Well July for the most part has sucked. There have been like maybe two bright spots. Anyway, still looking for a job and feeling useless and pretty helpless.

RP wise: I will be attempting to get out all of my pups in the games I am so that when my internet goes undependable after the 8th of August I won't have to worry about it. I should still be able to get on, but I'm planning for the worst at the moment.

Not much else to report. I am holding out what little hope I have left that August will be better than July and that by December/January I can begin accomplishing getting things properly settled.

I am in sort of a stressed state and though I know not many people are waiting on tags from me they won't be coming until tomorrow probably...maybe tonight. I am not going to rant here what it was about, but needless to say it's a very familiar issue for me.

Anyway, I wanted to write down this dream before it went away:

I don't go to sleep to dream )

Dear Roommates,

When I say I don't like something, and to my knowledge I am giving you as much money as possible to cover bills and I haven't even bought it yet, please do not try to make me feel stupid or pressure me to continue using a program that I don't like, have had issues with, simply because it is free. I know it may work just fine for you, and I know maybe the problem is me, but you know sometimes, 'I don't know, I just don't like it' is actually an acceptable response.

No love at the moment,
Me

What is going on??? I just want to post this and it keeps losing all the information in the body. This is the third time I've tried. Is today over yet?

Last night I had internet issues. I finally got them fixed, but they were worse this morning. I found out by some research and calling the ITDS people that the latest Windows update causes some issue with ZoneAlarm that results in loss of internet connectivity. It wouldn't even connect when I used a cord and plugged it in.

I was afraid I was going to have to take it in. Anyway, I am glad it is not a hardware issue, though I do have to spend some time looking for updates/fixes in the next day or so.

Summary of the week: (sort of)

Monday/Tuesday: Pretty average all in all.
Wednesday: BAD. So bad in fact that I do not acknowledge that it even happened and do the whole fingers in ears, "Lalalala..can't hear you." type of thing. Anyway, moving on...
Thursday: Very good. I was ecstatic throughout the whole day. I went for a short walk to enjoy the warmth. And finally saw Blade: Trinity.
Friday: So far, so good. I am still destressing, but will be reading tonight and getting the homework thing under control so Yay.


I registered towards the first part of the month but haven't really collected it yet so here goes: GBU 480 (Business Strategy), MGT 330 (Small Business Management...I already know what I'll be doing for this class, so as long as I stay on top of it things should go smoothly), MKT 304 (Retailing), and finally MKT 310 (Personal Selling). I will be keeping it to four classes I think just to keep my sanity. Between the process of getting things ready to search for a job, and actually looking for a job, as well as working 20 hours a week I think this will be about all I can handle.

So there are major plumbing problems at my place. Luckily the basement apartment is on a different pipe system so we'll be using that until this gets fixed. We have no time table on when this will get taken care of, which is the most annoying thing of all. If the weekend can just stay dry it should be dealt with by Monday. I'm not sure how likely this is because I haven't checked the weather channel site yet, but my roommie says it's supposed to rain so YUCK.

I just found out something that has reminded me why I maybe don't put myself out there as much online as I could.

My first experience meeting someone in real life that I knew online went horribly and now this.

I'm not as trusting as people think I am, or maybe as I want to be. Of course there are times when I can't help but be glad.

Sorry to be cryptic just needed to get this out there. I wasn't hurt as much as some people and I'm torn between shocked, sad and maybe just a little pissed off.

I sort of feel like venting about how much I hate group projects. I don't think I would mind them near as much if this were actually an office setting because it would be much easier to contact your group daily and get something done. However, I realize I just have to bite the bullet and get through this with hopefully a good grade. It'll be over soon enough and if worse comes to worse I take the class over again...not that I want to but if I have to then oh well. I'm at the point where I'm practically getting two or three migraines a week so I'm trying just to remain calm about it all now.

Other than that I've not been doing much other than feeling not so well lately, but I'm hoping this is just stress and once I get through the beginning of May things will ease up.

I've actually started watching America's Next Top Model. Mainly, to see the pictures that they take. Some of the concepts are interesting and others I just go 'WTF?' Also, some of the advice they are given can extend to several kinds of careers; for example, the whole idea of networking is vital to the music industry...and probably to any other creative industry.

Well it looks as if the net won't be on at my place until Friday now, maybe later if things keep going the way they are. They can't seem to get anything done and it is frustrating me. I'm not going to vent here because a part of me more than understands wanting to do something the right way I am just growing very impatient.

