Gotta Shop Around

And boy, have I (we) been shopping. Definitely related to my previous Weekly WrapUp post but money has been a priority lately.

First it was heading to about 8 car places from large, well known dealerships to tiny corner lots until finding the car that suited us best which wound up being a brand we had never considered (Suzuki) and a model of which I’d never heard (Forenza); funny how things happen.

Next it was visiting dozens of apartment complexes from the run-down and ghetto variety that we simply drove on by to the wonderfully new, large and homey on which we finally settled. That application is in and, assuming we get it, I will be able to move on September 12.

Of course, with the move comes the fact that most of our Earthly possessions are somewhere in the world, hopefully making their way to us and we need to add a bedroom set which will be another large chunk of money. I think we’ll be doing that sometime next week to take advantage of a pre-Labor Day sale and then pay off our mattresses as well.

And while females are said to love spending money, I have certainly seen more apartments than I can specifically recall, talked to more pushy salesmen and browsed more potential furniture than I ever care to do again. Luckily, all these purchases should last us for years so I won’t have to!

To end with some good news, I received my school books today, from MATC, and at the end of this month I will officially be a college student, if only online. I really wanted to make that happen this fall and it is happening. I’m happy to finally be starting school.

In May, when many of the people with whom I attended high school graduated, I really felt horrible. I had planned to take 1 year off to work and here I was, 4 years later, still not back in school. It has really been weighing on my mind heavily and I can finally know that I’m taking a step forward, to better my future, and not fear that I’ll never go to school. So yay for me!

I’m legal!

Well my birthday was disappoiting, as always. Anyway I’ve been giving some thought to shutting down this domain but I’m not sure.
Graduation is on Monday. Today we got our yearbooks; they’re kinda ugly.

My Best Friend

I never had no one that I could count on
I’ve been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin’
So tired of searchin’
Til you walked into my life

It was a feelin’ I’d never known
And for the first time, I didn’t feel alone

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you

I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You’re right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you

I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend

You’re my best friend

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you

I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend

You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend

I am alone

Quite literally, too. today is the senior class trip (to a Brewer’s game)on which I did not go, but many people did. Lots of seniors who didn’t go just stayed home. Sitting in resource and neither Karissa, nor Wendy, nor Ashe is here. My first 3 classes were practically empty. It leaves the school quieter and it’s almost eery. Without no one to talk to I feel as though the whole day will be something of an uncomfortable silence.

I am hungry and i have chemistry that I should do, but you know me: I put things off to the last minute. Any day now I should be getting a call from Family Dollar. -crosses fingers* I really need that job.

I didn’t go to the ceremony last night, but I guess I got like 3 scholarships. Go Cole.. or something. There were some academic medals, too. I haven’t received one of those for a while. -blinks*

My hands smell like this lotion I used that is not quite pleasant. -wrinkles nose* Yea, I have nothing more to say.

I love Rian.

I don’t know

New blogger.. Kinda confusing. Pretty neat. They have comment features, too. This stuff keeps getting better.. -clicks the preview button* Weeee -clicks hide preview*

Samantha was sick last night and altohugh she’s better tonight, she’s throwing tantrums like crazy. The dogs act as though they’re starving (Yea, right) and hound me when I eat.

This week’s busy. Cafe last night, work tonight and Thursday, tomorrow is the scholarship ceremony at school and Friday is Cold! That’s right, I am going! -bounces* Wendy’s dad bought tickets (We love you Wendy’s dad!).

Jack called tonight only I had just woke up from my nap and I was kinda bitchy. We’re waiting on my birthday and I just don’t want to talk to him. I don’t know what I am supposed to say other than “I’m still looking for a job.” I procrastinate way too much. -sigh*

I had an inpromptu interview with Trig’s, only they won’t be opening til after I’m gone. Guess I can’t work there, huh? -lmfao* I guess I need to be filling out applications left and right. It’s really lookign like I’ll need multiple jobs over the summer, and the summer isn’t that far away.

