well lets see....
* im starting to do some freelance work yay!
* im so happy with my wonderful husband, as always :)
* moving to ct, which should be good for both of us- more room, more amenities.
things seem to be working out...
 
My life has damn near done a 180. Certain event took place that caused me to re-evaluate my life and what I want to do with it. I desided to take a year off from school while I figure out what I am changing my major to. Being a doctor suddenly looked really shitty, despite the money. My parents were really supportive for a change. They thought my taking a break from school was a good idea, it shocked the hell out of me. The week after school got out, I found an ad in the paper for a two month paid training class with a job for certain at the end.Its a electrical construction job(powerlines) which from what I head is dangerous, but they say that they have a really good safety record, and it pays really good, $20 an hour, plus lots of over time, and it has me traveling all over the south east, so I am excited about it. My brother transfered to the school I was going to, so he's moving in with me, but unfortunately I won't be home much to see him. But its better than him being 600 miles away all the time. I quit smoking, slowed down on drinking, and started working out agine. This is the best I've felt since I was 16. It seems my life has calmed down quite a bit and its great. Thats about all.I hope everyone else's life is going good.
 
I backed my truck into pole Saturday August 17th. My girl told me early this morning August 27, that she's a week late. I mad about my truck, not mad about my pending parenthood. I am scared of my pending parenthood. But I am 99.9% sure I will be fine and be able to care for my family. I will keep you updated if I can.
 
*i just started back at the university fo central floor.i.da. my cousin and i carpool together, so it's nice to always know at least one of the 35,000+ people there. =)
*i'm also working super hard right now waiting tables...blech. double blech.
*i'm trying to decided whether i want to keep the most perfect guy ever so close to me...or try to figure things out for myself some more. hmmm...
*and in the middle of september i get to take a nice vacay in the outerbanks with a whole bunch of funnish people. might try to bring boi to the darkside and get him to indulge in psychoactives.
and, i'm headed up to athens for the U of G homecoming game in mid-october. damn...i <3 athens!
and you, miss dags?! what's going on?
hugz to carrie! <3
 
I'm going to the theatre with my mum this weekend .... I love my mum :D
And in 4 weeks I'm heading off on a 10-day holiday in Vanuatu! whoohooo!
Started walking in the mornings before work (see above -bikinis, yikes)and I can't believe how fantastic I feel physically. Spring is in the air, white flowers are popping out on the trees and this morning the sky was light pink as the sun rose at 7am and I just went ahhhhhh......
Life is good :)
 
Oh, lawd, life just continues on it's chaotic little path. Lost the job I love because my boss found out I was underage for serving (alcohol) in Utah. Lost the "perfect" boy I was dating because he's still hung up on the ex. I'm drinking just a little too much, and making just a few too many mistakes. Mom and Dad are kicking me out (after being back home for only 2mos) because they can't handle me partying and whatnot. But, on the upside, I have an interview tomorrow at the best restaurant in the city, and after nearly 3 weeks of no contact, "perfect" boy finally called and wants to take me out this weekend. AND as of today I'm 13 days sober. It's kinda like a roller coaster, isn't it!
 
Trying to make a decision as to whether or not I apply to move from temp to perm at my job. I like the sector I work in, I like my actual job, and there's so much I could do to improve the job and the work I do, so many projects I could initiate that would look great on a CV. But I don't feel any support from management for the direction I want to take the job, and our HR department sucks and are messing me around.
I've pretty much decided to quit and find a job where I can learn more (I'm pretty much the most knowledgeable person about my discipline, and I don't know much).
Sort of seeing a girl, but things are progressing incredibly slowly and she's decided that, as she used to be "a slut" (her words) she's going to the complete opposite extreme.
Most of my friends have left town to work overseas. I'm planning on moving to London in about 6 months.
Feeling generally depressed and in need of some spare serotonin.
 
Started playing on a softball league-I think I'll play sports all year, better then watching TV, partying or whatever else I seem to do. Feels so good to be active- plus my team is called the Beach Stoners woo hoo ;)
Still working the same job, It's comfortable here and I don't mind coming to work everyday
I've been kind of a quiet haven't been returning or making phone calls- nothing is wrong, I just don't have much to say. I want to concentrate on what I need to do and it will probably last for a while.
Moving September 15th with a friend whos helping me out for a while. Looking forward to my own room, kitchen and peace-
Life is somewhat boring but better then full of drama :)
 
