I'm starting from scratch this week. I have been so much more social lately its great! Eric and I went out to a club with someone he works with and his friend and danced and danced and danced. Yes, Eric danced, and I danced ^_^. I'm working on the new clothes slowly but surely. I'm figuring out what I want to do with school. I will stay away from the depressino, it's a choice. I've found more music. I'm still a loser bumming around doing nothing after years of attempting to build a career. But you know what? I just don't care anymore.
I
dont
care
anymore.
I don't need to be anyone special, i think.
The only thing I get excited about lately is travel.

I feel so busy, but really there's not too much going on. Andrea moved to Ann Arbor, thank god. I've been socially deprived these last few years. We went to the NIN concert not to long ago, it was amazinggg, although I wish we had been on the floor and I didn't run into anybody. Went to Lexington for the weekend, Saturday night was really fun with Martinis and bonfires and guitars. I actually sang in front of people, I was pretty gone, nailed Margaritaville and mauled a Beatles song (probably made Lennon cry up there).
I want to go backpacking in so many places. It's my goal in these next few years. More Smokies, Glacier Park, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay.
Shannon's birthday would be the 19th. I still freak out over everything. Can't understand why I'm so obsessed still. All I have are webcam pictures of her from MSN. And journals from when we were fighting that just hurt to read. I dream about her all the time. She wrote me a letter before she died and her fiance disappeared without ever giving it to me. She wasn't at my wedding. She doesn't even have a grave. I should have offered to pay for one, I think that's what it came down to. I can't keep dwelling on this.

I am so stressed out lately it's horrible. I'm trying to make it all come together. This should be a really fun month, and instead I'm ruining it by letting things get to me. Love is moved, thank God, and everything is good with Hox. She should gain weight rather quick I hope. She's still adorable. And I have my stuff back. I'm looking for homes for the cats still, but we sort of have a game plan worked out.
We got a new fish, a long-nose yellow butterfly. Stupid to be excited about it but I am. Fish are relaxing to watch.
I'm really hungry but I'm so tired after today it seems like way too much effort to get food.

I have 2 cats here about 3 years in age, quite big (about 20lbs each). They are SUPER friendly and great with young kids. These are the most mellow cats I've seen; they get along with my cats great, and were recently wrestled by my friends two year old without scratching or biting or hissing. They are up to date on all shots, and will come with food, dishes, a litter box, and a scratch post. They never scratch up furniture or wood, they are very well behaved, love to cuddle and sleep with people and spend most of the day laying around.
We are only getting rid of them because we have a 600sq ft apartment and two cats of our own. We are going to get evicted if they don't go.
ANYONE IN MICHIGAN PLEASEEEEEE

