dennis' mom died today. mom called me at school as she was racing home from work to go meet him at the house and drive to the hospital to see her. previous to this she'd had a heart attack and i think a minor stroke and one larger stroke. this morning the doctors say she had a "massive" stroke and they didn't get to the hospital in time to see her. dennis is really... not okay. he went to see her pretty much every week, and saw her last wednesday (thankfully). i'm sad i didn't meet her sooner... before her mind started going. i know their whole family is crushed. they expected this so many times before and it never actually happened. surreal.

i want to go home and just hug everyone.

she hated getting her picture taken, but i got some really good ones of dennis dancing with her at the wedding. i need to print them out or something.

<3RIP Curly.

This is definitely my most stressful summer. Ever. Like, seriously.

Andrew and I have finally begun to get the hang of this fucking job... after more than a month. It takes all of my effort simply to keep my hatred for the Connecticut Post under control on a daily basis. I try not to complain about it as much as I want to, but I've never been good at pretending I feel differently than I do. I need the money and jobs are way too scarce, or I'd quit in a heartbeat, no lie.

Also, it has definitely taken a toll on my car, a Kia from 2000... which pretty much speaks for itself. I can't even count all the repairs it has needed, and yesterday my fucking alternator went too, when Andrew and I were in Wilton. We got a ride from the man giving us a tow, luckily, and now I'm driving Andrew's stepfather's Volvo BoatMobile. I'm extremely grateful that he'd let some random 19 year old drive his car but, fuck. I miss my car, however much trouble it gives me, simply because it's mine. I miss all my CDs and crap taped to my visors. I'm probably getting it back tomorrow and I really hope it stops falling apart for a while.

Everything is really great, though. I've never been so happy, which is probably why I never write anymore. I've got all these grand plans for the future which I can't wait to make happen -- it's ridiculous. Once I get a steady job I intend to kick the tin can I currently drive around in and save up for a new car, one that I'll hopefully be able to pay for (mostly) on my own. I want to start working on applications for a few schools really early this year, too. Two years at a community college is enough and I am so ready to have a genetics lab class. You have no idea.

Also, I have a bitchin' tan, which is so weird.

(and i can't stop listening to lady gaga. i'd ride her fucking disco stick, wth).

The warm weather is coming back and I am EXCITED. My stats class was canceled this afternoon, so I got to leave early and it was beautiful. I cleaned out my gross car and took Moe for a walk. I am really loving driving with the windows down and not scraping my windshield every morning. God, I'm excited for summer.

A girl in my micro class did me a major favor and may hopefully be helping me get a job. It will be as a waitress, which will be a lovely thing considering my obnoxious lack of grace.

I am having trouble motivating myself to do schoolwork right now. With some serious help from Andrew and Seth, I made a Facebook instead.

If I didn't have tomorrow off, I'd be fucked. I haven't gotten anything done tonight!

I am so miserable. Getting 3rd molars out... NOT FUN.

I was prescribed acetaminophen + codeine... which isn't doing a goddamn thing. I've taken two pills, and yeah, I'm still awake and my gums are still on fire.

Andrew is trying to help, but I can't sleep, my lips are still numb, and I'm in ridiculous amounts of pain.

HALP.

3. Is there anything keeping you from graduating high school/college? No.

4. Do you know anyone that owns a magic bullet? We do! We also have a Showtime Rotisserie and those knives that can CUT THROUGH A BOOT (they totally can't). I'm waiting anxiously for my Dad to see the Sham-Wow infomercial. But yeah, the Magic Bullet actually works pretty well. It's just a tiny blender.

5. Do you have friends from xanga/myspace/etc that you talk to on the phone? All of my LJ friends are people I actually know.

15. Don't you miss the Disney movies they'd show back when we were younger? No, but I used to love them.

19. Do you own a lot of perfumes/body sprays? Two perfumes. I hate body sprays.

Dear "1 to 3 inches of snow expected",

Fuck you. Do not happen. If class is canceled tomorrow, I will fuck a bitch up. Taking a final on the 22nd of December is not something I aspire to do.

Thanks.

I WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU SO BADLY.

what the hell?!

ashes__fall @ 2008-11-28T14:10:00

2008-11-28T19:10:04Z

Thanksgiving started off... kind-of horribly!

The night beforehand I'd gotten Jen from Stratford & brought her to Wolcott (we always have Thanksgiving dinner with Dennis' family), so Dad was the only person in the Stratford house that night. He generally passes out in the addition with the TV/surround sound on, which I guess is what he did.

So he totally didn't notice when somebody came up to the house, grabbed two huge rocks, and tossed them through 1) our front door(s) and 2) a window. Our house is a bit weird -- the front door goes into the office, which was an addition. So, the windows in the office line up with some windows in the living room. The rock that went through the window shattered the office window, the living room window, and smashed into an antique wooden chest. The one that went through the doors shattered the huge panes of glass and landed on the couch in the living room.

The dog wasn't in there (thank god) and the cat didn't get out, and nobody happened to be in the front room, thankfully. The police were called and everything, but... ugh. People are so ridiculous!

THANKSGIVING, ASIDE FROM VANDALISM was pretty great. Same old: ate dinner early (sans turkey D:), took a walk around the block and successfully avoided catching the football once, got back and ate the most fabulous cookies that ever existed. Dennis' family is great and it still surprises me how quickly we actually became family, too.

On the way to Dad's, Dennis got a bit upset because Dad wasn't home and couldn't sign the papers necessary for me to get my car. My new car does not have a CD player and this upsets me. But, yeah, come Monday I'll have my own car! That's good. I will actually miss the Explorer, though, despite the fact that I can't park it.

ashes__fall @ 2008-11-20T08:22:00

2008-11-20T13:22:19Z

It's 8:12 in the morning. I have a psychology quiz today, which means I'll be out of class remarkably early (with an hour or so to sit aimlessly in my car -- fun). I'm wearing Dennis' giant fleece hoodie because I can't be bothered to find real clothes. That is definitely not the norm for me, these days. I'm getting sick very slowly, though, and every day it's harder for me to wake up and find the willpower to care. It needs to go away soon. It's already been about a week... maybe it won't get any worse than this.

I'm going to Stratford directly after class ends. I may leave a bit early, as to avoid the ridiculous amounts of traffic occuring every day around 2:30. I am glad that I'll only be on 84 for about half a second, though. Yesterday, I was surrounded by fucking HUGE trucks. One coming up to the side, one in front, one behind. I wanted to cry.

I have decided that it is the morning to utilize my random Dunkin Donuts giftcard, though. If they don't still have pumpkin muffins, I will be super depressed.

Yeah, I'm just procrastinating having to leave.

2008-10-10T19:53:54Z

So... my Amazon account just got hacked. My primary e-mail address also, which means I couldn't access the e-mails Amazon was sending me.

Just now I got back into my e-mail after Andrew pretending to be my Dad on the phone, and apparently someone tried to use my Dad's AMEX to purchase... something, I don't even know, from Amazon. They sent me an e-mail on the eighth (the first day I got blocked from logging onto my e-mail) saying they froze the account and canceled the order.

But seriously, how fucking scary is that? Andrew did like everything and saved me because I was freaking out, so I have my e-mail account back, and when Amazon calls me in 24-48 hours, I'm going to tell them to just purge the damn account. I don't even want to bank online anymore.

I need some heavy duty protection now. I'M SO NERVOUS.

Sooo, uhm, anyone know of anybody who'd want Okkervil River tickets for October 6th at Webster Hall?

There's no way for me to get there, as depressing as that is, and I don't want the tickets to just sit around.

ashes__fall @ 2008-09-26T09:50:00

2008-09-26T13:50:56Z

I don't like waking up in the morning and reading about all these bank failures.

It freaks me the fuck out.

What was the last thing that left you very angry?
Jen and her ridiculousness.

Have you heard a song that reminds you of anyone today?
Quite a few!

Do you listen to love songs when you’re down?
Maybe?

Who is your last call from?
Kohl's.

Do you say sorry first?
If it's warranted. I don't say it just for a kick.

Who were you with last night?
Andrew, Mom, and Dennis.

Do you want to tell someone how you feel?
Nah. I'm pretty open these days. More so than I used to be, anyway.

