You rock my friend and last night was awesome! I hope that you have a great day and no worries...no such thing as getting older! <.grin>

Yesterday was a very productive day. Basically there is no more drama in my house, which I am so happy about. I still need some space and they all left this morning on the cruise so it shall be all good. But basically we put it all on the table yesterday and all miscommunications are cleared up. Good times.

I worked yesterday in the lobby and DRC. Had some really great guests and some really crazy ones as well, but doesn't that figure?

Jordan has been working the past couple of days and it was so good to see him in plaid again. The costume is made for him. He is so cute!

MaryAnn said I got rave reviews for doing my presentations at The Land. That makes me feel good. Yay!

After my shift, I was about to go home when Paul asked me to do a van run. It was this really great family and it was so nice to chat with them. I wish them luck in all they do. So nice!

After the van run, I had a meeting with Paul and then left to meet my brother at MK. When I finally got there it was *so* packed for the parade and fireworks. Took me forever to get to them, but then I got to see my niece and nephew, bro and sis!! It was good times! I miss them!

We got a bite to eat and then rushed out to see the fireworks. The kids loved it! Then went home to meet up with the buds.

Met David and Amy Jo and peeps at the Ale House for David's birthday! It was so good to see a lot of people I haven't seen in forever. It was fun! After the Ale House, we all went back to David's house for an after party. <.starts singing> And after the show, it's the after party, and after the party, it's the hotel lobby Good times! I adore those people. So much fun and so nice at the same time.

So Amy Jo and I left there pretty late. I got home about 4:30AM and my boys were still up here (mostly waiting up for me, according to them) and we stayed up chatting until 6AM then I headed to bed to wake up around 10AM this morning to get ready for another day of work. I am gonna be exhausted today, but it was worth it for all the activities I did yesterday. Good times!

I feel much better now. All I need to do is fix one more friendship and then get these stupid boxes out of my way and then I will be set. I need more space in my room. Argh!

I just want to say thanks so much to all my friends for their help and communication. I would like to also say thanks to Jocelyn for those uplifting words and wonderful message that made my day! You rock!

Everyone have a great day!

Drama!

Why do I have so much drama in my life? I don't want it, I certainly don't ask for it. Ugh!

Basically the past couple of days that were *suppose* to be relaxing and comforting for anything but. I was gonna relax and have fun...while getting all my stuff from the ATL delivered to me via my brother and family, but it seemed to cause more drama. That's all I am gonna say about that. I am done.

Being that these days have been quite stressful and crazy, I am not doing so well at the moment. I am pretty much upset and mad. Other than that, I am also sad because the realization of the fact that I am really on my own now and an actual "grown-up" (if you want to say that) has finally come to me just knowing that *all* of my stuff (minus my baby stuff) is right here in my room in front of me. Kinda scary.

So not-so-good times at the moment. I am not in the best of moods.

I think what I really need is to get out of this apartment for a bit. I have been in the apartment for two days straight, only leaving to take things out to the dumpster or take the U-haul truck back. Drama with that as well. Ugh!

I think I will be much happier this weekend though, because my roommate and all the peeps are going on a cruise...thank God (literally) I am not going. I could not stand to be on a ship with them right now. I need space. Right now.

Jane was at Target earlier today and saw Mr. Joey Fatone and family. Cute ey? Aww

So....I am equally excited about going to Gainesville next weekend to see the FYC boys (yay! It has been FOREVER) and The Curve boys. Excitement all over that!

Off to reorganize my bathroom and then head to bed. Work early tomorrow morning...then hanging with my bro and family. I am really glad they are here. I need them! I will chat soon!

Today I have been at Gateway with funny Carlos and Brad. They crack me up! <.giggle> Good times. Been hardly working though. It has been quite slow in the back of the park today. Hmm.

Jonathan is here! Yay. Saw him yesterday when I got home. It was a mini-reunion. With Leslie, J-dawg, Tye, Jane, Libby, Lowell, Shawn, Ting, and myself it is starting out good. Waiting on Jordan to come into town today (yay!) and then we will almost be set! A few others are missing, but it is helping to see familiar faces at this time!

