Rising from the (apparent) dead
So, it's been awhile. Tara moved out, so it's just me and Nemo. And I hate living alone, this neighborhood gets scary at night, and i haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. This is where knowing Mike is a good thing... he knows how i've been about living alone, and how i can't sleep well, and he offered to let me stay at his place (aka the dungeon) if i need to. he's a great guy, and i am truly lucky to have him around. he's definitely my best friend up here. He's back home for the week, and he was like, crap, i should have left you a key to my place so you can sleep there if you get scared. plus, i like that he gets tons of TV channels when i only get 13. lol. especially since the CWS championship game is on this weekend, on ESPN, and i dont get that channel! I need to watch my Gators beat Texas for the title! woot!
but yeah, so he's going on vacay in like, 2 weeks and gonna leave me a key, lol. fraidy cat that i am. lol. i'd like to see you live here. i have never spoken out loud to my cat as much in the 2 years ive owned him. lol.
mike and i have been talking everyday, even since he went back home for the week. it's hilarious. i love that guy so much. as he says, he brings happiness to my life, and he might have been kidding, but it's totally true. he calls himself the perscription for janet's depression, and yeah, pretty accurate.
but other than mike stuff, and other than roommateless stuff, things are going much better.
i got a raise at work, which i think i already said, but it goes into effect next paycheck, and as it's almost a dollar an hour more (it's like 96 cents) it'll help a lot.
i also started going to the gym... i figure, if i'm mad at the world and have all this aggression lately, i might as well take it out on myself so that i can see results. i do a lot on the bike, and take it easy on the treadmil, just walking, since the last time i went and ran on the tread, my knee kept giving out and making me trip. my favorite thing ever is the elyptical (or however u spell it). i was rocking that thing. and since gym was closed today, i ran my couple of blocks again. monday i jogged 12 blocks (6 then a break, then 6 more) today, i just did 6 since my knee was already sore. but i feel happier, and at the very least, i am FINALLY doing something about myself. i'm NOT going to wind up looking like my mother, either of my grandmothers, or my great grandmother. fuck that. i have the power to change my destiny, so i'm doing just that. plus, i'm getting the endorphins going, and God knows i need those. I lack so much serotonin in my brain it's not funny, so any little bit of mood boosters helps a lot.
KT is going with me to the Relient K show on Tuesday night... it's at HArd Rock Live in ORL, adn MTV is taping it, wooooot! only $12, i couldn't resist. i'm driving down after work tuesday, and spending hte night there, which should be fun. we haven't hung out in awhile.
Licia and I are getting psyched about the Marlins game on the 9th (v. the Cubs, pabs, watch for us on TV!) lol. a weekend at PBA with my crew. minus Laura, who flew back to CT today. oh well. Andrew, expect a call from me soon.
PJ just went home sunday, and i miss him like crazy. we get along so well now that i live in GV, which is usually how siblings work out. we had a BLAST at Universal and Islands of Adventure. Bubby Week was totally awesome, and as soon as he scans me the pics, i'll throw em on here... he says he already misses GV and me, and i feel the same, i miss him. i love my bubs. seriously, any guy wants my heart, he has to contend with my baby bother (who turned 16 a week ago! WOW!)
finished my class at SFCC. i did most of a 5 person project since my groupmates suck. lol. well, Arin was a dream, he is such a great guy and a joy to be around, truly, but everyone went outta town, and the project got dumped on me. and Arturo didn't turn his stuff in to me, and i got tired of waiting, and tired of getting walked all over, so instead of calling and getting on his case, i finished the project and turned it in, without his name on it! he didnt contribute ANYTHING to it, so i said the hell with it, im tired of waiting. i was up til 3am working on it, only to have to get up early, take it to kinkos to get it printed and binded ($20 out of MY pocket, thanks), take it to SFCC and turn it in, and then go into work! so i was a bit peeved when he called me asking when he could go to kinkos with me. i told him it was turned in and that i was tired of waiting for him, and the hell with him. I was just tired of being nice. i'd snapped. lol. he is transferring to UF, and his transfer and SFCC diploma depend on passing that class, which is the same situation i was in. only he didn't do the final project, so in essence, i made him fail. lol. oh well, he can just wait another year to start at UF, the slacker! MWA HA HA!
so, thats it i think. if i didnt mention, i also got a new car, yee-haw! lol.
i wanted to go to the Keys for the 4th of July, but we cant take the boat out to see the fireworks, since dad wont let us use it while he's in stupid Canada on his fishing trip. grr. i was gonna carpool down with an old friend, but when i told mike, he goes, so, the weekend i'll be back, you'll be gone? and it made me realize, he's gone for last weekend and this one too, and i'd be gone for the next two. i'd rather stay here and hang with him, so unless someone has a boat they're taking out on the 4th and we can watch fireworks from the water, i'll be staying in GV.
also, any HP fans... book 6 comes out in 21 days... and at midnight on july 16, a bookstore here is having a HUGE HP bash to celebrate!!! Pabs, i know you're prob working, but that'd be SO FUN! lol!!!
mike is all freaked out now, since im in such a good mood. lol. big change, but i rather like it.
