Why is it that only the really loud really crazy people get on the news? I am sick of seeing these wack jobs screaming about socialism when they don't really know what it is and about death panels that are some stuip fiction made up by Limbal and Glenn Beck. Seriously are people that mindless that they can't even bother to look into what they are protesting? Do they really have to blindly follow bitter right wing extremists. It really damaged your kid to listen to the president discuss staying in school. So you drag them out but are perfectly fine with letting them take a field trip to see the man that helped get us into this mess, George W Bush. Yeah that works! Such a possitive role model for your kid to follow. Makes me sick to my stomach some times.
Okay I am done ranting for now. |

Gah almost a year and I haven't touched this thing. Oh well I think it's time to get back in the habit. Facebook is fun and all if you want to play games not so great if you need to just get stuff off your chest.
Things have been going pretty well for me. I really have no room to complain. I have manage to pay off more than half of my debt, I still have a great job, and I have wonderful friends. My social life seems to be soaring right now. I am still single but it actually doesn't bother me. I have been getting the chance to travel and go do all sorts of things on my time and on my rules. It really kicks ass. Over this past half year or so I have managed to see will Ferrel on Broadway, traveled to upper New York, New Hampshire, Kentucky and even got to take a Carribbean cruise. Only person that had the skills to still come back pale but hey it was a killer time and I didn't burn so win win for me. Some times i do miss being in a relationship but never enough for me to wish i had done things differently. This feeling of freedom and living for myself; my wants, desires, desicions; is something I don't want to give up. I think I have finally become that person that was always under the surface but never let out. You know what? It's freaking awesome. I have never been more confident in myself as I am now.
My life seems to finally be working itself out. I plan on moving out by the end of this year. Thankfully I found someone to split it with me. My friend Morgan has to find a new place so knowing that I am starting to get cabin fever at my house he offered to find a place with me. So hopefully he and I can find a decent place soon. We may even just take over Mina and Greg's old apartment since they are going to be moving into a house soon. It would be nice since the place has plenty of room, we won't be in each other's way all the time. We'll see I am keeping my fingers crossed. It's just nice that I have all three of them living so close by. They have keep me sane with my house gets crazy. what's even better is I now have travelling buddies. they love to wander just like me. It's been fun and mainly through Mina I have met some really interesting people all over. So pretty much where ever i go now I have a place to crash if I need it. |

So not much has gone on since last I posted. I have been working as much as possible for extra money and the job is going well. I did manage to take a vacation and go see my family in Florida which was nice. That was at the end of October and was just starting to get cold up here, so I really didn't want to leave. Nona wasn't making it easy either. She is still trying to get me to move down there. It's tough though the job market is horrible down there and as much as I love my grandparents I couldn't live with them. I don't know. Part of me wants to if only to get out of PA for a while and the other part says that it just isn't the smart thing to do right now. And now I have been invited to move out to California too. A friend is going to be taking a job out there and wants me to move out with her. If I thought FL was far away from my family jeez California. And again something is telling me that it's not the smart thing to do with this economy. Because even though I might be living at home and haven't finished college I at least have a stable job here. It just doesn't seem logical to give up that security and move so far away without knowing that I will have a means to provide for myself.
On a good side though I have been able to go out and do more things recently. I have finally gotten to the Mutter Musuem which was eerie but cool. I made a trip out to Ohio with Mina and Greg to visit some of their friends. Met really awesome people out there and two of them actually don't live to far from me so hopefully I will get to hang out with them. I have been going out with people from work. Actually this Saturday we are all going to a bar to see one of the techs do a show. The band is pretty good. It seems that I might even get to have fun this New Year's Eve (yay no sitting around watching some one play video games) and I might even be going to AC around my birthday but that's still up in the air. And to top all that off I have lost about 20 pounds so I am all pround of myself. GO me! haha
I do ask any of my friends who might still read this to keep my family in their thoughts. The one downer bit of news I have is that in Januray my dad is scheduled to be shipped out to Afghanistan. we are all a bit nervous though he is trying to keep us light hearted but it's hard at times. Actually I have been having a few sleepless nights but staying up doesn't fix anything. Maybe my worry over this will inspire me to write a few poems again. stress generally does that for me. I am going to stay possitive though and add in that he sgould only be gone for four months. Just means we can have an awesome welcome home party for him and he'll be home in time for my mom and dad's 25th wedding anniversary. Even more reason to through a fabulous party. |

