Ok, I'm sick of getting in stupid wrecks. At least I'm never the idiot.
I was going to 4th street live to meet up with Megan for the Jake Owens free show they had going on. I was getting ready to park, was waiting at the light at Liberty & 3rd street, and as soon as we got the green light to go, this old gold junky car from behind me, gets into the left lane, speeds up ahead of me and tries to turn right as I'm going forward. Of course I hit them before I even realized what happened. Now I've got a bent/scraped bumper and fender above my left wheel. Last time that happened to the rear of my car it cost $3000 which insurance covered. Pretty lame. All they got was a minor dent.
He thought I was parked. Can you NOT see my brake light?
The guy got out of the car cursing a storm, and I thought he was going to come to my car and act violent, lol. I think the best part was them trying to talk me out of getting the police to come to make a report, and overhearing his passenger refer me as a rich white boy. LOL.
On top of everything just some more drama to add to my seemingly endless as of late bullshit. YAY.

Aww.. my betta died. :( RIP nameless-but-not so nameless betta buddy...I can't believe I kept a fish from Wal-Mart alive for almost 2 years, actually. That's gotta be a record, considering how dirty and in bad health the fish there are before you even buy them.
Thursday I drove down to Bowling Green around 6, and I got to see Tonie for a few minutes, and watched Grey's Anatomy ( I wanted to come see some more people but I didn't have time =( ) Then went to Christa's house and got up around 7 Friday Morning, and got ready and went to Gatlinburg.
On the way down to Gatlinburg I got a call about a resume I submitted, come short, I got an interview tommorrow.. temporary position, but supposedly it'll pay $14/hr if I get it, and the person who had it before got hired on full time. So, who knows.
Gatlinburg was crazy fun. There were 39 of us. We did all the normal fraternity stuff, and most of us partied/drank until 5-6 in the morning. There was a lot of crazy stuff that happened, people getting drunk and sick, good food, good times.
Saturday went shopping, went to Gatlinburg, spent to much money..but I bought myself a birthday present. I bought a hookah. It was totally random. And I love it. :D No pot for me though. Shisah tobacco is good enough. :D Crappy thing is I left a wallet I bought in Josh's trunk.
Sat. night was cool, the frat did senior sendoffs, senior roast (hilarious), and more drunkenness till way to early.
Sunday we all had to get out of the cabin at 9:15am to get to Apple Barn. After Apple Barn we went back to the mall so Christa could return something and then headed back to BG. We made it back to BG in 3 hours and 15 minutes.. it should've taken 5 hours.. lol. I slept most of the time.
When I finally got back to Louisville I found out I left a wallet I bought in Josh's trunk, and accidently got his dress pants mixed up in one of my bags. Oops.. lol.
When I checked my e-mail, I got an e-mail back from enterprise rent-a-car (i think the one on bardstown road) asking me to call and schedule an interview if I wish. I applied there WELL OVER a month ago.. so if this temporary job at GE doesn't work out, I have a back up plan. Always good.
Monday (my bday) I didn't do a whole lot, but get calls for my birthday.. and then went to Red Lobster with my parents/sister/niece (my neieces birthday is my birthday too).
I've had a pretty damn good past few days.
I still miss Rick though. :( Only 2 more months! Hopefully he gets his internet back working soon!
The rules are: Once you have been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird or random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 5 people to be tagged, list their names, and why you chose them to be tagged. Don't forget to leave a comment that says, "You are tagged" on their profile and to read your latest blog. HAVE FUN!..
1. I still think piercings/tattoos are hot, and I miss having my tongue, labret, eyebrow, and ears pierced. I'm in a forever debate about what I want to get for my first tattoo.
2. I'm very easy to get along with, I get along with everyone pretty well. I'm not the type of person to have many enemies.
3. Whenever I get anxious about something, I can't stand still for long periods of time. I tend to bite my nails if I have to be calm when I don't want to be.
4. I'm very flighty. I can't ever make up my mind. I never know what the best course of action to take is.
5. I wish I got a degree in graphic design and/or advertising. It'd have been much more rewarding to me in the long run, I think.
6. I miss being a college kid. They're right - when it's all said and done, you'll miss it more than you think.
7. I'm a perfectionist. I have to know exactly how something is done the first time, or I usually won't do it. I hate to mess things up.
8. I'm secretly addicted to playing online games. But I'd never admit to it.
9. I'm double jointed in several places (several places in my hands, legs)
10. I always make plans to commit to something and then a few days of doing what I set out to do, I tell myself I can't do it, even though I wasn't having any problems doing it.
Since a lot have been tagged for this I'll just tag...
I feel like I've done a few of these, but it's been at least a few months (weeks? lol)... but they're funny.

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.
Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)
Personality
You are more logical than emotional, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more cynical than idealist, more follower than leader, and more introverted than extroverted.
As for specific personality traits, you are romantic (86%), horny (61%), intellectual (59%), greedy (57%).