J-dawg brought me presents! This incredible lit-up star that hangs from my wall. I am *so* excited! Also, he bought me a star candle holder (with candle) and star dispenser for my STAR-themed bathroom. So fun! Also, a star ring! He rocks!

After walking Leslie out, J-dawg "discovered" another piece of furniture to go with our "obtained" entertainment center. It is a NICE desk. Whoo hoo. We are gaining furniture little by little. My brother and fam are bringing the couch, chair, beds, dressers, etc tomorrow. I can't wait to see them, but it is gonna be hard work bringing all that stuff in, but we are having a get together to have everyone over to help. Yay! Also, our washer and dryer are coming tomorrow. Lots to do!

Today is my Friday and I am staying later tonight to keep Carlos company. Shall be fun! Then, tomorrow is "moving" day and then I have Friday off to hang with the family and friends! Shall be a good time!

As I was considering to interview for the future world tour guide position, I kinda got suckered into doing it for sure <.grin> Thanks Nina and Brad! <.giggle> But I am excited about it and think it will be fun times! Wish me luck!

Today I woke up at the bright and early (and annoying) time of 5AM to be at work for the DRC morning shift. After working DRC for an hour, I headed on down to do Pal Mickey. Very fun today!

I got to do the family of the day, which meant I got to choose the family and tell them they were gonna help us countdown for rope drop to begin everyone's day at Epcot. They were the Feury Family from New York and it was their *first* time to Epcot. Very cool! I had to introduce them and help them and the entire crowd countdown 5-4-3-2-1 to rope drop. It was really fun! I enjoyed it! And they seemed to as well!

After Pal Mickey, I got to do two more presentations about our Disney Show Translators/Pal Mickey for Cast Members at The Land and The Garden Grill. It was good times like yesterday, but they had a lot more questions about things that were not about what I was presenting, but I handled it. <.grin> Good times!

Brad wants me to interview for UnDiscovered Future World to give tours to guests. I am considering! <.grin> We shall see.

Michelle told me today that I am gonna be a trainer! I am so excited! I love helping people learn about what we do so I can't wait to be a trainer! Good times! She also told me today that she admired my geniuness and that means a lot coming from her. Good day at work!

I met our new General Manager (GM) today. He is really cool. Very personable and friendly! But also found out that Doug is leaving his training position. I am gonna miss him. He made our stay at Epcot so much better just being there and being our first welcoming for Epcot. But good luck to him! He rocks!

After work, I walked out with Raymond and we chatted about tour life and how he loved it. Good guy to talk with. Came home and took a nap for a couple of hours. I was beat. Now, up and going...trying to get some things done and then onto work again tomorrow...but good things are happening in the next couple of days.

Jonathan is coming tomorrow and Jordan is coming on Wednesday. YAY! Good times! I can't wait! I will talk soon!

Have a Magical Day! *g*

So I think I have obtained *too* many lyrics on my sidebar. It kinda takes up too much room. But they are so important to me and I *know* I am gonna keep adding to them, so I went ahead and made a page dedicated to just my favorite lyrics. They make me feel better. So here we go:

Good times!

Last night was good times. Went to the LBV Ale House with Amy JO and had some grub along with a few happy drinks. <.giggle> Saw Kevin there. He is leaving and going back to Texas. Sucks!

Ran into David and gang. Joaq came later. Good times! I miss those guys. Amy Jo seemed to be having a good time as well. I left early though cause I had to wake up hella early this morning for work.

I was still tired this morning granted, but it was worth it last night to see my buds again. Good times! Woke up bright and early this morning to work Pal Mickey for the first time.

I worked with Darren and it was quite fun, but really exhausting. We had to walk around the entire park and it felt like not just once but a few times around. Whew! Wore me completely out.

Cindy asked me to do a presentation for some cast members at The Land about our DST units. It was really cool. I was the "guest speaker" for their morning meeting. Good times. They asked a lot of questions and were so cool. I really loved it. Might do it again tomorrow. Excited!