Not surprising that it happened but after almost three and a half years Brian and I have split. There is going to be no wedding and he and I have gone our own ways. It sucks but it was also my decision. It was getting hard when we weren't really talking about anything but work and having the same arguments over and over. There were so many things that needed to change and I don't think they could have enough for both of us to be happy.
More and more it became apparent to me that our interests and goals in life were just to different for everything to work out. He wants to lead a life centered around his religion whether as a pastor or layman it would be a very main focus. I have no desire to be in any way part of the religious lime light. That is not my calling. I would not be able to deal with the pedestal I would be placed on at all. I don't want a community of people looking at me for an example on how to live and then doing nothing but nit picking, telling me how I am doing it wrong, and that I am failing them. That is there issue not mine. My life should not have to be altered to fit into anyone's ideal mold but mine. Plus we had different ideas on when to have kids as well as how to raise them. Pretty big deal in my opinion.
The arguments didn't really help at all either. We just couldn't seem to stop having the same ones. They always ended up going the same way and never really ended but were just put on pause for a bit of time. Nothing was ever resolved. The biggest one seemed to stem from his interaction with my family and my connection to them. I'm sorry but I don't see anything wrong with being close to my family but he did. I actually find that a bit ironic looking back since his main goal was to settle down and have a family. His favorite thing to say when we had this argument was that he was planning to marry me not my family; what he didn't understand was that it was a package deal. I love may family and no matter what happens they are people I can always depend on; I am not going to cut ties with them just because I am marrying.
What is nice though is that we both agreed we still want to try and be friends. It was almost four years we were together and I can't just cut him out of my life. With out Brian I wouldn't be where I am at today. More than likely I would still be a person with out much of a backbone and I have him to thank for helping me become a stronger person. I still care deeply about him and always will. Hopefully after everything has settled some we can hang out as friends again. For now we still talk and I am happy about that. Brian will always be an important person to me and I would be unhappy if I lost him totally. Unfortunately things didn't work out the way we originally hoped they would but that's okay. I hope we can both learn from it and find the person that will be everything we need them to be with out so many battles between us.
So anyway most of my friends already knew this but I just wanted to share with the ones I might not see every day. |

Well people it is official. Brian and I are engaged! While we were at the Hershey Gardens Brian proposed (Even got down on one knee and everything). So we actually get to start planning. The wedding will probably be 2 years or so, we want to make sure that we can plan it to be the day we want and still be able to afford. this way we have time to figure eveything out like where we will live afterward and what we can do from there. But it's really exciting. We aren't starting the planning right away I still have to tell everyone in my family. That might take some time.
I'm not really sure what my parents think but that's not anything really new. My dad said that he will be causiously hopeful and my mom is buy me books like before you leap and 100 hard questions before you say I do. I don't think that my parents think that Brian and I have talked this over. We both know this isn't going to be easy and it isn't always going to be fun. Hell I know there will probably be times were I won't like Brian but no matter what I'll know i love him. I'm ready to face what's may or may not come. I just wish my parents would ralize that.
But YAY I'm happy! So bah what they think.
Toodles! |

So yeah I'm nuts. I have teken it upon myself to do major overtime. So I will pretty much have no days off this week. But hey I'll be getting some extra money which will be stellar. YAY big first check.
Found out I get major corperate discounts too. Apple, Dell, HP, Ford (fix or repair daily), philly hotels and tons others. so that's awesome.
And I've just been sitting back and having fun. Can't wait for transformers to come out. I'm still not sure whether it will be good or not. It looks good but you know I really can't have them messing to much with my childhood. Those times are sacred.
Well just wanted to write and post random thoughts

