mymichele's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am 23. Yeah, I'm just as impressed as you are. So, today, I am 23 years old. Yes, yes, I know you're impressed, but hold your applause until the ride is over. What has happened in the past year? I am tempted to say "Well, I sat on my ass and did absolutly nothing, and hey! Your mom!" But that's not exactly true. I mean, hey, I did accomplish my number one dream in life. How many times can we say we did that? Very few times, my friends, very few. I also got a job! And I didn't get fired! And it was at a newspaper! Like I've said before, that was one of the greatest things I've ever done for myself. And hey! I lost 20 pounds! I've never lost 20 pounds before, so that's exciting. I have another 40 to go, but let's not talk about that now! I maintained a relationship for another year, making it to a whole 5 years. That's not easy, folks. Just you try. I am thisclose to graduating. I wasn't thisclose to graduating last year! I also started talking to an old friend that I thought I had lost forever. If that's not good, I don't know what is. And you know.. other stuff. So, that's good stuff. I don't know what's going to happen on my birthday this year. BB has never been big on the whole birthday festivities.. I mean, I was so fed up with him on my 19th birthday that I broke up with him, so weird things can happen. But yeah. I'm 23. I'm old. Or something. ***** Anyway, on to other happy good times! Remember, if you're planning on doing Nanowrimo and would like to have some support in your insanity, come by and sign up here. I think it'll be fun, but who knows, I'm just 23. ***** Okay, okay, so I decided on a date for the tattoo. Diet Friend came by today and we chatted for a while, which was awesome because I haven't seen her for months, and she agreed to go with me on Thursday night. So, Thursday will be good times for me, I would imagine. I told my mom about getting the tattoo and she tried her hardest to talk me out of it. She's like, "just think about it for another year." I'm like.. hellloo! Let's look at it closely here. 1. I've wanted a tattoo ever since 6th grade, when I was in my rebellious stage. That was 11 years ago. 2. I've liked Guns N Roses since I was in 6th grade, when I was in my rebellious stage. That was 11 years ago. 3. I want a tattoo of a rose, to represent my love for Axl Rose, my belief in the fact that roses represent love, for the song The Rose by Bette Midler, and like, Rose on the Golden Girls or something. I think, since I have waited 11 years for this, that I am ready. Maybe my obsession will go away like they always do and I'll get over it by Thursday, but I think this one is going to bother me until I do it. I know it's not really that big of a deal, but if you came from my family you'd understand. Woo! ***** I learned a very important life lesson from my mom today: don't ask questions and don't get mad around your birthday, because you never really know what's going on. I got a little irritated with BB today because he didn't even ask me about my radio thingie. I didn't expect him to listen, but I did expect him to show at least a little interest in the damn thing. So I kinda started a little argument when we were talking about it online and finally I'm like, "Showing a little interest in things that are important to your girlfriend would be nice." I then took a shower and when I came back, he had said "If I wasn't interested I wouldn't have listened to the whole thing and I wouldn't have voted for you in the end." And then he left. So he was just fucking with my mind or something. Boys are just weird, damnit! Right, right? But he did listen to the whole thing and he was proud of me, so I was happy. ***** ALI KAT! WHERE ARE YOU! FRIGGIN EMAIL ME, YOU FRIGGIN MYSTERY WOMAN! GUHHHH!!! ***** I learned another lesson from my mom today: if you think something is wrong, something is probably wrong. I was driving along today and I thought my car was making the kind of noise it does when it has a flat tire. But I didn't check it out or anything because I'm not very smart. Just as I was seriously about to get on the highway, this dude honked at me and pointed to my tire, and I was like.. ooooh, so I do have a flat tire! So I had to devote some time and $5 for them to diagnose my tire as a lost cause and have them put the spare tire on. Buh, I say. ***** What was MyMichele doing a year ago? "So, it's time for a little happy birthday to me reflection. In the past year: - My 13 old dog died the weekend of my last birthday. My family is still not over it. He was just the best dog you could ever ask for. I mean.. he got the paper! Even when he was 13 he'd still go outside with me and drag the paper inside. He was such a good little Golden Retriever. -I tried to lose weight every day, only succeeding in gaining it. - Reunited with an old friend. (God almighty, what took us so long?!) - Came out of my "Well, I'd rather go shopping/see a movie/eat lunch/etc by myself" shell and made some friends, got somewhat of a social life and became a little more outgoing. - Got a B! in Math while at the same time forming a somewhat large crush on the student teacher, who had man boobs. - Spent way too much money. - In a sudden moral fit, I threw away all my porn, including a vibrator and about 10 tapes, in the dumpster. Luckily, a few months later I regained my senses and bought a new vibrator and a couple of new tapes. (Hey, once a deviant, always a deviant) - Found myself legally able to gamble, and subsequently (with a trip to Reno and two trips to Louisiana) found out that I really sucked at gambling. - Got addicted to Scrabble, Yahtzee, and Monopoly. (Thank you, Games.com! - Through two road trips, went to two countries (Just Mexico and Canada, I know, not very interesting), went to New York City for the first time, also went to Washington DC, Philadephia, Delaware, Baltimore, Maine, and all those other East Coast cities that I had never seen. Also went in a Land Rover when gas prices were at their highest. Umm.. I don't recommened that. - Celebrated my little puppy's 2nd birthday. Aww! He's my little boy! He's my little puppy dog! - Disoovered the life-sucking addiction of Diaryland and made a few froggy-friends and such. - Almost found my ass dumped but a few months later had a 4 year anniversary. - Watched in horror as terrorism changed the whole world, while in my political science class. - Saw the hoover dam! - Cried, laughed, got angry and frustrated and happy, bought lots of books, wrote a lot of email, pondered new things, missed old friends, wondered if I was wasting my time in college doing things that made me happy now but when I'm looking back, will I be happy or sad that I lived the way I did? - Got closer and further everyday from accepting God's place in my life. - Got some pretty new shoes! - Became obsessed with the show Boston Public." 12:03 a.m. - October 12, 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
