Heya guys.

Remember me? *ding ding*

Well doesn't look like much going here except for the fact that I've been a busy beaver running around. LOL Can you imagine me with three books and a lap top? LMAO. I can't either. These books aren't light though, they're a little flimsy, but they're not light. Since it was hot, it made the bottom part of my arm sweat. o-O It was kinda gross. Gah, the weather over here is blazing. The sun doesn't refuse to shine. It's 101 degrees in the afternoon. Seriously, ew.

Other than that, last Friday, I went dancing with a couple of my friends. Danced the night away. I got lucky. :D No one grabbed my butt. *makes a nerdy laugh* Get it? Yea.. only I got that. o-O They played a Britney Spears song in the club and I'm like "Oooooh maaan.." :D Club hopped for most of the night to like 3 and then went home, showered, and hit the bed. Planning on going out again on Friday or Saturday, depending on my mood. Probably going to take Brian along because he needs his life back. All I see out in the living room are all of his books and his laptop. None of mine. Nooo.. i work in the dining table. We live in 400 sq. ft something something like that, give or take a few, of space and all of his books consume the living area... think about it. SCHOOL. COLLEGE. UNIVERSITY. LIFE SUCKS.

Love y'all. :D

One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind how great you are.

Comments are going to be screened so none of you will know if I'm uber-popular who gets over 100 comments on this or a total loser who doesn't get any.

;)

Long time since I've added an entry, huh? Well, maybe not a long time, but it's still somewhere around there.

Besides the ongoing personal problems between me and Brian that some of you might know about, there hasn't been anything really BIG since with the exception of this morning. I dunnoe. Boys suck. o-O 'nuff said about that.

I get back to the days in school in a few days. My dad has been nagging me to take an extra class. Yea. Right. I forgot how living with your parents was so.. stressful.

I saw some guy's stuff on the side of the road because he didn't pay like 3 months rent. I thought that was pretty sad. :( Basically, if you don't pay your rent after x months then they'll personally go into your apartment and remove everything inside of it and throw it out on the street for people to rummage through. I saw some lady while I was stopped at a light picking up a chair and putting it into the back of her truck. I thought it was kinda funny.

My mom's birthday was yesterday. She turned 44. :D She says she doesn't want a "party", but she knows that in the back of her head we're planning something. I called her the morning of the 21st and wished her a very happy birthday. Of course, she asked me if I was planning something and of course I said no. I'm just cool like that. Since then, I've made a lot of phone calls from one place to another place, from one family member to another. My sister is coming back up to Dallas again since the 4th. Mother doesn't know so we're all keeping it on the DL. LOL 30 minutes.

Other than that, I'm trying to stop my depency on coffee/caffeine. :p It's probably not going to happen, but in my head, it's definately going to be a success! XD

I had a really big craving for ice cream, chips, and pickles. I really don't know where it came from, but when I went on lunch, got Dill Pickle flavored Lays and vanilla ice cream, and dipped the chips in the ice cream. Best thing I've had in like forever as a snack. It's like ice cream with french fries, oreos and peanut butter, pepper and ketchup, Hot Cheetos wrapped in pieces of bread, etc.

Annnd.. I have another that I'll do later. :$

Anyways, I have to pay $175 for running a fricken red light. My dad called me the night I got it and he's like "Blah blah.. how could you be so careless?" Typical. :p He then told me to keep the ticket because he says that they might be a lawsuit against the city for the cameras. I might get money out of it. I swear, Dallas is so fucked up when it comes to things like this. I don't live smack dab in the middle of Dallas, but in a suburb, which makes it a little better. LOL

ETA:

Oh, oh! Last night, I went to the movies with Brian. Yea, with the kind of anger that I had towards him, it was amazing I could sit next to him for 130 minutes during a movie. We saw Fantastic Four and passed on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Dark Water. I really didn't like how Jessica Alba acted in it. It seemed like amature-ish. I dunnoe, they could have found someone better for the part, IMO. She looked pretty good in it though. :p Chris Evans.. goodness. Loved him. He stole a lot of the scenes, which I loved. Not a bad movie, but it wasn't great. It was good for a little bit of a break from all the Tom-Katie deals.

Hasn't anyone heard of Kaci Brown? She's an up-and-coming artist with a song called "Unbelievable". It's a little pop-ish, but it's pretty good. I thought it was Mandy Moore, but Kaci's voice seems to have a wider range than Mandy's.

Awww man.. life sucks. I got a ticket. :(

Apparently, I ran a red light and they had those cameras that flash when someone runs it. I pick up the mail, come into the apartment, eat something, come onto the computer to check mail. I was feelin' pretty spiffy until I go to put the plate away and open up mail and lone and behold... there's that dreaded piece of paper that makes you feel all gushy inside from the city. *sigh* This is exactly how it felt like everytime I got my report car.

