end of july already...

it's flippin' warm in my house. ugh.

so i have shingles. look it up before you're grossed out. it's kind of just like adult chicken pox, but not contagious unless you come in contact with drainage and have never had the chicken pox before. still, not very flattering and they hurt.

got to meet some of matt's friends the other night. we went bowling and i did rather well. out of all the girls, i totally rocked the mostest. i got a 122 my first game, but matt still beat me by like 7 pins. but i creamed him the second game, so it worked out okay. :) his friends are pretty fabulous, though i knew they would be. last night we went to bridgett and ken's and watched the number 23, which wasn't the greatest movie, but entertaining none the less. the company was worth the trip...plus, we got coldstone. french toast flavored ice cream is a wonderful thing.

i'm making matt his birthday present and i'm totally stoked about it. i feel so much more me when i'm creative and making stuff. i hate when i do stuff early though and then the waiting drives me nuts. but it'll be worth it. giving the gift before the actual day ruins it a little.

off to indianwood to sit on my bum and read a feast for crows.

snippets from the life of the poor and unknown

so...update.

i finished harry potter and the deathly hallows yesterday and i'm a bit sad about it. it was an amazing ending to probably my all time favorite series, but i'm bummed it's over. and i can't help feeling a little bit sad about the characters who died because they become part of you after 7 years of reading about them. yes, i'm a loser. i'm ok with this.

now i'll finally be able to finish a storm of swords and move on to the next book in that series. and then wait until the last book in this one is released. so all is not lost. my geekdom will forever prevail.

so now that i've gotten the most important bit of my life out of the way...books, i can move on to reality. i've spent basically every day for the last week with matt, the fabulous new addition to my life. he's funny, sweet, and cute in my favorite kind of skinny boy, computer nerd type of way. i haven't seen him since yesterday morning and i miss him already. yay for obnoxious new relationship fuzzies and all that fun junk.

i miss my anna, who never answers her phone and refuses to call me back in a timely manner, as usual. if i wasn't fanatically in love with her, i might be pissed, but it's anna and i can't be. if you read this sweetie, fucking call me already!

i have a boyfriend...

look how cute he is...

it's a good day...

i finally got a job thanks to my wonderful neighbor. i'm working as a receptionist at indianwood golf and country club in lake orion. i've never seen so many disgustingly expensive cars in one parking lot before. it's kind of sweet to think i work in a castle. today is a huge event for belltire and there is supposed to be around 600 guests. we even have one of those sweet balloon belltire guys in our parking lot. i had to roll tons of silverware last night. ugh.

went out to main street billiards with amy and bores this past saturday. drank and danced a little bit tooooo much. had a blast until i over heated and some russian guy started following me around. amy was excited to introduce me to her jewess friend, who was an awesome girl. bores got her yellow shirt boy. i think i lost my license.

been spending a lot of my free time with tara and the munchkin. no matter how many years pass (we've been friends since I was 6) it's still as comfortable with her as if we were sisters, which i suppose we kind of are. we're so different and so much a like at the same time. i love her to death.

my favorite cousin is in from arizona and i'm excited to see him sometime this week. i've worked from last wednesday straight through until tomorrow, so wednesday and thursday should be a nice break. i get to hang out with both anna and elise at the same time finally. yay!

i've started drawing again since i have a lot of free time at work, so i scanned in a couple pictures for your viewing pleasure. i like to draw fairies...obviously.

quick update

one of the few good things about my dad moving out is the fact that i can walk around in a t-shirt all day and no one cares. that has been my day so far...lounging in my undies.

francis got me a receptionist position at indianwood golf and country club for fridays-mondays. it pays well and it's not retail, so i'm looking forward to it. i start next week. i also might be working tuesday and thursdays at a real estate agent in lapeer and i start school at the end of august, so things are looking up.

i spent the 4th at my aunt missy's lakehouse during the day with my dad and then went out to lake nepessing in lapeer to see the fireworks with mark, bryan, fitz, and john. the show was really great over the lake. i'm not the biggest fan of fireworks, but i enjoyed it. there was a live band and all the boys were slobbering drunk by the time i showed up, so the entertainment wasn't lacking.

yesterday consisted mainly of my mother driving me around troy to see different doctors. they are testing my labs currently. if those all turn out negative for infections and bacteria, i'll have to go in to be put under for more invasive procedures. i'm hoping that can be avoided though. after the appointments, mom and i went out to eat and bought flowers.

hanging with anna tonight after dinner. my parents are going to see toby keith at dte, so we'll probably just take over the house and/or go swimming.
