I am finally going to get my phone back... A long awaited reunion. I have the Juke right now... through Verizon.. it sucks. I lose it all the time in my purse (I should down size.. but I can't). So pIah is gonna send it to me (I told him on Wednesday not to talk to me until Monday... He texted me EVERY night. how much he misses me.. Thankfully.. no more dick pictures). We decided that he just can't get over me.. because of these awesome skills my family and I allllll share.. They OBVIOUSLY have to do with sex... I will stop there.

So my sister is in Ohio. He friend is in a coma now.. from getting in a car accident. Sending my prayers out to her. Hope for a safe trip back for Mary and Dawn.

I love Casey.

I can't wait to go back to Nashville

I miss my mom.. and need to buy a plane ticket to NY soon

I have had four cups of coffee

I am still tired

I think I need to stay away from boys whose name starts with D... sorry guys.

I was told I need to get a boob job this weekend. Met a girl who had one.. loves them. Maybe not. fake doesn't work for me. we are not friends.

I have brown hair!!!!

I will post pictures of my adventures soon... I just bought batteries for my camera.. so I will have it all the time now. Lucky you.

My brother got his second deer of the season. Its only been like a week. I want some jerky

Messed Up In Japan

okay.. so I didn't plan on writting again.. but I HAD to..

Remember the messed up video game I talked about a while ago? Where men are actually DATING a video game? Well....


...

Some dumb ass guy actually MARRIED one. Or at least tried to.. as much as you can get married to a video game.Here is the link

Ya know how kids will say: "I love my toy truck" and another will say "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?" I guess this guy took that seriously. But.. he's not that cute anyways.. so I guess all he could get was a 12 year old looking virtual GIRL VIDEO GAME...



excuse me while I vomit

I HEART DMB

After getting my Dave fix for the day... I decided that these couple of videos/songs were worth listening to/watching. I looooove Dave.. I would recommend that EVERYONE experience one of his concerts!! You would have fun being sober, but I would not recommend it =)

Dream Girl

Gravedigger


Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd (I was at this one!!)

Grey Street
(My 3rd tattoo)

Where Are You Going?

Lover Lay Down

Honestly.. I could really go on forever.. and I will.. later =)


O and a Casey update: Her purse was found!!! YAY!!!!
Which makes my prediction for tonight a good one!!!

No Comment

Hi all!!

Today is going to be a good day... no matter how tired I am. My twin (Cory), Aiden and Jon are all coming today.. and I can't wait! Those boys + Brady.. make my day when I am with them. I couldn't ask for better family or friends.

Last night was... okay. Went out to eat at Flamingo Row with Drew (hes cute).. came back to Caron's and started cleaning/cooking in preparation for Thursday and had a couple beers. I listened to the new Dave CD that I now have (YAY)!!!! The last song, "You & Me"... is amazing. The lyrics are WONDERFUL! I told Old Dan.. that when he finds someone he loves (but less than me) he has to dedicate this song to her (and it will be a girl.. if I have TWO exes who go gay on me.. I think I'll die).. it's so good. It melts my heart. Speaking of Old Dan.. He threw his back out recently. Hope your feeling spectacular Sparky!!! He truly is my best friend. My life would not be the same without him. I'm glad I have him around.. esp. when I need someone to talk to who knows me.. sometimes better than I know myself.

Anywho.. So i vacuumed Caron's entire house.. we made dressing and chocolate pies (my favorite). Tomorrow I am making the mashed potatoes. We are going to have 20 ppl at Caron's so it should be exciting. I don't plan on being sober (at least not totally sober.. I have to keep some composer while my grandparents are there. But if I am wasted by 3, when they leave, I have more problems than I thought).

I am hoping the work day goes by quickly.. I may try to leave at 12, Caron needs my help!! (good excuse?) My alarm never went off this morning.. which annoys me. It always does that.. I don't know why (which is obvious. If I did know why.. I would have fixed it by now). I also decided that I was quitting smoking at New Years.. which is prolly the same resolution my mom has.. however.. I will actually keep it =).. (sorry mom but your resolution has been to quit smoking for the past four years.. I believe in ya tho!) .. just a side note.. I have listened to "You & Me" four times so far.. and as for a coffee update.. I'm behind.. on cup two.


O.. BIG NEWS!!! Casey was on the news last night!!! And because I love her, oh so much... I am going to put the link on here so you can alll enjoy it!!! (shes the pretty blonde) So start locking your doors.. and make sure you rub those marks off your windshield from your gps (abso ridiculous if you ask me.. I think that if someone is THAT dumb.. The stupid mark on your window may be something over looked.. I mean, If you have the dumb suction cup mark.. and a back seat full of shopping bags.. I don't think the mark on the window will lure in thieves. But that is the first thing the creepy news guy told us.. to rub the cradle mark off your windshield. Just a piece of advice).

That is all for now.. Hope you all have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! (just a short side story.. My gandad told me that Thanksgiving was not about anyone.. not the kids, or the family.. but about Jesus.. so we all had to stop being simply GLAD about everything.. but really THANKFUL. UGH... so.. yeah. I deal with that EVERY morning. Also, he thinks that people who smoke should die. Hes a very nice, christian man, really.)

Some Randomnes

Dear boy, man, who ever broke into Casey's car,
You are causing a lot of chaos over a measly $7. So if you could be so nice, please return her purse.. along with all of her stuff... that would be greatly appreciated. You can keep the $7. She told me so. Also, stop breaking windows.. if your going to break into a million cars in one night.. you should hone up on your car breaking into skills and unlock the doors. However, I guess if you aren't smart enough to take something of actual value to yourself, your prolly not smart enough to break into a car without actually damaging the car.
you suck,
Ashley

^^ there Casey, I tried. I've got your back, girl.

Today is dragging along!!! I want tomorrow to get here.. but not tomorrow morning.. more like tomorrow at 5 o'clock.. so I can go see the loves of my life. So of course today has to feel like an eternity.. because I have something to look forward to. Damn you, time.

I read today that there is a man in California who is Charles Manson's son. I don't know if that it true or not.. but I feel bad for him. He is doomed. I hope he realizes that. I am fascinated my Charles Manson. My senior year in high school.. I wrote a 16 page paper on him and how messed up he is. Very interesting stuff. Hes so creepy.. he gives me the heebeejeebees. That swastika on his forehead is not working for him! I wonder if anyone has told him that. Didja know that when he was a baby, his mom traded him for a pitcher of beer.. and his uncle used to send him to school dressed as a girl.. so he would get beat up and learn to defend himself? That's so messed up!!! How can any person in their right mind think that doing that would benefit a child... instead of making him.. crazy and ... well.. just crazy.

Yesterday, on facebook, under the part where they recommend you reconnect with your friends.. They suggested my friend Sheldon, who recently passed away. Usually I just x out of them all, because its annoying. I can't bring myself to do it this time. So every time I get on facebook.. its there. telling me to write him a message. So Sheldon, I'm thinking about you.

I think I am going to go take a nap during my lunch break. I don't know why I am so tired.. but I am. I hate it. I think I have become immune to coffee.. and coffee cannot do that to me. I'm so faithful to coffee... why would it ever want to disappoint me in that way?!

My mom is going to come see me during my birthday!! My dad will also be here. My mom hasn't seen my dad since I first met my dad.. when I was seven. So that should be interesting.. but I think in a good way. I think it's kind difficult to dislike my dad... even tho he pisses me off from time to time (thankfully, a lot less now). My mom is also such a good person. I filled her in on everything.. including the dick pictures I got from pIah... She laughed. She knows everything about me. And to think, we used to hate each other (not that I can blame her.. i was a huge bitch.. the very definition of complicated teenager). So all you parents out there with girls.. it gets better, I promise!!!

Nap time for me!!
xoxoxox

I Don't Do Mornings

Dear, 7a.m.

Do you really need to come right after 6a.m.? Because EVERY morning.. I struggle to get out of bed. Its really inconvenient when I am the type of person to say "screw it, I'm gonna sleep a little longer".. then I am late and my hair looks like shit because I didn't give myself enough time to do it. So you see, 7a.m., you should really think about other people. I am almost positive that MANY people would like to see you come after 8a.m. I would kill (not literally) for an extra hour of sleep. Please think about it. I would like to be friends.. but I think we just have different interests. Sorry, Ashley
Now that that's taken care of and I am starting on my second cup of coffee... I would like to briefly mention that Jon & Kate + 8.... is soooo over rated. Well, not really... but shut up about them!!! They are just like 80% of the American population.. but they have four extra kids. Get over them. Also, Jennifer Lopez.. she fell. It sucks. Oopsie daisy... end of story.

