just an update

Current mood: happy

tra la la i have to get the car to jens so he can go to skewl... and then i have to walk to work at 3 and then he is coming to see me near the end of my shift. i will have to buy him wing zings for being so sweet and thoughtful hehe. he must really be bored to want to hang out with me at work. you have to admit... jens and i really don't see each other a lot anymore... and when we do it's out of convenience rather than want so i want to make it a point to go out once or twice each month (when we get $$) and make it special so we don't have to bother each other about never getting to "do anything" lol. but i do love those lazy days like this weekend... that was nice and needed. i wuv ewe jensie!

HARRY FREAKING POTTER IS COMING!!! WOOT!

yeah there is this thing on the second (thursday) and i want to go to it, possibly an advanced showing? anyone want to join me?

now i will drive home and fantasize about ron weasley! 

oh and fyi i am considering a road trip to iowa city, let me know if anyone is interested!

debating debating [part 2]

Current mood: discontent

i am really confused as to whom i would like to date... this stems from a conversation with emilaaay (lol) last night. she kept saying:

emily: guess what?

me: what?

emily: you should date my cousin

i laugh but then i think... why not?

and then i think about other people who i am on pretty much the same terms with... we will call these guys; pieper, harry potter and gravy. i want people's opinions of who i should date or at least consider for dating...

case # 1: pieper is in his mid twenties, he worked at apac before they went under, he has a house and loves music and we have a lot of the same tastes but different enough to keep things interesting. he can get rather annoying and exhibits certain homoerotic tendencies (he thinks boys are pretty and has kissed them before) if you know me you know this is a no-no (that was a weird sentence) and he is also very "knowledgeable" meaning he puts himself out there as an educated person (which he is) but has a slightly skewed vision of society, stoner mentalities if you will. and the one word i can describe him as is, conspiritist.

case # 2: harry potter shares many common interests with myself, we both like, you guessed it, harry potter. he has always liked me regardless of how i have treated him and he is sweet and giving. he has a full time job (manager) and is just out of high school with future plans to go to college. but he is immature in some ways, firstly he is younger than me and doesn't drive and still lives at home. he is very nervous around me at times but becomes more outgoing, especially if there is competition involved. he is nice and we can have a conversation, mostly on the phone but a bit more is developing in person. the one word i can use to describe him is, innocent. (he is the only virgin in this debate)

case # 3: gravy has been my friend for a very long time. we seem to send each other mixed signals all the time. he is caring and understanding but can be self-important and self-centered. he doesn't really make an effort to call me and he is preoccupied with video games. he is only twenty-two and already makes a lot of money (that isn't terribly important to me) but it is impressive being he already finished school and is buying his house, has a car and whatnot. he is cute but i am having a bit of trouble with the older brother complex. he expressed interest in me pre-jens but has yet to exhibit any unmistakable signs post-jens. he is very intelligent but always has to be right. the one word that describes him is, friend.

what should i do? did i miss any contenders? am i crazy? i just need to see the pro and cons of each guy so i don't count out someone who i could really care for on a more intimate level. at some point i have felt sexual/love attraction towards them but it all seems to pass momentarily. i don't want to be with someone because i am alone and i don't want to just pick someone out of convenience or chance (flip a coin)

please give me any valuable insight you may have or direct any blind dates (you think might actually work) my way.

until then this debate rages on....

 

 

debating debating [part 1]

Current mood: amused

we had a debate in sociology today over the death penalty, i am for it only for terrible murderers who have no remorse and who planned it all out but i sat on the against side because i think it is much more logical and i can argue it better right... well i am glad i did because the for side was comprised of dumb hicks, i mean they actually threw out religion first you would think you would stick to your strong points, they kept clapping and yelling and they were completely grounding all of their arguments in feeling and emotion which is not the way to go about debating. my point (which the porfessor had everyone right down) was that in order for the death penalty to be a deterrent it must be swift and sure (most inmates are on death row 9 1/2 years before they are executed) if we do kill people i think it should be painful, like the old days... seriously who would be afraid of a little lethal injection? stick them in a torture device and then they can understand the pain they inflict on others. life in prison isn't the best solution either but at least i am not some dumb uneducated hick that argues "eye for an eye" i mean REALLY and then they were talking about it and our side (jokingly i think) threw out how Jesus would feel... i started laughing it was the most energetic sociology class i've been in. i wanted to slap this dumb bitch though, lol.

anyway enough about my boring day... or is it... muhaha.

i have to clean and grade papers and finish my fiction paper (grr) and possibly study some for soc and humanities... oh shit and read utopia lol, or maybe not.... it is so bland... yuck.

this weekend will be fun though, i work sat night and sunday but fri is going to be great, movies, food, games, yayness.

i swear if jens doesn't do those damn dishes JENS I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T DO THOSE DISHES I WILL WAIL ON YOU, LOL.

