Ooh! Colbert! He's the greatest :D

Jon Stewart is pretty cool too, but he can seem a little more harsh sometimes.
But they both are still pretty fair. I just like Stephen Colbert a whole lot more. hehe

Well, I forgot to mention it before, but the job I got is with Comcast. I'm going to be answering phones and answering questions. It's my first totally full-time job.

I had my first day today, and it was pretty much insanly boring; but I suppose that's to be expected with orientation and all that. Everyone there seems to be pretty nice.
There's a lot of cool stuff tho. I get free internet and cable, there's a cafeteria there. and get this: we have a gym, there's showers and everything.


Other than that, I'm exhausted today, and I went shopping with my mom. *sigh* I can't wait to go to bed. And I'm happy, which is important. Things have been going good with Tom, and we've been pretty happy. Oh! and tomorrow I'm going to the Taste of Chaos tour, so what that means is that I'm gonna go see Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold. (super-excited!)

So I've thought about posting stuff on here a lot, but haven't really brought myself to do it. I think I might try to make writing blogs a regular thing.

Wasn't today like, totally amazing? I'm in such a good mood, I'm so happy that it was so warm and sunny. I'm totally stoked for summer now. Too bad that I'm starting my full-time job on monday. At least I have weekends, right?

I've been trying to enjoy all the last bits of my life before work starts. I've been really busy that last 2 days and it's been really nice. I like feeling busy.
My parents got back yesterday from a 2 week vacation. They left me here all alone. It was really nice, it's kinda odd having them back in the house again, and I'm enjoying seeing them again.

I went to the movies with Jordana and we saw Smart People, it was good, I liked it anyways. We went to the mall and went shoe shopping, and I got totally awsome shoes. (buy on, get on half off, yo. How was I supposed to pass that up?) We got food and decided to try and find someplace outside to eat, and we ended up going to some small park and eating on the grass. It was really nice, it was dusk tho, so it was getting a little dark and we didn't stay too long. Doing that reminded me how nice it is to be outside. I'm more of an indoors person now, but I realized how much I miss being outdoors.

Sarah and I started talking again and hung out a while ago. I'm really glad we're talking again, I really feel like we have so much in common. :)
It made me realize that I don't really get out often enough with friends, and I really wanna change that.

Tom and I made up. So I guess everything is ok now.
I guess we were both just having a lot of stress in our lives and it just all came out.
I'm very glad we got it all taken care of, so don't worry about my last post. (DELETED!)

In other news, I've started helping out my cousin, she has a wedding photography business. So I totally like, helped shoot a wedding yesterday, That's pretty exciting! I had a lot of fun :)

Enjoy.

Well, school’s almost over! in about 2 weeks! I'm really looking forward to this summer. but there's still a good bit of stuff for me to do before school is over. I gave my informative speech in my public speaking class today. I' really glad to have that off my mind. It's crazy though, for that class we still have a persuasive speech coming up and we haven't even really started on that yet.
For my other classes I have 2 big papers due and then a few little things left to do.

I've been looking for another job. I've been doing so for a while. I've applied at some places but I haven't heard anything. from any of them, and some of them were like 2 months ago. so I'm not expecting to hear anything from them. I think that's weird though, cuz all of them were hiring. and at Starbucks, one of my coworkers at the photography place also works at starbucks and she said they needed to hire about 12 people, and since she works there she said I was almost guaranteed a job. I think it's been about 3 weeks now, and I haven't heard ANYTHING. It's kinda frustrating.
I'm gonna be looking so I'm not to despairing yet. But annoyed! because I wanted to work there.
So that's a bit of what's going on with me, I'll post more later. maybe. lol

Hey Everyone,

Life's been good, I was on spring break last week and that I might say, was sooo nice. I really like the idea of getting more than enough sleep :)

So now that break is done I'm starting into a new quarter. Last quarter Tom and I had the same classes that were all art related and pretty laid back. I realize even tho I thought they were boring, I'm gonna miss them. Tom and I don't have any classes together but we ride to adn from school together and we have an hour in between our 2 and 3 classes to just sit on the couches in the lounge and talk.

