For once I think you miss me more than I miss you..

I effing suck at keeping this thing updated.
Anyway, Christmas was great. I worked Christmas Eve again, and it was nice. Ellis and his family came in to eat so I actually got to see him in person. We've been talking a lot lately. It kinda scares me how much we have in common. And I finally got to work with Taylor. He and I have become quick friends. Maria, you would have the biggest crush on him. He's only 14 but he could easily pass for 18. He's a cutie! And I got to finally give Jeremy his Christmas present that I had been working on for weeks. Here's a few pics of it..

I must say, I'm proud of it. Even if Michael freehanded the design on there for me.. Hehe.

New Years was fun too. I got to work at 3 P.M., and didn't get home til 2 A.M. which was honestly better than I was expecting. I'm personally against energy drinks because of how bad they are for you, but if I hadn't had a Monster, there is no way in hell I would have gotten through the night/morning without it!

And I got a 30GB iPod for Christmas. I'm in love. : )

Ok enough for now, more later!

There's something wrong with me. Again. My mother thinks it's an ovarian cyst. I know some people who've had them. And I also know someone who's burst, and she almost died. Beats having a burst appendix like I was starting to think, but still. Sheisse!
Thanksgiving was awesome cause Jaymez came from WV, and Michael came over too. It was awesome.
HOPEFULLY, we can come up with some money to by this TINY little Chihuahua puppy named Holly. My mom and I went over to Thelma's (the lady who sold us Petey) and she had these beautiful teacup Chihuahua puppies. Only $200 but it is Christmas time, so YEA! So my mom just told me she's going to bring Thelma some things to butter her up, and hopefully she'll give her to us. Well, that's the plan at least... ; p

Alright you guys. I'm going to try this LJ thing again. I need somewhere to go to write about shit, and MySpace is definitely not the place to do it. I don't have time to update at the moment (not to mention where to begin!) but I'll try to get on at least every week. <3

On June 9 was the Keystone party in Richmond. Oh my God it was a blast! I got to meet my girl Sam, and my boys Ron and Tim! It was awesome, and I can't wait till next year!
We went to a Toto concert on the 28th and surprisingly it freakin rocked. And we got caught in a storm on the way home, and about died. Seriously. Even my dad yelled and though we were gonna get washed off the road or struck by lightning. Haha.
Well, even though I said something totally stupid to Valentin on MySpace a while back, it's all patched up! My boss called me one day and asked if I knew anyone who needed a job. I immediately though of him, and when we asked him he was ecstatic. So long story short, V works at Cafe with me now! And we're getting to be really good friends again. Yay. He and Tommy are in Japan as we speak. For two weeks, and they get back on Wednesday. Katrina left for Italy on Monday, and she's gonna be gone for 40 days. So I took her out to dinner at Cafe as a sort of Last Supper for a while, and it was great. Russ kept us thoroughly entertained.
School is finally picking up since I'm not on MySpace all day like I was before. It's nice and I'm going to keep it that way. Till next time....

Well,another year gone by...

I worked on Christmas Eve till 11:30. I had a great time cause Mom, Dad, and Kate came in at around 9 and stayed until it we cleaned up so they could take me home. On Christmas morning, we went to church so we didn't open gifts till 1:45 cause Mom made us go to church. That went over well. But afterwards i couldn't help but feel bad cause after all, that is the real reason for Christmas and i shouldnt be like that.

I also worked New Year's Eve. From 4:15 till 2:00 A.M.
10 hours

OOOHHHH so here's what i got for christmas!

-Lots of like PJ stuff

-A huge calendar

-Three Narnia books caused im curious

-Three thumbhole thermal from Delias

-White Sheets

-Tate's (this stuff is awesome)

-Lindt Chocolate

-Knee High striped and Argyle socks (so sex and the city i must say hee)

-Four 14kt gold necklaces and three 14kt gold bracelets . i was like WHOA!!!! gotta share them with kate though

-Burt's bees concealer

-an AWESOME coinpurse-esque handbag with two necklaces inside. ones an antique locket and one's a cameo

-$100

-and my bosses gave me a $20 gift card to this breakfast place down the street plus $25. i <3 them

grrrr... oh wait i think i already used that heading once

soooooo on the forever 21 site i found this GORGEOUS burgundyish color jacket. its the one on the model. however, they dont actually offer that color. and they took the pic of the friggin site. sheesh
but they did have some hot pencil skirts. i want a pencil skirt. but i gotta get some shoes to go with them. i just cant get around to going to the mall so i can maybe get those shoes ive been wanting for over a year. black round-toe pumps with a big silver buckle on the tip. so cute.

this past weekend was great. jaymez came. he said he wanted a baseball cap so my dad brought down his collection and let him pick one. hehehehe but jaymez has an enormous head AND a fro, so when he put it on his hair poufed out on the sides. and guess what? we got pictures.

then sadie called on saturday and wanted me to come over sunday night, but i was like well i gotta take dance class, so i invited her to take the class with me. so she did, and loved it. i was happy cause she only has about a year of ballet training but she kept up great! and we watched benny and joon at her house and at about 11:45 we looked at each other and were like i totally gotta eat something or im gonna die. so we made ramen at 11:45. and i almost started the kitchen on fire.

so, jackie (a lady i work with who is also jeremy's mom) said that she and jeremy are gonna leave Cafe asap. that crushes me. i love both of them. tear. and i was talking to steve who i thought was about 17 and then he told me he was 23! and he used to be Grace's (the other female busser) stepbrother. small world.

wow this is a record for me length wise. sorry guys! im quite a babbler

fun times...........

i decided to just go for it and get bangs. and im glad i did cause i love them! yes, they are emo bangs, but im not emo so it doesnt matter to me!

