1:58 pm - library time
|
with two tests in the next two days, and then finals right after that, i find myself in the library. i expect to be here a lot until christmas. it is here that i see the strangest people. my current annoyance are girls who wear uggs (ugly Australian boot things, in case you live under a rock) with skirts. not that i think that this is an improvement over wearing your jeans tucked into them. at least there could be practicality tucking your jeans into them (say for instance... a foot of snow on the ground?) but by wearing them with jean shorts, you just look stupid. i mean, what look are you going for in these things anyways, a collegiate eskimo?
maybe they are called uggs because that's what people say every time they have to look at these stupid things. i know that i do.
and that's what really grinds my gears.

12:41 am - just thinking
|
i don't know what nickelback was thinking when they wrote this song, but the chorus is such a metaphor for God's love for us:
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
but i have a chem lab at 7:20 tomorrow, so good night.
P.S.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!

1:18 am - why.
|
|
so i've been really busy with school and stuff lately. i worked my ass off last week, but i've been kinda slacking this week (read: slacking for me means working harder that all of you, no offense) with school, so i know that this coming week is gonna be hell.
at four this morning - going to the frat to steal stuff. (pledge thing, you wouldn't understand)
monday - sleeping, going to mr. beall's viewing, class, flag football, serenades.
tuesday - studying for my chem exam, calc homework, writing a paper, doing chem prelab, studying other classes, serenades
wednesday - lots of classes, then chem exam, then pledge mom night
thursday - doing chem hw, chem lab, calc hw, writing an english paper, floor parties (if i have time)
friday - lots more classes, finishing chem hw, writing more of an english paper, leaving to go to iu
saturday - partying and pregaming with hillary, abby, and iu losers (or they will be once purdue STOMPS them)
sunday - coming back and studying like crazy for the last two days of class before break.
but on to the real reason that i started this...
everyone's been writing stuff about mr. beall. the best writing was greg moser's (http://www.livejournal.com/users/city_boy77/11536.html)
none-the-less, it's just now hit me how i will never see him again. i will never see him staring at people so intimidatingly, and laughing on the inside because i know that he really cares for them, and just likes to have fun with people like that. i'll never hear him talk about J-Lo's butt, or hear Milton from Office Space come over his computer. i'll never hear any more retarded jokes that i love so much, "roses are red..." insults, i'll never get another ulcer when i hope that i don't have anything due in that class. like greg said, i don't remember the GNP of Venezuala, but i do remember how much he cared for all of his students.
to those of you that didn't get to meet him, you missed out. you never truly graduate MHS until you've had him.
to the greatest teacher ever to grace the hallways of MHS, you will truly be missed Mr. Beall.

10:49 am - on the notebook, in between classes...
|
i hate the college workload. what was i thinking, choosing engineering. i must have a death wish or something.
honestly, they must sit around and say "i wonder if we can make these kids' heads explode by cramming them full of stuff and then giving them tons of homework. i've been up past 2 every night this week doing (for the most part) homework. (excluding eating, a football game, and two weightlifting sessions)
bah! death to homework. i have to get it all done before 5:20 today. i'm going home for homecoming, so you'll see me there. then back here on saturday with dessa to watch purdue whip some notre dame ass! woohoo.
current mood: relaxed... for now

11:07 am - conflicts
|
|
i feel like i should be taking more classes. i'm not in my english class anymore for some reason (see also: scheduling conflict?) and so i only have like 14 credit hours now... for instance, i'm going to my grandma's house today before classes. should that even be allowed? whatever. i still have enough to keep me busy, to an extent.
also, i have to choose between crew and rushing and stuff. i'm anticipating a rather large class load next semester, so i don't want to do crew, as i would probably kill myself. and, i don't know where i want to rush at either. *sigh* this sucks.
i want peaches's mom to make my decisions for me, too.

bitchin...
college life rocks.
there's so much freedom, but also so much boredom so far; i have too much time to do (for now) too little work.
right now the workload rivals high school, but whatever.
tonight i had movie night in my dorm. (again)
jessie and some other girls came over and watched a movie with us guys. it was tight. although, ladder 49 is a really sad movie.
well, four classes tomorrow, so i'll talk to you guys later.

