His fingernails are longer than mine and they are yellow. His nose looks like he hasn't cleaned it in a month of Sundays and he smells bad. I have on headphones listening to music and I am playing around on my phone - pretty much doing everything under the sun to ignore this guy. He asks me what my name is - I tell him. He asks me what I'm listening too - I ignore the question and when he keeps pestering me I say "music." He then proceeds to talk about his baby momma. He asks me for my number and I say "No." He then proceeds to talk to his friend sitting in the seat in front of him about needless shit to make himself feel better. He also talks about how he is better than most other guys.
He asks me where my other half is - at this point I am desperate for this douche to leave me alone so I say he's in Florida visiting his parents for Thanksgiving. He asks why we aren't together and I tell him it's because our families are in different states. He then goes to say that this is unacceptable and if we were together I would have to be with him. I then go on to say it doesn't always work like that and describe my relationship with my "boyfriend." How kind, caring, and hot he his. I tell him we have been together for 3 years and that we are apartment hunting together, etc.
I was on the train for 30 minutes and this guy just did not get it. When we got to New Carrollton I all but ran off the train and to Lauren.
Why me? Arrggh.

So I think I've finally found my groove. You know that place where you have a map of what you want to do and you know exactly how you're goin to get it done? You start each task and everything falls into place with vary degrees of effort? Well I'm there. It's a happy place to be. I'm hoping I can stag here until the start of classes in January. I'm also hoping that I can find this groove again when school is thrown it the mix.
I'm excited for grad school more so than I ever was with undergrad. I know where I'm going and I know why I'm going. This time I'm not withdrawing. Janay ruined something that was important and I am not letting anyone else get in my way.
Janay has sinced stopped making efforts (as small as they were) to talk to me. I wonder if she was actually gotten the court summons.
I'm going to see New Moon next weekend. I hope it's good. Twilight was kind of a let down. High hopes this time around.
Hopefully today will be a simple day at work...

There was a popping sound that reminded me of popcorn and a burning smell. I was there for an hour and got the majority of the work done that was needed. I have to go back for two more fillings that should be as easy as the first ones. My jaw is a little achy but well worth it.
The moral of the story is that if you need to get fillings and you have the money do laser filings. The total cost for yesterday was about $1000 but with insurance I only had to pay $180 - that includes the $50 copay that I have.

Now The dark begins to rise
Save your breath it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Nows your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world
I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I Will Not Bow, I Will Not Break
I Will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
Fall!
Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake
I will shut the world away
You're right!
I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake
I will shut the world away
Fall!

I really wanna go biking. I haven't been in sooooo long. I've wanted to go all summer. There is a really awesome trail in downtown Silver Spring that I'm hoping to check out. It should be a really good work out.
I finally found the bed frame I want. It's sooooo pretty! I'm ordering it on Friday! I already have a canopy and fire fly lights for it. ohhh this is going to be amazing. Final step finding a box spring and choosing a wall paint color.

I found this after an unsuccessful trip to mattress discounters with Aurora. How in the hell does a bedroom furniture place not have any full size bed frames? How is that possible?!
Work has been slow this week. I guess I better enjoy it while it lasts.
also I want another tattoo. who wants to go with me?

So this marks the end of the off the first week of driving school. Most of the videos are from 1980. It's a little ridiculous. It's pretty dull and boring. Let's see if I can make it without falling asleep.

By Francis Scott Key 1814

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

We have been ripping and running since we got here. I'm tired but there is absolutely no reason to stop!
This has been the best vacation I've had in a looong time. We've gone shopping, gotten massages, seen shows, been up and down the strip, and tonight we are going to club it up St. Patty's Day style in Vegas!
Pictures to come soon.

Those that criticize Obama with being inexperienced have yet to realized that the President does not have absolute authority. There is a Senate, a House, and a Presidential cabinet. I believe that these sections of the government was act as a balance to policies and ideas put forth by the president elect.....I mean if they haven't seen what failure to do so can lead to they need to look at the past 8 years.
I for one am excited to have a young(er) president because over the past few years I have learn that young people have a uncanny ability to recognize that change has to occur. While I do not agree with every aspect of Obama and his campaign I do realize that his campaign was based on people working together within the confines of their own FREEDOM to seek out a better America. Yes he has a moral and ethical agenda that he would like to apply to the America people but he was not out to force it on us through laws and policies. The only mar that thus election carried was that people still continue to discriminate against those that are different whether it be race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that create difference and diversity.
This election goes down in the history books of not just America but the world. The world watched and held it's breath to see if the America people would realize that not everyone has the right to vote, to chose not only who they follow but also who the allowed to lead them.
I am and have always been anti the Bush administration for one basic reason: If the man elected President could not take the time to learn how to deliver a speech with out nervousness or stuttering how could he possibly take the time to learn how to lead his country into prosperity? How could not speak his words with conviction and believe that his country would follow? I believe that the people draw from the strength of its leader in good times and bad times but what happens when the the strength is not there?
It has been a rough 8 years for those not financially able to insulate themselves. We also know that it will take time to undo all the damage that has been done. It is not possible to immediately fix everything that has gone wrong. But I have something that I didn't have 4 years ago. Hope.
I apologize for my political soap box rant but I had to get it off my chest.....I have a religious soap box rant that is brewing but that is for another day.
NO PROP 8. I refuse to believe that God rules based upon hatred, intolerance, and discrimination. That just does not make sense to me.
My mama always told me that I could grow up to be whatever I wanted to be and on November 5, 2008 I believed her.

I have been craving sushi like no other. I've had it like 3 times in 3 days. somebody stop me!
yoyo cafe is one of the best sushi places in silver spring. their Chinese food is crap but their sushi is amazing.
the bank (bad) news is someone hacked my paypal account and stole a crap load of money from me. I've been fighting Bank of America and PayPal to get this money back but they don't make it easy. It was really easy for someone to steal money from me but it's hard as hell for me to get it back. bah! I am switching banks when I start my new job. I have had enough!
