Apartment/Roommate Hunting

  • Sep. 18th, 2007 at 5:43 PM
Not really retarded
It is stressful and hard. I am trying to find a new place for me to live that is close to school and (hopefully) close to work. I am also trying to find a place where I can transfer work situations. I mean, I still want to work with starbucks but I would like it to be closer to my school and hopefully closer to my house. Basically I am trying to move everything closer to school so I can then get the fuck out of dodge. I am ready to go tShland and try out SOU. I think it will be great, I really do.
But this whole process is one od the most frusterating of my life. It is all sort of up in the air while I dont know what I am doing. I dont know where I am going to live or who I am going to live with. That is also a very big frusterating part. I need a roommate but that is complicated. Ugh.

Craziness has ensued

Okay so school hasnt even started yet and I am already feeling a bit panicky. So it looks like whatever decisions I make here concerning graduation it involves me moving out of my house for the first time. CRAZY. I did not plan on this until next year when I left for big university but I guess it is a good thing. I am actually excited. And scared, but not so scared that I dont want to do it. However, I would not be moving out until this upcoming term is over, and this upcoming term is going to be utterly NUTS. I am taking a full course load when I thought I would only be taking one or two classes, so I am adjusting to that new development, and the bloody effing commute is going to be longer than last year, and last year it took me TWO HOURS on the bus to get there and TWO HOURS to get home. Four hours of my life gone and wasted because I get car sick very badly and can only sit on the bus and listen to my iPod. Ugh. Plus all the smelly crazy bus people freak me out sometimes. I am sorry, that may sound harsh but it is freakin true, alright? :)
Also I will starting work again in November and I am hoping against hope that I get to transfer to this lovely little store that is much like the one I used to work in that is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from my school. Yes, it would be ideal. In fact, it would be perfect and I would sing and dance and rejoice the gods if this were something that would be possible. So please send me good thoughts and intentions because I really want all this to go well :) Thank you very very much :)
I love you all and i will update more later :)

Hell

Okay so my internet and cable was disconnected there for a while and I almost went crazy in that little hell there because I am an internet addict. But now we are back in action. But I did get a lot of reading done and I also got some time to do a bit of art which is lovely. I haven't had time to do art in a really long while so it was quite relaxing. I am also still thinking my brains out about what to do with myself this upcoming 2008 year. Craziness is everywhere and many different options have made themselves available so we will wait and see.

Loves to all and I promise to write a better post later :)

Words of Wisdom

  • Sep. 6th, 2007 at 8:24 PM
P&P

School is so freaking insane. Seriously. School hasn't even started yet and I am being faced with life changing decisions that have to be made. After being depressed and sort of "out of it" for so long, this is weird. I am at that point, i mean i am at the age where the decisions need to be made but they are still scary and i am uncertain about both choices. That sort of crazy mess. 
But I am trying, which is more than i could have done a couple of months ago so i still feel that things are looking up. 
I am missing my best friend in California. We don't really talk very much anymore. I miss her terribly. It sucks when shit like this happens. I want it all to be over and settled. I just want to be done. All this nonsense in the middle is not fun. Maybe if I had a life and friends things would be better, but they are not so I am pissed and depressed and not the person I am want to be. And that is super sad to me.


I could use some words of kindness. Some words of wisdom are always welcome too :)

Realization

  • Sep. 3rd, 2007 at 8:12 PM
i love you
I started reading The Mists of Avalon today. I am really excited because it is a really big book and I believe there are two other big books after it. Yay for a new series! Also, okay I know everyone has known this forever and ever and I have also been quite aware of this, but just recently I have been VERY aware of how attractive Orlando Bloom is. I mean he is just gorgeous. I like the more scruffy look on guys and when he is scruffy in Kingdom of Heaven and stuff, whew. I have always been very aware of how attractive he is and have harbored a crush for years, but it is like really hitting me recently how amazingly beautiful he is :) 

Also have you noticed how the guy who plays Mr. Wickham in Pride and Prejudice looks like Orlando Bloom? Especially when Orlando was Legolas. Take a look and tell me if I am crazy: 





 

Inheritance Trilogy

Goddess
So now school is drawing nearer and nearer and I do NOT want to go. I have a meeting with my awesome counselor on Thursday to get all my issues sorted out, but I still have the issue of transportation. My school is now so bloody far away and I do not drive. Pain in the ass? Why yes, yes it is. I am working on it though, I swear. Driving just freaks me out. I am entirely sure why. People younger than are driving and driving perfectly well. It is a weird fear, but a fear nonetheless.
But I am working on it.
I am also trying to keep my room clean which is proving to be quite a chore. I am not a dirty person, but I like to keep books and magazines next to my bed and then it sort of spreads.
I have also read Eragon and Eldest this week. I had read Eragon a while ago and it is so freaking amazing! But I re-read it and then read Eldest in a day and a half because it is so bloody amazing. Honestly, if you are seriously missing Harry Potter like me, then Eragon trilogy is a good one to get your mind off of it.
The third book in the Eragon (Inheritance) Trilogy will be out soon to so you will have something to look forward to if you like these books!

