Memories By Inner Light

Today is the day of the famed (infamous) marching band carwash. I am not actually working said car wash, but will be showing up, mostly because the exterior of my car is filthy and I will be happy  seeing some friends, o and did i mention it was FREEEEEEEE? well it is FREEEEEE but donations are highly appreciated. *sigh* *checks wallet* *emptiness*...well dad owes me ten bucks so I'll put my widows mite in.

then i have choir rehersal *fwump* No no! Don't make me goooo!...today that is one of the LAST places i want to be....I'm really not in the mood. As it is, i sat there yesterday and sang my lungs off for two hours. What miffed me was the fact that EARLIER in the week my dad had asked me to make time (Tuesday i think) and he said, "I'll call you down when everythings set up." and he never did.  So fine. I set aside time and you don't utilize it, not my problem. Sorry. So then YESTERDAY he's like, "We need to go over music." and I looked at him and said, "No way." He got pissed. "Why not? You told me we'd work on this." Very calmly i replied that he'd asked me on tuesday and I had said yes. I made time and then he brushed me off to do what HE wanted and therefore, I did not want to practice, I had made plans and now my time was my own and idc if he got mad. It's not my fault.  And then Al called and told me he'd be late -_____- so i practiced....but it still pissed me off.

Also, I'll be housesitting tonite, from around 6 until w/e I call it housesitting because I'll only really be babysitting for about an hour. And then it's "Therese gets to watch CABLE TV OMI GOURDS!" -_____- i get excited over the weirdest things i know. To be honest, I don't have cable to WATCHING cable on an actual TV....is.....O.O awesome.

I miss al right now.....*sigh*....everyone's busy doing fun stuff....'cept me.....*siiiiiiiiiiiiigh*....

well that may change. If i can get my hands on some tickets I hope to be taking al to see TSO for christmas. ^_^ and then a little thing for him under the tree oughta to do it.

Good Lord...*counts on fingers* Christmas is 3 and a half months away?!?! no way!?!?!? *counts again*.....O.O waaaaaay......and there are TWO other major holidays, midterms AND finals squeezed in there! Wowza...my life is about to get VERY busy hahahaha.

*sigh* okay back to missing al. I'd better get dressed and head over to the carwash. it starts around 8 but i'll try and be a little fasionably late. >.<   <-hates being late grrrr

 I decided to join the Society for Barefoot Living. The obvious reason is that I LIKE going barefoot. The second reason is that i just felt like it and it seemed like something fun to do! Yes i kno it's very random, but w/e. What's life without a little spontaneity!? eh? Also...membership was free (*feels that this revelation somewhat taints my "innocent" motives*) which is good because i can't pay for any more stuff right now. As it is i NEED Julian's birthday present to get it's butt here STAT.

Oy, just checked Amazon. It's not gonna be shipped until october....no freakin way.....*sigh* I'll get him something else then and make that his Christmas present....woo! which reminds me...i need to start my shopping NOW so that come Christmas i don't have to freak when my bank account goes kaput.

Classes this semester...have ceased to wow me...i was wowed for about...10 minutes....now i'm done. I just wanna get to break...what's the coundown look like. Dec 18? is the last day? today's the 9th? 3 months and..9 days *wipes face with hands*

COming up in my next post! The return of my Anime Review:Post Summer Edition!

For now!
Ciao~

*ahem*
I'm officially 19 years old. today. yes. it is my birthday.

I have gotten....a...LOT of wonderful wonderful birthday wishes and I would like to take the time to thank everyone all over again for the truly thoughtful well wishes. It meant alot and i was pleasantly surprised to see just how many people wished me well. it was very touching. Thank you again.

I must say, (reflecting on the day as a whole) that it was a resounding success. Not just emotionally, but i got a lot done and still managed to have a wonderful evening with my family. I worked, i studied and i played hard. I'm feeling it but its a great feeling of tired and accomplished. Hopefully once i'm a nurse I'll be able to come home feeling like this most nights.

I think the weirdest feeling is knowing that next year....i'll be 20 years old. thats two DECADES. Not only that but it'll signify a whole new realm of life around the corner. Marriage, carreer, family changes, financial changes, alot of things really. I think i'm just a little incredulous, and awestruck....who'd have thought it would come so quickly?

