I'm so pumped for this break.

I've got plans to take trips, and plans to do a lot of fun stuff. And today has just been a really good day so far. PS did I mention I am in love with the food co-op? They have amazing cappucino... and amazing vegan muffins.... Me gusta. Gracias por Amy for introducing me to that amazing concept.... ahh... also me gusta JULES coffee place.

Yo soy aburido. Is that why I'm writing in spanish? IT could be. I'm feeling random today.

And it's going well.

And I don't have much more to say about that. So I'll let it be.

PS. My friends, i love you. You all stick it out through so much, and you need to be loved on b/c you all give me unconditional love and support. Y'all amaze me. Big hearts....

Hit snooze at least 3 times…. Oh my...I’m exhausted. Went to class, took a nap in the same building before even going home. Decided not to take the job at Cranky Paul's Gyros. Talked to mom – she said “why put Dracula in charge of the blood bank.” Good plan. Plus I’m too exhausted to even go in for the training. I’m looking forward GREATLY to a break. But I got hired back to Home Instead Senior Care… which is basically visiting with the elderly… I didn’t really like it too much, but it was damn easy. I just had a hard time with the uhm… adult diaper changing… *laugh* I felt there were jobs that would directly lead to a career that would benefit me better. But maybe it’ll be good to get to relax and just sit with them and talk… and get paid!

Plus I want the break. And J is a huge support. I can’t believe he’s still around… and that he cares about me for who I truly am. That never ceases to amaze me. He definetly defies the all the “men will just leave, men never understand, no one can love me, no one will take the time to stick around, men are shit, I won’t be respected, they just want sex” views that I hold…. and having the friendship base.... It only makes it that much more comfortable. Like hanging out with A, A or A(ha, they all have A names...)...any of my female friends... but different....

and knowing that people see potential in me… (which I did before) but this sort of disproves the "fact" that I’m worthless and unlovable." At least making me THINK about that fact….And evaluate myself and my worth as a person. which duh,  I should be able to do on my own... but i often forget to do that.

BLAH. I didn’t want to be someone to connect deeply with someone else. I’m used to cutting everyone off… and I can’t cut him out because I know him too well. His dad died, we’ve been close over mutual losses. And he’s a very calm person.  And AMOS. I’m close to her. I can’t help it. She’s awesome, and such a good person. We’re practically together 24/7.  AUGGIE.  the bitch slaps with a hug are necessary. keep them coming. PS, don't pick a gross color for your bridesmades 20 years down the road, I better look damn good.... ;)

I'm excited to Christmas shop this weekend!!!! Usually I kind of dread it  because of lack of funds, and I worry about what to get... but I have ideas... and I'm really excited. Christmas will be 8 months since my dad died, how weird is that? Kind of an odd thing. But it's also CHRISTMAS. and then on Jan 21... i turn 21!!!!

I think I'll get a tattoo. I don't think hitting up the bars will be a good idea for me  and that's ok. I can make it unique. Thus the hotel rental.... and yes. if you're reading this, you're invited

Well. Let's see. The weekend definetly turned out differently than I expected. My Thursday was a check in at Gunderson,  Then the weekend hit a sudden upswing.
I went to the formal dance with a good friend of mine... and the dance was you know, an interesting dance, But this dear friend of mine definetly brightened my weekend.

It's difficult for me to understand that sometimes others see things in us that we don't see in ourselves. Anything, strengths, energy, beauty, some inner spirit, strength... things that we give up on, or just overlook. I get up and see the things I'm doing wrong. Others don't always see the same thing.
And if this got the best of me, I'd be exactly where I was at the end of last year, completely incapable of being a successful student, much less a successful person (oh yeah, I should put that FIRST) well, wait, successful... define success, how about a happy person? That won't happen if I lost it.

When Gabe's parents left today for her birthday, her dad simply grabbed my face in his hands and said "take care of yourself, kiddo."
I understand what he means. I know what people mean by that. Get a grip on this thing. Or it's gonna kill you. It's gonna take you down.
Not an uplifting thought. Still. I always think of the communications theory of "strange loops" what people get stuck in. Not willingly. Not by concious choice. Just out of pure habit, and irregular conditioning. 

i can't remember what sheryl's word for it is. But it was a cool one.
And the weekend definetly had an amazing twist.
Thank you hon for giving me faith again. Good timing, is all I can say.
