| I'm considering shutting this thing down... because I hardly ever write in it anymore, no one ever reads it... and I'm starting to get away from all of the on-line fads in general anyway. I deleted my AIM account, I don't check MySpace EVER, and I've stopped checking Facebook 300 times a day... I only check it 5 times a day now. 
The only time I DO check these things is when I'm bored at home... or trying to procrastinate. Right now, it's the procrastination thing. I'm putting off actually delving into my work for my online course.
So I might as well just post an update on my life, in case anyone actually cares.
Jose and I are still going strong. It'll be something like 8 months at the end of this month. It really feels like it's gone by so fast. We're doing really well... when we actually see each other. It seems like I'm sitting around doing nothing while he works, and then when he gets home, I have to run off to work. Kinda sucks... but we see each other at night when we hang out with our friends.
We sort of have a baby kitten together... technically, she's mine, but she's living at Jose's place since my roommate is allergic to cats. Her name is Fiona, and she's about 3 1/2 - 4 months old. She's adorable! I've never had a REAL pet before (the other pets I've had have been rabbits, fish, probably a hermit crab somewhere in there) so I've been really excited to have a baby kittie around. She's not looking so "kittie" lately. She's getting so big already. But she's still small and playful and cute and fun... except for when she bites my toes.
I've seen some pretty good movies so far this summer, and there are a few left that I REALLY want to see.
Seen:
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (HILARIOUS!!!)
Iron Man
Indiana Jones
Iron Man
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Iron Man (I friggin LOVED that movie!)
Kung Fu Panda
Want to See:
Sex and the City (girlie I know... but I liked the show)
Get Smart
The Dark Knight**
Pineapple Express**
**I really really really REALLY must see. I cannot WAIT for the Dark Knight. That looks like it's going to be SOOOO good. And we all know it's going to bank on opening weekend.
I kept very updated on the NBA Finals, due to the fact that the gang had a get-together for every single game. Go Celtics!! I enjoyed watching it. I'm slowly starting to understand more sports.... this is due, in part, to the fact that I'm dating Jose Sanchez. Ha ha.
COLDPLAY CAME OUT WITH A NEW CD!!!! Which I am currently listening to. It's pretty good... very different from their previous albums. A lot more instrumental. I think they're trying to be a lot deeper, and more artistic. The tickets for their US tour (namely, Houston and Dallas) came out this past weekend, but the cheapest tickets I could find were $120. *faints* I'm sorry.... I love Coldplay... desperately... but due to my current financial situation, I don't think it's worth $120 to see Coldplay at a venue with which I am unfamiliar, and probably have a nosebleed seat, where I can see the tiny pinprick that is Chris Martin's head, and hear them through a loud-speaker along with the 1,000 other people who are there because they liked the song "Yellow" a few years ago. Call me a snob... but I really can't enjoy a concert and get the full experience unless I'm in the general admission pit sweating along with the rest of the hardcore fans. The last Coldplay concert I went to was awesome, don't get me wrong, but it was my least favorite of the four I've been to.
1) at The Backyard w/ my Dad - 2001
2) at the Erwin Center w/ Christie - 2003
3) at Austin City Limits Festival w/ Chad - 2005
4) at the Toyota Center by myself - 2006
My summer plans are pretty basic... I'm working as a hostess at Diamondback's and a waitress at Gratziano's. I'm trying to make as much money as I can... money's been tight lately. I'm hoping to make decent tips at Gratziano's and a steady paycheck with Diamondback's always helps. I'm also planning on taking 3 class this summer. I've already taken a history class (got a B+) and am currently taking my first online course, for research writing. It's actually easier than I thought it would be. For Summer II I'm hoping to take Brit Lit... all of this should, hopefully, help me graduate by December 2009.
I'm going to a wedding with Jose in Dallas this weekend... after that it's the typical work week... then I'm MOVING to my new apartment at The Oaks (living by myself! wooooot!!) on July 3rd.... then the Fourth of July, where I'll be hosting my 4th Annual 4th of July Bash! at my parent's place on Lake Travis. I'm extending the dates a little bit so that more people can have a chance to come out, if they have family plans on the 4th.
After that... I'm doing Baylor All-State Choir Camp in mid-July, TCDA in San Antonio in late July/early August... then chilling until I go to Boulder, Colorado to check out University of Colorado @ Boulder. Looking into grad school and such... theeeen my senior years begins!!! So weird... it seriously went by in the blink of an eye.
Okay well time for a nap, thus continuing my procrastination. :) Hope you all are doing well!

| 1) Everyone's favorite: Lose weight.
2) Boost my self-confidence.
3) Overcome my inability to make informed decisions by myself.
4) Find what truly makes me happy in life.
I hope 2008 is a lot better than 2007... which wasn't my favorite year ever.
Happy New Year, friends.

| They say, "Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice, shame on me." But aren't we supposed to give people second chances? What is the situation where we aren't supposed to grant second chances?
I keep asking myself if I've done the right thing.

| I'm confused. I'm not exactly sure what's going on. It seems like things are back to normal... which is a good, yet bad thing. I know that if we're together again, something needs to change. But I can't exactly talk about it while I'm in Austin... I guess we'll see how this goes.
I'm home. I've already seen about 6 friends from high school, the majority of them pure coincidence. And it was friends I actually LIKED in high school. I just can't wait to see my Ryan again. :)
I had Which Wich? (sandwich place) for dinner with Jon-Michael last night. Oh my god, it's sooooo good! I highly recommend that if you can find one, you try it.
Let the lazy relaxation begin. :)

| I ripped the band-aid off myself this time. But unlike when you rip off a band-aid, it hurts still. So much. I didn't want things to be like this. It was so much simpler a few weeks ago. But I'm being told I did the right thing. No matter how angry he is, or how bad he might make me feel, I did the right thing. I feel a little better hearing that. But I still miss him. I didn't want to do it. I didn't want things to end up this way. And I'm so so so concerned about our friendship right now... but I did the right thing. And hopefully that'll be better for everyone in the end.
Just pray for me right now. Thanks.
