So, I'm checking out jobs and eating the last piece of ice cream cake that was in the fridge at my mom's office. I hate job hunting. I'm financially unstable right now and I don't know how I'm going to keep up with bills. And, now I sometimes I wonder why I just had to get this tattoo on my wrist. Am I going to be judged at a new company because of it?

Anyways, I just thought I'd rant a little bit while I finish this cake and have a cigarette.

I quit my job and broke up with my boyfriend.. I feel like shit.

Fri, 23 May 2008 18:43:16 GMT

It has been almost 2 years since I've written a real post in this journal. I just finished reading all my old posts and it's weird reading what was going on back then. I mean, so many things have changed since then and you just don't realize it. It's almost scary to actually realize how fast time goes by.

So, I figured that I would give a (not so) brief summary of what I've been up to since 2006. I believe I left off working at the dermatologist office. I think I managed to work there 5 months before I finally walked out on them. The rules and regulations there were ridiculous. But the sad part about walking out on this place was that I waited until an 1 hour before I had to leave. I mean, I could've at least walked out of them in the morning. Whatev. From there I began working for The Bombay Company as a part time sales associate. I worked there 2 or 3 months before I became "manager-in-training."

One morning, while opening, I went to the food court to get breakfast. I was standing behind this super cute guy who I was just dying to talk to, but didn't. When I got back to the store, I decided to write my number on a piece of paper and run it back to the food court to give it to him. I went up to him and was like "here you dropped this" and walked away. He called me later that day and we ended up going out for a month. Yeah 1 month. I had the biggest crush on him but he was just not that into me. I think it took almost 7 months to get over him. Stupid, right? I know.

Anyway, I worked with this girl "L" who I became friends with and we started hanging out and we'd go drinking and dancing. I wasn't much of a drinker except these few months that I hung out with her. Then, out of the blue, she decided that she didn't want to be friends anymore because "she was tired of being my social liason." I'm sorry, bitch what? I later found out a little more of the story: two of her guy friends claimed I slept with them. Which was so not true - and on top of that, I never found out who those dipshits were.

So I began "dating" a few different people at the same time. One guy was the bouncer at the bar I spent like $800 in a month at, but after a couple weeks I began to read "HERPES" on his forhead and I ended that before it started. I also dated another winner. He worked at the same resturant as my best friend. Supposedly, he broke up with his girlfriend to be with me, but after 10 days, I was just like, "no thank you, you liar." I found out a few days later, that she was preggers. But.. the worst part? He started calling me again after she miscarried. The 3rd guy I was seeing was my favorite. At first I was not interested in him at all, but after spending more and more time with him, he grew on me. We started having problems because I didn't communicate that I had been seeing other people too, and when he found out this information from someone else, he wasn't too happy. There was definitely no trust in that 9 month relationship we had. We broke up in Atlanta, GA because he asked if I was in love with him and I said no. Okay.

I quit Bombay Company around April of 07 and started working as a receptionist for an appliance distributor. It sucks but it's been the longest job I've had. I moved out of my parents house (again) and into my own 1 bedroom apartment. Despite the building being over 100 years old and looking like an insane asylum, it has a nice neighborhood and the location isn't bad. I'm currently dating this guy I had the biggest crush on in high school and we even cheated on our significant others with one another. Call it fate.

I, myself, am still sort of the same: I haven't dyed my hair in years. I still wear black rimmed glasses. I'm still selfish and self-absorbed. I still take a lot of naps. I still have issues with being "secretive" and "not communicating" enough, but I'm making a vast improvement. Change only happens when you want it to - I learned that when I was 15. I got a tattoo of a diamond on my wrist 12/9/07 symbolizing Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Diamond is also my birthstone - but the point of it was, when things are getting tough, to look down and "shine on."

I..

NO MORE MYSPACE AT WORK! :(

Sat, 22 Jul 2006 03:21:46 GMT

oh journal, how i neglect you so.
so i have been working at a dermatologist's office for the past month. i had to get out of that dentist office, it was driving me insane. it's unfortunate, however, where ever you go, the unprofessionalism that some people have. it's ridiculous. seriously, get your shit together people! anyways, matt and i are celebrating our 2 (on and off) year anniversary (mostly on!) this month. i'm seeing him this weekend in raleigh and next weekend in myrtle beach. i love spending time with him. he's like my valium.. he keeps me collected. he's planning to move to here within the next 6 months or so, and we are thinking about looking for places to move into together. i think this time around will be much better than the first, because we know each other better. we're used to each others habits and all that other stuff that comes with living with your significant other. so it's around that time where i think about those people that i haven't seen or spoken to in close to a year. i just wonder about them. i'm learning to want the best for people, no matter how our relationship was. whether it was just a friendship or it was more, but i do still think about these people and wish that i could get in contact with them. i know they've got their life, but it's nice to hear it from them. it's unfortunate though when you try to contact these people and it seems like they fell off the face of the earth. for godsake pick up your phone once in a while ya know? but whatever, like i said, i just hope the best for them. so.. bonnie, the bff, is having a baby girl that she's naming laila raine. i'm so excited. she's almost 6 months pregnant and you can finally tell that there is a baby in there! i'm so happy for her.

i love those who i love.

