Goodness, time really flies by when you're busy busy busy.
Today was the last day of classes, THANK GOD. I am very ready for this semester to be over. Of course, I *am* going to miss Prof. Ward and Studies in Poetry, but atleast I'll have Advanced Poetry next semester to console me :) Hopefully, now that I actually know all sorts of stuff about what really goes in poems, my poetry will get better. Asonance, consonance, zuegma, oh my!
Reading day tomorrow, paper due Thursday, two finals Friday, story due Friday, story due Monday, two finals Tuesday, DONE.

I think I am going to start a Lolita blog site/E-zine.
I know there are already a lot of sites out there dedicated to Lolita, but I'd like to start a web-based publication of sorts devoted not only to the 'look,' but also to what can be referred to as the Lolita lifestyle.
Articles could include things like DIY tutorials for skirts and whatnot, articles on hosting events such as High Teas or picnics, recipes for Lolita foods such as candies, tea cakes, Lolita Brand product reviews, and pretty much anything you can think of that relates to Lolita.
Of course, I will have to recruit a few article writers to help out, but I think I can find some people via the Blue Period message boards or the lj groups.

I am very excited about next semester, for I will be taking Garment Construction, w00t w00t!
The only bad thing is the time. I will have an EIGHT AM lab twice a week, aaaghhh!
I don't think it is safe to be operating such equipment at such an early time. But whatev. I'm really excited, as I want to learn how to sew well so I can make my own lolita dresses/outfits :D

Long time no write... Heeheehee... *coughcough*
*Michigan. Dad’s wedding was pretty cool, I knew about five people there, haha. Met lots of new family who’s names I promptly forgot. Everyone was nice to me though, so that’s good. We got to go to the ZOO, w00t! I love the zoo ^_^ I took about 70 pictures there too, haha. I intend on uploading them in the future, a few turned out really well.
* Europe. SIMPLY BREATHTAKING. I feel truly priveledged for being able to go. I saw so many amazing, wonderful, BEAUTIFUL things. It was a bit overwhelming, seeing so many sites in just the three weeks. I loved Paris, I really wished we could have spent more time there than just the two days. I LOVED Greece. I don’t think I’d mind living there one day. Or near Florence, Italy. The Greek islands were as close to paradise as I’ve ever been, Rhodes was my favorite. London made me realize how much of a city girl I truly am (even though I’ve never really lived in ‘the city.’ I just love it.). 300+ pictures, hopefully will be uploaded in the next week or so. I have a lot of resizing and printing to do x.0
* Boone. I’d actually never been there until orientation. Appalachian’s campus is so pretty. There’s a mountain behind our stadium, that rocks. People seemed pretty friendly, and fairly helpful. I got my schedule all straightened out, and managed to get into Freshman Seminar, the honors freshman english course. I’m really looking forward to starting school, and just getting on with my life. Feels a little like I’m just standing still here in Jacksonville. I met some cool guys at orientation, so I’ll have some people to hang out with next semester. Make things a little less lonely? haha.
It’s weird, seeing everything that I’ve seen, in just a month, and then coming back here. To… well, to my house, my job, my apathetic teenage life. I feel like I’m just waiting for things to happen to me, instead of going out and doing things myself. I have the urge to correct that, but my energy has dwindled down to next to nothing. Maybe I should just try eating healthier…