After more Pal Mickey, I headed up to DRC and worked with Ben. Yay. I am gonna miss him. His last day is tomorrow. Sadness. He is a great role model and a great guy all around.

Came home and then ran some errands (grocery store when it started pouring and gas station) then put my stuff away and now am prepared to rest. I have to wake up at 5 in da AM tomorrow for work. UGH! Gonna suck. But it's work!

Listening to Amy Jo's CDs that she made me. I LOVE them! I can't get over the BSC ones! Reminds me of good times at Margaritaville! Yay!

My computer is being evil again. I am trying to make a copy of The Curve's new single, Problem, and it is not letting me. Ugh! *That* is why I am aggravated. Ah well. I am working on it!

To back track a bit, work was really good on Thursday. I had some really great guests. One was so thankful for our Armed Forces Salute ticket and he was so grateful. He kept thanking me and was so cute! Yay. Another guest was a guest with disabilities and he was so sweet. He had forgotten where the area the bus had dropped him off earlier that morning from his hotel. I helped him and he was so sweet thanking me, but he kept apologizing because he forgot. These little things make me love my job. Great day!

Plus, I was at the window with Stacey Patrone! I love her. She is so cute! It was a good day all in all. Went home and played Scrabble with Ting, Shawn, Tye, Jane, and Libby. Shawn and I were a team (Germans), Ting and Jane (Asians), and Tye and Libby (Americans). Very weird...but that is what we called ourselves. Tye and Libby won, but they cheated...figures...they were the Americans. <.giggle> All in good fun though. Stayed up till about 3AM playing and chatting. Good times.

Friday, I woke up early afternoon to meet Amy JO at Property Control and went to meet Tye and Joaquin at Jungle Jims for lunch. Then, Joaquin, myself, & Amy Jo headed to Epcot to ride Mission:Space. They didn't like it too much...at all. <.grin> Oops.

We were getting off the ride and I saw Jackie. She said Mr. Joey Fatone was on the ride 15 minutes earlier. Guess what shirt I was wearing that day? Oh yea. My *NSYNC shirt. How embarrassing would that have been if I had run into him? Quite! Ah well, thank goodness it didn't happen.

So, after playing in the park, Amy Jo and I came back to my pad and hung out with Tye. We obtained an entertainment center <.grin> (Shawn and Ting helped me obtain it and bring it in <.giggle>) and we put that together and fixed the place up a bit. It is starting to look like a real apartment. Yay.

Amy Jo and I got ready, then Leslie came over. We looked CUTE! We headed to The Social for THE CURVE! Great night. Saw the boys rock it out. Not too many real fans there, but I bet they all became fans by the end of their set. It rocked!

Even more awesome was after The Curve was The Rising and they rocked it out too. I am in love with their song Cradle. They were giving away free copies of their cd with three songs on it and I have been listening to it nonstop. They are incredible.

It is an incredible song. Love them! Good times at The Social.

Today is my day off. I did laundry, got costumes, ran some errands, trying to fix my stupid computer. Car is still working pretty good. Sometimes it is tricking me and acts like it is gonna mess up again, but then it rocks into gear. <.crosses fingers>

Tomorrow I work Pal Mickey then DRC. Should be fun like always. This weekend is family visiting, moving in real furniture, and party times with Jonathan and Jordan. Gonna be crazy and fun! Can't wait!

Last night we had Tye's birthday bash. Good times. Just hung out at the homestead and Libby made him a pencil cake. It was SO cute! Good job Lib!

Today is my Friday, how happy am I? VERY!

I am at DRC then Window today with Ms. Stacey Patrone. YAY! I am excited! I love the window and Stacey is the sweetest person ever!

So tomorrow is my day off and The Curve! Can't wait! Good times all around.

Seems I have started a trend...first Becca, then Jocelyn. Check out her cool new journal as well!

I hope you have a great birthday roomie! You deserve it!

We went out this morning to breakfast for Tye's birthday. Sean came into town this morning to surprise Tye. Very cute. We all ate at the clubhouse (Jane, Lowell, Tye, and I) with Janice and her cooking boys *g*! It was good times.

