I just feel like doing a diary type thing


so good things and bad things are both taking place in my life...normal

unfortunately its not as easy as listing the good things and listing the bad because life is way more intertwined than that so here is some type of explanation:

I am very excited to be moving back to Kalamazoo in about 3 weeks. I want to be with Greg and I also want to be the hell out of CTP. Out of the uncleanable pigsty, away from the selfish pig, away from my mom tho. So much guilt there.

My mom has me she says....

When I leave there will be soooo much guilt because my mom and i have built up this alliance and it's kinda like i have a way out and she is still stuck and its like im sayin PEACE OUT. sigh

I love greg so much tho. I can't wait to be back with him.
stupid bitch from work: "I can't believe you guys are staying apart for 4 months...i thought you were supposed to be in love"
me: "yea well my mom needs me more than he does. its as simple as that"

Its amazing how some people just take. They will drain you dry and if you keep giving they will take your blood and with every snatch they will be 100% ungrateful. Amazing.
What am i supposed to be learning?

I realize that life isnt fair. I got that part and that's fine. its life. And i am okay despite the crap that I have to deal with because I really believe that it can always get so much worse. I actually am proud of myself for how okay I am despite everything. Sometimes tho it feels like I can't stop moving...go go go because if I stop then I will break down.

Haha sometimes I wish i could pick up another addiction. But it turns out that I really dont have an addictive personality so its hella hard for me to commit to anything.

Why do people call you strong when you simply haven't lost it? Being okay is a mental choice that one makes every day. Nothing needed to be praised.

I will be okay and I have learned immensely from this life so far. I am evolving.

Things hurt....a lot sometimes but I am so lucky for so much. Greg, my mom, my jobs, my school...thank god for everything I have, and the truth is that no matter how much Rod tries to hurt us, he can't anymore because I've ripped him out of my heart completely. Theres nothing to hurt anymore but there's also nothing to repair. I feel badly about that.

....choices...everyday choices become your character...

nobody updates anymore.... [20 Feb 2007|07:39pm]
[ mood | sick ]

So since I'm one of those people that never update anymore, I thought I'd finally do it...

I'm engaged to the most wonderful man in the world....and the ring ain't bad eitha.
We got engaged on New Years Eve after dating for over 2 years.


I have the flu.


That's about all that's new.

Even though my body is feeling crappy, I feel great. :)

Fridays are a bitter tease for me. I like them because the weekend is just around the corner, but i dont because its my busiest day of the week.
So at work today I am supposed to go thru some smoke-filled trailor and not die, and then come out and go to a lecture that basically says "you didn't like that smoke in your lungs did you?! Well, that's why you have to know where the fire exits are! It's fire awareness week!" ugh....oh well at least its 30 min that ill get paid for.
In other news, the doctor told my dad that if he doesnt immediately lose weight he will die, so to cope with this stressful news my dad dug his face into a large steak and 1lb. of french fries immediately after the appointment.
hmm...
i havent gone to work at my other job in like 3 months...i wonder if my boss cares. tee hee.
anyway, back to the exciting day here at Waldo Library.

by the way, my icons will always be related to jason mraz, so if u don't get them, its because you are a sad individual that has not yet embraced the musical talents of jason mraz.

God, this is bothering me so much...


First of all, I know I do not want to do elementary ed. period.

Secondly, I know I WANT to do musical theater very very badly.
I emailed the head of the musical theater dept and she said I JUST missed the deadline for auditions for the fall. DAMNIT!!!

Things to consider:

Is my voice good enough?
Can I get down to a size 4 again and stay there for performance reasons.
Will I ever make it enough to pay the bills?

If any of these answers are no, then I should find something else to go into.

Entreprenuer?
Take dumb ass business classes and open up a restaurant....i guess id like that.

Culinary school...that would be fun, but id probably get really fat from all the good food....

NOTHING MEDICAL definitely. not after working in the medical field and seeing the stress that goes with it.

Music? Become a music teacher?
Not smart enough for high school+ and couldn't take the everyday screeching of the elementary-middle school kids.

Music? Become a performer for orchestras n such?
Again, auditions....rejections...would I be good enough? I would have to learn a new instrument entirely.

