Goodbye Fall semester. Next time I have a fall semester I will be a GRAD student. eek.
And seriously. I've got so many friends that are engaged/married/moms or Dad's...I'm starting to feel old. Even Mr. Nass (whom is one of Jon's buddies btw)is going to be a dad. ahworueorufhtouruoghw! We are on the threshold of the real world.
and of course a story update: 14 completed chapters. 5 or 6 to go. :)

Stories of inspiration
I don't know if it will show up. But I'm putting a plug up here on something else that I think is great. This girl, Shayne Leighton, wrote, co-directed, co-produced, stared and did some of the music for her indie film "The Incubus". (I found it in one of those ads on facebook. At first glance I was like...okay what's going on here. But she had something crazy like a 10,000 budget, and from everything I've seen so far, up there with Twilight quality. (What does THAT say). Anyway the point of this paragraph is not to blast twilight, it's to tell you that Shayne is NINETEEN! Look at what she's accomplished. She was a college kid working on something and her work fell into the right hands. That in my opinion is very inspirational.
It gives me some hope.
Now to just get my work into the right persons hands. :)
You can purchase "The Incubus" and the soundtrack, there are a whole bunch of options, its cheap too!

Fail fail fail.
So I have lots and lots and lots of work.
One of my Lithuanian cousins asked for help with his English class.
Okay, how hard could it be?
it's like....20 pages of stuff that I have to summarize for him.
FAILURE!

8 days. 8 days. I can do this. 8 days.
I'm 21. I should not need to take a nap everyday like a two year old, or an 80 year old. UGH.
In other news. I only have one actual final. But that means I have papers and group projects instead. SHIT. chipping away at it.
Thanksgiving was great. But kinda a tease. It was the eye of the end of the semester storm. haha.
Black friday was not as awful as I thought it was going to be. Jon and I actually got a shit-ton of stuff. We were done and sleeping by 8:30 am.
My concert is tonight. Which thank god, I could use the extra time to work on shit this next week.
I have 12 completed chapters now. 13th in progress. :)

Being in an Acapella group has changed how I hear music. I used to only listen to to words...and now I pick up harmonies, bass lines...the like. Even AFI, I can even pick our your bass lines now. I couldn't tell you what notes they are...but I can at least sing it back to you.
Spent most of the day home cooking today. Baked cookies and made appetizers for tomorrow. There are times where I feel like I'm really stereotypical or I'm from the wrong Era. I like to bake and cook. Cleaning doesn't bother me that much. Nor does grocery shopping. I like domestic, nesting like things. Taking car of my dad, my man. I feel a little weird that my list of life aspirations is not very long. Besides being a teacher, and writing books...I just want to get married and have kids. Part of me is like..."Shouldn't I want more?" But I really have just come to the conclusion that I like family, and home and the like. I hate bars, I'm not really a fan of staying out late. A good night for me is with a book or a story home. I make up for the people like my boyfriend who are barely ever home. :)
On a story related note. I'm currently writing the 12th chapter. Yes people the 12th continuous chapter. I think I may have hit a new record. Normally this is when I start skipping around. But I want to try this and see if it works better. Which brings me to my next point. I feel like I talk about this story at least once a week and no one has a clue what it's about. I guess I'm just very protective of this one. Seriously. My brother is the only person who's read it. and like the first six pages or whatever I sent him in a letter. I guess it's also the fact that the beginning doesn't have much zombie stuff...and I don't know if I started it anywhere else if it would make sense. That, and if anyone cares...haha. eh. We'll see.
As for my Book-A-Week Challenge....I had four papers and two exams last week. so...there. So far it's pretty awesome...Although so far only Hedwig and Mad Eye have died...I guess the carnage comes later. lol (I'm half way through)
Things with Dan seem to be looking up. Here's hoping :)
Happy Thanksgiving :)

January 30th, 2008 (10:39 am)

I really wish i had time to write. I have so many ideas. :(
I love how nothing has changed when it comes to that.

I really wish that I didn't have to work today.
So lately, I've trying to make a better attempt to understanding/learning Lithuania. And although it probably sounds funny, I've been taking what my teenage and older cousins say on facebook and putting it into google translate, and being like...Oh I knew that word.
For example I learned:
Kas Geras (which I had heard both desperately) means: What's Good?
Darba= Work.
slow progress...baby steps.
In other news. I saw Miss. Carolyn friday night. And although it kinda turned into the "roast of blank blankety" (which I kinda knew it would) we talked about how Tamile is getting married and we were invited to her wedding! As well as what the next several years are to bring. It was nice. It's really nice to know that I have friends that I can go months without seeing and it's like nothing changes.
And of course, this wouldn't be an entry if I didn't talk about TZN. I have 9 typed chapters, as well as one handwritten one that needs to go on the computer. Jon has been very helpful when it comes to me telling him what I want to do and him either being like "Oh cool." or "EW that's really dumb, I would do this." Maybe the Book should be called "The Zombie Novellas" By Kelly Robideau w/ Jonathan Beyus. hahah or not.:)
I really need to just suck it up and put part of it up here. I guess I feel so excited and different about this one that I don't want someone to burst my happy bubble if they think it is boring/sucks. One thing that I will say is, I love the fact that I'm writing it from 4 different perspectives. So you get each different personality. Like I just finished writing two chapters as Kasia (the main character)and now I'm writing a chapter as Patrick who once seemed like a pervert but I actually love him now!!! Because he is the conflict and the drama that prolongs (spoiler alert) Kasia and Sam getting together. Its been really fun to write his frustration and all that. Chapter 11 should be fun...heehee :D
Pretty much, I've written lots of stories before...but never has one brought me as much joy as this one. Which is kind of funny because it's not exactly a happy one. But it's something I look forward to doing. Much more than work, more than school, more than ACAbellas even. I know shocker. I feel like there was a time were playing music (perhaps in high school) made me feel happy. But not like this. Maybe this was how it should have been all along. :)
Lets find out...