Last night I (obviously) wen't to Caron's. We got ready for Thanksgiving. I stamped some dinner napkins with glittery, leaf shaped stamps. We also went grocery shopping and bought all of Kroger. You are welcome Kroger! I am convinced that my family is a big part of their success.

I got some texts from pIah last night too. He loves and misses me... that's the update there. I just don't say anything anymore. I thought that he would stop.. but he hasn't. I wish his mom was still there... she would at least be able to brain wash him into thinking I was a no good, American girl who focused too much on myself instead of taking care of my "man" and our house. Fuck her.

Soo last night, on abc, there was a preview of a show they are airing. It's called "Find My Family" or something like that. It is heartbreaking. I balled. I could not stop crying! It's about people being reunited with their relatives.. who were separated because of adoption. It makes me THANKFUL I have the family I do. A family who made sure that even if my dad wasn't prepared, they still wanted to be involved. It also makes me happy that I met him when I was seven. IF I was 29.. like the girl last night.. I don't know that I would have been as cool, calm and collected as she was. Good for you, girl! It gets kinda annoying when I cry.. just because I see someone else crying.. or if something is sooo happy. Some people don't know how to respond to that. Can be awkward at times.

So for now, that's all I have to say.. I am sure.. Thank God.. I will have something to say later today. Stay tuned! =)

today's favorite

this song is awesome

Man On The Side - John Mayer... he is my vice today. The song is heartbreaking.

Need You Now - This is also a good song


Anyways..

I am having a very hard time dealing with pIah. He wants a booty call... or as he puts it... He feels he deserves one more intimate moment before we say goodbye for good... Ummmm.... HELLLOOO?!?!?!?! we said goodbye for good like three weeks ago!! Why do men think that women are so stupid? I mean, If I had said okay, it wouldn't be becasue I fell into his trap.. but more simply because I would have wanted to have sex. I mean, who doesn't?! But with him? No thanks. It may have been good.... but like my brother likes to say... "sex is like pizza. Even when its bad, its good." So I showed the Casey the pictures he sent me.. and we had a good time picking on him... I laugh my ass off whenever I am with her..

Speaking of good times with Casey.. we are planning on going to Nash Vegas in a couple of weeks. I can not wait!!!! I love going to see my favorite boys... and I also love to dance.. which is exactly what we will be doing!!! When I was a freshman in college.. one of my best friends, Mohammed told me I danced too much like a white girl.. so when I would go hang out with him on nights I had too much to drink.. we would listen to music.. and a whole bunch of us would dance.. until one day... he told me I was a good dancer.. which was a big compliment coming from him!! sooo that's how I learned how to dance.

Have I mentioned how much I can't wait to see the boys?!?!?! Because I can't wait to see the boys.

The day is passing quickly.. thank God

Crazy, Wonderful Weekends

It was a good weekend.. but I am exhausted this morning. I think that my usual 5-6 cups of coffee needs to be upped to 8-9 this morning. I am on number two.. the countdown begins...

So Friday after work... I went home... cleaned up my shit that accumulated throughout the week (I hate things being messy) and called my aunt to come pick me up... but before I could start my weekend of drinking beer and sleeping in.. I had to come BACK to work because some girl decided to come in and sign something right after I had left... and she was a bitch the whole time.. ugh.. i hate mean ppl.

So Aunt Caron came and got me after the electrician left her house (she blew something in her fuse box... and the whole house was out). Had a couple beers.. ate some good food (food is always good at Grasey's) .. then Casey came!

We got cigarettes.. put the kids to bed and sat in Rat's (Casey's moms) garage until 3 in the morning. Needless to say.. by the time we went to bed.. I was hammered.. I believe Casey was too.. (I fell asleep while she was talking to me.. Sorry hunnie!!) and the next morning.. I had smoked all but three cigarettes in the pack I bought the night before... I opened them at Rats house.... grosss.... I really need to quit.
So as always.. when there is any kind of a girls night.. there is A LOT of talking.. about EVERYONE. So.. if we know you.. we prolly talked about you. actually... we definitely talked about you.

Saturday morning.. after sleeping in (YAY!!!) i woke up.. went downstairs.. and nobody was there. I thought Casey should have been up with the kids.. so i was a tad confused. I texted her and she was at her dick head of an ex husband's house packing her shit... by herself (bad decision, love). So she called Rat. In the meantime.. Caron had come to pick me up and we decided we would go help her (we figured she prolly needed it). Casey's ex is just like pIah.. I mean... we should seriously hook them up, maybe they can be butt buddies or something (oh.. a whole side story.. I got TWO naked pictures from pIah.. saying that I will never get someone like him. Never anyone who was as good in bed, good looking, blah blah blah.. I am half tempted to put them on here... and those just prove the whole psycho part of the "psycho Italian ass hole" nickname. I also got one this morning.. it just grosses me out.. I don't know why guys think their dicks are attractive.. but they aren't.. sorry guys. Or maybe its just me.. but getting a picture of a huge boner is just.. disturbing. I mean, really? I used to get guys to do that in high school.. then I would show all of my friends and we would laugh about it... its not hot ). Sooo after we got Casey moved.. I went back to Caron's, had a few beers and went to bed.

Sunday.. thank GOD.. I got to sleep in.. I slept till like one. Every time I woke up.. even if I wasn't tired.. I would go back to sleep.. just for the sake of sleeping. I love sleeping. Then I went home.. showered.. hung out in bed and watched "The Wedding Singer" (love that movie). Made some tortellinis for "supper"... ( I was supposed to go to a Thanksgiving dinner with my grandparents at their church yesterday morning. They told me dinner.. and apparently "dinner" in the south means "lunch." And I obviously didn't go because I slept till one.. I didn't make it (bummer). I got out of it.. because my Granny realized that dinner is lunch in NY.. but I really did think it was going to be at "supper" time.. not lunch time).

After I showered I went back to Caron's, watched some of the AMA's .. went to pick up Rat so she could stay the night.. and cleaned the play room so it would be ready for Thanksgiving!!! YAY!!!

I can't wait for Thanksgiving.. and for my favorite boys to get here.. and to eat good food.. yumm.

Soooo since I just typed my entire weekend.. I'm going to do something productive.. like read gossip online.. maybe I'll have something to say about that later today!!

Coffee update.. four cups
Good Morning!!!

Teasingly Warm

A few things for this morning (which is teasingly warm)..

My Aunt Caron told me a couple nights ago that the woman who was attacked by the chimp (my heart goes out to her) was the woman who wrote all of the Harry Potter books. I was so shocked!! I mean, that's an awful thing to happen, to anyone, but the woman who writes Harry Potter?! Then the next day, I find out it wasn't her. The woman who it did happen to, she is prolly one of the strongest people EVER... to have that happen and still go on daytime television, trying to forgive and move on. I wouldn't be able to.

My little sister, Mary, told me last night that her boyfriend was wonderful. Now... I know what I meant when I said my first boyfriend was "wonderful." I was hopelessly in love... and having sex. She better not be having sex!! I'm gonna have to beat this kids ass when I meet him.. either that or just scare the shit out of him. I may not be big.. but I can be scary when it comes to my siblings... Ill have to take up jujitsu for a month.. learn some sweet new moves!! ha.

Pandora is really upsetting me this morning. I'm not having the best of mornings.. I woke up late.. and brought my straightener to work so I could do my hair here... but I don't feel like it.. and it looks like a huge frizz ball right now.. it really is a pretty picture... whoever snags me up.. is going to wake up to sheer b-e-a-uty in the a.m. hahaha

A girl who reads my blog told me that I need to make the 25 list.. so I guess I'll think about that.. it should pass time a little more quickly.. lets hope.

I guess I'm supposed to do 25 random things, thoughts, goals, etc about myself. Because my blog is about me.. the millions of people that read this will OBVIOUSLY appreciate knowing more stuff about me!! so here goes..

