I just got a shit ton of money for designing a christmas card - hoora!


Despite not having posted here in a loooong time, nothing is really new! Planning a road trip in December after graduation, won money on my birthday, doing portfolio work, got a new couch for the den area, have a lot of interviews for my first full time design job, my mother just got scuba certified for everywhere....(she's crazy, lol), and that's about it!


Ms. Stephanie have fun in PA this weekend - we don't talk anymore but please be careful anyway.

Geeeebus!

Backstory real quick. Daniel's Mom's parents divorced and both remarried. Her father and his wife are both in homes right now 'cause of terrible health conditions and she had to go down there for several weeks to take care of them and sell all his stuff and it was a mess for a long time. Not long after her mom's husband's condition also got really bad and he died. Again she had to go back down there to take care of everything. She's in charge of all the money for each side and is taking care of all this stuff from Colorado, which is really stressful. They live in South Padre Island, Texas....

...turns out that the hurricane is headin' right for em. >_< I feel so sorry for his mom...the shit just keeps hittin' the fan for her.

Current Mood: blank

I guess my roommate paid...he stopped by today, leaving the receipt for a money order. I'll go in tomorrow morning to make sure it was taken care of. WRAR!

Finals are this week. I had a hard time paying attention this weekend to them. All I wanted to do was - well not homework that's for sure. I got them all done today. Tomorrow is printing and putting together day. Wednesday is mounting and making sure everything is in order for Portfolio. Thursday is dress up and present everything day. Friday is a trip to the obgyn...new gyno! Now we will see if I'm all okay inside >_< I forgot I had the appointment on Friday and had made plans to go get tubs from mom and hang out with Dan and his family all day. Now...I have the appointment, hopefully Dan can get the tubs and still hang out with his family. Going to start packing this weekend. I have a lot of packing to do :( I want to get everything packed up by next Thursday so the old roomies can get their arses over here and clean. We're planning on moving tubs over next Friday morning and then my brother is coming down with the stock trailer to haul furniture that afternoon after his class. Dan's dad should be coming down too. I feel sooooo sorry for my brother. He moved me in here a year ago. I went from the first floor duplex to a 2nd story apt and now to a 3rd story apt >_< I'm sure he hates me. I remember him saying I could find someone else to move me after we got done last year, lol. I called and told him to bring friends and I'd have "beer and pizza" handy. har har.....actually if he DOES brings friends I so will go out and buy them....and then they will all stay in the new apt 'cause I won't let them drive a huge truck and trailor home 3 hours :P

So that's my life...very...blah. Finals and moving go me!

Karen's birthday is today...and I just gave her the news of possibly going to court and screwing up all credit we had and will ever have....what a fuckin' shitty ass day...

I got this letter in the mail the other day from Comcast, our tv and internet provider saying we owed $195....I was kinda in shock since I remember writing the check last month (we owe about $90 per month) and I knew Karen had written a check and Anthony had said he turned it in when I asked him. The only reason he would turn it in is 'cause the two ladies pay with checks and he pays with money order and for some reason it always takes him longer to get it so he just goes and pays. Well...I called Anthony and asked him if he had paid the bill for last month (I remember asking him the next day if he had paid it and I remember him saying "yes"). I get a long pause on the phone and a "shit" -- meaning he didn't pay. So Karen's and my check are floating around somewhere. He went and put $100 down on the bill (supposedly), leaving the rest for Karen and I, which was fine as long as it got done. I went into Comcast today with a couple blank checks, found out he DID put $100 down (holy shit!) and so I divided the rest for Karen and I.

While doing this I had decided I was going to stop by the Apts and kind of check to make sure what Anthony had told me was correct. He had told me that they were suppose to call him back one day. I told him to just give them a call. The next day he said they were suppose to call him back in the afternoon. This was all about the money he didn't pay for last month (read previous entries). I got ahold of the Apt. Manager and she looked up all the info and got our file out and said that they weren't suppose to call him. I was like..."yeah I figured." When you owe money, you owe money...there usually isn't a negotiation of paying it or not. So I talked to her and got the low down on things he didn't tell me. The bill is now up to $696.08 and will go up another $10 tomorrow. Tomorrow is also "D" day...meaning if it's not paid tomorrow we all go to court. I mean ALL of us go to court. Including the people that paid rent and my mother who cosigned with us. I'm kind of on the verge of tears right now because I'm dumbfounded on what to do. I called Karen and she was absolutely pissed. She's moved out already - in with her aunt. He's basically home in another town with his dad right now looking for a job. I am here with Daniel and if we go to court they kick us out of the apt meaning we are homeless for a couple weeks. We don't move into the new place till the 30th....


