Issues

   Posted by: Jess C.   in Rants, Relationships

So, you know how I thought that year single would help me get a grip on the issues I’ve developed when it comes to relationships?

Ya, turns out that was a total and complete fail.

Apparently, removing yourself from the situation and thinking about it a lot, and coming up with logical reasons for this and that, and reassuring yourself about positive things doesn’t really help. Once you’re back in the game, it all kind of just falls apart again.

I’ve been on a couple of dates with a guy, and I really like him. The more I like him the more my brain tells me that it’s going to fail, catastrophically, and that I’m a fool for being involved. Granted, he’s in the midst of getting divorced and there is a kid involved, so I suppose the chances of it failing catastrophically could be pretty good.

However, the very drastic contrast in my emotions just doesn’t seem healthy. Most of the time I’m really happy, because I like him and he seems to really like me. Not only that, but we have a lot in common, have very similar senses of humor, and just seem to get each other all around. It’s really offsetting to me, how well we are meshing. And then I hit a low, and suddenly I’m completely paranoid that I’m being used as a rebound, that he’s probably got at least one other girl he’s pulling strings on, and that I’m stupid for even liking him as much as I do.

It’s sickening to me how uncomfortable I was just getting hugged at first. I mean, seriously, I’m scared of physical contact with a guy anymore. I’ve gotten to a decent level of comfort with him now, but still, I was unrealistically uncomfortable starting out. The weird part was, part of me felt comfortable, I didn’t think he was up to something or anything, but part of me just couldn’t deal with it.

I feel like somethings seriously wrong with my head. And I don’t know what to do about it.

Part of me just wants to call it off now, even though nothing overly serious has happened, because I don’t know if I can deal with the paranoid part of my brain. Part of me would be really depressed if I did that, because of the ‘What if’ factor. I’m just terrified of what happens if I end up letting myself get used this time.. At the end of the last relationship I was in I just fell completely apart. I’ve never fallen apart like that before.. and I’ve fallen apart a couple of times in my life!

And I don’t mean that if it doesn’t end in happily ever after I will be a mess.. I mean if it ends in him being a lying asshole I don’t think I’ll ever be able to think about dating without projectile vomiting and then curling up into a ball in a dark corner.

The word ‘dating’ makes my stomach upset enough as it is. It implies ‘attachment’ which implies that there are feelings. Feelings are easy to manipulate, and I can’t deal with being manipulated anymore.

And the terrible thing is, I’m sure he’s probably just a really wonderful guy and that he has no ulterior motives in mind. But, how many times have I thought that before?

UGH. I hate relationships. >.< And now I need a hug. Blah.

I know I’m not the only one who is paranoid like this, but it’s just so very unsettling that I had to blog about it. Woo for venting so much to very few!

3 Months Later

   Posted by: Jess C.   in Everyday Life

Oi, life is such a fast paced thing. Which is a pity for my poor blog.

I suppose I should start with the week I spent in Calgary with David, since that was where I was headed in the previous entry. I have to say, it was a very awesome week. I don’t think I’ve had that much fun in a very long time. He was a great host, and is easily the most awesome guy I know.. even if he is rather violent in his sleep! I really loved Calgary, it was a beautiful city. I could live there, and definitely would like to go back next year. His family was wonderful, I don’t think I’ve ever been treated so well as a guest. And he’s just to damn cute for his own good :P For the record, I did almost not come home. Had it not been for the job I had waiting for me, I probably would have canceled my return flight and stayed quite a while longer. But, alas, life is cruel and I can’t pass up an opportunity. So yes, I can’t wait to go back again ^_^

I’ve been working a lot lately. 40+ hours a week easy. I got a job at an Ethanol plant as the IT person, which is pretty cool. We’ve got 2 plants, and a grain and dryer facility. I do believe the papers were signed to acquire a third plant this last week. So I’m probably going to be putting in 50+ hour weeks once we get the ball rolling on trying to get it up and running ASAP.

