Hey,
Things have changed so much since my last post and I am so happy they have. Relationship wise I am very happy, classes are going well and I work as an ad designer at a newspaper.

I find I don't miss high school as much as I thought I would. I love the people I am with now and I am very happy. I have changed a lot since high school, I am not that girl trying to please everyone; I am someone who will tell you how I feel and I am much more confident in myself. I am a totally different person and I love it. My online shop will be open in about 2 weeks. |

Ah! So many things to say so little time. Its the holiday season again and I've come to find once again that the things I thought were so important are not really anything to worry about. Well exams are... but that is a little different.
My best friend found this poem and introduced it to me earlier today:
Hug O' War by Shel Silverstein
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
This poem came at a good time for me, smacking me in the face screaming telling me what truly is important in life. Its not the shoes you wear (though mine are very cute) or the newest reality TV shows on (Oh I hope Brittany wins!) No matter how much those things seems to matter at the time, they don't. What matters is the friends and family you have around you. Don't go home dreading the Great Aunt Luo-Luo's kiss, or the fight you know you'll have with your mother, they are your family and the only ones you are going to get for that matter. Be happy you have them.
On a different note, I just sold my first painted mailbox! A few months back a family friend of ours ask me to paint their mailbox. It was a huge fuckin' mailbox! They told me to paint a wood cabin in the woods on both side including a hammer and anvil in the front yard. Both sides were the same, which turned out to be the hard part. In the end I became $65 richer. (excluding the $20 for supplies) |

It is an odd feeling when you have friends getting married or already are.
A couple weeks ago I was informed that one of my good friends and her boyfriend (I can't say who because I'm not sure whether I should disclose that information without her consent) are now engaged. I was the first person to know about it. They are planning to get married in a couple years when they have the money to help support themselves.
I have a friend here at ECU that is married and live down the road from the school.
And I have 2 friends up in North Raleigh who are married, Chelsea and Travis. I'm sure none of you know them. Their parents don't know they've been married for 6 months. They are living together and it seems to be working out well over all.
I know someday I want to be married, but I want it to be with the right person. I know there isn't going to be a perfect person, but there is a right person. I was really stupid before and cared about the wrong things. Not saying I'm looking at the right things now; but my view on relationships has completely changed.. well sort of.
I'm sure you don't want to hear me rant about marriage, this is just a topic that has recently come up in the past few days with my friends so I thought I'd talk about it some.

Oh! btw, I am staying at James' house this weekend! I'm so excited about that. I love spending time with him, so an entire weekend sounds wonderful.Current Mood:  excited |

|---|
Tips for College from a First semester student:
(1) Always have your keys on a lanyard; you have no idea how much easier it is getting out your keys and not loosing them (which ends up costing you $150 to replace the locks… yuck)
(2) Be careful where you walk in the morning, you don’t know where the drunk people got sick until you step in it. I’d rather see it first then step in it.
(3) When going out partying/clubbing/what not make sure the whole group has the same plan and you don’t get left behind.
(4) Don’t ever hand you Driver’s License to a stranger, Mike had his stolen, I went and got a police officer then everything was solved and the people in the pizza parlor who took it (two drunk guys) went to jail.
(5) Don’t drink too much, you’ll be sorry.
(6) If someone pisses you off there are 4000 other people to replace them
(7) Clubbing is only fun in groups
(8) You are never really alone, even when you think you are.
(9) Don’t loose your school ID, pretty important stuff that is.
(10) Some of the best food is the stuff you scrounge together to create something like a meal. The best by far has been the combo of Easy Mac, Friend rice and sliced ham, yum.
(11) No matter how nice you think a guy seems, he’s always just a horny bustard in the end
(12) You will always hate something about your roommate, Deal with it
College; supposedly the best years of you life, but in reality its just the beginning. Its just when you start gaining your independence and loosing your individuality by being sucked into the crazy life of a student who believes themselves to be unique but always will remain as part of the group. Even the art students who strive to be unique end up only once again being part of the group.
Remember those jocks back in high school, you know, those guy who pretended to play football well and lost every game, or those snotty girls who gave up their virginity to those football players and stuffed their bras to look “more mature”, yeah, those people, well here is where those people strangle. Finally they aren’t able to get everything they want by just their boobs and points on the field, here is where they are thrown out and finally labeled as what they are, losers. Maybe that’s just the ideal college, but at lest here you can recognize that starting to happen because in the end it always does.
College life if defiantly different from high school and I know I’ve changed since then. I curse lot more, I guess when you surround yourself with people who say, “Fuck it!” or “You Bitch!” you tend to pick it up. This is only really a disadvantage if you get so used to saying it that you slip up in front of your mother who you’ve never her curse once in your time there. Yeah, that’s where I stand. In the past few months I know I’ve also changed in my view about guys and relationships. Frankly I don’t take them as seriously. I won’t get into details, I don’t want to share them at this time, but overall I think I’ve grown in this area. I don’t feel stuck like I did before, I know I can do what I want and if one thing doesn’t work out there is always another.
College is a good experience for me. Not only am I kinda getting away from things at home but I’m exploring new options available to me.