So I have actually been having things go right in my life for a change and it feels amazing. Be even better if I could sleep and all but hey it can't be perfect.
I have officailly got the job at Comcast and couldn't be happier. I think I finally have a job that I will be able to stay with for longer then I have any other job. It's the first job that shows a promise for growth and expansion not just something static. I have amazing people that I am working with and actually have made friends with over half. And I mean friends that I could see on a regular basis. Like lane bryant I pretty much had Meridith and Jill that I could feel I could hang out with everyone else there was see at work and nothing more. But almost all these people I could see myself going out with to clubs and gathers just fine and I have. I actually feel proud of myself becaue it finally seems like I've grown socially. Don't get me wrong I love all the friends and would never trade them for anything but I just sometimes felt younger then I was.
Maybe that's part of soemthing else that is way deeper then I think I want to go at the moment but I'm starting to get over it. And it's not me saying I've outgrown my current friends cause I have and I wish I had kept in touch with more of them (like Allie, Reed, Misa, Joanna, Priti, hell even Blondie{still not sure what happened with all that all I know is that when I see her she kinda ignores me or forces politeness sorta hurts since I have no idea what I did but what are you going to do}) I really have been thinking over this ever since Tommy got back in touch with me some time ago. He kinda faded back out again which sorta sucks but it was really nice to hear from him again however briefly it was. Even after not hearing hime from him for so long that guy still make me laugh so easily. But in this little tangent that has taken over i just want to let everyone know I'm sorry I wasn't better at staying in touch. It's just as much my fault that I lost contact with all of you if not more so. If I had the time to think all this up I could have spent the same time leaving messages to say hi and I probably will so don't be surprised if you see a comment from me.
Wow after all that I actually feel a bit lighter. I guess I have been needing to get that out. Feels good.
Well anyway I guess i'll continue with the update of what I have been doing. I'm really actively trying to lose some weight. I'm kinda worried since I have put on quite a bit. I lost some but put it back on when I wnet to work at Comcast as a temp. Drastic chenge from being on my feet all day and now behind a desk. Not good. So I have joined the Y that's near my house. It's been slow going cause I realize I really in trouble since my knees have never been good they are a lot worse now. Plus with the working lots of really long shifts on my feet my ankels are sorta messed up too. But I'll be trying to eat better and be taking it a decent rate so that I can get this moving. Then I just might be able to get my energy back up. Wouldn't that be lovely (mind you getting sleep would be good to)?
Well I think I've blabbed on enough. So tata and we'll have to see when I'll actually update next. |

okay I don't like today. It's gorgous out and I'm depressed. And I'm probably depressed over nothing and people will laugh when they read this but oh well. I got pulled over today. It's only the third time, first time I got no ticket, second I was speeding, and now because I haven't had my inspection yet. The cops were literally sitting so that they could see the inspect tags for all the cars and lucky me hasn't gotten it done yet. So now I have to pay 102 dollars and I don't have that kind of money at the moment. I have to pay for the storage unit and haven't had the money to do that yet because of all the other payments I had at the end of this month left me with about 50 bucks to my name. Of course that's not before I was already over drawn (still haven't figured out how that happened. I pretty good with watching that) So I gues it's a good thing I have money saved up but oh wait yet that was going to be for college when I had enough saved to pay for I was going to go back. Well here's a nice chunk out of it then we'll have the 90 something that will go to the storage unit and wow I'm screwed. And let's not forget the inspection. I have a free inspection but I still have to pay for what ever might be wrong (I'm going to pray nothing is but knowing me yeah I'm fucked.) I'm tired and my day just started. |

So I went to a party with people from work last night and had a blast. One of the women who works here is transfering to another location and we had a send off for her. We went over to the Bowling Palace and hung out at the bar. The majority of the dispators where there and even some of the techs showed up. I had a few drinks and they even pulled me into the dancing. It was really nice to see every one outside of work. I truly like everyone that I work with so I had a blast. Even seems like some of them are pushing to make sure I get hired on by the company. That would be amazing if that happened and I happy that people like me enough to go out of their way and tell the supervisors that they want me as part of the team. So yeah last night was a fun time. |
|
|
| CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
[Feb. 22nd, 2007|12:07 pm] |
Ha I finally got to go to the club again last night. It was fun. Brian and I didn't actually do any dancing we just kind of sat and talked. We saw some people we knew and chatted with them for a bit. Met two really cool people and sat with them talking about corsets and designing different closthes. I need to find a really good waist cincher.
After the club (Brian and I left a little early. We both just suddenly got really tired.) we went back to my grandmother's house to pick up his car. We actually ended sitting in the car talking for an hour or so. That was really nice. We hadn't done something like that in a long time and there were somethings we needed to talk about. Lately we have just been getting to comfortable and to routine with each other. It was just putting a damper on things but I think that's all been resolved. So yeah that's good. WE going to trying to bring that energy back to the relationship that was there when it first started. So I actually feel better now that we finally talked about that.
And in an entirely different note I finally told that lady that I can't drive her any more so yep no more smelly car and allergic reactions |