Hiya girlie. :)
Me? Well, I'm pretty boring lately! But I'm happy, so the boring part is perfectly acceptable.
*Still in school, full time. Taking a bunch of upper-level chemistry classes right now, which I adore. I'm still such a nerd! Oh, and I'm learning to speak Russian. I needed a language, and I am so over anything based on Latin after 11 years of romance languages. I love it, Slavic truly is sexy. :)
*Working at the same hospital, in the same ER. It's been years, so the job isn't nearly as challenging as it once was, but the monotony is okay too, as long as the paychecks still roll in on time.
*In about four months, or right after Christmas, Aly and I are moving to Southern California!! We're shooting for the Venice/LA area, although it will come down to where the jobs and apartments are. I am trying really hard not to wish the time away, but it's hard with all that perfect weather and people out there waiting for us!
Things have been so quiet in my head, I'm just doing all I can to enjoy that while it lasts. I'm happy with who I am, where I am, and where I'm going. I really don't know how I could wish for anything more right now, except maybe to be independently wealthy, but there'd be no challenge in that. We're almost done clearing up the 'mess' from last fall (Poopie, you know what I'm talking about). In just a month or so, that will be nothing more than a file in an office somewhere and a memory, and that will be such a big relief to us all.
I love, I'm loved. Life is good.
 
overall life is going very well
i hate my job but thats okay cuz there is only 11 days left of going in. And the two paychecks that i'll be getting from the last month of working here will be used entirely for pleasure.
i'm pretty lonely and life is pretty boring but soon i'll be moving back to OC with my friends and that will be excellent
i'm going home soon!!! yay! i haven't been to the biggest little city in a very LONG time and i miss it
so really right now life kinda sucks, but in two weeks everything will be GREAT! wheeee!
 
* got my po off my arse
* having a good time doing my c service, having kids wanting to learn photoshop etc is great :)
* crow and fizzygirl are staying at our apt this weekend! and we'll be seing aly and dags as well yippie! :D
 
NOTHING!!!!!!!!
I live In Anderson and there is nothing to do. EVEN worse is that I go to Frankton and a sucky little highschool that has nothing in the damn thing to do anywhere in either of these cities.
 
Started school yesterday which I'm not too happy about
Just found out that there is a guy that I work with who keeps asking other people who work with us to hook me up with him, I am really really not interested in him.
I'm becoming a lot closer to some select people in my life right now which I really like, it's time for a change in scenery. It's actually perfect since me and my boyfriend broke up recently I now have time to go out with friends I haven't been able to because I had no time. I finally feel like I have my life back and I can make the decisions that I want to make and not have to worry about how they affect someone else and make someone else feel. I can finally just worry about myself...It's very refreshing
 
Right now I would have to say my life is hard but rewarding.
I have a great job. Its a job lots of other people my age are envious of. At times it can be tedious, but when I manage to be organised and motivated, it challenges me and keeps me interested all day long. Its is also well paid, which I am grateful for.
My well paid job has allowed me to pay off some big debts. These debts were left up to me to deal with when my ex moved overseas. At times I am very angry with her for skipping town knowing I would have to pay these off on my own. But mostly I just try to chalk it up to experience. Maybe one day she will pay me back, or maybe she won't. I refuse to give myself an ulcer stressing about it!
I am in therapy and on anti-depressants. I know that the root cause for this is the abusive upbringing I had at the hands of my stepfather. My mother refuses to acknowledge any abuse ever occurred - despite the fact that she was put in hospital by this man. I am angry at her, and sad for her, at the same time.
^^ In addition to this, my sister is currently sueing our local government for damages as a result of an accident several years ago which has left her with medical problems which will last her the rest of her life. These are too numerous and complex to list - the result of a major head injury. She also suffers depression as a result.
Her court case has been set for November this year. I know for a fact that the government's solicitors are going to attempt to prove my sister's depression is a result of our abusive upbringing (by her father/my stepfather). They are going to destroy her case for damages and rip my family apart in the process. I have been subpoenaed - I am going to have to answer questions about whether or not my sister and I were physically abused, and I am going to have to tell the truth. I really dont know whether I am strong enough to go through it. But I dont really have much choice.
I had my first ever HIV test last week. I get the results on Monday. I dont seriously expect a positive result, but want to hear the word 'negative' just so I can breathe a sigh of relief and stop thinking about it!
I have the most beautiful girlfriend ever. I love her more and more everyday. We have been together 6 months on Monday. I wanted to mention this last because no matter how hard the above things seem, how sad they make me, her constant love for me and the joy she gives me never fail to make the 'bad stuff' pale into insignificance. I am so grateful.

