The Topic of Great Randomness

[Glede]

omg, the guy i like just flirted with my BFF!

[Emi]

Glede: I'm sorry about that crush thing.... must I remind you about one liners?

That has happened to me before. There's plenty of fish in the sea... how old are you again?

Tuttle: Your grandpa is still in my thoughts. Hope all goes well.

I have to just scream this because I am super psyched...

I GOT IN TO UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS!

Yessss. Haha. I found out today. I didn't get to scream when I got the letter... I was a little sad about that. I told my mom and dad that if I got in I would scream.... but I didn't. Haha. I guess it's a good thing for their ears.

Oh and I found out about Young Americans. I didn't get in, but that's fine.

And... did I miss anything new? Have I mentioned already that I got into The Boyfriend? It's a musical at my local theater.

Well, that's all.

Dai.

Emi: congrats on getting into The Boyfriend/University of North Carolina School for the Arts! I've actually seen The Boyfriend before, as my high school put it on back when I was in the 8th grade. Good play.

Glede: one liner. All I'm going to say.

Tuttle: I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa, and will keep him in my thoughts.

Ok...Sea's about to majorly rant...

I am so sick of stupid boys who don't know what they want and end up hurting me in the process. It's not fair to me, and it's why I never opened up to anyone in high school like this. I was afraid of getting hurt. Then, I get to college, and a few months later, I meet a guy who I at first like as a friend, but it develops to be more than friends, but not boyfriend/girlfriend because he's afraid of being hurt. We open up to each other about a lot of things; he probably knows more about me than most of my best girl friends do, actually. A few months go by, and Valentine's Day approaches, and I sense that he's going to...not break it off, but try to go back to being just friends. Which I could have dealt with, if he'd been grown up enough to tell me. I try to go back to being friends, but stupidly I still have feelings for him that, after a month, still haven't gone away. When he realizes this, he gets all defensive about it and says he's just trying to avoid drama. Well, if he didn't want drama, he shouldn't have started anything between us; I told him I'm easily hurt, and he still hurt me. And it's just really frustrating, because I still want him around, even though I'm extremely mad at him. Too bad I never followed through on that plan from 1st grade of becoming a nun. Joking...I could never be a nun, I'm too confused about religion.

My spring break starts this friday, and goes for two weeks. I can't wait to get home, honestly, but I know that while I'm home, I'll be missing my friends from college. It's a bad paradox, and the one person from school who lives around me (the guy I talked about in the previous paragraph) is obviously not going to be calling me to hang out. But I miss my mom. A lot.

And I should get back to studying for my geology quiz...yay. I just want to go to sleep, but I still need to study more and take a shower, so it'll probably be another hour before I go to bed.


Edit: OH! Stormwind's post below this one reminded me of something, so while my roommate is snoring away (she snores pretty badly, it was nice when she was sleeping in other friends' rooms when she first broke her leg because then I didn't have to wear earplugs to bed! /tangent) I got a job for the summer! I can't really say where, because then everyone will know where I live (although I'm living there, since it's too far of a drive to make every day, but it's still close enough that I can come home whenever I want to) but I'll be working in admissions/ticketing. I'm excited about it, but a little nervous, because seriously? It's summer, and I'd rather live at home than in a "dorm" with a bunch of coworkers, and would rather be at home having fun with my friends. But money is money, and jobs are hard to find where I live...so I guess I should just be happy that I've got one, as long as I pass a background check, which I should be able to do...I don't even have any speeding tickets on my record or anything. (Although the previously mentioned boy said he could get me a job in guest services at the zoo he works at...but I probably shouldn't bring that up, if we're kind of taking a break from being friends. Though I could live at home if I worked at the zoo. I digress; I just like the zoo where I live, and really wouldn't mind working there. They have elephants and polar bears, my two favorite animals in zoos. And wolves, which are just cool animals. )

[Stormwind]

EMI: Congrats! Sorry about the Young Americans...

Sea: *HUGS* I'm sorry.... I know how hard it can be...

Tuttle: He's in my thoughts and prayers, as well as you and your family. I hope you all find peace, whatever the outcome.

This has been a crazy 4 days... I've worked 40+ in that time frame, and am exhausted... I sincerely hope that I have the next three days off, just to recover from this week...