2:42 am - sorry...
|
sorry to scare you all with my last few entries.
i'm at purdue now, and it's AMAZING!!!
i've met awesome people, and made some incredible friends. this is truly going to be the most fun ever.
they're running us ragged up here, and i have to go on about 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. but i'll try and sum this up for you...
i've done unimaginable things, yelled at stupid crap, sang the purdue fight song with 5,000 other freshman. (about 66% of the freshman class) i've been to more frat parties in the last three days than i can count. (not getting drunk, but having fun none-the-less) i've walked drunk people home, i've made friends in the fraternities, and thought about rushing some. i've seen no less than 3,000 cell phones get raised in a dark auditorium, and i've truly felt the might of purdue. i've been gived, literally, more free stuff than i can physically carry.
i've seen people be hypnotized, and people dance like crazy.
i'm more outgoing, more fun, and cooler than i have ever been in my life. people that meet me here have no idea that i used to be scared of what other people think. you truly do have to strip everything, and start from nothing.
i've found a place i belong, and where other people rely on me for fun. where i am not looked down upon for my social standing, because no one knows anything about me. EVER person that i've met loves me, and loves me even more when they realise that my name is, in fact, Andy Dick. i get phone calls all the time from people asking where we should go, and what we should do. i've never had this much influence on people, and i've never felt this much power. i've never known that there was this much to do, and know that i can do it. i don't THINK that i can; i KNOW that i can.
it's an amazing feeling.
too bad some people won't ever get to experience it.
and the best part, is that i'm free. also indescribable.
current mood:  amazing

my dad found out about the little mini-party that i had at my house.
lame.
apparently, people slept in my brother's bed, and used the computer and stuff.
it's a good thing that nothing bad happened, or he might be pissed more than normal.
[EDIT]
also, i have quite a few things that i have to yell at diana for. more on that later maybe.
although, she did make dinner tonight, and it was better than last time we made it.
i hope that your lives are going better than mine right now.

so i got my schedule for Purdue.

i'll put it on here as soon as i figure out a good way how.
today: church
Philly luncheon
work
speaking of work, i'm scheduled 43 hours this week. is that not crazy?
p.s.
i'm super-psyched about going to purdue next year. it's gonna be sweet.

i was playing football last night at the mississenewa, and after making a sweet interception, i slipped and landed on my phone.
SUCK!
both screens are cracked, and i can't see anything. luckily, it still works.
monday, i'll probably go in to see about getting a new one. :'( i don't have that kind of money...
at least laura, diana, and angie came out to see me last night. that was cool. we made s'mores and talked about people.
well, time to go to work... again. as jordan so aptly put it yesterday "Welcome to the place fun goes to die." and also "I swear this place sucks the life out of you... I can feel it being sucked out of me right now."
so true...
(at least i'm trading my sleep, free time, and health for ridiculously small amounts of money.)

so much to say, and no energy to say it.
my family's out at the campgrounds right now, that's why i can finally snag the modem and get on the internet... stupid brother. i'm by myself here tonight at home because i have to work tomorrow. oh well; money's money, and Lord knows that i could use some more of it...
i've spent the last two days cleaning my room out. i must say that it looks tons better. i just have my closet to finish, and then i'll finally get that amazing sense of accomplishment back. i haven't gotten that feeling since i got my last high school report card, and realized that i was done, and that's all that i have to show for all my years of work. then i felt bad because it showed nothing good. it made me look like a slacker, which i guess, for three and a half years, would've been accurate.
i just realized that i really haven't seen any of my friends since graduation. it's really depressing, actually. it's almost like they only talked to me because i was there. it's not true of course, because i'm not going out of my way to talk to them, but starting now, I AM! that's right suckas. don't be surprised by a ramdom phone call or message or house visit sometime in the next two weeks or so!
you know the funny thing? a lot of people don't read the long entries in lj because they're busy, or have short attention spans, or what-have-you, but it's the long ones that are the most important. they truly give you the best insight into that person, and they truly convey how that person is feeling.
on the subject of feeling, i absolutely LOVE talking to Dessa. well, i mean, i love her in general, but i love just talking about everything and nothing at all. The future, problems, other people, movies, ourselves, music, whatever. it just feels so good to be able to tell someone things that you wouldn't normally tell other people.
actually, i'm really worried about our relationship lasting through college, but everytime i talk to her, i feel more confident that we can do it. i mean, if it's true love, it will last, so no worries.
Come time for college, i will have two priorities: getting good grades, and dessa. it will be really tough to be away from each other for so long, but we can do it. i'll tell you right now that those two priorites are almost equal in importance, if that gives you any clue as to how much i want to stay together.
well, this has gotten pretty long. so time for a wrap-up... k bye, i have a quick weightlifting session calling my name.