Mmmmmmm *thinking*

well i have to check my schedule for when and where i have to be and then i have to play more SPore and do some reading (*grin*)

so I'll take my leave and wake up tomorrow one year closer to that future...weird feeling.....huh...

My deepest sympathies go to my friend and her family, I know perhaps you're tired of hearing it and would rather move on, but I can't feel right inside without expressing my deepest condolences on your loss.

We went on our mini roadtrip on saturday and it ended up going into sunday which was awesome. I'm glad i made a (good hopefully) impression on his aunt and uncle. I really love those people they are amazing.

Al was amazing too. I loved waking up, walking a room down and poking my head in to say good morning.  He's so handsome when he's asleep(almost as handsome as he is when he's awake Hee hee)... i could just sit and watch him for hours...i don't care if it sounds stalkerish...i'm his girlfriend i'm allowed to stare at him as long as i want(or until my eyes dry up, whichever comes first).

We had a great time. We got to test out the new hot tub with uncle john and auntie cathy. We had many hours of delightful laugter and conversation. Something i needed desperately. I met their cats all 12 of them and loved them all.

Auntie Flo arrived on time but amidst the good cheer and wonderful company, her evil machinations were rendered harmless.  We hit traffic going home and I just managed to squeak into church on time for the 5pm mass. but all and all the whole trip was a resounding success. Al got me a beautiful necklace and i love it to bits. I also got a new purse at an environmentally friendly store (w/e that means)in historic Smithsville. I got presents for Al and the family. And managed to not break the budget.

We were afraid at first because it had rained so hard on our way down on Saturday but luckily everything cleared up into a B-E-A-UTIFUL day. I hear that North you guys got hit pretty hard....my sympathies.

The only downside...Auntie Flo has worn. me.out. I am absolutely exhausted.

so on that note, i will wrap this post up and go back to the grind (unwillingly) tomorrow  morning.

Good news: We got invited back! So hopefully in a few weeks we'll be heading back down there.

Ciao

Currently sitting in al's living room. He's fighting with i tunes and i'm watching from a *safe* distance........................... <.< haha jk jk.

 The misadventures of Flapjack  is on cartoon network. We're watching it...it is proof that all of the children illustrators are CRACK SMOKING LSD HALLUCINOGENIC DRUG ADDICTS

Which is really actually kinda funny when you think about it.

yay!

haha

Ciao

I really like the campus here. Court and i hung out with her friends until around 11:30ish. Then we came back here and had a sisterly heart-to-heart. I missed those alot since she went away to school. I said some prayers before i slept and then i woke up around 8:30 and texted al for a litle bit. Everything's quieter here and alot less rushed, there seems to be time to do anything and everything just kinda takes it's own pace. I really like that. Really really like that.

her friends are sweet and we had fun. We watched Save the Last Dance and then talked intermittently of funny random things and then looks up weird videos on YouTube. haha.

Today Court and I (and maybe some of the girls) will be going into the town for some shopping and hangout picture times. ^_^

I should get dressed and start moving haha.

Laterz Peeps!

Haha, well it was an excitign day by the time it ended yesterday. I visited with the girlies. We went to Panera bread. The weather was pretty rainy and slick out.

And then I went to Al's. We were fine for a while hung out and talked to his sister, her birthday is tomorrow. And then we went shopping and did some more minor things. We were trying to keep under wraps the information about her surprise party which was hard to do.
But   the wind started getting really bad and just as he and his mom and i were just going to start cooking dinner when we heard a HUGE straining crack and then we ran to the window and looked and saw a huge explosion. A huge tree had been blown over and blew up the transformer across the street, and then all of the power went out.

haha it was scary and fun at the same time. scary b/c  they closed bother sides of the street and there were tons of cops/ambulances/and firghtfigthers. On the fun side, it was very romantic, we had a cold dinner by candlelight, he serenaded me with the acoustic guitar, and we snuggled on the couch until my ride came to "get" me. truthfully i would have rather stayed there and just slept quietly, comfortably in his arms. I could be there for ever. It was the most romantic mood we'd been in for a while and it was nice to get back to the basics with lovely scented candles, a blanket and nowhere to go, nothing to do, except talk, and be together.

today was alright. I had church, then lunch, then nothign for a while...some time to chill out, then my dad dropped me off so i could pick up my car and al and I hung out for a while and played video games, it was alot of fun.

Now i'm tired! haha so sweet dreams everyone!
