~*~*catch my wave*~*~

I was not ever married. Or divorced for that matter. But Jon and I had an epic Facebook battle "breakup" that has caused for intense questioning from quite a few friends. Just wanted to clear that up. I am NOT MARRIED. Or have a boyfriend even. hmph.

So Thanksgiving is kinda sorta coming up soon and I will be flying home. I look forward to hopping in my mom's little Red CRV and visiting friends. Also, FOOD. Food is good.

This semester is trying to rape me. And I've been fighting back. Resisting it's perpetual wrath on my social life by
a) Realizing when I need to take a break(like right this moment)
b) Going to get help when I need it
c) Coffee and Red Bull(and crack)......(not really)
d) Making friends with people in my classes. The people who stay late in the Journalism Mac lab and I have become such buddies. Along with the lab techs.
e) Laughing at my friends, laughing at myself, laughing at stupid people, laughing at life
d) Eric Clapton music
e) Adventures of the epic kind
f) Managing my time :)

Due to stress, I've started using a whole new strand of cursing, so be ready for that.

Today, I was on a quest for some things. And I was 120% successful!

Backpack
New tennies because my pink Vans finally wore out(fyi I am now, with the help of my mom, an owner of a pair of Pumas and I feel almost as classy as Lenel)
Jewelry tree for mah earrings and rings n shit
2 bras


woo!

So I didn't get RA. There's a chance a spot could open in the summer but I'm not gonna count on it. Moving on...



Apartment, CHECK.

Summer Journalism classes, CHECK.

Fall classes, CHECK.

Done with pre-major and on to official Advertising Major next Spring, CHECK.

VACATION IN A MONTH, CHECK!



I'm very pleased with this.

There's so many things hanging over my head. If I wasn't hyper organizational I think I woulda been freakin out by now.


RA interviews,I passed Paper Cut and Phase I, now I wait for a call from hall directors to set up an in-hall interview *crosses fingers*

Another RA interview tomorrow separate from general Housing

Studying for TWO tests I have this week

Trying to not let social drama get to me, not that I have much time

Advising appointment on Friday

Probably CHANGING my major

Figuring out WHAT I'm going to take this summer and in the fall if I change my major

WHERE am I going to live this summer

WHERE am I going to live IF I'm not offered an RA job in the fall

Studying for the Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation exam to get into upper-level journalism classes I don't know if I'll have to take at this moment

On top of regular schoolwork every day I barely have a social life. Hardly see anyone anymore. That's how it goes sometimes I guess.



I CAN DO IT. I just find myself taking a step back sometimes and being like...WHOA.

It's almost over. I didn't do anything too exciting but it's been nice.

Late nights. Facebooking. Sex and the City reruns. Going to see Taken. Lots of sleep. Slightly unhealthy diet. Pretty weather. Drives around Denton. Quiet empty dorm. Unproductivity. Trips to Walmart at midnight. Movies movies movies. Relaxing in bed. Dallas Museum of Art. Walks. Microwavables. Bowling with friends. Shopping at the mall in Frisco. ME time. Fully rested. Bagels. Slightly less things on my mind to worry about. Rock Band. Long conversations. Planning things in my head.

General enjoyment of life. Too bad it has to end.

Some people's lives suck more than mine.

Well I like it. But I may have weird taste.

So my cousin Victor is in the Coast Guard. He was stationed in Florida after he graduated from the academy last year up until this summer when he moved to Corpus Christie. We've been really excited because he's from my mom's side of the family in Illinois so we hardly ever get to see her sister's kids.

So Victor's been living at the coast since July and he's been spending a lot of time with my mom since she goes down there a lot to stay in the Rockport house. And when she's down there she's met some of his friends and they come and see her. My mom is basically aunt to three young Coast Guard men. Did I mention they have motorcycles and go riding with my dad around Wimberley and Austin occasionally?

So I talked to my dad today and apparently yesterday Victor was doing a flight test and landed in College Station. So he called my parents from there and mentioned that he would hope my parents would be there. [As in, standing outside to wave as they flew over the Wimberley area since he couldn't really give away military air routes]. And so my parents got to see them fly over real low and wave at them.

