I really don't have much to say. School was okay. We were split into groups and played a review game. My team came in second place. We proved to be a pretty formidable opponent. Work was repetitive. My bosses are gone until the sixteenth so it's basically just free time in the neighborhood. High five-ing and texting and slacking. Perfect day.
After work I met with Robert and Karen at the Barnes and Noble Starbucks to "study" (buy magazines). It was fun. They are cool to hang with. Robert was okay today. I would actually be into him if he were attractive to me. Big "IF" though.
I bought i-D's 300th issue. It cost $10.99. Very steep for a magazine but it's British and way cooler than what we have and I have a weakness for special issues of anything. I just like to shop.
I am thinking about switching rooms with my grandma. I am sleeping in her room because my aunt and uncle are in mine. I love the location of her room. It's all the way in the back and she has a bigger closet. I want it. Really bad. Time for some tricky convincing.

another thing
To Vanessa Hudgens:
WE GET IT. YOU'RE BOHEMIAN AND TRY HARD HIPPIE-CHIC. NOW STOP IT AND GET OUT OF MY FUCKING FACE.
Always,
Claire
i've been bad.
Yes, I know I haven't been updating; I'm sorry. Summer session is wrapping up, so things are kind of piling up. I turned in my big research paper on the foster care system this afternoon at 5 (I was at the library of course).
Shit man. I've got nothing to say.
I don't like shooting people down, especially in front of other people. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Today at the library "particular asian guy who likes me but I don't like him and he doesn't get it" asked me to go play tennis sometime. So maybe tennis is neutral enough, but I still don't think so. I replied with a
"Naw mayne. I never want to play tennis again." (I don't really know why I said that)
"Why not?"
"I was just kidding, I just don't feel it right now."
"Oh okay."
Another couple was sitting in the room at the time, and I felt pretty awful saying no like that but whatever... BITCH PLEEAASE. I only play tennis with a few people, WORTHY PEOPLE! (ha just a joke, but I really do only play with certain people)
I didn't have any homework tonight really, so I spent my day on my keyboard or running with my dogs.
OH, also I did a good thing today, be proud. I was running around outside with Zooey, (in an effort to get her really tired so she would just sleep) and all of a sudden there was a chihuahua following me around. It started barking at me, and I instantly recognized that bitch-ass sound: neighbor's dog. So I knocked on their door, and informed them that their dog had gotten loose. And he was grateful, end of story. Yeah, I'm a good person. TAKE IT IN. Haha

"Alex, during the procedure, you're going to be so drugged up you'll think Brad Pitt is performing the operation."
Literal words of my dentist, Dr. Dick Flesher. I kidd you not, that's his name!
So, I went to the dentist this morning and it went as well as it can go when a 65 year old man has his hands in your mouth. But he was nice and I've known him for years. He said that all four of my wisdom teeth had to be removed. To be honest, I'm kind of excited. I've never had an operation before have I ever had any of the pain killing narcotics that follow. And being a pharmacy technician, I know exactly what's going to happen to me when I take them, haha. Anyways, I have to go through like a weeks worth of preparation and medication before the surgery and since the dentist said he would have to break open my gums to reach two of the teeth, I was going to be catatonic for a few days after. It'll give me a chance to catch up on my beauty sleep I think.
Anyways, I took my prescriptions to work to put them on hold since this all won't be happening till the end of next month and when Raji looked at them she laughed and said my sedation pill would knock me out in about 20 minutes so it's important someone drive me that day. Actually, I was going to have the pill and take my chances on getting there in time, haha. Just kidding.
After the dentist, I went to Fry's to find a cheap bookshelf since I know next semester I wouldn't have any place to store my movies. Of course, the put all the furniture at the back of the store so I have to carry the damn thing all the way to the front (isn't what the guys in the snazzy white shirts are for?!) and as always, there's a long line. I have to keep reposistioning the bookshelf since it weighs so much and I have no upper body strength to begin with. After standing there for about 10 minutes the guy behind me goes "Well, jeez! You're sure getting a work out with that thing!" I had no idea how to respond so I go "Yeah. It's heavy." Thanks for stating the obvious, weirdo. And he was only buying chips! Who goes into Fry's only to buy chips?!
I don't want to drive to Southlake for work tomorrow. Southlake should come to me!
My mom spent the night last night and it was awkward.
Why aren't you (Thatcher and Claire, mostly Claire) updating everyday? I thought we had an agreement. An agreement during a movie at that! The one contract you never break!

