Within the past 6 months, my life has done a complete 180.

There are a few things that I wish, with all my heart, had turned out differently.
There are also a lot of things.. that have turned out perfectly.

For some reason i just don't feel the need to "update livejournal" anymore. I still may occasionally, but those of you that care..know what's going on in my life.

And honestly, that is all that matters.

My mom left this morning.

They're really gone..

Mon, 05 Mar 2007 16:36:20 GMT

My life as of late, has ruled.
But then again..
doesn't it always?

(+) I'm about to live in a sweet 80's townhome with the best roommate alive.
(+) I'm dieting and exercising and two people have already said I look skinnier.
(+) Six Flags with some of my favorite people soon.
(+) I'm a Guitar Hero master. hahaha well...on Hard, anyway...for the most part..
(-) Josh is still better at Guitar Hero than me!!! >_<
(+) I'm going to Pennsylvania soon! I haven't seen Bekah and Chris in over a year, and I haven't even MET their son yet!
(+) Josh got me into UT.. so I will soon be a gamer nerd again, I'm sure. :]
(+) Parks at night with amazing people, and Bruiser is pretty much the cutest, sweetest dog ALIVE.
(+) Brett is coming back to Jax soon which means Christy's wings n things with him and all his friends.
(+) Brett's English BULLDOG is going to have puppies soon and I WANT ONE. ..... that's all I have to say about that.
(+) Seeing the midnight showing of 300 this Thursday night with Tracy/Josh/Thomas?/Bre & Derek? and whoever else. EXCITED!??!?! guh. This movie better be freakin amazing.
(+) Buying a beach cruiser with Rachel soon to go riding at the beach! Hahaha.
(+) Also, Mellow Mushroom with Rachel hopefully TOMORROW!
(+) My life continues to rule.

We're signing our lease and moving in on March 31st.

If ANY OF YOU want to help us move that day, we will buy you lunch! Pizza or subs or something easy like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :]

I'm happy.

Sat, 03 Mar 2007 14:28:03 GMT

Ummmm Tracy and I found a place to live!!!!!!
And I am SO excited. It's a townhome! 2 bedroom, 2.5 baths. 2 story. 1350 square feet! Built in the 80's. Omg, we rule. We're going to look at it again today and hopefully sign a lease. Plus side? If we sign before March 31st, we get a free 32 inch TV. Free = the win. I'm not too thrilled about the location (Baymeadows/Southside Blvd) but it's not too bad because it's still pretty close to JTB.

In other news, I've started back on my hardcore diet. This time I'm exercising too! What a concept. Except for last night, I definitely had me some Christy's Wings N Things. Cajun Ranch wings.. who could say no to that?
Ugh im a fat kid.

Last night was fun. Good times with Tracy, Bre, and Shawna. Attempts to make muffin videos.

FIRE!!!!

...

Texas Roadhouse tonight.
Six Flags soon.
Gonna be broke 100% of the time soon.
Parents are leaving for good soon. :(
PENNSYLVANIA soon!
etc.

Happy? All the time.
<3

i have no words.

im just tired of thinking about it all.

Sat, 24 Feb 2007 14:38:39 GMT

I woke up this morning to the Aqua Teen theme song playing in my head.

A sign that it's going to be a good day?
I THINK SO!

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 23:57:01 GMT

If you buy me this dog I will be your personal slave for an entire day.

Seriously, you can't say no to that face.
p.s. His name is Samson.

<3

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:42:44 GMT

Life has been CRAZY.
My dad was in the hospital all weekend. He's out, and okay now. And in TN, working at Dell Computers.
Weird.

We have to be out of our house by March 9th.
Even weirder.

I'll be moving in with Tracy in her 1 bedroom for about a month.
Until we find our own place. Which needs to happen before April.

WEEEEEEEEEEIRD.

My life is weirding me out.

Sunday, Justin, Rachel, Josh, and I went to the Pet Expo downtown.
Omg... I almost died and adopted like 1354792 puppies. There was this one Pit Bull mix named Samson, CUTEST THING EVER. *sigh*

Alisa and Peyton came into town on Monday and we had coffee. And then lunch at Osaka's with everyone. And THEN dinner at Longhorn with everyone again. Good times. I spent waaay too much money that day. Seriously, I need to uuhh.. stop doing that.

I was supposed to wake up at 5:45 this morning to study for a test I have this afternoon, that I have not studied for yet. And I didn't wake up until 8am, only because my mom called me. Ughh. And I'm not allowed to "do homework" at work. So I'm praying they'll let me off early.. so I can at least study a little. UGHHHH.

