Anniversary...

Fri, 10 Nov 2006 00:21:08 GMT

Sunday is William and I's 4th anniversary. Crazy, I know. Whoda thunkit? Anyway, in celebration, tomorrow we're going to The Melting Pot. It's a fondue restaurant. I've never been, but I've heard it's amazingly delicious. As for gifts, William got me a membership to the YMCA and I got him tickets to see Bob Saget. After seeing his stand-up...I can't look at Danny Tanner the same way. It has just changed Full House for me...hopefully it's only temporary though. So, I'll fill you all in on how the dinner turns out.

Election Day...

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 02:04:43 GMT

As all of you know, today is mid-term election day. So far it seems as though the Democrats are taking a lot of seats in the House and the Senate. As of right now they have to gain 3 more seats to take control of the Senate. Ted Strickland is blowing Ken Blackwell out of the water in the Governor's race. It appears as though Sherrod Brown is taking Mike DeWine's seat. I think the people of Ohio are just ready for a major change. We have had a republican governor for the past 16 years...and the state is in some pretty bad shape right now. Hopefully a Democrat administration will provide some much needed change. I'm proud of Ohio Republicans for getting off their asses and voting for some people who can actually make change.

So, William has started doing blogs for payperpost.com and so far, he's made quite a bit of extra cash. Most of these things are extremely easy...less than 300 words. You basically get paid to give your opinion about products, services, etc. As I understand it, it takes a while for them to approve your blog and you have to have at least 20 posts in 90 days. Also, for every paid post you do, you have to post a non-paid post. I think once I get it going, it will be fairly easy to keep up with. I've just gotta start making some posts more often so they will approve me.

So, I think for now I've decided not to get a new xanga. I just don't feel like messing with it.

A lot has happened since the last post. I finished year 3 of school. Thank GOD. Only 4 more quarters left until I'm DONE. It feels good to be officially a senior!

I started back full time at my internship. So far it's been pretty damn boring...but, I'm hoping things will pick up soon. If not, I just may go crazy. Either way, the good news is that, since I'm now a senior, I get a dollar on the hour raise. This excites me greatly.

William and I went down to Logan this weekend. We mostly just hung out at his mom's because Aaron was working pretty much the entire time we were there. It was still a nice visit though...we usually don't see too much of his mom while we're in...so, yea.

The way down there sucked it hard. I was driving William's car...and I was just driving along and all of a sudden, I see the car in front of me swerve. And, before I have time to react, I'm running over this huge fucking piece of tire that some semi left behind. To make a long story short, we end up pulling off in front of this porn shop on 35 (there was nowhere else nearby to pull off) and go to the back of the car...and half of his bumper is just dragging the ground. At this point I feel like the biggest piece of shit ever for damaging his not even 1 year old car. The next morning we find even more damage than we could see the night before and I feel even worse. So, I'm not sure how much damage I did to his car...but I feel like shit about it. He's not mad...b/c there wasn't really anything I could have done. The tired stretched across the whole lane, there was traffic coming the other way, and I was going too fast to swerve enough to miss it. So....FUCK.

The rest of the weekend was pretty good. Saturday we went to the park and took a long walk. It was good exercise but it was so fucking hot that we could barely breathe. We got all the way to the back of the park where the pool is, and thank god Judy pulled up (she was dropping his sister off at the pool) and gave us a ride back to the entrance to the park. We were both kinda tired and thirsty from the heat...and it was gonna be one hell of a long walk back. We drove back in to see how far we walked...and it was 1.7 miles. Normally, 1.7 miles wouldn't even phase me....but, in 90 degree weather and god only knows how high the humidity was, it was a little rough.

Some exciting things are planned for this summer. First, I am going to see Panic! At the Disco on July 6th. I've never seen them but I do enjoy their music immensely. Sometime late July my grandma and I are going to Memphis to visit Graceland...which will be kick ass. And, I'm still deciding on this one, but The Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth are playing a show in August and I may or may not be going. If I go, it will be more to hang out with my friends/William than anything else. I think Aaron and Kara may come up for the show as well.

Next week I start my history class at Columbus State. I'm thrilled. I just hope it isn't going to be much work...cuz I'm not in the mood for it at this point.

I Have Issues...

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 19:38:31 GMT

Jeeze, it's been almost 3 months. 1/4 of a year. Time flies. A TON of crap has happened in my life since last I posted. This is going to be a long post describing all the bullshit I've been put through the past few months.

