I'm incredibly tired of everything. I'm tired of work. I feel like I work all the time and never get any credit for it. I like my job, but it bores me sometimes. I want to be able to be creative and to really express myself, and working in retail really doesn't allow that. I'm sick of school. I only have three exams but I just want to be done ( Read more... )

I just got home from seeing the film United 93. First of all, it's amazing. I was literaly shaking during the whole film because it was so powerful. Although it is sad to know that so many people lost their lives on September 11th, it was beautiful to see how people pull together and muster the courage to put up a fight. I was so empowered as I ( Read more... )

What a day. I realize that no matter how long my Grandpa is gone, that it's always going to hurt. Today has been four years since he's been gone and I still can't talk about him without going through a box of tissue. This morning I went to mass with my Grandma and even though I knew it was going to mention my Grandpa's name as the special ( Read more... )

There are times in your life where the moment just stops, and everything petty that you've been concerned about flies out of your head and it doesn't matter anymore. That was what happened for me today. I'm at work freaking out about this and that, and my mom calls me crying and tells me that my Aunt Sandy, my Grandma's sister, was found dead in ( Read more... )

So, the big old 21st birthday totally rocked. I had a ton of fun, didn't get sick, and enjoyed every minute of it. My brother and sister-in-law had the lovely job of taking me out and making sure I didn't drink too much, embarass myself, or break any bones stumbling around. Luckily, they did an awesome job with it. Angie and I had a blast ( Read more... )

Ok, so I did it, I made it to 21. Now, at first I wasn't all that excited, but I was just being an ass, I'm totally thrilled. I think tonight will be a lot of fun. I've got great friends with me, and I'm ready to enjoy it. The best part of the whole thing is that I get to have a ton of different celebrations, which is always enjoyable. The one ( Read more... )

Why do I suck so much? Seriously, I get so depressed about not being able to talk, so in order to spite the doctor, I sing and talk like crazy yesterday, and then wake up with no voice today. Gah! I'm such a jerk, and now I'm going back to the doctor today, and I'm sure she's going to know that I haven't been good. It's like I'm scared I'm going ( Read more... )

I guess with the amount I use my voice, and with the way I use it, it was to be expected that I would have vocal problems, yet still I feel shocked. It turns out I have nodes all along my vocal cords, and that's why I'm having such hoarseness. My doctor prescribed strict vocal rest, dear lord is this going to be hard. I'm trying to be positive, ( Read more... )

For a Christmas gift, my Aunt Sue got everyone the same framed picture of my grandparents when they were young. It must have been from right before they were married, and they look so incredibly happy. I think that it is amazing that in every picture of them, from the one my Aunt Sue got us up to the ones right before my Grandpa died that they ( Read more... )