AHHH! It's been such a very long time since I updated, hasn't it? Damn. Not that it matters, but anyway...
Tomorrow is going to make ELEVEN MONTHS with Taylor. When we first got together, I never imagined we'd last so long (my only other relationship was seven months, haha). I'm still very happy with him though, and everytime I see him I feel as happy as I did when we first got together ♥
College: I *did* get accepted to NYU, but due to a majority of reasons (the foremost being monetary concerns) I won't be attending. I'll be going to Appalachian State University, which is perfectly fine with me. It looks like an ok school, I can bring my car, my best friend is going, AND I can drive down here on long weekends/holidays to visit everyone :) Mainly, I'm just glad to be getting out of Jacksonville.
School is nearly over. There's a new exam schedule, so now we only take one exam, then go home for the rest of the day, instead of going to our remaining classes for review. That's MEGA AWESOME, because I don't have to take any exams, so my school year ends four days before some others, haha. I just have to go in on Monday the 16th, and then I'm done. I graduate on the 24th, and while I was fairly nervous and apprehensive about that before, now that I've finally decided what I'm doing with myself (at least for the next year or so) I feel better about it. I kinda just want this next month to hurry the fuck up and get over, hahaha.
Still working at the theater, in the box office. I heard I'm being put in for a raise next month, but since I know how effective that was last time, I'm not holding my breath. Still, you'd think after being there a year, they could pay me a little more than minimum wage. Would be nice. I can't get a new job yet though, because I have to ask for all of June off. I'm going up to Michigan the first week to go to my dad's wedding, and then I'll be home for a day or two, then whisked off to Europe (which I'm very much looking forward to!), and then I'll be home for a night, and then drive out to Boone for Orientation, haha. I'm going to be busy. But I don't have ANYTHING to do in July except work and hang out at the beach, so that'll be nice. Just gotta make it through June ;)

Hah, half the time I can never remember the password to this journal. Maybe that's why I don't update too much.
Less than a week and I'll be in NO! I get my next paycheck Friday, and it probably won't be much, but it'll give me a little monetary boost so if I find a kick-ass dress for prom, I can actually *buy* it.
50millionthousand tests this week, all with the excuse "Now, you don't want to take it after break, do you? You'll forget everything!"
Which just goes to show how confident teachers really are with their instruction. Hahaha.
Seeing 'The Jacket' tomorrow with Taylor. Looks pretty cool. I'm hoping it won't be a giant disappointment like the *last* 'horror' movie I saw. Though this is less horror, more psycological thriller... *coughcough*

Going to New Orleans on spring break, w00t! March 21-24 I'll be staying in the French Quarter, eating lots of good food and taking advantage of the shopping, mwaa haa haa. AND that's four days I can't work, hurrah!
Still waiting on admissions letters from Columbia and NYU. I had a phone interview with Columbia a few weeks ago, it went pretty well. The alumnae I interviewed with was very nice, and said I had a "strong academic background," and she thought I'd get in. Pretty cool. I'm not really that confident about it, but it was nice to hear from someone who might have some influence, lol.
Been so busy lately, with all my clubs and shit. I hate Student Council >.< I've had about two weeks to go to businesses and ask for donatiosn for Teacher Appreciation Week, but I haven't had the time. I feel really bad about it, so I'm going to try and go out tomorrow, since I have to work tonight.
Nothing much else. Mom's moving to Roxboro, Dad's getting married in June (I'll be flying up for the wedding). Big changes, I suppose. I'll be going off to college in August though, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

Oh yeah. I had FLBA Regional Competition last Saturday. I got first place in my event, Business Procedures (I only competed against about 30 people though, so it's not to big of a deal). However, since I placed, my way to state is paid for. Which means more money to spend at the mall, w00t! And hanging out with 1000+ other high school students (suprisingly, a lot of really cool people join FBLA, not just geeks like it sounds like. Lots of tasty eye-candy, yum yum).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Worst night at work in... well, in a fucking long time, that's for sure. Four fights. Four. Had to call the po-leece to come and take people away. As a result, over $400 in refunds. And the bags were all fucked up, Nicole was $700 over, I was $50 short (the closest to even though, woo-hoo!), Robin was about $300 over, and I didn't stick around to see how Michelle's turned out.
Two rows of people got kicked out of Hide & Seek for talking, and they all happened to be black. So, of course, we all got accused of being racist. Robin, Michelle and I got reffered to as "racist, cracka-ass bitches." I didn't take much offence though, considering it was coming from the knocked-up 17-year-old on probation. Who was also white. Robin and I got Jarod to walk us to our cars, because we didn't feel like getting jumped by a gang of 15 teenage girls.
Robert was stressing out. This is is first big horrible event since he's become a manager. He started stuttering, poor boy. He looked like he needed a cigarette and a back rub. All I wanted to do was give him a big hug and make him feel better. Subsequently, I felt guilty, becuase I have a boyfriend. And I felt upset because I've been feeling this was since October.
We've talked about it, him and I. But I'm with Taylor, and I'm happy with the relationship, and I'm in no way ready to end it. I know it's the right decision for me, though sometimes I still wish I could try someone else. I figure I'll be going off to college in August anyway, so it's pointless to start anything new now anyway. Even if it's something that gives me butterflies.
At least there was some good news: Robin started working again at Carmike, yay! Not for good reasons though, but she's back, and even though I know she hates it, I'm glad I have someone reasonably intelligent to talk to.
Ugh. I'm going to bed.