A challenge for Myself
So I'm an English Major. I read ALOT for school. I also take pride in the fact that I've been writing stories for about as long as I have been able to hold a pencil. But I can honestly tell you that in the past, I never really used to read for pleasure. I feel like I'm cheating myself as both a writer and just a human being by not doing that. So I went to B&N Two weeks ago and bought two books. This was of course after it took me 3 months to read "World War Z" by Max Brooks. (Ironically which is the "zombie" genre) but so far I've read 2 books in 2 weeks. So I'm planning on pushing myself to have a...
BOOK-A-WEEK-CHALLENGE!
I don't want to buy any new books until after Christmas, so with that being said, I'm going to read ones that I haven't had time for...or reread some that were good. and grade them. haha. In light of the fact that Harry Potter is coming out next week, I think that the seventh book may be the 11/12-11/19 book of the week. :)
"World War Z"- B+ I liked how it was set up like an interveiw, but it was dry in some places.
"A Great and Terrible Beauty" - A! Very disappointed that I'm making myself wait until Christmas to read the sequel.
"Evermore" B-/C+ - it saved itself at the end...but up until Damen tells Ever the truth, I was like...Twilight, twilight, Twilight...which lets face it...we don't need more than one of.
Haha, that was kinda fun.
Story upadate: Patrick is becoming likable? It's like this character is fighting for his place in this book. afoweurouwriuoiwde!

You know...things...
I now have 9 completed chapters. Although only 6 of them are on the computer. That may change at some point soon. But you know, with Bellas and homework and SLEEP. We will see how that goes. I'm about to hit the point that I usually get to- the one where I know how I want to get somewhere, but stuck as to how to do it. But I'm hoping with deadlines and outlines I will be able to push through and for once in my life have a completed first draft that I can tear apart!
Going along the lines of Zombie excellency...AMC recently started a new show "The Walking Dead" Which of course is on sunday nights, when I've already had work and rehersal. BUT, none the less. The characters are pretty wholesome with out the glitz and martial arts of Milla Jovovich. (Though I love her and her movies very much). It pretty much shows what the world would really be like, if such an even occured.

In other news...I registered for my last full semester of school's classes today! WOO! and I got Jon his birthday present today! and speaking of Jon...MIA. haha? I'm like 99.9 sure he's passed out since he worked the butt-crack-o-dawn shift.

My head hurts.
You know what is an excellent feeling? Filling up a notebook with a story and needing a new one. :)
You know what is not a good feeling? A migraine. Gross.

Watch out...or you'll end up in my novel...
So I'm trying to keep my story interesting and personable. That being said, I ended up writing a scene about my characters and their experiences with relationships...and Kasia's story might sound similar to a story I have that involves a certain post college aged boy that some of us might know. I might put it up here later...
anyway...I know that it was sometime ago, and that a lot of it was my own doing, for not acting,making a choice, things like that. But I was really surprised by how painful it sounded as my character told it from her point of view. The fact that this person played with my head, and wanted me around when there was no better option apparently cut me a little deeper than I thought. And apparently writing about it made it slightly better? I'm sure this all sounds like craziness to like everyone but like...Jes. lol
(She just woke up from a nightmare, that her crush/first time Tony shot her, remember they live in a apocalyptic world)
"That son of a bitch better be a corpse." I said.
"Tony again, eh?" Sam Asked.
"Who else?" I grumbled, hopping up to sit next to him on the trunk.
and that's all you get for now...maybe I will put some better bits up. :)