Obviously, this means I didn’t end up decided to go to SCAD. That made me very sad, actually. But, maybe later I’ll end up there. The cool thing is when I do decide to go for my BA the company will help pay for it, so, ya. Can’t complain.

Hit the ‘Single for a year’ mark back in July. I did go out on one date in that year, and had a bit of make out time with the guy. But it just didn’t end up working. So, yes, I successfully made it through the year ^_^ Hazzah! Of course, I’ve already got my next conquest planned out. Eric is a cutie living close to Kansas City, whom I actually used to work with at the casino. He’s very eager to take me on a date, and plans on coming to visit sometime this month. It’s cute. But, I’m not taking things to seriously. Over the last year, watching other people’s relationships, reconciling some of my passed ones, and analyzing the pros and cons of being in one at this point in my life.. they just don’t really seem worth it. Even the good ones are distracting and make a person less productive. Especially the first couple of months. If you start out really infatuated with someone your mind wanders and it’s harder to concentrate on things that need to be done. And then if there is a breakup? Dear God, my job is stressful enough without having to go through all that emotional junk on top of it.

So, I dunno. I guess we’ll just see what happens. I’m holding the whole situation at arms length. We’ve got a whole lot in common, more so then I think I’ve had with any guy, and I do like him. But he’s really going to have to wow me to get me to take anything seriously.

I’m still living at home, and I need a new car. Sadly, while I could move out on the pay that I’m getting, I really need a new car first. So, I’m saving for a down payment big enough to keep my payments at roughly $200/month, closer to $275/$300 with insurance, and then I’ll think a bout places. Though I do have a potential roommate, if she’d get herself organized enough with money management to get her out of the house.

I’m still playing with DailyBooth.com. It is still the most awesome site ever. Not so much on the YouTubing lately, though Rose (potential roomate) and I have some ideas for a show we’d like to do. It’s just a matter of getting it organized. So that might be something to see here in the future.

No real trips planned for the future. There was talk of going to Anime Iowa in the middle of this month, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen now or not. I will probably make plans to visit Eric in Kansas City if things go well enough when he takes me out. And Rose has said something about me going with her to New York at the end of the summer, which would be awesome as I really miss NYC and would love to see Ricky and Ally again ^_^

But, aside from that stuff, nothing to interesting has been going on. I’ve settled into a rather dull routine that puts me working 75%-90% of my weeks away.. like every other American.. something that I don’t really understand how people can do for 40 - 50 years of there life. It makes me ill thinking I’ll spend any more than a couple of years working this much of my life away.

My life is pretty stable and happy over all right now though, so I can’t complain. I hope you are all enjoying your lives as well :) Hopefully another entry sooner rather than later.

Denver Airport

   Posted by: Jess C.   in Everyday Life

So I’m sitting here at the Denver Airport… and I can’t help but be distracted by all the birds. Seriously, this place has more sparrows then our barn does at home. I had one fly past my head while sitting here chatting with David!

Though, it does make the airport a little more interesting..

I left from Moline, IL airport around 3PM. Firstly.. people below a certain IQ who don’t know how to use INDOOR voices shouldn’t be allowed to fly. Our flight was about 15 minutes late taking off because of this rather.. well.. hickish group that had all these issues and such. One fellow needed two seats because he was a bit overweight. That’s fine and dandy and all, but he was annoying and very loud and whiny, and his wife was just as loud and whiny.

I also got frisked on my way through airport security. I’m s tarting to wonder if I look supsicious. Last year on my way to New York, NY my bag was searched because I had ‘a large number of electronic devices’ in my bag ^^; I only have a few!

  • Laptop
  • Laptop Charger
  • Cell Phone
  • Cell Phone charger
  • MP3 player
  • MP3 player charger
  • Digital Camera
  • Digital Camera charger
  • Video Camera
  • Video Camera Charger

…so ya, I probably do look like a walking bomb ^^; But, oh well!

So, an hour or so left until my flight thinks about leaving from Denver.. Yay!

Relapse.

