Every Time
Tuesday, October 25, 2005
Carry me far away
Don't hold back I won't break
Leave the world behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time
I know it's been awhile. I just don't have as much to write about these days. That may be a good thing because my life is a bit less dramatic than before. Or maybe I'm just getting lazy. Probab;y the latter.
Again I feel like evaluating my friendships. I have a few things going on that are making me think about the people in my life that I love and trust. I hate feeling like people that are supposed to be my friends, people that are pretty much family to me, don't have my best interests at heart. And then I try to say something to them and it gets turned around into me being the bad guy.
In one situation I have this friend who I thought I'd been a good friend to. We don't see each other as much anymore but we also don't keep the same kind of schedules. I thank God for the internet because it makes it easier to keep in touch with people. But it also takes away a certain kind of intimacy. How can someone accuse you of being a bad friend when you have no idea that something's bothering them and therefore don't think to ask "What's wrong?" I'm sorry that I don't read internet emotion and that when I begin talking to a friend the first words out of my mouth aren't "What's wrong." If you have a problem and want to talk about it than TELL ME rather than waiting for me to take some kind of hint. You accuse me from walking away from problems but then I ask you if you have anymore to say on a certain subject and you tell me no. Therefore I assume that things are better. I even ASKED if things were better and you said yes. I'm sick of this. I am not a mind reader and I AM a good friend. I don't want anyone to say otherwise. I do worry about my friends and when my friends have a problem and ASK for an ear to listen. But the telephone does work two ways and if I'm supposed to be an understanding friend I need to at least be told there's something that needs to be talked about. I am REALLY angry.
As for the other problem... this person isn't exactly a good friend. In fact, the people that I do consider good friends have told me to stay away from him. And so finally I told him exactly what I think about him and this results in him acting like a child, which shouldn't surprise me. I hate that people who are so flawed decide to act reactive instead of proactive and blame me for their bad lives. It's call therapy, get some.
Anyway. Done with my soapbox for the time being.
Things with D are good. I find myself loving him more and more every day. I adore the moments when he doesn't know I'm watching and he pulls some cute face and I think to myself, "Wow, that's MY boyfriend, that adorable man over there." I am seriously smitten.
I totally exhausted today and I'm not exactly sure why. At work last night Jack and I had a talk about the way things are run in my store and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that a lot of what goes on in that place is total bullshit. I'm planning on quitting as soon as I can get my butt in gear and go *shudder* job hunting. I do love the job and if there wasn't such a thing about politics there I would stay. But those aren't my kind of politics.
I would type more. But there's too much in my head. I will try to organize it and then return.
More soon.

Underneath It All
Saturday, October 15, 2005
And you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I've ever had
And when it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad

You're really lovely underneath it all
You want to love me underneath it all
I'm really lucky underneath it all
You're really lovely


I can't believe I used to update this blog every day and now I'm lucky if I get in a weekly entry. I just don't have the time and my life isn't exactly as drama filled as it used to be. And that's definitely a good thing.

School is going. I really wish I could just be done. I'm tired of having no money, of having too much homework, of having to sit through boring lectures when I'd much rather be OUT THERE. My teachers are okay and I do like Century but school just seems like old news. I know everyone says that an education is so important but so is getting experience and I don't feel like I'm getting enough of that. I feel restless. I want to move on with it.

Work is work. Suddenly we've gotten very busy, I'm sure due to the fact that the Starbucks down the street is closed so we're now getting their customers (some of who are becoming our customers). The last two days I've barely had time to breathe, let alone get things done at a normal pace. But... I don't feel like I really get any appreciation for it. Tracy always saying stuff like, "You're a star" and "Thanks for being so awesome" but it's so generic. I know she pretty much figures I'm just another person she has to boss around. It's obnoxious. This is yet another reason I wish I was done with school, so I can find a job a little bit better than getting bossed around but some airhead.

I have to say I'm a little annoyed with Aunt Gayle. She's been dating this guy Mark, which is all find and good, but he's changing her and I don't think it's for the better. When she was married to Gary and when she was dating her ex she still always paid attention to the e-mails I sent her and sent me e-mails with more than just what's going on between her and Mark. However, since she's been dating this guy all she can talk about is him and it's not that I'm not happy about her. But what about the rest of her life? The thing that bums me out the most is that she won't even be at Thanksgiving this year. I feel like I've lost a friend. I'm so trying not to be selfish, I want her to be happy. But since when did men come between female bonds?