| Wedding/Honeymoon! |
[11 Aug 2008|04:13pm] |
- We got married on August 3rd! Finally.. Everything went as perfectly as we could have wished. My dress looked like a princess dress, I was so excited it turned out great. I designed it 100%, even had to pick the stitching style and everything, it was scary. My hair was perfect, which NEVER happens EVER! We found some flowers outside last minute to stick in my hair, they were so pretty. I'm waiting on pictures from the photographer still, I'll probably get them on Wednesday, so I'll post those soon. I wasn't as nervous before the ceremony as I thought I would be. Everyone loved that we had the bagpiper walk down the aisle before us (I was so against that) and loved my dad's kilt (I was okay with that). We did a handfasting ceremony that everyone said they liked, which I got nervous about last minute because it was so different. Everything was set up perfectly outside, and we had a clear sunny day with big poofy clouds. And the food! It was amazing. My parents handled the caterer so I had no idea what anything tasted like or exactly what we were getting, but it was probably one of the best meals I'll ever have, fancy restaurants included. And, since my dress was a corset top, I could eat as much as I wanted (which I did). And of course drank lots of champagne. Our first dance was pretty funny. I had to go to the bathroom before, and there was diffulties getting the corset off so we just pulled down the skirt... and Andrea tucked it back up under the corset after. We thought we had it high enough but it slipped down about an inch too much. So everytime we tried to move to dance, he was stepping on me.. so we kinda just swayed in place. I was also barefoot at this point, which I hear looked great on the stone floor. Hippie at heart. Still a great memory though, and I hear we got good pictures and that's what matters.
- So there were a few things that didn't go as planned but didn't ruin my day, either. The stone room was supposed to be open for dancing but we took pictures in it the whole time. We took wayyy too many posed pictures, pretty much the whole day, when I wanted more natural photo journalism pictures. And there was a slight physical altercation between my brother and his girlfriend which got pretty bad at one point but was resolved so it was all okay.
- Oh and. Erics brother Nick came. I haven't met Nick in the 3 1/2 years I've been with Eric, he has anxiety problems and hasn't left the house in that time.. Or left his room when I've been over. But he came to our wedding, which meant a lot to me and I'm sure more to Eric. We didn't get to talk hardly at all though.
- After most of the guests had left, we really started drinking. I had a few kamikaze's (sp?) of course after drinking a little all day. My best memories were at night, I think. There was this one point where Joana and I ran out back into this field of fireflies and flowers and jsut spun around laughing and having fun. It felt like a scene in a movie. Eric and danced in the stone room after that, a lot, but mostly I remember the Modest Mouse song Missed the Boat before I got too alchohol influenced. It was just us dancing and laughing and having fun. So by then pretty much everyone was smashed and the Cotton Eyed Joe song came on.. Big mistake. We danced... and danced... and spun... and danced... and then played it for 15 minutes straight kind of having a drunken dance off.. Eric had stopped dancing at this point and had to make me stop dancing, I was spinning and dancing so fast I was making him motion sick watching me haha. I won't go into more detail about this, but everyone who spent the night at River Birch.. oh my god the beds!!! So soft. And I have NO idea what material the comforter and sheets and pillows were but wow, best sleep I ever had.
- We got up and had breakfast the next morning with everyone then left on the honeymoon, which was perfect. We drove down to the Smokies and stayed in this gorgeous cabin (pictures of the honeymoon are already on myspace). Until about Wednesday my legs were pretty screwed up from so much drunken dancing.. my muscles were so tight I could hardly walk, but I was determined to hike to waterfalls. It was so gorgeous! My legs loosed up a lot by the last day, We didn't make it up to Ramsey Cascades, but got to Grotto Falls and Abrams, where I climbed to the top, It was so cool. The Smokies almost look like a rainforest in some spots. We drove through the Tail of the Dragon which made us SO carsick. We didn't see any black bears (other than the ones we fed at the only tourist trap we stopped at) even though most other hikers did. We can't wait to go back!
- On the way home we stopped in Lexington, KY. We visited the horse park and took some awesome pictures, then went on a tour of Claiborne Farms, most famous to non-racing fans as the home of Secretariat. They let us look and and play with their insane studs. I am probably going to intern there 3 times next year in 2 week groupings.. Their stud handler really liked me and referred me to people to talk to. I am way excited.
- Well my fingers hurt from typing.. thats about it I think.. I doubt anyone will read something so long!

- I must admit. I really hate wedding planning. A lot. My advice to anyone, which all my cousins who got married gave to me (I should have listened: ELOPE. Or at least tell people and then go off on a cruise and get married. Or anywhere. All I want this to be is about us saying our vows and of course the gorgeous dress. But since my parents are paying for most of it, I can't argue too much, and its not about that. It's not about being young and in love and looking pretty for that one day and going on a honeymoon and starting a new life together. It's about what color napkins are on the tables and who sits where and how THEY thing the ceremony should go and the food everyone expects and schedules. It's really not worth it. I just wanted something simple.