WTF am I suppose to do....

Seriously I want to cry.....

Current Mood: frustrated

I just found out that my dear friend Eric's father is in ICU....I know the entire family really well, they're neighbors back home. His appendix had burst without him knowing (granted I'm sure he felt pain) and it doesn't seem good. I don't know much more other than he's in ICU.....\



EDIT: I just got off the phone with Eric and got the whole lowdown. I guess his appendix burst Aug. 29th which is a LONG ass time ago. He had thought he just had salaminella and it got better....I saw him at the wedding I went to the other weekend. He didn't stay long because he wasn't feeling good...didn't eat the following day and slept for like 2 days straight...then they took him in. Now he's in ICU...Eric was just on his way to see him. His liver is starting to shut down :( :( :( :( That makes me want to cry! I hope he gets better. His lunges are doing better, but his liver isn't. I called my brother and mom and told them what was going on so they can hopefully deliver cards, flowers, balloons, and what not. God I pray that he lives through this.

Current Mood: sad

So American Idol is this weekend...Registration was today, tryouts are tomorrow. Had to get up at 4:30 this morning...sat in line forever >.< There was this really crazy guy in front of me that was yellin' and screamin' and was so not afraid to go up to people and ask them questions. There was a girl and her b/f sitting diagonally from me watching a movie on a portable DVD player. I had noticed her before since they were the only ones with something to do. She was gorgeous! Beautiful African American. Anyway...said crazy guy went up to her and was like "were you in a TV show?" and she said "yes, Half & Half." I haven't ever heard of that show, so I went online when I got home and looked it up

http://www.celebritypicturesarchive.com/pgs/e/essence-atkins/essence-atkins-pictures.htm

That's her...kinda crazy! She's been in a couple movies and TV shows. Kinda cool...however she's too old to tryout, so I'm guessing maybe her b/f was trying out? no idea.

Current Mood: Headache from hell

rofl...I found this extremely humorous...


HOW TO SHOWER LIKE A WOMAN

Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks, Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - make mental note to do more sit-ups/leg-lifts, etc. Get in the shower. Use face cloth, arm cloth, leg cloth, long loofah wide loofah and pumice stone. Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added vitamins. Condition your hair with grapefruit mint conditioner enhanced. Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until red. Rinse conditioner off hair. Shave armpits and legs. Turn off shower. Get out of shower. Dry with towel the size of a small country. Wrap hair in super absorbent towel. Check entire body for zits, tweeze hairs. Return to bedroom wearing long dressing gown and towel on head. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas.


HOW TO SHOWER LIKE A MAN

Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile.Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see wife along the way, s hake wiener at her making the 'woo-woo' sound. Look at your manly physique in the mirror. Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your behind. Get in the shower. Wash your face. Wash your armpits. Blow you're nose in your hands and let the water rinse them off. Fart and laugh at how loud it sounds in the shower. Spend majority of time washing privates and surrounding area. Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs stuck on the soap. Wash your hair. Make a Shampoo Mohawk. Pee. Rinse off and get out of shower. Partially dry off. Fail to notice water on floor because curtain was hanging out of tub the whole time. Admire wiener size in mirror again. Leave shower curtain open, wet mat on floor, light and fan on. Return to bedroom with towel around waist. If you pass wife, pull off towel, shake wiener at her and make the 'woo-woo' sound again. Throw wet towel on bed If there is anyone among you who d id not laugh at the truth behind this, there is something so very wrong with you!!

I went into see the manager of the apartment complex and we had everything paid for this month. HOWEVER....there wasn't a payment made for last month (Aug.) Which PISSES ME OFF TO NO FUCKING END!!!!!!!!! According to their record there is payments from 2 checks which is Karen's and mine. Anthony pays in a money order and it was never turned in. I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL ANTHONY!!!! Also, the manager said there had been a collections notice LAST month which I never received. There was also a note in response to my water bill letter last Friday, again I never received it! So normally individual people pay like $389 or something but since it hasn't been paid there is a late fee of $140 or so. SO FUCKING LAME!!! The letter about the water situation stated that we were going to get a credit of around $400 if the balance was paid by 9/3. Well guess what! It's 9/7 meaning it's null and void. I got ahold of Anthony and according to him he paid it and has the stub. He's not here, tho...but he's coming to talk to them. Seriously, this shit fucking pisses me off BECAUSE my name AND my mother's name are the ones getting soiled here. She had to cosign 'cause one of the roommates didn't make enough. WRAR FUCKING WRAR. I don't know whether to believe Anthony or not 'cause he has a tendency to ...lie. I am so glad I'm not living with him soon. I should have known that things would get fucked up when he left his last roommates to move home and never paid the remainding months of rent.

