This post is likey to be offensive, but I really want to get something off my chest.  If you're a devout Christian, I mean no offense, but you probably shouldn't read this.

So, in my Math class, there's this really socially awkward girl that I sit next to.   Socially awkward, but totally nice.  And she'd been begging me to go to Oak Creek Assemly with her for weeks.  I told her I wasn't interested, but being the nice person I am, I caved.  I told her I'd go one time with her, just to check it out.

Not many people know this, but I'm Catholic.  It's not something that governs my being or anything, but it's there.  I occasionally go to Our Lady of Lords with my grandma, but I don't own a bible or anything.

Anyway, I went to the church with this girl last night.

Yeah, I'm never going again.

Needless to say, it totally freaked me out.  The message that I got out of it was that if you go to Las Vegas you're a hussie.  And that if you have sex before marriage, it's because Satan made you.

Don't get me wrong, the people there were nice.  But they totally freaked me out.  I got so sick of them calling me their "Christian sister" that I busted out with "I'm not Christian sister; I'm your Catholic second cousin."

To which they responded that they would pray for me, and one day I would be saved.

I told my roommates about it when they got home, and they laughed.  They're both Catholics who had experienced Christian churches before, and they said they'd never go back again, either.

Moral of the story: If you're Catholic, don't attend a Christian church.  It'll scare the shit out of you.

I haven't updated my journal in forever and a day, because honestly, not much has happened.

Same shit, different day, if you will.  And honestly, even with things always being the same, I feel so incredibly happy to just be ALIVE :).

I know that I shouldn't feel this way, but I am INCREDIBLY excited about the fact that my lease is up in a month and a half.  I already have a new roommate planned, and in 90 days or so I will never have to deal with Jennifer Von Slob or her Deadbeat loser boyfriend again!

The only bad thing is that I'm going to have to use my tax return to pay two months of full rent, because the new roommate can't move in until May.  Which really, really sucks, but it's far better than either of the alternatives (moving back home, or renewing a lease with Queen Slob).

I'm also starting school again next week, and, as weird as this sounds, I can't wait!  I have about a year left before I get my first degree, and that puts me one step closer to Africa.  If I'm lucky, I might be able to get over there without a Bachelors - if I'm lucky.  I've heard that when a person realizes their greatest wish, the whole world conspires in their favor.  And god, I want to believe that so badly.

But with all of this great news, I bring along a conundrum.  As most of you know, I haven't dated since the epic Colin break-up.  Not because I never got over him, but because I just wanted to put all of my focus on my family, my friends, and my life in general.

Well.

I have a problem with leading people on.  I know I do it, and it's never intentional, but it's always been there.

And now, a few of my friends are asking me if we could get more "serious".  Two of them actually want to go to Kenya with me for the volunteer work, and I don't know what to say! I mean, it's great that they want to go to Kenya, but I can't help but feel that their reason for going is less to do with helping those kids and more to do with going there with me.

So the whole friendship vs. relationship lines are getting a little blurred now, and that's starting to make me a little bit uncertain.

I've run out of things to write about, but before I go, I want to tell everyone a little bit about a really cool website I found.

It's called <a href="http:///www.Bookmooch.com">Bookmooch</a>.  If you have some books that you're looking to get rid of, and want some new ones, I'd recommend giving it a look.  Basically, you post all of the books that you are looking to get rid of, and other people request them.  You get points for every book you are willing to send out, and can trade them in for books that other people are giving away.  I've gotten a lot of interesting books from people in exchange for the ones that had been collecting dust in my library.

I have finally decided on what I want to do for my 22nd b-day party.

I'm throwing an Edward Norton/Edward Furlong themed party.  Costumes are optional; drinking is not.

People can come as whichever Edward character they want, but I call dibs on Pecker.

Why I am voting for Ralph Nader.

For the most part, I don't do this. I've always had a lot of political views, but I've never really gotten into elections - mainly because I wasn't old enough to vote in any of the previous elections, and so I felt that it didn't make a difference.

But it does make a difference. Everyone's vote counts for something. Whether your candidate of choice gets sworn into office or not, if you vote, your voice will be heard.

