I can't believe it...It has been sooo long since i last updated and my deepest apologies!
I have been super busy with school stuff, and working. Not to mention my new living quarters...by myself. I love it and everything, but it does get lonely every now and again.
My parents are coming here for Christmas because my broke-ass can't afford to go home...which in turn blows monkey nuts because I really want to see everyone again. I miss being home a lot, especially lately, haven't quite figured out why yet. It's a lot of little things that you don't realize you have until ... well, until you don't have them anymore.
Emily is coming up here for New Years....FUCKING ROX MY SOX for serious! It's awesome knowing that I still have friends like her! Makes everyday a good one!
My friend John should be coming back from Iraq late this month, but he won't be able to come back to Minnesota until about the middle of January or the end...possibly not until the beginning of February. This I guess is still pretty cool tho because his 22nd birthday is 2 days after my 21st so we are supposively going out all weekend or something, but I'm not pushing anything until I know he's gonna make it home safely. He is suppose to be starting another week-long mission I think today, so I won't talk to him until he gets back from that. I was the bearer of bad news for him yesterday too when I found out that a kid he used to go to school with who is in a different branch of the military as he is, was killed in a car bombing that wounded 14 others. He was from Little Falls, which is the town that I work in...so, it's beginning to hit closer to home and I don't really like that feeling!
Anyway, that's all I'm gonna get into for now, have some stuff to finish up for today...
Keep in touch lovers!

You Are A Pine Tree |
You love agreeable company, peace, and harmony.
Compassionate and friendly, you love to help others.
A natural poet, you have a very active imagination.
You are very soft on the inside - needing affection and reassurance.
You can fall in love deeply, but you will leave if you feel betrayed. |

| My birthday... |
[24 Feb 2005|09:17am] |
Yesterday was my birthday and it was SOOO much awesomer than I could've thought it to be, especially for more of a 'just another day' birthday.
So, it started off with me being probably the sickest I've ever been EVER. I'll spare you the details for now, unless you really want to know. And NO, it had nothing to do with alcohol! But I did pass out at one point in time (3:30 in the morning) and NAILED my head on the base of a stand-up shower...THAT hurt! But anyway...so, I was sick, then I took some pills and got un-sick, and then Michael took me out to dinner with a couple of his buddys. That rocked! Grizzley's is FREAKING awesome! MMMmmmmmm....
Then I had to go to work...(at St. Otto's) which was cool cuz I worked the longest shift possible at night, AND got paid time and a half for it!!!! Stopped off at "Rylee's" (Tiffany's) on my way into Little Falls to say hi, and talk to her a bit, and she got me the prettiest locket I've ever seen. It's silver with like, diamonds *maybe not real ones, but still pretty ones* on the edges, and it's heart shaped...gorgeous, and I love it!! THANX AGAIN TIFFANY!! But then, while at Otto'sErinn showed up at about 7 pm, so she ate with us on break,and then we stopped at Coborns **it's like Kroger michigan people** and picked up a couple movies and some cake mix and frosting...took it home and baked it. SUPER DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Only have 4 pieces left!! LoL!
Erinn and Michael stayed the night and we all ended up crashing in the living room...
It was definitely a good day....probably one of my better b-days...just cuz there was NO DRAMA AT ALL!!! Oh, wait, I lied...I got into a fight with stupid Kayla at work....she's soooo retarded..you can ask if you want...but, I'm leaving it alone now..
Thanx for all the 'happy b-days' I got. I really appreciate them...
Love you all!!

| Something cool.... |
[22 Feb 2005|02:23pm] |
I don't know why I am so excited about this..but, my first check from subway stated that I was only making $5.25 an hour...and that was after Jack had already told me that I would be making at least $6.50....Then, I talked to him, and my next check said $7.00 an hour...Rock the CRAP on!! I was soo excited!!
Tomorrow is supposed to be an awesome day (not the weather or anything like that, but, the day in general) It's just SUPPOSED to be that way, every year...but...I don't know that this one will be. No school, so that's pretty cool, but, I have to work, and I don't have any plans either. There are people that are like, "hey, we should do something, I"ll take you out or something, call me Tuesday" and I'm like, "ok, whatever...sure" I call and "oh man, sorry, I forgot and I got some errands to do" or stuff like that....why can't I just forget....??
A day like any other...that sounds cool...actually. So, tonight I'm going out to Micheals so that he can take me out for brunch on his break, and then I work, and then I sleep. Awesome!
Say goodbye to the last moments of the teenage years...