Take care everyone and let me know how you like these amazing books! 

Growing Up...

  • Aug. 28th, 2007 at 9:20 PM
Shoo
...Is so stressful it makes me want to cry. 

I am reading a lot again. I do this when I stress. The ultimate escape. Fabulous wonderful escape. But escape nonetheless. I also stayed up last night in order to watch my first lunar eclipse. It was pretty fabulous. It is so weird, it looked like a giant sheet was being VERY SLOWLY pulled across the moon. It was so bright and then all of a sudden it wasn't. Pretty amazing :)

I do not want to go back to school. I have to though. I wanna be smart and I want to get a job and grow up and be responsible and have fun. The steps to getting there though are freaking me out and pissing me off. Seriously, it would be so cool if it could all just suddenly become easy, ya know? 

I really wish I could drive. I am working on it. But it is a pain and annoying and frightening. I am so sick of being scared of every little goddamn thing. 

Christ, what is so fucking wrong with me?

Musings

  • Aug. 27th, 2007 at 4:03 PM
Twilight

I just thought I would get some of my writing out there. So here are some snipets of things that I have been writing lately.

Piece #1:
To feel this sort of aching for someone whom I do not even know, whom I am not even aware of their existence is both completely alarming and totally depressing. I am in love with a faceless bodiless, maybe even fictional person. I have created my perfect yet flawed other half without even knowing if they exist. These yearnings and severe and deep wounds of love are for a person that does not, to my knowledge, exist. Now how do you suppose dear reader I precede with my feelings from here? How am I supposed to profess my undying love to someone whom I have never met? My heart pounds at the thought that his other half of my heart may exist. The yearning deep and sincere in ever single fiber of my being for a love that I have never even come close to feeling is becoming more a kin to a curse than anything else. And then there is the danger of myself finally meeting a perfectly wonderful man, whom I completely pass over because I hold him up to impossible standards set by only myself and my addiction to daydreaming. What am I to do then? Be alone forever? I suppose I could survive it, but only because I have done so thus far. I know I could survive it, actually. I just do not wish to be alone. I wish, as I have made very apparent by my self induced suffering by falling for a fictional man created by myself and my indulgent imagination, to fall in love completely and totally and to be loved completely and totally for all that I am. But then of course, there is always the danger of compromising too much and just settling because I am so scared of being alone, which to me would be worse than being alone. I conclude then, that I must have faith in myself and faith in love. Faith that when I fall in love, I will trust that love and follow my heart, as corny as that may sound. If the man I fall for is not the man I have dreamt of, but I fall in love with him I will have faith in my happiness and his ability to make me fall so irrevocably in love with him. I will not settle, but I will allow myself to fall in love. I will guard my heart until I feel the love I know deep in my entire being I deserve. For I shall not give my love to a man who does not deserve it. Because when I do finally fall in love I will love that man with all of my heart. I will give my heart willingly and happily asking only for the same in return. The man, who can do this, is of the highest regard in my book. The man who can return my love in its fullest deserves it.



Piece #2:
I fell into my seat at the table, not noticing the stares I received from my family. Ahhh, just freakin fantastic. She made the weird and disgusting burritos. What a life I have. I grimaced at my plate and got back up to get something to drink instead. Why should I bother eating, I was a flippin hippo anyway. I heard my dear mother mumble something tentatively from the table. I barely lifted the hair out of my eyes as I grumbled, “Eh?”
“You really should at least try to eat something, honey. I know you don’t want to but your body needs fuel. Just eat a little protein or something.” 
 I sigh grandly and grab a slice of turkey out of the fridge and cringe as I shove it in my mouth, swallow, and throw her a contemptible grimace. Taking my glass of orange, I shuffle down the brightly lit hall way to the dark vast gloom of the bat cave that is my room. I really do feel bad. My mom is the best ever. I am so unbelievably awful to everyone it is no wonder anyone wants to be near me. She just wants me to eat something and I have to go and be a bitch. Wonderful. I bet she is so glad to have such a wonderful daughter. I wish I could just make them all happy. I wish I was happy. That’s all I want, too much to ask, pray tell? I set my glass on my bedside table and flop back onto my bed and lay there for several minutes as I let the tears from this little adventure fall down my cheeks and stain my bed with a salty layer. Then I sit up and once more pull the covers up to my chin and turn on my life support… other wise known as the television. Sweet television. Blind numbing nothingness. Oh how I love that silvery box of dreams. Take me away, Panasonic, take me away!  