The Pierce college (we go to the one in Fort Steilacoom)is really nice. There are sky bridges and in the lounge where we like to hang out and in other area the walls are all windows and we're on the 3rd floor so you can look out and see the mountians and trees. It's actually pretty awsome there.

This quarter I have an English class, I like my teacher so far cuz he's not scary or mean. After that I have Public Speaking which I'm gonna say, is starting off interesting. I think the teacher is crazy, he seems nice and he's funny, but he's really high energy and rather excentric, today while we were cutting out pictures from magazines to make a collage-type thing about each of us, he put on a nature track. you know, like birds in the forest and some light rain and stuff.
Then I have a business and human relation class. It's only on Mon, wed and fridays. but it's longer so so far it's seemed kinda boring, but I hope i like it.

This week we started school and Tom got a new job, so I have evenings at home now, so I've been seeing my family a bit more. I've been helping out more here too because my mom just had surgery a week ago.

I feel like I could go on and on because I just have so much that's been going on that I just wanna be a little chatterbox.
But I will have mercy upon you all and stop here.. for today anyways :P

Ooh! and I learned how to change my journal/homepage thing, I think it's really cute. but I must say, live journal seems kida complicated, ya know?

I’m laying it all to rest.

Today I have been thinking about the past, and the Pandora’s box of emotions that I open every time I think about it. When I pry into the past it just brings it all back.

I’ve been thinking.
The past is gone. Nothing will ever change that. And no matter how much I might wish things hadn’t gone the way they had, that will never change. All that it will do is stop me from living my life and blinding me to how wonderful it really is.
I am so grateful for the love that I have, and for those who mean so much to me.

So no regrets, no more struggling against it. What’s done is done, and I can finally let it go.

Today has been wonderful. Today Tom and I had our one-year anniversary. He surprised me with lunch which he had made all by himself and everything was just perfect :) I love that guy, He's amazing. <3

As for some updates:
I'm not going to be attending Clover Park Tech anymore. I hate it. so I'm looking to be taking classes at Pierce this Winter, I think I'll like it a whole lot more.

Last week I got a job at Ross and I'm going in for training tomorrow. I'm a little scared, but I know everything will be ok. Wish me luck!

Uh, I can't really think of anything else to tell. So....
I love Tom! <3
teehee, that will be all.

Alrighty everyone! I am updating my Livejournal. I know, i know, it's something I don't do very often. Tom asked me to update. Has anyone noticed that LJ is dying? I don't know if it's because school's started back up or what, but like, no one is posting like they used to.

Anyways.. I started Clover Park Tech on the 25th. I really don't like it there very much so far. One of my instructors- john moyer is a great teacher, I like being in his classes, but my other 2 teachers are really stressing me out and I almost dread going to school. :(
But I figure that just fear because it's still new, it'll sink in and I’m thinking I'll just get used to it. I just can't wait for all of this schooling stuff to be over. I don't like it :P but I guess we all have to do something if we wanna get somewhere.
I'm looking for a new job right now, so I'm hoping that goes well. I think I'll like working a lot more than school because I like to know that I'm doing something that actually is giving me real-life results.

Well. Speaking of school, I better be gettin' to bed!

Ah.. My first chance to sit down today. Today was my brother's b-day, he turned 20. I got up this morning and did a little cleaning while he was out and then decided that I really should go get him a gift. Yeah.. last minute, I know I’m bad. I ended up getting him the complete Indiana Jones Collectors’ Box Set and he really liked it so I felt good about that. I'm getting a bit worried about my spending though. I've been saving up for when I got to Hawaii this later this month and I've had to borrow some out of it, but with my next paycheck I'll put the whole thing in. so I hope that takes care of it. It was ok until I spent a good bit on Andrew today. so that's just on the back of my head.

As for a party we got some ppl together and went Geocaching all day. For those of you who don't know what it is: it's treasure hunting using GPS systems instead of maps, there are million all over the world and you can go online to the official site and they'll give you coordinates and you plug em in and go hunting. You find a container and it will have a logbook and some sort of little trinkets. You sign your name, take what's there and put in something new.

