Crisis and Help from Dennis (of course)
Okay, so the first thing is, Dennis, can I ask for your help again? I have a friend who's getting married to a fantasy novelist who I've never met (they've been dating for all of three months). Because I'm close with her fiance, I got invited to a wedding shower, but I don't know her and she hasn't registered for anything. To make it even more complicated, it's one of those showers where everybody gets a different time of day to give a gift, and I got 9 p.m., which is "Party Time!!" according to the invitation. I was thinking I would get her a really cool fantasty related something (maybe wine glasses?) but I don't know what that would be or really any website to check out. Can you recommend anything at all? It would be mucho appreciated, as always.
Other than that, I guess I should write about what's been going on in my neck of the woods. School was good this semester, so far as I can tell. I turned in my last paper yesterday and am officially done. Very exciting. I think I did really well, but I guess my paper could totally suck and I just don't know it lol.
Boys are silly silly creatures, but I guess everything's good in that department too. I didn't write about Will, and he's still around. He took me to a couple of family things recently, but we're not all hot and heavy, at least not in my opinion. I think I'm just a good date. You know, good manners, friendly, etc. Somebody who won't get really drunk and hit on Uncle Earl. I guess I'm as good as they get at my school lol. But after that, and him being a jerk all summer, it's sort of like, "Is this it?" on my side. I went out with some of my girls last weekend and one of them asked about Will and what he was doing that night. I said I didn't know, and she asked why not, yada yada yada and she ended up asking, "Why are you even with him if you don't care?"
Good question, right? I don't know. It's nice to have somebody to take to parties when I need a date, or to my parent's Christmas parties for their businesses and things like that. I guess it's the same reason he takes me places. He's good looking, dresses really sharp, always says the right thing.... I just don't like him all that much. Probably because of the crappy things he said to me over the summer (I'm not serious, I don't care about making a way for myself, will just be handed a job), especially since he's such a hypocrite. He's majoring in business and will go to work for his dad's company. It's not like he's going to be out pounding the pavement and starting off working in the mail room.
Whatever. I guess I sound pretty angry in this entry, which probably means I should stop seeing him. Oh, and he's not even a good kisser. He gets my face all wet, I swear. I already got him a cool Xmas present, so I guess I'll wait until after the holidays. I dont' think he'll even care, actually, so why wait? Oh whatever.
The cutie patootie from this summer is still around every now and then. He's so dumb and sweet. He's like my puppy. But he's flaky and smokes too much pot. There's a guy in one of my classes who asked me out recently, but I couldn't go, and I think he thought I was blowing him off. Maybe I should call him and give him a chance. He said his parents just moved to Laguna Niguel, so it might work out to hang out over the holidays. I don't know. We'll see, I guess.
Boring boring boring, I know. That's why I don't post. I'm glad I don't have a "Loud Guy," but at least your life is ever changing (although not the ways in which you want it to, unfortunately). I feel stuck in a rut. It looks like next year I'll be at either Brown or Georgetown, which is good I guess. I'm starting to think my parents were right that I should have flown further from the nest right after high school, but I'm not going to tell them that, of course lol. I think I was just scared because I'm an only child and was pretty sheltered and didn't think I could do anything without my mommy and daddy. Time to grow up, Ash. Take control of your destiny! Cut the chord! I have to do something now before I end up living with my parents until I'm 30. I can see it now: working with dad during the week, shopping with mom on Saturdays and playing golf with dad on Sundays. Hanging out with the same people I hung out with in high school who are all going to end up at their parents' houses too. Doing the same stupid stuff. Going to the same places we've been going to since we were 16. I want to go out and meet new people who didn't come from the same socio-economic background I did. I want to date a guy who's mother would never consider getting a boo job. I want to meet somebody who's not tan and doesn't care. I want to date somebody who's putting themselves through school and doesn't have a car, but is really motivated because they're doing it all on their own. Doesn't that sound great?
I'm a spoiled little brat no longer! lol. I'm really not spoiled. Well, I'm spoiled, but not like some of my friends. This might sound obnoxious, but my parents only give me $400 a month allowance, and I have to pay my bills at the apartment, buy food, entertainment (and parking!), and gas with that, which is really tough sometimes in a town like LA. Just driving home for the weekend is really tough. I have friends who really have no limit. Their parents get them an amex and they don't care at all. I like that I have a budget because I think it will be easier when I'm out in the real world and make nothing just out of school.
Okay, enough of my looney tunes posting!
