Meet Me In Outer Space

Listening to; Stellar - Incubus
Feeling; awake!

I really have nothing in particular to talk about, I just felt like blogging :) So, I'm totally digging my Jeep! I've named him Maxwell Silvertires. Here's a little background info as to why because that probably makes no sense. My dad has named his truck Rita. He says like Margarita, but my mom and I say its because of the Beatles song Lovely Rita. My mom has a blue dodge neon, so we call it the Blue Meanie like from the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine. Now, naturally all of this still probably makes no sense to you if you're not a Beatles fan so I'm really sorry :P But, there is a Beatles song called "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". And my jeep is most definitely a boy. One of the first things I noticed was that the tires were either REALLY clean or the previous owner just got new ones and they are really silver and shiny. So, I thought Max would be an appropriate name. Then I just elaborated it to Maxwell Silvertires. Bahaha, I love it.
Anywho, I've been up since like, 7. I go to work @ 1045. I've been drinking coffee all morning. I've been using my new belgan chocolate creamer. SO good :3 But yeah, I work 1045-245 then I go back in a 6 then get off at 9. Which is awesome. Yay money, right? Right!

Well, I just thought I should let you into my morning right now, it's been pretty awesome so far! Hopefully this day goes well!

Keep on keepin' on!

So, slightly good news!
Thursday. 12.3.09 10:22 pm
And by slightly I mean all-around good news!
I GOT A CAR!
A jeep, to be more specific :D
It's a 97 black Jeep Cherokee. I'm freaking in love with it. Just got it today and drove it around for the first time. I must have good karma (or CAR-MA lolol wow, corny) because so many good songs came on the radio while I was driving around. One of my favorite Tom Petty songs came on, a Beatles song came on along with a Led Zeppelin and like a few other great ones. It was good times.
Also, I pretty much have a B average in all of my classes which is ALSO fantastic. AND my dad is *crosses fingers* pretty sure not going to lose his job. Which is great. Really great. And I'm getting more hours at Bath & Bodyworks which is seriously so cool. All in all, things are just looking up in general. Now all that needs to happen is for the University of South Carolina to accept me (however, I should you know, probably send in my application?) and things will be as close to perfect as they could possibly be right now.
AH.
:D

Yep.

Keep on keepin' on!

Listening to; Kids - MGMT
Feeling; stressed/pissed/upset

Thus far, blogging has made me feel better instead of bottling up my emotions like I generally do. I'm pissed. And stressed. And just generally upset right now. All because of one STUPID thing. Money. Money, to me, really is the root of all evil. It causes 99% of every single argument in this household. It is just absolutely ridiculous. My mother has been laid off since January (almost a year, ugh) and my dad's company just got sold to another company so he is stressing out about keeping his job and there has just been nothing but bad vibes throughout this whole house. I finally start feeling a little bit better and then everything else goes to shit. I just don't understand this at all. I just really hope my dad doesn't get laid off. I have no idea what will happen. I'm not so much worried about myself because I still have so much ahead of me, but I'm just so worried about my parents that it just overcomes me with stress and an anxious feeling and I'm not sure what to do about it. Nothing, I guess. There really is not a whole lot we can do in a situation like this. I'm just hoping that he keeps his job and that my mom gets her degree and can find a decent paying job so they can stand on their feet without worrying all the time. I just feel so helpless right now. Everywhere I turn in this house its nothing but stress. This car situation is just fucking ridiculous right now and I would much rather not ever talk about it until I actually have a car but who the hell knows when that is going to happen. I have a headache just from thinking about all of this at once. This is too much.
I think I just need to listen to some calm music and finish my hot chocolate.

No question today, but if you have a question for me, I'll definitely answer it next blog! :D

Keep on keepin' on.

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet

Listening to; Mushaboom - Feist
Feeling; Chipper

Yeah, so not a whole bunch has been going on since last post. School and such. Kind of stopped by the dealer to look at a possible car. Didn't get to ACTUALLY look at it, since they didn't know we were actually there. My mom and I were creepin' and just decided to look without being bothered. Both of us are completely frustrated with this damned car situation. UGH. Whatever, I'm just not going to let it get to me. When it happens, it will happen. But the car is really nice. It's like, a mid/late 90's Honda Civic. It's blue. I like it. I hope I get it. That's the kind of car I've been telling my dad to get me since day one. Hopefully this will work out for us. *crosses fingers*
So, school is almost over!!!!!!!!! Then a full month (31 days to be exact) off. Fannnnnntastic.
I start my first exam tomorrow. All it is, is a read and response essay. Hell. Yes. I always get no less than a B on all of my essays, which is fantastic because she never gives out As. That one is practically in the bag. And I have a B average in all my classes thus far. I am just in a fantastic mood right now.
-----------EDIT------------
I forgot to mention I AM SO EXCITED THAT IT IS DECEMBER NOW!
I don't know why, but I just love December. Who else loves December?! The only thing I don't like is the whole, no snow thing here. Bump. That.
But I like sweaters and slippers and hot tea and hot chocolate and coffee and bonfires and hot apple cider and cuddling up in blankets when it is cold outside. So yes, this is by far (including November) my favorite month!

So, what is everyone listening to at the current moment? Right now, it's Stockholm Syndrome - Blink 182.
Also, what is everyone's favorite book or author. Or both, whatever. I'm almost finished with re-reading the Harry Potter series and I'm going to need more books to read after! :D

Keep on keepin' on!