   Posted by: Jess C.   in Everyday Life, Friends, Internet/Web, Relationships, Travel

Tonight, I miss Tim.

It’s a troublesome feeling.

I hope it passes quickly.

I told Matt off. I doubt I’ll hear from him again soon, if ever again.

Don’t forget to hit up my DailyBooth, Cheezy has joined me in the awesomeness.. so should you!

Also, I posted a video on YouTube. My attempt and fail at a first video blog entry.

So, more of those to come eventually. When I have the energy.

Oh! I applied for my passport today! Which makes me all sorts of happy :D Can’t wait to get it! Now plane tickets are the next step.

hmm.. not much else to update on tonight. So, I’m going to shower and go to sleep, so I can go to work in the morning. Yayz~

Ja.

I’ve got my pride, and she’s got you

   Posted by: Jess C.   in Lyrics, Rants, Relationships

Best Days of Your Life” - Kellie Pickler

‘Cus I’ll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met ’til you making me cry
And it’s just too bad, you’ve already had the best days
The best days of your life

Ain’t it a shame?
A shame that every time you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You can’t think straight

And ain’t it sad?
You can’t forget about what we had
Take a look at her and do you like what you see?
Or do you wish it was me

CHORUS:
‘Cus I’ll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it’s just too bad, you’ve already had the best days
The best days of your life

And does she know?
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
I’m the… the only one

I heard about
Yeah, someone told me once, when you were out
She went a little crazy ran her mouth about me
Ain’t jealousy funny?

CHORUS
‘Cus I’ll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it’s just too bad, you’ve already had the best days
The best days of you life

…with me was a fairytale love
I was head-over-heals ’til you threw away “us”
And it’s just too bad you’ve, already had the best days
The best days of your life

I heard you’re gonna get married
Have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someone new

But, I’ve been told that a cheater
Is always a cheater
I’ve got my pride, and she’s got you

CHORUS
‘Cus I’ll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met ’til you were making me cry
And it’s just too bad, you’ve already had the best days
The best days of your life…

Of your life
Oh, oh, yeah
You’re gonna think of me
You’re gonna think of me in your life
Oh, oh, yeah
It’s a shame, it’s a shame…It’s a shame

Theme song for Matt attempting to be friendly with me again^. It’s.. unnerving.. and kind of insulting. Here’s the conversation I’m currently having with him:

Matt G: howdy partner.
Matt G: hows it goin
Havoc: not to bad
Havoc: you?
Matt G: Its a goin. jst workn.
Matt G: Stayn out of trouble?
Havoc: yup
Matt G: i cleaned out my car the other day and found the railroad tie frm when we were down by tracks
Havoc: cool, that was a while ago
Matt G: Whn i got to ft mad and cross the tracks by climax and siemens i thnk about whe we walkd thm. i dnt think it would have been tht far to walk all the way to there
Matt G: Glad u r stayn out of trouble. yea it was a bit ago. i brought it in the house
Havoc: it was a very long way to walk
Matt G: Ahh i thnk we wuld have made it. we had all ready gone a lng way. lol
Matt G: Sides if needed i would have carried you or givn u a piggy back ride.   lol   seriously tho i would
Havoc: that’s good to know, glad it didn’t come to that tho
Matt G: Ahh come on it would be fun!
Havoc: sounds like a lot of work on your part
Matt G: nah. it would be fun, no work!
Havoc: if you say so, I think you’re a little silly myself
Matt G: Always fun no work. total blast
Matt G: silly isnt too bad.
Matt G: Mayb give it a shot sometime and see wht happns…
Havoc: what? Being silly or being carried? lol
Matt G: why not both.   lol
Matt G: Nice status message by the way. good tune
Havoc: Silly I can do. But in generaly I’m pretty sure g/f’s don’t like it when their guys go carrying other girls around ; P
Havoc: it’s one of my fav songs right now
Matt G: maybe but wouldnt really worry bout tht.
Matt G: Its a good tune. got some meaning in there.
Havoc: why wouldn’t you worry about it?
Matt G: i dnt knw. cause thnk wuld be fun to walk thm and see wht all has changd if anythng.
Matt G: would u nt like to be carried?
Havoc: Eh, why would I want to be carried by an ex who’s currently in a relationship when I’ve got single guys who want my attention who’d do it?



