Finals

Next week is final exam week and I'm actually kinda nervous. I'm not really sure how my portfolio for english will turn out. I really don't want to take a 150 question test in Math but I did actuall get the 20 page, 115 question review done for that in less than a day so I think that I'm pretty much as ready as I will ever be for that exam. My biology final scares me alittle. Its over the digestive system and the reproductive system. The reproductive system is cake but I don't remember much on the digestive system. Oh well. I will try my best and that's just going to have to be good enough.

Facebook

Facebook used to control my life. My boyfriend told me it was stupid and that I was so absorbed in it. Then one day he asked me how to create an account. It was like a revelation. We were both on Facebook for probably over two hours every night. I got so angry at him because for two weeks he was dissing on me for being on it all the time, and now that he was on it I wasn't allowed to diss on him.
So anyways, we both got fed up with all the drama on Facebook and now we probably log in maybe twice a week. It has given us so much free time and I'm happy. It always hurt my eyes and back to be on the computer for so long.
Well Facebook, you don't own me anymore.

Approaching Christmas

Christmas is one of the busiest shopping times of the year. I hate going shopping. Its not just the crowds or the out of stock items that piss me off, it's trying to pick out presents for the people who don't know what they want. I try to make it easier on people by just asking for little simple things. But when others just can't pull something out of their ass... thats what angers me.
My sister wants a snowboard for Christmas. I told her it was a waste of time and money. So I bought her a shirt and a poster for her wall. My dad is still saying that he is going to get her a snowboard. I think its dumb because we don't get any snow here in the winter. Plus where they live its just a flat yard. It's pointless but I guess if she is happy that is all that counts.

Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving my boyfriend, Jacob, and I decided that it was only fair if we went to my families for Thanksgiving because his family's was going to be Saturday instead of Thursday. Well his mom cooked a ton of food and then got pissed off that we left without eating any of it. I hadn't seen my dad's side of the family since Christmas last year so I was excited to see everyone again. Especially my twin cousins who just turned one. I hadn't seen them since they were born. They had gotten so big and they were running around everywhere. They were adorable.
The food was all amazing and I ate way too much. I had to unbutton my pants just to get comfortable afterwards lol. After we ate we got out board games and it was alot of fun. Until Jacob's mom called. She said it was raining back home and she wanted us to come home. So we told her that we would once we were done socializing. So we played another game or two and she called again! Bitching at us to get home now because it was sleeting really bad. We stayed for about twenty more minutes and then she called again! Jacob was fed up with it so he told her that we were leaving.
It really pissed me off! I was not done spending time with my family! I was actually having fun with them for once. So we went home and guess what?! There was about a half inch of sleet on the cars and that was it! She lied to us telling us that it was sleeting so bad and that the roads were terrible! Well it was all a bunch of bull! It made me so angry!
Just a week ago she was talking to me about how family is important, and at how when you are with them you need to make the best of it and to try to make everything better. And now here she was tearing me away from my family! It really pissed me off and so when we got home Jacob confronted her telling her that she had no right to do what she did. Well she just stared at us and turned around and walked away. While she was walking away she said, "Well I'm sorry that you were not ready to come home." Even though she apologized, the way she said it was so sarcastic and hateful and it didn't sound like she meant it at all. This all really hurt me and its just not the same between us now because I am still angry.

Four Day Weekend!

I was so glad that this past weekend was practicaly a four day weekend. I caught up on a lot of much needed sleep and I feel rejuvenated. Thursday (Veteran's Day) was exciting but it made me nervous. I have been wanting to get my ears peirced again and I finally decided that I was actually going to do it. So my boyfriend and I went to Wal-Mart to get it done. (Believe it or not Wal-Mart is actually really cheap at ear peircings.) So I picked out a blue titanium ball earring and sat down and showed the lady where I wanted it. She marked it wrong the first time so I told her again and she finally marked the right spot. Then she peirced my cartilage and I looked at it. She pierced my ear in between both of the dots she marked! So I was pissed but it still looks ok. The next day I decided that I might as well get another piercing so that they will heal at the same time. I decided that I would get it on the same ear so I could sleep on my other side. I knew the girl working the counter so I got to mark my own ear. That ring is right where I want it. Overall it was fun and my ear looks cool now.

October 22, 2010

So on October 22, 2010, my boyfriend, Jacob, and I celebrated our one year anniversary together. Its hard to believe that its been a year already. It feels like so much longer. Jacob asked me if I wanted to go out to a romantic dinner and of course I said yes. I got out of class super early that day so I went home and washed clothes and cleaned the house. Then I took a shower and shaved and became all beautiful for our date. I picked out my clothes and his clothes and after he got home from school we got dressed and we were on our way. We decided to go to Cape Guirardeau and eat at Olive Garden. It was amazing... the food was delicious and it was romantic.
Then we went to the theater and saw Jack Ass 3. It might seem kinda weird that we would go see that particular movie on a date but we both love the Jack Ass movies and we both wanted to see the new one. I have never laughed that much in my life! The movie was phenominal and we were so glad we saw it. I think its probably my favorite Jack Ass movie now.
Overall it was an awesome night. The weather was perfect and so was life.

