| First off...St.Louis!
So I left Friday around noon to go to St.Louis, Missouri. We drove behind Justin's mom the way there just in case anyone broke down or whatever. I don't know. We got to our hotel which was pretty nice around 5. It took a while to get there because the grandparents were in the car with his mom and they wanted to stop constantly.
Our hotel room was pretty good sized. It was the biggest hotel room I had ever been in. It was double the normal size. The window was huge too. It went from the floor to the ceiling and it was almost as long as the room itself. Which is pretty big of course. When we looked out our window, you could see the arch perfectly. It was like a block away fromt he hotel. That night we went to T.G.I. Fridays and let me tell ya. It was filled with Cardinals stuff. They were really nice there.
Saturday we woke up and went to the Bistro at his parents hotel where they were also having the wedding at. It was expensive breakfast...but his parents paid for it! Ohhh yaaa! hehe Which was very nice of them. Then we all went to the arch. Which was me, Justin, his mom & dad, sister, and grandpa. We finally got up in the arch like an hour and half of waiting. I touched both sides of the arch too. Anyways, it was interesting to be in the arch at the top. Very high and small. Then we went to the Bowling Hall Of Fame. Technically Justin's dad is in the computers for his four 300 score games. I checked to see if my grandpa was in there because he had gotten a lot of 300 games but he wasn't. We each bowled about 4 frames there. It was cool. The lanes weren't greased though. So it was weird.
Me and Justin went back to the hotel to get ready. My hair was aggrivating me. It just wasn't working with me well. I also painted my nails. After that me and Justin headed to the hotel where the wedding was being held. It was weird. His cousin that was getting married is only a year older than Justin. Between that whole night everyone was asking when WE were getting married. Last year his cousin Neil got married and he's two years older then Justin. This year it was his cousin Matt who got married and he's a year older then Justin. They all said it was Justins turn. Next to get married technically though is his cousin Jackie. I don't know how old she is though.
At the reception his cousin Henry who is a year younger then me brought his date. Who lives next door to him. I found out that she worked at a DQ too. The one in Mokena, which isn't too far away from the one I work at. After the reception was over we went back to our hotel. Justin fell asleep before I did. haha
The next morning me and Justin went to the brunch that the married couple had. It was yummy. Then we went on our way. Which started off bad when went onto the wrong ramp 10 minutes after we got on the expressway. Then we got our way back. We had about 2 1/2 hours to go when all of a sudden we heard a LOUD sound. I was driving at the time since Justin was tired. I knew what the sound was because it was the same exact sound my car made when it died. It meant he had no oil in his car. The oil light didn't go on though UNTIL it made that sound though. Grrr! So I checked the oil and there was no oil in there like I predicted. Then we walked to this farm a block away to see if they had oil but no one was there. Then a state trooper came along. He took me to the nearest town with a gas station which was 3 or 4 miles up the road. We got some oil. Went to the car put oil in, then the cop tried to jump it too. It started for a second then died. Then it was just dead. So the cop took us to that nearest town. Which we got stuck at a DAIRY QUEEN of all places. We arranged for tow truck and waited. So we sat at the DQ for 2 1/2 hours or more. It was a nice DQ though. Justin wasn't happy but I cheered him up by being my funny cute self. lol
Tow truck got there. Got the car. Drove home. Then we left the car at the auto place. Went to the apartment. Then to my house. That's how our trip went. Was great until we went home.
Oh ya. I forgot. During the reception when it came to catching the flower bouquet. Ha! His aunt who isn't married was like, "if i catch it i'm giving it to you!" I was like...ok! I didn't think we'd get it though. So...she catches it and hurries up and hands it back to me! O dear! I was shaking. I don't know why. Then Justin went to go up to catch the garder. He almost did. But some 14 year old caught it. lol Oh well!
RahXephon!!! I finished watching that last night. If you don't know what that is. It's and ANIME series. It was REALLY good. I might like it better then Full Metal Alchemist! Not sure though. It's a hard one!
My favorites in order would probably be RahXephon or Full Metal Alchemist, then Evangelion! | | |
| So next wednesday I will be leaving for downtown Chicago to start my American Idol journey of auditioning. lol Fun! I think I will be seeing "It Must Of Been Love" by Roxette for my audition song. We'll see.
I watched the movie Garden State 2 times this week! I love that movie. I have taken a great liking to the soundtrack to that movie. Especially the song "New Slang" by The Shins. Also the song "Let Go" by Frou Frou. Overall it's a great movie. Maybe sometime i'll write a review about it.
Yesterday I seen the movie Transporter 2. It was pretty good. It had it's humorous moments.
Well got to go...laterz! | | |
| Well it has been an interesting month.