At least I tried...
So I guess I'm giving up on the blog challenge. Boo. I just seems like even if I were to do like 5 of them at once I would be behind. Its getting to be that point in the semester where everything is getting crazy. That and...I've started reading like a fiend. It's like becoming an addiction. And it's all the sci fi fantasy genre. I'm channeling my inner Carolyn. (Whom I miss)Like even with reading for school. I've read almost two books in a week.
I've also been writing. And I've got 8 chapters. around 60 something pages. Its about Zombies and 5 people are their trials and tribulations of trying to survive and get somewhere safe.
There's Kasia- Who is my heroine (It's almost always a heroine, sorry boys) She was born and raised to be prepared for any sort of disaster situation (Her Grandfather lived during world war II in Poland.) She tough, but has got a softer side.
Sam- Sam is pretty much Jonathan Beyus, that lucky duck. He wanted to be in a story. A laid back guy, very resourceful. His young nephew was infected and caused his whole family to leave, leaving him to catch up with them, which you know...probably won't happen. But the Character Collin reminds him of said nephew so he has a soft spot for him.
Emily- She's a bratty girl from NYC. I can't decide if I want her to be a raging bitch or too be the scared one. She's going to have some interesting character development though, I can tell you that.
Patrick- He's meant to be the bad boy of the group, the "bad seed from the wrong side of the tracks", but right now he's kinda a pervert. He may have to get edited.
Collin (who hasn't actually been written about yet.) Is going to be about 8 or 9. He got seperated from his family. Sam watches after him even though several of the other characters don't want to take the child on.
I like it. Here's hoping I don't lose steam in the middle like my other stories....One of them needs to get finished!

Blog challenge day 8
A place that I've traveled.
Last summer I spent two weeks in Lithuania. My mom is 100% and both her parents lived there. It was an amazing emotional trip. It's hard to believe that it's been over a year since my family went. Another fun fact about that trip is the morning that I left, I went on my first date with Jon. haha. He was very persistant, I wanted to get together after I got back.
Although Lithuania was full of crazy food and a relationship that I didn't understand very well. But I hope that in a few years that I can go back. They are my family and I'm looking forward to learning the language better and all that fun stuff. My great aunt told me to bring my babies next time. I'm thinking that's probably not going to be the case next trip.

I think this one is pretty much self explanitory. Most people don't see this side of him. But I'm lucky enough that I get to. :)
Someday, when I have my own place, I'm gonna have one! eeeek!

Day 5
Write about your siblings:
I have one younger brother, David Jr, who is 18 years old. When we were younger we were pretty close. We went through an "You're obnoxious, I'm gonna punch you" phase and now we're close again. Everyone claims that the navy turns someone into a different person and I used to dread that thought. Thinking that he was going to come back as some beefy drone. but its' quite the opposite. He's polished, carries himself in a better way and he's just...polite.(crazy I know) but bottom line, he's the same David and I hate that he lives so far away. A weekend was not enough.
I have a sort of "sister" by choice. Hell everyone thought we were sisters this past weekend anyhow. My brother's girlfriend Nikki has been a big part of our lives and even more so during his time away. She is easy to be around and not only did we have a blast this past weekend, but I also work with her too. Oh Big Y, you flow in my veins so many ways. Here's hoping she sticks around. :)
October 18, 2010
Day 4
Write about your Parents:
My parents story is pretty cool. They met when my mom was 15 and dad was 19. My mother was actually living with my father's sister when they met. (Its a long long story) Eventually my dad told her she was pretty and all that Jazz and they started to date. At first (and this is why I find my relationship with Jon so ironic) everyone hated my dad and didn't want to give him a chance because he was so much older than my mom. But eventually they warmed up. My parents dated for FIVE years before my mom was like..."what are we doing here." That's right, she gave my dad the cliche' ultimatum. So they were 20 and 24 when they got married. They lived in a bunch of renters and eventually they moved into the house by Walmart where I used to live. My parents actually waited SEVEN years before they had me. It's pretty amazing to think that I cold be alot older than I am. Three years later my brother came into the world and shortly after we moved to where we live now. The rest is history.
For the most part my parents are awesome. We don't fight often and I would say that I'm pretty close to them. Sometimes I wish they would just give me a little more space and independence. You know, If I wanna live with Jon it wouldn't be a federal case. Oh well. You love em no matter what.

Day 3
Write about your first love....
As I said in the past, I've had three other relationships before this current one. The first two were in highschool. Obviously nothing like that counts. Rich however is a different matter.
He treated me perfectly amazing, We were together for almost two years. I'm not really sure how to describe it. I thought I loved him, I really did. But it got to the point that When I thought of being with him forever, I couldnt handle it. Ultimately, we were different people who needed different things and it was a long time coming.
I know that it's probably uber cheesy to say that Jon is my first love. But I really think he is. I can't even explain the differences sometimes. All I know is that it never hurt to leave Rich, even if it was going to be something dumb like 24 hours. I hate it. I feel like I never get my Jon fix. I feel like Jon is confident, and he drops his guard so I can see his "true colors" Even if he thinks he's ugly or hairy or whatever. I don't think that, We are confident because of each other. I know he's my 4th boyfriend but I feel like there have been alot of firsts. First guy I talked to seriously about the future, first vacation, etc etc etc.
Jon's also the only guy that liked me back as much as I liked them. and besides the mega crush I had on James...haha back in the day. Jon's The only guy I was crushing hard on. the other three liked me first.
I feel like this is the way it's going to be. and I'm excited for the future.
As I said in the past, I've had three other relationships before this current one. The first two were in highschool. Obviously nothing like that counts. Rich however is a different matter.
He treated me perfectly amazing, We were together for almost two years. I'm not really sure how to describe it. I thought I loved him, I really did. But it got to the point that When I thought of being with him forever, I couldnt handle it. Ultimately, we were different people who needed different things and it was a long time coming.

