Life As I Know It
So it was suggested to me that I update. You know you have totally lost touch with technology as well as your inner self when someone has to remind you to update your journal, but that's okay. Oh, and to that someone (ahem . . Amanda) I need your phone number. I'm going to assume that you have a cell phone, but if not, a house number will work just as well.
So . . I'm going to be in Fenton on Sat (12th). I'd love to see the few of you whom still reside in the ever-too-quickly growing town, so give me a call . . or comment, we'll work something out.
And . . as of Nov. 25th I will no longer be just a teenager. That's right . . I'll be an adult! It's really not such a big deal, but I'll be able to go into "adult novelty" shops, and mark "18 or older" on applications. I'll be able to buy cigarettes too. All the things that one doesn't really yearn for, but when you can't . . well, just to be able to say that you can is good enough.
So enough of the announcements and on with the update. I dropped a class at Ferris. Kinda makes you feel like a failure, but it doesn't affect anything, and I can just pick it up next semester. It was either finish the last half and fail, while it brings down my GPA, or drop it. It wasn't a difficult decision. And since I don't live on campus, I'm not at all tempted by parties or drinking, or well . . anything, for that matter.
I bought a new car. It's my baby. It's a '98 Kia. The color is arguable between dark blue and purple. It seems that the general public as well as the makers themselves view it as purple, but between you and me . . it's dark blue. It has a purple tint to it, but that's just a tint. So obviously it was used, but it runs good. My only disappointment . . it's an automatic. Yes, I can handle a stick, and the hunk of metal I sold off before investing in my current vehicle was a manual.
So since I'm up here in the middle of nowhere, no one knows that I went blonde. It was quite a transition, trust me. I have found that I am a complete failure with the whole "do-it-yourself" highlighting bit. Yeah, there is a fine line between highlights, and well . . highlighting all of your hair. But none of you will ever know . . hehe . . I'm having it dyed back to it's original color before Sat. And no, I'm not doing it myself this time.
I am still happily involved with Chris. We've been together since the beginning of the year. We have such a great time together. We've talked briefly about marriage and children, but nothing will happen till we actually have money and feel that the time is right. Marriage first, of course, lol.
So . . I've updated. I mean, that's really all that's going on in my life right now. I get up . . I run (yes, I still run), I go to school (an hour drive one-way), come home (by home I mean . . Marion, 'cause I always go to Chris' house). When it gets dark I go to my house and go to bed. I get up the next morning and do it all over again. On the weekends I work. That's my life.
So . . Saturday? Let me know. Seriously. If you don't have my number . . well, all you have to do is ask.

not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
