| So I am moving to... Atlanta, Georgia. Exciting, huh?
Long story short problems with family, good oppurtunity in Georgia, so I'm going.
Down side: leaving my friends and family have to get used to living with my brother..again leaving New Orleans..the city I love. Leaving my Grandma Gia Leaving Brian
Up side: I get to see my oldest brother everyday I get to see my niece whenever I want/whenever I have off I have a nephew on the way that I will get to see right after he's born verses months and months later I get to see my brother and sister-in-law when I go see my niece and nephew New people New experiences Time with family that I used to hardly ever see My own place again! Or at least a place that I have to share with my brother but not my mother or sister
Well looks like the up side out weighs the down side but a bunch. Kara and everyone else can come visit whenever they want though
I'll miss everyone bunches and bunches though Oh and look I get to go to school out of state like I always wanted.
Oh AND no more ex's randomly popping up. YAY!!!!

| My life right now pretty much rocks. I like my job. I have awesome friends. I got to go visit Natchitoches last week. Then there's kinda sorta boyfriend. Things are going well with that. He makes me smile...a lot. You know me, all I need is a good kisser, haha. It's gettin easier and easier to get use to this "new" life, this new sched./plan. I'm content. Maybe I don't have to have
EVERYTHING
right now. Maybe I can wait for a little bit, on some stuff that is.
And I might move at the end of this year. But then that leaves school forgotten and unfinished. And I definately want to finish. Maybe I'll move to Georgia. Or maybe I'll just stay here for awhile longer, here isn't all that bad.
And the one that I thought was going to my one and only forever... It ended a long time ago, and I've come to realize that He's really just a big mess and nothing but a disappointment. I tried for a while to figure out why I was attracted to him, but now it just doesn't seem to matter. Whatever it was couldn't have been THAT strong. I mean I'm over it now aren't I?
:) Life is good...really good.
And the way he looks at me makes me melt. | |

| I'm back in New Orleans...finally. I started working at a Marriott in the city and I love it. Mr. oh so pretty great is gone gone gone. He did nothing wrong, I just moved and I down right refuse to do any long distance relationship bull shit.
My car is now in my name and I'm kinda excited about it. It means that I don't have to deal with my dad and be nice to him anymore if I don't want to be. I mean him and his girlfriend have seriously annoyed the crap out of my the past couple of days. Actually that whole side of the family has annoyed the crap out of me for the past week. And so thank goodness that Thanksgiving and Christmas are an entire year away so I have all that time to enjoy not having to deal with them.
As for my job.....wonderful! I work with really nice people and it's in downtown New Orleans which is always fun. AND I might be moving to Seattle in a year (end of 2007, beginning of 2008). Which is a little ways off but I have to start thinking about it now. Look at all the options. Other than that planning, I haven't been planning much.
One of my friends is having a baby April 10th I want to say. It's a boy and I'm super excited. We don't have any little boys in our families. (my mom is very close with her mom, we just as soon be sisters). So yes that is it in my life right now. I'm sure there's some stuff that i've left out and if I think of anything I will edit this post but more than likely you will just miss out, so get over it.
Ok back to work....and then home to sleep because I have the flu. woohoo....I hate the flu. | |

| So everything has been good lately. Halloween was good and Thanksgiving has been good so far. Stephen decided to call and talk to me. So he has a new number which I now have but don't think that I really want. But oh well. Eric texted me the other day too. Whici I was pretty thrown by. Let's just say that I made sure that it would never happen again. Stephen doesn't confuse me anymore. And I'm tired of the bullshit and drama that comes along with him. He likes me but doesn't want a relationship. He wants me but doesn't want to admit it. And I did not come up with any of this on my own, he told me. So I told him to make up his mind and either stay or get out of my life. He makes, correction tries to make everything so complicated. But I don't want complicated. I want simple and he does not do simple. There is however a guy that is simple. That has made up his mind. Who has no problem admitting anything. He's cute and tall and sweet, and he gets my stupid bits and when i say off the wall shit. He doesn't say wait what?
This is starting to look promising. I think I'm starting to like promising and stability.

