[Jul. 12th, 2006|11:35 pm] |
current time: 11:35 pm
current place: My bedroom
current mood: Bored, Full from dinner, Sleepy
current music: The Ataris-Between You and Me
general: Phenominal. Summer has been amazing. I went to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago and L-O-V-E-D it! If my finincial situation treats me right I will be able to go to San Antonio, Texas to see Dave's brother graduate from boot camp.
basics: I love life. I may be very tired from work and school but I figure I'm 21 and this is summer.
work: It is great. I'm not at Water Works/Atcher for the first time since I started in 2000. I may be an intern but its wonderful. I get to leave early all the time and get paid the hours like I was there the whole time!
education: 1 more day of summer school. I'm taking Spanish 202...thats Spanish 4 for all you kiddies that don't know. It is a blow-off class which is great cuz it is summer school and all.
family: I am happy with my family situation. I like living at home. My mommy makes dinner and I always have a place to sleep and don't have to pay rent! They told me that we are going back to Vegas for my spring break next year so we can gamble and have fun. Our lakehouse is so amazing! If you haven't been out there and want to..lemme know cuz you will love every moment there.
social: I don't have much of a social life. I call it responsibilty. I work early in the morning and don't wanna be smelly and late. I do occationally go out to dinner or drinks but its definitly not like how it was the past years.
romantic: Dave is my everything. He's my best friend and after almost 3 years of dating, I still get excited to see him.
book: I wish I was interested in reading. I should read but don't.
music: Alkaline Trio and Lawerence Arms have been my choice of music thus far
health: My allergies are back. I need my medicine so I'm going to the doctor next Thursday. I'm kind of a lazy ass and need to be motivated to go and work out.
random: I move into my apartment Aug. 20. I can't cook for shit but will learn in time. I really want to go to Texas next month. I'm thankful for everyone that I have kept in touch with in my life. I turn 22 in 3 months....some of my friends aren't even 21...I'm old. |

If you were or still are a Harper student then you know that at least once a week there is an accident on Roselle going North or South. Well yesterday it was my turn. I was on my way home from math class and mind you it was raining so the roads were a bit slippery when all of a sudden BAM! Now, I know what you are thinking..I hit someone. Nope..I got rear-ended. How about that...I've been driving BRNIGL for 3 years now and I get hit. FUCK. I'm ok and BRNIGL is okay too..She's a bit scratched up but she's a fighter and will pull through. But car accidents suck cuz while the cop fills out the report all you do is wait and wait and wait..mehhhhhhhhhhhh its shitty. But I'm sure its happened to just about everyone. |

| It's been a long time... |
[Jun. 19th, 2005|02:10 pm] |
So I have been a little moody this past weekend. So I apologize for my pissy-ness.
Friday- I went to physical therapy for my shoulder which I need surgery by the end of the summer. I tore my labral muscle on my left shoulder..so my arm has been in some pain lately. After that I hung out with Da, we went out for lunch then chilled at her house until we both had to go to work. Work was lame. After work, I hung out with my grandparents. They got a cell phone and had 9 messages from an insurance company looking for a Takia Jones...that is NOT my grandma's name. lol. So I deleted them cuz they didn't understand how to work their voicemail. Later that night, I hung out with Leanne. It was cool...we watched Wicker Park which is by far one of the WORST movies I have ever seen in my life!!!! Went home and went to bed.
Saturday- I woke up at 12 and watched "real weddings from the knot" on the oxygen channel. It was a marathon and I enjoy watching wedding tv shows. I have gone to 3 weddings in the past 3 months...and I still have one more to go..LEANNE's!! I watched it from like 1230-2...then I finally got up and ready for the day. Went to out and ran errands. That night was Brittany's graduation party..it was fun. I drank a few by the bonfire, I love summer nights like that.. Although it was freezing out last night! Went home and went to bed.
Sunday-I woke up at 12 had lunch. Watched some tv...and then came online..which is where I am at the moment. My family is visiting my grandparents at the retirement home..we are getting german food and bringing it to them. And that is about it for now... |

Star Wars Episode III = AMAZING!!!!
Saw the show at midnight..got in my bed at 4am (stupid traffic) for a 9:55 Sociology final...yesterday's tiredness was totally worth it!! |