Right now Justin is living free in his what used to be grandma's studio apartment and i'm partially living there too. We are waiting until April for the lease, so we can find a bigger place. One that actually has at least one bedroom. That's why i'm not totally moved in with him right now. Otherwise I would be. I have a whole new brand new bedroom set and there is nowhere we can put it in this studio apartment. It's too dinky.
So once we get a bigger apartment, one in a the district that his sister can go to the same school and all. Since they used that address for school since they somewhat live out of district. So when we find a place me, Justin, and his mom will split rent. It's okay on me right now. I'm going to be an Assistant Manager at my job Dairy Queen starting around next week. So of course that gives a raise. Plus i'm one of the new cake decorators and of course that better come with a raise as well. Considering the only other person that can decorate cakes there is my boss's wife. Plus my boss thinks i'm god right now and considers me one of his best workers. Anyways, Justin is going to be in search of a better job then the one he has now that underpays him. The park district are morons. Then of course his mom will get a better deal because she'll have to pay less then what she does now.
Today we are moving in a my dad's aunts couch, two chairs, and two end tables. She died in November and they needed to get rid of furniture and they are moving it here and that's what started all this moving in to the apartment thing two weeks ago. Before it was just the two cats living here. I may add that the one cat Purr will not leave me alone. I have a bunch of scratches on my legs from just last night and this morning because i'm wearing shorts and she wants to jump up on my lap while at the computer or on the futon we have and she has very sharp nails. So it's like...owwwwwww. She keeps trying to rub her face up against mine and everything, especially when i'm on the computer so i'm like....goooo awaaaaayyyy. lol Cute cat though. Then there's the other cat Pooka. Don't have to worry about that one. It's the total opposite of Purr. You go near it and it runs. Cute cat though.
Once we get a bigger apartment and move. I get to move in my new bedroom set which is very nice and i love with my nightmare before christmas bedding. Plus, I have birds and a turtle which stay AWAY from the cats for sure. Plus my computer w/the desk, so we'll have 2 computers. Plus, my 27" Flat Screen TV...oooohhhh yaaaa!!! lol I got the TV just recently for my birthday. So that will be nice once we get the nice apartment.
Well got to go! Laterz!
I'll make another post about my soon to be American Idol try-outs~! | | |
| Life with me and Justin have become a lot better. I knew it would
after school ended and summer came. I personally hate school, but
he has to go threw it to do what he needs to do for his future.
All the better so he can get a great job, earn some good money, and not
be as paranoid about money anymore. Plus, that means a better
future for us with wishful thinking of marriage and all that.
We have our ideas, but that can't start until it's affordable.
Which I want to go to school for Real Estate. Flexible hours, and
maybe it can get me a good deal on some living in the future. ::wink::
All I know is I don't want to raise a family in the general area of
Homewood, Flossmoor, Chicago Heights, Park Forest, and Glenwood.
I just don't really like that area. I'm thinking either a lot
more west of that general direction or more north. I don't want
my kids going to H-F, or Bloom. What i've heard is not
good. Where I went to high school was great. I swear it
seemed like everyone got along. I loved high school life. I
was in choir all four years. We sang in some assemblies,
graduations, for the radio, and etc. Plus, I was on the dance
team there. My senior year we decided to start competing.
Which hadn't been done in a long time. We were .04 I think from
going to State. Which sucks, but hey it was our first year.
We didn't know what to expect. But I was there to see them go to
State the next year! Let's just say. Justin still laughs at
the way I looked when I was all pipped up after my routine was over,
like a little cheerleader or something. Which he watched a
recording of, of course.
I think i'm going to go wake his butt up now to see if we are gonna go
swimming at my house since today is supposed to be so hot out!
Laterz!

| I find that...it's hard for me to trust anyone at all anymore. I
have to make myself trust them. People are cruel and
manipulative. So after a while when you've been lied to so much
in your life...you start to not trust people anymore.
I don't even trust most my best friends, because once before i've been
betrayed by them. People are so immature, and selfish.
I have found that there are so many depressed people in the
world...especially around my boyfriends area. I've never met or
seen so many depressed people in my life. I don't if it's the
general area or what. Sometimes I think people have a depression
problem because they want to be depressed. Sometimes you can tell
they don't want to be happy. They claim..."my life is horrible,
or I just want a happy life". If you want a fucking happy life,
then try to change yourself, and your life. There's got to be
something that's making you have a horrible life. Then they say
it's not that easy. Actually, there has been PLENTY of people
that has become a better person or have made their life better.
So why can't YOU do it too!?! They don't even try!!! This
isn't directed towards anyone..except for the people that complain that
have it bad, or they just so depressed all the time, and they don't TRY
and make things better. Which are a lot of you!
All I can say is sometimes people got to get over themselves, and if
you want a better life or to be a better person...then make the effort
to change it and do that!