2:48 pm - relaxed, but still busy
|
since my last entry, i've worked on my car, worked on my motorcycle, hung out with my girlfriend, lifted weights, and done other manly things. it's been great.
i just got done replacing a headlight and water pump on my car. that was educational. it wasn't as hard as i thought that it would be, so that's good.
dessa's babysitting this spoiled brat of a kid. she's sooo bad. i was only there for a little more than an hour i think, and that was bad enough. she has that kid for almost 12 hours yesterday, today, and tomorrow. that sucks.
but now i have to go do girly stuff like write thank you notes and clean my room. oh well.

11:25 pm - when we last left our hero...
|
since the last time that i updated, lots of stuff has happened:
for starters, right after i updated, i was on my way to my grandma's house when my bike died.
i ended up having to push it about 4 miles, and it hasn't worked since. suck.
also graduation rocked! everyone said that it was boring, but that's fine with me.
i'm officially done with school. sweeeeeeet.
open houses were cool.
some people showed up to mine that i didn't think would, and some people that i thought would didn't
oh well, you'll have that.
on a different note, dessa really liked her presents, and i am officially the coolest dude alive for it.
also, parker's a pretty cool dude.
i needed to switch work days, and he did it, even though he got the shaft doing it.
dessa got me the phantom of the opera dvd for graduation. it's sweet.
my parents got me the sweetest laptop ever for college!
it's a hp pavilion dv1245cl. check it out sometime.
and for reference, arguing sucks. a lot.

1:25 pm - graduation practice
|
|
so tomorrow is graduation.
mixed feelings about that.
i have a few really good ideas for graduation presents for dessa (for once!)
i probably wont have time to post tomorrow because i'll be so busy.
open houses, open houses, and more open houses. yikes!
my open house is sunday (may 29th) from 12 - 3 at my house. be there suckers!
and i have so much stuff to do around here, but my dad wants me to go out to my grandma's to help her mow. grr.
p.s.
i like how our graduating class can't follow simple instructions despite 13 years of training. *sigh*

1:30 pm - for a few seconds
|
it always seems like i don't have enough time to post anything.
i'm too busy, or too tired, or having too much stuff to do.
i don't remember when the last time that i posted was, but here's the last... week's worth of stuff.
thursday - track meet. girls kicked butt. guys got second. oh well.
also, senior projects done and over with. yay!
a lot of people really liked my bike!
friday - half-days rock. i rode my bike, and then went to dessa's house to see her off; she's gone for the weekend =(
then brandon came over and we watched some family guy.
then i had to go shovel mud and rocks out of this big pile in our yard. grr.
i passed out later that night. the lack of sleep and physical work got to me.
i remember thinking, "wow my legs are really tired, i think that i'll kneel here for a minute." and then i woke up 4 hours later. at least i got some sleep.
sat - dug rocks out of a field all day. i'm so sore, and burnt.
then dessa called to see what was up. that was fun. i love talking to her almost as i love her herself. (makes sense? not really. too bad; i get it.)
then went to kokomo with fat rocky and brandon. it was all pretty cool until the fateful phone call. *ugh*
i hope that i hear from brandon soon.
sun - mother's day: i got up extra-early to make my mom breakfast in bed. i made her eggs and toast and put a flower with it. she liked it.
then i rode to church, and then to kokomo. my dad thought that it would be fun to see how fast i could go on my bike, and so he just kept going faster and faster to see if i could keep up. i figured out that without doing any sort of wind-reducing thing, the fastest that my bike goes is about 78 mph. so that's neat.
but yeah, we went to mancinos, and then to sam's club. if we didn't have my mom around, we would be so broke, because my dad loves to buy cool stuff.
after that, i went home, and it seemed like everyone wanted to go super-fast. grr. reckless drivers.
well, that sums it up, i'm gonna make some phone calls.
buh bye.

