wow. I haven’t written since graduation… crazy. So much has happened. Well, since then, I went to Venezuela (which was completely amazing), so check out the Venezuela pics located under the “Venezuela” link. What else… oh yeah… college. My freshman year came and went. I worked at the Christian bookstore both semesters. I worked all the time. Didn’t go home much. James was at UNF that first semester… so we saw each other only on weekends. He eventually came to his senses and transferred back to FSU. Smart boy. So anyways, I got straight A’s both semesters. Yay.

I lived with Amy Farabee and Christy Witter. Christy was not the Spanish-speaking roommate I had requested, but she was placed with us regardless. Christy is from Virginia. She’s a trip. So yeah, our living situation was anything but boring. I’d have to say that it actually was the most interesting part of my entire freshman year. There are so many stories, but obviously I’m not going to reveal them to the whole world. So if you wanna hear them, then ask.

Anyways, so like I said, freshman year came and went. I moved back home in May and lived in the poolhouse (across the pool from mommy and daddy). :-P I taught Spanish to elementary-aged kids in mom’s summer school program for 6 weeks. That was definitely an experience. I actually had a lot of fun. Who woulda thought. So that was good fun.

Then in July something really awful happened. We lost my aunt big big. She passed away the weekend after independence day. It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with in… well… ever. But we all loved her and have tons of great memories of her. And, ya know, I’ll always be her “hamhock girl”. J I just wish she coulda come watch the FSU v. UF game with me this year. But I know she was rootin for those gators in Heaven. Too bad we kicked their butts. LOL. So anyways, Ann and Bubba are living with my parents now. Uncle david is still bringin home the bacon and tries to come home as much as possible. Ann’s in high school now. I can’t believe it! She plays clarinet in the band, and bubba is in middle school and is learning how to play the drums. (So you know how much I must enjoy coming home on the weekends only to be woken up at the butt crack of dawn by drumsticks banging on whatever makes noise.) lol.

Oh, and it’s jackie’s senior year. She’s headin over to FSU in the fall. Hopefully we won’t kill each other when she moves in with me. Oh yeah, my parents bought us an apartment behind the stadium. It’s in a great location. Amy Bouchard is my roommate this year. We get along great. She’s awesome. She actually puts up with my being a slob. Hmmm. Thanks Amy! J so yeah the semester just ended last week. I think I pulled off all A’s again. Let’s hope. Next semester I’ll be almost completely in my major. I’m so excited.

Right now I’m in Tallahassee even though school is over… I have to work this week so I can have money to pay bills and buy gifts for Christmas. I’m working at united way of the big bend. I do data entry and count money. I like it much better than retail. Prolly cuz I’m lazy and I get to sit on my fat butt all day rather than standing for 8 hours…. Yeah that must be it. I’m pretty excited about going home for a couple weeks for Christmas though. It’ll be fun… even though it is live oak. I’ve actually come to appreciate live oak for what it is, but I still can’t deny what it isn’t, ya know. :P james and I are still in love. Awwww. We’re approaching the 4 year mark. So when’s the wedding, you ask? Wouldn’t you and I both like to know. Hehe. James is hoping to win the lottery, so I guess our odds of getting married in THIS lifetime are what, 1 in 25 million? Hah. Anyways, I’m about to be 20 years old on jan. 11. I won’t be a teenager anymore. Hmm… not sure how I feel about that. But what can ya do. Ok well I’m gonna stop typing now cuz this is getting ridiculously long and so yeah. Peace out yo.