They have a of picture of the back of my car and license plate on it, too. I called Brian and he laughed. I called my mom and she laughed. I won't even dare call my dad. This just ruins my whole day. I guess you can imagine my facial expression as I skimmed the thing.

Now I'm grumpy and I have to go back to work.

( Stolen from T )

Anyways.. I got the new Lifehouse CD from Wal-Mart. I was going to get it from FYE, but it was 15.99 and at Wal-Mart it was like 12.88. BIG difference. :p I actually like the album. The first song "Come Back Down" really drew me in. I high recommend it for anyone who likes music with a little bit of rock and pop and hot lead singers. :p

Me and Brian have been renting a lot of movies lately. Mostly for entertainment and boredom with reruns of shows and laziness to go out. :p

Taking Lives: Awww dude. The movie wasn't half that bad. There was a twist, but you kinda anticipated it in a way. o-O Ethan Hawke as James Costa was pretty hot in it until he turned all serial on you and you're like "Holy shit.. what happened." He decapitated his own mother for God's sake. :p The sex in the movie was pretty hot too. LMAO. Kidding. It was really close to porn. :/

Hide and Seek: Oh God, this movie sucked. o_O It's your typical psychological thriller. Charlie... and Dakota Fanning. She actually looked better in this movie than she did in WotW even though she looked dead and kinda of crazy. I like the brown hair. Robert DeNiro really slipped in this one. I dunnoe what the hell he was thinking when he wanted to make a movie like this.

The Village: WTF? The stupidest ending and twist. Never again.

Wicker Park: I actually really liked this movie. Josh, Diane, and Rose were pretty well rounded characters. The ending was a little slow, but romantic in a way. I didn't know that Jessica Pare (the girl in Jsck and Bobby) was in the movie. She played the fiance of Josh's character Matt. Basically, in the beginning of the movie, Matt thinks he sees his old girlfriend, Lisa (Diane Krueger) coming out of a phonebooth in a restraunt and thinks "OMG, did I just see what I thought I saw?" so he goes on this hunt to find her and finally finds out where she lives and that's where "Lisa" (Rose) comes in. It's all really twisted. The storyline is broken up into pieces to kind of throw you off. But man, when I found out who "Lisa" really was, I was like "the god damn bitch. How selfish." Not too shabby.

Alright, so obviously we've been into the psychological thrillers and what not for a little bit, but those things make you think. You think it's this thing, but that doesn't make sense, etc.

New one, guys. Yea, I like it. :p Not the most appealing, but I the guy.

Got the pic from lost-media. And the brushes are from various resources. *nod*

Anyways, I watched Saw in it's full entirety today. :/ Creepy shit there. Basically, it's about these group of people who take their life for granted. There's this one girl who is like addicted to drugs and her mouth is like attatched to this thing where if she opens her mouth, the thing will snap her jaw open. It's like a reverse bear trap if you will. I think she got out, but I left the room. :p Let's see... the movie is a really twisted story. There are like so many twists in the story that it's hard to keep up with it. The end of it was like "OMG. WTF?" You think the killer is this guy, but then the killer is supposed to be him, but he killed that guy, so what happened? All I know was that the ending was this gigantic twist. Poor Adam. :( The two guys, though, Adam and Lawrence, seemed gay. Adam is like "Don't leave me! I need you!" And Lawrence has a wife and daughter and and... he was cheating on her with some Asian chick. They're all so connected is some weirdish 6-degree way. God, I hate for my life to end up like that. These two guys are stuck in a room together with some random "dead guy" in the middle of them, who seems to have shot himself. So, by 6 PM, one of them needs to kill the other. I dunnoe.. the ending was pretty twisted (as in "OMG. WTF?") and it leaves so much room for interpretation. Creepy movie. It's not as gory as some people might think, but some guy really does saw his leg off. Someone also told me that the director did the whole thing in 2 days. Pretty awesome.

Who would know that furniture shopping would be so stressful. It's all so confusing. Danish, Mahoghany, wood, brown, striped, purple, black, white, steel, etc. Holy shit. :/ My parents want new furniture in the house so they invited me along just to see what it would be like. I didn't think that it would be so hard and fussy. All they talked about were bedding and couches and chaise lounges and.. my head hurts. I'm not going furniture shopping any time soon. My dad said he wants a more contemporary look in the house now and I really didn't care. As long as the house looks good, then it's fine by me. Gah.

Wow.. been gone for awhile there. I went to the movies recently. Uh huh.. yea.