As everyone knows, Obama and McCain are the primary candidates for this, the 2008, election. And while I have nothing against either of them (or their voters), I've seen the candidate that I believe can create a real change; a change that can truly benefit America.

Ralph Nader is a relatively well known candidate, but one that gets little media exposure and has never had the privledge to debate against the big-time Republican and Democratic candidates. He is the candidate who represents what so many Americans wish for, but feel is unobtainable. But he believes in change, and knows that together, we can make it happen!

For the people who do not know what the Nader/Gonzalez campaign stands for, I'll give a brief description of some of the prominent issues that they have strong stand points on:

Breaking the addiction to fossil fuel.

Every year, we spend a ridiculous amount of our hard-earned money on fossil fuels. The average consumer spends hundreds to thousands of dollars on transportation every year, whilst the oil companies line their pockets and feed their own greed.

Ralph Nader wants to end this. He proposes that we gradually step away from fossil fuels, and invest money on solar energy. Not only will this process create countless jobs (which will additionally lower our unemployment rate), but also utilize the potential of the natural energy that the sun will continually produce.

In addition to helping people save money, Nader's plan will also help the environment. Whilst other countries may not follow this example, America will no longer contribute to the destruction of our planet by the drilling of oil.

Civil Unions and Rights for Homosexuals

The issue of Civil Unions is not one of whether homosexuality is right or wrong; it is an issue of equal rights for all people. If we are all created equally, why should heterosexuals receive privledges that homosexuals are denied?

Nader has always been a supporter of civil unions. He believes that homosexuals deserve the same rights as heterosexuals, and the ability to choose your partner, regardless of gender, is a fundamental human right.

We are all people, with feelings and thoughts of our own. Why should anyone be stripped of the right to join with the person who makes them truly happy?

Affirmative Action

Women have had to fight for centuries for the same privledges that men have always enjoyed, simply because of their gender. Although they have come a long way, women are still not treated equally in the workforce. Females, on average, receive only seventy-nine cents to every dollar that a man doing the same exact job earns.

Ralph Nader recognizes this inequality, and wishes to close the wage gap between males and females. Affirmative Action will not only level the playing field, but also give women the rights they deserve.

Promoting Peace in the Middle East

Our current political strategy for handling the Middle East crisis is destructive not only to ourselves, but to the people of the Middle East as well. In the past eight years, the war in Iraq has already caused the death of 4,000 Americans, thousands of injuries to American soldiers, and millions of civilian deaths in Iraq. Additionally, the war has destroyed the already unstable country of Iraq.

Ralph Nader proposes that our troops be pulled out of Iraq within six months. The majority of Americans oppose the war, and have been expressing their desire to withdraw our troops for years. Isn't it about time the government listened to the people, instead of their own agenda?

These four issues are just a sample of all that Nader is campaigning for. He has a strong stance on countless issues, from social security to humanitarian efforts. He is a real politician with a real heart, and has plans for a better America.

I did not write this post to try and persuade anyone, nor am I bashing any of the other candidates. I wrote this for my own self-satisfaction, and I am not receiving any money or praise for posting this.

However, I do urge anyone who wishes to learn more about the Nader/Gonzalez campaign to do so. They give hope to millions of people, and what they stand for is truly beneficial to Americans and humanity as a whole.

So, it's been a while since I've updated my LJ, even though a lot of shit has happened. This has possibly been the hardest few weeks I've ever had, and yet I'm happy - I know that once I get through all of this shit, I'll be a much stronger person.

With the economic crisis going on, maybe it's best to mention my job first and foremost. It sucks. Don't get me wrong, I kind of like my job. Really. I mean, I don't think it's possible to LOVE your job - unless you're a stay at home parent - but it's decent. At least, it's better than any of the other jobs I've had before.

The problem isn't the work itself, but the hours I'm getting. They're terrible. And it's not just me, it's everyone in the company. My hours have been drastically cut, and it's made paying bills hard as all hell. I've searched and searched for other jobs: full-time jobs to replace the one I have, part-time jobs to supplement it, and I've only just received good news.