Ashe always blogs about me, and Rian and things I consider personal. Sometimes this bothers me, but her bad grammar bothers me worse. She bitches about how no one comments but really, why should be comment when she’s probably ranted the same thing at us previously in the day? She’s having issues with Mel again, and how can I nicely say I don’t want to hear them? Everyone needs to grow up a little, myself including because I know that I sometimes feed the fire.

Yea, I have French to do..

Soon..

Well, today I hooked up the DSL modem. I guess Verizon decided we really could have hooked it up yesterday. -growls* But i’m uber happy. It’s cheaper, and fast, and I really missed my computer.

I have tons of things I have to catch up, but don’t worry I didn’t forget you. As you can see, there’s a new “layout” up. This is a temporary arrangement because I will have a new layout up soon, but I was sick of the green! I’ve edited the placement of certain things, but they’re still there. This text area is much easier to read the blogs in, don’t you think? I also caved in and coded up some pretty scrollbars. -swoons* There’s a few more posts on the main page again, now get to commenting!

So a little update. Looks like i’m going to AZ afterall. Another great thing is that one of my oldest firends from the net will be living very close to me and we’re going to have coffee or something. I just can’t believe that! It will be so cool!

Today after work some of the tutors stayed to help Mrs. Graf paint chairs. Well, we had to sand too. Now my hands and pants are full of paint and my arms and back are killing me. OH well. It was rewarding.

I’m going to be getting a second job soon, and I may be working two during the summer. I guess Nate put in a good word with me at Trigg’s so if I want a job there, I pretty much have it. He’s a nice guy. (=

Rian is also a damned fine fellow and I am in love with him. I feel all storybook-romance-like. It’s wonderful. -dances*

I think I’m going to have my hair cut and dyed sometime soon. I have these pretty cool natural highlights, but they just aren’t me.

I’m exhausted, I need to go!

hearing: Piglet hissing
feeling: cold
wanting: the damned modem

I hope that today the modem will come and then I’ll hook it up. I have so much I need to do but i’ll have to start by clearing of Tim’s computer. I know that his will also run so much better with DSL.

I can’t wait to be on a fast connection that does not kick me off every two minutes, and then take another 20 to sign back on. I’ll also be unvacationed from Provance, so I’ll see some new neat sites, and receive more comments. Actually, I’ve had a few comments from my friends/regulars. (= Thanks guys.

[edit] Modem came. It wasn’t supposed to come until Wednesday but the UPS guy showed up tonight, Tuesday. Only, we can’t hook it up until Friday. WTF[/edit]

I realized that when I blog I sound all matter of fact, so let me be a little emotional/sentimental. I loooove Rian, and he makes me happy. I also hate not being able to talk to him, but soon it will be back to normal and I’ll have to make up for our lost time. d=

[edit] And did you know he’s really hot? At least, I think so. -drools* Cole has a fucking hot boyfriend. [/edit]

I have a ton of questions that I have post, and members to add to all my fanlistings and cliques. It’s a bit of work, but it’s also fun to have active members. (=

[edit]You guys keep submitting stupid questions. It’s leading me to believe that you’re all morons.[/edit]

I’m going to spend a lot of time catching up on the stuff I missed on the forums I’m a member at.
Oh, well I need to go because I have to eat lunch and study for my Chemistry test next period. Wish me luck. I also hope that I did well on my English test yesterday. Mrs Eberlein made me type up the essay question because she cannot read my writing. -lol*

[edit]I did okay on the Chem test, just some dumb mistakes. I haven’t recieved my English test back, yet.[/edit]

PS Powell is a beast. She is one of the worst teacher’s I’ve ever had and I don’t even have her this semester.

I’m back

Vote on my new poll

Miss me? -lol* I spent last night at Ashley’s house. It was okay, but Ifell asleep really early because I only had five hours of sleep the “night” before. Tuesday night Ashley came over and we played games, watched tv, etc. Then about 9 we went over to Ashe’s house and wound up staying the night. I finally fell asleep at 8 am on Ashe’s floor. XD

I have to start my paper for Yasha. By the way, the review site needs more reviewers! Go apply!

I also added a couple pages of new Cole pictures, including some from tonight. I was feeling pretty. ^_^