War of the Worlds: There was too much hype about this movie. It wasn't that great. The effects and what not were awesome, but the end of the storyline sucked ass. They kind of rushed to the ending. o-O Dakota Fanning was annoying, too. "Is it them?! Is it them?! Ahhhhh!" WTF? Let your dad drive the damn van. There are so many plot holes in the story that I'm just going to let it go. Not Steven's best work, IMO.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith: I actually liked this movie for all it was worth. Brad and Angelina were hot in it. They had chemistry, they had everything. Literally, their characters each made $400,000 a year. That's screwed up. It had some comedy, too, which I love in a movie like this. And Adam Brody was in it, too. Awww.. he's sweet. The end of the movie was quite amusing as well.

Bewitched: Meh. Not a great movie. It sucked, actually. I dunnoe why we decided to watch it, but we did. The storyline sucked, the characters could have been done better, etc. Nicole was adorable in it though.

Batman Begins: AWESOME movie. The best of the Batman series, IMO. Christian Bale is not too bad looking, but they could have done better. Katie Holmes could have been recast with someone better. It was hard trying to get her into character. I kept on seeing Tom next to her. o_O anyways, the storyline was great. It's not all about fighting. It tells the story of how he came to be who he was. Morgan Freeman was in it, too, which surprised me. LOL

Anything other than that, I went bowling for the first time.. like ever. o-O I didn't lose, but I didn't win either. It was a good game for my first time. Three strikes in one game. :D I'm pretty happy about that, but they told me that your first time is usually really good. :/ So what's my second time going to be like? Gutter balls? I'll be going bowling a lot more often.

What else... spent 4th of July with my parents, friends, and family. Nothing too exciting there. Just a lot of people at the house. Me and Brian stayed at the my parents house and my sister came home from College Station for a couple of weeks. Fireworks, carnivals, etc. Nothing too bad.

So who caught Empire? It premeired after Bush's address, but still the same. It wsa okay, but dragged a little bit. Too much history for my taste, but the overall storyline seems a'ight. Tyrannus was pretty good looking for a middle aged guy. :p It's like Matthew Fox except older. I found Octavius to be petty and pathetic. All he did in the episode was complain and he thought he could fix everything. Whatever. o-O I'll catch it next week.

Because we were watching Empire, I missed Real World: Austin. Brian was flipping through channels and we stopped at MTV and caught RW. Seems like Melinda broke up with her boyfriend and cried over it. I really don't see why she was crying because she said she wanted some ass when she got to Austin. Weird-o.

I've been working with a lot of textures lately because I've been avoiding work so I've been making icons. I dunnoe, they had me interested for a bit, and I was going through a phase of insomia. Anyone feeling generous and want to give me tips/critism? :p Yea, they're actual icons. Weird, huh? Meh.

( Clickie )

Thanks y'all.

Ahh.. I love Monday nights. :p Another night planned out perfectly. LMAO. God, they just make it easy for everyone to come home and just chill and watch TV.

The Scholar: Alright, so the "Admissions showdown" was about history. I got most of the questions right. I mean "Who wrote Common Sense"? OMFG. Whoever doesn't know AND was born here, shoulda paid attention in history class. I say that I hated history, but my teachers said I did pretty damn well in it. AP World History, AP U.S. History and all that shiz. Some of it was interesting, but fuck it. Most of it was boring. Give me English over history anyday. On the show, they did this thing where you had to make a short film over a quote that you pick out of three. I really liked the one the Gold team did. It was kinda sad. And yea.. true it was like a love letter to Liz from the team leader or whatever. But hey, they won. And OMFG! :o They got a fucking trip to Europe. 20 effing days around Europe. Amersterdam, Paris, London. God, they are trying to kill me right now. I was so gonna cry when they mentioned all that. Dammit.

Hell's Kitchen: Crappy show today. Boring.

To Hell and Back: The Inferno 2: God, the Inferno 2 is like the best show for RW/RR yet. There was so much drama going on in there. And it's true that Beth's eyebrows didn't move. That's a little freaky. o-O Tonya.. god I hate Tonya. I think she was the one that wanted that attention. It wasn't Rachel, Veronica, or Tina. Tonya brought that shit up herself. I wanted the good guys to win and they did. The bad asses thought they could have won with TINA on their ass? Hell, they should have eliminated Tina because they were holding their team back. If Tonya hadn't gotten those boobs, hey, maybe they would have won. But oh well. :D God, I love reality TV shows.