Got accepted to Appalachian State University last Friday. I'll probably be waiting until the end of March/beginning of April to hear from Columbia and NYU. God, I hope I get in. I'm already bracing myself for the dissapointment though.
It seems silly, when I think about it. I've kept trying so hard all these past years, because I thought maybe, if I worked hard enough, if I joined enough clubs, if I got high enough grades then maybe, maybe it would all pay off and I'd get to go somewhere else. Though I suppose if I don't get in, I can work really hard my Freshman and Sophmore years at Appalachian, and maybe if I work hard enough, and join enough organizations, and get high enough grades, I can transfer.
And if they refuse me then, well, I guess I just wasn't good enough.
But enough with the dramatics. They get a bit tiring after a while. Work is alright, they moved me back into the Box Office again. I don't mind, though I miss the people I used to work with. At least I don't have to stay late cleaning anymore. However, I was told I was going to be getting a raise last month, and that still has yet to come through. Though the other three people got theirs. Hmpph. My manager said he's trying to get in contact with the people who should be in charge of all this, but he hasn't recieved a reply yet. Cheap-asses. Oh well, it's just money.
Things with Taylor are going well, better than they were a few weeks ago. I've been appreciating him more and more lately, and I'm glad he's there when I start to feel overwhelmed. He's my main man :)

I'm feeling a little lost tonight.
Haven't finished applying to all my colleges. Should really do that. Been starting to think I should have applied to the University of Southern California.
... you know, just for a change of pace.
*sigh*
Sometimes I feel like there's no way I can possibly be happy here, and sometimes I feel like there's no way I can be possibly happy anywhere else.
But that's just because I've become accustomed to things around here. I don't like change, never have. I'm nervous that I'll fuck up so badly nothing can save me.
I don't know.

What's been going on for the past two months:
* Work. Work sucks ass. Work sucks huge ass. Work sucks huge, hairy, smelly, acne-y ass. I hate my job. I'm seriously considering quitting soon, especially since for Christmas mom is paying my car insurance for the next six months, and Don is going to set up an eBay seller's account for me.
* School. Didn't have to take any exams, since I got all 'A's' this semester, w00t! I was very happy because of that. On break right now, scheduled to resume studies January 3rd. I'll be taking AP English (which I'm really looking forward to), AP Calculus (which I'm really not looking forward to), French III Honors, and Newspaper.
* Speaking of Newspaper, I've been asked to be Editor-In-Chief for next semester. And, like an idiot, I agreed. It's going to be a little difficult, since I'm not actually going to be in class with the majority of the other people (Newspaper is the same period as French III), but I'm going to try and manage.
*Taylor. We celebrated our six-month anniversary on the 25th of November. I'm absolutely ridiculously happy with him, even if he frustrates me to no end, and drives me crazy. But in a good way.
Mom's still overseas. And will be for a good while longer, apparently, because nobody gets trained correctly. Not like this upsets me or anything... *GRRR*. I just hope she gets home soon :(
That's pretty much the 'big re-cap.' Working tonight, need to go do some more Christmas shopping.

| Homecoming Dance |
[26 Oct 2004|07:35pm] |
 I really need to start taking efforts to update this more. Anyway, the homecoming dance was Saturday. I was in L<3VE with my dress. I've never worn anything so pretty, and so R.E.D. I felt very stand-outish, but in a very good way. Taylor and I went out to dinner at the Yakitori House, a very tasty Japanese restaurant. I got tuna rolls, yum yum ^_^ We rolled into the dance around 9:15, got our pictures taken, said 'hi' to everyone, and left. I *wanted* to dance, but some certain person *coughcoughTAYLORcoughcough* isn't very big on it, so I didn't very much. All well, there's always prom. Besides, if *he* won't dance with me, I'll just have to find someone else to! After we left we went back to his house to watch movies and cuddle, awwww <3
Thursday was costume day, and I dressed up as a pirate, YARRR! I <3 that costume, I'm going to wear it for Halloween.
PS: Amy and Xenia are the two cutest girls in the world <3