The girls are good. Sounds like Amber's settled into married life and I can't wait to take a trip to LaX with Shan for a girls only weekend. Shan's busy planning her wedding and New Years and I try to spend at least a day a week with her so I can still remember what it's like to be a girl, lol. I'm super excited for Halloween, especially since Shan and Ryan will be there so that when D's doing his schmoozing thing I'll have some friends of mine own around. I've e-mailed a bit with Jen and it sounds like after Shan's wedding she'll be coming to stay with me till she heads back to Englad, so that should be good. Maybe we can reconnect after the last (bad) visit. I feel bad because I haven't talked to Lewann in awhile but, then again, she hasn't exactly called me either. And Christine... I don't know. I invited her out to D's for the PJ party and she told me to call and remind her. I called AND texted her and she didn't even get back to me to tell me she couldn't. It's hard to be mad at Christine because she's so.... well, she's CHRISTINE. But I can't stand people that flake out like that and this is far from the first time she's done it.

Dustin is Dustin. God I am so in love with him. Sometimes it seems so fast, only nearly three months. But other times I swear I've been with him a lifetime already. And maybe with anyone else that would seem so played out and cliche but with D it just seems absolutely right. The fact that we've had multiple conversations about marriage and kids and I don't have to feel weird about that makes me feel so GOOD. I knew when I met D there was something there. Hell, I chased him for almost a year before I got him. And sometimes I wish it wouldn't have taken so long for us to come together. Then again, I have to be thankful because maybe I wouldn't have seen him as well, what with Wrong being in the picture. Sometimes I just want to move everything forward... I'm too impatient. And other times I just want to pause the moment that we're in forever and ever, just stay with him underneath the covers, curled into his body, held tightly and safely with his breath on my neck.

Life.

More soon.

Kassi, Halloween Costume, and DMB
Friday, October 07, 2005
Well first things first. Kassi and I... kinda fixed a few things. Basically she started threatening me about stupid things. I was at school yesterday and texted her to say PLEASE at least try to be nice to me. I'd been trying to find someone to move into the apartment and Kassi was basically threatening to act like a bitch so I couldn't find anyone. It had me SO stressed out. So she texted me back saying that she wouldn't have to act that way if I didn't treat her badly (which is dumb because what am I supposed to do, sit back and take it). So I said that to her and then told her that I wasn't going to move out so we had to find a way to live together. So... we're going to sit down and come up with some ground rules. We'll never be friends, I still think she's an absolute bitch and if I had a choice I'd kick her out of the apartment. But....we have to live together, might as well try to be civil.

Last night Shannon and I went shopping for Halloween costumes. I've been stressing because most costumes out there are pretty skimpy and I'm not exactly comfortable with my body right now. So we wandered the mall and ended up at Ragstock. At first we started trying on these HYSTERICAL 80's prom dresses. Man those things were hideous! However, they were also too small, which was kind of a bummer. Then we started trying on cheerleader costumes... like, real cheerleader costumes. We each found one so.... we're gonna be cheerleaders, lol. I'm pumped, Halloween is gonna be good times!

I am SO psyched about the early Christmas present I'm going to get Dustin. I already got him a little something but then I found out that Dave Matthews Band tickets go on sale tomorrow. Dustin ADORES DMB. Thing is, I had to tell him I'm getting them because the concert is the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I wanted to make sure it was okay for him to go before I buy the tickets and turn my Thanksgiving plans upside down. He's so pumped and it makes me SO happy! I let Mom know and she thinks it'll be okay for me to drive my car to Illinois and then leave a day early to make it back for the concert. I am so psyched! I don't even like DMB that much but I know how happy Dustin is about getting to see them so whatever. EEP!

Anyway, that's the news. Gonna take a nap.

Kassi's A Bitch and A Good Weekend
Sunday, October 02, 2005
*sigh*

Seems my life can never just be normal.

So this is what happened and I will spell it out the way it actually happened because there is a certain BITCH going around claiming it happened a totally different way. To bad she's completely dillusional and probably also thinks that the sky is red.

On Thursday I went to Shannon's for a classic girls night: girly TV, pizza, cookies, chips, and chatting. We were all settled in when my roommate called. I didn't answer because, like a needy boyfriend, she calls me about three times a day and I can't stand it. So she left a message and I checked it to find that she was ranting about me not changing Sunny's litterbox. Which, by the way, I did, but I did it about two seconds after Sunny ate and she has this tendancy to go to the bathroom about a million times after she eats.

So I called the roommate back to explain that and she pretty much laughed at me and hung up. I tried to call her back but this girl has the maturity level of a 5 year old and has to always be right so she wouldn't even listen to a word I had to say. We ended up getting in a text war with me crying and being completely upset. I had to go home.

My night was ruined. I drove home PISSED at her. She already made me miss classes twice because she called me on the phone, bitched me out, and gotten me so upset that I couldn't attend classes. And then she goes and ruins my night with Shan.