1. I read magazines from back to front.
2. I hate the snow. It makes me nervous, especially when I'm driving. The scar on the side of my face, from an accident, is because of snow. ugh.
3. I am afraid of the dark. I will sleep with the lights on after I see a scary movie.
4. I looooove to dance.. esp. with Cory Camp.. and usually like a black girl. Hey, I try
5. I wish I was a health nut. But instead.. I smoke, drink, eat unhealthy and don't exercise. However, I justify it by telling myself that as long as I'm having a good time and I look good, it doesn't matter
6. I reallly really like to watch football. I don't have a favorite team, i don't always know what is going on and I don't know names of players... but I LOVE to watch it
7. I LOVE my family. Its pretty confusing/ messed up/ wonderful... however you wanna look at it.. but I would never trade any of them. For anything.
8. I am by every definition a romantic. I cry to pretty much every movie, tv show, song that can in any way be sad, happy, whatever.. if it can be looked at as sweet.. I'll cry. I'm in love with love.. seeing people in love makes me happy. haha.. dorky? prolly.
9. I love to sing in the car.. and i do all of t he time. no matter who i am with and usually pretty loud. I also sing in the shower.
10. I don't like to brush my teeth in the bathroom. I would rather walk around.. trying to talk to someone with toothpaste falling out of my mouth. If you can understand me when I am brushing my teeth.. your my best friend.
11. I think you should take every possible advantage to tell someone you love them. You never know when you aren't going to be able to say it again
12. I wear too much perfume
13. I'm not a natural blond (even if I act like it sometimes) and I want my brown hair back.
14. I have three tattoos.. and I want another one. Brady is gonna draw it for me. I think it will be the best one yet (thanks, Brady)
15. I take really long showers and have an intense shower routine. I also don't like to shower by myself
16. I hate sleeping in my bed if the sheets aren't changed weekly.. i heard this thing about bed bugs and it creeped me out.... oh, I am very gullible
17. I love to dress up, wear heels, long earrings, lots of jewelry.. but I am most comfortable and feel the best when I am in jeans, a t shirt/ hoodie, my chucks and no make-up
18. Coffee gets me through the day. I am NOT a morning person. I'm also very hard to wake up.
19. I think I can relate a TON of music to my life. I looooove music. All kinds.
20. I'm affraid of getting old. I am also afraid of not being able to remember these times. I want to be the grandmother who tells stories.. not the same one over and over.
21. I looooove kids. I think they are wonderful. Everyone could learn something from a five year old. They are the only people who know EXACTLY what they are talking about... even if they don't.
22. I have sloppy hand writing
23. I laugh a lot when I drink.. I also talk too close to peopls faces.. and talk about ANYTHING that comes to mind. But I think its funny.. and I can't say I've ever had a morning after where I had a regret.
24. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my shoulders.
25. I am starting to realize what is really important in life.. and i want to make the best of everyday... and laugh as much as possible... which is pretty easy with friends and family like mine


So there it is. Think you know me a little bit more?!?!
Have a good day!!!

PMS

Saw this today while I was blog stalking.. thought I would share


See.. it really IS that bad... sometimes I want to be a man.. but then again.. I would miss out on all the fun girl stuff to do!!

Maroon 5 rocks my socks

I fell back in love with Maroon 5 this morning. And because I am in a good mood.. I would like to make some of their greeaat music easily available. I feel that music can help when times are tough.. and this music always does it for me!!

ENJOY!!

Nothing Lasts Forever

Infatuation - I love this one!!

Back At Your Door

Won't Go Home Without You

If I Never See Your Face Again this video is cool, I think. very sexy..

Harder To Breath

Maybe not what you are into. If not, you are missing out!! Thank me later ; )

Drama Dads and Drama Dans

Well last night was interesting!! (but I guess I feel that a bunch of my nights are interesting.. go figure)

My baby sister (shes not really a baby.. but shes 16 and sometimes acts like one =) LOVE YOU MARYBETH!!) texted me last night. We don't talk hardly as much as we should. But when something is wrong.. I am there for her.. no matter what. So she sends me a text, upset about her dad (The man who adopted me.. then turned out to be a huge ass hole and I have not talked to him in two years) and the fact that he hasn't called her in a week (He usually calls her twice a day.. Mary would do ANYTHING for this piece of shit of a man.. God only knows why). I called her... and shes crying. I hate to see anyone I care about cry. Especially if its something I have gone through myself... and I hate someone (especially someone I love) go through the same pain. I talked to her for a little bit, until she stopped sobbing, and convinced her to give me his number. She did.. eventually (by this time.. I am fuming. If I saw him.. I would prolly beat his ass.. after I made him cry). So... I called. I have not spoken to him.. called him.. anything.. in two years. like I said. He answered.. prolly cuz he didn't have my number. I told him who I was.. and went off on him. Like a child he hung up on me (I HATE being hung up on.. it drives me nuts. and When a man does it.. I feel like he should have big enough balls to listen to whatever is being said.. maybe not agree.. but at least listen. But then again.. I am talking about MEN. Mark is NOT a man.. he is more like a big hairy child). So what did I do? I called the fucker back until he answered. Then he hung up again and I called about 50 more times. Then got sick of it.. realized I was slacking in the beer drinking department.. and decided I would wait until today.

I am still so fired up about it. I don't want Mary to have to experience what I had to.. going through the whole.. I don't have a dad, my dad is an ass, I wish I had a dad.. feeling. It sucks. In my case.. yes, Mark turned his back on me.. but I still and my biological father and a relationship with him that is s.l.o.w.l.y. building. She doesn't have anyone else. Just him. And she would go through hell and high water for him... (he hasn't talked to her because he has been too wrapped up in a woman who is pissed at her husband.. for sleeping with someone else.. without her. They are swingers.. and he broke their fucked up swinger "code." So i guess shes just wanting to get back at him. However, he doesn't really care.. so she is still with Mark). So when I hear that Mark is doing this to Mary.. because of some woman who will get sick of him in a month.. and Mary is as upset.. if not more than I was.. I get upset... so I cried to my mom for a little while.. and decided I was going to spend the rest of my life making Mark's a living hell. I hate him





I heart you








Marybeth.. I love you sooo much!!! You are an amazing and beautiful person!! You deserve the best!!

There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you. ~Author Unknown

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. ~Pam Brown

Sooooo that was my emotional night.

OMG I CANT BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT!!!!!

A friend of mine from home found psycho Italian ass hole on a gay website. I told him last night.. after he decided to be an ass... and he flipped out. He says it is someone impersonating him (like anyone would EVER want to do that). Then he actually asked me to find out the web address.. as if I would do him a favor. Because I said no.. He told me I was a heartless bitch. I'm okay with that (but I'm not, I promise)... I think its kind of funny. HILARIOUS actually.

Today I opened the blinds in my dungeon of an office.. and its so much brighter in here!! So thanks, Casey for stating the obvious and telling me to open the damn blinds!!

So that's all for now.. I'm gonna do something productive. Casey is coming over later to have leftovers for lunch today... again. Its needed.. we are both lacking in green (money) and so were gonna be responsible.. and not go out to eat. Yay us!!

Another List...

Some things I've thought about today... this should be fun

But first.. since I listen to this song.. and get mesmerized my Mr. Mraz's facial expressions.. Here is a link to listen to my current fav. song. Thank me later
Butterfly

1. I should listen to Matchbox Twenty more often

2. I miss my mom

3. I think my little sister needs a job! She is in the "I want everything.. even if I cant buy it.. and I definitely don't deserve to get it because I am a hugh bitch.. most of the time" faze. I got a job as soon as I turned 16.. making pizza. It was fun! I had to quit tho.. because my boss felt I was involved in too many extra curricular activities.. like the school musical, choir, volleyball, boyfriends, etc..

4. I need my bladder to get larger.. so I can drink more coffee with less interruptions. Is that tmi?

5. School needs to start soon.. I'm getting bored and I miss doing school work.. I swear I am not a nerd.

6. The creepy massage therapist who works in my office said something about me working on him when I start school..... I've got five words for him: I. DO. NOT. THINK. SO.... actually I have six words... Add "CREEP" to the end of that.

