reflections

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

since the new year is almost upon us, i thought it appropriate to reflect on my own accomplishments and failures in the year 2005…

i think the most significant thing i’ve done was moving into the central west end. i was pretty miserable living in fenton, and moving here to my new place in the cwe has really changed some things since i moved here in may.

i have looked for a new job, yet not as hard as i should be. i’d really like to work here in the cwe or somewhere nearby so that it would be a lot more convenient for me.

i’ve made quite a few new friends and strengthened some others…

…yet no relationships.

my last grandparent passed away.

i got a promotion recently at work.

i paid off my car.

i went to my first schwagstock.

i watched fireworks from my 21st floor balcony while polishing off two bottles of wine with justin….that was amazing. lol

i watched the st. louis police department circle over the north side in their police helicopter with the searchlight on…. several times.

i saw some crazy guy whack a priest-to-be in the head with a tennis racket right outside the cathedral.

i went on my first cruise…. and brought home tons of cheap alcohol.

my drink of choice switched from stoli vanilla and diet coke to rum and diet coke… only to conserve on money. lol

i’ve never had to pay for parking before… now i do.

i bought my first big christmas tree.

i bought my first plants and flowers to put out on my balcony… only to let them all die when it got cold. (there’s always next spring… lol)

i fell through my first (and hopefully last) coffee table.

…which caused me to finally buy a new coffee table and end tables.

i watched my first full season of nip/tuck.

i got drunk… i can’t even count that high…

i bought an ipod…

…and threw it in a drunken emotional state…

…yet it survived.

i bought my first laptop.

i watched cowboy bebop for the first time.

i drank my first full glass of vodka…and it was good! (sub zero rocks)

…i got completely wasted of three glasses of vodka…i think my limit is now two.

you think it’s weird that a lot of these include alcohol? hmmm… well i keep thinking of new things… so i may have to add to this later… but for now i think this is pretty good. i’m just bored of writing this blog now. lol

so to all of you… i hope you all have a great and happy new year! be safe. get yourself a dd (you know… since i’m always the ddd . may all your new years resolutions work out for the best. i’ll post mine up soon. perhaps tomorrow.

good night!

Mood : accomplished

new years eve eve

Friday, December 30th, 2005

well…it’s friday. new years eve eve. only one and a half days left in 2005.

i haven’t really accomplished much of anything this week that i’ve had off. my biggest feat, i think, was getting plastered. lol there’s not really a whole lot that i really wanted to get accomplished, so it’s ok that i didn’t… i’m just starting to get the feeling that i need to start being productive again. i guess it’ll come soon enough when next tuesday rolls around and i have to head back in to work.

it’s lunchtime now, so i’m gonna quit here. i’ll really have to have an interesting blog to post soon. i think these past few have been extremely boring. lol

Mood : awake

the king

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

i just saw a burger kind commercial while watching “i love the 80’s” on vh1… now i really don’t mind burger king… but those commercials! i just don’t like that stupid plastic king face guy. he’s fucking creepy and scary.

i just had to vent about that. i’m out.

Mood : scared

TIMMMMMMBERRRRRRRR!

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

i’m basically into the second day of my vacation from work… so far it’s been ok. not too exciting, not too dull. the guy i carpool with to work called me this morning a couple times…when i finally answered he asked why i wasn’t picking up my phone. i said, “cause i’m on my vacation, bitch!” lol he forgot.

i decided to take down my xmas tree today so i could put my other end table together. the tree came down a lot faster than it went up. heh

i did get my other end table up. i moved my couches back over a little (since i had to scoot them so far for my gigantic tree). i think it actually looks pretty good in here. now i just have to buy a nice dining room table. that’ll be the next piece of furniture i buy after i pay off the coffee table and end tables.

Mood : weird

christmas

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

i just finished reading some friend’s blogs that were posted today…. i think every one of them was pretty dreary. why should mine be any different? i shouldn’t even feel bad… except i do. i just can’t help it. sometimes i just don’t know how i should feel.

you know how sometimes you feel ridiculous about how you feel about some things? and although you think that maybe it’s really ridiculous, but maybe a part of it isn’t so ridiculous? it doesn’t matter anyways, i guess.