So how about this the days for daylight savings is changing. And now this is going to end up throwing a lot of electronics off. It is now going to start March 11 to november 4th. So it going to be just a tad longer since it used to be from april 2 to October 29. so yeah I really don't know why they decided to do that but they did and we are going to be swamped at work with calls a of 'why can't I get my computer/dvr/hdbox to change time.' Yeah fun. |

I am so sore today from having to shovel all that snow yesterday. And I didn't even do the entire driveway a neighbor came over and helped me by bringing over his snow blower. Yet still i ache. Anyways on top of that this morning I had to spend about half an hour removing the snow and ice off of my car. That was sooo fun! I drove around hoping that the defroster would take care of it but it did nothing so before I went to work I stopped at Wawa and bought an ice scraper and de-icer. (My family took the stuff that was already in my car.) so that took forever becuase the ice and literally become caked on and I could not get it off even after dumping the bottle of de-icer all over it. The back windshield was easier and that had more shit on it. The best part was the lady I drive into work just stood there and gave me a look like are you going to open the car or not. I left it locked she didn't move one bit to help me while strangers where coming over and helping she just stood there. I already was having issues with this woman and now I'm just pissed. If someone is going out of their way (40 miles per week out of their way) you think that you could at least help a little to get the car cleaned. But no you have to be a fucking lazy ass and just watch while I'm out there cleaning my car with no gloves my hands are turning red, I'm getting covered in the snow and I am already sick! Bitch that's all I have to say. So believe me I won't be driving her in much longer. It's bad enough that she thinks I'll take her where ever she needs to go now she's just going to watch me work to get the car clean so that we can be safe. Yeah real endearing. Plus I'm having an allergic reaction to this woman and the cloud of smoke that follows her. I had a NOSE BLEED FOR 2 WEEKS BECAUSE OF HER! If someone tells you they are allergic to smoke don't stand there and puff on the cigarette with the door open then put it out and sit right in my car. That's like a slap in the face saying I don't car if you can't breath I need my fix. And she has the audacity to be mad at me for having to park near the snow back this morning. Yeah well so what I just stood there and got covered in snow trying to clear off the car so that I could get your lazy ass into work safely. Please! I can't stand her I just can't and this is so not like me at all. But everything she does just seems to piss me off more. She's going to have to find someone else that will put up with her soon. OR TAKE THE FUCKING BUS THAT STOPS AT YOUR CORNER AND THEN RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the one that took the job with out having a way to get there and that is not my problem. It's your own damn fault. And for the love of god don't ask me for money ever again!
Okay I needed to do that. It's been building.
On a lighter note have have been trying to get back into my poetry and have three new ones posted on my fictionpress account. |

Look at my name (if you randomly stumbled apon this page you will have no idea what I'm talking about ::patpat:: that's okay you're cute anyway) I would have to track down the person that had the smae name and make sure they hadn't stolen my identity. |

You know the Bible 77%! Wow! You are truly a student of the Bible! Some of the questions were difficult, but they didn't slow you down! You know the books, the characters, the events . . . Very impressive!
Ultimate Bible Quiz

I'm really curious to know what ones I got right and what ones I got wrong. Cause some of them I feel that I should know I mean come on I had 4 years of theology shoved down my throat in high school and I retained info when not paying any attention in that class. Sorry Mrs. Carr I did like you but there was no way I could pay attention cause face it I had the class either first period (where you're to unconsious to pay any real attention) or as the last class of the day (and we all know that if that is not a hard class or one you don't like no one pays attention you just want to go home). I feel kinda bad though because not to long ago Lis told me the Lord of the Rings friendship project was to get my group of friends to actually turn in a Theo project. I at least watch the movie but I don't think I ever turned in one project.
Anyway I plan on getting back into this stuff. This time though I'm going to do it my way and at my pace and without the Catholic dogma because really do any of those make sense? Well maybe to some one but that doesn't include me. ::Shrugg:: there are worse things in life. For once things are actually coming together in this area.
Though I will say that I am a bit bitter too. It took Brian going to his parents and telling them that I was Saved this passed weekend for them to actually accept me into the 'happy' little family. But for once I'm HAPPY to say I didn't do any of this to make them happy. I was convinced that they were never going to like me . Bah it took me finally doing something for myself and now I'm okay. God I will never understand people. Be nice and polite and repectful they hate you but finally ignore them and still be respectful but pretty much have nothing to do with them and NOW they like ME!!!!!! WTF?!
Okay minor rant over. Hopefully that situation will clear up now. We'll see there is still a chance I'll put my foot in my mouth while I'm waiting for the bitterness to end. Hey I was saved not sainted. We all know I can be a bitch when I'm pissed.
Other cool thing was that my minister and his wife had their first baby the day after I got saved in their church. A little girl they named Charisma.
Okay done for the night