7. I really want some mashed potatoes

8. I went to Rat's last night.. and ate some mexican chicken.. it was delicious. I also had it for lunch when Casey came over to eat leftovers with me

9. I think that if I ever had a chance with Jason Mraz... I would soooo take it. Like that should even be a question. You cant beat a guy who plays the guitar and sings about sex

10. I wore a long sleeve shirt, sweater and vest to work today... I should be used to this, being from NY and all... but I'm not... I hate cold weather. I want to have a destination wedding.. then just never come back.. hahaha.. riiiiight.

11. I want a new dog. Having Daisy.. and now not having Daisy.. I hate it. I miss her.. and I would take her if I could.. but I cant. So I want a dog.

12. I miss the kids I used to nanny for. There were three of them. Jameson, Dorthy and Sam. They were so much fun.. They didnt watch much TV.. so we did fun stuff.. like dress up and pretend, and build pillow forts and play hide and seek... eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches.. I loved it.

13. The creepy massage therapist just soooooo violated my space and came into my bubble.. He needed something out of a drawer of my desk (why?!?! I do not know) and just decided that he was going to hope I would move while he reached over me to get it... awkward. Creepy.. I need to start dressing in potato sacks.

14. I spend wayyyy too much time in the internet while I am at work

15. I want a cigarette.. or two

16. I finished my book last night. I was the sixth in the House of Night series. It was so good!! My mouth was open for the last four pages. I literally could not believe what was happening.. and said "This is so not happening" while I was reading. I can't wait for the sixth one... but I know Im going to have to wait for EVER for it to come out.. and by then.. Ill have to read the one I just finished.. again.

17. I wish I knew how to cook like.. Rachel Ray (haha.. Aunt Caron loves her). It would be awesome to have a cooking show. I don't think I would ramble as much as she does tho. She talks too much. Then again.. I guess some people may think I do too. Hell, I think I do... look at me now..

18. The same guy called me today 10 times.. for the same thing. Every time I gave him the same answer.. and told him I would call him when I had more information. Instead, he called me. Finally.. I just gave him a different answer so he would quit calling It didn't work.. hes on the phone now... (GET A LIFE, GUY!!!)

19. Telemarketers suck.. I used to be one. Now I know why everyone hung up on me. Its a fun job tho!! I hung out in a little cubicle.. passing notes (because we couldn't talk to each other) to a cute guy in the next cubical. I maybe talked to four ppl in a period of four hours.. and that was good. I also learned a lot about fund raising and hospitals.

20. There are a lot of weird people out there. And it makes me think about what people think of me... because I know that when I pass by someone who is wearing bright green, with blue hair.. that hasnt brushed their hair or showered in eight days.. with ugly shoes and pants that are too short.. I have my own judgments. I try not to but I cant help it. Soooo I wonder.. what are they thinking about me?!

20. I bet they think I'm weird.. ass holes.

21. Its annoying how early it gets dark

22. I don't like the name "Amber" and that was almost my name. ew. What were you thinking mother?!?!

23. I can't wait to see my dad in December.. if it happens. IF it does.. I'm nervous.

24. My boss needs to let me paint the office.

Well.. I obviously do not have much to say... so I am going to stop.. and get ready to go home.

I hope you all have an exquisite day!!!

OOO The Things We Do.

First off..

"She is Love" by Parachute is the most adorable song I have heard.. at least all morning. Its the kind of love every single person should have.. or at the very least, experience once in their lifetime. Soooo if your reading this.. watch the video, its cute

Anyways.. I was supposed to get my nails done last night.. but the lady who was going to do them.. found out her boyfriend was cheating on her.. and couldn't come over. Those damn guys.

I tried to get all of my stuff in my bedroom put together and organized.. I hate when things are messy... but I wasn't terribly successful. I went to bed early instead. I am still exhausted.. this coffee better start working.. because I might start to get impatient.

So this is the thing that really made me want to write on here this morning: I was reading stuff on Yahoo! and came across an article about a game.. yes, a game... where men can date virtual girls. virtual girls. as in.. not real. As in created by some nerd perv who gets his rocks off watching Pokemon. gross. This game is around only in Japan, i think. And the wives of these men playing these games (why would married men have a Nintendo DS to begin with?.. That would be my first question to my fucked up husband).. are getting upset, saying that their husbands are cheating on them.
Ok girls.. If your husband is spending more time VIRTUALLY kissing and holding hands with a VIRTUAL girl.. he is not doing something wrong. is he weird? yes, hes fucked up.. but this is where you are wrong... on a couple of levels:
1. You married this fucked up man who literally dates a video game.
2. You must be doing something.. if not a couple things wrong if your husband is getting his action from a girl... who doesn't even exist.. and not only does she not exist.. she is a cartoon.

So these women want to be upset their husband is spending more time with a video game?! These poor (and yes, fucked up men) should be the ones pissed off... they get so little action.. they are happy VIRTUALLY (as in they touch the screen with their finger.. the screen) holding hands and kissing a girl who tells them what to do to make them happy... and isn't even real!!!!
I wonder if you can get in a fight with your virtual girlfriend. I also wonder how that goes.. Prolly pretty well for the men.. They can just set her down on the table.. or turn her OFF (as in power button.. something you do to your TV. or your vibrator..hell. because girls.. you better get one. You should prolly just date it. They are a lot less needy than the virtual girlfriends) when she gets too bitchy. Also.. You can date more than one girl at a time. How the hell do you do that?!?! how big is this virtual world of girls? and how do they not find out about each other?! Aw hell. I really hope this does not make its way to American guys (because God knows I can't handle anyone who is not from America... no offense).
So this is the picture of one of the many options on your virtual girlfriend... Soooooooooo......

Not ONLY are these guys ENJOYING dating virtual girls... they are literally dating GIRLS. This "girl" looks like shes 9. This is a whole new thing that is beyond messed up. And it also shows that these messed up guys who like video games too much.. are also cradle robbers. I mean, really?!?!? plus.. who the hell wears a sailor outfit anymore?!?! Well.. I do know who.. 9 year old girls who get dressed by their mom.. BECAUSE THEY ARE NINE!!!!

ugh. I cant go on about that anymore. However.. something else that also caught my attention.. 2009's word of the year. I was thinking I would click on it.. expand my knowledge a little.. learn a cool word. ..

of course NOT!!! the word of the year... is "unfriend" taken from FACEBOOK!!!!! ( o and btw.. the word comes up as misspelled on my computer). Don't get me wrong, I love facebook... but the damn word of the year is something used on facebook?!?!

This is what the article read...

"Unfriend was defined as a verb that means to remove someone as a "friend" on a social networking site such as Facebook. 'It has both currency and potential longevity,' said Christine Lindberg, senior lexicographer for Oxford's U.S. dictionary program, in a statement."

UGH.... These articles both just made and shit on my day. On one hand.. We are messed up. On the other hand.. its funny as hell.

I'm gonna go read the dictionary.. That just killed a couple brain cells..

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!! xoxox

Scooters

It was a VERY eventful weekend. Lets start at the beginning, shall we?

I got out of work early on Friday (yay) and went home to help everyone prepare for the open house for Chris Owen (the artist whose work is all over the house). I basically just hung out with Chloe, which is just fine with me. Soooo once 4 o'clock came around.. the bottles of wine started coming out (which is also just fine with me). I hung out/ met a bunch of old people who live by us.. and were basically just curious about how the house looked inside. After a couple glasses of wine, it was time to smoke. So I had to watch out for the grandparents, smoke really fast, then try to act like I didn't smell like smoke (wine makes me think I can do anything. It also give me an intense perma grin... for a while). 9:30 came around... Aunt Caron had tripped up the stairs in front of granny and granddad, we had taken a tour of my boss' GORGEOUS house down the road, ate a lot of food.. and drank more wine. I talked to some lady for like 30 minutes. She was prolly the greatest person I have even seen be able to carry a conversation with someone.. without ever having that awkward silence. Ya know, the one where your wondering why your still standing there saying "yeah..okay. So.. the weathers nice, huh?" I hate doing that. But this woman just kept asking me questions.. and talking about things that were actually interesting. I found myself actually caring about what she had to say... and interested in her stories. Which is weird when your talking to someone you've never seen before.. at least for me.

