1:21 pm - Growthing
|
I know 50 year olds that act like 20 somethings. I don't know if that's bad for the 50 somethings or if it means there's no hope for those 20 somethings. Grow up!
------------
Life seems to be going pretty well.
I'm happy with it at least.
The older I get the more I realize that you're on your own. No one is there to tell you what's right or wrong, you've got to figure it out yourself. And the older you get, the more trivial the answers become. What is right could easily be wrong and no one would really know the difference. The questions become more important, but what good are questions when you want answers? So involving people in the situation becomes unnecessary, because they wouldn't be able to tell you what to do. Their opinion of the matter doesn't help either.
Some of the most miserable people I know followed the money. Some of the most miserable followed their heart. The happiest found a happy medium and how they achieved that remains a mystery to even them. Something about doing the best with what you can, but things are said so easily.
My advice? Don't give up. No one really knows what they want not to mention what's good for them. Don't you dare go selling yourself short. Do what makes you happy, but long-term happiness, not short-term. Be open to advice, seek second opinions, and use your own experience before making up your mind about the first advice given. Don't lead anyone on, ever. It's just not good in business or in love.
Sometimes there are no reasons why.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Why does everyone like this movie so much? Yes, it's a good movie, I love it too, but why?
Is it because Audrey Hepburn is in it?
Is it because women relate to her character?
Is it because the movie is just so freakin classy? The movie is done really really well.
Not every woman that sees this movie can call herself a wild thing. Not every man that sees this movie wants a woman to belong to him.
Is the movie even popular because of the ideas in it?
Do men really want a woman that needs as much help as Hollie does? Or do they just think she's interesting and cute, don't want the other stuff? She is very innocent, in spite of what she does for a living. Maybe that's the draw...innocence? Is that what everyone wants? Women to appear innocent?
Read the book, it's completely different than the movie. Hollie isn't so innocent and she does leave and go to Brazil. I don't remember whether or not there is anything of belong to anyone in it though.

1:20 am - So screw me?
|
I was going to post this about a month and a half ago. But I didn't. I think I'll post it now though.
------------
Background info:
I went to college freshman year and moved in with two great girls. We got along great. We move in together in August of my soon-to-be Sophomore year. During freshman year I talked a lot about studying abroad 2nd semester of my Sophomore year. So there was talk about having to find a different roommate while I was gone, or getting an apartment that didn't cost so much so the two of them could afford it. And we did settle on a cheaper apartment.
So December rolls around, last few weeks of school. No replacement has been found for me, and again I offered my help. No response to it, so I don't do anything.
Roommate confronts me about paying rent while I'm in Italy since no one was found to replace me and my name is on the lease. I go to office to get my name off of lease, all that has to be done is a contract made out between the three roommates stating they let me off the lease. We sit down and write one, neither of them protest. I leave for Italy. Then I come back.
--I sent to old roommate:
If you really want to send me my stuff, that's fine, but it would cost less, and would probably be easier just to meet somewhere and I could get it off of you.
dish drying rack
shower organizer
8 large cups
6 small cups
John Bohner for congress poster
dish towel
1/3 of what we got back of our deposit money
Did we pay the last month's rent when we moved in?
--Roommate sent to me:
My apartment plans for the summer fell through, so I am living at home
for the summer and doing commissions. You are welcome to come and
pick up your things at my house, or you can meet me in Columbus when I
finish moving all of my things from my friend's apartment, or you can
wait till we are back at school in the fall.
We (meaning my mother, other roommate, and I) do not feel that you are
eligible to receive any deposit money back, for these reasons:
1) You re-negged on our contract with Bexley Woods, causing a strain
on Marlowe's and my mom's finances, and you never apologized for it.
The amount of money you skipped out on paying is way more than any
deposit money you would potentially get back.
$226.33 (1/3 of rent) x 3 months (Jan, Feb, Mar, my boyfriend moved in Apr &
May) = $678.99
2) We helped you move your things out, and you never thanked us (we
made a special trip to help you).
Further, any settlement money received from our possible suit with
Bexley Woods concerning their slimy leasing tactics will not be made
available to you, because you are not on the contract.
When we moved in in August, we paid a pro-rated ("half off") amount,
because we moved in halfway through the month.
--What I sent back:
Let me know the next time you'll be in Columbus so we can meet up and I can get my stuff.
--------
The good news is, is that since then I have found an apartment and a roommate. I am living with a guy. So far its been great, I love not living with females. The bad news is, is that I am being screwed out of around $80 of deposit money and I still don't have my stuff back. Hopefully, I'll get it when school gets back in session. Hopefully. Really, all I want back is my John Boehner for Congress sign. That's #1 on the list.
Oh, and for extra entertainment go http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/OH-Columbus-The-Residences-at-Bexley-Woods-627938.html and read this. This is my roommate. I found this later the same night she sent me that e-mail. Made me feel better.

Italy was fantastic.
And that's where I've been for the past five months.

This is the second day I was going to start this report in a week and I still haven't started it yet. I kept finding other things to do. I hope I start it tomorrow, but I doubt it because I'm driving back to Columbus early to go climbing.
I like it when people impersonate Borat...when they do it well.
If you ever go to a movie in Columbus, go 15 minutes late, thats when the movie actually starts. Or close to it.