SENIOR PROJECT IS DONE!!! (except for my trifold. eww)
but now i need plates for my bike, so that i can ride it. yay!
i seriously don't have time to do anything anymore. it sucks.
track meet last night got canceled, which sucks because we were cleaning up hardcore. oh well.
You're the color blue. You have the three c's in
life--you're cool, caring and confident.
Trustworthy and honest, people are naturally
attracted to you. You're unusually optimistic,
but that makes life all the better. You're an
imaginative person who loves sleeping and
dreaming. Hard-working and determined, you
excell in school. You're everybody's favorite,
and this is because you have this undefined
richness in your personality and attitude.
Mild-tempered and stable. Not to mention very
intelligent. Along with the fact that you're
conservative, you're worried about the
environment. So basically, you're a generous,
dependable and devoted--just the kind of person
everybody needs. Wouldn't it be great if
everybody in the world were like you?
What color are you? (Amazingly detailed & accurate--with pics!)

9:53 pm - with a red guitar... on fire
|
came back from florida.
still not tan, but not albino anymore.
minimal amount of burning.
i treated myself to a case for my phone, as well as one for my pda, courtesy of my birthday money. :D
also, a hat, and a shirt... yeah that sounds lame, but i'm saving up for a digital camera. - so far it looks like a Kodak Easyshare CX7350, or a Nikon Coolpix 4600, but i'm still looking.
sounds like everyone had fun on spring break. especially the gulf shore group and the band.
dessa came over for almost 7 hours today... i'm still smiling about it two hours later.
*sigh* i was having withdrawls lol.
tonight was perfect. we had fun, and we got some serious stuff out too.
it was incredible.
perfect, really.
thanks hon.

why does it seem like i only post when i do something stupid?
and why does it seem like i become incredibly lethargic when i have the most stuff to do?
anywho, dessa called tonight, and we were going to do something, but iiii.. did something, and now weren't not.. *sigh* i don't want to say that i talked her out of it, but i feel like i did. i thought that it might be boring hanging out at her house, but now, i would almost give anything just to be there... stupid stupid stupid.
if we really do learn from our mistakes, i will be the smartest person alive by the time that i'm 20...
i worked on my motorcycle for a lazy 7 hours today. it felt good to be out of the house, and around such smart people for a change. people that actually have something to talk about, not just superficial conversations that some people have. i learn so much just being around older, wiser people. it's fun. i wouldn't want to be around them all the time. for example:
last night (thursday) was a blast. dessa and i were going to hang out, and then alyssa said that she and matt were going to go bowling and wanted to know if we wanted to come. so sure, cool. then mallory and ben were going. even better. when we got there, kevro, chad, buddha, and his sister were there. it was hillarious. we ended up not going bowling because it was league night. we went to pizza quik for awhile. that was not even funny... buddha was hillarious. and alyssa was in a fairly dirty frame of mind, haha.
after pizza quik, we went to the loft. that was fun, in a different way than pizza quik. pizza quik was general fun, while the loft was just fun being in the company of everyone. basically, the night was amazing. it was one of those stereotyped high school nights where you feel on top of the world.
basically, i feel out of it, and i don't really want to do anything. but i'm trying to get in the typing mood so that i can start my senior logs. i think that i'm feeling more productive now, which is good because my mom's yelling at me to go do chores. :(
later.
Why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did, in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.