So after we took the tour of my boss, Jim's, house we walked back to my house and left with Casey and Rat, who had come to pick us up (while we were waiting outside for Caron who was taking forever to come outside.. My Granddad came out.. bringing a bag of cigarette butts to throw away. He O so nicely commented on how it smelled like cigarettes, then told us that anyone who smoked should die. hmmm. That's nice. Thanks, Granddad. Of course we all laughed... because there are prolly about six of us smoking.. then here I am hacking up a lung because.. .well... I smoke. Chris.. oh so nicely.. commented on my cough saying "that's a pretty bad cough you've got there" after my granddad mentioned his ideas on people who smoke.. so that was very nice of him. So I guess my granddad does not approve of my habits. who'd a thunk?!

Once we got back to Caron's (and Casey got Chloe to sleep) we went outside to drink some beer and sit by a GREAT fire that Rat prepared. Tammy and Joy deiced to come back with us.. so we got to enjoy their company as well (I have found that Joy and I have a lot in common in terms of parents and interests.) Aunt Caron danced for us a couple times.. she also cried.. but she had some wine, so you can't blame her. I sooo wish everyone.. everywhere.. could have seen her dance. It was so funny.. he long brown hair was down over her face and she looked like she was high, dancing at wood stock '69. Then Casey started pole dancing on the porch... good times were had. Paw Steve went to bed early, which was prolly a good thing... he was supposed to go to the lake so we could have a girls night.. but he decided against it. That's fine, we all love Paw Steve.

Saturday...
My AMAZING cousins woke up at 6 in the morning to come here.. to drive three hours.. to get my stuff from St. Louis. How great is that?!?!?!
They called me... I didn't realize how big U-Hauls were. I couldn't get insurance on it... because I didn't bring enough money.. soooo i had to write down.. on two one inch lines, EVERYTHING that was wrong with this U-Haul.. there were like a million things wrong with it.. Hopefully they don't try to tell me something is my fault.. because I can't afford to fix a damn U-Haul. So I go the biggest one they had. It was the size of a small state. You could have a party for three hundred people in it (which is exactly what I wanted to do.. but the fire ended up being the place everyone hung out around). Sooo we drove to St. Louis.. the whole way there.. my stomach was gradually becoming more and more uneasy... I walked in the door, which was unlocked.. and looked around. We saw a pipe on the group with some pot.. hmmm interesting. Then Brady and Jon got to work taking the couches down stairs. Meanwhile, the new roommate (Tony) had seen them loading the couch into the giant sized U-Haul and called psycho Italian ass hole. He told Tony to call the cops. Tony told us that he had no desire to call the cops. "Daniel" had told him the furniture was his and if "Daniel" wanted him to call the cops, he would. Tony did not realize that I was still on the lease.. and could take anything I wanted.. and those were my intentions. So.. in the meantime, Jon and Brady had come up with a fabulous plan: Jon was okay with Tony about calling the cops and asked "Hey man, do you have any weed?" and Tony said "Yeah man, you wanna smoke some?" and Jon said "No dude, thanks. But now I know what to tell the cops when they show up." Sooo then you see Tony on his phone.. texting. Then he informs us that Dan doesn't want to call the cops. Apparently Tony and Dan are two dumb ass peas in a pod. Aside from all of that.. my once cute, clean apartment.. was so disgusting. It smelled like dog piss... and had shit (not literally) EVERYWHERE. I tend to be a clean person. kinda too clean sometimes... but this was bad, even for two guys with dogs. Dogs, I got to see Daisy Mae!!! She was sooo cute. I was bummed that I really wont ever be able to see her again... but I know that Psycho Italian ass hole will take car of her...

So while I'm having a nervous breakdown.. shoving everything into garbage bags.. Jon and Brady worked their asses off loading my stuff into the state of U-Haul (thanks so much guys, I couldn't ask for better people to be there for me). We got everything done in a very short amount of time. I was surprised. pIah doesn't have furniture, a bed or a TV... ha. ha. ha. fucker. I don't feel bad for him at all.

On the way back Cory and I looked for Mariah Carey for 3 1/2 hours. We were looking for the song "Always be my baby" on Pandora... we never heard it. It was really upsetting. That is our song. We sing the high notes, we move our arms.. we sing off key.. and really loud. I love it. Riding home, listening... no, singing obnoxiously to 90's love songs was good therapy. Cory said he was going to contact Pandora for not playing our song when we asked for it... You go, girl!!

The only real bad thing that happened.. We accidentally took Tony's bag and I left my keys there. But that is all figured out. We eventually got back to Caron's. Ate some Stromboli and started drinking beer (wonderful). Aunt Caron rode around in the wheel-barrow, pushed by Brady, a couple of times. She also fell out a couple of times. I helped Aiden draw some roads, houses and Grasey, Paw Steve and Tater on his cardboard boxes... We all got drunk and had a great time. When it was time to go to bed we ate some left over pizza.. and then I laughed more in a thirty minute time frame than I have ever laughed in my entire life. Casey was dancing around.. stripping.. while she was changing into her pajamas... and talking to Cory and I about every random thing she could think of. I don't think Cory and I stopped laughing for longer than ten seconds.

Sunday was tiring.. I unpacked everything.. and said good bye to my cousins. Watched the Wizard of Oz twice.. and this morning I am exhausted.. and Jim is getting on my nerves.

pIah has gone from super ass hole to oddly nice. He loooves me.. and always will (like I give a shit). And he doesn't want to take me to court anymore.. (he wanted to for a while.. the dumb ass finally realized there was nothing he could do). Jim is driving me nuts... He tries to talk to me through three door ways and a hall.. and gets mad when I don't hear him. then he asks me to come into his office so he can tell me something... that doesn't matter. I'm tired and in a good mood. I want to take a shower, get my nails done.. and read my book.. maybe open my Cosmo.. that I have had for two weeks... and have not gotten a chance to look at (even though.. I wont be using their sex tips... that really do work.. for a while). hahaha oooo pooor mee I know!!!

Also, I think I should mention the weather and how much it sucks. gross. I hate rain.

Also.. I have decided that my decision to quit smoking.. its gonna be a while.. sorry lungs.

O and sorry I don't have any pictures.. I will in a couple of days when I can steal them from someones facebook.

something that made me laugh just now.. when writing these.. you can put labels on them.. so you know what they are about. One of the examples is "scooters." Who the hell writes about scooters!?!?! I mean really?!?! that's so common, its under the examples?!?! NO. I'm using it.. because now, I guess mine is about scooters too.

I Heart Dave

I think I am going to find Dave Matthews, make him fall in love with me... and ask him to sing to me. Listening to "Grace is Gone"... ugh... kills me... but not in a bad way.

Had lunch with Casey (I love her). Had good food.. and always good conversation!! Now... I'm back at work.. buuuuut I'm leaving two hours early!!!! YAY!!!! Then.. going to the house for the "Everything Everywhere Everytime, Paintings by Chris Owen" thing at 4-7. Mayybe going to the club with Casey to hang out, drink and laugh at Rat and Tony (sorry Rat). Then tomorrow.. I think I may sleep allllllll day looooong. I've been so tired this week. I am still recovering from my weekend @ Nashville. OOO ... I cant sleep!!! I am going to St. Louis to get the rest of my stuff (another YAY!!) Thankfully.. psycho Italian ass hole won't be there.

pIah asked me to bring him the paintings his ex made for him... little does he know.. I threw them away. OOPS!! annnnd I am also going and taking the furniture.. another thing he does not know about. I should feel a little bad... because it was his money.. but I just don't care anymore. Sunday I am going to sleep.. once my favorite cousins leave. I have missed sleep so much. so much.

Well, now that you all know my entire life... I am going to pretend I am working.. and hope the next two hours pass by quickly.

XOXOX

24 Morning Thoughts

A couple things...

But First.. I want to get a new tattoo.. one that entwines with the one on my rib cage... Here are some things I'm thinking about:


I need to talk to Brady first tho.. so he can draw them for me... I'm excited now!!!

1. "Night Minds" by Missy Higgins... is really good. really good. I think I'm in love.
Listen to it!! ... I would become a lesbian for her. shes so pretty!!