Please honestly tell me what you think. I will continue to work on this stuff until I am satisfyed but I of course would love to hear what you think! Thanks!

 

Excursions into the great unknown

  • Aug. 26th, 2007 at 7:54 PM
Not really retarded
I had myself a lovely little weekend, I did.

I started cleaning my room friday afternoon. And when I say clean, I mean REALLY clean because my room looked like a bomb went off in there. I also still hadn't unpacked several boxes so there was that to deal with as well. So at around noon on friday I started cleaning and didn't start until around 11 that night. It is so beautiful in there now and I absolutely LOVE to spend time in there! I swear I love things clean, but it is the hassle of actually cleaning them that frustrates the hell out of me. But I am super relieved and feel much more relaxed now that my room is sparkly and beautiful.

Then on saturday I went to my friend Rebecca's house after not seeing her for about a year. Seriously. It was cool, except that she was sick so we didn't get to go anywhere which was kind of a bummer. But we dealt. We talked and caught up and watched movies, so it was still a lovely time. Then this morning we slept in and then went to lunch with some of Becca's friends at a really good Thai restaurant that I forget the name of. It was excellent. I was so hungry too so it was even that much more satisfying in my empty tummy :)

Now I am home and bored after going to the store and picking up dinner for everyone. School is getting closer and I am not looking forward to it due to the verrrrry long commute I have ahead of me as well as the fact that I am only taking Math and Environmental Science. Ugh. I hate both Math AND Science so... Ugh. But I am hoping to get some issues sorted out before school starts so it will all go more smoothly this quarter.

Peace :)

My addiction

  • Aug. 24th, 2007 at 2:16 PM
Peyton
I believe I have an addiction. Yes, I admit it, freely. Right here, right now I am going to inform you all of my serious, sometimes debilitating addiction. I, Kayla, am addicted to Music. I cannot stop listening. I dream about it, when I eat, I am humming, sometimes even *gulp* WHISTLING. I know, its a little over the top what with the fact that I cannot sleep without music, I cannot concentrate without music and the mere silence of driving in the car drives me nuts until I can turn the dial of the radio and feel the sweet relief provided by melody. It is a deep and dark addiction that is taking over my life.


And I LOVE it.

On a different note, I am cleaning my room. How interesting is THAT?! I know! But seriously, tomorrow my dear friend Rebecca is coming over to pick me up and take me to her house for a very long awaited visit and my room looks as if a tornado hit. So i am cleaning away to make it somewhat presentable. I really would like to paint it though. A yellow color, or a maroon I am not entirely sure. I would also like to own a villa in tuscany, so there ya go.
Tomorrow, my step-dad is also flying to Denmark for work. How awesome is that? He is going to get to get a stamp in his passport and explore this brand new wonderful place! YAY! I wish I could go. He said sometime soon he will be able to take me and I can get a passport and a STAMP. How amazing will THAT be?

Okay, so obviously, I don't have anything really nice to talk about so I am just rambling. I will go now and hopefully write something more interesting and lovely later :)

Apologies Galore

  • Aug. 23rd, 2007 at 9:25 AM
Sirius Black
My dear lovely livejournal! Please forgive me for my absence these past weeks. Life has been a pain in my ass and so in dealing with it, I have neglected my little writing haven here, and for that I apologize.

Here's a quick little update:
I am taking some time off of work in order to situate my medication. I have switched to some new stuff which is much better already but the unfortunate part is waiting and checking out the side-effects and whatnot. That has always been the most terrible part of this whole medication issue. Thankfully, this particular pill is proving to be quite fabulous and I haven't been feeling to many side effects, and I am starting to feel happier. Now granted I am able to get out of bed, but I am not completely up to par, but I am getting there and working hard so that I will be there eventually :)