It has been over a month since I have updated on this. I'm sorry for all that actually do read this. But I am alive and well. I just finished my first final of the week. I was done in 20 minutes, it was astronomy and that class is kinda hard. I think I did okay, though. I still have math, which is geometry and that is easy for me. I'm at 1:35 depending on what time I finish the math final. Other than that, there is nothing else planned for the afternoon. Maybe I should start my Humanities take home test..me and Lisa are hanging out later to do/check over answers on the test. Then tomorrow is my Humanities final and then at night is Star Wars!!!! (I'm very excited) Then my Sociology final at 9:55 in the morning and right after that I have to work. I am going to be exhausted!! But seeing Star Wars at midnight will be amazing..Welp..I guess I'll update for you all in a month or so! |

My computer at home has a virus and doesn't like to work any more cuz of all the pop-ups and internet not working...so if I'm online its prolly at someone's house or school. We are taking it in this week.
This weekend Lauren Sher became a married women. She looked absouletly BEAUTIFUL..once I get my computer up and running I'll figure out how to post the wedding pictures on here for all to see..I will prolly put one of myspace too. I cried, but not until she was waiting to go down the aisle. Her mom started to cry and then all the bridemaids lost it...I was her maid of honor and had to be up at the alter with her the whole time. It was a really beautiful ceremony. The reception was fun too..I drank a lot of amaretto stone sours...a bit watered down but they were good. Sometimes I didn't have anyone to dance with so that kinda sucked. :(
Dave WILL be at the next one so I have someone to dance with.
So I got one wedding down and one more to go..and that would be Leanne's. I'm excited about that one too. It will be a lot of fun.
This wedding stuff got me thinking...I'm truly happy for my friends and that they found "the one" but it is not for me right now. It hard to think hey..my friends are getting married..I could too..but its not for me yet. I want to finish school, get a full-time job, and live on my own. But I would like to keep that special around during that time too though.
Welp, thats it. |

[Mar. 25th, 2005|11:31 pm] |
I'm trying to get better at this. Today well...Friday consisted of work, dinner, and driving. I didn't lead a very exciting life tonight. Work sucked like usual. I didn't like dinner cuz I couldn't eat meat being Good Friday and all. ( I'm not Catholic so I could eat meat all the other Friday's of lent. ) And tonight just drove around towns with Brittany, Adam, and Brandon.
So its like 130 in the morning..and I was bored so I decided to look myself up on google...appearently there are many other Michelle's around. HOWEVER, the one thing that freaked me out the most was that this website I made SOPHOMORE YEAR of high school was up there. I TOTALLY forgot that I made that!! And then one of my pictures from Dudah's site was there too...and strangely enough..Tim Schram's livejounral !! I guess he mentioned my name in it somewhere. Definitely freaky...So if any of you want to find yourself, put your name in "QUOTES" and look it up. |

So I think my computer is full of viruses...its takes FOR-EV-ER to boot up and get on the internet. I'm sad about this cuz I don't know how to fix it at all. So if anyone would like to offer to services to help me out with my problem or tell me what might be wrong, I'm all ears.
On other news, tomorrow is my last day and then spring break!! I know everyone else has experienced their time off..but mine is about to happen. Although, it will be full of me working and sleeping in til like 1030, its better than waking up at 8am...well correction...my alarm going off at 8am me getting up at 845am.
School is going alright. School is school..although I think I'm doing pretty good thus far. I made a final decision and in the Spring of 2006 I will be going to NIU. I was thinking about going to UIC but I changed my mind. I have a lot of friends that go there already so why not. I have a roomate when I get there too..and the apartments are cheaper than the city. Even though I love the city..UIC just isn't for me. |

It has been awhile since I updated on here. But it's not like anything new has really happened. I go to school M-R (yes at Harper our Thursdays are called R)and on Monday and Wednesday I'm at school until 530ish. I come home those days and do hw or nothing at all. Anyways, I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. So my week is pretty full...kinda busy but not really. I am looking for a new job yet again. I want to have one for the summer. HOPEFULLY, no pool for the summer time. As amazing as it sounds trying doing the same exact thing for 4 years in a row! BAH!!
Anywho, Miss Amanda W. and Nikki M. will be gracing me with their presence the weekend of Feb. 12 and I am VERY VERY excited. It may be only a lunch but seeing them will make me happy. I hope to get out there in March and drive with a guy from work who will hang with his friends while I hang with the girls and then drive home together. So we shall see.
I don't see much going on for my upcoming weekend. There are new movies but honestly, I think the Boogieman with scare the hell out of me. Maybe I will go shopping. I tend to wear the same hoodies every single week. I try to rotate them so the people in my classes don't think I wear it only on the says I see them. I'm so fucking clever aren't I?
I need to take picture on my digital camera I got for X-MAS but I don't really do anything that requires a camera. I want a new myspace picture...cuz I hear it reminds someone of Stevie Wonder...LOL
Until then... |

