| Ok, shit is finally happening with the house and it looks like I'll be moving by the end of May. So, I'll give you all first dibs on buying my furniture:
-5 piece twin bedroom set. I realize most of you are grown ups and don't sleep in twin beds but the dressers, mirror and nightstand are perfectly useful. It's a fairly gender neutral set with a birch/blonde veneer. I'm asking $300 on Craigslist but I'd go down (not that way) for any of you.
--Black dining room table and 3 black chairs. Chairs have a bamboo/cane style backs and a sort of leafy floral fabric on the cushions $30
--Kidney bean shaped glass coffee table (Eric may have dibs on this). $25
--Teal-ish green armchair and footstool $40
--Hutch (currently used as a tv stand). Handmade, well-worn, shabby chic if you will $15
--Bookcase HEAVY solid wood, handmade $50
--Assorted records $1 a pop
More items may become available. Feel free to come walk through the house and buy what you want. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |
| This is what I emailed to him. I know it's harsh. It's probably the meanest thing I've ever said to anyone. I wish I didn't have to say it.
I just want to get to Athens and start over. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| I have never been so hurt in my life. I never thought Brandon would cheat on me. He told me everything about her too: young, student at Texas-San Antonio, avid cyclist (as opposed me...just a average cyclist). Met her at the bike shop, she showed him the town and then they went hiking. How sweet. Theye hit it off immediately and have spent lots of time together.
This is not the person I started dating two years ago. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| Please don't judge me or say "I told you so". I was stupid enough to give someone who I thought was deserving a second chance and it didn't serve me well in the end.
No more waiting for letters or emails
No more checking my cell phone every hour for texts or missed calls.
No more trying to plan trips (or should I say trysts) around the Army's schedule.
Now, someone just has to buy my house and I can move onto my fabulous life in Georgia. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| | Current Music: | Band of Horses...duh | | Time: | 11:27 pm |
|
| | So I'm in my house and I can hear Band of Horses. In Ybor City. Weeeird. Did anyone actually go to this show? I forgot about it until I started hearing the songs. Did they like have it broadcast outside the club too? I've never heard any other shows and as you all know, I've lived here for almost 3 years. | | comments: Leave a comment |

-Somehow afford to buy a new car
-Figure out how to get my stuff to Athens with or without new car

-Go to the library
-Anything else? | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I went and saw "Control" last night at the Tampa Theatre. Late show, by myself. I didn't even realize it was playing until yesterday evening. It only showed for one night, right in the midst of the Jewish Film Festival.
It was really good. I would say, go see it, but you missed your chance already. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I'm still so excited about UGA. I got my UGA email address and OASIS thing set up and looked over a ton of stuff on the website. Now I've just got to get this house sold and my life will be practically perfect. Well, if they offer me an assistantship it will be perfect. Even if they don't, the cost of attendance is so low I can bear to take out loans to cover everything. I compared the cost of attendance to USF's grad school, which I had never done before because I never considered going to USF for grad school. UGA's out of state grad tuition is almost the same as USF's in state! That just blows my mind. I am going to do it right this time. I'm not going to kill myself working two jobs. It's not feasible anyways. I'll have internships almost every semester. I looked over the list of agencies UGA works with for Social Work internships and there are so many. Delta Airlines even offers an internship! How interesting. Maybe I can merge my love of flying with Social Work, haha. I also looked over the syllabi for the first semester classes and honestly, they don't sound too bad. Not anything more difficult than my senior classes at USF. I'm so out of practice with studying.
You all have to come visit me in Athens. There are more bars per square foot there than anywhere else!
I had to take my mom to the airport today and that was sad. But then Brandon called and he cheered me up. He's in Texas now at Fort Sam Houston. He was in a really good mood when he called. But sometimes that makes me sad too. Sometimes when he's really happy or in a silly mood I can really "feel" it over the phone and it makes me want to be with him RIGHT NOW. Sometimes we don't even talk for a few minutes at a time when we're on the phone. We'll just be, as if we were just sitting together on the couch enjoying the silence. It's hard to explain but that's when I miss him the most. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| I GOT INTO UGA!!! I'm excited but mostly terrified considering I've been out of school for over a year and have completely forgotten how to deal with red tape and procedures (FAFSA, ugh).