Halloween has never been so good.
Everyone smile! It can only get better!

| Life is good. Things are working out wonderfully.
I'm moving back home after Fall Semester is over with. I'm gonna sit out a semester and work, then I'll be attending UNO in the Fall, work my butt off, and generally just finally make my life go in the exact direction I want it to.
I can finally see where all this is going.
ohhhhh how I LOVE my life!

| Not many of the things that I have done in the past have made terrific sense, actually some haven't made any sense at all. I've always taken the road that seemed more fun instead of solid, I liked the shakey broken road. I would take that road over the boing road any day. I was always afraid that my life would turn out boring and everyday. I didn't want the normal life with the normal occurences and not so special moments. I wanted someone to look back on my life after I was gone and say "wow, she lead an amaezing life."
So by going after this amazing wild exciting life have I screwed up what was suppose to be? I never slowed down for even a second to think about how any of the decisions I made could affect my life later on. I was just worried about the fun that I having at that moment. I mean don't get me wrong, I plan for my future but it's more like general ideas. Like I want to graduate from college in Broadcast Journalism/Business or Business/Hotel Management. I want to move to New York or Cali and I want to come back to New Orleans to visit OFTEN. If I ever get married and have kids I want to move back to New Orleans because I wouldn't dream of raising my kids anywhere else because I can't picture myself being raised anywhere else. I have that kind of stuff planned out.
What if I had known how things were going to turn out? What would I have done differently, if anything at all? I don't think about it anymore, but once in a while someone will ask me something about how things turned out and all I can think is that I'm happy with the way my life is right now. But then the conversation is over and I walk away thinking am I really? If I had known that it would have all ended this badly I would have never gotten involved. I would have never answered the phone when he called, I would have made some sort of an excuse. If I had done things differently I wonder where I'd be right now...still here or somewhere different w/ someone different?
I have always believed that if you are meant to meet someone and know them then you will no matter what decisions you make...destiny is destiny. I've always believe that no matter what if it was meant to happen then it would. And maybe that is a cop out because it's saying that no matter what you do you will eventually end up in the same spot no matter what decisions you made to get you somewhere else. I think that you make your own decisions and pick your own path to a certain extent. But when someone is meant to be in your life they are going to make it there somehow. Or at least that's how I'm hoping this damn universe works because if not then everything that I have done has just been for shits and giggles. Which is fun and I'm all about the fun but I also think that there should be a point to all the pain and work and stuggle.
I hate these damn serious posts - Mood:thoughtful