2. I really need to get the new Dave cd. Really... Its good.. but I have too many restrictions on Pandora.

3. I can't wait for my cousins to get here!!! Its only been a week.. and I miss them terribly.

4. Thanksgiving can't come soon enough. I love to eat... and I want some mashed potatoes and stuffing.. and turkey.

5. "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles.. gives me the tingles
Watch this one too!!

6. The Jupiter Jack call center... SUCKS. I hate listening to machines. I read in Cosmo once that if you swear while your on hold.. you will go through quicker. I haven't tried it.

7. The double marshmallow Mocha, at the coffee house next to my house, is supppper good.

8. The Titanic song is the hold music I am listening to right now... and I can't help but sing to it... and flail my arms around like Celine Dion.. good thing Jim never comes out of his office. That would be awkward. I can play this song on the recorder, I learned how in the 5th grade.. I was the coolest person in my recorder class. Until everyone else learned how to play it too.

9. Five different people... that are all recordings.. have interrupted my call to say the same thing but in different words. They are interrupting a good song!!!

10. The Jupiter Jack lady.. is a bitch.

11. I'm rambling.. but I do it all the time.. and I can't help it.

12. My friend Ben is stationed in Texas where that whole shooter thing went down... I'm really really glad hes okay. I LOVE YOU, BEN!!!

13. this morning, I prolly changed my clothes eight times. And I'm wearing the original outfit I put on. I hate when that happens. And why don't I just set my clothes out the night before?! ... but that never really worked for me... because I would always change my mind anyways. That makes me think about how bad I want the rest of my stuff back.. and how much I hate psycho Italian ass hole.

14. psycho Italian ass hole actually had the audacity to tell me that I would regret breaking up with him... I laughed. then I told him that he needed to go back to Panama (where he lives). I hope be does. But he wont. Instead, hes going to harass me forever!!! until I decide to "suit" him... haha..

15. I'm wondering why I ever cared about someone who is sooooooo stupid. I mean, Old Dan.. at least hes smart.. the smartest person I know (congrats on the job offer btw.. I'm so proud of you!!). But psycho Italian ass hole? dumb as a rock. the worst part? He knows it.. and doesn't care.

16. I need a new phone. One that is bigger than a pencil. The Juke sucks.. I do not recommend it.

17. I don't want to type up this interrogatory. They are too long.

18. I hope someone finds me interesting. Because after reading this... I don't see how someone else could actually want to read through all of this. I am sorry. But thanks for getting this far!!

19. The massage therapist that works in my office... He has been getting uncomfortably close lately.. he creeps me out. Someone needs to tell his wife that shes married to a homo. The end results are never good.. so I think its only fair to warn her.

20. My book is really good. If you are into young adult.. easy to read.. and vampires.. read the "Dark Night" series. Its really good. Very dramatic. I love it. I'm on the last one.. and it makes me kinda sad. Also, someone please read "Love Story." its so good. one of my favorites.

21. Aunt Caron and I talked about going to Texas in December to see my dad after he gets his hip replacement. I hope we go. It would be awesome to see him and be able to be there for him... because I never was when he had cancer. I wish some thing were different in that sense.

22. I've been thinking about getting laser surgery to take the scar off my face. I'm sick of it. A lady told me I had sleep wrinkles on my face earlier.. bitch.. I hate when that happens.. I don't care how much "character" it gives me. I think that's just something ppl say to make me feel better about it. Also, even if ppl don't really notice it, I do.

23. I'm gonna stop now.. because I could prolly go on forever.

24. Have a good weekend!!!!!

My Semi-Deep Side






Listening to some good music.. thinking more than I should.. these are my thoughts...



Its disappointing how fast a person loses things; their life, their kids, their friends, family, love, happiness or just the feeling of being content. All of these "things" are so often taken for granted, you never know how much they mean to you once they are gone. From little things (happiness) to big things (family)... anything can be gone in an instant. Its heart wrenching. It makes my heart hurt.


Family and friends are so important to me. However, after today's events, I realize how often I take my friendships for granted. How often I put aside a ten minute phone call. I don't realize that phone call could make my valued friendship more valuable, more special. I take it for granted. My family.. ooo my family. My family is the best. I forget that sometimes. When my dad pisses me off and doesn't call... I get stubborn and refuse to call him. I complain about circumstances that.. make my family who they are. Get over it, Ashley (yes, I'm talking to myself). Family and friends is the fuel that runs the happiness machine!! What is the point in being happy if you don't have family to share it with. Also... who ever said that you were doing anyone a favor by sacrificing your own happiness for someone else.



Another thing... Happiness. It can be taken away in an instant.. and is so vital to the well being of our existence. It boggles my mind how many people take pure happiness for granted. So many people spend their days being mmiserable.. or just.. not happy.. they miss out on so much. They don't even realize it. The happiness of a person should be the sole concern for that person. Without your happiness, many people lose out on happiness and many people miss out on the happy you.. the only one they REALLY want. Life really is too short to be ANYTHING but happy. I wish more people would realize that. Stop complaining about the small things.. and be happy they are there.. to remind you its not a big deal.



Love. O, love. I am in love with love. I love being in love. I love looking into a persons eyes and feeling that they are the only person in the room. I love the feeling you get when someone truly takes your breath away... When it is pure joy and contentment to just sit in a room with someone.. without having to say a word. Its incredible.. and its a shame many people take that for granted and settle for something sub par. Having and sharing love with a person is so.. life changing, its a shame many people miss out on it. I believe that you just know. Even at first sight.. (maybe not all the time.. but hey, it can happen). But I think that it hits you. It hits so hard.. you can't hold it in.
I want a movie kinda love. The kind when Price Charming comes in and sweeps me off my feet and makes everything all better. Because, even if nobody in the entire world sees it, I do. I would feel it (in his kiss.. haha.. Cher). There is one person I have truly loved, Dan Matteo. I would do anything for him. But does hearing his voice, seeing his face, feeling his touch make my life better, happier? No.. (sorry Sparky, no offense). Dumb ass Italian psycho had a hard time getting that. But love is... magnificent. It can jump mountains and swim oceans. So many people miss out on it.. because they want to get on with life, not have to worry about it.. or don't want to risk a hard time or heart ache. GET OVER IT!!! stop being a damn baby.

Do I love you because you're beautiful,
Or are you beautiful because I love you?
~Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Cinderella ... Had to do it, its cute!!!

We choose those we like; with those we love, we have no say in the matter. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

Well that's it. I've gotten that out of my system. I hope everyone who happens to read this thinks a little more about.. everything.. on a level beyond the drama.. and simply based on the facts. How things are.. like it or not. Because are all of those things we worry about every day worth it? probably not. Solutions aren't so hard once you open your eyes and face reality.

Only The Good Die Young

"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can."
~Danny Kaye

"People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad." ~Marcel Proust

Last night.. Sheldon Harmon, one of the sweetest, funniest people I have ever had the opportunity to know, was killed last night. He is the first person in my graduating class to have passed. Not only was he a good person, but he was just not someone it should have happened to (not that I think anything bad should happen to anyone.. he just never did anything wrong and treated everyone with respect). He will be missed, very much. And Sheldon, save me a seat up there!

I graduated from a small high school in western NY. My graduating class had 70 people in it. It was difficult not to get to
know someone. Sheldon and I had a lot of classes together. Everyday he would write me a note, wishing me a good day and save me a seat. He was funny in a dorky way. He could make anyone laugh... and while some people didn't like each other, there was not one person who disliked Sheldon. He was so kind.

Last night he was driving to his girlfriends house, taking a back road. Two guys were drag racing. The guy who was on the wrong side of the road hit Sheldon head on, they both died instantly. Sheldon was one mile away from his girlfriends house. I want to send my love to his family, friends and especially his brother, Shannon. Shannon was his best friend. Equally as kind as Sheldon.
I'm thinking about you all and I hope everyone is getting through this ok
ay.

Rest in Peace, Sheldon Harmon. You will be missed

I Could Go On Forever

A couple things I don't understand

1. Why ANYONE cares about some druggie tennis players book with all of his confessions. Hes a loser.. he plays tennis, he had ugly hair, he lied... Welcome to America.

