So, it's Wednesday, we're back in the swing of things now. Spring Break is over, but it was awesome so I don't mind. Friday, when SB started, we bought a motherload of Mickey's and Select, had a beer pong tournament and then a Mario Party drinking game to officially start the break. Saturday we just chilled.
On Sunday, Sam, Evan, Erienne and I went down to Rocky Point! We tanned on the beach all day eating fresh clams with garlic butter, I did some paintings and every night we went out dancing at the bars. That's how Sunday, Monday and Tuesday went, then Evan and Erienne left on Wednesday morning.
Nick and Tim came down on Wednesday and we repeated it all over again. Nick and I dug a hole in the beach that was big enough for me to stand in up to my waist and then we went back to the house and watched some kid fall in and get buried by his friends.
Wednesday night, we did a dine and dash at a taco stand, got away with that, but then we all got arrested for public drunkenness, and they ended up just letting us go anyway.
Thursday was more clams and tanning and drinking and dancing, then Friday we came home. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights we had many more beer pong games and whatnot. Completely made the most of our time.
Basically, Spring Break was fabulous! |

Psychoanalyze Yourself; Answer the following questions with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read which each answer means. (No cheating! )
1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who is with you?
Sam, duh
2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
tiger
3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
It runs in front of us, stops to stare at us for a second, and runs off again
4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your dream house, its:
modern, not huge though, with a garage and like bulletproof windows
5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
no
6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on AND around it?
probably some junk tossed on the table like keys, change, mail. a couple chairs around it
7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
plastic red cup
8. What do you do with the cup?
if it was right outside the front door, pick it up cause i dont want my front walk to be trashy. otherwise, leave it.
9. You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the end of a body of water what kind of water is it?
A lake
10. How will you cross the water?
walk around it.
The ANSWERS
1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important.
2. The ferocity of the nature of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life.
3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.
4. The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems.
5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.
6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy.
7. The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.
8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude.
9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire.
10. The way you cross the water is representative to how easy or hard you expect your life to be. |

It's true. Tattoos are addictive. I'm getting one on my foot with my sister soon and I really want to do more on my back. It's just a matter of deciding what. I'll do my rose or add some detail to the dagger once Sam comes home.
Interesting stuff. I don't think anyone who knew me in high school would expect that now, almost 2 years after that hell, I'm pierced and tattooed and have a life that no one in Phoenix knows about. Most of the people who try to add me on Facebook are people I apparently met and bonded with at one party or another, but I don't remember them. I was such a good kid...no drinking, no smoking, no cursing, no boys, no lying, and perfect grades.
But you know what? I'm just fine with my life and more importantly, I am happy with me now. |

Thoughts on a Monday:
- I miss him so much. I'm such a little kid, five weeks is freaking forever.
+ I'm not in school.
+ I have a wonderful boyfriend and absence makes the heart grow fonder.
- It's Christmas Eve and my shopping isn't done.
- It's Christmas Eve and Sam is nowhere around.
- It's Christmas Eve and I'm not going to see my sister or my brothers today, tomorrow, or until I don't even know when.
+ I got my mom a great gift.
+ I have a nice paycheck coming in.
- I'm scared of seeing my family again. |

The holiday season has been wonderful so far. Mostly because of Sam and Nick. They're both amazing. I called in sick to work today because I've been working way too many hours. Hopefully Nick doesn't have work today either so we can just chill. And I'm watching E True Hollywood Story: America's Next Top Model. Today is good. |

it's weird being in a relationship and taking it slow. never happened before. its been tried before...and ended up going fast anyway lol. it was fun. this is fun. i just love love, fast or slow. sam's never been in a relationship this serious before. it is somewhat serious, i mean...we live together and we're making plans fairly far into the future. and yeah. but whatever. i'm just happy. call it serious, casual, a fling, whatever you want. i don't care, whatever it is, it makes me happy.
-Come on Eileen, I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything, with you in that dress, my thoughts I confess verge on dirty, come on Eileen- dexy's midnight runners
not that we're serious enough to use the L word at all. but knowing me...that won't last. i wish i were scared to say it like a normal person. but no, i've never been too afraid to tell someone how i feel and it gets me in trouble. a normal person would just be too scared and keep it to themselves until the correct time. but no, i'm impulsive and in only this area of life, a risk-taker. basically i'm a complete tard. being cautious in every facet of life except the one i actually care about.
when was the last concert i went to? sonata arctica, 2/06. seeing avenged sevenfold with nick and evan soon. then sonata arctica again in february with nick. then dragonforce.
haha i totally made some kid's day. sam and i went to campus yesterday and as we were leaving, we passed some ugly fat guy, but he was wearing a Dragonforce shirt so I stopped and told him he was awesome. haha he stuttered out "i don't meet many female dragonforce fans" before we walked away.
i think nick is creating a niche for himself as my new best friend. right up there with babylonia. then comes sam and evan. obviously sam's in a bit different category. i've never had straight guys who i was close enough to that i can say i love you and they say it back. i'm so lucky. i don't know what i did to deserve these friends. these guys are completely amazing. they take such good care of me and spoil me so much. no one denies me anything and i can talk to any of them about anything. they're all completely supportive of me and my choices. they always make me feel wanted and appreciated. we have interests in common and have fun doing pretty much anything together. i feel like they'd miss me if i were gone.
having friends like this gives an amazing feeling. i wouldn't trade this for anything. i think life can only keep getting better.
its funny, between the three of them i can always find one who's down to do whatever i want.
dragonforce? nick.
sex pistols? sam.
random shit like "come on eileen?" evan.
doing nothing and laying in bed all day? sam.
going out and spontaneously getting a new tat? nick.
having a long talk about love and relationships? evan.
i'm a 21st century digital boy, don't know how to live but i've got a lot of toys
my daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
my mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
ain't life a mystery? |

idk why i keep so much about myself secret from my parents. i just follow my instincts on that. there are things i know not to tell them but i dont figure out until later why telling them would have been a bad idea. i trust my instincts. so yeah not telling them about sam even though they like him and all that. i dont know why im hiding him/us from them but i know ill be glad later on.
evan and erienne and nick are pretty much the best friends i've ever had. so is sam but that's different cause we're not friends. well we are. whatever.
technicalities. |
