I don't even know what to type right now. Nothing will make me feel better, but being sad and unhappy ALL the time is getting really old. No matter how I try to look at life diffrently and let shit go, it doesn't work, it just makes stuff worse later. I can't take this treatment anymore and I don' t know what to do. What happens when talking doesn't help?

So I've been watching Fear Fest on AMC since last friday. I love it because its a lot of the horror movies that I like, such as Jason, Halloween, House on Haunted Hill, Pet Semetery, and Christine. I'm a fan of the really ridiculous bad horror films and I don't like a lot of guts and gore like the Saws and Texas Chainsaw massacre. I've also been watching horror movies on Demand and I have found a lot that I'm very happy with too. Bryan told me about 2001 Maniacs which is kinda based off the civil war and those it is sooo gross and sexual but I loved the storyline/plot. I also love the 976-Evil movies which was directed by the guy who played Freddy Krueger. I'm currently in the middle of Frankenstein but the one with Bruce Willis haha so I've been having fun in my time off and at school with Matthew.
With that in mind, im going to scrapbook and finish watching frankenstein.

Sooo I can't believe how ridiculous this election has turned out to be so far. A lot of things make me wanna abandon all talks of reason and just punch people because its more effective and people don't listen anyways. Either way, one of my Professors from college has a blog and has wrote an entry I agree with. You can find it here. Its about checking sources and facts of things you hear about the candidates online and all the ridiculous talk of obama's "muslim" ways.
I love the entry because on both sides politicians will lie, or make up stuff or take things out of context to get a head, and people need to be aware of it. A lot of people believe the commercials that are put on TV without a second thought. My favorite site is www.factcheck.org, its not affiliated with either Party so its unbiased and picks out lies on both sides of the table. Something you might wanna look at before you vote soon.
All arguments aside, I'm gonna say it right now. Palin is pyscho and if McCain gets in there and dies from old age we are going to have a crazy women running this country. I was watching the news the other night (not Fox news and not CNN for those who believe one is right winged and the other left) and it had a story on Palin and how she didn't know what the vice presidency meant when she was talking to 2nd graders, ok whatever i'm not getting into it. But then they had this congress women on who was preaching how each congressmen needed to be tested and those who are unamerican need to be taken out of office so laws can be americanized again. Women like her and Palin ruin any progress women have made in history and fall into the stereotypes that make women seem imcompitant (sp?) and thats why some men still say women should not be in any power and should stay at home...if these are the women in power, i agree!...not that i wanna stay at home by ANY means.
Ok i'm done.

Omg. I am so happy. First off, Matt's bro is doing sooo great and he is out of the ICU and going to move to a rehab center on Monday as long as everything stays good. He still has the trach in so he can't talk and idk why its still in. My gram had hip replacement surgery and she is doing well just like 3 days after it.
My birthday was yesterday. Wed I celebrated with my friends at a bar between here and school. So ridic. First off Matt was gonna drive from school to my house and take me down to the bar, drop me off, go to school and have me call him when I was ready to leave. Which is ridic cause its a lot of out of the way driving for me. Instead Jaye and I caught the bus (ridic experience) and rode into robinson where Christie was going to pick us up. She was runnin late so we went to the liquor store and got a lil bottle and drank out of the paper bag outside haha. Christie picks us up and she is covered in makeup cause she had hit someone's car with hers. No damage but itw as funny she was covered in makeup.
We get there and eat and drink. I went down cause Abbey and Junior were playing and they used to be in Povertyneck hillbillies. So Basically to make a long story short. The waitress tells abbey its my bday, they say happy bday. I drink 8 or 9 screwdrivers, have a chocolate cake shot, and do a shot of tequila with JUNIOR! It was sooo awesome and i hugged both of them twice cause i was real annoying and crazy.
I got matt to come early cause the bouncer wasn't there anymore and he got to come in and have fun too. Later he drove Jaye and I to my house. I puked on the way home like 2 mins from my house. We got in and passed out. It was sooo fun!!
Yesterday I hung with Matt and we visited my gma. We went to dinner with my mom and Dad at buffalo wild wings cause i always wanted to try there. Matthew got me a Thumper stuffed animal and i LOVE it. I get another present later cause with his bro he didn't have time to get me anything. But idc. Then I just hung with b-anne at her house cause i was not in the mood to do anything.
Right now i'm getting laundry and errands done. Its WNJ's homecoming so i'm goin gthere tonight and tiff and lew are coming up! We are making jungle juice in matt's room in a cooler, i'm soooo excited! So as usual i'm celebrating my birthday for the next couple of days! Sooo happy though!

