  OK. Party Friday night SUCKED so hard. We left our own party to go to another one. Which also sucked so then we went to a bar. At that point, I had gotten a buzz twice and crashed twice so I was tired and irritable so I just left and came home and went to sleep.

REWIND to Wednesday. Karaoke was awesome. I actually got up and sang with some random guy who needed a partner to sing Summer Lovin and I figured Why not? since I knew the song by heart anyway and at that point people were about drunk so it didn't matter. First public karaoke!! Good times. I danced with everyone and a good time was had by all.

Thursday night we went to another bar. John's roomate's mom, brother and sister were there celebrating his 21st bday with us which was cute. Melissa told the mom she would sing karaoke with her but something happened and the mom got pissed and said she didn't want to sing anymore so Melissa was like "pleeease don't make me go up there by myself" so I sang Livin La Vida Loca with her lol It was fun times. then John, Melissa and I had a sleepover on the floor of our living room.

SKIP Friday.

Saturday I went to work and then went to Ghost Train, which was okay. The festival itself wasn't all that. We got in free so it was okay but if I had paid the $25 to get in, I woulda been mad as hell lol The converstation with Jeff was awesome. I was worried it would be awkward silences all around but that didn't happen once. Then I had someone come over and watch a movie. I may have self-disclosed a little too much. lol we will see...

Sunday was work. It was okay. I wore my devil horns and people looked at me like I was actually Satan. Gotta love small-town mountain folk. lol 2 people were in the Halloween spirit and were nice to me. Theeen I came home and went to sleep.

Today... I'm pretty sure I have a test in Art class but I don't know.

bitching again   
12:46am 20/10/2009
  I am bored with life again. I feel like everyone else I know is having fun. Also, living with a purpose. I have no passion, therefore no purpose. Why am I in college? Nobody knows.

  I've been in a really odd mood for the past few days. I feel like something really bad is going to happen. The night before last, I had to listen to music to calm my nerves enough to sleep. I haven't done that in years. And that was after I drove around for about an hour blasting my music... That was new.

I don't want to leave Raleigh but I feel homesick for Boone. Is that weird? And I'm really not ready to face work and school again. One thing I'm actually glad for, though, is that the BabyGap in Raleigh is now closed for renovations and everyone I liked has quit. So that's one less thing I feel like I'm missing out on.

  I'm tired of school. I'm tired of these bitchy, stuck-up students here. I'm tired of the inbred locals. I'm tired of the fact that the whole fucking town shuts down at 10PM. There's no clubs. There's no museums. There's nothing to do. There's not a Target. There's not a Starbucks. The mall has 6 stores and there's one fucking movie theater between 3 towns. I am losing my fucking mind. I want to get the fuck out of this worthless piece of shit of a town.

I used to think I wanted to live in a small town. At least now I know.. this is not the life for me.

I want nothing more than to drop all my classes, pick up my shit and move across the country. I just want to get away.


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. #@$@#%%$&&(!!!!!!!!

  Maribel called me out of nowhere yesterday at 11am to tell me that her sister was getting married at 2pm that day and Maribel wanted me there. This girl hasn't called me in like 2 years.. then she calls me to invite me to a wedding? lol Of course I had to say yes. I had an amazing time even though I didn't understand a single word. The food was good, the reception was fun, it was awesomeness. Then Maribel, Celia, Javier and 2 of his friends and I went to meet my sister and Eliza at a pool and we were there for 3 hours and we played chicken and raced and did handstands and had splash fights and all that jazz. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! And now I am in a hotel in Wilmington and I will be at the beach with Ashley and Jon for a while. And yes. SO good times... :)

  So.... I don't know. I've been hanging out here and there. It's all good. We broke into a pool yesterday and that was AWESOME. I felt so graceful jumping that fence like that. lol It almost took no effort once Ashley thought to use the tree. Tomorrow I think I'm gonna try to go to the museum with my sister. That should be fun.

