| Just about 3 years ago to the day (on January 23, 2005) I made all posts anonymous, turned off IP Tracking, and asked that people say anything they wanted to or about me.
The first reply was as follows:
out of everyone i knew in high school, i secretly (not so secretly anymore?) wanted you to succeed the most, because i feel that you honestly deserve it.
i still do, too. make it happen.
I haven't updated LJ in over 2 years, and I don't plan on ever writing in it again, nor will I check for responses to this post. But I wanted to say something in the highly unlikely chance that this person may still have LJ, and might read this post. I never knew who it was the put that up there, and I'm sure I'll always wonder, but I wanted to let him/her know that even though I've never known who it came from, this small compliment has gotten me through more rough days than anyone could possibly imagine. It has meant more to me than anything anyone else has ever told me in my life, and knowing that at one point someone out there thought I could succeed continues to motivate me every time I feel like giving up.
So to you, anonymous stranger, thank you. | comments: Leave a comment  |

On another note, the people living directly above Jason and I (this is not our first encounter with them...) is banging on something. Endlessly. Constantly.
...i'm going to go insane.
I Pounded on the vent between our rooms for a bit, and they stopped...
...but it's started again.
Jason just went up there. I think that might be the sound of someone being beaten to death. ...hmm, i figured it's dound differently. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| This may be the last thing that I write for long Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song? For you and only you
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye? As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye? My foot is out the door and you can't stop me now
You wanted the best It wasn't me Will you give it back? Now I'll take the lead When there's no more room to make it grow I'll see you again You'll pretend you're naive Is this what you want? Is this what you need? How you end up? Let me know
As I go remember all the simple things you know My mind is just a crutch and I still hope That you will miss me when I'm gone This is the last song
The hearts start breaking as the year is gone The dream's beginning and the time rolls on It seems so surreal And now I sing it Somehow I knew that it would be this way Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade Now I am gone Just try and stop me now
You wanted the best It wasn't me Will you give it back? Now I'll take the lead When there's no more room to make it grow I'll see you again You'll pretend you're naive Is this what you want? Is this what you need? How you end up? Let me know
As I go remember all the simple things you know My mind is just a crutch and I still hope That you will miss me when I'm gone This is the last song
Will you need me now You'll find a way somehow You wanted to I want it too
As I go remember all the simple things you know My mind is just a crutch and I still hope That you will miss me when I'm gone This is the last song
As I go remember all the simple things you know My mind is just a crutch and I still hope That you will miss me when I'm gone This is the last song

So I leave coachie's earlier and after stopping at Auto-Zone to sort out something going on w/ my car, I go to Braums across the street because I haven't eaten yet and i'm starving. My order costs $5.81 I drive to the next window and she charges me $7.21 I figure out that this isn't my order, so I have to have her sort that out, she fixes it and I get my food and drive off... I turn out and then immediatally back in to the parking lot and go inside; she'd given me the wrong change, about $2.50 less than I was supposed to get. So after talking w/ them for a bit over 2.5 measley dollars they get it sorted out and I get my food and head home.
In my chocolate malt, there are nuts.
I get home, and then am told to run out to get Taryn from my aunt's house, so I don't have time to eat. I put my food in the refrigerator for when I return.
But I don't get to return, because mom wants me to take Taryn up to her work. Then I have to run to WSU to work and I don't have time to run back home.
4 hours later, i'm STARVING because I haven't eaten today.
I get home and walk up to the door, and the first thing dad says to me is "did you have a burger in the fridge?" me: yes dad: oh, you don't anymore me: ... So I check for my malt... me: ugh, you ate all my food dad: there was just a burger and some fries me: and my malt? dad: oh, yeah i drank that too
...so i'm starving, still haven't eaten, and he just stole $5.81 from me (no, i won't get this money back, which is a big deal when i have no money and am shelling out about $200 trying to fix my car) and he never apologized and i'm really frustrated
so that's my story for today. in other news, it was great to see everyone at Coachie's earlier :-) best of luck to everyone at Nats this year!
Work is going well
oh, LOL...I found the best answering machine message EVER earlier :-) (ask if you want the number) :-p
----edit---- also, i have to get rid of AIM ...i can keep it on my computer, but if i do, dad won't let me connect to our network at home he's going to shut me out of the network so...it has to go. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

thismorning brought a few nice surprizes. my grandparents are in town, and they took me out for breakfast for my birthday (haha, only 4 months late) and then to walmart / best buy for gift shopping. i got new sandles and DDR (i'll go get a pad tomorrow)
we stopped by Rhonda's house...their former neighbor when they lived here in wichita. Her husband passed away December 24th of last year. 1 day before Christmas 1 day before his birthday it was really sudden...totally out of the blue. He was hospitalized after what i think was a heart attack, and things didn't look good. He recovered, though, and over the next 3 days performed wonderfully... he made it through surgeries, and was up and walking around on the 23rd ...6am on the 24th rhonda got a phonecall, and he was gone. she's getting along alright... but upon seeing my grandparents walk up her drive....she fell apart and everyone cried.
He was only in his 50's
Grandpa, talking later in the car, spoke of how it's a reminder to live every day to the fullest. I'm planning on doing so...
Looking to brighter news...
Kyrie is out car-shopping with Grandma. :-) it'd be awesome if she got a new car. I, too, hope to get one...I'm currently looking into 2003 Hyundai's it'd be really nice to get a new car. the honda is dead in the driveway...again.
i spent about 5 hours yesterday working to get the van running again... it died on the way home from picking kyrie up at WSU and we were stranded south bound on 135 we eventually (many many hours later) got it home (dad did rather)...but it died about 20 times on the way. it needs some work done on it...so i'm sure we'll be doing that this weekend. (dad and i, not a mechanic or anything)
uhh...what else can i ramble about?
later tonight should bring good music, good company, and a party i've been looking forward to for quite a while
i guess that's it for now... i'm going to go take pictures and hopefully make them better than i did the one above...it doesn't look very good. oh well.
here's to summer | comments: Leave a comment  |

on another note...who's going to graduation tomorrow? anyone care to do something before/after/whatever? post in here or gimme a call or something if you're gonna go so i don't have to sit by myself :-p
and aww...my little sister is outa highschool. so grown up! i still remember when we ran around the house with pillow cases for capes, or played in the backyard with pillow cases for capes, or went to sleep watching movies.......while still wearing pillow cases as capes.
...yeah, we went through a lotta pillow cases.
Congratulations Kyrie (and to all others in the class of 2005) | comments: Leave a comment  |

i so have nothing to do. and i have no car, so i can't go find anything to do. and all my friends are in school (rather just got out an hour ago, but eh), or at work.
for quite a while thismorning we didn't have electricity, and even when we got it back, we couldn't get online (until about 5 minutes ago)
nowhere to go, nothing to do, no one to see... so my dad found a solution because he got tired of watching me lie around chores so i have to go now to do dishes and laundary, and in a few minutes i get to go get rain from school
and...as a side note, i hate coming 'home' to no bed.

| you know...i had a really wonderful night.
going out to see star wars was awesome. i really enjoyed this one. though i may be seeing it again on Monday, but that's ok.
and just...doing nothing. (a nothing that involved shopping for [you guessed it] nothing, driving to nowhere, sitting around in front of random people's houses and listening to their conversations forever, a little more darth vader than is healthy, waiting for sprinklers, sneaking around like ...spies?..., and talking about nothing in particular for hours)
there need to be more nights like this one. | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment  |