So this is the week of graduation. I graduate in 3 days. I think I should be sad or something like that, but truthfully I could care less. I'm so ready to graduate and get out of dead oak. Nothing against our quaint little town, but it is definitely time to move on to the next level.
    Today was our Senior Awards Assembly. I was awarded a $2000 scholarship from the Elks Club, a $500 scholarship from Lonnie Bob Hurst Trust Fund, $1000 from Mrs. Elaine Crapps in honor of her father, and $100 for serving as Miss SHS this past year. I guess I made out pretty well with all those awards. Still need a lot more though. But hopefully I'll get a 28 on the next ACT and get full tuition.
    Anyways, enough of that. Tonite is Baccalaurette and I'm singing with Lekay and Latoria. It should be fun. I sang this morning at the Awards thingy too, and I'll be singing at graduation also… hmmm…. I'm sure I'll have enough people talking about me behind my back because of all the singing I'm doing… of course it would have to be a Lacy concert, right? Yeah well, people can be so retarded.
    James is home for the summer and I am a very happy girl. I try to spend every waking moment with him… hehe. Well , Primo is home from Oklahoma for the summer too. This makes me happy since he is installing speakers into my car for my graduation present.  Also, he will be here to keep James company while I'm at Camp Dovewood for 3 weeks, Venezuela for 2 weeks, and MissionFuge for 1 week in West Palm Beach.  Yes, I have quite the busy summer schedule.
    Get this. My dear friend Amanda just got a 2001 BMW coupe. As if her 98 4runner just wasn't enough… Ahhh Amanda how we envy you. Oh and as for more updates, Erika is dating a rather hott guy from Pensacola. I've yet to meet him, but his picture is quite scrumptious. Umm… Yes, Amy is dating Aaron Musgrove and has been for a while… can you say hottie? Amy, you are very lucky my friend… as are you Mr. Musgrove. OH yeah, amy and i will be roommates at FSU next year along with a random Spanish-speaking roommate that I've requested. We're living at Jefferson Commons which is just amazing. It even has a complementary tanning bed.
    Hmmm… I'm sure I have much more to say but I can't seem to think of all of it right now. So I guess I will have to keep updating this "daily" thoughts until I leave for camp on June 10. Be back later…. Hasta pasta.

   hi. i'm bored. there's no school today cuz of the tropical storm "gordon". woo. i should be writing my 2 papers that are due this week for my college english class... but ya know, i'd much rather cram it all in at the last minute. that's always fun. it's finally getting a little chilly outside. finally. this makes me happy.
    guess what. i'm getting a new car this week! i'm quite excited. actually, i was supposed to get it last thursday, but we found out that we have to wait on the title to be mailed to us from Delaware... so that will take until this wednesday or thursday, which kinda sucks, but hey, at least i'm getting it before april, which was the original time i would be getting a car. anyway. it's a mitsubishi eclipse. that's exactly what i wanted too. i begged for months and months and was continuously shut down by daddy saying that i would never get an eclipse. but HAH. i have won the battle. ;) yeah well, anyways. now i have to clean out the old red bomb and make it look all pretty and stuff so that we can sell it. you wanna buy it? we're selling it at the low price of $3250. what a great deal, eh? hmm.
    have you ever read the book "the bluest eye"? it's really good. i recommend it. i hate to read. but there's this thing called college and sometimes they make you read and so i chose this book to read and i like it alot surprisingly.
    ya know what. i bought a membership to the gym for this month... i think i've only been like 2 times. i don't know why i do that. i'm such a sloth. but really, sometimes when i do actually feel like going, i dont have time. oh well. i guess i'll learn one day. that's $25 down the drain. and really, like i'll ever actually have the body of amy or kelly or jency... yet i keep draggin my fat butt up to that gym and pretending like it'll happen. hah. i crack myself up.
    hey today is jennifer's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN!!!!
    ok well i'm outta here.

9-5-00
        ok well i haven't written in a while so i decided today would be a good day to start. actually, i'm sitting in mr. wells class 1st period with nothing to do, so this is a cure for my boredom. well, lets see... obviously school has started and my classes are extremely easy. james has been in tallahassee for 2 weeks now. the first week it was really hard, now it's ok. i guess we're getting used to it. besides, we'll see each other every weekend so that is good. and plus, i'll be over there in less than a YEAR! yippie!
      today is election day. i really hope that randy henderson loses miserably, i don't really care who wins, just as long as he gets beat. he's such a moron. i probably shouldn't be writing about him on here for everyone to see, but i could actually care less. if i'm offending you, then stop reading. maybe i'll devote a whole page to "The Complete Stupidity of Randy Henderson". that would be tons of fun. i could collect newspaper articles, budget reports, and all that good stuff, make it all into one huge collection and then send it to randyhenderson.com and the Suwannee Democrat, too, since he's boycotting them. hah. that would give me great laughs. anyway, i hope he gets beat. i saw some people on the side of the road this morning holding his signs... if it would have actually been HIM, i may have "accidently" swerved and well... ok maybe not. ANYWAY. i'll TRY and be nice now.
      my class ring finally came in friday. it took forever. i like it alot though.
      ok now i'm home... and it's 4:15pm... needless to say i got interrupted while i was sharing my thoughts with you. as if you care. well now i've run outta things to write about so i will go. happy voting day.

    WAZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUUUPPPPP?!?!? guess where i just got back from? COZUMEL, MEXICO!!! ah! yeah, i just got back from a 4 day cruise to Key West and Mexico with my fam and JAMES and his mom and brother. It was amazing. I had so much fun. I really didn't want to get off that ship. It was a little piece of Heaven without a doubt. I could go on and on, but that could get boring. All I can say is that it was awesome. We had a cool waiter, his name was BUNTORO. just thought i'd tell ya. the staff there was from 27 different countries and spoke 14 different languages. hmmm VIVA AMERICA! hehe.  I got to perform in the guest talent show last nite. I sang Un Lugar Celestial and played my guitar... go figure. It was cool. the director guy introduced me as LUCY BRINSON. hah.
    Yeah, so obviously i'm back from camp. Camp was really fun 3rd session. I had a blast. really. Amanda and i bonded. isn't that right mander? actually, wednesday i'm going to gville to stay with her until saturday and we are gonna have some fun!
    My CD is still in the making. surprise surprise. i feel as if it's gonna take a lifetime for me to finish it. But my dear friend KATIE TUCKER has designed a cover for my cd and i'm sooo excited! i can't wait to see it. Also, Caroline is letting me record a song that she wrote and it is AMAZING! so that is really cool.
    school starts in 2 weeks. BAH. oh well, it's not like i have to do anything. my college classes won't even start for like 3 weeks into the school year, and those are my only 2 real classes, unless guidance decides to toy with my schedule, that would make me quite angry.
    james leaves august 18th. ahhh. this shall be difficult for me. you would have never guessed huh? exactly. well he, bryan, and i went furniture shopping a few days ago in tally. we were unsuccessful. bryan, you are a terrible driver. but that's ok, i'll still let you live with my boyfriend.
    ok well i'm bored with this now. so i will go. TTFN- tah tah for now. (yuck- our cruise director said that 50 billion times on the ship) ok well, later.

6-21-00: 4:21pm
    Howdy. Ok well i changed the hideous background. yippie. ok well i'm back from camp for the day. i was supposed to record at 3:15 today and that's why i'm home, but Mr. Michal forgot so we had to reschedule for Friday. but that's perfectly fine with me cuz it gave me time to take my film to get developed, and to just chill here at home. oh, i ended up having to stay at camp at night too, cuz mrs. richmond needed me to, so i said ok. i don't really mind at all, just the being away from james part, which actually isn't bad at all cuz ramsey invites him to play tennis with him and that way i get to see him so that's cool. plus i got to come home today. so anyway, geez i'm rambling once again. well i'm trying to decide what to do with this page, cuz i'd like to keep it on my page, but it's getting rather long, and duh... i know it's boring, but i like it. so i'm wondering if i should delete the old entries or keep them there or i dunno. oh well. oh yeah, MFUGE was awesome! i got to speak spanish with migrant workers cuz no one else in my group could communicate with them, so that rocked! and i met some really cool people like amie plott who is from georgia and she calls me scully. lol. she cracks me up. so i'm devoting a new page to her and scully. so look for that in the near future. ok well i'm outta here.