Wish I could have been there.

ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT I KNOW THAT ARE MY AGE AND GETTING MARRIED...





YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT!





That is all.

We're dating now.


We'll see how this goes.

I SO enjoy discovering new bands and I kind of felt motivated to make a list of my Top 10 new favorites. This list will be valuable in a few years when I am sitting in some huge corporate office somewhere wondering where my fun tastes have disappeared to.

10. THE FOO FIGHTERS





The one thing I don't mind having in common with my ex: THIS BAND. It's not to say that this band should be associated with him. Dave Groel is amazing live and I would definitily see them again. This is one of those bands that has managed to last throughout a good portion of my life. Good for them. They'll be a classic soon.
Favorite Songs: "Best of You", "In Your Honor", "Razor", & "DOA"

9. U2






They will always ALWAYS have a place in my heart. U2 is something my dad and I have always shared a love for. They have been a classic rock band since I was in dipers and I love them to death. This is another band that will go down in history for sure. Sidenote: Does anyone else think Bono and Robbin Williams could be stunt doubles? Maybe? Okay. It could just be me...
Favorite Songs: "One", "Beautiful Day", "Pride(In The Name of Love)", & "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

8. LINKIN PARK






I've always been a mild Linkin Park fan. By mild I mean they were around, I would hear them, and I would appreciate what I was hearing. Recently they totally owned the Alternative genre with their latest album and I am now hooked.
Favorite Songs: "What I've Done", Numb", "Krwling"(The Crawling remix = amazing), & "Shadow of the Day"

7. THE HUSH SOUND






This is the most eccentric band on my list. Not many have heard of them. All I can say is their unique instrumental sound is absolutely ADORABLE.
Favorite Songs: "We Intertwined", "Medicine Man", & "Sweet Tangerine"

6. COBRA STARSHIP






I love everything about this band; form their name, to the vocals, to their clothing style. They are the little bit of my signature choice dance-beat thrown in with a very skilled guitar. I'm gushing.
Favorite Songs: "Guilty Pleasure", "The City is at War", & OMG, ALL OF THEM?

5. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE






Okay. Here is where you tell me how EMO I am. This band looks EMO but don't be fooled. They sing about EMOtion but they are also very talented. Gerard Way's voice is one in a million and draws me into the music very easily. Props to the EMO band with skillz. Yeah I said it.
Favorite Songs: "Famous Last Words", "Helena", & "Welcome to the Black Parade"

4. PARAMORE






Did I mention how much I love a band with a solid female vocalist? I LOVE A BAND WITH A SOLID FEMALE VOCALIST. Not only that...she's a fellow redhead. :) I like this band. They are just...a GREAT band.
Favorite Songs: "CrushCrushCrush", "Hallelujah", & "Misery Business"

3. ANGELS & AIRWAVES






I fell in love with this band when I went to one of their concerts this Spring. His voice is unique which is perfect because so is their sound. They've got an almost electronic sound to them but it's still totally musical. Also, their lyrics...BRILLIANT.
Favorite Songs: "Call to Arms", "Valkyrie Missile", & "Heaven"

2. FLYLEAF






BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT. I feel so much emotion when I listen to their music. Also, I would kill for Lacey Mosley's voice. "I'm So Sick" is my favorite song to sing on Rock Band and with my car windows down, music blaring. If I was to trade lives with someone, it would be her.
Favorite Songs: "I'm So Sick", "Fully Alive", & "All Around Me"

1. GOOD CHARLOTTE










They've come a long way from the poser band they were when I was in Middle School. When they started out they had a pretty good thing going for them and now they've matured into, in my opinion, one of the BEST Alternative sounds out there. The lead singer's voice is what has me hooked. It's positively amazing. Unfortunetly, I haven't seen them live yet. SOON. I hope.
Favorite Songs: "The River", "I Don't Wanna Be In Love", & "Victoms of Love" [All of which are from the newest album. It's okay guys I'll let you put that old punk crap behind you.]


Well that's it. Boredom...sometimes leads to greatness...