After about a month, I finally had an interview this morning, and two more next week. With a little luck, I'll get something - anything is better than what I have now. It's seriously that bad. As everyone knows, I've never been 'into' money, but when you're struggling to pay the rent, you realize how much of a necessity it is, whether you like it or not.

Another thing that's made this month tough was the coming and going of a very special person to me: Dustin. I met him quite unexpectedly, and he hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't looking to meet anyone, but like I said, he crashed into my life and, for lack of better words, fucked everything up.

I - we - were completley smitten with each other within about ten minutes. After two days, we were finishing each other's sentences and knew practically all there was to know about each other. We spent hours and hours on the phone, stayed up all night IM'ing on Yahoo Messenger, and counted down the seconds until we could see each other. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before, and it was completely insane.

And then, like that, he vanished. He was offered a job as a farm hand in Hawaii and took it. No joke. I can't say I blame him; who wouldn't prefer Hawaii to Wisconsin? But seriously, it upset me something terrible. I was so upset that I refused to see him off before he left. I'm not normally like that, but damn, I cried the entire day.

Needless to say, I was listening to a lot of Sarah Brightman and feeling sorry for myself.

But I've recovered, and I'm back to my normal self. In reality, things like this happen all the time: people come into your life quickly, and leave just as quick. And if you're meant to see them again, you will. I have a good feeling that Dustin and my meeting was not an accident.

So, there you are! My life the past month or so in a nutshell. It's been one helluva roller coaster ride, but I've never been happier in my life. I feel like ... I appreciate things more. I'm happy just to have a roof over my head and air in my lungs. I've always taken the simple things for granted, but not anymore.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!!!!!!

We can pop bottles all night, baby you can have whatever you like ..

Holy crazy impulsive drunk night!

Yesterday, Rachel, a girl I work with, had her 21st birthday party. She rented out a party bus with a hefty liquor stash that took us down to several bars. I can't remember which ones, 'cause I was pretty fucked up, but I know that we went to quite a few on Water.

Needless to say, I don't remember much of the night. I know that I spent the majority of the night telling my co-workers how much I love them, and was quite a sloppy drunk indeed.

And apparently I also made out with my ex, Adrian's, best friend. Ooops.

All in all, great night. Everyone's already looking for an excuse to repeat it - and I most definitely second that notion.

Fri, Aug. 29th, 2008, 09:02 pm
Fuckity fuck fuck.

I survived my first drunken brawl last night, and am happy to report that while I got a few bruises, he's in way worse condition.

But let me back up right quick.

So, last night Jennifer and I decided to go to The Terminal, 'cause we haven't gone to the bar together in a long ass time. We called a few friends, and we all sat around drinking and talking for a while.

At around midnight, my drunk ass called my secret-not-so-secret crush, Gary's best friend Keith. He was at a bar right down the road from our house, so we decided to meet him there on our way home.

While we were at the bar, my friend Artsiom called and asked if we wanted to have a few drinks with him. Since we were heading home, we invited him to just come to our place and have a few beers. Bad idea.

Once Jennifer pried Keith and I away from each other, we headed home. Our friend Bobby came with us to have a few drinks, but Keith ended up going home 'cause he had to work early in the morning.

Well, at first it was all cool. Artsiom and his friend came over, and we all had a few beers. At around three, we were all waaaayyyy to drunk to drive, so everyone just spent the night. Bobby and Artsiom's friend stayed in the living room, and I, being the great hostess I am, offered my friend my bed.

After a while of laying uncomfortably on the floor, Artsiom talked me into sleeping in the bed. He promised he wouldn't touch me, but went back on it within a few minutes.

So, as he's trying and trying to hook up with me, I'm saying no, hell no, get the fuck away from me, I don't like you, I'd rather die than sleep with you. I was drunk as hell, so I was incredibly loud about it - but apparently no one else heard.

Eventually I got so pissed off that I got out of bed, dragged him out, and told him I was going to kick his ass. Now I want everyone to know that I NEVER NEVER do things like that - drunk or otherwise - but this dude pissed me off more than I've ever been pissed in my life. As far as I'm concerned, no means no, not keep trying to put your hands down my pants.

