so
i think whoever thought it was a good idea to say such things as
"calm down" or "you need to cool off" when people appear angry
and "i feel there is alot of tension right now" when people seem perturbed with each other

was a complete idiot

The Election... [08 Oct 2008|11:56pm]

ghosts_ontv
I hate how everyone is talking about how Obama is going to blow McCain out of the water. I mean, I want Obama to win... only because I hate McCain/Palin, and my fear is that all this hype about Obama winning will make more McCain supporters come out. I also feel like a lot of people who back Obama wont even vote.


Also, I follow conspiracies and fear that the whole election will be rigged.

This country freaks me out.

Insomnia... [07 Oct 2008|02:25am]

Is everybody's life as chaotic as mine? Ugh, I'm cracking, cracking under the pressure. I can hardly sleep anymore. During the day the stress doesn't really hit because I am constantly on the go. It's just when I lay down to sleep, that my mind starts racing. Every fiber of my being really wants to just give up on everything, but some force isn't letting me.

I wish I had someone to talk to. :(

Although, I did find a second job (hopefully!!), and a sweet babysitter. I hope everything works out. It just has to, right?

Life: [07 Oct 2008|12:46am]

I like it right now.
I have zero stress.
I hang out with tom sometimes, and dana & em the other times.
My band is totally in limbo.
That's the only thing I would really change, but I kind of think music is the only thing that really stresses me out.

Maybe I should just stop trying to make something, and enjoy what other people have made. It's kind of depressing, but I guess I have to become your average person sooner or later.

Also, I went to my first Lions game with Joe Smo, Tom Kelly, and Steve ???. I mean, it was the worst game ever, and it was the Lions, but still another experience.

I recently had to write an essay about an interesting life experience. When I was thinking about it I've had a really weird and interesting life so far, and have done dumb things that a lot of people will never do. I've been on tour, I've been a guinea pig, and I've seen most of America, and a lot of Canada. I think I should just continue to change, adapt, and evolve. I want to see the world. I've said that I want to see every possible country that I can before I die, and I'm going to try and get a job that will give me the money I need to do that. Life, you've given me a crazy experience so far. Let the good times roll.

Also, I saw something about being able to pay $15,000 to have these special russian airplanes take you into
outer space. I really want to do that to. Alien life and outer space blow my mind. ramble, ramble, ramble.

puppy love. [06 Oct 2008|09:57pm]

Auntie Jessica got to babysit Sophie for a little while tonight! I actually got her to sit still for five seconds to take her photo. heh. These photos were literally the only time she was still the whole time I watched her. Puppies are so exhausting! She was so fun to have over though. <3


meet Sophie! )


AND, I did it! I dyed my hair! It's not a drastic change at all, but it's really pretty. It's just a richer, chocolately brown color with a hint of reddish-brown highlights. And silky smoooth. =) But now I need to find someone to trim it for me. Holy smokes with the split ends eeeeek.

I miss watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8" on Mondays. =(

[ music | "but for the grace of god" keith urban ]

As part of his sermon Sunday morning, Father Ken talked about worrying. 40% of what we worry about never happens, so, in essence we are wasting our time by worrying. 30% of what we worry about has already happened, and we can't change the past. 12% are needless worries, such as what someone else thinks about us. 10% of our worries are petty and unimportant such as what’s for dinner, being late, what to wear.
Only 8% of what we worry about can actually be justified. Yet, we still worry the whole entire 100% everyday. My goal this week is to get it down to at least 50%, or at the very least, just worry about the day that I'm in and not forty down the road.

Saturday night I attended my first IAA concert! I was so excited to be back in Corson seeing a concert. They even have the same "turn off your cell phone" announcement as they do in the summer. hehe. The choral ensembles were a-maz-ing. They did some madrigals, a few love poems/songs, and two Magnificats by two different composers, which were so beautiful. I ran into Catherine as I was leaving, she was so proud of John and his first concert conducting the Academy Choir, it was so cute. He really did do a great job though, both conducting and with how great the ensembles sounded. I'm so excited for their December/Holiday concert, they're doing Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" [the dance piece, according to the ohsosmart kids in Professor Kamsky's Music Appreciation class at U of N. LOL]. I seriously have been waiting for them to do it ever since I became involved with Interlochen. yay!

My cousin and her husband sent me a photo of their new son. He is so adorable, I can't wait to meet him! I have no idea what is going on for Christmas on that side of the family, but hopefully I at least can stop by and see them and meet Sebastian. ♥♥

I got my oil changed in my car for the very first time today. Never before have I ever felt like such a dumb girl. haha. I had no idea what I was doing, I had no idea what they were doing, I just pulled into the garage at Jiffy Lube, they did their thing, charged me, and I was done. I didn't even know how to pop my hood. LOL. The second I pulled out of there they were probably cracking up. ohhh well. I actually can feel a difference in the way my car runs now though, it's nice.