(i'm not kidding, seriously freaking do them lol)

my car is so sexy!!!! woot!

go go go johnny, go!!

Current mood: busy

welp i am doing hw... bleh i have a crap load. i have to finish my lit paper, read utopia, write a sociology paper on the death penalty, study humanities (i have no idea what's going on) erm... oral communication is ok but i have to work on that big group project for our meeting in a week and on top of that i work today but not before going to get the plates on my car and after that i am finishing all the work i don't get done now. *gasp* and i need to go apply at the hotel across the street as they are hiring and i need to find a new job. i am going to hopefully have a new better job by the end of the month... well march anyway then i can work for a few months to save up a deposit to get the hell out of here.

i am doing ok i school actually. i mean i think i just care too much about making good grades i am getting an A in sociology as of the test but i missed a quiz that day we had that huge storm but i can make up some extra credit by going to an event and writing a paper on it... that would make up some points, when i have time that is. oh well.

i am done with talking about school though... i am hungry lol i have to leave for lunch soon if i want anything but i am tempted to just wait until i am off of school to pick something up.

bah i don't think jens will be home tonight anyway, i don't really care i've got a lot to do but he is going to flunk out of school if he never goes and never does his hw. i am a little worried about it but its his own choice i can't do anything. but he can't just ignore me and expect to use my car... i don't mind if he uses it but he could at least be nice if i am going to give him a ride. i ain't no ride bitch, i only give rides to friends and if i am obligated, my mother.

oh well today i am just tired... that's all and tonight i will try to relax a little.... *sigh* after work... but then i have 3 days off so that will be nice. but THEN i work 4 days in a row again, it gets hard when they are all at different times and crap at least i have my car now though.

romance is put on a temporary (or permanent) hiatus. i don't even want to think about it.

word to your mother. word

woot rides for all!

Current mood: enthralled

vroooom vrooooom!!! (what the hell is mandy smokin'? read the rest of the blog to find out!!!)

my weekend was pretty ok. i worked friday night and we were so dead... we were also dead saturday evening when i worked again and wouldn't you know i freaking made maybe 25$ between the two days? it wouldn't be so bad except we had a bunch of extra people on because of the dart thing and it was supposed to be WAY busy and no it wasn't.. that is until the one night i didn't work, fucking A they all went home with 50-70 bucks and i made like not even half that in two aggravating nights. i am glad i decided not to work on sunday... it was a very lazy day...

i am mad that jens drank all my alcohol, bastard. you owe me pucker!! he is enjoying his drink lately, maybe i shouldn't have bought him that bottle of vodka, it was only 10 bucks though. maybe we can drink this next weekend... friday we are going out with abbe and thane and then i wanted to watch movies with tim and emily... and then maybe drink? that sounds fun. i want to go to a matinee because the movie we are going to see just sucks, maybe i will slip into a different movie when we get there... bah.

i came to school an hour early to get the papers of my group members, at lease renee sent hers. i feel like a dork now because mine is much more involved and the rest of my group apparently didn't write one at all! but my next class is canceled and i get my car today! woot! so i can call my dad to either pick me up early or to pick me up at home. i can't wait to get my car!

i met steve friday as well, i guess you could say there wasn't a lot of spark going on with that but he is a really nice guy. maybe i am not completely ready to date someone yet, but i would like to go out on dates with people. maybe i am just shy, i have never really dated anyone, i mean jens and i just kind of got together and were too busy to do much other than see each other at my house. and then we moved in and were practically married, except the sex was great lol. anyway.

i think he is feeling more comfortable with me and we are much more open. last night... well hell yesterday he slept, lol ALL DAY. but i knew he was tired. i cuddled him a little but mostly left him to it, i woke him up for work and he was really pleasant as though he really needed the sleep. he doesn't mind hugging me or showing affection most of the time, that is what i need right now. to realize that i don't have to be dating someone so they will give me affection, i can count on my friends to hug and support me and make me laugh. most times with jens are just great. although i know he doesn't tell me the whole truth and there are things about us that need to be fixed or forgotten, i also know that he is loyal, in his own way. he sticks up for me and protects me, if he will admit it or not. i might get to go home and say a quick hello before he leaves for school...

if not i only work until 630ish, he never specified any plans with anyone but i hope he can hang out for a bit, i really, really want some tacos lol. he is my taco-buddy!!

if anyone else wants to hang out i have my car now (well after school) and this week i work today, tomorrow (3pm-630ish) saturday (11pm-5am) sunday (4pm-8ish) and monday (3pm-630ish). so let me know if you are free, i have class in the a.m. so i am in cf and then my afternoons and evenings are free depending upon how much homework they load on me.