I'm in a bit of a rut, kinda.
I have abandoned most of my uni assignments and lectures lately.
I'm playing a lot of guitar, which is good though, because I'm coming up with somne okay sounds. The lyrics are going on paper, perhaps not as often as past weeks, but it's better to write nothing than write shit.
I met this 26 yr old and she works at a strip club (Crazy Horse) as a waitress. We got on really well and I want to meet her again so I can ask her out for a drink.
I'm probably smoking too much pot and taking acid too often.
I'm broke, with a bit of green, two tabs of acid and a couple of needles.
But hey, life's pretty good, I'm happy and I've got reasons to smile.
Peace.
 
I've been very depressed lately and cant exactly figure out why I think it has something to do with the fact that Im turning 27 in a few days and I have decided that I No longer wish to speak to my Dad ever again, I spoke to my Grandfather the other day I have alot of respect for him he has always in the past made sense out of things that didnt make sense to me So he tried to explain to me that having all this anger and refusing to speak to My Dad is not good. But it's like I explained to him The Man offers NOTHING positive for me Not one damn thing My Grandfathers Father left when He was 13 so He tried to explain to me that going through life without a Father isnt a good thing to do I Really feel at this point in my Life that I have No use for the Man He is about as worthless to me as titties on a Bull plus I warned my Dad ten Years ago that if he kept being an Asshole that there would come a point where I wouldnt want anything to do with him That time has come now and I feel like I Warned him all he ever did was laugh and pat me on the head like I didnt know what I was talking about I admit Im a little sad (of course) He's my Dad But Im Done forgiving and dealing with people who constantly want to add nothing but negative things in my life!!
I got my old Job back I was suprised how quickly they took me back I really expected to have to do some begging but They gave me my job back with No hassle Unfortanetly I had to start back at "Inside Sales" but I guess beggars cant be choosey. I feel confident that I will get to where I want soon So Im just going through the Motions and doing what Im supposed to, Unfortanetly even with all the positive things that can come from working there I still am not happy and really have no Motivation to prove myself!
Im still talking to Erica but I can tell thats not going anywhere Sometimes I feel she is only using me for her benefit and I have enough problems with out going out of my way to improve someone else's life She talks constinatly about how she wants to do this and wants to do that but she never does Much for herself it always seems as if she wants me to help her all the time and Im tired of doing that
Im supposed to go to City Club tonight to hang out with some friends and see Ritchie Hawtin spin but Honestly Im not feeling very good and think Im just going to stay home There's supposed to be a bunch of Bluelighter's there as well. a few I dont have any desire to meet for a number of reasons one because of all my past bad experiences with meet-up's and Im in such a depressed mood that Im sure I probably wouldnt be fun to be around! well I guess thats it for today.
 
It never ceases to amaze me as to how much my life is like a roller coaster. The last post in the prior version of this thread was me in complete dispair, and now that I've come to terms with everything, life is slowly but surely starting to look up again.
I'm so pleased to have Thornton be a part of my life right now.. He has made such a positive impact on my life, and he always makes me look at the good things in any given situation. Whereas I'm the one that normally pushes to know where we stand as a couple, I could really care less with this, merely because I'm so happy just to be with him.
I'm supposed to be going to Philly this weekend, to see friends that I haven't seen since my early exit out of Temple last April. I'm so excited, however, the fact that $80 was stolen from me may hinder my trip.
My dad called me a few nights ago to apologize. I was in work at the time and never called him back. My mom called the next morning to talk to me, and they said I can use the car on two conditions: One, I keep going to see my therapist; and two, that i submit for drug testing. I have extremely mixed emotions on this. On one hand, a car would make my life a little less complicated. On the other hand, my parents will have control over me yet again. Its not so much that I object going to my shrink, its the drug testing. And while I'm not regularly using drugs, what about if I want to? I'm just so tired of the carrot and stick routine with my parents.
Well, i'm back off to bed for some sweet early afternoon dreams... ;)
 
^^^^
your roller coaster life may level out if you quit drugs for a while... it cant hurt to try :)
 
Update for anyone interested. It turns out my girl is not pregnant after all she started her period this past Friday 8/30. I was relieved, but a little sad at the same time, because I do want to have at least one child, but not right now this instant, but you never know what can happen. Oh yeah I am still pissed about my truck.

My ex-friend from before (last thread) who ran off leaving a pile of rental debt, sent round some thugs to try and scare me and my pregnant fiancee. She hid next door and called the police while I stalled them, they wanted drugs from me but didn't think that I had given up because we were expecting a child.
They were caught 2 minutes after leaving our house when I gave a quick description of them & their car. Told my ex-friend they got caught & were being investigated for gang connections and that I'd drop her name if she didn't pay. She did.
Case closed.
