crappy day.
I even skipped out of hanging out with the guy that I like just for her... | | comments: Leave a comment |