Ok, for the benefit of any boy who has never spent a day out hiking with me. Burlington’s largest park sits on the edge of the Mississippi river, but before you get to the river there is a set of railroad tracks. These tracks run the length of the river in this area. If you should cross the fence on the trails in the park you can scale your way down to these tracks and take a lovely walk down the side of the river, cliff faces on one side and the river on the other. Of course, on occasion, you do have to scale the side of the cliff to avoid a passing train. It’s very fun, and worth the views you get.

So, it’s a tradition of mine to take boys I’m dating/interested in for a walk on these tracks. Some guys think it’s fun, some thinks it’s dull, others think it’s crazy. You get a good idea of personality doing these sorts of things and you have a lot of time to talk between rare near death experiences.

So, Matt has decided to reminice about the day I took him for this walk. To be honest, he’s the only guy who has ever walked that far with me. We walked to a plant that would have taken about 15 minutes to get to driving 55 mph. I  think we were out walking for 5 or 6 hours. It was a very good day. Of course this was back when I was still in love with him and he hadn’t proved to be a complete and total asshole who was worthy of stealing away Dave’s title.

As you can see by the way the conversation is going, he really doesn’t care how he makes his girlfriends feel when it comes to other women. Hence why I ended up completely miserable in my relationship with him.

What gets me is the randomness of it. We’ve barely talked in the last year. I’ve made not effort whatsoever to contact him. And the last two weeks he’s been chatty as hell, texting me and messaging me on Y!M. He wants to get together, go to lunch or hang out and ‘catch up’. I’d say the latest girl must be getting boring.

He’s broken my heart no less than 3 times. I’m pretty sure I’ve learned my lesson.

He hasn’t responded since I said that last bit. I’m sure his pride is hurt that I’m not still eager to be his girl.

*sigh* It’s hard. A part of me does want to see him, not because I’m still in love with him, but because I always found him entertaining as a friend. He was always funny, I liked his sense of humor a lot. But then there’s the part of me that knows that I shouldn’t, if only because he doesn’t deserve to ever see me again.

Hell, he doesn’t deserve me talking to him at all. Do you know why I talk to him? Because I want to be there in case she demolishes him emotionally. I would take great joy in that. Plus it’s fun to shoot him down when he offers dumb things like to ‘carry’ me if we go hiking.

-.- Loser. Seriously.

Am I wrong, or does this whole thing seem a bit insulting? It’s like he thinks he can fuck me over whenever he likes, because I’m some teenager hung up on him. Whether he’s in a relationship or single. Apparently, I, like him, have no morals at all.

That pisses me off more then him trying to act like things are peachy between us. The fact he doesn’t care about this girl who very obviously (from the notes she leaves him on MySpace anyway) is madly in love with him.

Rawr. I need to do homework. And I wish he’d respond to my last message. I really want to see him flounder on witty retort.

Ja~

“Fake It” - Seether

Who’s to know if your soul will fade at all,
The one you sold to fool the world.
You lost your self esteem along the way.
Yeah.

Good God, You’re coming up with reasons.
Good God, You’re dragging it out.
Good God, it’s the changing of the seasons.
I feel so raped.
SO FOLLOW ME DOWN.

And just fake it, if you’re out of direction.
Fake it, if you don’t belong here.
Fake it, if you feel like infection .
Woah, You’re such a fuckin’ hypocrite.

And you should know that the
lies won’t hide your flaws.
No sense in hiding all of yours.
You gave up on your dreams along the way.
Yeah.

Good God, You’re coming up with reasons.
Good God, You’re dragging it out.
Good God, it’s the changing of the seasons.
I feel so raped.
SO FOLLOW ME DOWN.

