Ants, eat my Staff!!!

Bleh, i'm grumpy. My Benedryl and other night meds didn't wear off in time for my Trig class this morning so i went to class so drugged up. I was so tired...i fell asleep in the middle of class. That is a first for me. I have not fallen asleep in college once, until today. Damn you stupid night time meds! My sinuses are dissagreeing with me, and it really sucks. So, i'm grumpy today. I'm very grumpy. I really don't feel like talking to anybody or the world for that matter. I would like to have some solitude, but unfortunately i have built up my life in such a way that i cannot have that luxury. BLEH it all!!!

Get this: this was in the Daily Toreador today..."---name---, a senior phycology major, and ---another name---, a junior management major, said they witnessed afew explosions from thier location on Interstate 27. 'We were leaving campus and saw the smoke in the air,' ---name--- said. 'We saw a huge cloud of smoke and decided to drive towards it'... (it goes on to quote)... 'We saw acouple of explosions, but we were waiting to see if one of the bigger tanks exploded,' ---name--- said. 'That was probally not a good idea'." My commentary, no boys...it was not a good idea...lets drive TOWARDS a huge chemical explosion! Lubbock never ceases to amaze me, or depress me...whichever comes first.

Well, its time for my Poli Sci test...so i gtg! *huggles*

Beautiful Austin

well, i'm posting this really quickly before my Art History Survey class.

My trip to and from Austin was so much fun. The ride down there was good, it was nice to get out of Lubbock for a change. I haven't been out of Lubbock since Christmas holiday and it was killing me. I'm used to leaving lubbock at least once ever two weeks or something like that, but plans continued to crash on me. Derek and I met up with some of his friends on Friday night when we hit his house. He lives in a beautiful secluded area. There is a valley behind his house and hills and trees everywhere. I was so jealous! His parents are so incredibly nice too. They seem to like me. All his friends and pretty much his parents said too that i'm the most normal girl he has ever dated. *laughs* Thats really funny considering that me, normal? nice. At least i don't have mental issues like some other people, at least i don't think i have mental issues. I could be fooling myself though. *laughs* Anywho, i met one of Derek's really good friends of all time and she is such a sweetheart! I loved her to death...such a talented artist and a lucky bastard at the same time. She is going to go sailing with her familly for 7 years around the world. How do i envy her. I would love to travel like that...just get up and go. That would be absolutely amazing! *nods*

Saturday we met up with Amanda at the mall. And we had a wonderful time. My inverse lesbian lover and i chatted for hours and hours. Derek said that he learned more about me then than all the time combind-ed that we have spent together. "I know how to learn things about you now, get you infront of one of your good friends and listen." So true, so very true. There was a Rison scare at the UT campus so we made sure when we took Amanda back to campus that she would be ok. I love that girl. It was so nice to see her again, and she and i are SO hanging out again over the Spring Break! *dances* Derek may come down too...he should. That night we went to a bar named Momo and heard the band, The Hero Factor. Absolutely amazing band. Very very very good. I totally recomend it to anybody...look them up on myspace. They also sorta taught us that we have to up our playing skillage for our band. It will so happen, i'm excited.

Sunday we lounged around and then headed back to Lubbock...the bane of both of our existances. We both made fun of Lubbock so much on the way back. We also listened to Elton John. *grins* my happy place! I was singing along to alot of the songs and Derek decided that i'm going to become the head singer for our band. I laughed at him, because i can't sing! *laughs* I'm going to play flute, learn how to play piano, and sing? Ok...whatever. We have to get a band together anyways first. We are short half the instrumentation. Mr. Medley, my flute instructor from back home and a Tech Grad., said that he would help me on a crash course of composition and stylization and add-libbing. Just like the old days, we joked.

Anywho, I stayed the night at Derek's place again, which was sorta funny. One of his housemates had a buddy over and they were studying while Derek and I were "playing" in the other room. I think they were thinking that we were having sex...and actually we weren't. *grins* Yes, i have my reasons and they are staying with myself. But Derek did say that he is starting to figure me out...he said that i'm not that complicated after all. I told him that i'm not...its just that my life is complicated, but personal self is not. It took him that long to figure that out? Okies!