Okay, I think I'm gonna get ride of the little pink monkey I've had up for so long, it is way too happy. Which reminds me : In middle school and early high school I live by the phrase S.A.T.T., smile all the time. Back then it was fine, I meant it as a reminder to always look on the bright side of things, to always be happy about those small things in life we always take grantit for. S.A.T.T.'s word in themselves make it sounds like a completely different meaning to me now, more like "pretend to be happy, fake it, don't show your real emotions to anyone" I don't feel people should do that, that is the reason I am stopping my use of S.A.T.T. and discontinuing the pink money, its just TOO happy. (That explanation was way too long for all that)
I got to talk to James today on the phone! w00t! I was excited about it, even Jimmy knew I was excited when I was talking about it last night. Today I went over to his house at 1pm, and his mom let me use their phone. I hadn't heard his voice since June 29th; I had forgotten how much I missed it. I talked for way TOO long, I felt bad because I know the phone bill will be expensive, but next time I am bringing over my phone card.
Only a couple more weeks until I start my fall semester at ECU. There is so much I need to do and get. I'm not even sure how I'm gonna move all my stuff into the dorm, how am I going to get it to Greenville? I made a blanket and pillow for my dorm room, only took me a few hours. I'd show you a picture if I could.. but I have no digital camera.
I got my new laptop!!!!!!!! and itouch! its very exciting! I am on my laptop right now. It is a macbook (its black) At at this point I am setting up to talk to Chels through a webcam, its so exciting, I didn't know I could do this. I need to hurry up this post, I have so much more to talk about but I'll save that for another time.
So long for now

I haven’t touched LJ in a while, I started writing a post a couple weeks ago but I still haven’t finished it and I don't feel like talking about those things now... so.... here is the topic most people have asked me about recently.
I know hardly anyone reads this.. probably only Chelsea :) So this is a journal entry more for me then for everyone, but your welcome to read it. (Obviously if I posted on the internet)
I got a new boyfriend! :) James Klarevas-Irby :) In the beginning I was trying to stay away and distance myself because I didn't want to get hurt again. I told myself if I started dating I would end up getting hurt again and feel horrible. I had told a couple people that I was going to make this a short relationship and that it wasn't really a serious one. I realized I was lying to myself, within only a couple days I had fallen in love. He and I have a lot in common, we've even bought the same shirt from threadless.com (My profile picture on facebook) For the past 3-4 or so weeks I've spent almost every other day with James. (excluding the time I was in West Virginia) I realized that I love James. Robert, my brother, has bonded with James more then I've ever seen him do so. Every time I'm with James I am so happy. I didn't think this would happenso quickly, falling in love; but since Tayler's party we've just hit it off.
The day before I went to West Virginia James and I ran around the NC State campus in the pouring rain, it was so much fun. Most of the time we spent at Pullen Park in a portion of it that I was not familiar with, a place with hardly any buildings. So we ended up just getting drenched hiding in the woods. Latter on after eating at NY Pizza we went over to his house and put our clothes in the dryer and I wore his clothes, he let me choose whatever I wanted from his closet, I ended up stealing his boxers. Because we thought it was the last time we were going to see each other for 2 months I ended up staying at his house over an hour past the time I was supposed to be home, I got in a lot of trouble but it was totally worth it. that day I had given him a bracelet I made from extra material from my tie skirt, Its not really girly, I put stitches on it that made it look more masculine. He loved it and hasn't taken it off since and today I got a bracelet from him, one of the ones he used to wear all the time.
A couple days later a family friend noticed the hicky on his neck and mentioned it, his mom, the family friend, and him just laughed about it. It was kind of awkward but really funny all the same.
James had read his plane ticket wrong & instead of leaving the 27th (the day before I came back from WV) he left this morning (the 29th) So I got to see him off at the airport this morning. That was really nice. He comes back to NC about the time I leave for ECU. I'm gonna miss him so much, I got so used to driving over a couple miles to his house, he made the whole time with my mom in the hospital so much easier on all of my family.
I love him so much.

I really don't post as often as I should on here.
Well as many of you know I will be going to East Carolina University next year, I'm kinda excited. But.. I hope I graduate. If I don't pass Spanish this year (which I may not) I won't graduate. if I don't pass I'll probably just take summer school so I can go to college, but I'm not sure if that could work out, ECU probably would want to know if I passed or failed before I hit that point.
My English teacher is so stupid, I wrote an essay all wrong. It was sapossed to have a central idea that she choose but I didn't do that at all, I just talked about stuff. I ended up getting a 100 on that essay and for the essays I did the right way I got lower grades, oh, well, I'm passing and thats the important part.
I decided to make my own prom dress. How stupid could I be? I don't have time, and I've only sewn one other article of clothing, my tie skirt. I wish I hadn't decided that, or that I could un-buy the fabric for the dress, I could have just bought some cheep dress and altered it to make it my own. Oh, well. I think I'll try to make this dress but if it's not finished by prom I'm just going to go out and buy a cheep dress. I bought the fabric for the dress for $60, its a full length dress.