Day 2
Blog Meaning:
It's based on the Regina Spektor Song, On The Radio.
This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the Styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again
On the radio
We heard, 'November Rain'
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Case the DJ was asleep
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again
And on the radio
You hear, 'November Rain'
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio, on the radio
On the radio, uh oh, on the radio, uh oh
On the radio, uh oh, on the radio
We sang it in Bellas...and I also just think it applies to life.

30 day Blog Challenge...1
Copying Jes, because this seems fun and I'm the queen of procrastination.
Day 1: Introduce, Recent photo, and 15 Interesting Facts
Okay obviously I'm Kelly. I'm 21 and I'm a senior at CCSU. I used to be a Music Major but now I'm an English major. Either way I want to get the hell out of here. The plan is with winter and summer classes I will be walking in May. Most people are off and doing their own thing at this point, but I might be moving home again for grad school. You know cheaper and what not. My younger brother is in the Navy, I just visited him this past weekend. I bet you would be surprised if you talked to him. He's the same David, only better.:) I've been with my boyfriend Jon for a little over a year now. I've had boyfriends in the past, but this relationship is like nothing I've ever known. I'm looking forward to how things are going to turn out. :D
I like to write, cook, watch the office, and be with Jon. Knitting is pretty cool also.
15 facts in no particular order
15:I have Rugrats on my instant queue on Netflix. I watch it ever like everday.
14.Jon and I were in a training video for work. Everyone at every big Y watches it. AHH. Even the ones far away.
13. I'm left handed.
12. I really wish I had a Beagle. Maybe once Jon and I get a place.
11. I'm afraid of passing big trucks on the highway. Like phobia.
10.I'm half Lithuanian and if you know me, like I'm sure you do, I'm friggin proud of it.
9. While he was at Basic Training, I sent my brother part of my newest story. He let other people read it and they liked it. Scary yes, but Inspiring....sure.
8. I dont like mayo, or barbeque sauce apparently
7. I really like Zombie movies, and video games. Hence THE ZOMBIE NOVELLAS being born.
6. I don't like bars, because not only to creeps hang out there, but I can't hear and it sucks.
5.I danced for nine years and change.
4.I love naps, I'm like a little kid.
3.I've been knitting a legit sweater for a while. Just like reading for pleasure, school comes first.
2. I plan way too far into the future. I know alot of things I want at my wedding, the car I'm going to get once I have a full time job, my future pet names, and my future first born son and daughter's names too.
1.Music captivates me. I love listing to it, arranging it, performing it.

Well That Was Easy...
Haha. So here's something I want to share.
I applied to St. Joe's. They have a really excellent program long story short it was the only application I was able to completely finish. Anywho I got a manilla envelope back from them. You know, telling me what I still needed to give them and what not. And also, health forms, and vehicle registration, and a school identification form, emergency contancts, a form with my student ID on it. Not my CCSU student ID.
I know it's been four years since I've applied to colleges but did I just get accepted into Grad school? haha if so....sweet.

Its day three and my schedule has chnaged too many times.
God i hope this last change is it.
I changed my major
I dropped african american lit because the teacher got a 1.4
I added child psycology. I was so excited!
It doesn't count towards an english degree. merh
I dropped it for intermediate comp. Earlier, boring, but it counts as my communication requirement.
Lets pray that's it. I can't handle much more of this. I can't wait for next semester when I can pick my classes and this is not an issue!
Ps. I want a Kindle!you know those e book things. I've been reading alot lately.
I changed my major
I dropped african american lit because the teacher got a 1.4
I added child psycology. I was so excited!
It doesn't count towards an english degree. merh
I dropped it for intermediate comp. Earlier, boring, but it counts as my communication requirement.
Lets pray that's it. I can't handle much more of this. I can't wait for next semester when I can pick my classes and this is not an issue!

My life as an English Major....
Hey, Its been a while, I'm quite aware...This summer has been nothing short of eventful.
So yah, if you haven't figured out by talking to me, or reading a entry or two earlier. I've changed my major to English. I'm currently taking a summer class and I will be walking in MAY! YAY Its been a hard transition...I can no longer be in MENC, and I also had to give up my small, but still helpful scholarship too. oh well. When those guys are finishing their undergrad I will have my masters....so it's okay.
In other news, My cousin Ashley...who is two years older than myself, is married and has a husband! Their wedding was beautiful! I'm pretty sure everyone in the wedding party cried, even her brothers. The limo ride to The Villa Rosa was crazy and the reception was awesome. They went on a cruise for their honeymoon. Lucky!
Their wedding and the fact that my aunt and uncle of lithuanian-ness where staying at out house were why I didn't go to camp. and I now know that I will never be doing that again. I worked on everyday they went and did something fun with the rest of my mothers side and work....sucked. It has sucked lately. I'm looking forward to one more year of it. I'm thinking I may substitute teach. I know seems much worse....but its more money than big y....and I need the experience. long story short. Not missing camp again.
hmmm what else can I talk about? how about my new place? visitor parking? regular parking? A fan in the bathroom? An AIR CONDITIONER? More Space? and its so quiet. I don't hear anymore loud music from cars at all hours. its paradise.
Jon is great. I went to the Casino with him and his mom yesterday. It was fun! I can see how people can have gambling addictions. You are like....oh one more pull on the slot machine...you hope that next one is the big one. It was fun though and I only lost 14 dollars. Not too shabby I think. :) I'm going away to the beach for a long weekend next weekend. I can't wait. Quality boyfriend time. No parentals, siblings or roomies. :)
so that's that!