Would your parents be mad if you were in a relationship?
I am. They're not.

What's irritating you right now?
Nothing.

What are you doing now?
This.

Are you tan?
My arms and chest are! The rest of me, no. I wear foundation with an SPF and don't intentionally tan (though apparently 10 minutes in the sun noticeably changes the color of my skin), sooo... I look like a patchwork quilt. D:

What were you up to at 11pm last night?
Either just about to fall asleep or actually sleeping.

What happened at 10:00 am today?
I was in Psychology, dying to leave.

Does anyone call you boo?
No.

Would you get married if you could right now?
No.

Are you in a good mood?
Mostly, yeah.

If someone were to tell you they like you right now, would you care?
Not really. I'm in a happy relationship right now.

Do you get 8 hours of sleep every day?
No.

Are you a forgiving person?
Generally.

Do you believe what goes around comes around?
Meh. It would definitely be nice.

Who was the last person you ate with?
Andrew, Mom, and Dennis.

When was the last time you saw your dad?
Sunday.

Are you mad about anything?
No.

Do you miss anyone?
Mildly.

Do you have any bruises?
There's rarely a time when I don't. I'm clumsy and I bruise rather easily.

Do you sing in the shower?
I'm not discriminatory as to where I'll sing.

What was the last thing you did?
I'm currently watching House & checking out schools I want to transfer to in the fall.

Do you drink more water or juice?
Water

Are you the same person as you were at the beginning of 2008?
Essentially.

Sooo, I think I pretty much got the job at Kohl's, assuming they call back. I got the call in Psychology today, but my phone was on silent. When I called back, I was told to wait for another call. Frustrating.

Tomorrow it's back to Stratford after class because I've got my driving test on Thursday. It's pretty much necessary that I pass. Needless to say, I'm disturbingly nervous. Honestly, I don't think I'm ready for it. I'm great on the road, but parking? Ugh. I suck, honestly.

There's like nothing wrong with Jason Mraz. I don't know why I haven't been listening to him for years.

I'm in Stratford, but it's still too early. Andrew won't be here until seven and I'm excruciatingly bored. I could, absolutely, be doing my math homework. I would really rather not. Simply because I am not good at math (ever), it's the only class I really have to pay attention to. My Human Bio class upsets me the most. Anatomy & Physiology 1 was filled so I went with my next best option, but this class... it's depressing how easy it is. I've already learned all this stuff twice and it's pretty much my passion. I'd have no problem memorizing the carpal bones. Hit me up. No dissections, either. Bah!

I had an opthamologist appointment today and... ugh. My pupils are still dilated to the point where you can barely tell I have an iris, even though my appointment was at 1:40. However, the DMV was like, "sorry monocular vision fill out my sheets," so before I get my license, I had to get a bunch of stuff tested. Thankfully, I am 20/20 with a peripheral of 160 degrees... pretty good! No glaucoma either. Now I just have to pass the actual driving test next Thursday and we're all good. If I don't, I'll be busing to and from school from now on, which I do not want to do in downtown Waterbury. Or anywhere, tbh.

The Kohl's interview went really well, too. Unfortunately for me, they do group interviews, but out of the ten people in my group, only one other boy and myself passed that round. I have the drug testing sheet and everything, so I guess we'll see how it goes. I need a job desperately, so I hope they call soon, despite the fact that if I get it my hours will be ridiculous since the store is just opening. I just need money, oh my god. $15 in my checking account is... no fun.

It's weird being here now. My room is so damn barren.

I have zero luck when it comes to computers, oh my god.

r u srs Nicole Fedak?

That was ridic. And really fun.

Last night here before I move. Andrew and I spent the day walking Shadow and making cookies and the like, and then went out with Katie & Seth where we inexplicably got flipped off. High or drunk y/n.

My omg-moving breakdowns have pretty much subsided. I'm packed except for my clothes & all the things I'm using tonight and tomorrow morning before leaving. School starts on Tuesday, and holy shit am I nervous. I don't care what kind of college it is, the anxiety parade is definitely in full swing.

And it's 2:16am. I think it might be time to go to bed.

AND GUYS POWER RANGERS HAS A HAMPSTER NOW.