I had been having really bad abdominal pain since the end of March. And, slowly it kept getting more intense and last longer each time it happened. By the end of June I was vomiting because it was so uncomfortable. So, I went to the Emergency Room because I was really scared because I'd been having the pain everyday for over a week and couldn't think of any reason why. Long story short -- after doing blood and urine tests, and taking some x-rays of my abdomen -- they tell me that there is nothing wrong with my appendix or gall bladder and that I more than likely just have irritable bowel syndrome. This made me feel better...but at the same time, I knew A LOT of people with IBS and they never had severe abdominal pain and in their UPPER abdomen nonetheless.

So I dealt with the pain for yet another month until I couldn't handle it anymore. I made an appointment with my doctor (and it just so happened that I started itching like hell....no rash, no nothing....just relentless itching all over my body). I went to the doctor and told her everything and about the itching. So, she got some blood and scheduled me for a CAT scan. The CAT scan came back normal and all my bloodwork was normal except my liver enzymes were 4 times higher than normal. I expected they might be a little elevated because they had been in the past. So, off I go to see a liver specialist. He had me get more bloodwork done and an ultrasound of my liver, pancreas, and gall bladder. I found out that I had gall stones and needed to have my gall bladder out and my bloodwork came back normal. This is the end of August...2 months after the ER told me my gall bladder was fine. Fuckers. I found out that they never should have commented on my gall bladder because you actually have to LOOK at it to tell if something is wrong. Bloodwork won't indicate a gall bladder problem.

Since I was having intense itching, the doc wanted me to have an MRI before I went to a surgeon to see if I had a stone stuck in my bile duct (the duct from your liver to your gall bladder). An MRI is the tube thing they stick you in and it's really loud. I now know what it's like to be in a coffin. Holy crap. I was in that tube for AN HOUR. It was supposed to take like 30 minutes. This was freaking me out because I thought they were probably finding all sorts of shit wrong in there. I was particularly uncomfortable because, since they were looking at my abdomen, I had to keep my arms up above my head. I'm not claustrophobic, but being in there for that long, with my arms in an uncomfortable position, and trying not to move, was starting to get to me. (plus the whole itching all over your body and not being able to scratch it thing was terrific) Anyway, the MRI came back normal...so, the itching was/is still unexplainable.

Sooooooo...September 6th, I had surgery to remove my gall bladder...it was tons of fun. At least my surgeon was hot. I was informed by the nurse right before I went into surgery that since I was having laproscopic surgery (where they just make tiny incisions and use a camera to see inside instead of slicing you completely open...much less recovery time) that they have to pump my abdomen full of air until it looks like I'm 9 months pregnant. So, as you may or may not be able to imagine...going from never pregnant ever to 9 months pregnant and then back down to nothing in a matter of minutes is slightly painful. I felt like I did about 8971324 situps. I'm doing much better now, no more feeling like my stomach is exploding and I'm going to die at any minute...except for the fact that I am currently having an allergic reaction to either the stitches or the adhesive they used to keep the bandages on me. I've got this gross rash all around my incisions (I have 4, one on my side, one below my belly button, and 2 on my stomach)...and I think the rest of my body is freaking out too because I've got these itchy bumps all over my arms and legs...it's freaking me out. But, not to fear, I'm going to a dermatologist tomorrow...what? Did someone say yet ANOTHER doctor appointment!? YESSSSS!!!

So...if you've read this far...you're amazing. But, this has been my life the past few months. And, because I worry an absolutely ridiculous amount, I had myself worked up to the point where I was literally afraid I was dying and spent much of the time crying and being upset and afraid. Me being itchy and in pain and recovering from surgery and all this other crap has taken a toll on William and I's relationship. He's been really wonderful and supportive and helped me A LOT right after surgery. But, since I've been stressed and itchy and in pain...I haven't felt affectionate at all....in any way. OH! We moved in together in the middle of August (with 2 of my friends)...I forgot about that. So basically, ever since we've been living together it's like we're just roommates. He sleeps in his bed, I sleep in mine. Like I said, he's been amazing with all of it...but, it makes me feel bad. I just hope once I get completely better and non-itchy, things will go back to the way they always have been between us. I'm pretty confident they will. The 4 year anniversary is coming up in a little over a month.

School started back September 20th and I HATE it already. I'm just tired of being in school. I know I should appreciate it and be thankful that I'm able to go period...but, I don't. OSU's business school is really cut-throat and I feel like everyone knows so much more than I do. I'm just ready to be done and live my average life and get away from people that strive to be the CEO of a major coporation and make me feel like a nobody. Ugh.

Life is frustrating right now. 2006 has, in general, not been a good year for me. In January, the day before my birthday, I found out my grandpa was dying. The day before easter, he died. Shortly there after my health problems began and are still going on. The majority of this year has been spent crying, stressing, freaking out, worrying, etc. I really hope 2007 is going to be a better year than this one has been.