| Dare I even say it? |
[16 Jul 2008|01:26pm] |
- I think.. just think.. that I may be better? It really hit me the other day. Eric and I did nothing extraordinary, but there it was at the Starbucks drivethrough. It started at the laundromat. We were just being productive, getting through the disgustingly, alarmingly huge pile of dirty clothes, and looking at real estate books. This one property has been NAGGING me over the last few months, and I turned the page to see it listed. A little perfect parcel for us, right in our price range, but way in the middle-of-nowhere Michigan. And I still got excited about it. And I realized that I would WORK yes WORK a job to have it. Which sounds really odd to hear I'm sure. But lately I've been wondering if I can even hold down a job, or if I even want to. I am by no means irresponsible (people who have met me in the last year, please understand this!). When I was sixteen I took on a full-time job at a vet. Since I was 14 (even though I rode a lot before then) I really devoted myself to training and networking and setting up a career. Which made high school very hard when every weeknight and some weekends I was driving over an hour away to work for it. When we move out to Ypsi two years ago, I was going to college time-and-a-half, working anywhere from 30-70 hour weeks at Carole Grants, and managing an Arabian farm at the same time. I got incredibly sick, got over it a bit (not all the way until just recently) and then started at Avalon. I know that I'm just burned out at this point, but I felt like such a failure. Especially when I had to quit Avalon. During all of this time, the BPD just flourished although I thought I hid it pretty well. But as a result, I'm lost. I have built a great life already and in the last few months I've really been questioning if I want it. The only for-sure thing is I want to marry Eric. I have no idea what I want to do with school! I have no idea what I want my next job to be! I had no idea until the other day if I wanted a house even. I am only nineteen. I shouldn't have to worry about it, and this is what I mean when "it hit me the other day". I don't have to worry about it. I put in time, I'm young enough I should be able to take a break at this point, right? The only thing that has recently made me a little sad is this track opening. I am so excited for the Thoroughbred industry's revival in Michigan. In the last two weeks, I have had jobs offered to me that I dreamed of having since I was 8 and reading that stupid Thoroughbred series (which I still have in boxes). I have had them offered to me right and left without even applying. And my reaction? I HESITATED. I cannot understand that about myself. It blew my mind. But my realization.. why worry about it? These jobs will still be here next season! They may not be easy to get, but then I may have more drive. There's only one job right now I would consider taking there, in fact would love to take, but it will only be on my terms. Which would probably be more unrealistic in any other situation, but I may be able to pull it off in Michigan. This being said.. I am better. I felt happy, truly happy, the other day for the first time in so long. I have wonderful fiance who will be my husband on August 3rd. I have a beautiful apartment that very much reflects our personalities. I live in a beautiful place.How could anyone not like Ann Arbor? And I have career options if I want. That's what its all coming down to. What do I want? Who cares how long it takes to figure it out. I think I deserve a break. I hope this is the end of my chronic indecision.
- Our honeymoon is booked. Really the issue that it came down to was money. We are still struggling a little, but who cares? We are renting a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. A little place just to ourselves, with hiking and kayaking and ATVs and horses right outside the door. We'll go somewhere tropical in the winter.

| All these thoughts at once |
[09 Jul 2008|01:26pm] |
- Things have been a lot better. I have to admit I miss working at Avalon just the littlest bit, but there's so much drama it's definitely better off this way. I've been more relaxed lately and staving off most of my panic attacks, although one hit at the grocery store last night. But overall the situation is getting better. I have more energy than I did, I've been out to Oxbow a tot more lately. I need to go to a thyroid doctor though. I had a physical a while back and they said it seemed like one was swollen/enlarged and thyroid problems run in my family. Eric thinks I eat too much soy. I couldn't live without Boca Burgers & stir-fry with tofu!
- I admit to the past and everything and everyone I loved. I've been trying to sort out through everything in my head, and all I can see now is how much I miss some people and the impossibility of so many situations. I don't regret anything I did now, and I think that's huge. It's uplifting and sad at the same time. I'm still a bit of a mess!
- I'm kinda disappointed that the part-time track job didn't work out. The whole department just sounded too chaotic. Andrea turned them down but took a job as a mutuel teller (taking bets). We've been hanging out a lot more lately, it's fun to have someone to run around downtown Ann Arbor with. I can't wait until she moves out here. Welcome, social life! I've been living under a rock, which didn't help my anxiety. The more I'm out the better it gets so at least I can realize this and work on it. And the BPD is getting better I think. I'm trying really hard at it anyways. It's very difficult to live with but I'm trying to be really honest with myself about everything and work through things. I realize I should have gone to a Dr. or something, but psychiatrists/psychologists/therapists scare me. I've had a lot of people close to me get even more messed up because of them. So I'm depending on myself & Eric. I'm pretty good at keeping things contained in my head I think.
- Love Bug is moving out to Oxbow soon! I just have to get some money together to rent/pay someone to trailer her out. There's good news/bad news with her. She isn't riddled with worms, her mane tail & coat are in good condition, as are her feet.. but she's super skinny, you can see all her ribs. Andrea watched them feed one night and they don't give night hay like they used to and every horse is getting A HALF A SCOOP OF SWEET FEED TWICE A DAY! That's the equivalent of a human eating like a bagel for breakfast and nothing else all day pretty much. I can't wait to get her where I can keep an eye on her. Andrea said she's still really sweet and well-behaved and let her and her dad play with her a lot. Hopefully I'll be able to get some weight on her quick at Oxbow.
- There's some panic going on about the honeymoon now. We can't really afford to go anywhere. My aunt had offered to rent us an Gulf-side apartment in Florida for a week, but we never followed through on it because we really want to go to Oheka Castle.. but now we have to wing it on the money we get as gifts at the reception *bangs head*. Who the hell knows what we're going to do.
- I should go work out. And clean out the closet. And pick up the kitchen. And get shock collars for cats who meow too loud (Just kidding, kind of..)

