The Miscellaneous Rantings of a Drama Queen

And I just remembered this blog. That is all.

Hopefully I'll have some good news to report soon! I'm not going into details because I'm afraid of jinxing it, but I'm excited! :D

Well, since I'm down to one follower, I guess this is for you, dear Mary. Well, life is moving along fine. It consists mostly of work. That's all for now. :)

Well, I haven't posted in almost a year. I have a new position at BBY. I work on the project team and go between the 3 Asheville area stores doing planograms. They only let me work 32 hours a week, so that they don't have to make me full time. I tried to look into getting a car today, but I make $100 less a month than their minimum requirement. Blah!! Other than my car falling apart and my lack of insurance, life is going well. I think that covers all the new stuff. I hope everyone is doing well too! I love you all!!!!

New phone number, new puppy, 2 new kittens, new job (soon!). That's my current life. Nothing else new. The puppy just chewed my mouse cord in half. Great! I wish I could understand people. I want to be able to read their minds and find out why they do things. Why do people behave as they do? I didn't do anything to you. Why do you feel the need to be so nasty to me???? Some days I just want to say I'm done and check out. But then I have days like Wednesday. I was so upset and frustrated. I tried to schedule my cell payment for Friday and accidentally had it taken out of my account immediately. There wasn't enough for it in my account. I called Sprint immediately to have it reversed. They couldn't do that. Because it took all my money (and some) the stuff that originally had enough money for didn't have enough money either. So now, lots of charges. :( I headed to Darla's to take care of Mr. Adorable and was just venting to her about being up...

I keep playing near the fire, thinking this one will be different. But every time I think that this time maybe, just maybe, I won't. I always do. I want to douse the fire, never to look back at it again, but I know I won't. Every time I swear this is it, there's no hope left, no one for me out there. But, I still have one little bit of hope left. I feel like the empress at the end of The Neverending Story. I hold that one little glimmer in my hand, but there is no Bastian to make my world whole again. Love is a cruel joke that the universe plays on us. I don't know that I believe there is such a thing. I've never seen true love work out for anyone close to me except my brother. Why should I think that I'm any different than the other women in my life? I'm doomed to be like them, alone or miserable. Life has proven this to me.

Well, I'm not going to Tennessee this weekend. I'm not going out west this summer. I don't know why I bother making plans, since I haven't kept any of them recently. I'll hopefully make it to Tennessee in August and I really, really hope I get to see New York for New Year's 2010, but at this point I'm not certain of anything. So, if I'm making plans with you, don't be surprised if I don't make it.

Ok. Nothing much has changed. Still at BBY. Still single. Still working that customer service desk. New stuff: We aren't going to make our trip out west this year. I hope that I can make it next year. Even if Brooke can't make it, I want to. One more year that I have to postpone. Sorry Jon, Prices, Turners, Miltons and Jesse. I have a new obsession: World of Warcraft, but at least I get some socializing out of it. Jen and I are going to start this diet thing together. Darla is due in July. For those that didn't know, Darla is having a baby. Lauren and I got an apartment last year. She's got engaged to Grant Racer (now she's Lauren Racer!), so we got out of our lease. I'm staying with mom until I get my car paid and loan paid off. Dad's wife left him, again, this time she took his money and I'm pretty sure she's the person behind his recent house robbery due to the items that were stolen. Only his guns were stolen and some of them wouldn...

So...I've been mapquesting all morning. I'm trying to find out the best ways to fit in all the places we want to see into the 2 weeks we'll have. Casa Bonita, Lakewood, CO: A supercool restaurant, made famous in the "Casa Bonita" episode of South Park. I promised to bring Brian back a souvenir. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Bonita 7-8 hours from SLC, according to Mapquest. Colorado Springs, CO: A visit to Katie, Ben and Mackinsie. I may take this one alone, depending on if Brooke wants to go or not. This would be a great chance to get a two in one, being that Colorado Springs is only a little over an hour away from Lakewood. Sacramento, CA: We don't have a specific place set yet for our visit to CA. Our friend Dustin will be living in Sacramento and he says it's a beautiful city and a great vacation spot. 9-10 hours from SLC. Disneyland, Anaheim, CA: I'd love to go to Disneyland. It would be a great trip with Nick, Jen, Layla and Ju...

As I sit here and read my friends' blogs I realize that I really have NO life. I am still single...still...yep, still single. I graduated with a degree that I don't know what to do with and can't afford to go back to school for a different one yet. My job is part-time and it is killing me financially, but I keep hanging in there, waiting for the full-time position. Jen and Nick have a beautiful family and marriage. Brooke has a great job she loves, is going to school to better herself, and loves Aaron. Jordan, also going to school to make something of himself, has some very deep things to say and does lots of stuff. Steve and Heidi just got married and recently bought a house together. Emma has an amazing family, including her new daughter-in-law, Heidi. I am, however, very lucky to have such great friends to love and inspire me. I am very grateful for everything I do have. I may have a boring job and no life, but I am blessed with friendship. So, thank you all f...