| I was thinkin maybe I shouldn't update this thing til tomorrow so I can spill about school as well as all the other stuff. BUT I'm bored, so I'm spillin now! ha
Work is good, I actually really really really like it. It's fits into my class sched. perfectly. MWF I have a classes from 9-9:50, 10-10:50, then a break til my class from 1-1:50 and if I have to work I have an hour break til I have to be there! TR I have classes from 9:30-10:45 and then 11-12:15. And if I have to work I have about 2 1/2 hr break! yay for my time management skills. This morning I had work...at 7 in the freaking morning. I swear I have no clue how I actually made it to school on time in high school, so glad I'm out of high school. It was fun while it lasted but to tell you the truth I really don't remember that many details about any of those 4 yrs. Well, I take that back...I remember the flirting, the dating, the drama, the boys, THE BOY, and how small it all seems now. Anyway.....
Oh, I think I set the world record for fastest lost school ID today. I went to fee payment, got everything straight (except for my book voucher, don't even get me started on that crap), and I'm about to leave when I realize I need a meal plan and then I realize that I lost my ID at the end of last year. So we go all the way back to the front of the line and add the charges for my ID and meal plan to my bill (oh and it's a big bill). Go to the end of the whole long process of fee payment, take the picture (I went to Piss Party last night and then had work @ 7 this morning, let's just say I wasn't lookin too great), and now I have my "great' new ID. Go over to the meal plan line to have some stupid sticker put on the back of my ID to show that I have that damn plan (whatever sense that makes), and as we are leaving Emily insists that we take our pictures for the yearbook....
Anyhow...I didn't want to take this picture and Emily made me, so somewhere btwn handing the girl at the yearbook table my ID and taking my picture my ID got lost/misplaced/something stupid and crazy that then caused me to rant for the next hour. Oh the fun right? Piss Party....well now that was a crazy night. I have never seen the Ramada so packed. Some girl bought me a shot, that was interesting, but she was really nice and I'm actually hoping to run into her at Yesterday's or something (what can I say? I know how to make friends and everyone loves me!). A guy that is stayin at the hotel that I work at showed up and then left a note for me at the front desk today, CRAZY!! He's from Jersey....I was like wow guys are bold up there. Nice guy, not my type. So we leave the party kinda early...it was crazy packed. I have an infamous fall in the parking lot/grass, yea those pictures will be great. Ha just pull the trigger now. But it was fun...lots-o-fun, got some good pics out the deal and met a cute guy from UL and a tshirt. So it's all good. Oh but there's a down side about the guy from UL, guess who he knows.....I'm sure you guess is right. What the hell kinda luck is that?!?!? Ok so the one thing that isn't right about my life right now....I want some sushi!!!! I want to go home not this wknd but next but I don't think I can afford to and I would like to get more sleep than I'm gettin right now! I want my clothes to magicly put themselves away, the dishes to wash themselves, and money to just appear out of thin air or at least have a money tree in the back yard. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem working and having to have a job to have money but it seems like I'm working my ass off and not getting paid that much. Maybe this paycheck will be better. Who knows. Ok headache and class in the morning...fun stuff | |

| This is my frist day off since I started working at the hotel. I really like my job by the way, it's great and I've made up my mind that I am going to switch my major to International Business w/ a minor in Hotel Management. Who knows maybe one day I'll be GM of some great big hotel or maybe even open my own, it's just a dream but I'm going to try to get there. So anyway the point of this ridiculous post is that I have had nothing to do all day except just watch tv, daydream, and think. We all know what happens when I start thinking...things get a little complicated because I started reading way too much into things and what not.
Topic of thought today? What happens when you finally have to face your past. That day will come. The day that someone finds out all about who I used to be, the day that I bump into my first love, the day that my past catches up with me. I don't have some crazy past that will threaten my future or anything, just a past that I sometimes wish had never happened. The person that I used to be, well the one I liked was nice but nieve, a daydreamer and trusted everyone until they gave her a reason not to. The person that I used to be but didn't like, well she was somewhat of a bitch. Ok, not somewhat, I was a bitch, completely harsh and not someone that had anyone else's emotions in mind. I basically just did what I wanted and to hell with everyone else. I don't really ever want anyone to know about those two "past me's". Because to tell you the truth I'm starting to like the person that I am now, it's a mix of the two. I'm still nice, sometimes. A bitch when I need to be. I'm not innocent but I am somewhat of a good girl. My life is pretty much balanced out now. So why would having to deal with my past be an uncomfortable situation if I'm fine with the person that I am now, because really that's all that should matter...right? Well, kinda.
I've said and done things that I'm not exactly proud of, I've hurt people that at that time meant the world to me, and in a way still do. To have to face those people would mean having to face what I did to them to hurt them so much. I would have to face them and see in their eyes all the hurt that I caused by saying things that I never meant, and I still don't mean, things that I would take back in a heart beat if I could. I constantly told myself that I could never go back because what was done was done. Said. Done. And over with. You can't really go back when everything is really that over with, now can you. I have so many thoughts everyday about what things would be like if we had just found the RIGHT words to say instead of the words that we knew would hurt the other the most. It's like if I have to face those people, if I have to look all my mistakes in the eyes, I would just end up torturing myself and those people by wondering and asking "what if?". What if things had turned out different? Where would we be now? Would things have ended anyway or was it just not our time? Ha, basically my head would just go crazy with questions and everyone knows how I am...if I have a question I ask it, I don't know how to not talk. If I had found a better answer for that person as to why I hurt them then I would want to explain which would just end up hurting them and myself again because it would bring up old emotions again.
I guess I'll never really know what will happen when I bump into my past, but I always wonder about it. I don't even really mean it but I do. I dream about it, and not on purpose, it's not a daydream, just a random dream. There will be a moment in my day when I'm not at work or when I'm not busy around the house, or I'm not completely engulfed in some stupid show on tv. There will be a moment in my day when I'm not stressing out about what I am going to do now that my lovely father has cut me off. And in that moment I will wonder "what if?", and I will wonder "what will happen when the inevitable moment arrives".
P.S. Yes I know that I am a complete nerd for writing a whole blog/post on this but it was my random thought of the day and I just could NOT get it out of my head. Plus, as I said I have no work today so I am a little bored. I think I'm going to go read a book now. Oh and if you leave a comment and aren't an LJ user person thing (lol) please put your name somewhere in the message/comment. I hate playing the guessing game. - Mood:contemplative