This blog is for my own personal benefit these days.
This is the inpiriration for my Rynor (AKA love interest in story) <3 <3 <3
June 13, 2010
Okay, okay...I know it's time for an update
Yes, I must admit to you that a lot has happen since my birthday....and there were several times that I sat here with this screen open, not sure how to word the things that were swirling in my head....but Its time to get it all out.
So Disney in a nut shell: It was Disney world, it was warm and full of cute little kids and it was fun...but a word of advice. Make sure that you truly know someone before you travel with them. Carolyn and I were okay, but Carolyn and other travel companion....not so much. I can't believe I paid tons of money to have to deal with fights and crazy behavior. Oh well, it's all behind us now and I still am happy that I went. However, I also think that Disney world is more magical when you have a small child with you there. When I have kids, I can't wait to go back. So yup, that's that. Even in Disney, Two's company and Three is a crowd. :(
okay...so onto the next crazy situation in my life. As I'm sure most of you know by now, I've always had trouble with one class as a music major. Aural skills. It took me two tries to get out of the first level, and I had taken my third try in level two during the spring semester. I took voice lessons, i got up and practiced every day, i did my stupid Macgamut, and I even visualized myself suceeding like Chris tells me to all the time. Well I go to my final and my professor (a different one, than the previous two semesters) asks;
"can we talk off the record?"
"...sure?"
"Do you have a learning disability you didn't tell me about?"
Long story short...My dictations made no sense to him, it was the opposite of what he would play and he was out of ideas. I appreciate the fact that he brought this to my attention, but waiting till the final? Wasn't that a little too late? So I get my grades when they came out a week ago...and I got a D. sure, that's passing, but not enough to go onto the next level. If I had passed the class I would have been at 5.5 years including student teaching....so I was pushed back another semester. The rest of my classes were as and bs and I've passed and completed everything else thus far. This one class is holding me back from the school of education, as well as even just graduating with a degree in general studies of music. I was just...shocked I guess. Like, How much more do I put myself through this? How long do I stay in college? I was out of ideas, and the thought of taking the class for a fourth time made me want to jump off a building.....
....So I changed my major.
SHOCKING I KNOW. I was once a biotch and used to be like "oh people who do that are quitters! I'm never going to change." Well, I've finally been broken down to the point where I couldn't take it anymore. But I want to assure you that I'm okay with it. I switched to a BA in English, and although I will need a summer class this year and next year, and probably a winter session class, I will graduate in the spring! 4 years! Oh my god! I never thought I would ever be out of college in 4 years? I guess alot of my gen ed's worked for both majors and alot of my english electives also worked! I also have a music minor. hahah. That wouldn't be hard after spending 3 years somewhere. I keep on trying to think positively. Sure, I put alot of time into music, but that would have been one position in a school, sometimes even a whole district. Getting my certification and masters in elementary gives me so much more. k-5 has alot more jobs.
I guess it's just a matter of adjusting. There are days where I'm totaly fine and then there was a day that Jon was playing the piano at his house and I cried. I guess it's just an end of an era. And from what I've heard...a failure in life makes you a better person in the long run.
In other news. I love Jon. He's kinda be with me for all of this, and he supports me no matter what my decision is. I just feel lucky. I feel like this whole thing, it's a brush of fate, and this is the direction it's supposed to go in. Hopefully, he'll be my side for the duration.
okay, I guess that is enough for now.

So now my computer not only is slow, has a crappy screen, and doesn't work without being plugged in but it rejects my ipod, won't tell me that i'm connected to the internet and sends me error messages when I try to get onto said internet. Not going on vacation or anything? I'm broke! Can't afford a new computer!!!!

One down...one more to go.
I promise that at some point in the near future...like tomorrow...I will give a real update. :) One sock done...looks better on than just chilling there. My friend Jen actually laughed out loud when I showed her. It's my first sock dammit throw me a bone here! :D
May 5, 2010
Ugly Sock :(
I'm thinking of just calling it the prototype. As I said the needles are too large...and picked way too many stiches...etc etc. It's awkward, but a good learning expeirence, and I'm banking on the other one being better. :)
okay back to work.