Fri, 19 May 2006 02:42:23 GMT

after a little bit of drama in life, matt and i have decided that we needed to take a trip to the beach for a weekend of relaxing. yes! oo, i should take pictures to put them on facebook! fabulous. in other news, i bought a new bathing suit after realizing that i had the same one since i was 16. 5 years, wow. the b. suit is so bomb, i didn't even realize it had been that long. let's see.. what else? the bff's pregnancy seems to be going well. she'll be here this weekend while i'm gone ;\ and i still need to find her birthday gift. well, there's nothing more i feel to report, so there's an update.

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 03:16:22 GMT

i'm super stoked about this weekend. i turn 21 on easter sunday. i'll be in south carolina, spending time with my favorites. i haven't seen matt since the nine inch nails concert and i must admit, i miss him dearly. i get to see my best best friend, bonnie, who is 2 months pregnant! i'm going to be a godmother! and i'm also getting shitfaced with my girls, danielle and vannessa. i am going to have a great four days! don't forget to call me to wish me a happy birthday!

today, an old friend of mine lost his week old baby. him and i haven't talked in months due to.. lack of judgement. but, when i heard this news i could breathe in, but not back out. to lose something so important so quickly is haunting. it's one of those situation where a) you don't know how to react, especially when you haven't talked in months due to morals and b) because it makes you think. cb & tn, i am so sorry for your loss.

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 05:46:36 GMT

PS: the nine inch nails show last night was fucking.. awesome, beautiful.. a dream come true. SERIOUSLY, don't laugh. i danced my ass off, looked cute as hell.. all in all, a good fucking show. the opening act was bomb too, definitely going to burn that cd. word? word.

ex-girlfriends are fucking leeches.. it takes one to know one, i guess? but nonetheless, certain girls are just wired to manipulate the crap out of the ex, which is really inconvenient for the current flavor of the week.. or month(s)

Thu, 17 Nov 2005 02:37:03 GMT

undeleted.

oh yes, an update

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 20:13:23 GMT

matt and i went to engine down's last show last night. he was super stoked about it, and i was too actually; the opening bands that played weren't too bad, either. today, we are celebrating his and my brother's birthday, with music and some margaritas. however, i am upstairs with my margarita burning cds. i've had to use my mom's computer ever since i moved back here from south carolina, so it's taking a long time to even download the cd to the computer. good thing i've got a drink to pass sometime.

school started two weeks ago; i have to get to class 5 to 8 minutes before the class starts just so that i could get a good seat. the class is only once a week, but nonetheless, i'm in school. i'm working almost full time so it's difficult to take multiple classes, especially at night.

tomorrow is "staff appreciation day" so i have off as well. matt's staying until wednesday so i'm trying to think up something random and fun to do. i've got a couple things in mind, but i won't know until tomorrow.

Fri, 02 Sep 2005 03:20:48 GMT

dear piece of drama,
why can't you just disappear from our lives? i don't appreciate it.. sibling or not, piss off.

Thu, 11 Aug 2005 02:08:32 GMT

ok, what's so fucking hard about informing someone when their license is suspended?

no, really?

abandon kittens in need of homes.

Sun, 17 Jul 2005 03:44:55 GMT

a box of kittens were dropped off on the side of my road and they need homes! i haven't seen them yet, but i'm going to rescue them to take care of them until i find them homes. if you are interested please let me know.. i'll update tomorrow upon saving them to give more detail as to colors and sizes.. but please contact me at:

gloom_kitten@hellokitty.com

EDIT: well, i just went to the area i was told these kittens are at, and low and behold and cop pulls up behind me asking for my license, which i didn't have on me. i explained that i live on the road, and there are kittens that were just dropped off. thank god one popped out of nowhere, making my story plausable, but i was ticketed because my stickers were expired, and i find out my license is suspended? WTF.. when was a notified of this? DMV, you have some explaining to do. but, i brought one of the kittens home, b/c i'm worried it'll walk into an oncoming car, or something. it's about 8 to 9 weeks (est) and brown and black tabby; adorable markings.. i hope i can find homes for these guys, but first i need to find the rest of them!

Fri, 03 Jun 2005 19:39:08 GMT

it feels so good to be back home! i forgot how beautiful richmond was, and the memories that i had left behind. living in charleston for 10 months was a good learning experience.. i learned a lot, but at the end of the day, this is home. this is where i feel content. I'M HAPPY. no need to get jealous.

Sun, 27 Mar 2005 07:41:05 GMT
