My Goodness! Have I really been away this long? Alright, it's time for me to get back into the game. So much has happened. My second semester of college has been one giant party with a dash of soap opera. I shall try to do a condensed version of the past 4 months.
When classes started in January, I had a gap of free time between classes from noon until five thirty. It didn't take me long to discover that the lounge was full of interesting and entertaining people. I even have class with two of the people that were in there at the same time with me. Soon, I learned names and we became friends. The lounge became the highlight of my day. Within time, we all started gravitating to my house and hanging there. Before long, we were playing games, making noise, and hanging out at every chance possible. February followed suit. (Literally, we played card games like euchre all the time.)
By the time March rolled around, drama slowly seeped in. As most of my people know, I have been dating Corey for a long while; almost a year and a half. But there had been rocky spots in the past where we fought over the topic of sex... needless to say, the issue became the death of our relationship and he broke up with me because of it at the end of March. Directly before and for several weeks after some NASTY things were said by him, but I don't need to rehash healing wounds. But there were many soap-opratic moments. For those of you who read this blog at the clear begining, remember Jordanne? Well, Corey tried asking her to date him, she declined, and he persisted. During the time that he thought he would be able to date her, he was happy after the break up, all the while I was misserable (because he was trying to secure a date with her WHILE we were still dating, before he would break up with me). But then, at Wal-Mart at two in the morning, Josh asked me out. Then the tables were turned. Corey had no girl and wanted me back, but all chance of that had been ruined with the things he said and by his actions. So, now, he was misserable and I became the happy one.
With Josh, Tony, Hayden, Jordanne, and all of my other peeps that I've been blessed to meet and become close with in the Lounge (go loungies!) I was able to keep myself sane during all of the drama that the issues eminating from Corey and miscellanious other people. I stayed entertained and preoccupied with trips to Wallyworld, the mall, card games in the lounge, Hayden's rice crispies (home made... BY HIM), roadtips to random places, and of course, by people staying over at my house. Oh, and by the way, Tony and Josh both LOVE my mother and she ADORES them! She talks every chance she can get with them on IM, and when they're at my house, she joins in on the fun! It's amazing the way everyone seems to get along with her.
Before I started dating Josh, I was oblivious to MANY things. As it turns out, the guys were hitting on me! ME! The silent little girl who sits in the corner and reads. It all started with one day, Tony and Josh took over my laptop as I had the webcam up and running, trying to chat with mom. They ended up being flashed by my grandma, trying to sell me to a czechoslovakian pedophile goat farmer, and counting urinals in the boy's bathroom with my mom. That was at the begining of January (yes, back to the begining, a nice little back-track). Then apparently, they constantly hit on me. I was totally oblivious and missed every instance. As it turns out, three of the guys in the lounge actually LIKED me in a sense that could go beyond friendship. But, I haven't had so much fun in the longest time. This semester has been a blast. Before I even started dating Josh, he and Tony were constantly over at my house... One time Josh even stayed past 2:30 in the morning! Another time, a week or two ago, Josh and Tony crashed at my place after Jordanne and Hayden left, just because they could! It was amazing.
Inbetween all of that, Josh was going through hell trying to sort out what to do with his girlfriend, Katie, who had broken up with him, slammed him on myspace and with her friends, only for them to get back together. Without a doubt, that was a mistake of hers. His heart broke and he lost trust in her and faith in their relationship. It wasn't long until they broke up the final time. Now, I get to be the happiest girl on Earth by dating him. Her loss.
(WARNING: here comes a small dosage of "gush" time)
I don't know how all the cards fell into place and I was able to actually meet him, let alone date him. Mom says this is the happiest she's ever seen me. He can always make me laugh, no matter what, and he treats me "like a princess" (his words). I never imagined that I would date a guy like him; he's fun constantly, loves hanging with me every chance he gets, and has a great personality, doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs! (End Gushing)
And then, just a week or so ago, Tony started talking with Jordanne. Meanwhile Jordi was in a relationship with a guy named Adam, whom she wasn't all too thrilled about. So, within a week of Jordi and Tony talking via IM, she dumped Adam and is now on cloud nine with Tony!
Now, we are trying to hook Hayden up with a friend of Jordanne's just so that we can all have someone. And, if it works, she shall be Hayden's first girlfriend!
Tomorrow (Friday), we are all meeting up at my house (as we do almost every friday night, and frequently throughout the week) and then just have a blast hanging together. Shall be fun!
My next post, I shall toss in some pictures of everyone.