Also, I have been on a reading extravaganza lately. It started with the Harry Potter books, of course. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ HARRY POTTER BOOK SEVEN STOP READING BECAUSE I AM SURE I WILL SPOIL SOMETHING FOR YOU. COME BACK AND READ WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED THE BOOK :) Now just a little note here, I am extremely attached to these books. These characters are real to me, friends and peers. So when someone dies in these books I mourn hardcore. Many of my friends and family were seriously worried about me when I start reading one of these books because I get so freakin distraught should anyone in my dear harry potter books become unhappy in anyway. I am seriously weirdly and over the top attached to these books. So i re-read 1-6 before reading the final 7th book in order to get my bearings again. Many thousands of tears and sleep-less nights ensued during this process. Many solitary full days gone by with me digesting book after book in my room and then the fateful day arrived when I started reading the 7th and final book. From chapter one, i was already totally bawling for several reasons: a.) It is the end of an era. Harry Potter has accompanied me through many stages of life and I love the entire Harry Potter world. b.) I am in love with Harry Potter. Seriously. Stop laughing. c.) Deaths occur within minutes of reading the 7th book!!!! So with a combination of all of these things I was a wreck throughout the entire book. Then with the deaths of Mad-Eye, Hedwig, Fred, Tonks, Lupin, Dobby, amongst other minor characters, I was on the brink of literlly crying a freaking river. Seriously. My parents and my dear brother were worried about me. You should have seen me at the death of Dumbledore. Inconsolable for weeks. Anyway, I finsished the book feeling better about the ending but already missing Harry and the gang and those who had passed. That journey was amazing and I am so happy to have these books. I love Harry potter and will miss starting these new journey's with each release of a new book but will be thrilled to read them over and over again and pass them along to my sisters and/or future children.

Also, I am an addict when it come to Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' Series. Holy crap, it is on the same level of obsession with my Harry Potter obsession. Absolutely addicted to Twilight and New Moon and with the release of Eclipse I was completely enthralled and once again inhaled the book in one sleepless night. If you have not read these books, YOU MUST DO IT NOW. SERIOUSLY. Go and read them now. You will not be able to stop... EVER.

So there, whew. Okay mostly I talked about books, but seriously, I have been doing nothing but reading lately, which has been more than fine with me since I have missed reading like this.

So I am back and I will try my darndest to never EVER stay away from livejournal that long ever again.

Now that I am out of good series though (Except for Twilight of course) Any and all suggestions of good books would be greatly appreciated!
LOVES TO ALL!!!

Hey sorry what little people are left :(
I have been AWOL for a while. Working and dealing with life has been proven to be quite frusterating and disheartening.
I am re-reading the harry potter books before I read the alst one. Partly because there are things I have forgotton the mostly because I am SOOOOO freakin depressed that it is all about to come to a close that I am stalling the inevitable.
I love harry potter so freakin much, I grew up with this whole gang and it is all about to end! :(

Here is how it all started:



And the final book I have yet to start because I want it to prolong the greatness that is Harry Potter:

Happy Day-after-4th of JULY!!!! I forgot to wish you all a happy 4th yesterday, I know.. BAD BAD ME!!! Ahhhh well, live and learn I suppose.
So this was our first 4th of July here in Washington, where fireworks are *gasp* LEGAL. So as you might imagine, when you look up into the Washington sky, there are fireworks right above you, WHEREVER you go. Seriously, driving through our neighborhood ten minutes before the main even started was like driving through a minefield because there are fireworks littered throughout the streets. Then when we finally get to the park and ride to watch the main event of fireworks, we were verrry far away from them :( So we went home because a big part of the fun is being able to feel the BOOM of fireworks! But it was all good because we got to watch all sorts of fireworks on our way home :)

Now we are preparing for our trip to California for the music festival, and then a four day stop in my hometown. I VERY excited about that. I am NOT too excited about that fact that when we get back I am going to be working A LOT. I mean very very much. I am really excited to see my friends and listen to live music, and CAMP!!!

I will try and be a good little writer and update more often :) Toodles!

Why hello there :)

Sorry it has been a while my peeps. Craziness has, of course, ensued. Work situation IS working out though, and our new house is freakin fantastic. It is indeed quite lovely, I love it. I am still having issues with unpacking my stuff.... I just havent done it yet. I mean I still have a bunch of boxes packed up.
Me and my mom and my siblings are going on a trip to a music festival and going through my homwtown. I am super excited about THAT!
I will update later.

New House EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!