So yesterday marked the first day of school. What can I say, school is school. This week I sit there and listen to the teacher talk for the whole entire time about things on the syllabus and quite frankly, I am so happy that it is over with. Not that I don't mind sitting there and doing nothing, but I get sleepy when they just continue to talk and talk and talk. All my classes seem to be alright. Nothing that exciting, altho this semseter is going to be challenging. I've got 17 hours this semester. So I will be busy with that and work. Hopefully, I can maintain a good GPA so I can go to UIC..in the spring of '06. Thats right 2006. Some of my classes didn't transfer to the university leaving me annoyed and at Harper for one more semester. I'm not too worried about it though. Dave will still be here as well as Lisa. With them I am set.
So what else can I say??
School and Water Works owns my soul until May. |

I'm back. I'm sure you all missed me too. My computer was fucked up but hopefully its fine now. I am back at work. My 3 week vacation of sleeping in and waiting for friends to get off work is offically over. My shoulder still kinda hurts at times but I can deal. I go back to school on Tuesday. It is sad..I feel like I didn't really do anything over break and it was a whole fucking month. Although, when I think about it..I didn't. I didn't see Nikki at all and Amanda was not even in Illinois. :(
My next count down is to spring break. I wanna go somewhere warm but I'll prolly stay here in Schaumburg. Oh well. I didn't really get to do everything I wanted to over break. No sledding or ice skating cuz of the fucking shoulder..damn you! I saw movies. I like those. As for now I am bored and in search of a new hair style. BLAH....I am bored. |

Goodbye 2004, you were a good year but its time to move on..to 2005!
I didn't do much on New Years considering that I didn't feel very well and didn't want to be around loud noises and crazy drunk people. At midnight I was at a gas station. haha. In the morning with a fever and a horrible cough and my nose decided that it did not want me to be able to breathe out it anymore. As of now I don't have much of a voice but I try to use it as best as I can. But whatever. I've got myself a "cough-do- cold"
My New Years Resolution is to be happy and not over analyze everything and to speak my mind when something is bothering me.
I got my workers comp. paycheck and it is prolly more than I would have made working over x-mas break....fuck yeah! A word of advice: get injured on the job so you can get paid for sitting on your bum.
Anywho, I have to go to physical therapy tomorrow which is not fun cuz it hurts.. but then lunch with Davey. As for now.....I'm tryng to get better. |

This is how much of a boring night it has been. I watched "The Sweetest Thing" again (it has been on comedy central lately)but i got it xmas. Then I went rumaging through old photo albums of the family since I was a baby. All the while waiting for all those phone calls I made hoping someone would call me back. nope. not a soul, that actually wanted/could anyway. So I watched some more tv then went in my room and found my old journal from my sophomore year up until senior year. It was weird cuz I remember all those adventures and nights happening too. But then I got depressed as I read it more. My really really close friends that I had in high school,that I hung out with every single weekend..we are not like that anymore at all. It makes me really sad. They were my best friends. I would go to them no matter what at any hour. Now I barely even talk to them. All of my nights were me hanging out with Amanda and Leanne. I was like high school ended and so did the friendships. We talked on occasion but its more like "catching up" or gossiping about other people or reminiscing. I don't think best friends should do that.
Ever since the beginning of college, I had to find new friends and try to work things out with old ones. Last year between September and November were the worst days, weekends, nights ever. I did not hang out with anyone. Amanda Whitsura was at Purdue. Leanne was at Eastern and our friendship pretty was much disappeared. Amanda was here in Schaumburg but was always with Matt even before they became offical. I felt so lost and alone.
It seems that when I can't find anyone to hang out with I get thinking and thinking is bad for me. I can over exaggerate anything but this time I'm not. I feel a loss between my close friends. I hang with all sorts of people now. People from work, Me and Lisa are really close now. And for sure Dave. And I love them to pieces. But it still makes me sad when I think how my life used to be with Leanne and Amanda. But, you live and your learn. And fucking go on with your life. It just feels like a shitty one lately. |

I have been pretty damn bored these past couple of days. I went to the doctor on Monday and he said that my rotater cuff is hurt badly and that I shouldn't work for the week. Which anyone would think..hell yeah thats bad ass. But no..my afternoons conist of watching tv and doing absouletly nothing. Which sucks cuz I could be out making me some money. I go back to the doctor next Monday and then he will tell me what the verdict is.
Other than my boredum..I hung out with Kyle on Monday and Lisa on Tuesday. Good times.
As for tonight me and Davey are hanging out and exchanging presents.
Welp, thats all.