Stereotypes
Punk Rock
80%
White Trash
77%
Prep
69%
Life Experience
Sex
33%
Substances
35%
Travel
6%
Politics Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 78% of the time.
Socioeconomic Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Class. You make more than 73% of those who have taken this test, and 31% less than the U.S. average.
If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13. By the way, your hottness rank is 50%, hotter than 18% of other test takers.
You are a very emotional and sensitive individual. Your life and love of life is dominated by your emotions - you have great feeling towards your fellow man and you are always full of enthusiasm but be careful, you tend to let your heart rule your head and this being so, you could be easily hurt - as perhaps you may have indeed been hurt in the past.
You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image. You need for those people in positions that matter to recognise your potential and to acknowledge you.
You know what you want and you are very dogmatic and demanding - especially in your emotional demands. You have specific ideas and beliefs and if these beliefs are not realised you can become extremely frustrated. You may not be that perfect but you are looking for perfection with the perfect partner.
You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.
You need to be needed and would like a situation where you will no longer be subjected to pressures and demands from those about you. There is no harm in 'dreaming' but it is you - and only you - that can be able to realise those dreams and to turn them into reality.
Well, they finally posted a grade for that leadership studies class, after me constantly bothering them the past two days.
I never thought I'd be happy to receive an F.
But none of that matters, I got exactly a 3.0 cumulative from WKU and a 3.03 overall gpa. All I wanted was to graduate with a 3.0. And a 3.0 is exactly what I got. It's not the 3.97 I had in high school, but it's still commendable.
I guess I should call the registrar's office tommorrow to make sure they're mailing out my diploma. :D
Now it's on to more important things like finally looking for a job. Hm.
I got an e-mail from the Registrar's office today. It said that I have an incomplete course (Leadership 400) and that they need to receive the final grade by February 5, or they will have to withhold my official graduation date to May 2007.
Hell no.
That would mean I technically couldn't tell employers that I'm not a graduate, and that just poses a thousand problems for me that I don't want to deal with.
Last semester I was enrolled in LEAD Practicum to get my Leadership Studies Certificate. They never told me what I needed to do by certain dates, and toward the end I had everything done, but they said I needed to contact them in September to meet with committees and stuff to get my topic approved. When I was enrolled in Lead 200, I had to write a proposal for the topic for Lead 400. My proff in LEAD 200 told me himself it was approved.
Long story short, they ended up giving me an incomplete, so I could finish it by march this year. The registrar told me I would still be a graduate and that one course wouldn't hold me up.
They lied to me.
So due to a lot of miscommunication on THEIR part, I'm still a student.
So I've spent about 3 hours on the phone today with the Registrar and the LEAD studies center about all this.
LEAD studies center told me that the incomplete will turn into an F (which is all I care to get at this point) by MArch 16. Which would hold me to graduate in May. I can't wait that long.
I told the registrar this and they said they can't turn it into an F theirselves without the LEAD studies center sending in a change of grade card this week.
Then I called back the LEAD people and they said if they get time in their schedule they will try to get it in this week. Why do I doubt this will get done?
I better not have to drive to BG this week to deal with this myself in person.
If this doesn't get done, I won't "graduate" until May, and this will hold me back from any decent job that I want.
Speaking of which, I had woke up today prepared to start looking for one. But now I'm just going to wait a few days until I know this is settled.
It's been a few weeks since I've graduated, and just these past few days, it really began to sink in. Hearing about everyone going back to school, or back to Bowling Green in general because break is over sucks, because I won't be back for any decent amount of time. The more I think about, the more upset I get about it.
I'm no longer in school. I'll no longer have that "happiness" of going back to school. This is pretty much it. I can't look forward to going back to all of my friends, my job, classes, and everything else I've grown so fond of the past 5 years. I feel like college ended too abrubtly.
I'm starting to wonder where I pick myself back up. I don't know how to move on from here. Finding a job will only get me so far. My social life sucks here. I'm not sure what to do. How do I start over when I don't want to? Everyone I was friends with before I went to WKU are different people now with their own lives. Where do I start over?
I first decided to go away to school to re-invent myself and find a way to be happy with who I am. I feel like now that I'm back home I have to partially re-invent myself.
Maybe I think to much into things.
One things for sure, one of the only things that keep me happy right now is talking to Rick and getting to see him a few times before he goes to Vienna. I love that boy.
I'm usually to proud to admit when I'm down or when things are on my mind. I usually just put on a "smile" and laugh it off or immerse myself in something to get my mind off things.
I don't know..I'll find a way out of my rut, I always do.
It would be nice, though, if I could get some kind of feedback/advice..anything.
I redid my livejournal in the hopes that it might make me want to write in it again. I read through some of my old posts that I had put up on here. First, I haven't updated this thing since sometime in 2005. Second, why did everything I wrote in the past sound like something a whiney 6th grader would have wrote?
Hmmm...
Maybe blogging on here might be useful, I've had the itch to write lately.
