Mindless Ramblings

Ok it has been like 2 years I know. For those of you who do not know. I live in Arlington, VA and work in DC. I have an uneventful job but it pays the bills. I found the love of my life when I was not looking and we are engaged. We have not set a date but he would like to do it next year. My parents finally left Korea and live about 45 minutes from me. I have a grey chinchilla named Nibbles and she is just the cutest thing in the world. She is poop monster though. Not much other then that. Miss a lot of people in Louisiana.

So talked to Russell today and he mentioned livejournal so I thought it has been a dinosaur butt since I have been on it so lets check it out. Been on myspace alot. But an update for those whose who I haven't talked to or seen in a while. Been in and out the country. Vacation and working. I got my piece of paper from LSU and am starting to apply to grad schools. I maybe moving to Korea for three years to work before I can be transferred to any place in the states and I figure I'm young I can sacriface three years. Just no dating for a long time. Because I don't want a korean and Military men are out the question. Broke up with Andrew a few months ago and now trying to find myself. And I kknow I can't do it here. I'm very unhappy is Louisiana and I can't wait to leave. January is looking more and more like when I will leave.

So I hada song stuck in my head for like 4 days, thing is i didn't know who it was, but i heard it on vinyl when i lived with my father so i called him up and got the name of the singer, John Prine. I went out and bought the CD and now i want to do a painting on one of the songs call "Sam Stone" MAy I mention the music is so not me but i like it here are the lyrics to the song:
Sam Stone came home,
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back.

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Mmm....

Sam Stone's welcome home
Didn't last too long.
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

[Chorus]

Sam Stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill.

[Chorus]

While on AIM I wrote * a monkey gives you a hug then runs away*. Hey i was bored out of my mind. Most people were like k...... Except LAcey who *grabs monkey's tail* and said "come back here & let me hug you back!" It made me smile to know that there was someone who would play back with me.

Ok here is the low down. Finally healed from my staph infection. My mom got into a car accident, her first in 20 yrs. She was hit by an old man in his 70's. Another reason why i think old people shouldn't drive. I got a new job. No more hair weave. I work at Ambrosia bakery. I now have to deal with snobby white women instead of bitchy black women. I also got into a car accident. I know another one but this time it wasn't my fault. The other girl got a ticket for an illegal left turn and yeah.... My mom leaves here on the 27th of this month. Been a lot of drama with extended family and I learned how to knit. I feel so grandma-ish now. Oh and I'm constantly tired.

Current Mood: exhausted

So yeah I was feeling bad because andrew got a staph infection right. They cut him open to drain him and put medical gauze in him. Poor andrew right. He is on two antibiotics and pain killers. guess what I have a staph infection now. I hada bump into my breasts I thought it wasa mosquiye bite. No it is staph. I got cut up and drained and stuffed full of gauze. I get two antibotics but no pain killers. Plus i can't lay on my side because my boobs push on my infection and it hurts. But i did learn something really important. You know those sheet they give you at walgreens. well i read it for the meds and i found out that i can't take one because it is sulfur based.
Last time i took something sulfur based I had a bad allegric reaction. So they gave me a new med. But on the plus side my mom made me chicken and dumplings.

Current Mood: uncomfortable

Took my an hour and 45 min. to get home today and the worse part of it was that all I could think about were the ribs in my frig. Tired tho. PArking on campus sucked major too but hey ADAPT and OVERCOME. hehehehe sorry. Shouldn't be spouting out military slogans but I couldn't help myself. To those affected by the hurricane my heart goes out to you. My parents are coming home on Monday to take care of me. Releases some stress. Friday I'm putting in my 2 week at the hair store. Can't fucking take that job anymore. Anyone got any suggestion on where to work now?

watched Van wilder tonight and I started thinking. I start my 5th year at LSU next sem and I really don't want to grad in the spring. True I will be doing it will 2 degrees but it is scary. The thought of being out there in the world. I guess I see college as my security blanket. It protects me from having to be out there in the working world. Yet at the same time I want to be independent, which comes with getting a job and moving out on my rents place. Scary. Tomorrow I start my one summer class. Something to do so I don't get bored over the summer. Well on to another subject completely. Had a great time with my sister in Hawaii. Lots of fun, didn't get a wonderful tan like I wanted but it will do for now and I have all summer to work on it anyway. Korea was fun but hiked up two mountains by accident, that sucked very much. well I should shower and get some sleep but I'm jet laged and stuck in hawaiian time I normally didn't go to bed until like midnight or 1 which is 5 or 6 here in br. And I have class at 7:30. this should be fun

Annual sale at Lousiana doubleplay, come visit me and buy comics/trades at 20 % off.
man I feel like a whore now.

Parents think something is wrong with me because i'm not worried about finals this year. The way i see it is that I can;t make an A so the least I can do is keep my B's and I have plenty of cushion anyway. I've been studying it is just that I'm not worried. Plus I don't care. I just want to get on that airplane and go to korea for two weeks then go to hawaii and visit my sister for two weeks. Poor thing needs me right now. Also Andrew is going with me. CAn't believe my parents agreed to that one but hey what the hell. He is going to have an experience that he has never had before. Off to work