I'm done ranting now.

P.S.- This year hasn't been ALL bad. I've lost about 40 pounds in the past 6 months and I'm still continuing to lose. I'm very proud of myself for this and I know it's something that I need to do so down the road I don't end up with diabetes and all other sorts of fun stuff.

Holy shit...I have NO WORDS to describe how fucking AMAZING Panic! was tonight. They put on one hell of a show. If you have the chance to see them...I highly recommend it. They did covers of "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead "Karma Police" and of course most of their stuff. They are a band that you can tell really enjoys getting on a stage and performing...a lot of bands are just boring. They are truly talented...they've got Cello, Banjo, Piano, and Xylophone, plus all the normal instruments. Plus, they have like burlesque style entertainers on stage a lot while they're performing. It had a very Moulin Rouge feel to it. It rocked the proverbial casbah.

This band called The Hush Sound played before them. I wasn't impressed. I hadn't heard any of their stuff before...but they sucked live. The next band was The Dresden Dolls. I was expecting to LOATHE them because I had several people tell me ahead of time that they would make me hate my life. But, I actually enjoyed them. They're very...weird...but still kinda cool. I intend to check out some of their recorded stuff to see if my enjoyment of them was just a fluke. The thing that sealed the deal for me with their performance was when they called Brandon from Panic! At the Disco out and began their rendition of Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time." The crowd erupted in laughter and eventually ended up dancing and singing along. It was horrific and terrific all at the same time...if that's possible.

So...my love for Panic! continues to grow. I can't wait for them to come out with some new stuff. Sadly, though, it is time for bed.

I'm thinking of making a new xanga...I'm tired of this one. Does anybody know how to transfer all of my old posts from this one to the new one? Or is that even possible?

My friend Katie has instructed me to update. And, for some strange reason, I actually feel motivated to do so.

A lot has happened in the past month or so. Most of it I don't care to recall...so, we'll just skip over it.

This week has been full of crap. 2 midterms does not make me happy...in any way. I met with my advisor on Tuesday to make sure I'm on the right track with my classes and to make sure that I'm taking stuff at the right time/in the best order. She, as I predicted, was of little to no help. Basically, I had to stop studying for my test an hour earlier to go meet with her. Ugh, if I have one complaint about OSU it's the shit quality of my academic advisor...if you even want to call her that. The next time I see her will probably be before I graduate. Anyway, I scheduled for next fall and I'll FINALLY be starting my major classes. It's been a long time coming. I'm taking my second history class at Columbus State this summer because it's cheaper and the class will be easier. So, when I start the fall of my senior year I will have 14 classes left to take. It's looking like I'll graduate Dec. 2007...or August 2007 if I choose to take summer classes.

Other than school...not much has been going on. I know...I'm SOOO interesting. I've just been spending time with my grandma. It's really hard for me to go to their house and him not be there anymore...but, it will just take time. I miss him terribly and there will never be another person in the world like him. He ALWAYS put everyone before himself...I wish I was that way.

That was my update. You're welcome Katie! lol

EDIT: I just thought of something exciting I wanted to say...but forgot about earlier!!! This summer I'm going to take a week off of work and my grandma and I are going to drive to Memphis and go to Graceland!!!! (she's always wanted to go and just never made it) and probably some other stuff too. Then from Memphis we're going to drive to my dad's in Kansas and then come back home. I went to Graceland with my mom, aunt, and cousin when I was 12...and I've been obsessed with Elvis ever since. I'm just fascinated by his life for whatever reason. I've heard they've opened up more parts of the house so I'm excited to go back. It'll probably just take my already ridiculous obsession to an even more ridiculous level.

I'm leaving for VEGAS in the morning!! I'm so excited. I haven't been on a real vacation in WAY too long. We're staying at New York New York. We leave tomorrow morning and get back Friday at midnight. (Or Saturday...whichever way you want to look at it.)

William and I went to WV this weekend. We mostly just hung out with Aaron and visited his mom and grandma. We got there Friday night at about 10 or so and we picked Aaron up and went to Giovanni's for some pizza goodness. Saturday we went up to his mom's and ended up going to dinner at Reno's and then decided we wanted to go see a movie in Logan's new movie theater. It's nice to be able to go to a movie when we go down there if we want. We met up with Aaron and Kara and saw Date Movie. (We only saw it because either we'd already seen most of the movies there, or had no interest in seeing the rest of them.) I didn't expect much from it...and, of course, not too much was delivered. There were some amusing parts...but, movies that have to try so hard to be funny, just aren't that funny to me. Oh well, it was something to do.

So, just thought I'd write a little update before I leave. I'll let you know how it was when I get back!