I'm happier in Raleigh, but now that we're not together anymore... I just have this underlying sadness all the time.. just kinda lurking.. probably waiting to smack me in the face the second I am not occupied... so I keep struggling to stay occupied all the time. It's gonna hit me soooo hard when I get back there. I'm so not looking forward to that.

Aside from that... I work and go out.. mostly with Ashley sometimes with the family. That's about it.

  All my grades are in. Three A's and a B. 3.75 GPA. GET IT!! lol One of the A's was the one I thought was going to be a C. YAY ME.

Also.... I feel soooo much better. I'm really glad I came back now. It's not as hot as it was on that first day I was here. It was actually kind of chilly the past couple of days. I went out to Denny's with Tiffany after two hours of joking around at work while we worked on the window displays. Then we went to Wal-Mart then she dropped me off. It's so nice to feel like a normal person again. Nobody stares at me like I'm an alien here. I don't understand what it is about the Boonies that I seem so ridiculously different to them. I guess I won't really be able to wrap my head around that. How people can react so differently to a person... whatever.


I don't have the internet at home. AAAAND I DON'T LIKE IT. I have to keep going out of my way to go to places with internet access. Oh well. I have to be off to work in a bit so I shall go.

  Mkay, I'm over it. I feel better.

I went to Sushi Blues today. The familiarity of being at Sushi Blues with the cousin then chilling at the Purple House helped me kind of ease back into the Raleigh mindset. I DO have friends here and there IS things to do. lol

No plans for the weekend, really. I'm hoping to see Kelvin and maybe go to church but we'll see. I always say I want to go to church but never quite make it to the finish line come Sunday morning. But I will see Kelvin if it kills me. He's not going anywhere til I see him! lol

  Sooo I am done with this semester and back at home. I already kind of wish I had stayed my butt back there. The heat here is more then I would like to deal with. I was kind of looking forward to seeing my friends but it's not a pressing urge like it was before. I've been in a really weird mood lately.

Just yesterday I cried for half an hour because I couldn't make any new friends and nobody in that stupid little town got me and I didn't fit in with anyone. I went to college thinking people would be more like me there... only to find out they are the complete opposite and want nothing to do with me. I have never felt so out of place in my life. I was talking to my sister the other day and I can't really explain it better than I did to her but it's like I feel rejected ALL THE TIME. I'm seriously considering transferring to ECU to be with her.

I've just been feeling so ridiculously alone. I know this makes me sound crazy but it seems like if I get more affection than I'm expecting.. like a hug that lasts a few seconds longer than it needs to.. I get overwhelmed with emotion and feel like crying. I'm pretty sure people are supposed to outgrow that reaction at the age of 2 or 3. I just want to be held all the time. I feel so insecure lately. Scared, almost. I need someone to hold me tight and not let go.

But at the same time.. I don't want to be around anybody. Everyone seems so fake to me. I don't feel like I'm capable of making a real connection with anyone new. That's probably why I'm so terrified of my old friends leaving me... I'm honestly scared I will be left with nobody. But I feel detached even from those that I care about the most. I don't know.


My papa came home today. Which is a weird emotional experience in itself. I always just stand there... wishing I had something to say, or we had something to talk about.. I hugged him when he got out of the car and held on a little too long and I think it made him uncomfortable and he pulled away. I wish there was something there. I guess you can't avoid someone for 20 years then pretend there is a bond. Sigh. I wish it could work that way.

  Soo... I don't understand this. WHY do they make the serving size so ridiculous for things? You look at a bag of Nutter Butters and the calorie count is 140..... for ten pieces. WHAT? Who eats just ten pieces of nutter butters? They're like the size of peanut M&Ms. Or like chips... who eats 5 chips?