The first one wasn't too bad. I actually found the cache and dug it out while the others were still stumbling around. I signed my name in the logbook and put it back. and later when everyone else found it they were like, WTF, how'd you find it first? and I was like Mooohahaha. Suckah... :P
Before that we were running through tall grass and my legs have a rash all the way from my knee to my ankles. Also, while running we were getting excited because we were getting real close and one of the guys is like, Go about 20 feet north! So I start running and promptly stepped into a swamp. the water came up about mid-calf but I couldn't see it before I hit it because all the tall grass hid it. and my shoes got completely soaked and all of us were a complete mess.

The other 3 locations we tried we couldn't find anything, but well all got plenty more torn-up. I'm exhausted now, I was kept too busy earlier to notice and I'm not in the best shape. But all in all it was a great time

I'm emo :(
I don't know why, but since about 5 or 6 I've been feeling really sad. I get this way sometimes when I'm sick, like I just wanna cry, and that's pretty rare.

So I guess I should update, yesterday morning (friday) I woke up and I was feeling kind of tired and I really didn't really feel that great, I was a little light-headed and such. I took a nap around 3 and got up at like 5 and I was really dizzy and had a bad headache and chills and was aching all over. I had plans to go to a baseball game that evening so I went ahead with those but I wasn't out too long. Tom thought it would be best that he brought me home to get some rest. He was right. I fell asleep as soon as I got home which was about 7:30-8 I think. I was alseep until 10:30-11 and was in absolute misery. The rest of my family got home around 11:30 and my mom was like, OMG, what's wrong with you??? She took my temp and it was 104. She called the nurse hotline to see what would be the best to do for me and the nurse said to give me asprin and take me in to go get checked out.

We got to the hospital around 12:30 and it took a few hourse to actually be seen. and I kept trying to sleep and there were little kids that were like, 2 and running around and screaming at 2 in the morning so that made sleep kind anot possible. When I did see the doctor he gave me tylonol. He was rather shocked that a nurse said to give me asprin becuase that could cause Rhye syndrom and cause me to to have some issues with living. I remembered that I'd known that a long time ago but I'd forgotten.

I got home about 3:30 and I felt pretty good. my temp was down to 101 and I only had a little bit of a headache. On top of that I was rather hyper since I had gotten so much sleep that day.

I still feel really good today, I only have a little bit of a headahce and I feel pretty hot. I've taken my temp twice already but it showes that I'm acutally below the normal body temp. So yeah, that was pretty weird. but hopefully this all totally goes away soon.

Ok, so this is great. One girl here is bashing my friend, so I leave a little comment on her blog that's ranting against my friend. And what doe she do? deletes it. Ok, she did the same thing to my friend. she blocked her on IMs, LJ and refused to talk to her on the phone. and now she's saying that my friends did that instead of her. Well.... considering she just did the same to me... >.>

There isn't much to this, I'm just ticked off right now.

But you know what? I don't care, I'm not gonna talk to her or try to argue with her, so whatever.

Other than that life is good, can't complain :) Last day for seniors today. I'm gonna miss evreyone so much :( but at the same time I'm proud to see all of my friends graduate. They're some great people and I'm so happy for them :)

Congrats to all of you! :D

So it's nice to have a four-day weekend, ya know that? I know haven't updated in quite some time. I finally got my computer last week and have immensly been enjoying that. Right now I'm putting a lot of music on here and organizing it, so I figured while I wait for it to transfere I might as well do this. So let's seee... I've been really tired this past week, and I know that I haven't been getting enough sleep. I took a 5+ hour nap today. I was exhausted, But after I got up around 7 I felt great, I fianlly have energy AND time.
I've been a bit down this past week but I think I know why. It was all nice and sunny and in the 80s and stuff and then the weather totally changed. It's been all dark and raining all the time for the past 5 days. so I know that sudden changes like that affect me a bit. School's been ok, still stressful though. there's just so much to think about right now.
Oh, and we got our yearbooks yesterday. I must say that they're rather.. interesting. They're silver- like all the way. It looks like someone covered them in aluminum foil. and a lot fo the pictures are difficult to see becuase they just took pitures in color and made them greyscale. They desperatly need contrast and some look kind fuzzy.
(oh, and jamie, you're in there. We miss youuu! you should come back and sign yearbooks.)