The week before my birthday is always the most worst week of the year (compared to the worst weekend of the year which is park fest) . I have had 3 people break up with me during this week before. So I went into it with an open mind, tried not to get this shitty feeling before hand and that it was just coincidence that its bad.
Nope. didn't work. I am having the worst week and I am fighting everything it is in me to not run away, to not shut off my phone and just leave for a few days. Too bad i can't cause Matt's brother is still in the hospital and got a Trach tube put in today so i need to stay updated and be there for him, too bad talking to Matt is just making my week worse at the moment.

Seriously,
The fact that people wouldn't vote for hilary because they didn't want a woman in the white house makes me sick because those same people are gonna vote for McCain cause Palin is hot. WTF you make me wanna just punch you in the fucking face when you say shit like this.
As for those who aren't voting for Obama because he is black...I have never been so disapointed in people in my entire life. And vice versa, for the blacks that are just with him cause he is black *Cough*WoopiGberg*Cough* you can fuck off too.
Seriously vote cause of issues. And if you are not voting for Obama cause you do agree wtih McCain more, ok at least you have good reasons to stand by him.
And praying to God isn't going to turn gay people straight...
Wtf has happened to America?

| Civil Wargasm, Second Day - Richmond |

Richmond was about an hour away so we got there late in the day and were rushed. We visited the NPS site in on old iron works building which was awesome looking. After making friends with the park ranger there we headed off to find the White House of the Confederacy. Richmond was a big mess due to construction so we got there right after the last tour left. They let us jump on there. I loved that house. It was such a good tour and i learned a lot about the war, Jefferson Davis, and the house. My fave part was the Mirror was scratched with "John. John is my boy." on it because back then thats how women tested the realness of thier diamond!
After the tour we were walking around the gift shop when an employee asked if we knew Rob. (long story shirt: Robert Hodge was the main character in this non-fiction book we read about the civil war. He took the Author on a civil wargasm and he is the ultimate re-enactor. We love him) After explaining that we loved hm but didn't know him the guy proceeded to tell us he knew him. So he called him but he didn't answer. He gave us his card so we could e-mail this guy and then he'd give us Rob's e-mail addy. He then invited our class down to tour the vaults (stuff the public doesn't see). After talking forever, I bought a real replica sword and we were Extactic the rest of the day bouncing around.
We got chinese (TG it wasn't McD) in Downtown and headed out becasue everything was closed. We made reservations in Fredericksburg, VA and headed there. We got there at a decent time (compared to the night before) And Checked in. It was early so we got some beer and went to find ice cream. Everything was closed (ok it wasn't early it was like 10). So we went to McD for ice cream and headed back to our hotel. Nat and Hil passed out and i read a little and soon followed.

Alright I typed most of this already but i suck.
So Last Friday at 11:00 AM I head down to Fort Necessity (stopping at McDonalds and Starbucks on the way). Hilary is a park ranger there so I decided since i was meeting her there at 5 I might as well go early and check it out. I sat in on a tour and she showed me a bunch of behind the scenes stuff. It was cool. We finally got out of the park around 5:30 and on our way. We stopped at McDonalds for food cause it was the only restaurant around (Hilary calls it the Oasis). We picked up Natalie in DC (stopping in to see the apartment real quick) And went on our way to Appomattax, VA. It was ridic. Nat drove out of the city then Hil and I took turns continuing to drive. We were sooo tired it felt like we were drunk driving. We stopped to get coffee, bathroom break, and pick up smirnoffs for later that night. At 2 AM we roll into our super 8. We get settled and there is a lil spider so i kill it. I go to the bathroom and there is a HUGE spider. I called the front desk and asked them to please come kill it. They just gave us a new room, which was HUGE...but the 3 of us still had to share a king sized bed.
In the morning we missed breakfast (stupid hotel didn't tell us the time). And so stopped at McDonalds (#3 in 2 days...for those keeping count.) I was sooo sick of McDonalds at this pt. We headed to the Appomattax court house in our wargasm t-shirts and the appropriate Union or Confederate hat (we are HUGE dorks). The park ranger asked Nat if she was a prisioner cause she was the only confederate. We watched a film and sat through a talk and explored. Appomattax is where Gen Robert E Lee surrendered his entire Army to the Union. After a couple hours and stopping at a canon on the side of the road for pictures, we headed to Richmond. (orginally we were going to Petersburg).