last night was great. it was katrina's birthday, and we had a surprise party for her. she thought she was just gonna be spending the day with her boyfriend zach,and then the rest of us showed up. we had a blast. we all got on her bed (mind you there were eight of us and all piled on top of each other and hanging off the bed)and taylor turned on the blacklight and started taking pictures of anything that moved. we were all falling off the bed and laughing our asses off. we got some great pictures. then we went to see harry potter at 6:30 which i loved. drove zach to his friends house and then went home. it was great cause i havent even hung out with trina in months.....

soo.. thanksgiving on thursday. i hope jaymez is coming. he better. hes probably going to stuff his face at jane's house first and then come here with no appetite like he always does. HAHAHAHAHA last year we pulled a prank on him. before he arrived we concocted up a plate of turkey neck and giblets, burnt sweet potatoes, and something else i cant remember. he just sat there with this smile on his face like "oh sweet jesus. i dont know what to do".katie and i about DIED. jaymez is usually pretty sharp, and i cant believe he of all people fell for it. he hasnt been able to even get close to getting us back for that one!

springtime is over
don't head for home
creep up the ladder
and steal over stone

no time to forget this
world's in your eyes
sway in the cloud blur
and light up the sky

cast off the colour
and tune into black
the moon touches your shoulder
and brings the day back

I thought I had just got a whiff of myself there but..." haha

"OSAKA BONDAGE!!!"

i love that song. r.lee does killer vocals.

im sitting here enjoying a mocha frappucino. isnt that just great?

anyway, sunday was my dad's 50th birthday, and we went to Cafe for dinner. it was Loic's birthday on the 7th so we got him a gift and were giving it to him before we left and out of the blue Karleen's like ,"We're looking for a busser." i thought i was imagining it. i thought she'd never ask me back there after losing my job 2 years ago because i didn't call her for a month. (DUMB) so i have to call her today. wish me luck! you make good money working at a fancy French restaurant.

im doing this essay question in Geography.here's the question:

"Taken as a whole, what would you say is the single most pressing problem found in Latin America or South America? What possible solutions can you develop?"

if i can develop possible solutions to poverty, then i should be president.

"The butterfly sailed on the breeze"

The butterfly sailed on the breeze
Past a field of barbed-wire trees
Where golden dragons chased around
Pampered puppies on the ground
Two silver trout sat way on high
And watched a royal samurai
Plant to black orchids in a box
And strap it to a laughing fox
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
He gave it to a blue baboon
Who filled it full of virgin snow
And wandered in the afterglow

Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake
They found it hard to stay awake
A pharoah played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
I didn't know what all this meant
I didn't know why I'd been sent

"The promise is made but my heart is thine"

my back still hurts from saturday. even though duh i know its not, it feels broken. we resurfaced our longass driveway. but hey i got paid and i get new shoes, so im happy. but still in pain.

soooo, a week or two ago i heard my friend chris who is 17 is going to be a DAD. this will be his girlfriend's (17 also) SECOND child. and her first is two, so you do the math. and you know what? i honestly dont think it was an accident.

woohoo Renaissance Festival next weekend!!!!! and im not completely broke!

im hoping i can paint my room soon. i finally decided on a color. grey. big surprise there RIGHT?!?




valentin and some of his friends were being pulled on their skateboards by a VW beetle with a spoiler. i was amused.

i hate the sun

soooo, performance on saturday. so katie and i get there and we luckily run into tammy. she shows us where to go, and we notice there is a band setting up on the stage we're supposed to be performing on in a half hour. so we ask the drummer whats going on and he said the orchestra went on for over two hours, and they still havent gone. so when lisa arrived and heard this, she threw a tantrum. i got kinda mad cause i mean shes 35 years old, grow the hell up. so she ended up getting her way, and had someone make the band ahead of us cut their act short.
they were not happy. all because lisa had to be a diva.
so we were performing on stage with no shade for over a half hour. i got heat exhaustion. i felt like my heart was going to explode and my ears were going to burst. it looks great on the tape though.
the belly dancers were there too. i really want to take belly dancing.

on saturday night we got a HUGE hail storm. on the weather channel it said it was supposed to be nickel size, which it was at first. but then it got to golf ball size and i saw a few baseball sized ones too.

i went shopping yesterday!!! i picked up my skirt, (burgundy knee length with lace), and a black tunic with a lace neck. it looks like a gaynor minden leotard in discount dance. and a new wallet.


i cant sleep anymore. everynight i wake up at least eight times, and it takes me hours to get to sleep in the first place.

lookin good!

saturday looks clear! i got some jazz shoes yesterday. like pointe shoes, i could live in them! oh so comfy. i needed them because apparently our stage is a deck. with splinters and staples. cant wait! i got chosen to be in susan's piece! i like her choreography cause she lets you play with it. oh yeah and susan's preggers!
i got a letter from Nishie today. i haven't talked to her in two years!!! so i wrote her a book back. i want to start hangin out with some of my old friends again. i miss them.

well, we decided to spend the money we get from selling 3 of our boats, NOT on a vacation. oh well, at least we get to go to Rennaissance Festival again. ive been looking forward to that the entire year.

alright, its time for my tuesday night shows.

i really want to go to new orleans. i want all of the footage where people either have to leave their pets to be rescued, or stay with them, and risk death. its not fair. to be honest, i would stay with my dogs. i;ve really been thinking about, and i want to go there and try to rescue as many pets as possible, and try to later reunite them with their owners. it totally kills me to see these people saying goodbye to their best friends.

i hope that Artsfest doesnt get rained out like it has for the past two years, cause everyone is working so hard on these pieces.