2. Why must it be that I make a pot of coffee, drink a cup of coffee... right before a pipe line breaks and the water turn brown.. gross.. now I cant have any coffee (which may as well be the end of the world on mornings like this one... when I'm tired.. so every morning)

3. Why didn't I bring more than two pairs of shoes with me when I moved to Kentucky?

4. Vampires... I'm reading the House of Night book series... and it is soooo good... but I just don't get it.


Last night, Aunt Caron and I decided to have a few beers and help her neighbor/ friend/ tenant with her bedroom. I didn't do much helping.. I more watched ppl helping and drank beer. Then we went to Wal-Mart.. drunk and hungry... fun.. but not good. They have good chicken there.

So... I miss my mom. But when I try to talk to her on the phone.. she never shuts up (sorry mom, but you dont). I can't wait to go home for Christmas. See my family.. hang out with Wyatt, bug Mary and try to talk to her about sex (its really funny... I was always really open about it and talked to my mom about EVERYTHING. Too much sometimes.. but she gets embarrassed and angry at me for trying to talk about it... which I find kinda funny. Okay, very funny. I actually laugh at her a little. What are big sisters for?!). My other little brother, Kyle, He is fun to go out with. Hes a huge whore.. and I love it when he gets hammered and acts like a complete idiot.. but still manages to get with any girl that walks by him. But what can I say, Hes cute!! Nights at home, in NY, consist of drinking, cards, talking and jumping on the trampoline until Wyatt gets so angry he kicks you off... (hes 4 and hates it when someone bigger than him steals all his "sweet tricks") Soon.

Other than that... I feel like once I get my stuff back from the psycho Italian ass hole... things will get better... a lot better. I miss my dog tho. oh well. I wanna get a little one. like a poodle. it seems like my entire family has poodles. So maybe they all know something other ppl don't know.. we'll see.

Over this past weekend... I decided that I was going to use the debit card that I share with psycho Italian ass hole. He got pissed at me, called me bunch of very unnecessary names.. and reminded me of how much of an idiot he is (he cant spell.. and never talks right. I just happen to understand him. But now, its annoying). So I spent money. At the bar (Jon Cory and I.. we needed beer!), gas, cigarettes, stuff to drink... stupid shit. but stuff I didn't want to spend money on if I could make psycho Italian ass hole angry. And boyyy did it make him angry!!! Because he spent my money... and lied to me about it.. (I thought the money I put in there was still there, he told me it was) he is now $500 in the negative... HAHAHAHAHA. maybe that's mean... buuut I don't really care. Next time I decide to get involved with someone... It needs to be with someone who understands that you get no where by screaming at eachother. It annoying, pointless and stupid. Plus, I always tend to say things I don't mean.. or I hurt someones feelings. I don't like to be mean. So don't yell!!! talk, like adults. And girls, don't say a bunch of pointless shit, that happened 5 years ago. Also, stop rambling. If your talking for more than three minutes.. hes not listening. They are men.. they dont talk. They see. Maybe Im wrong.. but I dont think I am. Women are bitches!!! show that you aren't (and then be one when you bitch about him to your friends).

There is some advice I have been hearing a lot lately. A couple ppl I know, along with myself, have been having relationship issues. Rat's daughter, Casey (I love her) was told: "If you are not happy with someone six days out of seven, it is not meant to be" WHAT THE HELL???!!?!? Where was this advice when I needed it?!?! O and another thing.. People need to listen a little more to people who are not involved in the relationship. An outsiders opinion is usually right. Yeah, maybe there is a back story.. but if there is a back story, and your still not over it.. you never will be. Stop keeping quiet.. it builds resentment. And who wants to argue over something that happened forever ago.. and now your getting pissed because of something that shouldnt even matter.. its stupid.
(Sorry if this doesn't make much sense.. I'm on a roll)

"Bare" - Matt Nathanson... very good

Well, I guess I should work some.. stay tuned!!!

NashVegas

I don't like Tuesdays. I also do not like Mondays. I kinda wish I had more of a Groundhog's Day thing goin on.. from Thursday to Sunday. That would be nice. Instead.. I am exhausted for the second morning in a row. grosss..

side note... Jason Mraz's song "Butterfly" is sexy. I love it.

So this past weekend was a lot of fun!! I went to Nashville Friday.. went to Play, a gay dance club. I met this guy named Anthony... I would be better off had i never met him. He was prolly the most annoying person in the world. And of course.. he just had to talk to me the entire time we were out. I don't know why I cant just tell people to shut up!! So I learned his life story over the four hour time frame we were out.. and also two hours the next morning. He has two sisters, a gay grandpa, he is a dare devil.. and he is actually very lucky to be alive (but he has a hard head.. so when he fell 12 stories and landed on his head, he didn't crack his skull... are you having a hard time not laughing, because i was). This guy was hitting on me so bad... that he had to think I was an idiot for not noticing (because that's what i did.. pretended i didn't notice). Plus.. he was NOT my type. actually... the exact opposite. I hate when people always want to talk about themselves. It drives me crazy... so i just kept drinking.. and got hammered. It made him a little more interesting.. but not too much. By Saturday afternoon, I was glad to see him go.

So anyways.. I slept in a really comfortable bed.. belonging to a gay guy.. that I dont know.. and cuddled with Cory. He has a sign on his wall that says "Respect Your Mom," it was awesome (but I forgot my camera.. along with my phone charger and couldn't take a picture). The next day.. We went to Target and people watched/ drank Starbucks (mmmm it had been too long since I had a triple venti white mocha)/ bought a bunch of beer/ listened to music and car danced while people stared at us. It was fun. Cory is almost always a guaranteed good time. So we drank most of the day... I decided not to shower allll day (don't judge). Then, Alicia (my cousins g/f) and I decided to go to Target to look for cute outfits. Everyone was going out... so we wanted to look good! All i have to say is... its a shame I didn't have my camera. Short dress and hooker boots... you can't go wrong. Sooo I made a couple of new friends (some of which are drag queens.. one even has the same birthday I do.. YAY!) and danced so much.. my legs are still sore.. so if there is anyone out there who gives a good leg massage, hit me up. I need your help. Saturday night Cory and I decided to tell everyone we were twins. Which they all believed. However, most people came to the conclusion that I was the prettier twin.. hahahaha. Sorry Cor. It was the dress.

While we were watching the drag show... i think I fell in love with the idea of drag queens. There were two that were so pretty, it was freaky. My cousins freidn and I sat there for prolly 30 minutes.. just watching.. not talking.. just watching. mesmerized.

So I spent too much money, and used the debit card from the checking account I had with Dan. Most of which Dan did not know about.. and got quite pissed at me when he saw that i used it.. dumb ass. He is a whole other story I won't even get into.. ugh.. exhausting, frustrating, stupid, pathetic, annoying.. i won't go on any further.

Soooo my cousins live in Nashville (in case you weren't paying attention). They live with 5 dogs. That's right... 5. F-I-V-E. I don't know how they do it. FIVE DOGS!!! crazy. I also think i smoked too much this weekend.. because my throat hurts. bad.

GOOD NEWS!!! I'm starting classes again in January!! YAYYYY!!! I can't wait.

Bad news... My dad is getting a hip replacement. a little worried... but he'll get through it. has gotten through worse.


Soooo work today has been boooooring. I found a damn file my boss lost. He amde me look for it for three hours yesterday. When I tried telling him it was on his desk.. he said "no it is not." Gess where I fouNd it?!?!? ON HIS DAMN DESK!!! thennnn because he is a tad less computer savvy than the regular 21 year old.. He got the bright idea that Tony, the computer guy, had dome something to his computer so he could not log onto Yahoo! calendar. I tried telling him that Tony has nothing to do with the internet.. but he made me call Tony anyways. After 15 minutes of talking about how difficult of a man my boss is to work for... I logged him onto Yahoo! and had no problems.. and also saw that he was using the wrong username the whole time (which he denied when i told him.. He has been using "the same one for 100 years".. ) so hopefully, my boss will start listening to me a little more often.

So thats all I really want to go into now. Sorry if it seems kinda boring. I'm kinda boring, I guess.

Happy Tuesday!!

Vanilla and Cereal Flavored Yogurt is Disgusting

You'll never guess what happened to me yesterday!!!!

...deep breath...


