I was babysitting today, and as I was trying to prepare lunch for the kids, I realized that I am really short. I mean, I knew that before, but when you're really having to look around for a chair/ladder to stand on to cook over the stove, it just begins to get ridiculous. So I have decided, that my house will be built entirely to scale around my height.
Seems selfish, but then again, constructing clothes that only fit models that are 5'10" and weigh 100 pounds and buildings that are all built around the average height person is a bit selfish too. So my husband will have to deal with a house built for Lilliputians. And it's not like I'm going to marry Gulliver anyway.
-----------------------------------
So happy Independence Day everyone. For some reason, this year, calling it Independence Day rather than the Fourth of July just seems all too fitting.
Just everything that has been going on, it seems as if it's all moving away from everything I once knew. And in a weird way, I really like that. I'm going to uncharted waters and I'm nervous and excited about it all at the same time.
So happy Independence Day to one and all.

Okay so if you haven't posted an anoymous comment yet do it. I really do want to read what you guys have to say.

Good day today.
Greg left for Colorado for 2 weeks though. I'm really going to miss him. It's so fucking ridiculous. But he'll call every couple of days and we'll talk and then he'll be home before we all know it. I love that boy.
After Greg left I picked up donuts and kolaches, then vegged out, showered/sat in the tub for a while, got dressed, vegged out some more, played piano, checked emails, got redressed because I still looked atrocious, then went to Target and almost bought new shoes using my gift card.
I have no trouble buy food with money that I worked so hard for, but yet when I'm given money as a gift and get a chance to spend it on something inedible, I can't do it. Yet, I'm the first one to offer money to someone if they need it.
I don't get it.
But after my near purchase excursion I decided to go to the mall to see if I can use up my Old Navy giftcard but the mall was closed once I got there. :/ Today wasn't my day for purchases I suppose.
So work tomorrow. And then OPEN MIC NIGHT! Woot! I'm excited actually. I know the three songs I'm going to play and I'm ready to rawk some sawks :/

I can't wait for July!

Post anonymously and tell me anything you've ever wanted to but didn't have the guts.
Good or bad, I don't care. I just feel like reading today. All my typing skills went to shit when I was typing up a beautiful email and then my internet went to shit.
So no typing today, just reading. So give me something to read.

I'm missing the whole Relationship thing. I don't know what made me miss it out of nowhere, I just do.
I guess it was falling asleep without having talked to anyone. I really miss my friends, but summer is almost over and then I can be super busy with music and school and friends so I'll be okay.
----------------------------------
I'm really breaking ground with my music though, I'm so fucking excited. I played this Open Mic Night at this bar in downtown Houston which was super awesome and time slot aside, I did really well. I played at like midnight and there were like 8 people in the bar not including the wait staff but still. It was amazing.
So I plan on going back next Monday and hassling the guys that jumped in line before me. Maybe if I wore a low cut shirt they might get distracted and I'll sign up to play 5th instead of 16th.
Yes, I said it....16th.
But CDs out soon. We have to figure out how to work the little label thingys and then we shall mass distribute them, even without an official statement from Library of Congress.
Whatev!!

I could stay inside all day. Just watching tv, taking showers, eating, singing, playing guitar and piano, drawing, playing Sudoku, reading. And I think the person I find to be with forever will do the same thing with me. None of this "we should go outside now...we've been in bed all day." I could stay in bed and be completely productive. Get a couple of chapters read, paint some stuff, take some pictures, write a song. I don't have to get out of my house to be productive. I can do it in my sheets in my boxers.
So I've decided that will be my man. A man who would love to stay in bed all day with me and let me write a song in front of him.
That quality among other things. But that will be the ultimate.
Yeah I like getting out of bed every now and then-I mean you have to take out the trash and check the mail and stuff. And if I need groceries I just drive on over to the store which is another one of my favorite things to do. I don't have to go outside. Staying inside is fun.

I'm reading a lot more now thanks to babysitting. Which is actually kind of funny now that I think of it. I should be watching the children but I have my nose in books, all the fucking time. The TV is out which is the main reason why I'm reading I'm ashamed to say, but it's good because I need to read anyway.
Fight Club-done in 3 days
The Bell Jar-reading for the second time. Should be done by Saturday.
High Fidelity-bought today. Will start on Monday when I go back
Valley of the Dolls-once I find it, I'll buy it and read it when I'm done with High Fidelity
I had forgotten how much I loved leisure reading. All of my thoughts now are in novel form, really descriptive and obscure and always relating to some other experience I had before. It's weird though because even draining out the water in the Slip 'N Slide, I was explaining it to myself, as if I were a reader that had no idea how difficult it was to drain a fucking Slip 'N Slide. Maybe I'm just thinking in LiveJournal Mode...if that's even a mode.
But today I realized how much I really missed writing. I found my journal from 2005-2006 and I'm ridiculous. But at least I was writing. I stopped writing in here even and I forgot how much I really loved it. I didn't have an English class this past semester and I was barely writing any songs so I'm really rusty. It's just nice to get words out now.
------------------------------------
I need to buy a new journal. Too much has happened to pick up where I left off and I hate filling myself in because I feel like I'm only writing just to read it later, not really to vent or figure things out. I have about three unfinished journals because of that very reason. Too much happens, I crash, I slowly pick myself up, and then I get a new journal and start the process over. There will be one less name in the new one though I can assure you that. I won't talk about him as much. His name was on every page in that journal. I hated reading it.
So it's time to get a new one. A new journal for my new life.

"Littlest Things" Lily Allen |
] |
Going to McAllen tomorrow. And I do really plan on actually calling people up and hanging out with them.
I don't know why I'm scared of people. I've always been somewhat scared of what they really think of me. I don't like bothering people I guess and I feel that if I call them that I'm interrupting something. It's stupid and childish and I know I should get over it, but it's really hard for me for some reason.
---------------------------
In all the times I ever thought about it, I never thought about how my aunts, uncles and my grandmother would take it. I always just thought about my friends or my mom or the people that pissed me off. I always thought about them being in pain and regretting everything. I never thought about my grandmother and what her face would look like if she never saw me again.
And one night while I was tossing and turning in my bed, her face appeared in my mind. And then my Uncle Ruben was there at my imagined funeral. And all my cousins slowly started to show up and I saw them all.
It made me really sad knowing that because I was selfish and weak, they have to live on with this scratch in the family name. It made me really sad knowing that my grandmother would never make the food she loves to cook for me ever again. It made me so sad realizing that my cousins would have to think about it and that they would (hopefully) be devastated.
And then it made me realize that it's not just about me. The shit I do really does affect people whether I like to believe it or not. And after all this shit has happened with me and the person I truly love, I still didn't really understand it. It took me thinking about never waking up for the millionth time to make me realize.
I made a promise to my little brother. And sometimes I hate that I did, but I see him laugh and then I love that I did.
I can't wait to go home and see my grandmother and my aunts and uncles and cousins. It's been way too fucking long.
