+/- and....i can't really think of anything else at the moment. it's almost 3am, i'm fairly tired, and the cold weather/air is making it hard for me to breathe =/

HAVE A GOOD 2008!!

So I haven't updated this thing in, well, months but I HAVE been on facebook about every day. Just checking out the communities I'm in and whatnot. So here's a recap of my life:

- I move into my dorm room in a week.
- All my friends have pretty much left for college and if not already, then by this week.
- I gained weight over senior year/this summer and I really can't stand it anymore so I want to lose weight really bad but I'm not motivated =(
- I'm still single and looking forward to smart college boys.
- I just got new glasses today & I'll post pictures of them tomorrow.
- I got a job at the end of June/beginning of July at a restaurant by my house. I'm a hostess.
- I'm going to this hella kick-ass party tonight where people are gonna get drunk outta their minds most likely. I, however, won't have much to drink. I have work in the morning...

And...I think that's about it. Oh, I went on a roadtrip with my best girls to Branson and we had waaaay too much fun. I need to picspam my journal soon.

♥

For the first time all week, I will be in bed before 12:40am. Oh, it'll be wonderful. I've been absolutely DEAD this week because of lack of sleep.

Also, for Lent I am giving up biting my nails (nasty habit) and maybe chewing on ice. Oh, and I'm vowing to work out/stretch everyday. go me!

It's really nothing personal. Either you don't update or don't comment. If you want to rekindle our friendship and/or start doing either of those two things, then comment here. And I know some of these are old journals that y'all have had.

Reply with your name,

1. I will write something lovely about you.
2. I will tell you what song reminds me of you.
3. I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
4. Put this in your journal.

I may go see a movie with Peetah tonight and then go to a thrift store. Or vise versa, don't know when the store closes. If I go depends on when she calls me and how cool my parents are being tonight.

Kate invited me to go to a local show with her on Jan. 22nd. Kate graduated last year and she wants to hang w. me :)

let's play the anonymous game. (stole from dani)
the drill: put whatever it is that you have to say about me here. the good, bad, and ugly. anything at all. i'm not logging IPs so say what you feel is neccesary.

Well, do I have a story for YOU. I broke the microwave. Good job Amy.

I was boiling some water to make some tea and I was really close to the microwave to see whether or not the water was boiling. All of a sudden *BOOM*. The water explodes, the door flings open (and the front of the door fell off), and the door hits me right on the head. So I was able to break something and injure myself in less than a minute.

Don't worry, I'm alright. I just have a bump on my head.

Hey I'm going to be on vacation until Wednesday. Just wanted to let you know. Have a good day

After I post this update, I will use up my camera that I got for Warped Tour.  Hopefully they all turn out wonderful.

Today I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 with my brother.  It was amazing.  I highly recommend seeing this movie.  Ther are all these emotions you feel during the film..anger, sadness, shocked, etc.  At the beginning the screen is just black and you hear the planes crash into the World Trade Center.  That was tough to listen to, I remember exactly where I was when I heard that a plane crashed into the WTC.  I was in 6th grade, sitting in English class.  One of the other teachers came in, talked to my English teacher, and she turned on the TV right away and saw what was going on.  During every class we watched the TV and heard about everything.  It's a day I will never forget.  Anyway, then you saw all the smoke and papers flying everywhere and people crying.  I will admit that was a tough moment to watch.  Bush made me angry when I found out that he was on vacation when the WTC was hit.  He was at an elementary school reading to children.  He didn't even do anything when he heard the news, he sat there and continued to read with the kids.

Then I saw how the military started to recruit people from poorer areas.  Standing around malls and talking to anyone who looked like they could serve in the military.  There's a part about this family where the women's son was killed over in Iraq.  She went to the White House and there was this lady outside talking about the kids and she started to cry.  Then this other lady came up and said "Oh, that was all staged".  The lady went off and said "My son died!  That's not staged!", etc.  I felt so angry at that one lady and so sorry and sympathetic towards the mother. 

At one part in the documentary, Michael Moore went up to some members of the Congress and asked if they'd enlist their children in the war.  Some talked to him, most walked away.  There's only one Congressman that has his child in the military.  They should also have their children in the military.

Some parts of the movie were a little funny.  Bush was like, "There's a saying.  Fool me once...shame on you. *big pause because he forgot the saying* You can't fool me again.  At least remember the saying if you're going to tell it to others.

Just...go see it.  True, it's only one viewpoint but it's important to see some facts.

Wow that was probably one of my longest posts on LJ.  Well, tomorrow I am going to the lake.  I will be gone until Wednesday.  Feel free to leave messages.

That's sad when I quote gum commercials in my subject area. All well.

I went shopping a bit with mom for the trip. Nothing really to comment about. I customized my buddy, SP (Jessica)'s Blurty journal. It was fun and she ended up LOVING it so that makes me happy.

I watched "The Simple Life 2" and called Sean. He was sore from his football practice. He got the crap pretty much knocked out of him and then I felt sorry for him. He talked about football and I added a "Uh huh" in every now and then. I wasn't really that interested in hearing about his football practice. For some reason he said he hasn't been remembering things and I said "well, you remember we broke up" and he was like "yeah". I know, all of you are just on the edge of your seats wanting to know what happens next. He said, "hey, can I talk to you tomorrow?" and I'm thinking to myself 'yea if you call me which you won't shithead' but instead I said "yea, sure".


My eye is itching...stupid eye. hah
And I'm done.

Well, my day went as follows...

-woke up and watched tv/went online
-ate lunch
-picked up my guitar (got new strings)
-drove mom to the post office and then drove home
-sat around and went online
-tuned my guitar
-went to dinner. drove to get ice cream and then home
-watched tv
-talked to Josh
-played my guitar
-am now typing this

I was a bit sad today. My spirits dropped some more when I checked on my application for a community and saw that more poeople than not didn't like me. All well, can't please everyone.

No call from Sean. All well. Talked to Josh for a bit. He was working at Holiday Inn when I called him. He puts on this false show so he sounds happy and such when they call up (the guests) and then once he hangs up he tells me "God I hate these people". haha. My guitar sounds so much better than it did before. It has that new guitar sound. I LOVE IT!

I ♥ ice. It's perfect when it sits in water for a bit so then you can bite into it without the fear of chipping a tooth. This song makes me smile :)

I'm done.

Well...time for another update I feel.  As of 8:52pm on July 26th, 2004, I am single.  I thought I'd feel better about it but for the moment I'm not.  I'm actually feeling a but queezy in my stomach.  I'll feel better soon.  I hung up on him once I was done telling him and he didn't call me back (which I somewhat expected him to do) so....yea....

That's it.

I have the absolute worst timing, I swear. Whenever I call someone, they're either gone, leaving, or eating. What's up with that?! For instance, whenever I call Sean up, he's either eating or leaving. Now for my not-so-great story

I called Sean up to break up with him because I'm tired of everything, him not calling, not seeing him, etc. So, of course, after I say the words "Sean, I have to talk to you." he says "I'm leaving for somewhere" and I said "Fine. Bye. *click*" I hung up on him, that's right. I'll break it off tonight.

Well, that was a good story!!

Now onto some important stuff:
I'm getting new guitar strings on my Samsick. Some blue steel strings. I haven't gotten new strings in 9 months...my poor guitar sounded so flat :( don't worry guitar! Amy's gonna make you sound wonderful!