So I got home to find her sitting on her fat ass doing NOTHING. The thing is, you can't sit there and lecture someone about a litter box when you can't get off your fat, lazy ass and clean ANYTHING. Let me explain to you all about the way that Cassandra Crowell lives. She is a filthy, disgusting pig. She hasn't even unpacked her room yet, rather she leaves her possessions all over the floor in piles. She thinks that doing the dishes mean halfheartedly putting them into the dishwasher and then not bothering to put them away when she's done. She can't be bothered to take out the trash until it's over flowing onto the floor. She does not know how to use a broom and she leaves her things all over the shared living area. Her life is made up of sleep, half heartedly going to work (only to make money to spend it on stupid shit that she claims she needs), and fucking people she's just met (by the way, that's called being a dirty whore). Oh, and she thinks that the way to get her point across is to scream like a 5 year old and call people names till she's A) embarassed them or B) hurt them so much that they give in.

That's Cassandra Crowell.

Anyway, so she's sitting on her fat ass doing nothing so I tell her that she ruined my night and that if my night's going to be ruined so is hers so we're going to clean. She sits and acts like she's too tired, which is bullshit because all she's done all day is sit on her fat ass (and I'm not trying to be mean.... her ass is fat and that's because all she does is sit on it all day). Finally she gets up and actually does something (which nearly gave me a heart attack) and the gets completely up in my face about cleaning and how much she does (in her dillusional eyes, anyway). I started to accuse her not only of being a pig but also of using my things without asking. She starts screaming at me and getting completely in my face so I finally lost it and screamed right back. Next thing I know she's HITTING ME and I'm pushing at her to get her the fuck away from me. The pyscho bitch physically assaulted me.

So after some more drama she leaves and I call Mom and Dad hysterical because I don't even feel safe in my own place anymore.

Long story short Dad is now trying to PAY HER OFF because she won't break the lease to get us both out of there. She is classic trailer park trash trying to get money from a well off family. And I am busy looking for a new place to live because I'm pretty sure Pyscho will end up pulling a knife on me if I don't get out of there soon.

So yeah. Kassi, I hope you rot in hell you disgusting, greedy, whorish trailer park trash witch. Fuck off.

I've been at Dustin's all weekend which has been so nice and drama free. He's been working a lot so I've been spending time on the computer and watching TV. It's weird to be lazy when you've been someone's maid for the last month.

Friday night we went to a wedding reception for the ex stepdaughter of Dustin's dad's girlfriend. Did you get all that? It was fun, it was Hawaiian themed which was sorta cool. It's so weird though not knowing ANYONE. I felt a little like a wallflower. But whatever, it was cool anyway.

Saturday was AWESOME. I met up with my little brother at Perkins around 5. We ate and then went with Dustin to Dick's to score some alcohol. We ended up sitting at Dustin's watching The Santa Clause 2, lol, and drinking. A little later Shan and Ryan showed up as did Walt. We played Categories, which was way too fun.

Oh it was a good night of drinking and friends and no one who's fat and out of their minds. It was so funny having Ryan there (the brother Ryan) because I've never been around him drinking before. We even called Mom and Dad which was pretty funny. Wow. By the end of the night we burned a couch and then pretty much everyone had left but D, me, Martin, and Bert. Then Ryan came back with two of his friends and Martin and Bert left. And eventually Ryan and his friends left and it was just D and me.

Here's where it gets juicy folks.

I won't go into detail but I was sitting and waiting for D to finish his beer and he told me to come sit on his lap. So I did and we kissed a little and then... well, next thing I know his hands are all over me. We're sitting outside by a fire with the stars above us... God it was hot. We ended up having sex right there on the grass which is about the coolest thing I have ever done. The grass was all nice and soft and cool and the stars were all twinkly and... yeah. It was pretty damn awesome.

Afterwards we came back inside to cuddle. All night I'd been kidding around about how silly our kids would look if we had them together and when we got into bed I started to want to take those comments back. We've only been together 2 and a half months and I don't want to scare him by letting him know that.... well, I do think about a future with him. So I told him that I was just being silly and I didn't mean anything by it and he kept touching my face and being all sing songy and going "Yes you do!" And I was all, "No, seriously D, I don't want to freak you out." Well... then he got all serious and told me he thinks about that kind of stuff with me in the picture too... and, yeah. It was cute. A really good end to a really good night.

So now here I sit. I have a house to go look at today around the Cathedral Hill area that has two guys and a girl and is looking for another person. And tomorrow I'm looking at a place in the Como Park area with 3 other girls. Fingers crossed I find something because I end up dead.

I shall keep you all informed. More soon.

About

I'm just a girl trying to find my place in the world. I don't claim to be perfect and I don't expect anyone in my life to try to be that way either. I try to keep only good, positive and trustworthy people around me. I've been burned in the past but right now I feel like things are pretty good. I'm in the middle of re-applying to school, I work full time at Caribou Coffee and in between I just want to have fun. I am only 23, after all, and I want to live it up. Like what you see? Feel free to read more.