All I know is that I'm incredibly thankful for that year or so of karate I took - otherwise my ass would've been grass. As it turned out, I've got some brusing on my arm, but I don't think he's going to try to mess with anyone again anytime soon.


The morale of this story is: MATC friends do not make good ones. Out of the three I've hung out with, two tried to molest me and one became psycho obsessed with me. I'm seriously considering only talking to girls next semester.

Fri, Aug. 1st, 2008, 12:25 am

Tonight marks the night I first got drunk with my sister.


What an amazing fucking night. I've known Jo my entire life, yet this is the first time I've seen her drunk.

She's seen me drunk about 329082309483209 times before, but you never know your family until you've seen them completely bopped.

And I love it!

So now that the night's all over, I'm going to listen to Dave Matthews Band until I pass out. Which will be soon, considering the fact that I have to work in a couple of hours.

I had my interview today, and honestly, it wasn't the greatest. Once I got there, the HR person informed me that the position I was interviewing for was pretty much filled. She promised to keep my resume on file, but I still felt like I was wasting my time. I don't understand why they didn't just call me if they'd already filled the position, and saved me the time (and gas money!) that it took me to drive all the way down there.

Luckily, I have my Personal Banker training next week for my current job. Even though the raise isn't all that great, at least I'll be getting more hours. And with the way the job market is going, I guess I'm lucky to even have a job.

I really need to renew my FAFSA for school, but I don't have a copy of my completed tax forms. Does anyone know if I can use the W-2s that I got in 2007? I really hope so.

Other than the fail!interview, not much is going on. I'm off today, and then I'm working nine days in a row. My check will be pretty good in two weeks, but I'm not going to pretend that almost a week and a half of constantly getting bitched at is going to be fun. Oh, well. My sanity can go, but at least I'll still have my health, right? =D

Wed, Jul. 23rd, 2008, 05:37 pm

Things are finally looking up! I have an interview with North Shore bank on Monday, for a full-time supervisor position. They're offering me more money, my own desk, and flexibility around my school schedule (so I can go back to night school). As long as I don't botch up the interview, I'm sure I'll get in.

I've also cut back on drinking, which was easier than I thought. I went from drinking almost every day to strictly friday and/or saturday nights. Even though I miss Jamie, cutting her out of my life has actually made me happier.

I'm a bit on the broke side for the first time in my life, so I actually haven't been doing a whole lot. It's kinda strange, though. I've always been really good with money, and I don't understand why I suddenly don't have a whole lot of it. Have prices been rising a lot lately, or is it just me?

I traded in some old shit the other day for the DS version of Final Fantasy IV, which I've been surgically attached to. Seriously. I'm not really in to video games, but once you put Final Fantasy in my hands ... good luck getting it away from me.

Sat, Jul. 19th, 2008, 09:23 am

Lately, I've been getting my life together. I've put out applications for a better job, started my financial aid for school next semester, and stopped drinking all the time.

Until yesterday.

When I got home from work, Jen (my roommate) wanted to go to the bar. I said no at first, because I knew I was going on saturday with Colin. But she eventually talked me into it, so I got dressed up, and we went.

Naturally, I got completely hammered. I don't know how it happened. I honestly didn't drink that much. I had three Long Islands, a Captain and Sprite, and three beers. I used to have to drink double that to get drunk. Apparently, not anymore.

So I walked around the bar, talking to every. Single. Person. When I get drunk, for some reason I get oddly curious about everyone's heritage. So last night, I'd guess what someone was, and then go and ask them.

Jen and I eventually left, and she invited two guys from the bar over. I was drunk, so I didn't really give a damn. We ended up getting home, and debating over who we would rather fuck: Joker or Two-Face. I said Two-Face. You know who she picked.

I ended up going to bed shortly after, but they apparently didn't: there are empty beer cans, bottles, and other assorted crap all over the kitchen.

And on that note, I think I'm going back to sleep.

Fri, Jul. 18th, 2008, 08:55 am
Why so serious?

