Since when did I turn into that girl who doesn't get over things?

I feel like such a hypocrite, and for once, there is really nothing I can do about it... I've tried.

I'm conflicted about everything right now.  The semester.  People.  Emotions.  Priorities.

Oh well.

Help?

Everything is better in the Outer Banks. Everything.

I'm visiting Sarah and her puppies soon. I love dogs. And Sarah. :)

Street pow wow at a party? Bad idea. Common sense isn't our strong suite. Sorry drumline! lol

We should go to McDonalds after every meeting. Good idea.

U-Band doesn't start for a week! God loves me. :)

Family dinner at Chipotle after buying books is wonderful.

I'm buying plane tickets to go visit Amy (&Cuddles&Steph) in Boston - YAY!

I have no clue who I will vote for in the November election. As of right now, it's neither candidate. But I don't want to be that jackass that doesn't vote, either. Lame.

In other news, I miss College Park so much right now, it's insane. I don't necessarily want to go and visit all the time, 'cause then I'll just feel old and out of place. But I wish I could relive senior year just one more time. I would take both the good moments and the bad ones. *tear*

I need to find a paying job ASAP...because I WILL have these. There is no other option. I have been looking for a pair of boots like this for at least a year now. And I am going to have them in my possession as soon as I have the money!

I like my haircut right now, but I am debating whether or not to grow out my hair...I might want to keep it short for the winter, but that means blowdrying it every day :-\ Being bald would be so much easier...

Over and out.

Busy doesn't even begin describe what life will be like once classes actually get rolling for me, but while I have the time, I'm going to insert a before/after LJ.

Before the summer, the addition on our house was supposed to have been finished. It was not.
Now, they've finally broken down the walls between the new room and the rest of the house. It looks pretty good, even though it still looks like a construction site.
Before the summer, I wasn't sure what to expect from being around my sister all the time, other than the occasional explosion of absolute chaos.
Now, I would say I was fairly accurate in my expectations of the summer, as far as my sister is concerned. We had some really really good times, intense discussions, and some of the worst fights ever.
Before the summer, I thought I would get myself together and start practicing and doing a lot of work that I wasn't able to do in SP08.
I completely ditched practicing. I didn't read as much as I thought I would, but I did read some good stuff. Being on a schedule with my sister kind of left little time to do much else but sleep and drive her around.
When the summer started, I want to say that my car was at around 73 or 74,000. It's now reaching the 79,000 mark.
I tried to make a mix tape every week for the 3 hours of driving every day. I made 7, plus the mash-up one. 50%, I guess.

I went home yesterday, and it is WEIRD with just my parents there. I can see that it's been really strange/hard for them too. I feel badly, but to be honest neither my sister nor I saw them all that often during the summer anyways. I think they're visiting the 5612 this week. That means I need to actually move in.

Before long, I'm sure I'll have some ridiculous story to share. I've already managed to oversleep.

Dear Amber, I miss not having all the same classes as you, even though I only showed up half the time to everything :(

Hello, Fall08. Pleased to meet you, don't make me go crazy. Kthanksbye.

I have zero tolerance for bullshit, and that can all be credited to my sister this summer.
I miss summer. I can't even explain to anyone how different school and work are, and at the same time, how similar they are too.
I love being back at school and living with 5612...and 623.
Marching Band is going to kick my ass this semester. I'm as ready as I can possibly be for fall, but I have absolutely no idea what to expect.

I love everyone.
But do not cross me.
I will cut you.

Dear Summer 08,

I will not miss you.  Not a little bit, not at all.  You were supposed to be great, and you did indeed bring some good times, but overall, you were awful.  Downright, utterly awful.  I'll give it to you though, you certainly went out with a bang... a bang that left me at the bottom of a canyon covered in a pile of boulders.  These last three weeks, man, you really did bring it in a bad way.

No love,
Amber



Dear Fall 08,

Please rectify the atrocity that was Summer 08.  Please don't suck.  Please help me get back to the place I was in Spring 08 in terms of happiness and satisfaction.  You start tomorrow.  I expect big things out of you.

Love,
Amber

Hand out the window
Floating on air
Just a flip of the wrist
And I'm waving you goodbye

The speaker in this door is blown
So nothing sounds quite right
Taking my time, taking this drive
Waving this town, goodbye

And I will leave under the cover
Of summer's kiss upon the sky
Like the stone face of your lover
Just before she says goodbye

And I was certain that the season 
Could be held between my arms
But just as summer's hold is fleeting 
I was here but now I'm gone
So long, so long
(interlude of da da dum...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFREY NERO! I love ya bro!

On August 31st, 1977, my little baby brother was born. I want to take this opportunity to wish Jeff a very Happy 31st Birthday! And not just due to the fact he's my brother.. But because Jeff Hardy is the most incredible and generous soul that I know. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful sibling who I've been able to share so many of my amazing life experiences with. It's been absolutely fantastic being able to travel together with Jeff on the road-especially since the Smackdown/ECW brands have been on the same schedule regularly. Since day one, we've been friends, partners, and most importantly, brothers!

I'm currently in St. Louis waiting on him to get to the hotel. I wrestled with the Raw group tonight in Peoria, Illinois, and Jeff wrestled with the Smackdown brand in Jonesboro, Arkansas. On the way here tonight, I stopped at a gas station to fuel up. I noticed the store also sold liquor.. so.. I got a small bottle of Jack (Jeff's favorite shot of liquor, for those keeping tabs) to cheers my bro on for making it thru 31 healthy and successful years.

Check this out.. Here's a cool preview from THS of an old school Willow versus Surge (Jeff vs Matt) match from 1997..