- So how to explain everything going on! I need to write more just for myself. I quit my job at Avalon. And of course I feel horrible about it, but I needed time to relax and figure my life out. My boss got very sick the week I left, so I've still kept in touch and been very anxious about her. I'm teaching kids lessons and pony camps at a farm called Oxbow, which is okay. THE THOROUGHBRED TRACK IN MICHIGAN IS OPENING! I have job offers coming through a friend. I decided to take it. So that will be soon. I am also actually looking forward to school starting. I want to take a photography class, to meet people and become better at it. I've hit what would be writers block in regards to photography. For a very long time now. I never really knew what I was doing anyways, so trying to make a certain concept work wasn't really easy.
- Wedding planning. Ugh. It's not as great as it sounds! And I'm getting anxiety/panic attacks over it lately. My dress isn't finished yet, it's being custom made, I designed it. Which is terrifying, since obviously I couldn't try it on first haha. I'll just have to love it. My bridesmaids don't have all their dresses yet, I understand that money is an issue, but everyone had a ton of warning about it and I kept the dresses cheap. I'm very worried about Andrea being the only one with a dress. My dad is taking over the ceremony! I wrote a custom script for it, a quietly Christian handfasting ceremony, so I have my way with that. My dad decided he wanted to wear a kilt for my grandma, who is 100% Scottish. I agreed to it, I like my heritage. But now he wants bagpipers leading me down the aisle and back! What the hell! I tried telling him no and he pretty much forced me to at least go listen to the guy play, then he made a deal on the spot. I was put in the awkward position of either saying no to his face and offending him (he was super nice) or going along with it. So I went along. I don't want to be having panic attacks at my wedding! Ugh! Argh! Every other noise of frustration!
- On the other hand, I've been writing A LOT of poetry. And have actually been liking whats coming out. I've been thinking about publishing it soon. Eric really wants me to. I'm really picky though; I don't know if I have enough pieces that I'm proud of to fill a book. If I write when I'm too emotional it comes out crap.
i wish shannon was here for all this.

One of my best friends died this week. I'm absolutely devastated, and so much old hurt has come back that I'm nearly completely overwhelmed. I've been feeling like I've lost a part of myself lately, and I figured out that part was her when we were really close. We used to do literally everything together, and then I made the worst mistake in introducing her to this boy who I thought could be good for her. Instead so much was destroyed, so much that we've worked out since and forgotten, but going through old journals online and such I vividly recall everything that happened and can't help but feel the resentment towards him that had turned to nothingness. I loved her so much, and so much of our fights came from us telling each other when we thought mistakes were being made. We never stopped caring about each other, and always could talk out of the blue about whatever happened to be bothering us. I always loved her even at times that I didn't want to, I always cared when I didn't really want to, and I always tried to help even when it seemed pointless. She introduced me to my fiance, and although she and I fixed our problems they never completely went back to how close they were. It's amazing how much good one person can destroy just to be vindictive. It hurts so amazingly bad. But I"m so confused on things! Maybe its not all what it seems and I think there's good in everyone and every situation but I just can't seem to find it.
She died in her sleep Tuesday morning. She was engaged. I was a bridesmaid. She was getting married on March 13th. Her fiance found her dead. He always took care of her, and its so obvious how in love he was with her. It's just a ridiculous situation. She was 19. She was finally happy, one of the few times in her life that I knew she was genuinely content. I just missed her so bad even a week ago before this happened, since I moved out to school, and I regret so much that I haven't seen her lately.
The funeral was the worst thing I've ever been to. I was shaking through my speech/talk thing and hardly know what I said. Her fiance and I were sobbing the entire times. Her dad held it together until we were leaving and he hugged me and started sobbing and said they missed me and she loved me and oh god it was just horrible. They had her artwork everywhere, one was a piece that Eric always talked about, he sat next to her while she did it and it hung on the wall next to one of his paintings. So many people got reunited at her funeral, and one of her ex-boyfriends made the most eloquent, comforting, honest, amazing speech I think I've ever heard. He had nearly everyone crying. She always thought she wouldn't be missed, but she is. So much. I feel like my little sister has died, thats how I've always thought of her.
I lost Tira and Shannon in one month on top of so many other things. I don't know how much more I can take without having a breakdown. I feel like pieces of me have died. I miss Shannon so much. I just cant say it enough. Eric and I loved her.