  • Jun. 16th, 2007 at 10:39 PM

Well we are here in the new house. Moving sucks some major donkey ass. Seriously. Okay so we had some movers who we had hired and at the last second they said that they were "already booked for two weeks. They just didnt have us on their schedule." Even though we had called them A MONTH ago. So we were like okay, we can move all of our shit we have done it before. And we did! We got it all loaded onto the truck and we are now over at the new house!!! We were super freakin tired though so we just unloaded everything up to our beds so that we can just crash. However, in our old house we had to use a laundry room that was *GULP* communal... but in our new house there is a washer and dryer in the fucking HOUSE! It is the little things that makes me so freakin pleased :) So I have been washing what little clothes I have out of the truck and my sheets for my bed and it is so loverly!!! So I smell really good right now and so do my clothes and sheets. Tehehehe. Everyone is all laying around and exhausted but I was too excited about the washer and dryer so I have been doing laundry. LOL. So I now I UBER pooped. Super tired. Very very tired. Me. I am. So tomorrow we are going to be unloading the rest of the truck. I am actually kind of excited because I want to organize my room and get it all pretty. So yes, we have to finish unloading the truck and then after a couple of days of unpacking we have to go and do the absolute WORST part of packing....... THE FUCKING CLEANING. We have to go back to the shithole *pardon my frrrrench* and clean the place. I HATE cleaning. Especially that place. I wish we never had to go back. But whatever. We are almost done. WE ARE ALMOST DONE.

Send me strength!!!!

Love is a Mix Tape

  • Jun. 13th, 2007 at 4:39 PM
Not really retarded
Okay so I literally had to RIP myself away from this book in the bookstore today. Actually , it is not that unusual for I often end up buying books when I am supposed to be saving money, but this time I was really good. It was hard though, people. I was in Border's all happy and pleased with myself for finishing finals and, I believe, doing pretty good on them. So I bought myself some Jamba Juice and settled in with a book that looked right up my alley called: Love is a Mix Tape. Before I knew what the hell had happened i was on the floor in the Music Journalism Isle with my shoes off and just lounging there reading this AMAZING book. Then I thought, I shall go downstairs and buy this book... RIGHT NOW! But I didnt for I am saving up for an iPod, the big kind that fit like a million songs or something. It was so harrrrrd. For I am a big spenda even though I have LITTLE money, so you can see my dilemma. All I know is that I am still thinking about this book and how much I want to go and get it and bring it home and finish it, for I had to get home and it was getting late. So, Dearest mummy's of them all, if you are reading this, I would just like to say that if you are feeling in a particularly giving mood and just happen to be in a bookstore of sorts, your eldest daughter who loves you more than anything in the whole wide world of worlds, is just putting out there that this is a read she would enjoy greatly :) Tehehehe.... subtle, eh?

In other news, here are two little dilly's I wrote today while I was outside of my classroom and waiting for my next final, let me know what you think:

The wicked never truly sleep. For 'tis then their dreams haunt them. the ghoulish shadows, the whispers, chants and screams of their foul deeds never give them rest. They toss and turn, sweating and clutching for the light they have discarded. Then the sun does rise, but the shadows linger and the memories haunt them, plaguing their eyes with dark circles, the knots in their backs and shoulders, the twitch of their hands, their breath ragged and forgotten. These are the haunting of the wicked, for they truly never sleep.

(I wrote this one.... I don't know why, I just thought it was interesting. I thought of the first line and then went from there. I swear I am not pissed at anoyone at the moment or anything... LOL )

Here is the second one I wrote:

The coffee stains his white collered shirt as it singes his skin and yellows his teeth. He drops his cigarette and curses as the group of 1st graders toddle by on a field trip, laughing at the man shouting at the fallen liquid, but then fall silent at their parents' disapproving and slightly scared glances. He goes inside to get napkins and another coffee. 

(This one is kind of an imaginary observation, if you will. I have a lot of those for some reason, and this one I found hilarious in my mind.....)

Niether of these are poetic in anyway, but they were just little scribblings from my absent mind and I thought I would share them with you all (All three of you :)

Let me know what you think! Have a great rest of the week!

Moving is stressful, and when we move, my mother becomes a scary dictating rawr-mister. It freaks me out and makes me pissed off. GRAGGH!!!!!

I just want finals to be over and I really want the move to be over and I want my driver's lisence and I want to be able to work 25-30 hours a week and go to school and not a huge mess. I am so sick of all the bullshit that I have to take care of and me being a complete depressed weirdo who cannot even function. TOO MUCH. I am tired and I want to rest.

I want to be able to move out and be OKAY. That is what I want. My life will be all sorts of simple if i can just transfer stores and get an apartment over by my school. DEAR LORD will my life be so much eaier that way.

So I will try..... I wil try HARD.

Wish me luck :)