Another fun filled weekend. Matt and I, my friend from school and her boyfriend: Tiff and Lew, and matt's best friend Martin and Maranda all met at Cooksforest this weekend. We stayed in this cabin that had a kitchen, bathroom, and 3 full beds. It was a ton of fun. Since we all went after work we just had a fire and made hot dogs and corn and chilled. We played drinking games that night until bed.
Saturday we got up and had breakfast and headed down to the clarion river. We got tubes and did the 2 mile float for about 4 hours. I didn't know floating down the river in a tube could be THAT fun. It was ridiculous. We went back to the campground and had a late lunch (at 5) and went and rode horses for an hour through the state park. OMG it was sooo much fun, I loved it. THough Lew's horse def slipped in the mud and fell. After we went to the fire tower but we were soooo sore from the horses it was ridic. My knee gave out and i almost fell down the fire tower steps lol. We also visited this lil rock over look and just hung out there for a while until the sun set and the park closed. We returned home and got showers. Matt and Lew had to go exchange the mountain pie makers we bought cause they were broke. We had pizza mountain pies that night and made banana boats. We chilled by the fire that night and our neighbors dog visited us haha. I was sooo tired. I went to bed before everyone else.
Sunday we woke up and had breakfast and packed everything up. We had to check out by 11. We went to the deer park and got to see all these diff deer, their fawns, and pet them. It was soooo cool. We spent a while there and then we went to some other exotic animal park. We went to the state park to eat some of the stuff we had left over for lunch and were gonna go hike up a trail where a tornado had gone through and all the trees were like twisted but we were all sooo sore. Maranda and Martin had to be back home so they left after that. The rest of us went Mini golfing and go karting...way fun! But then we had to say good bye. Matt and I made the journey home and stopped for ice cream and food. My parents went on vacation so he spent the night and we just were way goofy. We went to bed cause we were exhausted.
we got up this morning for work and that was that. The weekend was over :-( Again this upcoming weekend is going to be awesome cause i'm going on a civil wargasm with the Hist girls from school. But when i come home Matt leaves for a week for VA beach sooo i'm not gonna see him forever. Boo. Oh well. Alright i'm out. Prob will update next monday with my crazy adventures.

So I went to Jamboree in the Hills last weekend for 3 days with Matthew, Ronnie, Jaye and Angela. If you don't know about it, its 4 days in Ohio in the middle of no where with tons of country music artists, drinking, and squirt bottles. I saw Gary Allan, Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins, Keith Anderson, Reba, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland, and some more but I can’t really think right now. It was fucking AWESOME. You can go in and out of the gate and get beer. We drank over 3 cases of Beer when Jaye and Angela didn’t even go all three days. Matt didn’t get carded so he had an over 21 bracelet all weekend so he could drink. For Brooks & Dunn we were so close they shot out confetti and we were COVERED. Though Gary is my fave Sugarland was one of the best and had sooo much energy. Plus we were sooo close to stage the whole time. Especially they have these walkways where you can walk right up to the stage and take a picture of the artists. It was sooo cool. Everyone carries around squirt bottles and like the guys squirt girls in the boobs and butt and stuff but its soo hot so its nice. I walked around in my bikini top cause that’s what you do and I felt comfy cause of the redneck people doing it haha. The only problem we had was this storm came and the rain was sooo hard and it started to hail sooo bad. We ran to the car and couldn’t find it (there are 30,000 ppl that go to this thing) Tents were flying and people were trying to hold them down (and be under them) but all they have there is tents no solid buildings. I seriously thought there was going to be a tornado. And the hail was just soooo bad Matt was hugging me from behind trying to block me from it and at one point I just stopped looking for our car and hid behind a truck haha. Despite this, we stayed for the rest of it after it stopped. Which I’m glad cause Abbey from PNH sang a little.
Each night we drove back home (an hr or so) but stopped at denny's. The first night i accidently knocked over the metal toothpick holder and the toothpicks went everywhere. Everyone was from the jamboree and they just all clapped for about 5 mins until i took a bow. Lol i was def drunk.