| Spirit Week |
[21 Oct 2004|06:49pm] |
Taylor and I in the stands at the Powderpuff game.
Spirit week is really starting to wear me out.
Took SAT IIs last Saturday before last Saturday. My brain melted and oozed out my ears. However, I get the results TOMORROW *jumpjump*. I'll have to try and check it tomorrow before I go to school (I would check it *at* school, but with my luck the nazi software would block it).
I work 8-CL tonight, and I'm already exhausted. Meh. I'm going to start losing my hair >.<
Saw Taylor today though <3 Five months Monday!

[26 Sep 2004|10:32am] |
And once again, I need to get off my lazy behind and update...
Yesterday was the 25th. Taylor and I have been together for four months now <3 He baked me chocolate chip cookies to celebrate (from scratch!) ^_^ It's so nice having a guy that knows how to cook, especially since I can't to save my life, LMAO! Yesterday also marked four months working at the dreaded Carmike. I still need to pick up some more applications for other places.
Working tonight, 5:30-CL. I was only on schedule *twice* this week :O Because movie attendance has slowed down (severely), everyone's hours have been getting cut. Which sucks. I think he just needs to fire a few certain people (who don't work anyway, even when they *are* clocked in), and let everyone else take their hours. I think that sounds good *nod*. At this rate, I'll be able to pay car insurance, but I won't be able to save up anything else for my Europe trip.
School is going as well as it can, I suppose. I got two "B"s on my report card, though I didn't feel too terribly bad about it. One was in AP Biology, and I was *thankful* for that fucking grade. I need to work a bit harder this six weeks, I suppose, because I AM getting an 'A'. I AM. Also got a "B" in Art and Tech, but since I thought I was teetering over the edge to "C"dom I'm happy. Well, I'd be happy if we could just get out of this damn photography unit. We start digital stuff Friday, YAY!
Haven't had any free time lately at all. When I'm not at school, I'm at some stupid club meeting. If I'm not there, I'm working on my AP Biology work. If I'm not doing THAT, I'm at work, and if I'm not any of those other places, than Taylor wants me to spend every minute with him. Not that I wouldn't like to, it's just that I really enjoy time to *myself*, by *myself*, and I haven't gotten any in the last month. I'm currently relishing this hour I've been given this morning, because as soon as 11 rolls around, I have to get up, do some laundry, and finish all my Biology homework. Hmmpphh.
But anyway, things are ok. I'm alive. Ho hum.

Egads! It's been over a whole month since I updated! Bad Summer, Bad!
ANYWAY, school has started once again. Blah. First period is very easy and fairly boring, I've already learned the majority of CSS and can put it to use, so it's not even the end of the first six weeks and I've completed my semester objective, *lol*. I need to find something else to "research" and learn during that class, or I swear I am going to go crazy from boredom. Who knows, maybe I'll try PHP or something... AP Bio is challenging, but when I remember to study and such it's not too bad. Newspaper has been a fairly slack class, but now that our first story deadline has passed my section (the Copy people) is going to be very very busy. Every story goes through my staff copy people, then through me (Copy Editor), then through Meredith (Editor), then Mr. Shevel and Mr. Wiggins. Art and Technology sucks, because Mrs. P never actually showed us how to develop pictures, so I don't have any nice prints. No nice prints means no "A"s. *grrr*
Taylor and I are still together, and I couldn't be happier <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 (cue collective *awwwww*) I'm very very VERY glad we're still together, lol. August 25 made three months, yay! *dance*
Nothing else going on, really. Same old Same old. Leaving for work in a few minutes, blah. I swear, my manager is an idiot. He's working me more *now* than he ever did over the summer! Freakin' psycho. We have a four-day weekend, and of course I'm working all four days, and have the others off. Pssh. I want to get down to Wilmington to go shopping soon, but no, have to work. Hopefully, one day, I'll have a Saturday off so I can. But for now, I'm still dreaming....