| Long days.... |
[17 Feb 2005|09:43am] |
Ok, so yesterday (my day away from school) ended up being one of my best, and then later, one of my worst.
The story...here goes:
Tuesday I got a call from my boss, Jack, from Subway. He wanted to know if I would work Wednesday *yesterday* morning being that I said I was available to. It would be a 9-3 or 3:30 shift (depending on what time I needed to leave to go to work at the hospital) So I agreed to pick up the shift. It was the best day I've ever had at Subway!! Jack was there all day *and he is seriously the best manager EVER!!* Shayna -- my favorite 'head honcho' in the world, she worked too, and we just had a blast with sick jokes and inside jokes all day (yes, we have inside jokes already, even tho we've only worked together 3 times). Lyvonne was there, and she is sooo cute cuz she's like 60 years old, and just a snoot about controlling the bread area. But we had fun bickering back and forth giving eachother a hard time, and then Matt came in. Now, Matt is probably one of the most hilarious, yet down to earth guys I've ever met. Except, he's a jerk. LoL! Him and I go back and forth like Jason *my bro* and I used to do. I miss it, so of course Matt and I had fun arguing and picking on eachother! It was all going great...until I left Subway to go to work at the hospital...
SON OF A CRAP!! I had a HORRIBLE day there!! First off, I had to work with Linda and Debbie **WHO ARE MEAN, CRUEL WOMEN WHO DO NOTHING BUT HELP THEMSELVES AND EACHOTHER SO THEY CAN GO ON SMOKE BREAK 5 TIMES A DAY** and then we ended up working 2 people short... But I don't want to go any deeper into this again cuz it freakin' sucked
I got class now..so talk to you all later!!
YaY for being able to see Michael tonight, and hang out with him, his little bro Daniel and his g/f Shanelle Friday night! I"m excited....those two are soo cute together *they're 16 and 15 y/o*
|
|
| So what is it really...?? |
[15 Feb 2005|11:23am] |
Good news or bad news...you tell me...
A teacher cancels class --- but not until you've RUSHED to get everything done, and you walk up to the classroom door....punk
For some reason, that totally pissed me off today! I think it was because I actually had my crap together, and I worked fast to get some other stuff done and rushed so that I wouldn't be late, get to the door, and BAM! Big note on the door stating that class had been cancelled. The funny thing in all this was that, on my way from the computer lab, to class, I kept saying to myself, "I'm gonna be so pissed if she ends up being sick again, but cancelling class rather than just letting us out early"....and Lord and behold!! What a punk! I actually enjoy going to that class too...we are 'raising' meal-worms *which, unknown to me, are the larva of beetles* and examining guppies and coleus plants. It's actually really cool.
But anyway, I'm gonna catch up on some reading I should've done over my 5 day weekend for my next class...