With You In Your Dreams
Sunday. 11.29.09 11:41 am
Ohai Guys!

Wow, sorry for the lack of updateage going on over on my end. Needless to say, it's been a hectic weekend thankyouverymuch Black Friday. Excluding last night (technically this morning since I got in about 3am today) I've pretty much gotten a solid 4 or 5 hours of sleep all weekend.

Thursday was great. I got to see Olivia (8scribbledlines) and it was just fantastic. I'm very excited to have more time to spend with her over Christmas break ^.^

Black Friday was insane. It wasn't bad but I sure as hell would not want to do that every day. I had my moments where I was enjoying myself. I didn't work the register once because they like having me out on the floor to sell stuff which, not to toot my own horn or anything, I am pretty good at, hahaha :D I love my job very much. I am very comfortable there and I get along with everyone there. I've seem to have just fallen into place there. You know how when you start a new job (or if you've never worked, if you're hanging out with someone that you know is really cool) and it's just hopelessly awkward? Yeah, that never happened to me. Which is seriously just great. I think, hope, wish, pray that they are going to keep me on after seasonal stuff and give me more hours because I have been wanting this job for so very long.
So, after I got off work I come home to drink some coffee and stuff because I ended up going to a bonfire that night which really wasn't that awesome and I should have just done something else because there ended up being more people that either a) I didn't know well or b) I didn't really want to see other than people I really did want to see. I was literally shaking with exhaustion after working so I really didn't want to be around a huge mob of people and I was under the impression that that was not what this was going to be. So I went in to the kitchen, so of course everyone else ended up in there. Ugh, whatever. I had fun regardless.

Yesterday was just a blasty-blast and thats all there is to it.

SO! How was everyone's holiday? Or, weekend for that matter?

Keep on keepin' on!

Typical Cliche Thanksgiving Entry
Thursday. 11.26.09 8:25 am
listening to: Capturing Moods - Rilo Kiley
feeling: Thankful

Yeah, I figured I should probably have one of these entries where I discuss just what Thanksgiving means to me. I mean, it really is one of my favorite holidays not just because I get to eat until I barf (even if that is the number one perk)

Thanksgiving to me is so much more than what we've learned in elementary school. You know, the Pilgrims came over and almost died and then the Indians decided they weren't going to be dicks and actually help the pilgrims out and show them how to make/cook food on the foreign land and whatnot so that is why we give thanks. Whatever. It feels just as fabricated to me as Columbus day does because let's face it, homeboy really didn't do much of anything. But I'm just getting off-track as I so often do.
Thanksgiving is not so much thinking about back to the times and remembering how weak and feeble the pilgrims were without the help of the Indians, it is a holiday that really helps me to look back from the past year and really realize how great I have it and to really just be in such awe of what I have and to not be so self-righteous like I can (as do so many others whether or not you believe you are or not) be or not even if I do not realize it.
This year in and of itself has just been so terribly shitty to say the absolute least. It has just been one thing after another, gaining more and more speed and velocity. The snowball effect, if you will. It started off alright, hell the new year started off great! It really just went down hill. Sure, I can't deny that there have been great times but on the whole? It's been terrible. It's too early for new year's resolutions but I'll go ahead and start brainstorming on what I am thankful of. Tis the season!

I am thankful for my parents. I am thankful that they really do love me, even if at sometimes it seems like they're the furthest thing from it. I am thankful for my friends. I am thankful for the ones that have stuck around for so long because I know that I am a bit much to deal with. Just know, that I'm really working on it and I understand that I get carried away and I'm a bit obnoxious and a million other annoying things but I have so much unconditional love for all of you, you have no idea. Thank you. I am thankful that I have a house over my head. Financial hardships have really hit this family hard and it's really scary going almost day to day not knowing if we're going to have enough money for something like food (sometimes we just, don't). Like my dad has said (who followed the Grateful Dead, and if you don't know you they are then you probably won't get this reference so I'm sorry) "We will get by, we will survive". And my mother who is very much in love with the Beatles says right back, "Love is all you need" (I do love my parents sometimes :D)
I am thankful that my parents are doing everything in their power to get me a running car. I understand that I am being a tad bit selfish these days, but I am just frustrated as I'm sure they are too because they're the one's paying for it, not me.
I am thankful that I am able to go to school, even if I hate the school I am at right now. I am thankful that I've made it this far in life. I am thankful that I am as smart as I am because I know that I am smart and that I am fully capable of being very smart in school. I am thankful that I have everything I need to be a successful person. I am thankful for the Earth because without it, I would not be here having these amazing experiences with these amazing people. I am thankful for the amazing opportunities I've been given throughout my life.

I think that is it for right now.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! :D

Question time!
Okay, I have two!
1) What is your favorite dish served at Thanksgiving dinner?
2) What are you thankful for?

I'll go ahead and try and answer. 1) It depends. If I'm at my Uncle Skip's for Thanksgiving he makes THE BEST homemade turkey noodle soup. Homemade noodles and all. And his bread is the best. Also my grandma is up there and she makes THE BEST pumpkin and cherry pies everrrrr. If I'm home (like I am now) it is green bean casserole and my moms stuffing. SO GOOD.
2) You've already read what I'm thankful for!

Keep on keepin' on!