Uh.. I can't think of anythign else right now. I had more earlier but I lost it. So until next time: Buhbye!

So life's been pretty good, a bit busy but I can't complain. I've been feeling rather sick today. :(
I think it's allergies because I've been slightly bothered the past few days and I've been outside a bit with work. When it gets bad like it is now I feel like I have a low-grade fever. and on top of that, I know this might sound weird but do you ever have it that like, your taste will be off for about a week and everything just tastes funny? that's been annoying me.
I just got back from work. I got there and apparently they scheduled a few extra people so Russ was like, "You're feeling sick huh?" yeah.. "Go home." Sweet. I wasn't gonna argue.

Other than that I haven't been doing a whole lot today. I felt horrible this morning so I missed school, which I feel bad about but I know there's no way I could have made it through the day. I cleaned Oonagi's water. I also feel bad that I've been so busy and he hasn't gotten the best attention from me lately. The phone has been ringing ALL DAY and that's been driving me nuts. lol.

I still have to finish up the filming for a project in my Japanese class. It's so hard because every time I have a spare minute the two other girls are busy. so that's a bit stressful, but I hope I'm able to figure something out soon.
I've had so many things I've had to do for a while and I actually remembered to work on some of those today.(I finally had time to burn those CDs for you Tom!) My birthday's on Sunday and I finally have dinner arrangements and reservations.. but now I have to tell call everyone and tell them when or where since the plans have totally changed. well, maybe not totally but yeah, tomato/tamato.. :P

my dreams have been pretty weird for about this whole past week. They're just really real and intense and some of them have kinda affected me emotionally throughout the day, and they make me feel like i didn't actually get to sleep very much at all. It's weird. But I'm still in a good mood.

I am now eating my batman spaghetti-oh's and chillin in my PJs and work shirt :P I'm gonna go play some Zelda for a bit.

So yeah, Today's been a long day. what am I talking about, it's been a long week. Ever since I got sick I've been in a bit of an odd mood. I've just been rather down and cranky. Yesterday was bad, I wanted to yell at everyone, and by everyone I mean stupid ppl of course. mostly family. I'm still feeling a little more on edge today, but definitely not as bad. I'm getting really, REALLY annoyed at my choir class. they're all pretty young and always are running around in circles screaming (because hey, that's what freshman do). That's fourth period, so by the time I get home I'm worn out. But good news right now, I feel better after writing this out. SO I'm not cranky today. I'm in a good mood as of now.

I've also been having issues with a sore back and neck, that's been ever since my fever started abouy one to two weeks ago. So my parents got me into a chiropractor right after school. He seems pretty cool, it's been a long time since I've been in to see one. I kinda forgot what it was like.
So this guy scanned my back to see where my muscles have been working. so mild strain is about 0-10%and severe is over 15% It turns out that my lower back (the area that's been hurting real bad) is working at 4289%. dag. and my neck about 3000%. My readings were off the chart. like by a lot. so it's a good thing I'm getting in.

Now I'm bored... bored as a doornail. so I'm gonna go.. uh.. sit around...
Maybe I'll get out and do something, but that's just an idea.

Hey everyone. Life's been good. I've been sick all this past week and everyone says they think it's the flu.. dag. but good new is I'm feeling much better today :) I'm still coughing a bit and sleeping a lot but I feel pretty close to being normal.
I'm a bit stressed because of missing this entire past week of school. ugh, I am not looking forward to going back but I know I can handle it.
I called in sick for work tomorrow because I know my body wouldn't be up to working out in the cold weather. (I work for Legends Sports Photograhpy so that = long, long hours in the cold, and lots of heavy equipment to carry.) When I called my boss he said it was probably a good idea that I stayed home and got some rest. So it's nice to have that off my shoulders.
Tom got sick first and then I got it from him. He seems to have it worse than I do tho :(
but hopefully we both get fully better soon.

so that's about it for now, I'll update again soon hopefully!

Ok, I actually think I am gonna start trying to figure out how this bloody LJ thing works.. I must say I find it very difficult to understand so far. But yeah.. just to let you know that I have not abandoned this account!