| Just sittin' around.... |
[08 Feb 2005|02:57pm] |
Haven't done this in a while....like usual!!
Michael is in California....thanx a lot!! LoL, I'm really glad he got to go, I'm just jealous that he's 21 now, can drink without me, and he's in one of the many places I DREAM to be, without me. Meh...that's just the cards I've been dealt I guess...but he WILL be home for valentines day, so I'm excited about that.
Don't think I've really updated about him in a while, so I'll take a little bit of time to do that now....His b-day was on the 5th and as previously stated he is now 21. Go him... HE bought tickets for 10 of us to go to the worlds toughest rodeo in the twin cities ON his b-day, and that TOTALLY Rocked MY sox....but 4-5 of the others weren't very thrilled. That pissed me off cuz Michael spent SOOO much money for all of us to go and they wanted to leave when a VERY GOOD concert *that none of us knew about* came on because THEY WERE TIRED AND THE BASS WAS TOO MUCH....crappers! But, it was still cool cuz it was my 2nd rodeo and that's what I've always wanted to be....a bull-fighter or bull rider....***I can see it now!!*** But back on planet Earth....We've been spending ooodles of time together and I love it. He's been more open about me meeting his friends and hanging out with every one in a group, and that's what I've wanted to have with him, so that I KNOW I can feel comfortable with his friends, and he with mine. Even tho THAT line of friends is slowly dwindling. NO, I don't have a lot of hang-out time between work and school...no, I can't drop everything to listen to you, although I do try to drop what I can...ANYWAY...
School is getting tougher but that's because I'm having problems scheduling reading/working time in between my actual class schedule and my work schedules.
Good news for me---- I'm on a budget now so that I can actually get out of debt and get the VERY MUCH NEEDED new vehicle this summer. I DOOO plan on that one. I'm done shopping until April for sure *a personal goal* except for necessities.
I haven't had much time to hang out with Tiffany since I've been home, and I'm trying to work that in too. I kinda waited around for one of her classes to get out, but that didn't all work out how I had hoped....better luck next time I guess...still heart her...even tho we've been fighting for forever.....RAH to stupid quarrels!!
Heh, off the subject, I got a snappy bracelet from Michael this morning (by that I mean at 2 AM when I dropped him off at school to get on the bus to go to Cali) and I haven't taken it off yet...don't know why tho...it's bugging the crap out of me!!
ANyway, I'm done with my thoughts and feelings...feel free to add your own...opinions work too I suppose...Have a wonderful day!

| Hello.... |
[20 Jan 2005|02:25pm] |
I have some good, and bad news that has happened since I've come back home...I'm home by the way! :o)
Bad News first:
1) I think I've lost my best friend...but...what can I do?
2) Maggie came home with me, but the place she was suppose to go didn't work out...
3) Carolyn and Oz don't want Maggie on the farm...period
4) Michael went to Colorado...that in itself isn't bad, but it's for a week and I miss him
5) School started --not horribly bad
6) Class starts at 8 in the AM --horrifically bad
7) Books are expensive...freakers
8) I'm going to be working far harder than I think I could've ever imagined to pay off this loan for school
Good News:
1) Michael comes home tomorrow and I get to pick him up!
2) I have a new...very close friend. Thanx Kayla!
3) I found a home for Maggie, and honestly think she likes it...and they are willing to let me have her back whenever I want her, and come over whenever I want to see her...and have even invited me to house-sit for them the weekend they go to Las Vegas, Michael can come too....AND it's my b-day weekend.
4) I have school paid for..thanx to..oh yeah, ME!
5) That means I was eligible for a loan, and got it..
6) I now have 3 part-time jobs and so far love 2 of them for sure! SUBWAY and my Nursing home job
7) I just might be able to get a car soon!!!
8) I have a new phone!!! Same number, just upgraded, FOR FREE!! Because I'm such a good customer!
9) I have the same plan I had, but $15 cheaper!!!!!!!! ROCK ON!! :o)
10) My glasses and contacts came in, and are super super cute!!
11) My car is still running!!
So as you can see, the good FAR outweighs the bad and I can honestly and sincerely say that I am happy. Happy to be home again (with an exception of being away from Emily), happy to be living my life...eh-hem..in debt I guess! LoL! But working with that, and dealing with fixing that to the best of my abilities!
Thanx guys...love you all
Jessica