My car has been working perfectly. Thank God...and my parents! Good times with that! Work has been excellent. I am full-time and definitely feeling apart of the family. I think I fit in pretty darn well. I love everyone here and it feels like home.

My computer keeps going out on me, but I just have to reinstall everything. A little bit annoying, but fixable so that makes me happy.

Been working a lot, but my two days off this week are Friday (THE CURVE!) and Saturday so I can't wait to relax. Amy JO and I are gonna go around town on Friday during the day and hit Property Control and Mission:Space before her teaching begins and drags her down to a set schedule. Shall be good times.

I love your site Becca, keep it up! I have been checking it out daily!

Okay guys and gals I will talk soon!

Forgot to mention something that happened earlier today when pumping gas. Leslie was behind me getting her own gas and there was a homeless man trying to get a ride from a limo driver pumping his own gas. Leslie and I were chatting back and forth as we handled our business while these two guys on the other side of us were doing their's as well. We were all listening to the homeless guy chatter about and give people directions. The guys looked over at us and asked me about where the "red light district of OBT was" cause they weren't from around here.

I had no clue what they were asking, so I just kind of told them the direction of OBT. They started laughing along with my trusty friend Leslie....and then proceeded to tell me they were just kidding, they were from around here, they were just making fun of the homeless man giving weird directions. Come to find out, the "red light district" is supposedly where all the prostitutes hang out. Well how am *I* suppose to know that. <.giggle> It was funny though. What I want to know is, how did Leslie know that? <.grin>

Took my softball glove and ball back to the store. Probably won't be needing that anymore. Went by the bank to get my statement and to Verizon to change my addy.

Straightened up a bit here at home and went to get our mail. We got our first bill today. Not too bad for an energy bill. Happiness. And my car is still working. SO happy about that. The real test will be if it starts up good in the morning. We shall see!

Good news! *Finally* my car is fixed! <.knock on wood> I drove it all around town today and no problems as of yet. Happiness!

Today is my day off. Thank goodness. I needed it. I closed the window last night with Andy. Turns out I am on the alternate list for softball. Umm, I think I will pass. They already have enough players so I am out I guess. Oh well. Fun while it lasted.

Went to buy lunch for Leslie at Philly Connection today for always driving me around. It was fun! Then, went next door to Supercuts and got my hair trimmed a bit. It was getting too long.

Basically, I just drove around town making sure there were no problems and none as of yet. I am so much happier. Whew. That was a huge thing. I hope I hope I hope it stays fixed! Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and wonderful! And to Tye, Leslie, Madison, Amy Jo, & Mrs. Shoemaker: Thanks for all the rides! Ya'll rock!

Juliet called to say my schedule changed for tomorrow from lobby to window! Happiness. I love the window so much more.

Tonight, Leslie and I are gonna meet up with AMY JO and Grace at the Boardwalk and hang out. I think I am gonna run some more errands and play with my fixed car.

I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off me. Oh so happy.

This Friday is The Curve at The Social so I cannot wait at all! It�s gonna be so much fun!

So...when everyone *thought* things would be okay...they just get a bit worse.

Tye took me to pick up my "fixed" car this morning. The car place was running a bit late, so it was a lot longer amount of time took out of my day. I ended up being late to work...thirty minutes late. And I HATE to be late to anything, especially work.

Get there and pay, was told what was wrong, what was fixed and how everything should be okay. Drove it a bit from OBT to I-drive and everything seemed to be working okay, UNTIL I got to the beginning of the parking lot of Epcot and it stopped switching gears and shut off completely.

Here we go again.

I sat there for ten minutes before I called the mechanic and told him I was stalled. He said, "I knew it when you left it was gonna happen" and I said, "Me too." UGH! I am livid. Why can't anyone find out what the problem is and actually fix it? So...my car starts up again and barely gets me to the parking spot and then he said to bring it in and we would drive it around together to find the problem. I went into work and after work went to start my car. It worked for a little less than a mile and stalled completely with no hope of starting again.