This is Rob Zombie. He's a hottie. How can a chick look at this and not think "You are the hottest man to ever exist. Marry me!"? I can't answer that question. Neither can Michelle. She's one of the best friends I've ever had. I met her when I lived in Turtle Creek Apartments. Brooke had met her first, of course. She is the ultimate friendly girl, Brooke. Michelle had moved in next door shortly after we moved in. Brooke introduced herself and told her about me. She told me to do the same. The first time I met Michelle we kept each other company in her apartment for several hours, until 1 or 2 (I think). We hung out a few more times, discussing the hot guys in the other building and her uber quiet upstairs neighbor. We would go to the building across from ours and try to see if there was really a neighbor upstairs from her because the woman was so quiet. We laughed about her being ghost haunting the upstairs because no human could make so little...

Why the crap do people send spam texts??? I don't want that junk. I will not forward it, I will not read it, I will just get angry at you for wasting my time! Junk mail, junk e-mail, junk texts! This is getting ridiculous! Quit that junk!

I've had it with Internet Explorer. It keeps quitting when I'm on Facebook or surfing the internet. Henson on the Geek Squad suggested I download Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. I downloaded, but Chrome wouldn't install and Firefox wouldn't connect. Today Jon suggested I try Safari. It installs but won't connect either. I'd reached the point of tossing my laptop out the car window while driving down the interstate when Henson offered to connect to my computer from his house and try to fix it. *LIGHT BREAKS THOUGH THE CLOUDS. BIRDS SING. ANGELS SING IN BEAUTIFUL HARMONY* After spending his time on his day off troubleshooting my computer, Henson (the mack-daddy Geek Squad Agent) manages to fix my laptop remotely and I can now install Chrome and run Firefox and Safari. Apparently I had 3 different firewalls running and blocking them from running/installing. I now have an overabundance of browsers. After testing the new ones, I have found I'm partia...

I get to house-sit this week. I'm excited! They have Dish Network AND internet!! It's wonderful! I'm so excited!

*My friend Diana sent me this song on Facebook* Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew Nothing can replace the us I knew And no, I'm never gonna let you go And no, I'm never gonna let you go And now I know I had a choice though you never made it clear to me I thought you never felt it deeply Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go 'Cause I could have loved you forever I could have loved you forever What do you want from me?, Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing You punish me for nothing, for nothing Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew Nothing can replace the us I knew Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go And now I know I had a choice though you n...

You promised that it wouldn't be a problem. You promised we'd stay friends. You promised things wouldn't be "weird." You promised. You lied. You ignore my calls and texts. I had a question, not about us, but about something else, and you pretend you didn't get it. I text to see how you are, you ignore it. I tried to pretend that it didn't matter to me, but it does. I regret it. I'm sorry I chose you. I'm through crying. I'm done. *After rereading this post I realized it sounds like I'm talking about having sex with him. To clarify, I'm not.*

Apparently I am... So...I was asked to stay until school starts. I said ok. Really, I need to just say no! Plus the boys were told they are the reason I'm quitting. This angers me because SHE and her HUSBAND are the reasons I'm quitting. He treats me like a theif and I won't put up with it. He's mean to the boys, he yells too much and he bosses her around like a dog. I just won't stand around and put up with it! I told Tracy and she said she and Rob would talk to the boys and make sure they knew the truth. It's such a line of bull to tell them that!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Anyway, I'll stay until the end of July, but that's it...I'm done! Other than that, still no changes. I got a new phone because mine just gave up on trying to live. It just shut itself off whenever it felt like it, battery charged or not. I now have a LG EnV2. It's pretty much the sweetest phone ever. IT READS MY TEXT MESSAGES TO ME!!!!! I got a text last night and my...

Lots of new stuff... Loving my job at Best Buy. I am leaving the nanny job. Well, mostly..I'm staying on one day a week. It's time to move on. I'm addicted to Facebook. It's my personal crack. Other than that everything is the same. I really should be using this more, but I'm lazy! ;) Love you all, though. I'll try to put more in soon! A.

Ok. You all know that I don't usually get upset with people who make fun of Mormons. But with members of the Church and those who people associate with our Church being in the media, I have heard a lot more recently. I hear it on TV. I hear it from my friends. I can't control what the media says, but I can control who I'll be around. I just want to set a few things straight. First and foremost, Mormons ARE CHRISTIANS. In case you haven't noticed, the name Jesus Christ is in the title of our Church. We don't believe in some other Christ. There was only one. We read the Bible. King James Version. Same as most people. We do have additional gospels, but we do have the Bible as a standard works. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have not had plural marraige since 1890 when the practice was banned by the Church due the fact that it is no longer necessary. I am sick and tired of people referring to "Mormon underwear." As ...

is a Christmas blogger template! I've been searching for almost an hour for a Christmas blogger template and the ones I've found won't display correctly. It is extremely hard to find a working Christmas blogger template. Dang!