I'm not dead yet!
Hello,
long time no post! To be perfectly honest, things have been CRAZY busy. I had concerts and work and etc etc. Long story short, her I am. There is 15 days until I'm done with school 17 days till my 21st birthday and 18 days until I go to Disney World! I can't believe how quickly this trip is coming up. I kinda feel like I should pack now, between school, work, a concert, the sophomore review and my juries. FINALS BAM! I will be like...oh crap. I leave tomorrow. :)
In other news. Things are good. Jon is wonderful today is 9 months since our first date and May 9 will be 8 months of being official. Time flies, and I'm looking forward to the summer.
Really gotten into knitting. Like if you know me, you know that I've always been like yay scarfs or random loom knitted things but this is like a whole new level. Made friends with a girlfriend of one of the DIVISI boys girlfriends and she has opened my world to all kinds of amazing things...I'm currently making a sock. Yah. It's not perfect, the needles I'm using are too big, but I'm excited and if it goes well...I will get some more tools of the trade. I also want to make a sweater. Maybe I'll finish all my other projects first. ha.

Better late than Never...
So I'm alive. Busy and actually working on my story ALOT. like I have 60 something hand written pages...we may have a record. Or pretty close to it next to say....Song Fighters. At least Song Fighters has name, this one is just called "The Trilogy" because I plan on having three books. hahah help and advice greatly appreciated.
Let me give you a basic run down. NO, music is not an underlying theme in anyway, and no, my current love interest is not a character....yet. haha. This idea is actually 5 years old. I've just finally been able to organize its complexity in my head. So pretty much:
Princess.
First daughter born into her family in over a 100 years
Father is so proud of that fact and shields daughter from everything. She finds out about the outside world by accident.
Finds out her life is totally not what she thought it was, her dad is really a tyrant, among other things.
Book one is going from Ages 0 to 15
Book one will end when her older brother comes and tells her to run away with him.
So that is basically all I want to post on this very public blog. granted, Jes and Charles are the only ones that read regularly and I trust them completely. BUT just in case. That is the most general summary of "Trilogy Book 1" I can give on here.
Going on the title of this entry. I'm actually doing well in Aural Skills and I had one of my peers tell me that they think i'm really good outside of class. Better late than never right?
May 18th? You here yet?

Easter, Sunburn and the like...
I had a really good weekend. Okay. Saturday night at worked sucked alot. But beyond that it was a really nice time. The weather was beautiful. I went to Jon's house on friday and I did one of my favorite things. I explored in the brook in this back yard. Climbing on the rocks and junk. He had a show at around 7 so I went home and had family time.
Saturday consisted of sitting out side as well as planning a kick ass bridal shower for my cousin. I'm really looking forward to it. I also feel like by the time I'm engaged and planing a wedding, I will be an expert. :D
Like I said, work was CRAZY. It felt worse than thanksgiving or Christmas. Maybe we were just better prepared for those holidays, because it was 9:00 and the store was still a zoo. I came home and my dad was watching the 10 Commandments. I found it silly.
Easter was alot of fun. I think it might have been to coolest easter to date. I got up and Jon picked me up at around 10. I went to Immaculate Heart with his family and it was very very different than any catholic service I've been too. and they are Roman catholic. There was modern music, instruments, they sung the our father. I also thought it was cool that his family took up an entire pew. two parents. all four kids, husbands, wives, girlfriend(that's me), and one grandchild. A whole pew.
After we had breakfast, and then they had an easter egg hunt. That was mostly for Tyler, but we got to get some too. The eggs had money and candy in them! After that we went to my house. Yay for double family holidays....this relationship is getting serious. LOL.
But yeah, Easter was at my house, and everyone was there minus Stacie, I can't wait till she comes home from ITALY!
I got sunburn today! Maybe that's because whenever I didn't have class, I was at the Welte Flower Pot, working on my story. :)
K I think that's it.

An update
I am in a relationship filled with firsts. I know this sounds peculiar since Jon is not my first boyfriend but in some ways its true. Those of you that have known me forever that I'm really non confrontational. I like to bottle everything up and that is where I get to the point where I'm like "Ugh...this person gets on my nerves...RESENTMENT!" Well Jon is not like that. he doesn't allow me to avoid him when I get frustrated or upset by what he says. He wants to hash it out, get it out and over with. After 20 years of bottling it up, it can be a challenge to do just that, but I'm trying damn hard. it's pretty amazing, these Tiff's or whatever you want to call them, once they are over, everything is back to normal. No one wants to break up and we keep on being happy. he's so different than anyone I've ever been with.
In other fun and exciting news,I got my palm read last weekend! IT was sooooo cool. I know that its all your interpretation of it. But it was so worth and I felt like a lot of things made sense. My tarot cards were really cliche but hey, if my goals becoming achieved, having lots of money, and marring someone devoted to me are in my future. hah. BRING IT.
Another fun fact. DID AMAZING ON MY AURAL SKILLS MIDTERM! yayay! He even told me I did a good job. WOOOT!
Working on an amazing story. Another one that I've been working for a long time.Maybe this is how I'll get lots of money lol. Anywho This is what I'm picturing my main girl looking like. This is that girl that's on that 10 things I hate about you show. My main character has her features. It gives me something to work with.

