Annette - July 15th, 2009

woweeeee! i haven't updated this thing in such a long time. well, a year-ish, but that's a 'long time' to me. what has changed? well, i'm unemployed at the moment. not gonna lie, i'm actually pretty happy about that. i wasn't fired or anything, yet i didn't exactly quit- it just kinda happened. it was like it was just time for me to let go & take a break & i couldn't have asked for a more perfect time for that break. this was back in january, right after my new years trip to the city that holds my heart- NYC<3 . & so i focused on school & decided that was my top priority, got through the semester & now i am enjoying what's left of my summer before returning to my (can you believe this?!) THIRD year of college. WOW. i'm going to be a "junior". well, not exactly sure if they have ranks at community colleges but if there were then i'd be a junior!

i just chose my classes for the upcoming semester earlier this week- of course i will be working on the newspaper staff yet again (duh, who's annette if she's not on a staff? staffs have been my home since the 7th grade, i can't deal without them- it's like a part of who i am is missing.) i'm hoping to make the most of this semester's newspaper staff- peter will be gone (the old EIC) & i really don't want to take on the position of EIC only because i don't think it's a responsibility i want to take on just yet. i know Speere (the prof) would offer it to me in a heartbeat, or better yet appoint me it in a heartbeat- but i think i need to stick to reporting. i love writing. don't get me wrong, overseeing the staff is great, but last semester not writing really got to me. i felt like i needed to be, and my position wasn't to be a writer, so i didn't. i shall write this semester. i shall :)

i'm also taking up acting, haha. not, like, legit- but for fun. as an elective. good grief at 9:30am though. i told my sister this morning "the only real acting i'll be doing is try to stay awake". that's the truth, haha, Lord only knows if i'll actually be able to keep my eyes open. did i mention i'm not a morning person?

wow this is so weird, writing down my thoughts... i feel like i can go on forever. mainly i'm deciding to update today cause elle & i were chatting & we showed each other our old livejournals & i read back on my previous entries [i used to have soo many more but last year i went thru and deleted them cause i felt embarassed cause they were so pointless and i was just a high-schooler when i had written them... looking back now, i shouldnt have deleted them. those posts were what was going on in my life at the time & i could've looked back on them.. guess that's not an option anymore? note to self: do not delete posts, no matter how embarassing they are.... k lying, if they're super embarassing delete them, but for the most part, leave them- if only for the memories.]

um, twitter's taken off. it's so much fun. i loooove twitter. i could tweet tweet allll dayyyy looonggg. thank God for twitterberry on blackberry! oh, that's something else! i have a blackberry :) it's a sweet little thang, that bberry. but sometimes it acts up & i'm like, 'this is unestablished.' so yeah.

tomorrow i'm having friends over to play Scrabble SLAM. I just bought it this week cause me & amanda love Scrabble & we kinda freaked out when we heard about SLAM. k, more like we DID freak out. and we tried to buy it at walmart & target but they were both sold out the two times we went. not fairrrr :/ so i was at target the other day & ta-da! it was there! they had just restocked so it was like i hit the jackpot! woot :)

i think i'll update this thing more often. i really could keep typing, but for the sake of whoever reads this- i won't. leave 'em wantin' mo'. fa sho. yeaahhhh.

i should take up rapping, bye.

i'm supposed to go 'live' tonight at 6pm :/ to be honest i don't really want to, because i already did a live chat this week but i suppose i will do it again. ummmm i also want a good breakfast..or should i say lunch, but there's like not much to choose from right now. we need to go grocery shopping.

i signed up for my newspaper course. the school had to make me my own course number because it only offers college newspaper I&II but because this will be my third semester participating on the newspaper staff, they had to create a "newspaper III" course number for me. so my prof spoke to the secretary at the college and they worked it all out, so i signed up for it today. dad needs to fill out FAFSA.. i love financial aid :) it's a blessing.<3

have i mentioned that i love 'the script'? awesome awesome music. oh & dashboard, of course. they just played on my itunes. <3<3<3

okay i don't have much else to say (surprisingly!) i'm gonna go clean & stuff before the live chat & then my guests tonight.

nicole, chrissy, lindsey & amanda just left my house. we played scrabble slam & uno & watched the real world :) i liked scrabble slam, it was fun, but a short game. i wish they had more cards. tomorrow amanda, lindsey & i are going out to lunch :) should be nice. i love my girlies.

@#^&@$% i'm supposed to write a new episode to 'as lovers go' but i feel so much pressure to make this one scene near perfect & i'm not ready to write it. or maybe i just don't have the desire to. lack of inspiration? i don't even know :( why can't i just write it? i'll try. eeeek okay, i will try.

oh yeah i did my live chat- the viewers must've hated me cause i was sooo boring. they all said i wasn't but i felt like i was, haha.

oh, on a completelyy random note- textsfromlastnight is so funny. definitely made my night today lol. hilarioussss.