3 exams down; 1 to go. 1 went terribly because I didn't know what was going on, basically.. and the other 2 were great. I have low hopes for the last one. So far I have a B in Gerontology so the exam must not have been TOO TOO bad and an A in Research Methods.. which is what I was expecting. So that is good. I worked hard but somehow it's not as fun getting an A when you already know it's coming lol But the B in Gerontology was a pleasant surprise.. if I get higher than a C in Psych of Parenting, that will be the biggest surprise of all and I will be sooooo happy. But we shall see. That's the last exam I gotta take. Then I am off to Raleigh.

  OH. MY. GOD.

So we are supposed to have classes until Wednesday then Thursday is "Reading Day" (by the way, I think it's complete CRAP that we have ONE DAY to cram and State has DEAD WEEK) Anywho.. Technically, exams are not supposed to start until Friday.. so I went into my Gerontology class today "just in case" we had class and I saw the teacher assistant there... that can only mean one thing... exam time!

Needless to say, I was beyond unprepared. I hadn't even LOOKED at my notes let alone reading or studying them I didn't have my final paper which was to be turned in with the exam.

I went to class "just in case we had class" aaaaand walked into the exam. Ummmmm... I failed that final sooo bad. :(

On a positive note; he said just to e-mail him the paper AND at least I showed up.. a 50 is better than a zero because I was definitely going to skip class today.

  So here I am on LJ again..why? 1) Because I have 4 exams to study for and 3 papers to write and more importantly 2) I got some very bad news today.

I called babyGap to make sure everything went the way it was supposed to and it was then that I found out that Rachel was leaving the company. I was beyond upset. She is the best effing general manager I have ever ever ever worked with. Just the other day, I was talking about how I heard her voice on the phone and it made me happy. It was impossible to feel sad around this woman. I was so looking forward to working with her this summer. I literally cried on the phone when she told me. Second of all, I wanted to go back to babyGap because it was familiar to me. I got along with EVERYONE that worked there (except one but I'll take it) Come to find out, the company is consolidating all the Gap stores. GapKids closed down last week and babyGap and adult Gap will close down in July.. so they can turn into one giant store with all of them together plus GapBody. Since 3 stores are going to be meshed into one... they had to make 2 of the general managers into associate managers since one store can't have 3 GMs. And Rachel said she couldn't take the pay cut so she quit. Which I understand.... but STILL! I got off track... by the time they close down.. I'll be back here.. but the point is.. one of my managers is on maternity leave and another one is apparently on disability leave.. so I will be working with a new GM and 2 new managers and several new co-workers. I AM SO UPSET. I DO NOT DEAL WELL WITH CHANGE. Especially when it's the thing I was going home to for comfort :( I mean I really loved these people that I worked with. Then I moved here and transferred to Old Navy... and they treat me like shit. I tried to be nice to everyone, I went out of my way to speak to people.. and it just didn't work. Everyone ignores me. It hurts. I dread going to work.. which seems normal to people but I used to look forward to it back home. I'm not used to people treating me this way.. it's usually much easier for me to relate to people if not become friends.. but no.. nobody here wants anything to do with me and honestly, I'm a little confused by it. lol I don't mean to sound cocky but like.. I never had this problem, what's different? I just wanted to go home and work with a bunch of people I was friends with and cared about to get away from this job for a couple of months and I can't even have that. I just hope I get along with the new people. :-/

Phew. That was somewhat of a rant but whatever. Nobody really understands why I'm so upset about this and that kind of bothers me, too. But I couldn't care less, really... I loved those people and was looking forward to seeing them. Aaaaand that got taken away from me today.

Umm I wanted to write about something else but I got too worked up over my rant and forgot. lol

Interesting tidbit of the day: George W. Bush was the only president to win a campaign that was shorter than his opponent. He evened the odds by standing on a step stool during debates or being across the room instead of side by side so people weren't as likely to see the difference. Because people are more likely to trust tall men.