| Last night, I had a dream that Gina and Eric got married at the courthouse.
Interpretation, anyone? | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| I've been on a religious kick lately. I watched a documentary about Evangelical Christians last week and one about Jonestown this week (I forgot I added that one on Netflix...made for good Valentines Day watching). Apparently, Evangelicals don't believe in dinosaurs. I had no idea.
As much as I hate religion, I just can't stop watching these documentaries. It's like a guilty pleasure. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | Bronski Beat just came up on my Itunes. I wanna be at the Castle on a Monday night dancing with Brandon. Except it's Tuesday right now and Brandon isn't here. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I'm probably going to be able to see Brandon for Presidents day weekend. I'm so excited. It's not finalized that I have all the days off from work...the person I need to ask is on vacation this week, but I'm pretty sure she'll help me out and switch a shift with me. We're trying to arrange any visits for holiday weekends. Even though I don't get all holidays paid, Brandon does and he always has them off. What is Brandon doing nowadays anyways (in case anyone is wondering)? He's at Fort Benning, GA doing something called Basic Officer Leadership Course II. I don't know exactly what that entails but Brandon says it's a waste of time. He got really sick on Sunday and had to go to the hospital. Had a really high fever. He's better now but still sick.
My mom is coming to visit this week. That's cool. If anything catastrophic happens around the house (nothing has happened in a month, so I'm kinda worried) she can help me deal with it. Yay!
Once again, my job is hiring. Anyone looking? No, didn't think so. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| I'm really trying to get control of my life again. You know, by getting out of bed even if I don't have to work, actually cooking food instead of not eating, clean the house once a week not once a season, make myself look decent even if I'm not going to see Brandon (hah), open the mail everyday not once a week, do laundry instead of spraying things with fabric freshener, etc etc. You know, all the things normal people do.
Today, I made enchiladas and cleaned the kitchen as well as most of the bathroom. I guess it's progress. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So I'm like having a really hard time dealing with the fact that Heath Ledger is dead. I almost started crying when I was telling someone about it earlier. He's like the only good actor of our generation. Besides Jake Gyllenhaal, of course. And Jake is mostly just looks nowadays, whereas Heath still got good roles. I'm just so sad. It's not fair. People like Lindsey Lohan and goddamn Amy Winehouse should by dying right now, not Heath Ledger. Oh and because I'm feeling emotional, I suppose this is a good time to mention how much I like the Childrens Hospital billboard on 2-75 that has Vinny Lecavalier posing with some little girl. It really makes me feel all mushy when I'm driving to work. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| I have today and tomorrow off. I have nothing to do. Well, I am going to Domenick's party but that isn't until tomorrow night. Initially I asked for this weekend off when Brandon was still in FL because I thought it would be a good time to visit him. Then we found out he got his orders so I told my manager not to give me this weekend off because I didn't need it anymore. I try to "save" as many weekends as I can because it is really hard to get both weekend days off. But she still gave me these days off, which was nice on her part since I tend to get screwed when it comes to days off. Case in point: one of my coworkers had Thanksgiving and the day after off, Christmas and Christmas eve, New Years and New Years eve, 3 days off in early December that I asked for and didn't get (she didn't ask for them off) and has Gasparilla off. Plus she just took a week vacation. Whatever. I'm used to being completely walked all over at work.
Anyways, I slept half the day today, made some food, went to the library and store and here I am now. I got some DVD's from the library and some ice cream so I think that will be what my evening consists of. I hate this weather and was hesitant to do anything outside because who knows when it's going to start raining again. Plus, what would I have done outside? Gone to the Gasparilla childrens parade? If anything, I would have ridden my bike but my preferred route (Bayshore) is occupied by aforementioned parade. I'm trying to do things that don't involve spending money, so yeah...not a lot to choose from. I'll probably clean my room later.
I wish I had just done something crazy like buy a plane ticket to Atlanta and made Brandon meet me there. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Mom: So what did you do over the weekend? Me: I went to an Irish pub with Gina and Eric Mom: Was it *really* Irish? Me: Umm, well, the bartender was Irish Mom: Neat! Did you talk to him? Me: I ordered my drink. Seriously, it's a bar; the tender doesn't have time to chat about the IRA/potato famine. Proof my mom hasn't been to a bar in probably 25 years. | | comments: Leave a comment |