Job hunt is still unsuccessful... not that I've really been looking all that hard with needing to have a bit more time in my current job of security, just to get the "experience" needed to fulfill the unspoken requirement for jobs of this nature... I really want a job...

Time to sleep, it's been a loooonnnggg day....

[kk]

Dai Stiho, everyone!

Tuttle & Seabiscuit: *major hugs*

I have nothing going on right now... At all... Hmmm...

Oh, has anyone ever been to www.randombuzzers.com? And is anyone a member there? They have fun stuff... Free books (you participate in activities to earn points first), and contests and such... I've been having fun there, recently.

And I'm also so excited! I guess my friend saw me geeking out in a bookstore, and she got me a Borders gift card, so I will have enough money to buy AWoM when it comes out! *Ecstatic*

Release party, anyone? Haha... I wish... I hardly know of any YW readers in my area; and most of the ones that have read it, aren't really reading them anymore, and would have to reread, and they don't want to. Wish they would....

Still, I'd only have about maybe three people coming to the release party... Still would be fun, though! We'd look weird; three people standing outside a Borders all night, waiting for the next book in a slightly lesser-known series... It'd be so worth it, though!

Hmmm... What would the bookstore say? What if we told them that only three people would show up? They'd laugh, and say no, probably...

Anyone want to join? It'll be funnn...

[Emmy943]

I LOVE cats! They are so adorable!!!!!![IMG]cats[/IMG]

[Jacq]

Good luck, Tuttle. You and yours have been in my thoughts this last week. Stay strong, and give us an update when you can.
(Is that too weird to say? I don't know you well but pain should never be ignored. Sorry if I offended.)

Sea... it sounds like you've got a bit of a rough transition ahead. I hope your break is going well. :3

kk... I'm too old and too Canadian for that website. Alas. But it reminds me (the points -> prizes thing) that I actually got PAID for doing those silly online surveys for once. $7! Woo! And I get to product test a new deodorant next week. Haha, the things I'll do for a few bucks.
Speaking of that, I'm about ready to launch a real-life honest-to-goodness website. It should be online in the next few weeks, and if it bombs I'll have only spent about $40 on total start-up costs...
ULTRA SPECIAL SNEAK PREVIEW

Be honest... would you pay $1 for my crummy drawings? (web address removed because I'm not advertising, just asking).

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Later today I get to stand outside of a grocery store selling Girl Scout Cookies with my little sister. That means standing behind a table for three hours saying "Would you buy to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?" And then when the people ignore you (which happens a LOT), saying "Thanks anyway!" Not to mention that there is snow on the ground, and it is 35 degrees out there. Then tomorrow I get to do it again. Then again on Saturday. I'd MUCH rather be planing my birthday party, or reading, or just about ANY thing else.

Oh, well. At least the snow is almost gone.

I just looked up at the calender and realized that today is March 12. Exactly two months to my 11th birthday!

[Tsakaki]

Tuttle: though I'm new and have never spoken to you, I'm still sorry to hear about your Grandfather.

Sea: Guys just suck, don't they? I never dated in high school either, I was shy and didn't know how to act around them. When my first (real) boyfriend broke up with me when I was 18, I was devastated and awfully depressed for a few months. BUT I can assure you, it does get better. Hang with your girlfriends and complain about men. It helps, and insane ranting provides great amusement for your friends. Eventually you'll start to feel better about it. I've learned from personal experience that dwelling on it doesn't end well.
I also would like to put forth an apology, in the case that my advice/commentary makes you uncomfortable or is unwelcome.

KK: I would totally at least consider it, but unfortunately I believe I'm not in you're area, as I've never seen a Borders in my life. Pity, no one in my area that I know read the series either.

Jacq: Yay for being Canadian! Good luck on your website!

[Emi]

Hungry and Stormwind: Thanks!!!

kk: I wish I could have a release party for AWoM. But I don't think there's enough people in my area to have one. Oh well. Good luck on yours.

jacq: Not really sure what I'd use your drawings for, but yeah, I would buy one for a buck. Haha. they're cute.

Daisy: I'm sorry that you have to stand out in the cold. Here in NH we're just starting to get our snow to melt. Even though it is still a little cold out... but then again, it's always cold here. We only get two and a half months of actual warm weather and that's about it.