So This past Thurs - Sunday was sooo good. Like im sooo happy and i hope today it doesn't change. I'm sick of being up down.
Thurs I headed up to BF to stay with matt for a while. We ended up going to Matt's friend Chelsea's house and watched "Definatly, maybe" or something like that. OMG my new fave movie and i really need to buy it. We stayed there for a while and watched some crew dance competitoin on MTV, it was pretty sweet. Came home and went to bed.
In the AM got up and it was the fourth. We messed around with getting wood in case people came over for a fire. We played some bocce with Matt's mom and her bf. and We ended up that night going to his friend, Martin, 's mom's bf's... it was fun. I played corn hole for the first time which i surprisingly liked it...I thought i would hate it. We just drank, ate, and watched fireworks...ya know the whole fourth thing. And came back to matt's. I pretty much don't remember much...that might have been the night we started tp watch '"The Bucket List" but we were exhausted and couldn't watch the whole thing. On saturday was a family picnic and i got to swim and have fun. Though when i got there i got stung by a yellow jacket and i'm mildly allergic so i met that side of the family balling my eyes out.
We ate, swam, took a nap, played with lil kids, fires and fireworks again. We left late and i was gonna go home that night but i ended up just sleeping over..and watching the end of Bucket List. Such a good movie. In the morning he had to go to work so he left at 6:30 and i def accidently fell back asleep in his bed til 8:30. oops.
Came home and that night i went to the Jason Aldean/Tim McGraw concert with melissa, her mom, jaye and liz. It was soo fun and i was so happy to see Liz and Melissa in town and it was a great concert. I was worried cause Tim's last concert I saw was terrible.
I didn't go to work today casue my bee sting is out of control, swollen and itchy. And its on the bottom of my foot so hiking at work would not be fun at alllll. I'm going to Matt's bro's baseball game tonight cause BF is playing Hopewell. So i get to seee mattttt and Wed I got free tix to the pirates game so i get to see him thennnn. Life is good...for once.

So i started gonig through old Journal entries on line and my real one at home and apparently around this time...this day exactly I always feel like running my car into a tree. Good to know the feelings pass. I read my old entries from Freshman year about my stalker and fucked up relationship to remind me that I have a better life now...um i seemed happier then. WTF. And last summer i was happier and did more when i worked 70 hours a week. I don't get life. I really don't.
I'm a trader. I just applied (well i'm in the process of) Applying to two jobs in Philly/Philly area. It makes me sick. Dear life. Perk up please. Love me.

| Need money? - Cashcrate! |
[01 Jul 2008|02:56pm] |
Ok so i'm in love with Cashcrate again since i really need money and it comes to my aid.
Cashcrate is a place with links where you fill out surveys for money. First there are daily surveys where you just fill out surveys about the products you use and like.
Then there are the other surveys that can be anything from saying yes or no to offers or picking between two restaurants. It's fallback..Junk mail. So I just created a e-mail addy i use just for that site...i'm talking like a thoousand emails a day! I do the 100% free ones and dont ever give my credit card number. And i dont get junk snail mail at home. The check comes once a month as long as you ge tthe minimum of 10 dollars..if not it just carries over to the next month until you do.
If you are interested you can go here: http://cashcrate.com/237638 and sign up. Read about it first before you start. Also most surveys are for points too and you can cash in your points for gift cards and such. Anddd if you shop online through thier site you get anywhere from 2% - 10% cashback at places like Itunes etc.
Happy Money making. And if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a comment.