Everyone always says sooner or later. And then they add "sooner rather than later hopefully" to the end of it. Which made me think, why?? Why is it better for things to happen sooner rather than later? I mean it's better for some things to happen sooner rather than later but not everything. For instance... someone breaking up with you. If you are happy in that relationship and they break up with you why would you say "I'm glad you did this now instead of later". I would want to put off the hurt as long as I could and hold onto my happiness. It's like saying I'm glad that everything happens sooner rather than later. Well just keel over right now...I mean it is sooner rather than later. Basically I just got bored and decided to post this to kill some time before work. | |

| I disappeared for a while, deciding not to post blogs anymore. I just got feed up with people reading my posts and then making unwanted comments, which I know that I am posting this and leaving it public for the world to read but there is no need for mean comments or people saying that they don't agree with me, my life, what I'm doing, or what I'm writing. If you don't like it then don't read it.
Anyway... I finished my first year of college in May, rushed home so I could be here when Eric got out of his umm "bad vacation home". Well, a few days after he was out he found out somethings that he didn't really like. Let's just say it didn't go over very well. Drama rama insued and to make a long story short we made up and then broke up...for good. So now I'm single again and I'm liking it. Me and Eric did this little dance for about 2 years and when I wasn't "dating" him then I was hanging out with some other guy. I'm enjoying my time to myself. I get to have all the girl time that I want now and I don't have to worry about the boyfriend gettin mad or anything. I'm happy, which I didn't think that I would be if I didn't have Eric BUT I'm good, really really good actually.
School....I'm changing my major from Broadcast Journalism to International Business with a minor in Hotel Management. I will more than likely be moving back to New Orleans, going to UNO, and working at a hotel downtown. Well that's my plan anyway. Right now I have a job at a Holiday Inn in Natchitoches. Tomorrow is my first day and I'm really excited.
Sorority.... I'm Pref Tea Head. I have to plan the most serious night of Formal Rush, which is really exciting because that's the night that I realized/decided that AOII was definately where I needed/wanted to be. This past year with them has been amazing. I mean we have had our ups and downs, but what family doesn't? It's going to kill me to have to leave them next year, but I'll join the Alum Chapter in New Orleans and come back for Rush every year.
Family and Friends.... Me and my mom are getting along much better now and so are me and my sister. My brothers are wonderful amazing and so is my dad. We found out that my Grandpa (dad's dad) has cancer but he's doing great so far. My grandma Gia (mom's mom) is doing good too. Oh and the worst thing ever...my neice just turned 2 yesterday. Ok, so it's not the worst thing ever but she's not suppose to grow up that fast, she's suppose to stay little forever. OH and Natalie (mom's boyfriend's daughter/my stepsister) had a little girl in May. Her name is Olivia Katherine. She is beautiful. "Aunt Caroline" is going to sound so wonderful when they can finally talk, lol.
Ok well that's the update...I promise the rest of my posts won't be this long. Well at least I'm not planning on making them this long. But anyway, I'll probably post again in a week or so depending on what happens between now and then. - Mood:content