freaking thane woke me up last night, its my own fault though, i was sleeping at 130 in the morning lol, how silly of me. actually that's fair because i usually am awake still, but today i knew i would have to come early. i hope other people sent their papers... i should go i have to grade this one before class.

love yall

today

bleh. i have had a rough night. i don't know why. i had a dream that was so weird... i think it should inspire some art work or a movie or something.. i just can't shake it. i actually had an ok week though i am forever confused. *sigh* i only missed one class on thursday... thankfully but the class i missed was sociology and we had a quiz and activity so that sucks, you can't make that stuff up but oh well. i got an A on the first test so i think i should be ok. anyway... i just feel down, i am going to go out with jens after school hopefully. i just can't stop thinking. everything should be better, everything should be wonderful for me. i lost it all and now i am coming to terms with having to fight for it all back again. my self-worth self-respect and self-love. i just miss feeling like i am the one for someone. like how i feel when i am in love, that person is the reason i have the strength to get out of bed, i want to be better for them. most people think my reasoning is wrong but that plainly means they have never been in love.

someone can be your whole world, because it is them who makes you whole. without them you have missing pieces, if they complete you then how are they not the most important aspect of your life?

i don't have to think logically i am a fiery aries with passion that cannot be subdued by anything in this world. i love fiercely with a wild abandon and when i say i've got you-- i never let go.

i have had a recent epiphany... i would love to voice a band. i don't sing the best but i have a hell of a lot to say.

i will let you all know if it gets better.

"liberta, bellezza, verita e amore"

blogy blog

Current mood: dorky

blog blogy blog blog yay!

i am at the library doing homework (ha) well trying to start some at least. last night was fun work was so busy....

a girl thru up all over the table and then all over the bathroom and they didn't even tip! bastards, oh well. i made like 50 bucks (one guy left me a 25$ tip) he was older and with his family so it was nice. i got a lot of compliments on my serving yesterday so i guess i actually gave a crap for once...

but yeah then i went out with davey to a.j.'s and it was ok, the food wasn't great but it was still fun, we went to rent a movie and couldn't find one we both wanted to see so we went to walmart for a while and then went home and watched the craft. all in all a pretty uneventful valentine's day (damn) oh well i shall have better luck next year.

bah. my group project thingy is good, we just had our meeting and we are going to be on the entertainment committee for the relay for life and so i have a little homework to do before march 31.

i don't know what i am doing tonight but it should involve jens, emily and craziness yay!

i think i get my sexy perfume from her today (yay) and so then we will attract the men tehe.

i got a freaking A on my humanities test! woot. i got like the highest score in the class on the multiple choice (94) and i got a 90 on the essay which is one of the highest... i think the only score above me was a 92ish.

i am going to check my sociology score after this *cross fingers* please let me get an A i studied my butt off.

oh well i guess no romance blossomed for me and no man is going to get me flowers or chocolates or expensive dinners (though i did get a reasonably priced meal from davey) but i don't care.

that's right i don't care. men are utterly worthless most of the time. but i do miss the penis. sadly.

i am rambling ... do do do do.... rambling....

i love ya all sucka's hit yo bitch up!!

i am so kewl i can't stand it. my valentine's day is now 300 times better! and also davey has been roped into taking me out hehe.

the main point of this blog...

I FREAKING RULE!!!

 

 

and now i kill you!

Current mood: freaking great (dripping of sarcasm)

i loathe you oh hellish day of valentines. thankfully i choose to celebrate the massacre you were named for rather than the blasted excuse for a holiday you are now.

i hate valentines day, along with summer and my freaking birthday. something always is wrong or i always get hurt and end up alone. (always)

so yeah this year i have another festering sore to add to this atrocity of a holiday, tomorrow is the would-be 2nd anniversary of yours truly.

i just wish jens would be my friend and stop worrying about how he is with me. there is nothing wrong with cuddling or showing me affection or interest. i mean its not like he's going to switch back. i just ask for a little understanding i mean for god's sake in one year my life turned around 180 degrees. now i am in school, have a job, have all these personal troubles and now there is no one there to support me and love me. it makes a HUGE difference. i guess i am upset because i know jens can be loving and caring and affectionate and i am sick of feeling like so unworthy of his love. no matter what type of love it may be.

i am living my life full of regrets at the moment, mostly about the jens thing, but more and more lately about kyle. i never seem to see wonderful things standing right in front of me until they are gone. i just need someone.

but i don't want anyone's pity, for them to love me because they feel bad for me (that's what happened last time) i don't want to ruin someone or some relationship just so i don't have to be alone. i want to meet someone when i am happy, not to meet someone to make me happy. but i do need someone, why not my friends?

and now for a little poetic brooding.