Current Mood: Pissed the Fuck Off

We just got a collections notice on our door stating that we haven't paid $516.08 on this month's rent.

First off.... We pay $1122 for a 3 bedroom...3 people. Now we have 4, so it's divided by 4. $1122 divided by 4 = $280.50. Now I paid double for Dan so my check was for $561.00. Karen wrote a check for $280.50 and Anthony got a money order for that amount. We added waterbills in there as well so it was a little more then that on each. I have added, subtracted and done all sorts of crazy shit to try and come up with the amount they say we didn't pay. It doesn't make sense. I've even tried not putting the water portions on there and $516.08 still makes no sense! So I'm really confused.

To top it off they owe us almost $1,000 from past waterbills that were too high and completely screwed up. So for them to take an amount of money that doesn't make sense to a collections place without any other warning or notice pisses me off to no end. You can bet that I will be biting people's heads off tomorrow when I walk into that building. And I plan on walking in there as soon as they open to not only tell them they are fucking stupid and can't add but to also get my fucking money back and our names scratched from this collections place. FUCK YOU Champions Park...I hope you buuuuurn.

In a Past Life...

You Were: An Arrogant Monk. Where You Lived: Tibet. How You Died: In Childbirth.

My old next door neighbor back in Wyoming got married yesterday (Sat). He had graduated 2 years before me, went and did 5 years in the marines and is now back. His new wife is ADORABLE! She's from California and so cute and friendly. She doesn't seem like a Californian...she fits into the lifestyle of rancher very well. Saw a lot of the community at the wedding which was nice. Many people I haven't seen in forever. Found out my friend Abby is over in China where a Tsunami is about to hit. People should stay in the middle of the US! lol. She's studying abroad and has been there for about a week. I'm jealous! I want to go there! Minus the Tsunami of course.

Got an update on Lorna. She finally got through on her cell phone. All of her belongings she has left are in her car and she's having to walk around with a gun because it's THAT insane down there. Groups of people are actually going into factories and buildings and taking them over by force, making the people seeking shelter there leave. How retarded are people? Anyway, Lorna doesn't have enough gas to get anywhere to get gas so she's sort of stuck down there which sucks. She's sleeping in her car, having to guard her stuff with a gun. Her father just had a heartattack and is in the hospital so they can't go down and get her. Her brother has classes every single day and I don't think he can miss that much. So the family is sort of in a world of hurt. I wish I had the time to go down and get her myself! Luckily he had a heartattack at his house. His cows are in our pastures and he had been at our house working on the coral, but it didn't hit till he got home, luckily. So Lorna is stuck in Mississippi worrying about her dad in the hospital - her parents are stuck in the hospital worrying about her having to roam around Mississippi with a gun.

How freaking terrible is that!!


On a side note, American Idol tryouts are next weekend. I plan on trying out ;)

Current Mood: nervous

Well...mom called me and let me know that she ran into Lorna's family the other day and they haven't heard from her. Which is kinda scary...I know the power and phones are out down there, but she has a cell phone..... She lived right on the coast...the beach of Mississippi was her back yard...I hope she got out okay. She's originally from Texas and then Wyoming, so I don't know that she's all up on hurricanes - I know I wouldn't be! Hope she's okay :(

Current Mood: blah

Wow......

Current Mood: sad

I called mom today to see if she had contacted Lorna's family at all. She had completely forgotten Lorna moved down to Mississippi too! My brother is best friends with Lorna's brother, so I left a message on his phone asking him to call back with some numbers so I could get in contact with them all. She moved to the coast of Mississippi >_< Hope she's okay!

I have another friend I went to college with in Louisianna. I think, however, she's located more north west, in which case she might have only gotten heavy rains and not the brunt of the storm. I had tried calling her awhile ago, but all her numbers had changed, so...again..I had to call someone to try and get her number! Hopefully I'll hear back from people today.