I actually have today off! I didn't request it, Lord knows I needed the money to work, but somehow neither of my jobs scheduled me. hooray. I have a lot of cleaning to do before my parents come up, and I decided to make a yummy soup in my crock pot for dinner. For now, I'm sitting at my favorite coffee shop in Interlochen. I just love driving anywhere up here this time of year. Everything is so beautiful, and I love seeing all the farm stands with their millions of pumpkins. I can't wait to go to cider mills and wineries with my parents this weekend!

The only thing I miss about living in a bigger city rather than a "small town" is being able to go to Starbucks at any hour of the day. Everything closes so early around here, except Meijer. haha.

Three more days until Abby is here!! =) =) I can't wait to show her the beach, go for long walks downtown, and have her meet everyone! Hopefully she can meet Sophie and Bandit too, I think they would get along great.

I'm seriously considering dying my hair tonight. eeeeek. My friend Katy at work just did her's, and it's this gorgeous chocolatey brown color, and I'm so tempted to do mine. I just want it a little deeper brown. I do like my hair and it's got nice shine and everything, but I think I want a little change.

This entry has turned into a great big mess of things, huh? There's a lot going on in my head lately. There are so many little things going on right now that are so wonderful, then there are some big-ger things going on right now that put a smile on my face every minute of the day, but somehow I feel like this is the calm before the storm. I sort of feel like there's something on the horizon that is huge and potentially scary.

Who knows. It's probably just part of the 40%.

I'm starving, urgh... I really need a cigarette though. I'm not intentionally trying to quit, it just sorta happened naturally. Yesterday I only smoked one cigarette, and now I find myself particularly on edge. I hate this stupid IM noise, which in turn makes me want to reach through the computer and punch Will. Agh. I really want to continue, but I don't see this happening.

Anyway, school is going well, but keeping the faith is becoming harder and harder. I hate this winter depression, it hit me like a ton of bricks this year.

Okay, well off to do homework.

Reading... [04 Oct 2008|12:10am]

I've started reading more. I finished the book version of 2001: A Space Odyssey last night. It really makes you think about how stupid and trivial a lot things are, but also how crazy the universe is or could be. Today I started reading Brave New World today. I'm only 2 chapters in, but it's pretty crazy. All books about the future, anything related to the future. Crazy/Amazing.

I can't believe it's friday already. [03 Oct 2008|08:29am]

CSI: NY wins this week over CSI: Miami. I liked the plot a bit better, AND, the episode featured music from Maroon 5, including a concert by them in Central Park in the beginning of the episode. yay!!

Ugh, plus Miami pissed me off because of course the new M.E. is young and hot and sassy and Eric was all drooling over her. I'm so sick of inter-lab relationships, they tease you alllllllll season with flirting and potential love scenes but then they never end well and turn out to be nothing.

ANYWAY, this week has been rough. Work-wise it's been pretty OK, however, that's actually been ultimately the source of my stress. I've been pretty anxious every night this week, just over-thinking everything in my life. Especially the fact that I have a college degree and still working in retail. I'm so frustrated that I can't get hired anywhere. I must have sent out a thousand resumes and cover letters, but I've heard absolutely nothing from anyone. I just feel like I'm letting so many people down because I haven't done this yet. I feel all loser-y, like I'm just going to turn out unmarried and have a low-salary job living in a rented apartment with a few dogs for the rest of my life. =(

Plus, after last weekend, it's been increasingly hard to come home to my empty apartment. Some days it's totally fine, because after working with people all day it's nice to come home and be alone, but still...

Mehhh ok before I mope anymore, I'm going to get a latte before work.

you and I. [29 Sep 2008|09:20pm]

Our comfort is true
The years made it so
I know you
But you don't know
How am I to live?
Why must we go our separate ways?
Be who we are not
We are as we stay
We're done if we're undone
Finished if we are incomplete
As one we are everything
We are everything we need.




I haven't been so pleasantly tired in a long time. But, it's going to be a lonely night, and my feet will be cold.

I am completely amazed at the power my dad has of making me feel guilty, when I do absolutely nothing wrong. I mean, I go out on a date, and he starts grilling me randomly. Asking his name, age, where we went, what we talked about, where he works, blah blah. Like, wtf, am I 14 again? And even then, he never pryed so much. I think this may be the first time he actually asked me about a guy.

Weird. Whatever. I had fun. :)

Goodnight!

This weekend has been pretty fun. Aside from nearly fainting at the club right in front of Big Boy and his entourage. =\. Haley and I always have the best nights, I swear!!

Yesterday I went out with Ben. I think we are "reconnecting." If I didn't like him last year, I don't know where I am getting the idea that I'm gonna like him now. Eh, I guess we'll just see how it goes.

Anyway, now I'm gonna make myself seem like a big date-whore, but I'm going out with Mark to dinner tonight. lol! Ahh well. I really need to study for my Political Science test, damn boys. =P

Hope all is well. :)