AS for the Brian situation. Yea, he slept on the couch last night. I wasn't going to bother him about it because he needed to have a while to chill. He didn't talk to me in the morning so..., but he came home and apologized and that's that. Poor guy. :p He didn't deserve that. I HAVE to admit though, it was pretty funny. He didn't explain to me what had happened, but I called on of the guys and they said it was over some claim over gym equipment or some petty shit like that. LMFAO. Ah dude, that's effing life. :p

Dude, you know Brian came home with like a cut under his eye? o_O Scared me shitless. Apparently, there was a small fight somewhere outback at where he works. Normally, that's not a bad place to work. The gym, for god's sake. Anyways, he was one of the guys to break it up and some guy hit him in the eye with his elbow. Bad timing, I guess. It's not a rather large cut, but it's enough to go up and ask him who he got into a fight with. Poor guy. I cleansed it and put a bandage on it and he should be fine. I just thought it was amusing that he was kicking and screaming saying that it stung and it hurt and blah blah blah. Baby.

Anyways, so I went back to work for a few hours. Nothing really seemed to change over in that department. My desk was a little messy. The district manager seems to want an explaination as to why I took a week off without 1-week notice. Umm.. emergency. o-O He also wants me to hire more people, which I thought was go the employment managers, but they told me I had to pick out so and so applications to get reviewed, which I thought was b fucking s. There's like 30 applications I have to go through by Wednesday. For some ODD reason, they're dated to the beginning of June and it failed to come upon me until today. XD oh joy! Other than that, it's all been a pretty nice and tidy over there. AMs seem to be doing what they need to be doing and the others are there to make money. Lazy asses.

As for FGB/ADA/Phoebe/Mags shit, not really worth my time to be typing about it or worth your time to be reading about it. It's all overkill and it's old. People who are older than me act as if they were children. And people who are barely younger than me act their age. Typical. Who cares. :D

Love y'all.

Alright, here's the story. On Saturday, that wedding I was supposed to go to, yea? Well we made it there, late no less. I had to get dressed in the back of Brian's SUV, too. All the things I sacrifice to make it to a wedding. *rolls eyes* Anyways, it didn't even start until like noon so we were waiting under the sun until they finally allowed us to sit under umbrellas. It was BLISTERING hot outside so we were all sweating and swatting flies out of the way. It wsa nasty, but it was romantic at the same time. Around the middle of the ceremony, I started getting pain in my back and lower abdominal area. I don't know what caused it, but it happened. After the ceremony, my back was killing me because I had to sit up straight to look... you know, proper.

Blah blah blah... we went to the reception and went home earlier than everyone else because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I tried to sleep it off, but I started to cry while I was sleeping because not only was my back and stomach hurting, but my arm started to hurt, too. The arm was least of my worries because I slapped on some Bengay and tried to get to sleep again. In the early morning hours, my stomach was just in total pain and I thought it was cramps. They were hellish cramps though, but he took me to the emergency room. They took x-rays, pregnancy tests, etc. Nothing looked wrong, so they told me to go home and visit my doctor.

Next day, I went and then he told me something about pressure and cartlidge and what have you and told me to take meds "take it easy for a couple of weeks". Then he told me to wear a back brace during the day (total BS) and try not to sit up and stand up for any prolonged period of time so I stayed in bed or on the couch most of the week. It gradually got better after a couple of days, but there was still pain. There's still pain, only it's isolated to my back so when I stand up, I need to stand up slowly. :p

Anyways, no big deal. I visited him again on Friday and he told me that there wasn't really anything wrong with me. Stupid. That was my week, though I did catch up on a lot of stuff while I was "out". I saw Britney Spears' new video "Someday", which was okay. She got fat and her boobs, OMG. LOL Anything other than that isn't even remotely interesting, IMO. Just a lot of shows.

Oh! I saw Real World: Austin. It was a re-run but still the same. That poor guy.. Danny or something? He's hot, but poor guy. I was sitting there say "Oh yea.. that's how Texans duke it out." Seriously though, there's a lot of brawls down here in bars and shiz. Though they're all particularly in the downtown area. Great ep. Johanna is effing annoying, her accent. Bleh. So is that other girl who's a virgin or whater. AND so is Rachel? Well, that soldier. EVERY chance she gets, she tries to mention that she was a soldier. Ok, we get the point, you were a soldier in Iraq, alright, we get it. Wes is.. ugly. He looks like Abe, but Abe's cute. o_O Nehemiah is cool. :D Melinda is a'ight.

Made the layout during the week while I was away for a bit. I couldn't really sit up for more than 20 minutes at a time, so I decided to make somewhat of a layout. It's not like "OMG, that's BRILLIANT!", but it works out, yea?

Pictures come from evangeline-lilly.net and the brush on the icon from inxsomniax. With Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox from Lost. The guy never seems to bring down his hotness. Whoo!

Dunnoe what else to say. :p I'll tell about my week a little later. Apparently there's nothing wrong with me. o_O
