| I guess it's time to update again. I know it's been over a month since I've written anything, but I haven't done anything of note.
It's strange to no longer be in school. My roommate gets up every morning, goes to class, goes to work, and has a full day. I get to sleep in (but I try not to), then go volunteer at EFCC, then come home and sit around, clean, or go to the gym. I haven't found a job yet, which is starting to get depressing, but I know I'll find something soon. There are a couple interesting job opportunities through the University Hospital system, but I don't know whether or not they'll pan out. I'm just not sure I have the experience they want or will hire for. However, I'll never know until I try, which is something I need to keep in mind.
I finally signed up and sent in my money for the Avon 2-Day walk in June. I've not really done anything with raising money (which is going to be rough), but I've worked on my training. I need to be able to walk 26 miles the first day and 13 the second. I'm now up to walking/biking/elliptical-machining for between 7 to 8 miles, which I think is pretty good. I was going to head off to the gym today, but my knee is hurting, so I think it's probably a good idea to let my knee rest and I'll just go back tomorrow.
That's about it for me. I told you there was nothing new and interesting to report! | | |
| This has been a very interesting couple of days. On Friday, my friend Emily (the one I lived with while living in the house) called to ask if I could take her to the hospital. She was really sick, and needed to get medicine to help the nausea. While I was in Urgent Care, I found out Emily needed to go to the E.R. because they thought she might have appendicitis. It turns out she didn't have that, just a bad case of the flu, so she got fluids and anti-nausea medication.
While I was with her in the hospital, I got the word from a nurse that Coach Snyder decided to quit being a basketball coach and leave the team with 6+ games left in the season. The assistant coach took over, and lead the Tigers to a win. That was big news because they'd lost the previous six games by a margin of at least 13 points. So now I think we're finally on the upswing, but it was only one game so it'll be hard to tell.
On Saturday, my friend Alyssa came in town, so it was a night of drunken debauchery which ended up with us at Steak-n-Shake at 3 in the morning eating enough food to feed a small army.
On top of all this, my brother and sister came in town for the weekend to see my sister play basketball on Saturday. Kat's team won (huge), and we all went to have an amazing meal at Village.
This morning I got up to take my sister's dog, Sammy, to the vet for a tranq shot to keep him from getting sick on the way back to STL. I brough Sammy home, where the drug took effect really quickly, so the dog started stumbling around like he was drunk, and had a hard time keeping his eyes open. I hate to laugh at something like that, but it was really funny. Sam and I cuddled on the couch while waiting for my sis to get back from her dentist appointment, just keeping him company.
All and all a good weekend. This week should be slow, which will be nice. | | |
| Ahh, time to write another update. I haven't been up to much lately. Just working (a little), looking for another job (a little), and working on organizing my room. I got this book for Christmas last year, and ended up shoving it into a corner and just found it last night. It's all about organizing your place one minute at a time, which is great for me. Therefore, after Grey's Anatomy tonight, I've been reading the book and making notations on things I think I need to follow.
Today my roommate and I decided to have the anti-Super Bowl party where we only watched the commercials and half-time show. The half-time show with The Rolling Stones in one word: A-F*ING-MAZING! I love the Stones, and it was phenominal. Two older songs, and one of their new ones. Plus, it was great to see so many different age groups rocking out together. The game was lackluster, but I think that's because I hate professional football. It was great to hang out with my roomie, her fiancee, his puppy, and of course Megan! It was just us eating tons of food, laughing at commercials, and just being chill and relaxed.
It was a little awkward having her fiancee around, but I think it was just because he was the only guy there, but he's cool and I hope to think that he likes me and has no problem with me. Since his dog was over, the kitties decided to hide in my bedroom under my bed. Beckham actually came out enough to taunt Morien (the dog), before running back into my room with his tail the size of a Christmas tree. Once the two boys left, the kitties came right out and ran around the place.
Emily and I began cleaning up right away, and the place was spotless in the matter of several minutes. The only reason why I cleaned up so quickly was to keep Beckham from jumping on the countertops and the table to snack on our food!
Plus, I got to clean my room a little while Meg and I tried to figure out where to hang some of my pictures and a set of shelves I've had for a while. Now all I need to do is hang them up!
This week is not going to be anything interesting. There isn't a lot going on with anything fun this week. The Tigers have an away game on Tuesday, and since it's against Baylor, I'm hoping for a win (but probably not certain). Then on Saturday it's another game that my sister Kat is playing in!
I'm still looking for a job, and hopefully will find something soon. My friend Laura has a time-share in Vegas in April, and I want to go for Spring Break. If I can find a job, maybe I'll be able to pay for a cheap flight and a couple days of fun (but no gambling)! | | |

| I hate it when I can't sleep. Here is yet another night where I'm tired, physically and mentally, but I can't sleep. Maybe I should stop watching movies late at night, or maybe I should stop eating past 9, but for some reason I have been not able to fall asleep until after 2 for the past week. It sucks, royally. I just want to get a good night's sleep, and I guess that won't happen any time soon!
I've been lying in bed since around midnight, and I just keep thinking about all sorts of stuff. I wish there was a way I could just turn my brain off when it's time for me to get some rest. I'm exhausted, but there are so many things I could be thinking about, and I normally go through the list. Every night it's the same thing. I try to get into bed earlier....doesn't happen. I try to get up early and do a ton of stuff during the day....doesn't happen. I try to clear my mind and just focus on the necessities of breathing and relaxation...doesn't work. Something always pops into my mind, and I break every sort of 'resolution' I set for myself.
Tonight, for example, I was watching a movie and I started thinking about a guy I dated a couple years ago. Well, dated is almost an understatement. We went on 1 or 2 dates, nothing serious. However, every time we see each other, we're automatically drawn to each other. I know the second he walks into a room, and I think he is the same way. No matter how long it's been since we've seen each other, it's always the same whenever we hang out...like no time has passed. I haven't seen this guy since May, but I still think about him all the time (and I hope he thinks about me). I don't know when I'll see him again, and I know it shouldn't matter, but I'd love to hear from him again. I'd love to be out with friends, and see this guy at the restaurant or bar and start up exactly where we left of. It doesn't help that we always seem to hook up when we're together (most of the time it's spur of the moment).
I just wish I knew what was going on with the guy. I'd love to get a letter, a phone call, an email...something! I want to find a way to get him out of my mind. I've tried dating other guys, and it doesn't work. I'm always drawn back to him. I've even accidentally called another guy his name...oops. What's going on? Am I meant to be with this guy or something? It's been 3 or 4 years since we became friends, and almost a year since the last time I saw him, but I still think about him all the time.
I guess I felt comfortable around him, and I knew I could talk about anything and everything. We're so alike, and yet so different. He's a D.Y.R. and I'm uber-liberal, but we are both basketball freaks. We went to the same high school, but didn't know it until much later. We used to work together (which is how we officially met). We even met before we knew who each other were. He remembers me back in high school, and I faguely remember him, but we didn't get to know each other until Christmas of my sophomore year.
I just want to know what's going on. I want to know if we are meant to be together, or if this is just a 'thing' or whatever. I want to know if this is the one guy for me, or if I'm obsessing over something not worthwhile. I just need some answers! | | |