Well. I'm in a rut. I have to talk to my boyfriend on Saturday about our plans for when I go to college. Because I reallyyy want to go to North Carolina, but he really doesn't want me to be that far away and also doesn't want me to put away my dreams at the same time. This is going to be the most emotional talk we're going to have because we have to evaluate on how we're going to deal with our relationship. I want things to work out... but he always get upset and depressed when I'm like gone for a week on vacation... so if he's like that for a week... imagine four years. I told him that I could still visit him on vacations. But I don't know. I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see on Saturday.

Finally am teaching my self some cool songs to play on the guitar. I can't believe I have time to do that too! Haha. I've been so busy lately, that I still don't have my quarter project done for my TV production class!! It's due the 27th... so hopefully I'll have something filmed by then. Haha.

Speaking of school. In my Musical Theater class we have a "student choice" project we have to do, meaning we get to choose the song we're going to sing from a musical. Any ideas for someone who can sing mezzo to soprano? Preferably modern. Haha.

Well that's all.

Dai.

Well, it's my eighteenth birthday! And I've got to say, this forum is VERY thorough. I sent me an email... And the main page is wishing me happy birthday. 0.o

Other than that, I've been busy. I'm starting my own webcomic, with an artist, and mousey as my editor. She gets to yell at me until I fix things. And I'm going to vegas for my birtday - missing a day of school. And then, atthe end of the month, I miss another day for a drama club trip to a Shakespeare festival. Go me!

[Emi]

Happy Birthday YR!!! 18!! I can't believe you get to go to Vegas! That's so exciting. I can't wait until I turn 18... which is in like five months. Hope you have fun!!



Gah! Blast this unbelievably big screen! Haha. So what else can I talk about to prevent having a one-liner... and to add to the conversations? Um. Well. I just bought myself two books today. Something my mom doesn't approve on. I'm supposed to be saving money for college... but I can't help it if I'm a shopaholic! Haha. It's horrible. I need to stay away from stores. If it weren't for my boyfriend agreeing on all the places I want to go to I wouldn't have just bought 24.99 dollars worth of books. And that was only 2. At least I had a gift card for 10 dollars... that has to be good right?

[Tsakaki]

Gift cards are always good! (Is equally guilty of shophalic tendencies.) 24.99 is actually really good, I have a friend that I've literally had to physically drag from the shelves at Chapters on numerous occasions just to keep her down to 3 books. (I'm also horrible for book buying, but I've got nothing on her.) I'm worse for manga, because they can be read in an hour, so I always want to buy a bunch of them at once.

[Cress]

Arg. I am having a horrible day. It wasn't horrible for most of it, but now all the annoying little bits seem to be adding up. We had a meeting today for who was going to be speaking at my graduation, and all the seniors with 4.0 or above GPAs were invited, then we got to vote on who would speak, but it just turned into a popularity contest and it was really obnoxious. Then we sat around for like an hour patting ourselves on the back about how amazing our school and our class are. I don't even like my school so it got way annoying. And beyond that the president of my school was trying to be all buddy/buddy and being really sexist in the process because he only ever talks to boys, and my principal was super obnoxious because he'd do stuff like ask what our advice to the administration was and then tell us why we couldn't do that, so he might as well just not ask us in the first place!!!!

Then I was working and I got done early and I called my parents to come pick me up and they both left their phones at home so I had to wait for like 30 minutes for them to get there. Very annoying.

THEN, facebook changed their format and it gives me a headache now. And the guy that I like, who I almost went out with a couple of times (circumstances got in the way) is going to Mexico for like a week, so that means I won't be seeing or hearing from him, which means I'm left kind of wondering where we stand once again.

I HATE HIGH SCHOOL. Sorry for the capitals. I'm frustrated. And I miss my ex. Which needs to stop.

In other news, I have college interviews tomorrow, I have to convince people to give me money! Hopefully they go well!!!

[Stormwind]

Cress: *HUGS* Good Luck, and all that with the College interviews. Sorry about all else, I hope your days have improved since you last wrote...

I just filed my taxes, at least I didn't have to pay... but it was annoying all the same... I hate this time of year....

*Hits head on wall* I wish I didn't have to work the night shift every night this week...