I love this weather!
I love this weather because it gives me the opportunity to go out and take pictures as well as just enjoy the warm weather. I took these at Jon's house on Friday. The one below is of his dog Willis.
/>I think this one is self explanitory....
I may put the rest up on facebook. :D
In other news, I'm on Spring break! Pretty much working! But its money towards my trip and I plan on doing some fun things on my days off. Tomorrow, is going to be a day trip day with my man...and this coming weekend? UCONN me thinks. :)

Whenever I see people outside walking dogs....
It really makes me want a puppy.
I always say "When I graduate from CCSU, and I live on my own, I'm going to get a puppy!"
but...I'm thinking I should change it to..."When I make it into the professional program, I'm going to get a puppy."
Because that's only in a year. heeheeheheeh.
Hopefully, I will out the house by then...because, that may put a snag in the plan. :)
Just a thought. <3

Oh that's right...I AM Irish...
Doesn't it always seem like all the crap hits the fan at once? I haven't worked in a week and a half and although I'm only out 100 dollars, that's money that I need to thrive. I'm back to normal now, and spring break is next week, but I don't know, I really don't want to dip into my savings account. I have alot saved up...
...sadly it looks as though I'm going to have to. My laptop is on its last leg. I'm actually typing this in the Music Computer Lab. It turns off if it's not plugged in because the battery is shot, its slow, and part of the screen is ruined. I tried to use it at school today and it wouldn't install updates. an hour and 45 minutes of trying to install something for clean access. and nothing ARGH! I got to save for my trip. For my "move out on my own" fund. I really don't want to shell out for a new lap top.
I'm getting pretty desperate though.
I keep on thinking about this time last year. It's a where are they now kinda deal. A previous chapter, an old way of life. I honestly think that the changing of the seasons gets me thinking. Some of the things changed for the better. Other things...well I wish they didn't happen.
You learn from it. I think you learn to love better by it.

Just a small note...
I really don't like SGA. They yell at me. For things I cannot control. Perhaps if you contacted me more frequently...I would make an attempt to keep in touch with you. I am not a physic. haha I know how OBAMA feels. haha. not really. He's got it much worse.
Dropped PSY 112 today. It was liberating. Next semester will be better. Now my GPA will rock. :D
Target Run? I think yes.

Cuz I Love the Way You Say Good Morning...
Okay here's that long entry that I've been promising.
Its been quite a week, hell quite a weekend. Although I cannot work still, I have trouble standing for longer than like 15 minutes, I got so much work done. It's awesome.
So Lets wrap up this "foot" blog. Because this not what the blog was meant for. OKAY. So this week was a little rough. I had to crutch all over and what normally takes a person five or ten minutes, took me 15 to 20. Yuck and it actually took less time to get in my car and drive closer to my next class than to crutch there. Wednesday, my first full day back was intense, I'm pretty sure I cried at least four times. It was just frustrating and hard to get around even with Jon's help. Like I said in my previous entry I would have been lost with out all of his help. He drove me, helped me get in and out of the shower, made me food etc, took me grocery shopping, among many other things. Well, luckily things started feeling better because I was getting really sad. As of friday afternoon, I went to just one crutch and there are times that I wonder if I really need it at all. Like stairs with one crutch....kinda pointless. So we'll see. I bet by mid week I will be walking around by myself! YAY! Thank god it ended up not being anything serious.
In other news, I think I spent....one day of this week with out Jon. He took care of me Monday night till Thursday morning. Then on Friday he picked me up and I was going to see his band Deep Six play at a place in Naugatuck. Sadly, there was some kind of mix up and they double booked. So Jon and company got 200 dollars for sitting there and eating dinner and he and his friend Keith did a short acoustic set when the other guy needed a break. Not too shabby I think. I slept at his house and did lots of homework while he was work. It was amazing! it was so quiet! No crap cars, or yelling people or blasting music. Just the Rain and his father watching tv downstairs...it was heavenly! After that, went with him to a DJ thing, a party for a man we work for and it was a lot of fun. I know this sounds cheesy, but I have fun with him even if its sitting in the corner of an Italian Social Club picking out what songs we're going to play for a persons birthday party. :) Came back to the apartment and was able to stay up a little because I wasn't exhausted from crutching or from being in pain. So yes, I will be broke the next two big Y checks but I had a good weekend.
Speaking of mad bank, haha I got my check for Gilbert finally. WOOT. 300 Washington's. Yay for saving for future things and for my trip to Disney! Now my money from Big Y can go to that and I won't feel bad!
In other, other news...I'm dropping a class. *Gasp* I know I know. I'm not doing well and I have trouble getting to it on time when I'm healthy. So I just figured I would retake it at a better time next semester or maybe even over the summer. Why struggle and fail. I am doing well in my other classes, lets let that boost my GPA.
Okay, I think that's everything. Foot. Jon. hmmmm....money...I think I covered it all.

