We're going to get engaged in awhile and stay engaged for a little while before we tie the everlasting knott, because we want to make a lot more money before we move out and so we can do so comfortably. I've been making a lot more lately. I've been averaging over a hundred dollars a day, so that's been really good.. and often times I've been doing it in less than eight hours which is really nice and encouraging. Finally I got the hang of doing this job quickly, and I keep on getting faster and faster which is even better:). I<3 my job. Not always of course, but most of the time. I'm pretty lucky to have an amazing guy too. It's not every day you'll meet someone who will give you their phone charger and share it with you at your house when you leave yours in Phoenix, AZ. I love him so much! He's just so awesome.. and he puts kup with me and my random purchases, and my shopping disease, and he will go shopping with me, and he takes great care of me right away when i'm not feeling so well. and in turn, I fold and put away his clothes, and I hold him when he's sad, and I make him Macaroni & Cheese, and then hot chocolate on cold days... and parmesan grilled cheese when i'm feelin' saucy. And I buy him dinner, and thrift store shoes, and awesome shirts that make him laugh:). and he says silly things, dances with no rythm, and grills me up carne asada. life is good, and i just wanted to share that with anyone who may be reading.*smiles a real smile* urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eclecticaction:1031 2005-10-25T16:58:20Z 2005-10-25T16:58:20Z I have made coffee, and it's way stronger than my parents make theirs. *whew*, yikes. It's good though. Work was slow for awhile and it just picked up. I've got quite the stack for today. you'd think with all this additional work i'm doing, i'd be getting my paycheck on time. No, it's Tuesday, they say it will "probably" be done today. I was supposed to get it either Friday or Monday, hot huh? Yeah, it's awesome. I have so many transactions going in and out of my bank account that I don't have any idea how much $ I currently have, but I'm not real worried. So today's going alright so far. I'm pretty excited increasingly every day about getting officialy engaged/married. *smiles*. I'm kind of amazed at the idea that I found someone who doesn't drive me nuts all of the time. I'm glad we're staying in California instead of moving to AZ. I love AZ, and we will be buying land there, but we won't be living there anytime soon. We love the beach too much, and mostly, moving and marriage and getting real jobs, and everything, would just be a little too crazy. Anyhow, Christine is still moving to OK, and that's cool. That's one more place to vacation and go visit people:). I think our next vacation (coming soon) may be up North. I don't know if we will go all the way up North, but maybe just Santa Barbara for a good laid back time, some great shopping, and a few good memories. *smiles*. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eclecticaction:927 2005-10-24T22:44:48Z 2005-10-24T22:44:48Z I checked the weather report today because usually we get some rain from the hurricanes elsewhere in the country, and it said there was a 10% chance of any precipitation today, and when I left the house this morning, my windows were wet and getting wetter. I dropped a useless class today, and picked up more PE, so this means that I get to work out two hours a day for six days of the week to get in "A" in both PE classes. It's been fun so far, so I'm looking forward to the challenge of more working out. It takes time away from work, but I'm not really very worried about that anymore, as we're staying in California afterall, and we don't need as much money saved up to move out. We're going to move into an apartment in Newport Beach or Fullerton right after we get married, and have our honeymoon in our new digs. Chris sold his motorcycle and we have been doing some engagement ring shopping lately. I went with my mom the other day and it was so much fun and we went out to lunch and stuff.. she had to go get her ring fixed so I tagged along. Chris is talking about us going on a vacation soon, and I'm really excited because it has been awhile. I'm glad I got "love" figured out in time and we've been having a lot of fun together lately. Mostly just hanging out with his parents or mine, or going to Laguna Beach, Pizza Mania, or here or there with Christine. The other night I had Jana, Justin, and Christine all over, and Chris had fallen asleep before anyone got here. He knew they were coming, but he was really out of it because when they came in the room, he woke up, saw all these random people, and yelled, "what the fuck is going on here?!!" He calmed down in like five seconds and became comatose again, but I think my friend Justin got scared to the bone. Yeah, when he goes to sleep, he's out of it for sure. Later, we were all talking, and he put his feet on the wall like he was skateboarding and it was great.... my boyfriend may sleep a lot but he's still awesome. Um, what else to say? Still reviewing medical records, it's slowed down a bit so I'm enjoying my life a little more which is nice. Yep, that's about it for an update. :) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eclecticaction:460 2005-10-14T07:30:27Z 2005-10-14T07:30:27Z so this is my brand spankin' new journal. Friends only, and only some friends. There were those who were always depressed, and they'd never seek to do anything about it except express a "poor me" attitude. That I couldn't respect, and I got tired of it... although I must admit, it was rather amusing for awhile. Kind of like watching a long drawn out soap opera. In a few of these situations I played a part as a kind of sociological experiment, and got some very interesting information. Namely, that people tend to interact according to who you believe they are, and cater their words to what they perceive are your perceptions of themself. Anyhow, I've decided to make a real journal. My last journal was spent dwelling on past milleaus, and finding who i am and making important decisions by examining every angle of every crevice and opportunity, and situation to the best of my ability, which is, in fact, how i function and decide-- by extremes, by beating around every bush and searching under every rock, painstakingly and at all cost, until it all makes sense to me, and after having done so, i've realized that you can only do so to a point. You can only learn and examine that which other people are willing to allow you to. In conclusion, i've learned a great deal, not only about who i am, but about what kinds of people I really want to participate in my life. To you, the friends who are left, cheers to you, and i raise my glass to the tried, true, the honest, and the trusted. I'm thankful that there are people like you out there, because without you, the world would be a dank place indeed.