"stop rubbing my face in everything i've done

i live with it too, each day just like you do.

i'm tired of running away from every attacker

they jump on me from every corner.

maybe i am paranoid, but someone once said,

that doesn't mean they really aren't after you.

i've got every reason

to eat that barrel, swallow that poison.

but living this is punishment enough

i need not go through another hell

i am there."

ok now i am surprisingly happier. just think mandy one day.....

you will write an amazing novel or book series and have a beautiful home with a wonderful man and travel anywhere you wish and have anything you like and everyone will love you and understand you. people will read you and they will feel better... certain people will die horrific deaths and you will abolish this crap-load-of-shit of a holiday and create a new holiday to celebrate the all-knowing goat lords and then you will wake up in the cupboard under the stairs and realize it was all a dream and your scar is burning... AHHHHHHHH.

::wakes up with key imprints on her forehead::

and i still have to go to work today :::WAAAAHHHH::

weasley is our king!

i found this website http://www.weasleyisourking.net/ and it is basically a vote for your favorite celeb. its british but it is funny cuz rupert grint fans (ron weasley) want him to win! so do me a favor and vote for the sexiest red head ever lol.

 

 

 

 

what's in a name?

Current mood: okay

yeah this weekend was fun. i am so tired though... i should never drink two nights in a row. friday jens had to work so i hung out with sami and emily and some guy erm... albert and his friend greg. emily met albert on yahoo personals lol. it seems to have worked he wasn't a crazy killer... that we know of yet but yeah. jensie's party was good i got to see jason *hugs* i missed him so much and i met emily's boyfriend who i actually went to school with and we hung out pretty much all day. i ended up going to elephant man with them rather than to osty's play. what can i say it was cheaper and i thought it was damn good.

sorry osty by the way there was some drama unfolding but i didn't want to drag it to the show plus i plainly don't like paul. i was friendly all day and even attempted to join in their activities and i really just didn't feel like playing third wheel to jens and his new mistress.

i suppose snide remarks like that are why people don't like me *tear drop* ::evil laugh:: but that's what makes me, me! and outrageous! woot!

i had a freaking blast... til sunday... sunday was an accumulation of hangovers and such but i get to look forward to it again on saturday. woo whoo. i don't even like drinking i just hate not being drunk LOL.

it was nice to see sami though, how that she is (hehe love ya sam) but yeah i have some homework i have to attend to today (good thing i got the day off) but you can call me i will be more than happy to procrastinate for a few mins! huge sociology exam tomorrow (crap) lol i have started studying but i fear it will not be enough.

this is mandy (not amanda ya freaking a-holes I SWEAR TO GOF) lol... goblet of fire?? last night at work these people asked me my name when i plainly have a  large nametag over my breast and then and THEN after i say my name is MANDY they call me AMANDA. my name is not amanda i hate that name i hat e it! and they proceeded to say my name everytime i passed them or got something for them and they even hollered at me WHILE i was giving derek and brent a rant about how i hate being called amanda. freaking derek lol he started calling me that so i called him derka derka lol.

anyway long story short i wanted to kill them... but the best thing was i had to smile and all and pretend like i was so grateful that they called me by my name. oh my gosh people are idiots.

i don't see anyone else assuming someone's name is short for something. if your waiter is jim you don't call him james, if it's shaniquitalia you don't ask her if it's short for anything its their own FREAKING NAME PEOPLE. i don't care if i call myself asshole.. if that's what i want to be called you better call me that!

the absolute best thing is i get called "Nancy" constantly at work by costumers they seriously can't read my nametag. one day this chick was like my name's nancy too, and she was way excited and i was like "ha to bad my name's mandy" i think she was pissed off but what did i care those bitches didn't tip LOL.

god i hate happy crap. my life is happy crap, a lot of freaking happy crap and bullshit.

and so...

i dance *giggle*

dance mutha fucka dance woot!!!

my hero

Current mood: depressed

i am starting my speech (again for the 3rd time) because i have reconsidered what i should do. i am going to write my personal speech on kyle. i was afraid that i couldnt' make it through if i started talking about him but i think i have to. i will let you know if i can deliver it, i think eveyone needs to pay tribute to those who impact their lives. kyle definetly impacted mine and i am so proud that he sacrificed himself so someone else could live. kyle timothy cummins will always be my hero because he was selfless and lived for his family and friends. this summer i want to go visit kyle before i leave for iowa city, if anyone else knew him and wants to go you are welcome. the last time i saw him was last winter i think, maybe we went up for his birthday, i really don't remember but i told him i had someone to take care of me now and he didn't have to worry about me. but now that jens and i are broken up i am going to ask if he will watch over me extra careful and remind him that he will forever be in my heart.

kyle timothy cummins gone but not forgotten

(missed and loved)
