my crazy life
so it all started wednesday. and then i forgot to journal.
wednesday was an awesome day job shadowing at ford. i met up with asia pacific operations and then went to a governmental affairs roundtable in troy with the us secretary of commerce. i got to meet him too. he really fucking cool.
then the ford people took me out to lunch. it was this italian woman and mrs. pryde's son.... i later found out. for those of you who didnt go to pierce, mrs. pryde was the librarian there. lol, charlie pryde was a flex allum and had mrs. rabideau as a teacher. he graduated in 1974. it was cool just comparing the downfalls of flex and all that stuff. he said it was much more radical back then.
mrs. rabideau, radical. the only thing radical about that woman is her haircut. ha.
anyways, so i was leaving ford world headquarters and i was turning right onto michigan avenue which is almost like an onramp. i was stopped waiting for traffic to clear and this lady comes up behind me and SLAMS into my back left side.... throwing my car 15 feet onto michigan avenue. im glad i wasnt wearing my seatbelt, cuz the bruises on my chest would have been awful. im okay, my knees are bruised up cuz i hit the dash and my back is killing me.... i need to make a doctor's appointment. that sucks.
anyways, the woman hit me and she kept on going as if she were going to make the turnaround. i honked after her and she finally pulled over. she was a bitch. for those of you who know me, you know i would kill anyone messing with my car. i was so nice and i wasnt even being a bitch. that is, until she refused to give me her driver's licence and her lying about calling the cops. she was being really shady. dearborn police was 300 yds away, so we just drove there.
after we filed the report, her husband shows up. we are walking out to the parking lot and i say:
"thanks for making my summer that much better."
they say "youre welcome"
i say, "sorry it occured on private property so you couldnt get a ticket."
i get in my car, drive away and the guy gives me a thumps up.
i roll down my window, "have fun driving your minivan."
the guy comes up to my car and asks me if i wanna go.
"get the fuck away from my car."
i lock my doors
"you're a dick," he says after he hits my window forcefully with his wrist.
in the dearborn police parking lot. i thought it was funny.
the damage to my car almost makes it undrivable.... especially in recent days when i have been finding more and more things wrong with it. the back bumper is hanging by a string, the left turn signal is shot, the back wheel is crooked, she hit me so hard the panel gap between the back section and the back left door moved 3/8" rendering it impossible to open that door. she hit me so hard the steering wheel is off center. i have to drive with the wheel at like 20 degrees to the right to go straight. its a fucking mess. and last night i was driving and the emergency brake indicator kept coming on. its junk. which is good justification for me to get another car. either way, theres $3800 in damage.
i came home and my dad told me im not a virgin anymore. HA HA.
being rearended was more action than ive had in two months.
"the truth is you could slit my throat and with my one last gasping breath id apologize for bleeding on your shirt." found that quote interesting. i used to be like that, and i still am with people i care about i guess. just an interesting quote.
anyhoo, so then thursday i went to some product development stuff. saw all the 06 and 07 suvs ford was coming out with. theyre all ugly, but it was really cool to see hoe far in advance they plan.
yesterday i went to media relations. the one thing the woman said that struck me was "newspapers are there to create drama, we are here to settle the drama." interesting cuz the drama is such a big part of my life.
then met with my neighbor, nick scheele, who told people to show me around, hes the coo and president of ford. really cool guy and down to earth. his office is awesome, right next to bill ford's and its HUGE. that was cool.
spent a little time with meghan and a lot with aaron last night. aaron had driven a lot so i offered to waste my cas. typical jack move, we ended up in downtown detroit at the fisher building at like 12:23. aaron had to be back to his car at 12:45. needless to say, we were both a little late. i freaked out, took woodward all the way home and ran quite a few red lights in downtown d-town.

i miss these kids.... a whole fucking lot. come home. my nights need to be more fun.
marc
marc and evan eloped? that scares me. i mean, i think its great that marc found someone who can run free with him..... thats what he needed. but god, i just cant believe they just packed up and left town. i miss marc already. i wanna make sure hes okay. hes important to me and getting more and more important everyday. i was sitting at fairlane mall for lunch the other day and just thinking about my easte vacation which included me running off into downtown chicago and talking to jake and marc on my cell phone. jake gave me an ultimatum basically: them or me. i chose them. and i think it was a good decision. i just wanted to thank marc for that. for helping me through that so it was so less traumatic than it had to be. marc actually had a lot to do with the healing process. there is nothing better than a friend and he was there when i was upset about jake. the day after he broke up with me, marc jesse khia and i stole litttle green men, street signs, and even the kitchen sink. lol. marc makes me feel good about myself for sure and just makes me a much happier person. i cant thank him enough for that. for sure he will return, he cant leave all of his friends behind (or could he?) but i was just thinking of what it would be like if there was no marc tomorrow. he would be harder to get over than any boyfriend. tho, its great to see him happy.
matt and greg
i can honestly say its a big relief to not have to worry about matt. im really sick of liking him, honestly. 12 months of likage coming up soon. thats re-dick. lol. honestly tho, ive been going about that one all wrong all along. i should have made my first move a long time ago, but i was too scared the first time and he recently has been hard to get to see. i dont really care. i can honestly say that i dont care. i think its a good/better thing for everyone. less drama. i cant express exactly what my feelings are on greg, but they rank pretty low on the scale from 1-10. as far as personality and looks go. thats weird cuz everyone else is so attracted to him. this is a big precedent for matt. as far as i know, he has only been official with this tyler guy and there really wasnt any physical contact. so its a big precedent.
last nights aim convos
i talked to two people i thought i would never talk to, solved a couple of mysteries, and made weird connections.
lets just say jack's gaydar is rarely off.
anyways, today's events include julie nagle's grad party and some other stuff.