SIGH

I need help deciding, but who do I turn to?

so on ABC Primetime there is a news story about a new strategy to lose weight:

they threaten the women to lose the weight or be on national television in a bikini that is too small for you until you are humiliated enough to lose the weight. Then the man that is on there must lose the weight or he and his wife will havev to appear on tv, nearly naked.

They are scaring people into losing weight.



How is that healthy?


That is the biggest crock of SHIT I have ever heard!!



First of all, women are vulnerable and sensitive about their weight. It is something that has always been and most likely always will be in America. If a person tells her she is fat, then at the very least it has ruined her day, and at the most, could spiral her into an obsessive weight control problem whether it is too low or too high, or it could even result in an eating disorder. That is how serious this issue is.

Without going into it too much, lemme just say this: America's society tells us that women are worthless if they are over a certain number on the scale. They are not worth talking to in a bar, and certainly not worth loving and marrying. Ever heard the saying "the hot girl and her fat friend"? Of course there are exceptions to this, but for the most part, fit lean men do not interact with overweight women in the dating world.

Now, going back to the weight loss strategy: Being nearly naked on national tv is difficult for many women no matter what their size is because everyone has flaws which they feel more comfortable hiding underneath clothing. Actresses work out everyday for MONTHS before they are seen in bikinis for their 30 second clips on television.

How could something so traumatic be beneficial to a person's self esteem?? I see this falling one of two ways: the person is mortified and loses the weight, but has a completely warped and unhealthy sense of self for the rest of his/her life, or the person is incredibly embarrassed and hates him/herself for ever doing this, and all the while their body never changes.

This comes from me who has had an eating disorder of my own. I fell into the trap of society's rules, and I regret it to this day. I thought I was happy because I looked better being 70lbs lighter, and because men gave me much more attention than I ever thought I was worth. All the while no one saw the pain and sacrifice I went through in order to do this little dance for superficiality. My weight fluctuates as quickly as the days of the week, but I would NEVER hurt my self esteem as badly as going on this "weight loss program" on television. It just goes to show that the media will do anything for a quick buck.




okay i feel better.

ugh...this pisses me off sooo much...
and such a little thing sparked this...

I went online and saw that under his quiz thing, best friend category I'm in there...

I miss my friend. He was a really great friend. It is difficult for Greg to accept him as my friend because my friend and I almost had a thing once....

I'm bending over backwards to not let anyone take it...

Yet he never returns my calls...

He never takes the time to even leave me messages online or anything....just to show that he still knows I exist...

DAVE, you were one of my best friends. I'm trying, but I'm starting to think that this isn't worth fighting for.

I realize youre busy, but I am too, and I want to stay friends with you....what should I do?

spring break [06 Mar 2006|05:45pm]
spring break was okay i guess.

i got to relax for a few days

then went to Chicago to see Blue Man Group, and then went to the aquarium and museum there

there was a dead cat or something outside our window of our hotel.

then i got VIOLENTLY sick for the a good chunk of break. i was either in bed or throwing up in the bathroom.

then i went home to work. that was ok. made like $75

then its back to school.




eh...more later.

prince
Sleeping beauty, Princess briar rose.

There she lay, so beautiful that he could not turn

his eyes away, and he stooped down and gave

her a kiss. But as soon as he kissed her,

briar-rose opened her eyes and awoke, and

looked at him quite sweetly.

Belle from Beauty and the Beast

You're probably used to always being top of your

class. You have a gifted mind for

understanding and a thirst for knowledge,

especially literature. You are an

independent soul is just as content to be by

themself as be with others, though you love

long, deep conversations one-on-one with

someone who stimulates your intelect. Watch

out that your loness does not isolate you or

keep you from knowing how to interact with

others.

Another Friday morning... [17 Feb 2006|08:55am]
It's amazing how much more awake I am in the morning if I eat breakfast. Wow.


Greg and I are disagreeing on certain things, but I am confident that we will stay together. I'm not too worried about it.


I am going thru Anne Rice books like whoadang...it's better than doing homework.


my teacher added me on facebook............odd.


So plans may be changing about the summer. No one is doing anything about getting a house, so I may be coming back to HTP for the summer. I guess it's bitter sweet.


My major.....ugh......decisions....


My phone bill is gonna be HUGE cuz of all the texting...I'm a texting whore now.


I wish it was noon already.