Devious Plans
Very frequently, my friends and I devise our devious plans to execute our deranged but fun ideas. We just so happened to have two of these instances in one day.
Yesterday, on my SECOND trip to Sams Club that day, Elizabeth called me and said she has a devious ploy to make it so that me and Corey can eat lunch together even though he has closed lunch and goes to a school on the other side of town. You see, Elizabeth's mom actually works for the school both she and Corey attend, and she has many connections. There is a restaurant on grounds that supports the Culinary Arts class (which Liz is in) and this restaurant is open to the public... and I am public! So, Lizzie's mom, in all of her devious glory, is going to pull Corey from his lunch and get him the proper permission to eat with me at the restaurant! All of this came about because Liz's mom wanted to eat lunch with Elizabeth and Liz took it from there!
Last night at my weekly youth group, my pastor announced our next party. Elizabeth, sitting next to me, devised a devious plan to get a bunch of people to come. Pastor Chris said that the price was $8 and if you brought one guest who had never been to our youth group before than you have to only pay $4 as well as your guest. With two guests you all get in free! So, Elizabeth's devious plan involved getting all of the names of all the students who get emailed the announcements since they aren't actually at the High School to hear them, like me and Elizabeth. There are about twenty or so name, Juniors and Seniors, on this list. And all we have to do is scan in our party invite! Then we can get a bunch of people there and get in free. Now it's only a matter of actually doing it.
So devious.

Retreat
I've been gone for a leadership retreat and now, I am home... and nothing has changed. Shocking.
The little trip of mine was a good way to relax and ignore the world around you. I always love going out to Camp. It was hosted at the same camp I go to every summer and winter, and each time I always wish it would never end. But, now I am back, and ready to type in my blog! Sadly, nothing exciting has happened that would be worth of writing. So, you, dear readers, have a job! Give me some ideas on what I can write about.

2009
It wasn't too long ago that I watched the New Millennium roll in with all of it's splendor. Sadly, the next eight years went down the crapper. Y2K, George W. Bush's election, 9/11, War on Terror, "Axis of Evil", Dubya's re-election, more war, more terror, economic meltdown, recession, and now we're back to where we started: a new president-elect, and the masses scared. Only, this time it is a Democratic president and the population isn't scared of technology, but rather the people who use it.
What do I think will happen this year? Not much. President Obama (yes, he will be the president, any skeptics will have to just deal with it. Denial time is over.) will start a slow but desperately needed turn-around for the economy, but won't have it attributed to his name in the history books because it's too massive to fix in one term. There will be more terror, and the financial crunches will tighten in the world, even though people continue to purchase Apple products valued in the $500 range. More people will accept Global Warming and realize that the miniscule degree adjustments really do make a detrimental difference. New trends will grip the US. And people will still be dying in third-world countries of diseases for which we have cures abounding in industrial areas. So, yeah, for the most part, everything will stay the same this year.
This does't have to be the case, but we all know that and I digress because that's a rant for another day.
For me, 2009 shall be a good year. And if it isn't you ask? --- Then I'll make it one. From what I can see, I've got school beyond the clutches of the High School Monster, amazing (-ly crazy) friends, a family who loves me, a boyfriend who (unexplaibly) adores me, and the outdoors to calm my phillosophic, hyperactive, overanylizing, and obsessive mind on the days when things take a down-turn. So, yeah, I pretty much demand this year be good despite the bad.
As for the "new years resolutions"... I don't need a specific time of year to make me decide when to better myself, I can do it when I please, thank you very much.

A Returning!
Just for you, Unhinged! I have finally sat down to make up another blog entry.
Not much has been happening here, just the same ol' same ol' stuff. SSDD. So, I suppose I shall just ramble on about the randomenss of my life. Nothing special. Grandpa and my uncle have been "paying their West Virginia taxes" by going down there (remember, we live in Ohio) to gamble (a recreation Ohio has yet to approve). So, while they go down there, their dog, Camshaft, get tossed over here. This leaves our cats to go hiding downstairs in the basement with the door tightly shut to keep themeselves from becoming chew toys. Unlike our last cats who stood up for themselves against our dog (no longer with us) who stood up for themselves, these two are chickens.
For Christmas I got a brand spanking new laptop from Dell complete with fingerprint security, touch sensitive music keys, LED screen, and Windows Vista. Mom secretly started setting it up so that it would be all ready for me on Christmas morning, but then the touch pad stopped working. Easily, she attached a usb mouse and continued on... She typed in my name into the computer and it became a steady decline as the computer stopped working. All technology is repelled by my touch. It just stops working whenever I use it. But this, it couldn't even live with my name. So it committed computer suicide. So, I ended up finding out because Dell sent out a guy to repair it (which didn't work out well) right when I was home. So, the replacement finally came on Monday (a few days late for Christmas, but I was just as thrilled) and it's been one day, and I have it fully ciustomized. See, this is what a girl can do when she has no school hindering her time! Blogging and computer setup and reading (of course).
Also, because of my 3.2 gpa in my Kent classes, Mom surprised me by giving me her phone that syncs with outlook, has a full keyboard, and has Windows Mobile 6.1. It was Mom's most favorite phone ever. She went in to the Altel store with the intentions of giving me a new one identical to hers, but they had none in stock so she just got a new one and gave me her phone that was working perfectly fine. That is, until it was in my hands. Within ten minutes, nothing on it worked. I had only sent out one text message from it and it just died. Right there as we ate lunch at Taco Bell. So, we ordered a new one because this one couldn't go to sleep (the backlight turns off and saves energy) because whenever it did, it would STAY that way and you couldn't even turn it off. I had to take out the battery and replace it each time I went to turn it on! But, all is well. I have a new one and it, too, is fully customized.
So, there you have it. A breif overview of the mundane life of moi.