And just fake it, if you’re out of direction.
Fake it, if you don’t belong here.
Fake it, if you feel like infection.
Woah, You’re such a fuckin’ hypocrite.

Woah, Woah.

I can fake with the best of anyone.
I can fake with the best of ‘em all.
I can fake with the best of anyone.
I can fake it all.

Who’s to know if your soul will fade at all,
The one you sold to fool the world.
You lost your self esteem along the way.
Yeah.

Good God, You’re coming up with reasons.
Good God, You’re dragging it out.
Good God, it’s the changing of the seasons.
I feel so raped.
MAN FOLLOW ME DOWN.

And just fake it, if you’re out of direction.
Fake it, if you don’t belong here.
Fake it, if you feel like infection.
Woah, You’re such a fuckin’ hypocrite.

Fake it, if you’re out of direction.
Fake it, if you don’t belong here.
Fake it, if you feel like infection.
Woah, You’re such a fuckin’ hypocrite.

Jessie’s new theme song ^ I feel good when I listen to it. I don’t know why xD;

Wrote a new chapter for SI, which most all of you saw on Facebook. It was called Ruin, and it featured Jace killing his best friend Mathew and stealing his soul. Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed writing it. I even brought out some old photos so I could properly describe the two. *evil giggle*

Should be doing homework.. sooo much left. But my brain needs a break.

So my little boy toy got himself a girlfriend. He didn’t message me at all today (he usually asks me how I am like 5 times before nightfall ^^;) and then I saw the status change on facebook. Of course, being the lil chicken he is, he still is barely talking to me even though I told him it was cool xD I knew it was going to happen. *shakes head* Silly boi.. damn he’s a cutie though n.n

So in the last week I’ve joined Twitter, DailyBooth, and Ning. Yes I just through myself headfirst into the Web 2.0 world without thinking. So far I think Twitter is the lamest fricken idea ever xD; Kudos to the person who actually managed to make it into something people wasted time signing up for. DailyBooth, however, rocks my socks. http://www.dailybooth.com/Jess_C and Ning.. well I’ll get to Ning later as I’m still messing with it :x
Well I think that’s a substantial enough update for now. I really just wanted to post the lyrics somewhere because they were really speaking to me tonight. Here’s to a new SI chapter this week! <3

Tim Harmon IS Ruin

   Posted by: Jess C.   in Writing


zomg.. o.o;

I am bouncing as I write this.

You have absolutely no idea how excited I am!

My sister does, but that’s because she saw me physically bouncing as I explained it to her.

Silent Infinity has atrophied over the past couple of years while I’ve been busy and not had any new ideas.. I’ve focused on plot holes that I never could seem to mend..

But..

I just mended one..

And it’s one of the biggest ones I’ve been dealing with..

And it’s all thanks to knowing a guy named Tim Harmon o.o;

Damn him. He goes and breaks my heart and fucks up our friendship.. and then, suddenly, he hits me on the head like some sadistic muse.

He has no idea x D

It’s always so funny how the best stuff comes from the more traumatic experiences in our lives <3

Anyway! The short of the long is, that Tim’s alias online generally contains the word ‘ruin’ which fits nicely into my villian naming convention in Silent Infinity. And, since I’ve always thought of Tim as an interesting character (even if he is GOD AWFUL at being a decent human being), I was kind of trying to figure out how to fit Ruin into the ranks of my villains.

This isn’t normal for me.. usually I yank out characters that I’ve based on exes.. here I’m actually trying to put an ex into the existing storyline..

The thing you have to know about Tim is.. he’s always reminded me an insane amount of Witty. His ‘psycho’ grin is dead on for Witty’s, and he’s clever and pretty much as much of a showman as Witty is. So, needless to say, fitting in a character that was like Witty, without, well being obviously a doppelganger was tripping me up somewhat.

Then it clicked.

Since Witty is really just an illusion put up by Jace to hide from his ex-cohorts in the Fallen.. who was Jace when he was STILL in the Fallen?

He was RUIN!