VM pretty much rules my life.
As do mini-road trips that haven't happened yet, but will.
I wish there was a pet expo like, every week.

....

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 02:08:07 GMT

This week went by extremely fast.

Another weekend is yet upon me!
Victory is mine.

For the record, MI3 is one of the greatest movies, ever.

Many movies are out on dvd currently that I would like to add to my growing collection, none of which I'll be buying anytime soon, due to the fact that I'm about to be broke for the rest of my life as a college student. Ah, well.
However, if any of you are feeling generous (hey, July 30th isn't that far away), here they are:
Running With Scissors
Crank
The Science of Sleep
Little Miss Sunshine
The Descent
The Prestige

Tomorrow night I will be going out to eat with my parents. It'll be our last meal together for... well, quite some time.
We all know how I feel about this, no need for me to say it again.

One very big piece of news,
My parents sold the house a lot quicker than they expected. We have to be out of here by March 9th. Which means, I'll be moving in with Tracy until we can find a 2 bedroom apartment.
... I'm not sure what else to say about that, except we need to find a place to live soon.

I got a new SK3 because my old one was busted.
Now I don't sound like an echoing alien anymore. Just in case you were concerned. :]

Ps.
I've forgotten how much I love Taking Back Sunday.

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 05:04:14 GMT

I bought a string quartet version of Underoath, and it's amazing.
Bre has the Fall Out Boy one and i WANT A COPY.

In other news, I'm sick of crying and being sad.
Today was my dad's last day at our church (he leaves this coming Saturday, my mom leaves a few weeks after that). Everyone was hugging him bye and I couldn't even stay to watch, I literally had to leave before I lost it.
I didn't think I'd be this sad, truthfully.
I'm 20 years old. I'm independent. I'm perfectly capable of living on my own and dealing with things on my own.
I just don't want them to leave, plain and simple. I'm afraid I'm going to miss them too much. And I don't want to move to Tennessee. I mean, they're all the immediate family I have. I don't have siblings. It's been me, and them... my entire life. Period. And now they're going to be 9 hours away. I KNOW I have best friends, I know there are still people here that care about me and are there for me, so why do I constantly have this nagging feeling of suddenly just..being alone?

I know God's going to take care of me.
I should have more faith, I KNOW I should. But yet I still worry. Every day I try not to let it get the best of me, and every day I fail miserably. It consumes me. It's almost all I can ever think about. I wish I could just give it all to God.

Why can't I?

No crying tomorrow.
I swear.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TRACY I LOVE YOU!!!!!

<3333

SWING GLADIATORS!

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 12:16:03 GMT

Tracy and I are moving out together.

This excites me because:
1) I'll be living with TRACY, something we've AAAALWAYS talked about wanting to do
2) We won't have to live in the ghetto (haha)! We can actually afford a nice place.
3) It's going to be so much less $$ for me and my parents vs. me living on my own.

I'm so happy.
We're going on Saturday to look at apartments and I'm hoping we can find one we both like.
Our apartment is going to be the sweetest place to hangout, ever.
Hahahaha. AHHHH.

I'm pretty excited for The Number 23 and 300 to come out. AND HARRY POTTER!!!

Sunday I might be ice skating.
I'll end up falling a billion times like a fool.
Oh well.

Last night me, Josh, Justin, and Rachel went to the Art Walk down town. It was pretty cool. We then went to Publix and bought some mentos/diet coke to see if the rumor was true for ourselves. Went to a random park, exploded two bottles of Diet Coke, and then proceeded to play on the swings for an hour. And then played a sweet game of soccor, except not really, because Rachel kept trying to turn it into dodgeball/volleyball/football. And then Josh and Justin decided to be Swing Gladiators.

Ohh, how I wish I had my camera.

Haha.

I love my life..

I'm still sad about my parents moving away.
And I'm still stressed out beyond belief.
Buuuuuuuut..
I'm dealing with it. I mean..

What else can I do?

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 03:40:03 GMT

i shouldn't have an amazing day like i did today,
and then drive home crying.

my parents are moving.
i don't think it's quite hit me until today.
they're moving.. 9 hours away.
they won't be here.. for anything.
and i'll see them twice a year just like i see the rest of my family in tennessee.

i don't like this.
i don't LIKE that i don't know where i'm going to be living, or whether i'll be by myself or with someone.
i hate the fact that my parents are going to be using their savings to help me live on my own, because i can't afford to do it alone.

i feel like i have no one to talk to about this.
and there's nothing really to say in all actuality..
but every day i just feel like it's getting a little harder to deal with.

but all i've done is stess and complain to everyone i know about this.

is this going to be ok?

i know i need to have more faith..
i just need to be told it's gonna be okay.