I've Got Something To Worry About
I am so over boredom. I am over stress. I am over not knowing what I want to do with my life. I need some excitement, some drama. Not too much, I don't want this to turn into a "be careful what you wish for" situation, I just need something to happen. Something really good that never happens to me. Like a date or something not involving procrastination. And I know as soon as I don't want/expect drama it will come. I am actually a tad bit scared that something will happen now. Ugh, why do I psych myself out with this stuff? So superstitious. I think I just want boy drama. Yeah that's it, boy drama.
On Thursday I am going to the dollar theater with Brandon, Kelsi, and Drew (a different Drew than the recent Drew for all of you non-following readers). I am excited because I miss Brandon. Kelsi I never talk to and Drew I just saw but I miss my BFF Brandon. I miss the way he makes me bitch and stuff. It will be fun.

I'm losing my ever-loving mind.
So last night I ended up writing a "Dear John" letter of sorts to Drew basically apologizing for kissing him and reaffirming the fact that I still just want to be friends. Despite throwing my arms around him...
I think Thatcher is right....I think it just felt nice to have someone take care of me and show some interest. Oh well. He said he understood and hoped we could still hang out from time to time. Why the hell not?
I woke up feeling so sluggish this morning. It was so cloudy and dismal so I ended up getting dressed then just moved my body to the couch and watched Doctor Zhivago. I've never been much of a coffee drinker but I'm sure as hell looking forward to it this afternoon.
Speaking of which, I was going to grab lunch with Christina but she ended up canceling on me an hour before we were suppose to meet. I hate when people do that...
I really want to buy some more movies. It feels like they are all I have so I have to own as many as possible, haha.
After hanging out with Astrid last night, I realize that I really miss school. It was nice being back on campus despite the absence of people and I'm ready to have my mind stimulated again. I say that now but then 3 weeks after school starts I'll anticipate break more than anything.
I bought a hunter green V-neck last night and I love it.

I Hate It When You Leave
Nicole went back to Colorado today which makes me really sad. I hate that she doesn't live in Texas anymore. I miss the convenience of having my voice of reason so close to me. I just miss friends I think.
My family reunion was this weekend and it was mildly lame. Not a lot of people showed up and my aunt made subtle pissy comments about me not seeing her in Colorado. She can get over it.
Today my other (more pleasant) aunt gave me a yellow long sleeve Ralph Lauren Polo sweater. I didn't know what love was until I laid my eyes on that beautiful article of clothing. If only men were more available like clothing. That would be a dream world.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Okay, so. Tonight was my "date" night with Drew. I got off work, came home, put on a dress and redid my makeup and made my hair as big as possible. Keep in mind, I wasn't necessarily looking forward to the date because I undeniably knew how it was going to end but wanted to make it look like I actually wanted to be there.
I drive to Arlington (no easy feat without Thatcher's navigating skills) and show up to the Simply Fondue restaurant about 45 minutes early. I figured there would be bad traffic but it all stopped after 121 so I had gotten there earlier than expected but there was a Half Price Book Store right down the lot so I just went in there to kill some time. I felt pretty ridiculous being in my four inch heels and looking for On The Road. Basically, I looked out of place.
I texted Drew saying I had gotten there early and was wandering around Half Price so whenever he got there, he should should just text me and I'd walk back to the restaurant. Not 30 seconds goes by before I hear a "You always arrive so early!" and see Drew walking towards me in Half Price. He looks at me, the ole' up and down, if you will and says "You look really nice." We doddle in the store for about 15 more minutes then walk over to the restaurant.
When we get to the resturanat, I can already tell this is going to be an awkward evening seeing as how this is the most romantic atmosphere I've ever been in. It's a very dimly lit place with smooth jazz playing in the background and everyone there is in "couple mode." I kidd you not, there were people feeing each other chocolate dipped strawberries.
The waiter sits us down and just to add to my pain he lites a candle between us then walks away. I'll skip the details of the meal because it's far too complicated for me to explain. 4 courses. Salad, cheese fondue, entree, and chocolate fondue. In this time I had managed to almost set Drew on fire and there was a bug in my tea which resulted in more tea and the apologies of the manager (he did not however offer to compensate for the meal, haha)
The bill comes and I whip out my debit card yelling "Let me pay for my half!"
Drew: Haha, don't worry about it!
Alex: No seriously, I want to pay for my half! I insist!
Drew: No! Tonight is my treat!
I then steal the check only to see that the whole thing had cost $120 bucks not including tip. HOLY CHRIST. The food wasn't even THAT good. Drew then grabs it back from me then slips his card in the booklet and hands it to the waiter! I mean, REALLY?!
We leave and Drew walks me to my car and I know the impending doom is about to unfold. I try to stall the situation by doing things like taking off my shoes, then fiddling with my keys to put my shoes in the car. After there is nothing left to stall the situation he finally says:
Drew: Alex.
Alex:....er...yes? *by this time, his arms are wrapped around my waist*
Drew: I had a really great time tonight.
Alex. Er, same here. Why wouldn't you let me pay my half?
Drew: ...seriously? Oh, come on!
Alex:...
Drew: Look, I remember what you said a couple months ago about just wanting to be friends but I was wondering if maybe you changed your mind. Would you be interested in having a relationship with me? *hands still around waist and even though I hate to admit it, it felt nice*
Alex: I'm sorry. The summer is just an inconvenient time to have a relationship. And I don't want to lead you on so I'd really like it if we could just be friends. (or something like that...)
Drew: Yeah, that's fine.
And then you know what I did?! I FUCKING KISSED HIM! Why am I so fucking stupid?!?! I have ruined everything! And you know what makes it even worse?! I kissed him again after that! DAMN.
Don't get me wrong the guy is nice but I'm not romantically attracted to him. Now, I'm probably going to end up marrying him. He's the Steve to my Miranda!
And you know what sucks?! Why can't guys I actually like do things like that for me.?!
Anyways, on a good note. The new stadium looks awesome!