ZOMG! I know, right!? ^______^

So, in shortness, Ruin is Jace when he was the leader of the Fallen. Back when he was a soul stealing, city burning, monster. He organized the destruction of Zendel with the help of Magola (Rein’s older brother) who was, at the time his right hand man. He also gained much of his power from stealing the souls of people just before he killed them. He grew up lonely, helpless and misunderstood on the streets of Isis, and took it out on the world for years as Ruin.

Then, of course, he realized what he was doing.

Like any good anti-hero.

And thus created Witty, and ran away to hide and try to redeem himself.

And the rest, well, if you’ve ever RPed with me when I’ve done Witty then you know how he is. X P

So, yes..

Now Jace has curly hair.. clever eyes… and a fiendish grin.

He is complete, and I can honestly say at this very moment, I don’t hate Tim Harmon. He has officially become a figment of my imagination, a character that has destroyed a powerful city, slaughtered thousands, turned brother against sister, and stolen the souls of the people closest to him.. and knows he can never fully redeem himself, no matter what he does, or for how long he does it.

So, cheers to Tim Harmon, who has suddenly warped my favorite character into demented perfection. The malice I felt for you has been replaced with sheer amusement, for I have changed you from a man who can hurt me to a character whose destiny I control.

And, yes, I did have to refrain from calling him and going ‘OMG! YOU ARE FUCKING WITTY PHANTOM!’

Though, I’m sure that would have been HILARIOUS and his mind would have promptly imploded at the sound of sheer giddy in my voice.

Once again, none of you have any idea how giddy I am @_@ Seriously, I’ve been working on the finishing touches of Jace since I created him 6 years ago.. and now I have him. And he’s perfect.

..and I’m running on very little sleep.. so that helps too ^____^

So, yes, long enough post about that.

Also, Luke is GOD because he reminded me that Gmail saves EVERYTHING..

And thus my Fractured Fantasy Forum posts have all been recovered <3!

They shall be going up somewhere for the world to read..

Night all! Much love! ^^ <3

I Don’t Want To Be In Love” - Good Charlotte

She’s going out to forget they were together
All that time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see if there’s more
than he gave she’s looking for

He calls her up
He’s trippin on the phone now
He doesn’t want her out there
And alone now
He knows she’s movin it
Knows she’s using it
Now he’s losing it
She don’t care

Everybody put up your hands
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you’ve got nothing left
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Break it up now
You’ve got a reason to live
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love

He was always giving her attention
Looking hard to find the things she mentioned
He was dedicated
By most suckers hated
That girl was fine
But she didn’t appreciate him

She calls him up
She’s tripping on the phone now
He had to get up
And he ain’t comin home now
He’s tryin’ to forget her
That’s how we come with her
When he first met her
When they first got together

Everybody put up your hands
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you’ve got nothing left
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
back it up now
You got a reason to live
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love

to the beat
to the beat
to the beat

You got nothing to lose
Don’t be afraid to get down

We break up
It’s something that we do now
Everyone has got to do it sometime
It’s okay,let it go
Get out there and find someone

It’s too late to be trippin’ on the phone here
Get off the wire
You knew everything was good here
Stop what you’re doin’
You don’t wanna ruin
The chance that you’ve got to
find a new one

Everybody put up your hands
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
feel the beat now
If you got nothing left
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Back it up now
You got a reason to live
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love
Feelin’ good now
Don’t be afraid to get down
Say I don’t wanna be in love
I don’t wanna be in love

Nooo…Noooo

Now you know what to do, so come on feelin’ good

So instead of celebrating this holiday the traditional way, I’m having a party at Pizza Hut for everyone who wants to come. I think there’s going to be roughly a hand full of people who show up. It should be a lot of fun ^^ Cary can’t come, since he has to work, so no teasing my 18 year old tonight :x Sadly, he gained ground in the game I’ve been playing. He talked to Ginger (my sis) and finally came to a more solidified conclusion that I like him. So, it has been admitted that I do, in fact, like the 18 year old I’ve been playing mind games with. However, I’m still keeping him at arms length relationship wise.