11:59 pm - as it turns out, i'm an asshole
|
i was worried almost all day, because dessa was going to a party tonight where there were going to be drunk guys there. i know how guys normally act around her, so it would be worse if they were drunk. i had to work, and was super-pissed about it. the only reason that i was in a halfway decent mood at all tonight was because i was working with jordan woods.
anywho, dessa comes in to see me with some friends. unfortunately, jordan is talking to krista, and won't come back to his register so that i can talk to dessa. he later said that he didn't know that it was my girlfriend, otherwise he would've come back earlier. also, he hadn't seen krista in 3 days. understandable. BUT, i got to talk to dessa for about 5 minutes out of the 20 or so that she was there. it sucked. but, she was really understanding, so that was cool. when she left, i said "have fun." but she didn't say anything back. later, at about 10:30, dessa came in again to get a pepsi. i was really out of it, and came off as kinda a jerk (i think). she seemed put off, but she said that nothing was wrong. i just wasn't satisfied, so i called her to apologize, and that went over a little better. she sped on the way home, which i felt bad about, because that means that she must have been angry. i can't really stand the fact that she put herself at risk because i made her mad.
when she came in later, she had called ahead of time to ask if i was busy, and i said yes. but because she likes me so much, she came in to buy a pepsi, even though she has plenty of them at her house. that should've been my first clue that i should've verbally expressed my thanks. my second clue would've been when she gave me one of those coy smiles of hers. i returned it, but then didn't say anything when she came up to me. i was so tired, and yet, i should've been able to muster the energy to be sufficiently cordial. (at the least) i mean, she's my girlfriend, and she made sacrifices tonight to see me. she left her friends at a party just to come and say hi, and i almost blew her off. i'm such an ass. i was talking to jordan about it later, and he said the same thing. that sometimes he does that kind of thing to krista without realizing it, and then thinks to himself later "what in the world was i thinking?" that's exactly what happened tonight.
i mean, i felt horrible. i still do. i was worried about her all night, when i should've been worrying about myself. dessa can take care of herself, and my stupid, psuedo-neurotic fallacies about how she carries herself around other guys. she's a touchy-feely kind of person, and i need to realize that and deal with it. i have ... "privlidges" that others don't, and i still can't help but get jealous everytime she looks like she's having fun with another guy. i'm getting better at it, (LOTS better) but i still have that little, itty-bitty, tiny twinge every once in a while. hopefully, i'll remember all this stuff, and be able to tell her tomorrow when i get to see her.
it was 11:30 when i started writing this, it's almost midnight now, and it is sure to be much past that when i finish. i'm trying to get all my feelings about tonight out, just so that i remember them. i can read over them later, again and again and again so that i learn from my mistakes. that's what i normally do with entries like this. these type of entries are actually normally in my paper journal, which is a little more personal, but i'm putting this one as public so that i can send it to dessa. i would MUCH rather tell her in person, but she says that i talk to much as it is, and so i'll save her the long story, and just let this speak for itself.
and really, there are a few reasons that i talk so much. number one, i like to. it's fun. number two, i don't like "dead time." you know: that akward silence where no one says anything. that leads up to: number three, i like to seem exciting. how much fun is someone who just sits there and stares at people all day? exactly, none. and number four, i like to know a lot about other people, and i figure that by telling them some things about me, they will open up and start talking about themselves. it generally works, and if you're a good listener, you can learn a lot.
and just when things were going so well. i have to go and screw it up. stupid, stupid, stupid *pantomimes hitting self in head with blunt, weighty object*
i mean, they always say that trials always make you stronger, and they do. that's the whole basis in christianity for why God tests us. and when dessa and i broke up, i really learned about her, and how she thinks. when we got back together, i knew a lot more about her, and was able to be a better boyfriend. so once we get though this, we'll be much better. actually, what would be perfect would be that she would just tell me what she was feeling whenever i asked. but, like i said, that would be perfect, and that just doesn't work. (i could be geeky here and mention something about the first matrix (not the first matrix movie, the first matrix created within the series (the one that was rejected)), but i won't :P)
i was in such a good mood today during the first part of work. dessa was super-cool after school, and i was cool with her taking lucas home. (see, i told you that i was getting better at this jealousy thing. (he even smacked her butt today, and i saw it from down the hall. i was HAPPY.)) i got to talk to kaley and brittany and kyle after school, something that i haven't done in a long time. kaley gave be a donut for my birthday. (in 2 weeks or so. haha) i even noticed that i don't hate travis anymore. i'm back to feeling sorry for him. hah. i just don't talk to him because it seems like a waste of my time. (yes, i realize that this is a public journal, and that he could read this if he so chooses. if he does read it, and he has a problem with it, then we can sit down and talk about it. i have no problem with him anymore.)
my life's going a much different direction than i have been subconsciously planning for, but the one that i've wanted (and been wished) to go all along. so i'm happy about that. i actually have dessa to thank for most of that. wow, i wonder how much i say her name on here. definately NOT enough. :P actually for as much as i love her, and how a lot of stuff that i do revolves around her, i'm surprised that it's not in here more. yay for pronouns?
well, i might update some more tomorrow when i wake up. i'm going to try and take her advice and sleep in. maybe if i stay up for the end of conan, i can hit the double digits. :D but as for now, i'm about to collapse, and i need to post this. i'll make a cut tomorrow, because whoever sees this massively long entry is sure to shit themselves on the spot.
time of completed entry - 12:45
elapsed time of straight typing while thinking - 1.25+ hours
P.S.
i'm sorry.
i love you.