Is it possible to hate someone completely but like their music?
I'm just going to say it. I don't like Regina Spektor. And I don't like how my brother tries to argue me in saying "But her music is so deep and true to real life. I feel like her songs define my life completely."
No, it's not. And she looks like a Russian hooker.
Don't get me wrong, I like some of her songs but I guess it just annoys me when people use other people's work to characterize their individualism. I don't think I believe there is individualism. Because I bet there are at least a hundred people in this state alone who like the same stuff I do. It seems like we, as the human race, have discovered every way to express something. There's nothing left! I accept I'm not special, haha.
Alex
It's love, it's not Santa Claus.
So, I bought what was supposedly French bread for my superior sandwich. Apparently, I bought the Italian French bread and my sandwich was ruined. Point is, I love buying groceries by myself. I feel so...adult.
To reiterate what Claire said, I loved 500 Days of Summer. It was the type of humor I enjoy (rather than Micheal Cera's trade mark awkwardness that follows me everywhere) and it reminded me a lot of my relationship with R-man. Not completely, mind you, but certain aspects. But in my case I'd be Joseph Gordon-Levitt and he's Zooey Deschanel. I also really liked the soundtrack.
So next week I have to work 5 days in a row and I'm not looking forward to it, haha.
I can't stop watching the VH1 weekend long tribute to Michael Jackson. I don't care what anyone says. He was one of my favorite pop stars growing up and his contribution to pop culture is undeniable. OW! I also hate all these people who feel the need to point out accusations against him. Seriously, after you're dead, do you want everyone pointing out your negative flaws? When did everyone become cynics?
I wish my job would stop scheduling me to work Sunday mornings. I keep missing church.
I'm really looking forward to my trip to Corpus Christi next month. Just some young adults hanging out...!

I HATE SUMMER SCHOOL
My group assigned me this : Find statistics on the US PATRIOT act. (I.e. funding, how many people are arrested off this act, etc).
IT IS A SECRET GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. What the FUCK do you want me to do about that? This is motherfucking summer school, I shouldn't be expected to hack the system for an A.
Sidenote: 500 Days of Summer was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Maybe I say that because it's fresh in my mind, but I really liked it.

The Impeccable Mr. T-Tech
In the wake of a messy school week filled with tests and dumb, bitch-ass papers I still managed to receive a compliment on a day I was probably the most under dressed I have ever been in my two week summer school career (major run-on). In government class Wednesday I was wearing my Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers shirt, gray jeans, and black low top Chucks. Not my best day but I could have looked a hell of a lot worse. Well the class was broken up into groups and when I wasn't even doing anything I received my compliment. It came from the most flawless guy in the room, let me set the scene:
Me standing in the back in the classroom with R and Jonathan (sort of bigot-ty). Enter Mr. Flawless (or the Impeccable Mr. T-Tech) and while pointing (he pointed!)
IMr.TT: That is an awesome shirt!!!!!
Me: (while drooling) Thank you!!!
(Fin)
There was more conversation but I don't remember it because I was blinded by sex appeal. His nickname is derived from his flawless skin and the frequent wearing of Texas Tech shirts. R and I now often talk about him (when R's not annoyingly tickling me) and the other lookers in the class but IMr.TT is number one all the way. IMr.TT is basically the only thing keeping me up in government and hopefully he is present everyday. If not then he deserves a spanking from Professor Thatcher.