Talks are scheduled for the near future. I may have myself tangled into another relationship before the end of this week. I will say, if it does happen, it’s going to easily be one of the more interesting relationships I’ve been in. His personality is different then what I generally gravitate too. Much more outgoing, energetic, and just fun. He has charisma! It’s sexy. And he’s a hugger, both for hellos and goodbyes and I never have to initiate it. Of course the downsides are that he’s 18, pouts like a little kid when I say something that manages to hit his ego, and he avoids awkward conversations by pulling out his MP3 player. However, I currently find all these things very amusing and worth poking at. So, yes’m, a cradle robber I am! :x
Party is at 6..  It’s 4.. and I kinda want to nap >.o Bad sign.

I’ve been tossing around the idea of starting a video blog. I’ve been watching some lately and they just seem like fun. Though I’m a bit self consciouse and don’t know if I could deal with me being up on video on YouTube >.o However, it might be something I test out. Would really like to use it to document some of my upcoming trips!

I’ve also been tossing around the idea of starting a Tech blog, since I write a lot of tech articles for our newsletter. Maybe go to one of those ‘get paid to blog’ sites they are always advertising on the side of facebook? An idea anyway.

After adding the Visual Basic class From Monday morning to Wednesday evening I’m basically going non stop.. It kind of royally sucks. By Wednesday night I littlerally feel sick. Then Sunday is my ‘crash and burn’ day because the rest of the week is killer. Why did I think 9 credit hours and 36 work hours a week was a good idea? And, sadly enough, still considering getting another job. I’m thinking tutoring at the college again. Tutoring always seems to make me pretty good money.

Well I think I’m going to shut my eyes and take a quick nap before I head out. <3 you guys, hope you all find something fun to do today, romance related or not!

Ja~

Gone” - Kelly Clarkson

What you see’s not what you get
With you there’s just no measurement
No way to tell what’s real from what isn’t there
Your eyes they sparkle
That’s all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don’t care

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you’re broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn’t cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
‘Cause I’m gone
Doesn’t matter what you do
It’s what you did that’s hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I’m gone

What you see’s not what you get
What you see’s not what you get

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Oh, I’m already gone, gone, gone, gone
Already gone
I’m gone

I woke up and my brain won’t shut up so I can go back to sleep. This has been the case a lot lately. Very sucky.

Travis has invited me to go to a Navy formal next month. What this entails exactly, I have no idea as I’ve never been to any event military related. But I’ve agreed to go as his date, and I know it will be a lot of fun :) Plus it gives me an excuse to get all dressed up, which is always awesome. If I remember correctly he leaves for bootcamp sometime in March, either beginning or middle. Don’t remember exactly. I’m going to be sad to see him go, we’ve come along way since he weaseled his way back into my life in May. He’s turned out to be a very good friend, and God knows I’ve needed those lately <3

I’ve been trying to hook up with my latest conquest recently. However, we have had no luck with our conflicting schedules. He works a lot of evenings because he has classes randomly during the day. He’s a hottie, and I’m wanting him pretty much based on that. I feel a little vain lately, I haven’t had a boyfriend qualify near hot in quite a while. He’s  a metal head with long hair who’s lead guitar in a heavy metal band : x Back to my roots there, Levi was my first rockstar wanna be boyfriend. The seriously sad part is you think of guys in bands being womanizers and like English majors being the really good guys, but you know what? The guy whos treated me the best out of all of them is the wanna be rockstar. Though, Cary isn’t Levi. Cary doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing in regards to women. We’ve decided that we are going to hook up in Vegas in May and get married <3 Awesome, yes? : x Oh, and he’s 18.. and yes, I’m gettin ‘cradle robber’ comments IRL as much as some of you are giving them to me online xD; Hey, the kid has been hot since I first met him at 15 and I’ve been good, damn it! :P Besides, it seems the younger guys are always better, as they have yet to have society fuck them up to badly. The guys close to my age and older suck balls. (No offence online crew, you guys don’t suck balls <3)

Speaking of Vegas. I’m going to Las Vegas with Lindsey May 14 - 18. However, I’ve been plotting to make my trip a bit longer then that. I -was- going to see if Luke could hook up with us there, naturally he has to go to a lame college where they schedule finals on the days I’m going to be in Vegas.. so that was a fail. However! I have figured out that I can visit San Diego for a mere like $80 plane ticket. This still wouldn’t work however, because I’d be coming to see him in the midst of finals..