I was on my way to my Aunt Carons... driving Rat's car.. when I see an itty bitty dog running across a busy street and almost getting hit by copious amounts of cars (im using big words today). So I decide I am going to try to catch him.. maybe he will have a number on his tag.. something.. I just didn't want him to get run over. 20 minutes later.. I am still going 5 mph.. holding up traffic.. following a three pound dog that looks like he just rolled on a dead bird, in a mud puddle, a mud hole, a garbage dumpster.. etc.. So this little dog is just trotting along.. happily running in front of cars (maybe he wasn't very happy if he was doing that.. but he had such a happy spring in his trot!) I get out of the car... try to call him.. but no such luck.. I guess he didn't like me. He just kept running along. So I decide there isn't much more I can do.. it had to be far from home... I mean.. he was literally trotting across town.. running in front of cars (he wasn't very smart). Well, I get in my car, put on my seat belt.. and then...




... the poor dog..




..I cried..



.. he got hit by a damn blue car!!! It was awful!!! I cried... It was sad.

Then.. I look around me.. and I have no idea where I am. As soon as nervousness starts to set in about how I am going to get home.. some bitch woman beeped her horn at me and scared the shit out of me.. I was holding up traffic... Like... 20 cars worth of traffic... poor dog.

Sooooo (I had a busy night last night.. so here comes more.. get comfortable) I finally find my way home.. which is surprising because I could not find my way out of a wet paper bag. Really.. its bad. Rat and Caron have made dinner.. and need me to go get beer.. which I do. and cigarettes. The three of us try to finagle these space heaters.. that were my great grandparents.. prolly their great grandparents before that.. because it was cold out (and we cant smoke in the garage anymore). I put on about three layers of Aunt Caron's clothes.. and the beer drinking begins.

Cory had called while I was preparing myself for another night. Caron told me he was coming in tomorrow... but I had this feeling that he was coming in today.. I don't know why.. but I did..

So anyways.. we decide to build a fire in the yard. and we do.. successfully (good job Rat) and start talking, as usual.. about family drama and a few other people (who wont be a topic of discussion for much longer.. cough.. Dan) and how some of those people are fuck heads.. cough cough. (I think there was a rabid raccoon somewhere last night.. it kept making funny noises.. freaking me out). Guess who came over?!?!?! CORY!!! and he had Aiden with him... even better (this kid is the cutest little boy EVER). My best friend was there!!! I love him so Much.. I love you Cory. So we talk.. about things we don't want the entire world knowing.. and catch up.. talk about how fucking stupid Dan is.. shit.. he pisses me off! And I was happy. Old Dan called me! About time (but i pissed him off last week.. and of course he has to act like an ass because of it.. love you!)!!

So needless to say.. I was ecstatic. O!! I forgot!! Rat tried to scare Caron earlier that night.. and peed her pants.. HA!

Wellll I was up till 330. I had to be up at 7 but didn't get up till 7:30. I think the alarm on my phone is broken.. or that's just my excuse for not setting it correctly while I was hammered.. my bad.

I got ready.. talked to my grandparents about how Dan is making me look like a tramp and a whore.. (awkward words to come from your religious grandparents).. o well.

The worst thing about this morning?! I think someone is trying to kill me. Maybe its my grandmother (its not.. but.. I'm just sayin').. She gave me this yogurt to eat for breakfast.. it tasted like baby vomit.. because the baby ate disgusting baby food and couldn't keep it down.. then my grandmother packaged it up.. and gave it to me. So.. a piece of advice.. don't eat Activia, Vanilla and cereal flavored yogurt.. its awful.. and that's being nice.

So today... I'm going to Tribeccas with Cory... and going to Nashville tonight. To dance.. and attempt not to get kicked out of Play... a gay bar in Nashville that yours truly has been kicked out of.. for being too drunk.. oops. Maybe they won't recognize me.

Thats all I've got for now. I'm going to listen to good music.. and wait for some time to pass by.. faster than it is now..




HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!! I KNOW I WILL!!!

THE YANKEES WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!

Here is my rant for today...

Why does the morning have to come soooo soon... and NEVER when I am ready to wake up?! I mean seriously?!?! It makes drinking beer... with two women who NEVER stop talking.. very difficult. I think that when I am with Rat and Caron.. it is impossible not to have a good time. We froze our asses of for five years sitting outside (we cant smoke in the garage anymore.. Paw Steve put Martin on the fridge.. telling us allllll about lung cancer.. very thoughtful of him). SOOO because we all HAVE to have a cancer stick.. about every two minutes.. we froze our asses off (not literally)

Besides drinking beer and talking about how fucked up everyone is... we filled out a survey for Caron's boss.. HILARIOUS!! I, of course, had to fill out a survey for Leisa (who also works there) because it was a bad thing if anyone could recognize their handwriting (they had so many complaints about this ass hole of a guy.. they didn't want to be targeted if the wrong person saw the survey). I think that when Leisa hands in her survey... whoever sees it is going to think that whoever filled it out was on some kind of drug or drunk (which I was). I prolly messed up 50 times.. and had to scribble so much shit out (i guess I'm a bad survey taker.. if there is such a good thing) the paper looked like a final exam for human biology.. taken by someone who has test anxiety.

Drinking beer (most of which was frozen and over flowing on my lap), talking, looking for a lost CD/casset tape
(Caron said it was a CD, Rat said it was a casset) with a song on it that Rat has to sing at Caron's funeral..God help us, Rat falling off a bench.. trying to color in an already colored in "R," and eating (I just remembered I left the remains of my 2 O'clock snack next to the computer.. oops), we had a big night. I have decided that... Im never going to get a good nights sleep as long as I live around my family... too many "good" influences and too many good times to have. So I might as well use the excuse that I will sleep when I die (which is hopefully a long time from now).. I'm going to miss you, sleep. (I am soo tired)

Is It The Weekend Yet?!

I thought I would share this with you...

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." ~Jack Handey

"A woman drove me to drink and I never even had the courtesy to thank her." ~W.C. Fields

"Everybody should believe in something; I believe I'll have another drink." ~Author Unknown

"
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." ~Frank Sinatra

I need a beer

The Return of the Italian Stalion

hhhmmmmm It was a busy weekend!!

side note: I am in love with Matt Nathanson

Halloween was fun! Lots of interesting happenings. Bonfires (a favorite) and beer (another favorite) and good friends (yet another favorite). Some new friends (hmm). New Dan decided to visit (I don't know if that's a favorite or not, I'm leaning towards the second one). I never got to be God's gift to Men... which was kind of disappointing. However, I did go to the Market House Theater with my grandparents and their friend (I think they are trying to age me by 30 years so I can hang out with them ALL. THE. TIME.) and Dan. It was really good. I was pleasantly surprised! We saw "Tom, Dick and Harry." While it was very stressful, I laughed the entire time.. But don't get me wrong; my grandmother laughed so much and loud enough for everyone within a mile radius of her to thoroughly enjoy the show. While I didn't get to go to Nashville and see my three cousins, I think that staying in Paducah was a good alternative (especially when I could have come home with the swine flu... Ill pass. Thanks. But I'm glad your feeling better Aiden).

While I sit here.. bored.. I find that I get a kick out of my entire predicament. Last night my Aunt Caron decided to take it upon herself to find me a "booty call." Apparently my ENTIRE family got a bad vibe from Dan and Caron has decided to take things into her own hands. There are a few requirements.. some that aren't appropriate... But being attractive and gaining her approval are the main two. I think that as long as he is not Dan everyone will be happy. Which is sad, but relieving; I'm not the only who sees it... and is annoyed by it (well, maybe I'm the only one annoyed).

another side note: I am also in love with Jon Mcglaughlin

I am beginning to think that I need to find myself a musician. Someone who can serenade me... write sappy songs that make me cry. Heartbreaking, in a good way. Also.. not 20 years old or from a different country.. no offense to any of you foreigners out there... but I just cannot deal with your drama!!! You are all FULL of it!!!

Aside from my drama filled love life.. and some things related that are better left untouched.. Things are good (its all okay, mom). There is a meet and greet this weekend at my aunts/ grandparents for the artist whose art is in the house.. Should be fun. I'm gonna meet a new friend.. maybe a drinking buddy.. who knows. Also.. work is keeping me... NOT BUSY!! I have been spending WAY too much time with a man who hits on me.. but also constantly talks about his desire to dress like a woman <> So he boggles my mind. Wish me luck =)