People..
.. suck.
I've been writing this intro for my visual analysis paper for about three hours now. I can't get the words to sound how I want them to. I don't know why I'm trying so hard in summer school. I think it's partially my paranoia that UT Austin is going to look at my grades there too, to see if I was making an effort. BLAH.
Any confusion I had with that one person (YOU KNOW) is gone. My friend told me that some of our other friends/acquaintances seem to think I'm leading him on. I treat him the same way I treat everyone. (Someone mentioned playing video games with him, if that is the case, I'm hitting on you too Alex, as well as my sister and cousins. WTF, I play video games with EVERYONE.) I don't like it man. It bothers me thinking that people that don't really know me that well are thinking oh she's that bitch leading on our friend. Ugh. I'm going to do that thing I do when I have no idea what to do, ignore him. You guys remember how in high school if someone liked me and I didn't know what to do about it, I would completely cut that person off and ignore them? BAM, going with that.
Well no not really so much. I'm very good friends with this person so it would be difficult to do so. Advice? Maybe I'm overly paranoid. Maybe I'm just the right amount of paranoid.

The Minus Is R
My cousin is in town for the week with my family which is cool. We are partners in crime so to speak. I went to her graduation over the weekend which was ridiculously long for 150 students. Mine was 750 kids and both ceremonies were the same length.
Summer school started Monday and it is already boring as hell. There are some lookers though so plus there. The minus is R. I'm gonna call him R because I'm starting to cut back on the full names I'm using. R is a BIG gay man who likes to touch me much to my disliking. And he's a bit baby-ish. I wouldn't mind the touching if he were more attractive and less "let's talk about me" whiny. But, he's the only person I know in the class (we graduated together) so I have to talk to him so I won't go insane from silence.
I'm going shopping today and I am excited because their may be a CFC (cute flashy clerk) sighting at the Gap. Crossing my fingers.

I'm going shopping today and I am excited because their may be a CFC (cute flashy clerk) sighting at the Gap. Crossing my fingers.

SUMMER
Summer school has started, it's boring. I don't have to buy books though, thanks to some friends. I also don't have to drive as much because I'll be carpooling. Although I feel kind of awful for unintentionally forcing one person to carpool with another. But I can't say no to people in person, and I don't have a problem with the person myself. SO, SORRY to the victim in this situation I guess.
Um, nothing to say really. Oh I was browsing the internet and saw this. Fame has made her more and more unattractive. Lol, sad.

I can't stop listening to Poker Face :/
Well, since everyone else is updating...
I need some realistic summer goals. I've been working out (but hasn't everyone?) I've tried reading but nothing seems interesting enough to stick to. I kind of wish I would have signed up for summer classes so I could have something to occupy my mind. Now it just seems like I sit around waiting to go to work. And I can't relax because the inevitable doom of going to work always lingers, haha.
Working out is fun! Micheal Phelps said for lean muscle, you need small weight and lots o' reps. I do like 5 reps of 100 everyday day with my arms. I know you can't spot train but it's okay to dream! I see some small improvement in the arm flab, though! It's pretty motivating...not gonna lie.
Chase is graduating next week. My family is running around with their heads cut off. I don't see what the big deal is, haha. At least I can have my cell phone at this graduation. It should make time go by quicker!
I wish my uncle would go to bed so I could watch TV.
Oh. Okay. So today, in an eternal state of boredom, I started watching the news. Everyone seems to be in a hype over the Bruno and Eminem prank and it's lack of morality's effect on teenagers. I guess I'm just going to rant hear and say I agree with them. I realize they are playing to adult humor but seeing as how 3/4's of MTV Movie Awards viewers were premenstrual Zac Efron/Robert Pattinson lovers, we need to draw a line somewhere. F bombs and phallic gestures with a golden popcorn statues are good and well for adults but lets try to have some morals for our kids.
I'm really motivated for school! I wanna LEARN!
I don't like when I don't hang out with anyone for a few days and then everyone wants to hang out at the same time...
The interet is starting to...bore me? Maybe I'm just spending too much time at the same websites. (clearly not this one, though :P)
The rain last night was so relaxing! I slept like a freaking rock!
OKAY. SO. I was insanely pissed off when I bought cereal last night at 8pm. Keep in mind that I am not the usual supplier of groceries in the house but seeing as how my grandparents haven't been here in a few days and we were running low of staple foods such as bread, milk, cereal I decided, out of the goodness of my heart to spend MY money and get some food. Okay, so back to the cereal...I put the groceries away and then settle in for the night. When I wake up, I think to myself "Gee, I'd really enjoy a bowl of the cereal I paid for this morning!" (it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch) only to find that it had already been eaten in not even twelve hours. It's not like I live in a German youth hostel where there are twenty plus people living in the house but between three people (my uncle, and two cousins) it was all gone. A FULL FUCKING BOX! Multiple bowls each! GOD DAMMIT!
I can't wait until I live in a trendy apartment alone and have my food to myself, haha.
Well, enough of that for one night.