Willow vs Surge from 1997

I hope all of you reading this are well and making the most out of everyday! Be well, and until then guys and gals. But.. Ponder this.. A statement truly from the heart overheard today.. Translate if you can..

( Annnd the beach updating continues. :) )


I was a little sad to miss the first game, but it ends up that ESPN covered it today because they had to bump up another game due to Gustav. I was a little sad to miss the first show, but they did it standing in an M, without moving, and without jackets. I think Sarah and mine's jaws hit the floor, rolled down the stairs, and went all the way out the door to the beach when we heard (we received many a text lol). I miss Novak. I look forward to tailgaiting with everyone.

The game plan for tomorrow is to leave the house at 10, hit up Wee Winks for T-shirts and roadtrip necessities, stop by The Point for a nice brunch, and then hit the road. We'll probably be back in CP around 7-8. We'll get Chipotle, pregame, and then head to Honi.

Not a bad way to kick off Fall 08.

Um, not marching this year was one of the best decisions in college. Hands down. I have no idea how people do it for a 5th year, especially during the centennial. Meggers, I have a lot of respect for you for coming back. A lotttt. <333



In other news, the following is a massive update for the past few days. I always forget the order of things and what we do on different days, so I'm keeping track of them here. As such, this might be a fairly dry update for most of you, but feel free to read on.

( Read more... )

Alright so I've been busy as BALLS the past two weeks between working, carting my sister around, moving in, and early week. But now I'm really not tired even though I should be, so I thought I would leave a short update before I pass out.

Last week the Backstreet Boys and Beach Boys came to Wolf Trap. Both were EPIC(as per usual with the Beach Boys). Backstreet Boys was NOT a fun show. 7,000 screaming girls is freaking loud. We had to be bouncers to keep people from starting a riot. Three groups of girls got into a fight about a towel that Nick Carter sweated on, wiped the floor with, and threw out into the audience. Park Police had to come down and break it up and cut the towel in thirds so people wouldn't go ape shit. Several girls passed out, I assume from being swept off their feet by those dream boats on stage. Generally an INTENSE show. We went to Clarissa's to hang out and paint Sterling red the next day. AWESOME times.

Wednesday we had a pot luck in the parking lot after work. It turned out really well for how poorly planned it was. I now know that Jenny doesn't in fact dislike me. We hung out even after the lights shut down. Good times. I think the reason I like work so much is because people there seem to be the only people I know outside of the epic "band bubble." Every once in a while it's nice to talk about random shit that has nothing to do with any name-dropping and so on. I suppose Wolf Trap is it's own bubble too, because we talk about shit that no one else outside of ourselves would understand either. Maybe everything has a bubble. I'm too tired to analyze anything.

Thursday I ran around everywhere.
Friday Early Week started. I regret it a little bit more every day. It's really great to be back though. This year is already 10 times as better as the year I was a new man.
Move-in was a shit show. My room is awful. I got two parking tickets and I got pulled over. Campus PoPo thought I was drunk...or had drugs in the back or something. I was so frustrated. All I did was forget to put my lights all the way on(the parking lights were on).
I love 5612. I can't wait to actually be in the apartment more often than when I sleep/skip a meal.
Everything else has been alright. I've had only minor bite-my-tongue moments in drumline. Brianna got mad at me for refusing to participate in hazing. And the occasional KKY TBS hating hasn't been the most fun to sit through.
I went to work last night for the Regeneration Tour aka an EPIC dance party show. Human League, Flock of Seagulls, Naked Eyes, ABC, and Belinda Carlisle. SUPER AWESOME. My feet were on fire though. At least they kept Maggie and I in the same section(usually they spread people out due to lack of staff because of people going back to school).
I just finished with Hump Day Dance. I'm just glad it's over. Everything went fairly smoothly. And now I have two days to memorize EVERYTHING.

That's all I got for now. I'm out of energy.
2 more days.

For anyone who knows Jasmine, two things:
(prepare to fall out of your chair, off of your seat, and onto the floor with a loud thud)

1. She came to the Early Week intro meeting.
2. She wore letters for an extended period of time.

Ok, for numero uno, she came and I met her outside in the lobby. But she listened to Sparks talk (he gave the classic, 'Your spirituality comes first, then your family, then your academics, and then this band' speech - tis an old favorite of mine. I am not even kidding. It is second only to "Love... is a decision."), she watched video of the Fall 2004 Season (awww freshman year!), and stayed around the band room for like, 45 minutes. For numero dos, they were my (Allie Hagerman's) stepping letters, and she slept in them, *but still*, it was an impressive evening.

Most won't understand the significance of that paragraph. It was basically written for Mary. And Jo. And 2005ers. lol

She got to meet a lot of young ones, including Amber and Meggers and Iain. I introduced Mapter as "Red's Little", and J-Moore was incredibly excited because she got to meet Ashley (rawr bears, very rawr). We hung out and watched Will & Grace until about 4am. The evening was complete with Wingzone, pop-ems, and craptastic magazines.

It was wonderful seeing everyone last night, I forget how much I miss people until they're here. I've emerged from the random, introverted mood of the summer. Alex moved his stuff out of my room, and now I'll be in a good mood whenever I see him lol. I'd say that I'll miss him being around all the time, but I'm sure that he'll still be around all the time anyways. Tomorrow Sarah and I leave with the fam to caravan down to the Outer Banks for a week's stay. Early Week I will not miss, but I'll miss seeing everyone step at Hump Day - I'm sure it will be amazing. For now I need to clean up a bit, pack, and attempt to justify the shopping I just did - good times. :)