.....
i feel like my life is actually starting to somewhat get back on track..and now, they're leaving.
and i'm going to be more alone than i have ever been in my life.

mad rad love, baby

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:17:20 GMT

My life is all KINDS of ups and downs.
Mostly ups.
And the downs really aren't downs, per se. More like obstacles that I'm not sure how to overcome.

Here's what I know, for sure:

-My parents are definitely selling their home.
-My dad is definitely leaving Feb. 18th for Nashville, TN
-My mom will definitely be moving up there probably 3-4 weeks after that.
-I either have to move into a tiny studio apartment, or find a roommate and move into a 2 bedroom, or find someone that already has a place and needs a roommate. All within the next month or so.

I've been worrying and stressing about everything WAY too much, and it's time I just let it all go. My mom and I and maybe Tracy are going apartment hunting on Saturday and I'm just not going to worry about it one bit. God will take care of me.

Last night was great.
I <3 VM.
I only have 1 class today. :D
I've decided that when I move out, I'm going to Hobby Lobby for all my apartment decorations, hands down. They have the cutest stuff and it is ALWAYS on sale.. haha yessss.
I'm bringing my piano with me to my apartment. I don't care how much room it takes up!
Tracy's 21st bday is soon and it's going to be INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE.
I watched the Goonies for the FIRST TIME yesterday, and it was amazing.

hello,

I'm happy.
:]

It's official.

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 16:37:44 GMT

Unless something changes,
Dell Computers in Nashville, TN wants my dad to start on February 19th.
My mom would stay here in Jax for his 5 week training, but after that she'd be moving up there with him.

I feel weird about everything..

On top of the fact that I'm a full time college student who doesn't make that much money. I need a place to live. For a year, at least.

Pray for me?
I know God will work everything out but it'd be nice to at least know where I'm going to be living..I know I shouldn't worry too much about it, but it's hard not too.

In other news,
I'm demanding that Brett give me one of his bulldog puppies whenever they have them. bwahahahaha.
I have a Real Estate Law exam today that I haven't studied enough for.
Probably gonna eat at Five Guys or Tijuana Flats with Josh, and then I'm not doing a thing after my last class. Tracy and Bre, hollaaa??

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 17:56:09 GMT

hmmmmmmmm.
I'm not really sure what's going on, with anything in my life.
And for once I'm pretty okay with that.
And.... I'm happy.

And.. I'm so sorry that I've hurt YOU.
You deserve to be happy too. And I'm SO thankful that you are still one of my best friends. I pray for you daily.

I love my life..
It's weird and confusing at times..
But I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm going on a road trip when I graduate,
and I know who I want to come with me.
And it's going to be amazing, and I don't care if I spend all of my savings.
What else am I saving for, anyway?

My parents might be moving 9 hours away. I'm pretty sure that fact just hasn't quite sunk in yet. And when it does, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a shock.

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 18:00:40 GMT

ooooh, life.

The riverwalk is beautiful at night.

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 18:07:17 GMT

i freakin LOVE MY LIFE!!! AHHH!!!

oh ps. tell all your friends:

what: football/ultimate frisbee
when: Sunday afternoons
where: probably The Dunes off of Monument Rd.

If you don't come, you fail at life. :]

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 18:19:21 GMT

I have a feeling that this year is going to be amazing.

I have the best friends in the world. I'm not even joking.
Bre's friend Bill came into town yesterday and he's awesome! Totally fits right in with us.

Tonight, Me, Tracy, Brean, and Derek are driving to Orlando and tomorrow = DISNEYWORLD!

Please, be jealous, all of you.

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 18:09:45 GMT

well, plans have changed.
my parents sound pretty definite that they are moving to tennesee.
But i guess they are going to sell the house?

So i need a place to live.....asap. Any takers?...

In other news,
I can't WAIT for Pan's Labrynth to come out in theatres.
And The Number 23.

I'm back to taking 5 classes this semester with hardly any free time. and at least 2 out of the 5 classes are requiring group "projects", which means that's 10 other people with 10 totally different schedules than mine that I have to somehow meet outside of class.
i HATE college, and college professors that act like THEIR class is the only thing you have to do in life.

i have a $25 gift certificate to Caribbean Connection.
I should go spend that :]

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 17:30:17 GMT

ugh...