My life right now is so up in the air I need five or ten different buckets to catch a single drop of an answer. Not that I mind. The fact that I started this entry with a random analogy that may or may not make sense means things are alright in Chelseaville. As usual...there are the boy issues, the torn between many places, the completely random social life, and the everchanging opinion on what I am interested in...or not interested in. Basically, my life right now is as it always has been. Minus school and drama.

I am at that "disconnect" point. I know it's only June and summer isn't even halfway through. But I have given up on my home here in Wimberley, Texas. I know this completely contradicts Lorrie's recent entry about her home and how good it felt. I feel that too. Just...not sure exactly where.

I took a quick trip to Dallas this week. I have officially driven on almost every road to nearly every suburb, destination, and traffic jam. AND I LOVE IT. I feel like I am away from home and separated from my other half...MY CITY. I know that seems kind of dramatic but words cannot describe how I feel up there my friends. Long ago I complained of the rudeness of people, the congestion, the general ick I felt for the Metroplex; but now I realize that people suck everywhere. ESPECIALLY HERE. There is no comparing Austin to Dallas to any other city. They are all different. Each has their own benefits and disappointments.

It's just that I have so many great memories in Dallas, Denton, Allen, Irving, Frisco, South Lake, North Lake, Downtown, EVERYWHERE. I thrive on variety and the falling and escalating extremes of a city. What other place has so many of those things? Even the roads are a giant mass of rollercoaster-like paths that go every direction...and each one is an adventure. I miss it SO MUCH I can't stand it. Even though I had no idea where I was going when visiting friends/relatives/significant people up there...I felt at ease. I felt totally ALIVE as I took the HUGE ramp that took me from 75S to 635W. It never stops being exciting to me.

This place where I am now has grown tired. As I drag myself from one familiar place to another that's 30 minutes away to I go to work...I don't feel like I'm living my life anymore. I'm here because it's free and there are a small handful of special people still here including my parents...who are eventually going to move the the coast anyways. I can appreciate that I will always be tied to this place for them and for the fact that I grew up here; but that's about it.

Since I've been here, I have come into contact with many people I've lived for, grown with, parted with, was challenged by, and people who have disappointed me. This leaves me with only a small small number of people I actually wish to hang on to. My heart has left this place but it's always going to be with those few. And I believe they know who they are. It sounds sad...but it's the awful truth about growing up. People come and go but in the end it's the ones that truly matter that remain. Now how many times have you heard a variation of THAT quote since leaving for college. :p

The thing is...my spirits, confidence, and faith all lifted when I came to this realization. I wouldn't say that I've changed really; just narrowed down the things that matter. I'm not sure what my next step is but for now...I have work at 1 tomorrow and I close. I get paid Friday. And that's as far as I can look without putting on my worryglasses.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?





My laptop may or may not have crashed.


is worried....

It's kinda entertaining------> http://failblog.wordpress.com/
=P

I'll start with this weekend. It was lovely. For the first time all semester I didn't have anything nagging my mind that I needed to do. Friday I did lots of nothing. Saturday I went to the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival. I wasn't expecting very much but it was HUGE. I'd say the entire thing was bigger than Market Days and it had like 4 stages and was actually pretty cool. I went with three of my gays: Johnny, Quinton, and Scott. I just met Scott that day...but we bonded. So good times had by all. =)

Later when we got back, we took some blankets over to Maple Park on campus and laid under the trees and it got dark and a little chilly so we held hands to keep warm. One of my best Saturday nights of the semester.

Yesterday was more nothing except some of our friends came back that had gone home for the weekend so Thomas and I hung out with them. BrawlBrawlBrawl.....I didn't even do too bad! Though Pikachu and I did lose first but whatev.


Anyways. Today I was appointed CHA Historian. They called me into the meeting to see if I wanted to accept the position and I said yes. It just means that I take pictures of the events and programs and stuff and I also make the huge calender that's by the front desk. So I'm pretty excited about this because the HD told me I could be "as involved as I want to" and I also get to move in early. I don't get the discount on Housing but, it'll still be a lot of fun. This position fits me better I think anyway. Also, I get to hang out with the cool people behind the front desk! :O

Basically. College has not changed the fact that I'm a big dork...