So, the plan as I see it is this: I buy a one way ticket to Las Vegas ($140ish) then I hop a plane on the 18th to Calgary, AB ($140ish) and stay there 4 or 5 days and chill with D-man, then I get back on a plane and head back towared San Diego ($140ish) and since Luke won’t have any finals (and hopefully won’t have left for Texas yet) I can chill with him for a few days. Then I head back to my dull life here in the midwest ($140ish) a little broke, but otherwise happy that I got to run around the West Coast and Canada. :D
My final price on plan tickets (w/ tax) was $720. of course I can’t remember the exact cost for each ticket now, but prices right now aren’t to bad at all. I think I’d take roughly two weeks off work, which would be awesome. I’m planning on getting the paper work filled out for a passport this week so I have it by May. Of course, Luke and D-man have not been informed of this plan as of yet. For this to work I kind of need to be able to shack up with them while I’m visiting, as I can’t afford to pay for a hotel while running around >.o Well, maybe I could.. but it would significantly reduce the amount of time I could stay in each location. Plus, honestly, I would feel much safer staying with guys I had never met in person before then staying in a hotel by myself ;-; That movie Taken has me all freaked out about traveling now.. good movie though : x

So, yes’m, that’s muh plan. Hope it works. Hope D-man and Luke are up for it! :D Even if Luke can’t, if D-man can I would still like to make the jaunt up to Canada to visit him. Also, Remy and I have discusses summer plans on and off as well. This might be a very good summer when it comes to us miserable internet folk finally hooking up <3 And then if things go well and Ricky is ready to move to NYC by the end of the summer, Ricky, Ally, and I will be living big city style together very soon : x Wow, so many things that could be so awesome, here’s hoping at least a couple happen!!

I have been seriously thinking of sticking around Iowa a bit longer though. I’ve never been a rush out and do things kinda girl. I mean, I talk like I am, but in the end I was think about how I could better prepare for something. And, as much as I -reallly- want to move in with Ally and Ricky this summer.. my current education level and job training won’t help me get much of a Tech position in the big city.  However, if I could chill around here for say, another 6 to 9 months after summer rolls around.. That’ll give me two years in field experience (and hopefully I’ll snag an A+ Certification in there somewhere as well) which will put me in much higher demand then I would be with a little over a years worth of experience and the AAS I currently hold.

So, we’ll see about the move. A lot of factors have to be right to make that work..

I’m up to 9 credit hours (3 classes) and working 36-40 hours a week. So this means Monday and Tuesday are 11 hour days, thanks to a 3 hour night class on both nights. Ya, I’m starting to wonder why I ever thought -that- was a good idea.. I’ll get in the swing of it eventually, hopefully soon enough to make sure I get A’s >.o

At least I feel like I’m achieving something though? I mean, I’ve got a job thanks to my current degree, and I’m going to school almost full time. So that’s a full time job + near full time classes + Student Board related stuff + Phi Theta Kappa related stuff + an active social life on weekends + attainable plans/goals for the future + currently no dead weight holding me down in the love department = a pretty stable, happy, accomplished person.

It’s rather nice, to look at your life and go “Hey… I’m actually a productive member of society!! And I’m -happy- about it!!”

Well, I should probably try to go back to sleep. Think I’m going to go bother Film Club as they are filming some scenes for their Batman Fan Film (looking pretty kickass so far) tomorrow afternoon. So, will catch you all online. Night <3