Last night, I went to the midnight showing of The Dark Knight.

Holy shit.

Christian Bale is hot, the Joker is fucking crazy, and Aaron Eckhardt made me fall in love with Two-face. This movie is absolutely amazing, probably the best Batman movie made so far.

I also ran into my most recent ex at the movie. And, presumably, his new girlfriend (who glared mercilessly at me the entire time we were talking). Is it wrong to be happy for him, but at the same time get just the slightest bit jealous?

Fri, Jul. 4th, 2008, 09:38 am
What. The. Fuck.

Why can't people just get along? How hard is it, really?

Last night, I went to The Terminal with Jen, Jamie, Natalie, and Al. We had a few drinks, a couple of ugly guys started trying to talk to us, and then we left.

I got in the car with Jen and Jamie. Jen drove Jamie's car, because she didn't drink anything. We were supposed to meet Al and Natalie down at Bootlegger's.

Well on the way there, Jamie and Jen randomly started arguing, and Jamie yelled for Jen to get out of her car. Jen got out, and Jamie started pushing her. It escalated into a fist fight, which was broken up by a random guy and girl on the street.

The passerby who broke up the fight drove Jen and I home. Two seconds later, Jamie walked into our house with our other friend, Maria. She basically started punching Jen. I jumped in between them, and Maria tried to pull Jamie off of Jen.

Jamie started yelling about how much of a whore Jen was, and Jen started yelling about how much of a drunk bitch Jamie was. Jen called 911, and Jamie said she didn't give a fuck if the police came. She kept swinging at Jen.

I stayed in between them, and eventually Maria pulled Jamie off of Jen. They went into the hallway, and we closed and locked the door.

The cops came about ten minutes later. One talked to Jen in the living room, and the other one tried to flirt with me. Seriously. He kept pulling me away from Jen, saying he needed to talk to me "in the bedroom". And the other cop kept rolling his eyes at him. Funny ass shit.

Right after, I got a text message from Jamie apologizing for kicking me out of her car, but saying that Jen deserved it. Right. I won't be accepting that apology any time soon.

I feel like shit about the whole situation, 'cause I was friends with everyone involved. But honestly? I'm ready to cast myself out of this "circle." It's like a clique back in high school - everyone hangs out with the same people, date the same people, hate the same people, etc.

And fuck, I graduated three years ago. I don't need to go through the bullshit again.

I've learned the hard way that even if you know someone for three years, and think they're your completely platonic friend of the opposite sex, it's not always the case.

Let me back up. Last night, I met up at the bar with my girls Jamie and Natalie. We had a few drinks, smoked a few cigs, and went home a little before bar close.

A few minutes after I get in the door, my cell rings. It's Adam, my first friend at MATC. My completely normal, hang-out-on-a-saturday-night-with-a-bottle-of-vodka-and-watch-trashy-tv-with-friend.

But apparently, that isn't the case anymore. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Hello?

Adam: What's up baby?

Me: Just got home from the bar. What're you doing?

Adam: Thinking about you.

Me: ... Okay. Wanna come have a few drinks?

Adam: It's not drinks I wanna have.

Me: Um. What?

Adam: I'm going to the porn store. Mind if I bring some friends to your place?

Me: Like who?

At this point, a girl snatches the phone, informs me that they're going to buy condoms, and then head over. There's a pause, and then Adam comes back on the phone.

Me: Dude, I'm not looking to fuck a bunch of people tonight.

Adam: Well, how about just me and my friend?

Me: How about no?

We hang up, and then a while later, the girl calls me again. And tells me that they're on their way over. To which I tell her that they can come if they want, but I'm not opening the door.

I then proceeded to pass out on the sofa while watching late night infomercials, and didn't wake up until ten minutes before I had to get to work.

I think I'm scarred for life.

So. After a long hiatus, I've finally decided to post an entry.

All in all, not much has changed. I'm still working the same shit job, still drinking too much, still eating the same disgusting health food and hitting the gym, and still being an irresponsible son of a bitch.

And I'm enjoying every moment of it.