So anyway, hopefully Friday but I am not holding my breath.


And happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] andrealyn. I'm sorry I wasn't able to say anything sooner. I hope it was wonderful.
This has been a very tough month for me. I really can't even go into all of the ways for many reasons, some of them though have been very visible on this journal. (BTW: heat...still not on.) And because of that, and an upcoming birthday, I decided to try and sort through some things. So here I am evaluating pretty much the last few years, well sort of. However, I've having major trouble with it at this moment. *grins*

cut for those who don't want to read... )

Well that is it. It's probably not as eloquent as I would like but hopefully getting it out will be good for me.

Well I've not even had my first class and needless to say it feels like it's going to be one of those days that you just should have stayed in bed.

My heat stopped working possibly sometime last night. It stayed around 70 degrees Fahrenheit until this morning. When I left it was about 61. The good news is that my landlord knows and is sending someone over either this afternoon or tomorrow. Bad news, if they don't come today tonight is supposed to be just as cold. This doesn't bode well.

Since I haven't updated in a while- midterms went relatively well. I got mostly As except one C, my music theory class. Basically it wasn't the best week for a test, but hopefully I can do better on the final.

I enjoyed a four day break which allowed me to do some rping and a lot of reading. It was very relaxing, though there's still quite a bit of stress alas. I suppose you can't help but wish they were longer really no matter what.


I guess that's it for now. Hopefully I will have an update that details the heat situation and maybe I can work on some icons this weekend.

I am feeling very angry and frustrated right now I can't even say exactly how much. A friend of mine is getting a whole bunch of anonymous posts, which are mostly nothing more than an excuse to bash him. NO I do not agree with all of the decisions that he has made, and there are a lot of differences in how we handle things and yes personally I think he has made his share of mistakes, but who in this world is perfect?

If these people should happen to care and check out my livejournal then I will gladly give my side, in fact if they would prefer I can be reached via most chat things(listed on my info page). However, they don't seem to care about the truth; only their own interpretations of what is going on. I don't have all the answers myself, but I am willing to try and give my side of what I know to be the truth, and I can be blunt when it is needed. However, I will not allow anyone just to bash me. If you don't have the courage to tell me who you are then you have no place responding here. In other words, I will make it so that my journal cannot accept anonymous posts. Frankly I never thought I would have to do this. For the most part I am a very easy going person and I really hate confrontation but the more I think about it the more it seems unfair to me.

Again, if these people do not have livejournals then I will gladly talk to them another way. I am on aim, yahoo, MSN most of the time and I don't mind being bothered. I can also be reached via the email on my info page.

I promised not to use this journal to vent, at least too much, however there are some things that I think it would do me some good to get off of my chest, hoping that maybe doing this will help me kind of keep things in perspective. I'm involved in something and almost from the beginning I have felt not very wanted there, in fact things keep coming up almost monthly that make me wonder what I'm doing it all for. It's supposed to be fun, and perhaps a way to learn, and yet I've spent so much time not really sure if it's worth it and trying to figure out how much of it is my fault, my failing, and how much I should stand up for myself.

Another occurrence this weekend has just made me emotionally so raw it's not even funny. I know I should not take things so personally, or let things get to me, but it is very difficult sometimes to do. I do not want to give up on it, and yet it is more of a struggle than a joy most of the time. And this most recent event has made me doubt other aspects of my life. I've kept things in because this is a personal thing, and honestly I wonder if it is just my perception of what is happening.

I am dong my best to remain calm and in control, which is why I'm posting this here so that I can get some of this out and maybe put my thoughts into words so that I can look at it and maybe not let it build up. Also, by looking at what I've written maybe I can take a step back and get a different perspective. It's nobody's job to babysit me so since this is a personal issue then I must deal with it myself. This all being said I really wish I felt more comfortable going to people and talking this out. That's just not who I am though. Confrontation isn't me. I avoid it at all costs in fact, and I'm afraid that it would come to something like that with my emotions being in the state they are.

I guess that's it for now.....hopefully no more venting will take place and more writing *grins* which I promise to concentrate on as soon as possible.

cut for those who probably wouldn't be interested )


This is an idea that has been brewing in me for a while so I thought since I'm on Spring Break I might work a bit on it. This is a very very rough draft and it's only the first part of the story, novel whatever it turns out to be.....so far no real warnings except a slight mention of rape, nothing specific or graphic at all.



on to the story )