Also... today I got a craving for McDonald's fries.. and anyone whose ever gotten that craving knows that it is impossible to beat. I've known people to get off the couch at 2AM and drive around to find an open drive-thru to get those things... They are like crack or something... but the points... I beat the craving. lol it was amazing. The end.


And basically I am counting the seconds until I get to go home. I am so ready to see all my furry and non-furry friends 4-legged and 2-legged alike. For serious.

  So I just watched "But I'm a Cheerleader" and I thought it was very cute.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV7v1jKYrHw <in case anyone is like me and likes to kill way too much time online, here's the link to part 1 on youtube and you can follow the rest on there. Quotable: "FOREPLAY IS FOR SISSIES! Real men go in, unload and pull out!!" lolol Exams next week. I don't feel prepared. But I never do and I manage just fine every time so I'm not too too stressed. (I hope I don't get like 20's just because I said that now lol) \ I got my old job back at babyGap for the summer and I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. I looove it here but I hate Old Navy. That is the ONLY reason I'm going back to Raleigh this summer. I gotta work but I don't wanna work at ON. Ummmm... that's about it. On a side note, I think I might be gay. Even though I'm scared of vaginas.

  uhhh. Registration has already started aaaand I switched my major again. I have to get a new adviser now to tell me what classes I need to sign up for. I hope this can get resolved before all the classes fill up. That would upset me greatly. I need to stop being so impulsive. This is the last time I'm switching majors though. For serious.

Also, yesterday I was wearing a dress.... today, it was 27 degrees and snowing. UHHH... Bipolar much?


Why do they still have Library Sciences as a major? Like back in the day, I can understand why they might have needed 4 years to figure out how to use the Dewey decimal system without the help of a computer and organizing and whatnot but.... it seems unnecessary now. I think a two to six month course would suffice with the technology we have today. How can you even find enough information to teach for four years.. or six even! Goodness..

  Midterm grades- 91, 95, 89, 85? I forgot the last one.
I got a 95 on my research paper (the same class I got the 95 on the midterm)
So YAY ME!

I also finally got a little girl to mentor.... and I don't like her. How can you be a 7 year old and not be liked? I've never met a little girl that I was so put off by... for no good reason. It's weird. She doesn't talk much but throws tantrums and fits.

On a brighter note, I am really enjoying going to the nursing home. Earlier this week I went to see my lady, Miss Margie, and the lady told me she was not feeling well and had not left her bed all day. I asked if I could go say hello anyway and she said "Well.. I'd better just go check for you" so she did. And she came back and said "She will see you now. She's very happy you're here.. go ahead to her room." And I thought that was cool but didn't really think anything of it.

I went to see her again a couple of days later and we were working on our (her pictures, my work) scrapbook and the lady who works there was in the room with us. Miss Margie had to go get dinner and I told her to go ahead and I would work on the page we were doing while she ate. When she left the lady who works there turned to me and said "I know you're just doing this for school but you're doing so much more than that. You really came at the perfect time for Margie. She really needed you. I guess God works in mysterious ways." And she told me how volunteers come and go all the time but they never want to come on the weekends and Sundays are usually when the other residents get visitors.. so those who don't get them get really sad, especially on Sundays. That particular Sunday I went because I figured I had nothing better to do so I might as well get some work done. But I think I will make it a point to go on Sundays now. And some of the other residents were asking Miss Margie if I was her granddaughter and one of them said to the other "Isn't her granddaughter so sweet to be doing this for Margie?" and she said "My granddaughter wouldn't take the time to do something like this with me.. This is my little angel." ..... I died. I don't know.. This Sunday was just really touching.. not to mention we got a lot of good work done on the scrapbook. so yea...



It's funny that I'm doing the best in the class that I thought I would hate and do the worst in (and vice versa) and I'm enjoying the volunteering that I thought I would hate and hating the one I thought I would love. Funny how that works.

Either case.. Aside from being a little behind on schoolwork... I'm feeling pretty okay about school and life in general. :)

NO JINXIES! lol