- What can I say. So much goes on so quickly that I feel like I'm snatching at lit up fireflies only to lose them when their light goes out. I decided to change my mediocre life and learn to follow through on dreams I had as a child; it led to nothing aside from a decision to keep my Love-ly thoroughbred and spend more money that I don't have. I went out to Maryland for my much-anticipated interview, and was very disapointed. It was a hell of a drive, all through Pennsylvania was wet dreariness, and we got to D.C. so exhausted we could hardly walk. We did wake up with the dawn the next day to take the oh-so-convenient metro to the Mall and dawdle around the Smithsonian and such. I went for my interview in the afternoon, and the stable was almost picturesque but not quite, and the interview not long.. and the terms offered were those that a fifteen-year-old would be excited about. Hardly enough to make a living, and my horse would cost a wonderful fourth of my salary. I was rather sad. We drove back to Michigan thoroughly defeated, and through a snowstorm to top it off.
- Other than that, I will begin learning to save lives next week. I'm excited for my EMT training, and just hope I'm not being delusional and that I'll really like it. My favorite PoliSci prof really wants me to stay at Eastern, but its too late for that. I'm brewing up another storm.
- I've also decided that my life is going to be about me. And the things important to me. I will write more poetry. I will lie down quiet with Eric more often and talk for hours. I will ride my horse every chance I get, and enjoy doing it. We will jump and go to shows this summer. I will make Nicole my protege. I will be outgoing like I used to be; I will be happy. I will hope for more snow storms and drink hot chocolate while watching the flurries when they come.
- Most importantly, I found the best surprise late christmas present for Eric. I will find a way to make it happen.

- I think we may have to move out of the state. We need somewhere, right now, with free housing so that we can catch up on everything. We are so far behind, but still so happy. The choices are pretty much Maryland and New York. I really don't want to leave the job I have now, but Michigan is just too much for the moment. So we may move for 2 years, Eric will be a tech(sp?) then, and we'll come back and buy up 10 acres in Grass Lake or something. I'm going to try to get hired in by Steven Feys, that will work out amazing if it happens.
- I've been sick. A lot. It's making life miserable.
- Eric and I are moving the wedding up to August. We are trying so hard to pull it together. Joana has been great with everything, jumping in and planning like crazy! I have my dress picked out and soon to be ordered, we found the location, and a few potential bridesmaid dresses. Centerpieces and favors are picked out, and possible menus.

----
A bill has been put forth in the US House of Representatives that, if passed, would express the sense of the House that the creation of a United Nations Emergency Peace Service (UNEPS) could save millions of lives, billions of dollars, and is in the interest of the United States. To call your United States Representative and ask him/her to co-sponsor H.Res.213, please visit: http://www.globalsolutions.org/node/558 "When disasters like genocide and tsunamis strike, the first few days and the weeks that immediately follow are almost always the most devastating. Right now, it takes the UN at least a month -- sometimes well over three months in more complicated situations -- to get countries to send help. People in need shouldn’t have to wait while countries go back and forth over the details of relief missions. If we could act more quickly, we could save many lives. "A United Nations Emergency Peace Service (UNEPS) would be a permanent emergency response service designed to complement, not replace, existing peace and humanitarian operations. It would comprise of 150,000 or more police, military and judicial experts, engineers, and relief professionals who would be sent to areas in need of immediate attention, like Darfur, Sudan. UNEPS would provide immediate, short-term assistance while countries iron out the long-term details."

I've been bitten my creative writing muse again, and I have no idea why. In the middle of the afternoon one day I sat down and began writing again, and resolved to add "Write a novel" to my "Things to Do Before I Die" list. I currently have two drafts going- one focusing on Isolde and another of my own making entirely (which, incidently, hasn't been edited or added to in a year *cringes*). I don't know why I'm writing about Isolde, except for the fact that there is, perhaps, a framework that is relatively good but very loose about her life. It will in no way be "historically accurate". Maybe eventually it won't even be about Tristan and Isolde, but nonetheless out they popped. I definitely need to do some character development exercises, since my heroine seems to be going in a million directions and the plot is becoming so over complicated and tangled in my head that it's a mess! But a very interesting one, I gaurantee. Twist twist twist.
Oh my, nothing better to do at near midnight on a Monday.
Go read Stephenie Meyer's books Twilight and New Moon. Very light reading, but amazing character development- seems like you're reading nothing until the plot explodes and you realize you know the characters inside and out. Not your typical teen books, even though that's where they're marketed.
Nice break from Shakespeare and Tolstoy, much as I DO love them.