| If I could catch bullshit in a net...I would |
[07 Jan 2005|06:41pm] |
But I can't...because a net had holes...and all the bullshit will widdle it's way back out into the open air. Piece of crap.
Ya know what? I'm ready to go back to Minnesota now...but it sux that I have to depend on other people, places and things. I'm just waiting for my paycheck from work over there to come in so that I can use that money to get home.
Why do I have to wait for that, you ask? Well...first off, the 5 bags of cans I brought back from Minnesota *because we don't have the 10cent refunds* are gone now because Al,yes, my uncle Al, decided those cans were first come first serve after being in the garage ONE NIGHT after I emptied them out of my trunk to go to canada. Um, BULLSHIT! I drove those 800 miles so and didn't cash them when I got here so that I knew I had the money later, and I couldn't spend that money if I didn't cash 'em, right? But..it's not like I don't have money to get home..cuz thanx to a certain someone, I do..it's just that I told work to send the check here before they gave me the money....so....I'm still stuck here MAINLY because I don't trust my mom with my money.
For those who have not seen me yet...I may be leaving as early as tomorrow *SATURDAY* and absolutely no later than Tuesday....with, or without that check I can't afford to wait any longer than that.
So, if i don't see you, it was nice talking to you..or something
and if I did see you, thanx...it always is appreciated and always means a lot to me...
L8r G8rs..
Jessica

| Hey |
[02 Jan 2005|09:36pm] |
Just wanted to let those who wanted to know, that I'm back in Michigan. Anyone who wants to hang out should let me know and we should definitely hang out. Don't know how long I'll be in town...more than a week, but less than 2 weeks. Hope everyones new year is going good so far...there really shouldn't be too many problems going on yet! It's too early
Alright, I"ll talk to you later....
Love ya'll
Jessica
|
|
| Well hello there friends! |
[05 Dec 2004|10:18pm] |
I'm sooo sorry it's been so freaking long again. I just wish I had the time and energy to be online all the time, or at least more time than I am now!!
Just so that everyone knows, and nobody can say that they didn't know...I'll be coming home the first two weeks in January!!!!!!!!!! I am suppose to work on New Years Eve, but hopefully I'll be able to get that night off. I'm still looking....cuz I want to be home for any parties that may be going on. Specially if it's my fellas throwing it!! I miss everyone back 'home' so much!! I am really looking forward to this vacation too!!
So, I've been having a lot of financial problems, but, then again, who isn't?? My mom is totally pissing me off and fucking with my shit and I just want to hit her sometimes. SHE is the main reason why I moved so far away! She's been tracking my money, and she'll offer me some, to 'help out' but then she'll keep asking, "well what'd you do with that blankety blank money I gave you??" Just enought to piss a person off!!
My old/new/totalled car is still not yet paid off completely but that's cuz the insurance guy is a fucking ass. School just got paid for, until Spring semester, my buick is still doing shitty, and I keep putting money into her...another thing that is JUST enough to piss a person off..but whatever I guess...you gotta do what you gotta do.
Michael and I are wonderful! It's amazing how much time apart really did us good, I think. But I don't want to go too in depth with all of that, but I'm happy where we are now!
But I suppose, I should probably get back to work...or bed..whichever is closer...oh look...it's my bed!
Sweetest of dreams everyone *who reads this* and Happy Holidays!!
Jessica

| I dont' know what's going to happen... |
[05 Nov 2004|09:27am] |
It's almost been a week with no communication with a certain person...we'll call this person *A*. I don't know what happened, but I thought our friendship was better, and deeper than this little petty stuff. *A* doesn't know, yet, that I'm not the one apologizing this time. I'm always the one to give in, to say that *A* is right, and I am wrong, and try to get things back on track. I'm done with that....everyone hates being wrong, especially when it's ALL THE TIME! I HATE IT TOO!! I've tried for so long now, and mentally, I'm kicking my own ass to make *A* happy....and I realize that it's not working because I think I'm trying harder than *A* is. STOP with the guilt trips, STOP with making things my fault all the time and STOP NEEDING to be right. Being bullheaded isn't goint to keep me around and even tho these past few days have hurt EXTREMELY, I've found a weight lifted off my shoulders because I don't have to keep making *A* happy. I've wanted to call *A*, but giving in again is not going to get my point across.
I have to go to class now, but maybe I'll finish this later...
Jessica
