Sorry Guys!
So I know you're dying to know what's going on in my life. Yes, I've gotten a bit slack and have taken to posting only quizzes, surveys and quotes. But ya know, those are a reflection of me too. Oh well, whatever. Where to begin....
I left off with LAST Sunday after our wonderful trip to Clemson came to an end. :( Last week was really short it seems, flew by quickly. Monday was Labor Day so NO SCHOOL! Even Clemson had to go, so there's an advantage to NOT being there. Mom and Nana (and Mary Jo) came to see me and we went to eat (yummy Cracker Barrel) and around "shopping." Yay for Brusters ice cream too! I love it when my family comes here, maybe because they'll visit practically any time I ask now and when I was in Clemson they NEVER came. They have probably already been here more since July then the entire time I was in Clemson! So that's another advantage.
Back to school on Tuesday. Worst part . . . it was probably the first day I wasn't exuberant. Yes, people noticed. I don't know what was wrong, I just wasn't "into" school. I know I can't be like that, I just don't know what got into me. I've also found it's a lot of pressure knowing that everyone thinks of the as the "friendly, boisterous one" at the school. Now when I'm in a funk I feel like I HAVE to be the person they expect me to be. I don't want to disappoint!
Wednesday was yet another trip to Union (yay) to see the dentist, the doctor, and my family. I haven't been to the dentist in 2 years, literally. It's a good thing I have naturally healthy teeth! Too bad I can't say the same for my gums . . . . Looks like I'll be going to a periodontist to have my gum repaired. I have a receeding gum, but only beneath ONE tooth . . . who knows. Dr. Caston said that it isn't uncommon with people that have had braces. Great. My trip to Dr. Fowler was much better. I went in and after filling out tons of paper work I got to tell Skip (Fowler) all about not sleeping and everything I did senior year with the OTC sleeping pills and ephederine. Yeah, I now have my very own prescription to Ambien. Hey, it excites me anyway! I was just going to keep buying it from Michael but now I have my own prescription and I can't get fired if we do a drug test at school! I'm used to taking them, but now that I have my own prescription I'm a bit worried. Paul said that he knew at least 10 people in rehab that were there because of Ambien. So now that I have them I'm scared of them. Damn him!
Friday brought about our usual after school plans . . . straight to El Tejanu we went. I felt so bad for Rebecca . . . while we were there one of her kids walked up to her and hugged her. I told Susie to grab her drink but it was still obvious. I would have wanted to crawl under the booth! She wasn't too worried, she was just glad she wasn't smoking. I just know how my family is about drinking so I don't want anyone's parents seeing me . . . who knows if they're like mine?? Or they could always be like Susie's . . . hahaha!! At least when the parents saw me a couple of weeks ago I didn't see the kid and they didn't come talk to me. Oh well, it's a small price to pay for unwinding on a Friday I suppose.
After dinner we came home and lounged for awhile before heading out to Wild Wings to meet up with Meredith and her family. It's so weird how much I used to hate all of them and now I just go hang out with them on a whim. We were only out about an hour and then we came back here. We could have sent Meredith here with a key but what was the point in staying out? I mean, Ash and all of them were out, but I don't like Marc anyway. Mark was going to the Castle soon after going out so he was a no go too. Come to find out Ashleigh, Saba, and all the boys went to Platinum. Um yeah, we all know that Jenn finds that tacky and would never go so it's even better that I did come back instead of going to hang out with them. It's pretty official . . . I'm growing up.