Mood : melancholy

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

i just wanted to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday.

Mood : sick

life expiring

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

i haven’t done a damn thing today. i cleaned up the kitchen a little from my little get together….but i still have stuff to do with that. i’ve been lying in my bed feeling like i’m going to die. my throat hurts, my head hurts, and i’m achy all over. so feel sorry for me. hehe and come make me some chicken noodle soup.

why is it that i have to get sick right now? blah. i really hope i get better soon, otherwise i’ll be really grumpy.

shattered things and sadder moments

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

so. i finally got the gallery on my web site fixed. it was giving me a really hard time. and the moment you’ve all been waiting for……..here are the pics of my totally and utterly smashed coffee table!

linky linky

i’m on vacation from work for a week now…definately looking forward to that. although it’s not looking very good here at the beginning. i’m sick. my throat hurts, my head hurts, i’m coughing up yucky green goo, and i want my mommy. :~( so hopefully i feel better very soon.

on a sadder note…it seems like a lot of people are moving away or just have the possibility of moving away soon. there’s brad, who is moving to new mexico…lil jeffrey, who may be moving to cali…..chris, who’s moving to chicago…..k-ris, possibly moving to tulsa…..and pierre, who went back home to france. it’s kinda sad seeing a lot of good friends moving away. the only good side to that is that now i have a free place to stay in lots of different places! no, but seriously… it’s really difficult to meet really great people. i will miss you all very much. you’ll have to come back to visit, and i’ll have to definately go visit you. *hugs & smooches*

family matters

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

ugh. i’m tired. i just got back from my aunt’s house…i celebrated xmas on my mom’s side today. what is it about family that makes you so damn tired at the end of the day? lol i guess it’s just the whole routine of things.

i got a lot done this weekend that i needed to, but i still feel like i didn’t do a whole lot. friday i was off work, so i went shopping for xmas presents all day. i got most of them bought…still missing a couple, but i think i know what i’m looking for. i suppose i’ll finish them up tomorrow night. friday night i drank at home w/ justin for a bit…we decided to go out to novak’s…we really weren’t feeling the atmosphere there, so we left and went to amp. that wasn’t too bad…’cept they closed 30 mins after we got there. i took justin home after that and ended up meeting up w/ chris and nick. we all went back to my place and drank some more. that’s about the end of that.

saturday justin called me…we went shopping so that he could finish his xmas shopping up. i was looking for this damn barbie movie for my niece…i swear, this thing is hard as shit to find. i think i could find an xbox 360 faster than this movie. lol i didn’t do too much saturday night.

i soooo can’t wait for friday. i’m ready for my vacation to start. i think i’m looking forward to new year’s…but i don’t know. i just wish…well… hell i don’t know. hopefully i’m just too drunk to remember anything.

Mood : tired

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

the oh-so-mysterious santa hat and other miscellaneous tidbits

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

well… i haven’t posted in a little while. i’ve been pretty busy with school and all. i probably shouldn’t be posting now…i still have like a million journal entries to write by tuesday night. oh well…i needed a break. lol

i finished decorating my xmas tree. it looks all purdy. let’s just say that target should like me a lot right now, with all the money i spent there decorating the damn thing. hehe i’ll post a picture somewhere soon. i’m too lazy to get the pics off my camera right now. i also bought some blue icicle lights for my balcony railing…so if you’re cruisin down lindell in the evening soon and pass by my building, look up to see if you can see them. i’m the only apartment with blue lights on my balcony. yay!

i purchased a new coffee table and two end tables today. they’re quite cute, if i do say so myself. i pick them up on tuesday, so i don’t have them yet… i think they’ll fit in nicely in my apartment, though. maybe i’ll put a pic of them up as well after they’re here.