8:10 pm - I don't want to do Time Based Media Design homework
|
I am still alive.
The concert was awesome. The party was awesome. I came to realize that partying at home (specifically with my brother and his friends, but can be wider scoped than that) and partying at school are two completely differet things and they do not mix so well. My brother was perfectly fine at the party, my brother's friend was not. But along came a school frind of mine that can't help but make friends with everyone. Thank you Egyptian Jon. He's my favorite arab. And everyone was happy.
My mother visited me today, she's having a rought time with things. My grandpa's not doing so well and it's affecting my grandma and both of them are affecting my mom. I feel so bad for her, I do hope she recovers quickly, it's not her to be so sad.
I go to art school. It's Haloween weekend. A lot of artists like Haloween. They like it a lot. I haven't dressed up this year. I haven't had the energy to think about it. I haven't cared to think about it. I wore my leather jacket last night, that counts close enough.

I might have some interesting stories after this weekend.
Hell, I already have some interesting stories.
I'm in Richmond, on a tuesday. I have paperwork for study abroad to do and it's here.
I have homework to do/finish before this weekend because there ain't no way Amy's getting anything done this weekend. And so I'm gonna need to work my ass off for a few days. And then this weekend I can relax and enjoy it all!! It's gonna be amazing! I've got a Buckcherry concert and a party in the same night (the last party these people had was great!)
it's all going to be oooooh sooo interesting!

11:11 pm - "Saving Grace" on repeat
|
Let's just say that my life is amazing right now.
I got accepted to study abroad. Bah-ha-ha
AAAAnd I'm single again. It was just time. That's all I really can say. It was time for me to be single again.
I was feeling a little awkward about it at first. I mean two years is hard to break off. I'm fine now, I've found that I haven't changed that much from being in a relationship, I'm just single. I'm the same person, I define myself the same way. So I tip my hat to Personal Myth class for helping me out with that one.
And there's a new boy. And how the whole situation makes me laugh.
Now I need to shower and do at least SOME homework.

Last Wednesday I finalized and finished turning in my Study abroad application. I need to get accepted by my school and then the school that I am going to to be able to go. All the advisors that I have talked to say (and from my own research) if I get accepted by my school I should be accepted by the abroad school. I am semi-nervously awaiting a reply from anyone concerning my acceptance into the program. Semi-Nervous because I am trying not to think about it.
With any luck, this January I will be shipping myself off to Florence for a semester.
This among other things.
current mood:  nervous

1:08 am - time is odd
|
Today I lived a week, but the clock told me that it was only in one day that i accomplished all this.
I waited for the cable/internet people this morning and then rushed around the apartment before I left trying to gather everything else that I needed for the rest of the day. I waited forever and rushed for a few minutes.
I went and took pictures for what i thought seemed like 3 hours...but was only 1/2 or less than 1/2 of that time. I guess sometimes when I lose time it goes slowly.
Today in a class, we ran over...the class is normally three hours long and we ran over like 10 minutes. it did not feel like a 3 hour and 10 minute class. it was half that time, I swear. Time still does fly though.
And now, now I'm on the internet and have been on for an hour and a half but I feel like I've only been on an hour. This is craziness.
I've also been on the phone a gajillion times today conducting business-like calls. This is also craziness.
I was taking pictures of a bodybuilder. I will take pictures of quite a few more bodybuilders. I'm excited. I really enjoy doing this.
maybe I will make my living off of taking pictures of muscle-ly people

2:58 pm - everyone's so nice here
|
So a week and a half of being here and having all of my homework done. This is the best thing that's happened to me all school year.
After tomorrow, I'm pretty sure that I never have to oil paint ever again.
I don't have to drag my ass out of bed in the early morning to go draw naked people anymore. That is, unless I want extra credit.
My schedule for next semester is awesome.

12:10 am - well how about that?
|
There was steak in the cafeteria for dinner tonight.
As it turns out, they buy the cheapest food they can and they had extra money left over. So they bought us some nice steaks and grilled them up for us real nice, and we had a FRESH fruit salad, and FRESH green beans, and baked potatoes, and dinner rolls, and desert. It was all very exciting. and now we have to go back to eating regular blah ick food.
It was a beautiful thing.
current mood: happy

I have the rest of the day off. So instead of doing homework or anything productive, I'm on the internet and wouldn't you know, I've run out of things to do on it too. I've checked all my e-mail, I don't feel like surfing, but I want to stay on cause I just started messing around with Pandora.
Pandora is a spiffy little website where you can make your own radio station. You type in your favorite song or artist and they do something spiffy that has to do with finding similar songs by mapping the song somehow and you give imput back and it's your own ever evolving radio station. You get to hear artists you've never heard of before too. pretty sweet. I'm pretty sure I read something awhile back about this the Music Genome Project (the whole song mapping thing) in a science or music magazine.
So go to pandora.com This is my 3rd consecutive artist that I've never heard of before, and I like it.
Me and my big slacking self needs to get back to work.

I walked downtown today and got coldstone's. sat in the park and then came back and went to photography class. Came back from class and finally purged the room of my old (the 4th) roommate. There are 3 of us left and we all get along. Amazing.
For Spring Break I went to New York City with Jonathan. It was awesome. The memory makes me happy. And then I return back to reality and am sad.
But in better news I only have 6 weeks and a day left of my freshman year of college. and my forcast is that it'll be easier than the rest of this semester. two classes are doing series projects that run from now until the end of the semester. So that means working in class and less homework cause I don't think the projects will take as long as previous ones! YAY!! I am happy!
I think I love everyone today. Now I'm going to go eat a cookie. YAY!!!
(oh, and it was 75 degrees today)