I'm going to cook for him on Thursday: raman and a salad. The boy needs to eat more greens and fruit. Then he wants to cook for me over the weekend. I said that would be fine. Then after next week I am outta here...and back into the Bubble! SPRING BREAK BABY! I can't wait to go home, and acutally be able to drive myself around! *nods*

Well, class starts in 15 min. and i need to do abit more clean-up work before i go...so this is the end of this entry. *huggles* Joey, please be careful when you go on tour. I'll pray for you, take pictures and have the time of your life! *nods* I'll miss you emensuly and i can't wait until you come to lubbock to visit, or when we go to the ren fest! *nods* *huggles* dear!

Summer Jobs?

Well, again my life is a turbulant soap opera.

I have been interviewing all week for a job with The Southwestern Company for a summer job. I will be leaving the state all summer to work for them selling books and what not. The average student earns 5-8k over the summer. That is plenty for me to buy my laptop and put a downpayment on a car. I could even move into an appartment if i so choose so. Well, they interviewed around 300 Tech students and they only took around 100. I got the job, but i still had to talk to my parents about it. So, i called them last night and they flipped. My mom got so mad at me that she stopped talking to me, and dad started lecuring me. Yeah, that went over well. *sighs* Dad said that i had to sent him the link to thier website and then find someone who has already done this and see if thier parents would talk to my parents about it. Well, i have a meeting with my boss on monday, so we'll see how well i can pull that off. At first i wasn't so sure about this, but now that my parents are not happy about it, i want to do it. I want to prove to them that i can do something like this. I need to break out of my shell even more than i already have. I would be leaving the entire summer to work in the east. It will be hard and a challenge but i'm up for it...i'm so up for it. I was so upset after i got off the phone with my dad. I was almost in tears.

Anywho, so i'm going to take a road trip with Derek down to Austin for the weekend. Oh, for those who do not know, i'm sorta dating Derek. He's a sweet guy, an artist and mucisian. We are dabbling in the idea of starting a band. Our relationship is very tentative right now...mostly its my fault...i'm emotionally detached. The funny thing is, i was talking to Joey about it the other day and he said he was the exact same way since me, too. I found that very interesting. We both have shut ourselves down since dating eachother. That really shows how intence we were and in some ways still are, though we are developing a great friendship of sorts. Anywho, yeah, going down to Austin with Derek to get out of Lubbock. I am also going to see my Inverse Lesbian Lover: Amanda. *laughs* no, we aren't lesbian...we are just such close and good friends that if we were, we so would be dating. Sorta like Joey and Seth...if seth was a girl...joey would be all over him/her. *laughs*

There are some other options open for me for the summer. Derek is staying in Lubbock so i'm not too worried about anything there. Anywho, Joey wants me to tour with him or at least go to many of his concerts this summer. I want to go. I think it would be amazing and fun. And then, if i decide to duel major in Art and English i should take summer school courses and work too...back in SL. Who knows...after my parents cool down i'm going to ask them about my major stuff.

Okies, i'm going to grab something to eat and finish packing. *nods* I'll write when i get back. I'm going to be swamped with school work there and back. Spring break is almost here! *dances*

PS: watch Knight School on ESPN @ 9:00 centeral on sunday

I AM BACK!

I am back and happy! *dances* But i am sad that i lost all my other posts...all my thoughts and whatnot. I lost alot of back history but that's ok...i guess its a good sign to start afresh and anew!

I need cough drops...my throat is really hurting. I know my sinuses are all screwed up now. Damn stupid sinus infections...i'm going to have to head to the doctor pretty soon for some MORE antibiotics. Bleh...i'm not happy about this...i feel like a walking pharmacy! *nods* Oh well.

I'm really busy right now, planning on heading down to Austin this weekend with Derek...trying to get a butt load of work done so i can have a somewhat free weekend. I'm still going to have to study hard this weekend in the car, but at least i can get alot done before hand. *shrugs* Anywho, I will talk to you all later.
