My last entry
Ever?
Of this year?
For a while?
I don't know. I don't vent well in any medium, and no one can understand what I'm going through. So I'll recap my last week.
Wednesday the 22nd, I wen't to St. Louis with a friend from Orange Krush, and we saw the Illinois vs. Missouri Braggin Rights game. The Illini won of course, and have won the past 5 games between them. Ashley and I arrived a few hours before the game in order to hang out and get something to eat, and party with all the other visiting Illinois fans. A friend of mine told me about a place he called "DB's" which is apparently a place where lots of Illini fans go before the game. Well, I googled the place and got an address a mile or so from the downtown area, and in the industrial, 'bad' part of town. Well, we walked there, not knowing what to expect, and when we saw the place, we really didn't want to be there after dark. So we walked back to Union Station. The food court there was PACKED with orange clad fans. It was ridiculously cool. They were selling $2.25 24oz cans of bud light ($7.75 at the arena) and Hooters was filled. So we got our food and headed over to the Savvis Center. Illinois was in control the whole game, so it was good. It wasn't till after I got home, that I was told there is a place called Dave and Buster's where all the Illini fans go, not DB's. It's a good thing we didn't go into the place.
Thursday I rode a bus home, because my car is broken. I got home in the evening. The bus dropped me off near where my mom's new work is. It's a high class steakhouse that just opened 3 weeks ago. So I was going to wait there till my sister could pick me up, but instead, stayed and ate dinner. OH god the food was good. I had a nice 20oz Iowa porkchop, and a loaded baked potato. I then went home, was almost talked into going out with my cousin, and watched tv.
Friday was Chrismas Eve. My sister got a letter in the mail saying due to her academic performance, she has been dismissed from Northern Illinois University. Apparently she didn't ever study for tests because she's fucking lazy. Then I find out that she's been driving my mom's Rendezvous around and shit's been happening to it [eggs, broken bumper]. She's such a fucking bitch when it comes to doing things other's ask her to do, or if she doesn't want to do it. She said that she can get back in if she writes a letter to the admissions or something. How much you wanna bet she doesn't write that letter. She pisses me the fuck off. Well, we went to my dad's parent's house that evening for dinner and gifts. I got a fancy toaster and a book and a $20 Best Buy gift certificate. My aunt and uncle and their 4 kids were there too. It's always a nice peaceful evening there.
Saturday was Christmas. No gifts from Santa. We go out to my mom's brother's house on Christmas. We do more of a buffet style lunch/dinner there. I received a sweater, $30, and an old University of Illinois pennent. I took $5 of the money and played texas hold 'em and finished second and won $10. My great aunt who gave me the money was happy for me. More of the extended family comes to Christmas, so it's a much more raukus time. Also enjoyable. That night, I spent the night in my grandmother's new house that's next door. There is a spare bedroom in the upstairs with a king size bed, and I'd rather sleep there than on a couch. The house got fixed up really nicely.
Sunday I went shopping with my grandmother. We hit the stores early and there really wasn't much of a crowd until 1pm. I got 3 pairs of jeans, 3 shirts, 3 sweaters, 2 vests, and a stocking cap. I had planned to catch a bus back to home that afternoon, but decided against it and coming home the next morning. That night, I went with my dad over to my aunt and uncle's house and played games. We played mostly card games. My dad spends quite a bit of time at his sister's house, and likes playing xbox and other games with his nephews and nieces. We ended up staying until 12am, came home, I watched The Shield, then went to bed.
Today, I was going to take a bus home at 10am from Moline. I went down to the station and bought a ticket. However, the bus ride was going to take 6 hours. So I waited there with my mom, and the bus never came. So we got a ticket refund, and drove 45 minutes away to galesburg to catch a 1pm bus to Champaign. Well, that bus didn't show up till almost 2pm, and I didn't get into town till 10 to 5 pm. So either way, it took entirely too long for me to get back here. Damn my broken car.
So I'm back home, not much better than before at the moment. I need to quickly figure out what I want, and how I'm going to go about getting it. So what it comes down to is me figuring all this out on my own. I was once a very private person, and I tried to change all that in college. I'm kind of lost as to what I should do now. Back to private I go for the time being. I won't be making any entries. I'm not sure for how long, but I'm not deleting so I can still comment on your exciting lives. If you care to reach me, for those of you who have forgotten it, my aim is Noahzark8. I can be reached at work on the name QuannumDots, Noahzark22 on yahoo, and barrythrew@hotmail.com on MSN. Hopefully, I won't end up dead after I figure out some things.
Kisses and Hugs
