I haven't written on this thing in forever!! In about a year actually. I'm one of those livejournal stalkers that reads other people's all the time but never writes anything, but this thing just seems so open, it makes me nervous writing anything personal in it.

Anyways, I'm leaving for 3 weeks in Europe in less than a week. I'm really excited and really nervous, considering I've been to Mexico once and Canada once and that is the extent of my international travel. Hopefully we'll make it to Ireland, France, and Italy, and back home in one piece. I plan on bringing back a kick-ass beret and wearing it every day of the summer. Let me know what you want me to bring you, I highly doubt it will happen but it would be interesting to see anyways. I've already had one request for the pope-mobile full of leprecheuns, which I'm pretty sure I can manage.

Au revoir!!

Well I've been back in Montgomery for 3 days now and it feels better than I thought it would. Leaving Tuscaloosa was AWFUL...I could barely drive home because of tears streaming down my face. I really don't know when I became such an emotional person but the past few weeks I cried about everything you could possibly cry about like 5 times over. I think I used to be so much tougher and more independent and able to make decisions for myself before Robby and I started dating and now I feel like I depend on him sometimes for my happiness. I think it's good that I love him that much but since being here I've decided that being semi-alone for the summer will be good for me, I think...


I worked at camp the past two days for little day groups, it was fun. I got to take 2nd graders canoeing and teach them how to make candles and how to shoot a bow and arrow which is really funny since I've never come close to hitting the target.

My little sister is graduating next week and i hope, hope, hope that she decides to come to Bama next year. That would be so much fun. We're waiting on scholarship news right now though.

Well I'm about to leave for Tuscaloosa to visit Robby and whoever else is there and to see Daniel's play tomorrow night, and then I've gotta be back in town by Sat. morning for a mother-daughter brunch. Woot!!

I've been reading more and more about everything going on in Iraq lately and all I can say is Donald Rumsfeld is an idiot and I wish a rock would fall on him.

I'm so glad my life has finally slowed down a little and I have time to see people again! And now, we only have one more week of school :( I can't wait for exams to be over because they are going to be a bitch...4 eight o'clock exams!!! Who does this stuff to me... why are you punishing me God?! Anyways, I'm going to be really really sad to leave Tuscaloosa for the summer though. It's so weird leaving a huge part of your life behind, just like, putting it on hold for 3 months. Home is so different now, I barely know most of my old friends anymore. But camp should be fun I guess, i'll get to be outside at least.

I'm watching Notting Hill right now, this is the cutest movie ever.

Robby and Justin have been working hard on their movie and you should all ask them to see it in a couple weeks when it's done. Plus, I'm making my film debut as a jogger, I'll probably win an Academy Award so it should be worth seeing.

I'm bored tonight, I really need to be studying for my Civil War and American history exams which I have at 8 and 11 on Monday, but I really don't feel like it.
Ring phone, ring damn you!! Wow that was pathetic.

Well hello hello, it's been about three months since I've written anything in this beast, but I've got some time to kill before civil war class, so it's y'alls lucky day. Life is good right now, contrary to what all the stupid drama might indicate. I'm getting a little tired of people interfering in my life with things that I can take care of myself. I really appreciate people caring about me and wanting what's best for me, but Sometimes I just need to do things my way.I don't know, this probably doesn't make any sense anyways. But anyways, otherwise my friends are the best. It makes me sad how relationships change though and you lose touch with people that have been so important to you.

Anyways, I'm having huge debates with myself on what to do this summer. Is a month in Ireland worth $4000++? I just don't know. Ok, I gotta run to clss

Soooo.....Munchies. What a dumb name, but an excellent snack food. Four great snacks in one conveniant bag!!

Yay!! Last Spanish class today FOREVER!!! I might miss it. Definitely not the class but I would really love to be good at spanish. I'm always too scared to try speaking spanish because there's so much I don't know.

I get to live in a house with a bunch of great girls next year and I'm SOOOOO excited about it!! We're gonna have lots o' fun. Dinner parties, theme parties, singing in the shower together ;) I can't wait, i wish i could move out of this damn dorm room now. Wow, I have massive amounts of christmas presents to buy, but i LOVE christmas shopping so it's mmmk. What does everyone want for christmas?!

