ok so i lied. i'm writing in my livejournal out of sheer boredom. i'll update you on my life b/c i know all my raving livejournal fans missed me....maybe that's an exaggeration, but it's ok

after having my wisdom teeth ripped from my head, i had a slow and painful recovery. apparently the doctor is supposed to give you a syringe thingy to spray into the holes where your teeth were to get any excess food out, well i didn't get one of those so just to be graphic and gross...i got lots of food stuck in my holes and i think that slowed the healing down. but sometimes old food would fall out and that was always an interesting surprise.

christmas was ok. my grandma had been pretty sick with a case of severe vertigo so that was a rather dark cloud hanging over the family. she's better now, but only because i made her christmas cookies. my mom signed us up to do room at the inn at church on christmas eve which is when the homeless people stay overnight in the gym and we had to feed them. it was not what i wanted to be doing, but i had to be a good person. we also had snow that night. well more like ice. it was pretty except my sister broke the door handle off my car b/c the door was frozen shut and then she broke my dad's key in his door. destructive huh? i got my dad's guitar from 1973 for christmas and uhhhhh....a chia head. that's about it. my grandma slipped me $50, so that was great. oh yeah, can't forget that my sister got a trip to england for x-mas. that's a touchy subject considering she hasn't even finished european history or taken art history or any course whatsoever that would allow her to appreciate england. but she went, i stayed in nashville. she wants to go to schook in england now. great...the only sane person in my family wants to move across the ocean and i don't see much stopping her. i bought my mom some rabbits for christmas through a humanitarian project that sent them to a 3rd world country that eats bunnies or something. she liked it. since my dad's turning 50 in about 4 days, he's spent the majority of this year trying to convince himself that he's 30. this procedure entails a great deal of physical activity in which he runs mini-marathons, lifts weights, rides 10 miles on his bike, and a lot of muscle toning....so i got him a work out mat for christmas. he puts my health to shame. that was christmas at our house for the most part.

i worked some at ruby tuesday and made some much needed cash. it was weird to be back there with a million new people. i also got to work whenever i wanted to work, so that was super nice.

i drove up to guthrie for some Young family time, but after waiting on a train to move off of the tracks for 45 minutes and then sliding past the young household on the 3 inch sheet of ice that composed Guthrie that night, family time was drastically shortened.

new years eve was spent in bowling green. there was a lot of smokey haze from a variety of different substances, lots of coronas and hooch, lots of champagne, and of course caviar??? it was a good time indeed.

i didn't want to come back to charleston at all. i love nashville and i miss it so much. i miss everything about it. i even miss Kroger. we don't have any kroger's here. it was nice to be able to shut my bedroom door and be alone with my cat. it was nice to not live in filth for a month. for those of you who don't know, girls are disgusting creatures who prefer dirty environments. i've become messy since i've started living here...much to my dismay. i had to leave Gunn, which i have to do all the time, and each time it sucks just as much. charleston ain't got shit on nashville. fuck anyone who thinks that nashville is just a bunch of red neck hillbillies trying to make it big in the country music business...nashville will kick your ass any day. god, why couldnt i have appreciated it when i had it all?

and so here i am...back in charleston. i'm trying soooo hard to be happy and put on a happy face, but sometimes it's too hard to do and i'm not gonna force it anymore. i just don't belong here. i finished my application for belmont so hopefully i'll get in. my mom is being shitty about me transferring closer to home, well like 2 miles from home (if even), b/c she thinks i'm cheating myself of my future or something. but really she just wants me to become what she never got to become, sucks for you mom. she wants me to be a diplomat that leads peace rallies in the streets of sierra leone on the side while simultaneously combatting the spread of AIDS in africa and then later in life she'd like to see me fight for homosexual rights and possibly run for state senate, followed (of course) by my candidacy for president of the united states. seriously, that's like her ideal plan for me, but it's just not in the cards. i have ADD and there are too many pictures of me drinking underage that would serve as ideal political slander for my presidential campaign. she's ruining our mother/daughter relationship with the way she's handling this. my dad's really excited about the thought of me coming home. he misses me. so does my sister and so does matt. so i'm coming home. somehow.

matt came down this past weekend for our valentine's celebration. he gave me a pretty necklace and he busted out a romantic side that i'll probably never see again...it was an exciting departure from the norm. we ate lots of food and went to the aquarium and walked about 500 miles and posed as aubrey's models for her photo class. we also got really drunk every night and danced in the room. it was so much fun! we're going on 8 months here on thursday, which sounds like a long time, but i feel like it's only been a month. who ever thought that elizabeth stewart would be in a long term relationship, much less an extremely successful long-distance relationship. everything is still perfect...we seem to take the bumps (and god knows there have been bumps) along the road with a great deal of ease. we don't sweat the small stuff and we just get each other i suppose. he's my best friend first and foremost though. sometimes i forget that he has a penis and i'll tell him sick girly stuff (like about periods and vaginas) that he doesn't want to know, but i think he's secretly curious, i think all guys are. we're just two gangly, klutzy giants that are head over heels in love with one another so in the end, everything works perfectly. it's my journal and i can brag if i want to.

my mom and sister arrive in 2 weeks with my car!!!!! MY CAR!!! it's coming to charleston until may and then we can both return to our natural environment. i've left my comfort zone for almost a year now so i can't say that i didn't try b/c i definately did. but i'm a homebody. i'm coming homeeeeeeeee. hopefully.

love.