My messed up story

First off I just want to say good job to all those who presented their songs/stories last Thursday. Also good luck to all those who are presenting tomorrow. I just want to say sorry for crying while I tried to present mine. I got up there and its like my brain and voice just stopped working. I'm not a good public speaker. I'm angry with myself because I had everything all planned out, the way I wanted to say things but my emotiions took over. So I'm going to try again and tell you about my theme song because I know I didn't make one lick of sense while I was up there.
I grew up in a Pentecostal home. For those of you who don't know what that is its basically the same as Christianity but its more strict. I had to wear full length skirts everyday of my life. I was not allowed to get any piercings, tattoos. I was not allowed to wear any jewelery, make-up, or even nail polish. I wasn't even allowed to cut my hair (after 18 years it was down to my knees and I sat on it everyday). Everywhere I went, I could hear people talking behind my back about how weird my family and I was. I hated my life and had suicidal thoughts almost everyday.
After I turned 18, I moved out and in with my boyfriend and his family. They welcomed me with open arms and they mean the world to me now. I still see my parents and they have finally accepted that I need to live my own life.

My Wonderful Saturday

So on Saturday morning, we got up at seven, took showers, made and ate breakfast by eight. Then my boyfriend, Jacob, and I loaded his two little sisters into his mother's mini van and drove from Chester to Marion, and it took us just alittle over an hour. We then drove to their uncle's house and he and his boyfriend got in the van too, and we were on our way to Ingraham. Jacob's Greatgrandmother turned 90 years old a couple of days ago, thats why we were traveling so far on that windy Saturday morning. Lots of friends and family gathered together to celebrate the birth of this 90 year old woman who still is alive and kicking! She still lives on her own and takes care of herself everyday! I felt honored to meet her because she survived what a lot of people can't... life. It was an amazing fun party and I got to meet all my boyfriend's family.
After the party some of the adults decided they wanted to out and continue to party. This meant that Jacob and I would be stuck babysitting everyone's kids since we are under age. I guess it wasn't that bad of a night. The kids were mostly quiet and off playing somehwere... allowing us some quiet time. It was all just a really nice day. It was the perfect temperature and there was a breeze. Everything was perfect for more than a half a day which is rare in my life.

Why won't things go good for me for just once?...

It seems like everything always goes wrong for me. It's really depressing and makes me want to crawl under a rock and die. First of all, I recently got a job at the Best Western Hotel here in Chester as a laundry person. I thought that it was the easiest yet the most boring job in the world. So after English 101 on Tuesday, I got a call from my boss and she tells me that I'm fired! So I asked why and she said its because I complained about the laundry room being so hot and because I complained that I only got a ten minute lunch break. I think I had a right to complain. There is no air conditioning, no fans, even no windows in this laundry room so it is blazing hot in there all the time! It can get up to 100 degrees in there! So on Wednesday, when I went to pick up my first and last paycheck, I bitched out my boss telling her that it wasn't fair that I lost my job but it didn't do one bit of good. So I'm currently thinking about calling and reporting the Best Western Hotel for unsafe working conditions but I don't know yet. So lucky me... no job... no money... nothing...

So this past weekend was Popeye Picnic here in Chester. It was pretty fun but also kinda scary. In the parade, these two little boys jumped on the back bumper of an abulance and then the ambulance got an emergency call out. Well the ambulance driver didn't know that the kids were on the back so he took off down the street and went around a curve doing like 40 mph. One boy flew off the bumper and busted his head open and is still in the hospital. The other boy only got a concussion. It was kinda scary and the ambulance driver feels really terrible but it was not his fault at all. There were some carnival rides and fair food. Johnny Rockit performed Saturday night and that was awesome.
I also found out Saturday that my infertile aunt is pregnant! We are all super shocked but very excited.

Let's see where should I start? This week was eventful but also stressful. I started my new job at the Best Western Hotel here in Chester and I have to say it is far better than working at Hardee's. The day was long and boring but at least I got paid extra for working Labor Day.
I found two kittens on the side of the road the other night. I caught one of them but the other was too scared and ran away. I named the kitten Mittens Grace because she is basically all black except for her four paws which are white and we found her next to Grace Bible Church.
My boyfriend's uncle passed away over the weekend and the funeral is Tuesday.
I got a surprise phone call from my cousin earlier tonight. He just graduated from basic training and in a couple of weeks they will be deporting him over seas to help fight. Hope he will come back home safe.

My weekend

This weekend hasn't been too bad. Friday night was the first home football game and it was with the undefeated team from last year... so nearly everyone expected us to get our butts kicked. The bleachers were packed full of people coming to cheer on their boys in the game. At the second half we were down 12 to 6. Coach Lee must have given those boys some "inspiration" back in the locker room because in the second half our boys were really on it. They really started hitting the other team hard. Going into the last quarter we were still losing but then it happened... touchdown! We won and everyone was ecstatic. It was a good night and a great game.
After sleeping in as much as possible, my boyfriend, Jacob, and I started to pack so we could go camping and enjoy the last of this beautiful weather. We got our camp site all set up by two which was way ahead of schedule so we decided to try our luck at fishing. We didn't even get any nibbles. So we went back to camp and hung out with some friends that were passing through. After a while we made a fire and started cooking supper... hamburgers, hot dogs, potatoes, and some carrots. It was delicious! Can't wait to go camping again next summer.