Thanksgiving was very, um, relaxing? Boring? Family-filled? It was good, but i think i'm going to go insane over christmas break. Those five days were about my limit every two months or so, it's definitely not time for another visit. It wouldn't be thanksgiving with my family without being forced on a family hike, which i actually don't mind that much. Got lost in the woods and it got dark on us. (just to let you know, i just spelled "lost" "lossed" and had to change it. God, I amaze myself!!) Anyways, if anyone has anything fun they want to do over christmas break, keep me posted!!

Time for target!!

So it's been awhile. This weekend was crazy and not really that great, because with the kind of weeks I have I really need my weekends to be amazing. I'm about to be a loser right now and quote one of my favorite movies, lord of the rings, but lately, i've been feeling like "butter stretched over too much bread." Wow, that looks really lame now that i typed it out but it's true. It's like, I've got so much stuff on my plate right now and barely a second for myself, but along with that I've got friends and more than friends and all these people that need something from me all the time, and I'm just getting so overwhelmed. It seems like half the people I know come with lots of baggage and it's getting to be alot to handle. It's hard to be there for someone crying when half the time you just want to cry yourself. Anyways, this sounds like i'm depressed and i'm not, I'm really happy right now. I'm just overwhelmed I think. But yeah, I worked freakin' all weekend, and the time off work was less than amazing. Ok, no more whining!! Thanksgiving in almost a week!!! Yay, that is EXACTLY what I need right now...home!! Ok, I've got class now, love you guys, peace out!!

Sitting in the library between classes whoop whoop!

Just failed two tests. Or maybe just one of them.

I never go to parties, i just work all the time, (thanks josh, you're my inspiration) i'm really freakin' sick of it. Also, I think I' becoming bitchier, has anyone noticed this? I would appreciate answers to this question, but if it's gonna make me cry or something it's fine if you want to lie to me :)

Robby's out of town the whole weekend. Sad :( One part of my life which is going so well right now because I smile just thinking about him.

Everybody: call me this weekend, I miss all my friends I haven't seen in a long time, I have to work alot but I'm going out afterwards.

Went to target last night with alex, i love that girl, seriously. She's one of the only people I'm absolutely free around, even if we don't always get along.

My little sister won homecoming queen at her high school last weekend so I went home. She's my other best friend in the world and I was really proud of her, she looked so gorgeous!

Anyways, class now. Word.

josh maynard sucks because he makes me sit in the handicapped chair

Here I am, back in the land of livejournals. Haven't written anything in a really long time because my life is so amazingly busy/insane/crazy. And yet still good. Really good. Class is boring for the most part. Honestly, I've had maybe 2 classes at UA with professors I really liked that really interested me. Which is kind of sad, for me or the university, i don't know. Got a job, slaving away at Buffalo Phils. Hard work, not that great money, but if I stay there one day I'll be rollin in the green(money that is). I don't know if it's worth it though. Even my mom thinks my priorities should be 1-school, 2-fun, 3-work. My most precious commodity right now = free time. But we'll see. Since my last update, I've updated my boyfriend as well, surprise surprise, since I'm the queen of short relationships. Dating Robbie now, and it's going amazingly well. I feel happy on the inside.

Lately my goal has just been to stay away from drama. I'm sick of dramatic friends and dramatic relationships and dramatic stories. I don't mean staying away from being emotional or passionate or crazy or facing problems that really matter. I mean getting over the stuff that doesn't matter and doing what makes me and people I care about happy. Life could be so much simpler than we make it.

Ok, I gotta go finish homework. Wuv you all!!

Running around like crazy trying to get ready to move tomorrow, gotta be at work at 4:30. My life is too busy!! Yay, I'm sooooooo ready to be back in tuscaloosa, I never realized how much I would miss everybody and just being there in general.

I have a new boyfriend who is just great. I've had really shitty relationships and guys pretty much my whole life and so far this is just completely different. He left me flowers on my car at work one night. Fuckin' flowers!!! This is one good reason you should all like him. And because he treats me really sweet. And because he makes me feel good about myself. And because I smile whenever I talk about him. And because he was a camp counselor this summer, gave up lots of money and fun times to work with kids, not many guys can say that. Ok, enough gushing (haha, funny word when you see it written out!!).

I have such a bad hangover-headache right now, I think my head's gonna explode. That would be crazy.

Time to go eat some maceroni and cheese, farewell for now, I'll see you tomorrow probably.