6-9-00: 3:38pm
    Ok, i'm waiting on james to call me. he's supposed to call me around 4:30 today. hope he doesn't forget. well anyway, tomorrow i'm leaving for mfuge at 6am and i'll be there (in Charleston, SC) until Friday the 16th. it's gonna be so much fun! but of course, i'm gonna miss james alot. also, i won't be able to work on my page for a while, cuz 2 days after i get back from mfuge, i'm going to camp dovewood for a week (but just during the day, so i can still see james). so there won't be too many, if any, updates until after all that is over. i still have 3 pic pages to add from my spanish trip and one or two pages from graduation. a few minutes ago, i just finished making the adventure landing pic page, so go check that out. i think i've worked on this page more this past week than i have in the 2 years i've had the thing. oh well, that should tell you how completely bored i am. but tomorrow my boredom shall end. for i will embark on the great journey of MISSIONFUGE 2000! i'm quite excited. well until i return, be safe, be good, and miss me! tah tah.

6-7-00:  11:09pm
    Wow. I really hate this background. I guess I will change it eventually and then no one will know how horribly dreadful it is. so, i think i'm kinda getting used to being away from james. i still miss him a lot. a whole lot. but i think i'm halfway sane now because he called me yesterday AND he emailed me TWICE today from paris! i was so excited.
    well since james has been gone, i've been quite productive in working on my page. i've added a whole lotta crap. like today i worked on it for 4 hours adding pic pages which is the same thing i did tuesday. so you better go see those pages. plus i added a love quotes page (awwww), yeah it made me miss james more. i guess that wasn't a very smart idea. so anyway i'm quite proud of myself.
    i think bryan thinks i'm extremely pathetic. who doesn't? he gets to be the recipient of all my "i miss james" complaints. amy used to be the recipient, but she has her own patheticness to worry about. she tells me that i shouldn't complain. this is what she tells me: "oh hush you have nothing to whine about. he is in a far away country buying you stuff and not even having fun b/c he misses you. how good is that? the person i miss #1 is a jerk, #2 i haven't talked to since i made out with him saturday, and #3 is only a phone call away but yet he would rather not call." i agreed with her and stopped my whining. she's stupid to miss him anyway. he treats her like crap 97% of the time, oh but DEAR GOD let's hold onto that 3%!!!! their relationship is such a cycle. poor amy.
    ok well i'm gonna shuddup now. sign my guestbook. it gives me thrills.
 

6-3-00: 11:25pm

Isn't this the absolute ugliest background you've ever seen? Actually it was one of the only ones I had saved on my hard drive. Don't ask me what I was thinking when I saved it. Anyways, I don't even know why I'm doing this stupid page cuz I always said I would never make something that I would have to update like alot.  and i'm tired of typing correctly so oh well. ok why am i making this page? cuz i'm bored out of my mind. why, you ask? cuz my baby is in europe. actually london at the present time. monday he'll be in paris and then thursday he'll be in rome. so i miss him. duh. and i'm at such a loss as to what to do with myself. I mean, ok usually i'm with him everyday like all day, ok not all day, but usually at least 3 or 4 hours a day on average. and then there's the icq time and stuff, and YES i'm pathetically obsessed with him, but that's ok cuz it's cool. anyways, did i mention i miss him? ok well i don't even know why i'm writing all this and posting it on my page for the whole world to read, but obviously, if you're reading this you must be about as hopelessly bored as i am. so it's justified i guess. we can relate huh? yeah well james emailed me tonite AND called me!!!! from london! i was extremely excited. ya know what? i think james is gonna enjoy all this crap that i'm writing about him, haha, he did actually ask me to devote one whole page just to him. i thought that was a little drastic, so maybe this will do. i mean, really, all this is is ranting and raving about how completely obsessed i am with him. this "entry" or whatever you wanna call it is actually turning into quite a novel. oh well. you're bored, right? then what the heck. well ok so james left on the 1st and is coming back on the 11th. however, i leave for mfuge on the 10th and won't be back until the 16th, meaning we won't be able to see each other for 16 whole DAYSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. *sigh* this is so frustrating. i don't know how to occupy my time. well i am talking to amy on icq. this is good. i even went to the beach today with her and nicole. that helped keep me busy. geez, i sound so pathetic. NEWS FLASH. i am. i don't care. so i'm totally in love with him, what do you expect? ok now i'm rambling. i'm hungry. and sleepy. at least i get my 5 hour nap tomorrow cuz it's sunday. wooooooo hooooooooooo! but i do have to get up early for church en la mañana. alright, i'm gonna stop now... you're welcome.