i still have quite a bit of xmas shopping to do. i’m planning on doing the majority of that next friday since i’m off. saturday i’ll finish all that up since i’m supposed to go with justin to finish his xmas shopping up. i think i know what i’m going to be buying most people, so hopefully it isn’t a big nasty mess. lol

friday night justin and i went to tgi fridays downtown to grab some grub. that turned into getting some drinks as well….which then turned into a trip to the zone….and in turn, an escapade at novaks….then to feces (please don’t ask why we decided to go there, of all places)….then to mcdonalds on hampton at 4:07 am, which had a sign on the drive thru stating that they were temporary closed until 4:15 am…..so we waited until 4:20 ……and they were still closed….so we said fuck it, went to jack in the box, and got some food there. somehow i ended up with a santa claus hat in my back seat… i think i may have run over santa. lol i really don’t remember the details of the final part of the evening too much. i remember justin and i trying to get kicked out of feces….i remember justin yelling at the bartenders telling them that the bar sucked because of those silly drink dispensing machines… lol yay for being drunk.

does every blog of mine contain something about a drunk escapade? hmmm…

tick tock tick tock

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

omg… i’m tired of studying and writing stupid journal entries. that was the extent of my sunday. but at least i feel that i was productive today.

i didn’t really go out much this weekend, which was perfectly fine. it was a little more relaxing that way. friday night i drank with justin. it wasn’t too bad. it was kinda nice to just sit back a chill a little. saturday night i went to see wicked with my friend william. i hadn’t seen him in a while, so it was cool to chill with him for a night. wicked was pretty good. i hadn’t read the book or heard too awfully much about it (except for all those songs that i hear every. single. time. that i am at the cartel…… and if you think i’m joking…..i’m not. lol) (well on another side note… i’d have to say the songs are pretty evenly distributed between wicked and rent…. but that’s a whole other blog…). anyways, i enjoyed wicked. afterwards, i just hung out with william for a bit. we went and picked justin up and chilled at my place again for a bit. all in all a pretty relaxing weekend. i need those every once in a while. the rest of my weekends this year are pretty booked up. thank goodness the year is almost over. lol

it’s my last full week of classes this week. i have a final on thursday as well as next monday. then this semester is all over. *whew* wish me luck on my finals! i probably won’t be able to blog until at least next weekend…. or whenever i get bored and decide to be distracted this week… lol

later!

nearing the end of the year

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

so it’s thursday.Â it’s also a school day.Â stupid algorithms class.Â Â however…it also happens to be my friday!Â w00t w00t.Â lol

i have a lot of vacation days left at work, so i’m taking off tomorrow so i can get started writing my 25 pages of journal entries that i should have been working on the whole semester.Â i’ll probably walk down to the cartel to work on some stuff…so you all have to stay away!Â lolÂ i’m hoping to knock out at least 10 pages or so tomorrow.Â so much for an enjoyable day off.

i’ve been really tired recently… i think it’s just the stress of dealing with the holidays and money issues, school and finals, and work.Â this time of year usually always ends up being really stressful for me for one or more of those reasons.Â i’ll get through it, though.Â i always do.Â all i can say is that i’m ready for my week off at the end of the year.Â yay for being drunk for 11 days straight.Â lolÂ i’m trying to budget for whatever it is that i may be doing over the course of that week off.Â i’m sure some craziness will happen.

it kinda sucks that christmas eve and christmas fall on a saturday and sunday this year.Â i usually stay at my mom’s christmas eve night so that i can be there christmas morning to do the whole gift thing.Â after that i usually leave to spend christmas day with my dad.Â i may do the same this year, since there’s like 51 other saturdays in a year.Â it just sucks that it has to fall like that.Â oh well, i’m sure that i’ll end up going out with justin and cass and whoever else on christmas night.Â it’s always nice to unwind after spending all that time with the family.

well…. only two more ethics classes… one of which is a final.Â and only two more algorithms classes after tonight… also one of which is a final.Â so really only two more real classes left.Â i can’t wait.Â hopefully i do ok in both of them.Â i’d be overjoyed as long as i get a C.Â lolÂ i’m so ready to be out of these classes.

this blog is getting kinda long and out of hand… so i’ll stop here.Â i’ll try to write again this weekend sometime… probably sunday if i do.Â hopefully the next blog doesn’t involve a shattered coffee table.Â lol