[Dec. 22nd, 2006|02:18 pm] |
YAY I got a new job and have left the crazy drama of Lane Bryant behind. No more dealing with DMs that don't care, managing a store with no training or pay increase, no more dealing with a manager that just wants to make herself look good. I am so happy and relaxed now and my hair stopped falling out. I actually have weekends (Sunday and Monday) and a steady schedule. I can actually sleep and get over the cold that I had for almost 2 months. I'm really looking forward to seeing my boyfriend and friends again. Actually getting to have a life again is such a great feeling. I planning on even taking a morning class in the Spring. But I forgot to mention where I am working at now. I work for Westaff which placed me with Comcast. So I am at Comcast working as a Dispatcher. the new job is going really well and I work with some really nice people. So I think this is going to be a good change.
In another note tomorrow is m bday and I can't wait. Brian is taking me out to have a nice dinner at Buca de Beppo. He was able to reserve the kitchen table which I think will be really cool. In the mean time though I'm getting together with a number of friends and we are going to Dave and Busters tonight to celebrate a group bday. Kim's was yesterday and Candy's is today. So it should be a lot of fun. Liz and Ria are going plus a friend of mine from Lane Bryant I hope. Kim is bringing some of her friends so we should have a nice sized group. But if anyone reads this and wants to come please do I like big parties. To bad Jill is back home I'm drag her if she was hear though wait Jill are you 21?
Anyway have a great holiday it might be awhile before I update again but I will try to get better ate it
Sean if you read this sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet I've been busy with the holiday shopping and the new job but if you can join us tonight if you read this before 8 o'clock tonight. |

I juat wanted to ask that if you read this today please remember and pray for the men and women still out there fighting for our country. They deserve our unending support and love. We will always remember this day and stand strong.
I also want to say that some people need to look back and remember the importantce of today. I have been so dissappointed in people as I have been today. I left my house early and headed to work with ribbons and flags. When I got there my new manager was in and I said that I wanted to decorate in honor of those we lost and those that are still fighting for us. She told me that I was not allowed to because it was not store standerd. Since no email had come out that we could decorate I was not allowed to place anything in the store but she would let me hang somethings in the back room. She then procced to say that she didn't know what we were doing while I was in charge but now that she was here it was going to stop.
So in closing if you happen to work in retail they must not consider themselves in this unified from because heaven forbid we break from policy to remember those that have fallen.
Well that won't stop me from decorating myself. I'll be going back in with ribbons in my hair, as bracelets and wearing my flag shirt under my father's military jacket. |

Well my manager at work is leaving tomorrow ... Umm make that today. So I will be filling in until a new manager is found and in all truth I really don't want to because I get no pay raise (yeah well I'm broke so yes that is a valid point), I have to work very long shifts (hello a 13 hour shift is not my idea of fun), and I am still going to be losing a lot of associates due to college classes ending.
I think I might have said this before but I really am looking to do something more with my life now cause this is just getting boring and pointless. I'm not big on endless hours at a job that only gives me stress. I'm ready to start getting into something I just might enjoy for the long run ::gasp:: what a strange concept.
So if you talk to me and I seem fired this is just letting you know why that is.
On a lighter note I've just been told by two of my neighbors that as a half Italian I must see this movie called Moonstruck. It has Cher in it. They think I'll find it funny because of my family background. Ummm...okay. ::Shrugg:: As long as I'm not the one renting it. I'm mean come on Cher! |