So Lets wrap up this "foot" blog. Because this not what the blog was meant for. OKAY. So this week was a little rough. I had to crutch all over and what normally takes a person five or ten minutes, took me 15 to 20. Yuck and it actually took less time to get in my car and drive closer to my next class than to crutch there. Wednesday, my first full day back was intense, I'm pretty sure I cried at least four times. It was just frustrating and hard to get around even with Jon's help. Like I said in my previous entry I would have been lost with out all of his help. He drove me, helped me get in and out of the shower, made me food etc, took me grocery shopping, among many other things. Well, luckily things started feeling better because I was getting really sad. As of friday afternoon, I went to just one crutch and there are times that I wonder if I really need it at all. Like stairs with one crutch....kinda pointless. So we'll see. I bet by mid week I will be walking around by myself! YAY! Thank god it ended up not being anything serious.
In other news, I think I spent....one day of this week with out Jon. He took care of me Monday night till Thursday morning. Then on Friday he picked me up and I was going to see his band Deep Six play at a place in Naugatuck. Sadly, there was some kind of mix up and they double booked. So Jon and company got 200 dollars for sitting there and eating dinner and he and his friend Keith did a short acoustic set when the other guy needed a break. Not too shabby I think. I slept at his house and did lots of homework while he was work. It was amazing! it was so quiet! No crap cars, or yelling people or blasting music. Just the Rain and his father watching tv downstairs...it was heavenly! After that, went with him to a DJ thing, a party for a man we work for and it was a lot of fun. I know this sounds cheesy, but I have fun with him even if its sitting in the corner of an Italian Social Club picking out what songs we're going to play for a persons birthday party. :) Came back to the apartment and was able to stay up a little because I wasn't exhausted from crutching or from being in pain. So yes, I will be broke the next two big Y checks but I had a good weekend.
Speaking of mad bank, haha I got my check for Gilbert finally. WOOT. 300 Washington's. Yay for saving for future things and for my trip to Disney! Now my money from Big Y can go to that and I won't feel bad!
In other, other news...I'm dropping a class. *Gasp* I know I know. I'm not doing well and I have trouble getting to it on time when I'm healthy. So I just figured I would retake it at a better time next semester or maybe even over the summer. Why struggle and fail. I am doing well in my other classes, lets let that boost my GPA.
Okay, I think that's everything. Foot. Jon. hmmmm....money...I think I covered it all.

Starting to see the light...
A foot update!
I'm finally starting to feel better! One of my fellow crippled ACAbella's suggested putting an icy hot patches on my ankle and it was AWESOME! I slept through the night! Honestly my body is more sore from the crutches than anything else. I wish I could post pictures of my palms. They are all black and blue!
I really don't know what I would have done with out Jon. He helped me so much! I'm not worthy I'm not worthy!
Well This is just a short one because Carolyn and Lisa are coming over! I promise to write a longer cooler one tomorrow! No work this weekend. still on crutches. :(
One Step at a time right?

Some fresh starts and a set back
I've crossed over!
I've had a livejournal since I was in high school. It's always gotten the job done, but it seems like many have upgraded to Blogger. I can think of two people who still write in their livejournal regularly. I just like the way Blogger is set up and I don't know it just seems more personal. I know there is the whole public no private or friends only option, but if I feel the need to vent about things that shouldn't be on here...Livejournal is still there. I'm loving the green layout. The picture is of Topsmead State Park in Litchfield. Probably my favorite outdoor place on the planet. If I have my way, I want to get married there. :)
So going along with fresh starts is the fact that winter is on it's way out. The days are warmer. The days are too warm for my heavy pea-coat. Its sunny and the wind is not biting. Although I am a little disappointed that we didn't have a spectacular snow storm to keep us snowed in for a couple days, I suppose it's a blessing. I hate walking around school like that. But in any case, it feels like spring is coming and that means one thing where I live. EVERYONE is outside. You can here the kids running around and screaming. You can hear the middle aged Spanish men listening to their music and working on their crappy cars. This I find adorable. You can also hear the young people listening to their hip hop music at all hours with the bass so loud its shaking their car. This I find obnoxious. The neighbors next store will have their windows open....which means I will have to figure out a way to drown out their already loud voices. Bring it on.
Speaking of already mentioned neighbors: Do you think I could call ASPCA or animal cruelty just because I can hear them yelling at their dog, all the time? No. I didn't think so either. :(
Okay and now for the set back. Saturday night I went to my cousin's house. You know, the one that is getting married in June? Well it was a really uneventful night. I alphabetized her guest list so they could tell the reception hall what the people were eating. Any who. at about...10:45, her brother had to go to work and i was blocking him and I went to go home. I had my bridesmaid dress, I had my purse. I was going slow because I couldn't see well...
...and I slipped on ice. It was like what had melted during the day had frozen at the bottom of the walk and i of course am a magnet for disaster. My leg stayed in one place and my body moved. It hurt really bad and my cousin had to pick me up and carry me to my car. Lets just say by the time I drove home, I couldn't put weight on it at all (it's my left leg) Long story short. I was in the ER until almost 2. I sprained it and chipped the bone and I'm crutches. Jon was five hours away in Pennsylvania visiting his sister. I can barely get around. School is pretty much not an option unless someone can help me with all my stuff or I can get a handicapped sticker or something. I'm really hoping it will go away normal...I don't want a cast.
Despite the set back. I'm still happy. Jon is coming up to take care of me and then tomorrow is six months spent together. I know that it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but Jon and I liked each other for a long time before he did anything about it...as well as it just feels longer than six months. Ha which actually, it is. It's more like 7 and a week. But I was a chicken. You get what I mean, right? <3
Okay, I'm done now.