Madison, my co-worker, was following me out and brought me home. Thanks girl! So now my car is in the Epcot parking lot. I am livid! Did I mention that?

But...good news to follow. As I was telling my manager, Nina, why I was late and my current car problems, she said she needed to talk to me. Guess who the most current full-time cast member in Guest Relations is? ME!

Happiness! I am still livid at the car situation, but that did help my day get better. And my sweet manager Nina gave me two Mickey candles. I really wanted some so that worked out so nicely!

I had some cute situations today in the lobby and some not-so-cute ones as well, but all in all it was a busy and hectic but rewarding day.

Don't have a clue what I am gonna do about my car. I am so bummed about it. I was almost to the point of thinking it was actually fixed and now this. What am I gonna do?

Tomorrow is the Grand Opening of Mission:Space so it's gonna be crazy at Epcot. I am in DRC and the window. Shall be fun! Busy Busy Busy. Wish me luck!

The past couple of days have been refreshingly wonderful and surprising.

First of all, I might be getting my car back today. AND it might actually work. Hooray! Secondly, I was interviewed for a Coordinator position for the special events that we have at Epcot for in the fall. AND got a second interview that I attended today. Just the interview itself was a step up for me and I am happy for at least that, but I will keep you all posted if I get it. Thirdly, MY Tonya has been in town with her mother AND AMY JO came in last night to stay for good! Happiness.

The day before yesterday, Tonya and her mom along with their two friends took me to Margaritaville for dinner and to check out our incredible band BSC. Rock on! They loved them! Who doesn't? <.grin>

Then, Amy Jo called yesterday and we, of course, went to Margaritaville AGAIN! Happiness. Good times last night at Margaritaville. It was like old times last summer. Although we do miss our other members of our crew. Come visit guys!! They played all our requests, Let's Get It On <.sigh>, Wasting My Time, and The Joker <.yay>! Happiness on all of those. AJ gave a shout out to welcome back Amy and Dave announced that we were the only ones responsible for them having pictures on their website. So true! <.grin> Love them!

Worked viewing yesterday after DRC and it was a really good viewing. I had some great guests who just wanted to chat and make friends and they were so cute! I really enjoyed them. A couple were parents of a new college program cast member and were too cute! Then, I had honeymooners who worked for the state and were talking to me about "our" jobs in comparison. They were so nice! I enjoyed them!

Jocelyn!!! You rock! I got the message! And thanks for calling beforehand to make sure I knew what song it was! You are cute! I loved it....It was a bit ruffled, but I could make out most of it! Thanks girl. I miss you! Talk soon

Got in late last night, but it was worth it! T goes back home today. Sadness! But Amy Jo is here to stay so I am happy about that! Wish T could stay as well. So...hopefully my car will be working today and be the wonderful car that it is suppose to be!

I will update soon!

Yesterday was some good times for the most part. I woke up quite early to head over to Italy for our Guest Relations group photo. I think it is gonna turn out well! I really enjoyed seeing everyone at the same time for once, like it was a big party. But a party all in plaid. Too much plaid in one area. <.grin>

They announced in front of everyone that I was a permanent fixture in their department now. <.grin> Everyone clapped and hollared. Yay! Good times!

I did some projects for Theresa and after DRC, Tye picked me up and we headed back home. Tye and I bonded and listened to music. I showed him why I loved *NSYNC so much and he really enjoyed the stuff I played him. Of course...cause who *couldn't* love *NSYNC!

Andy came to pick me up for our softball game. We played the WDW IT's and they were really good. I played outfield with some pretty cool people. I caught a few grounders, but my throws are off and too short (I need to work on that). But...I did hit everytime I was a bat and although a couple were pop flies, they liked it that I could at least hit the ball. <.shrug> I had fun! I don't really know anyone on the team very well except for Andy so I need to work on becoming part of the team. Favorite part though: Our team name is the GR Stars. Guest Relations STARS. YAY! STARS! <.grin> Loving it!

Still don't have my car. Although my parents said I *need* to get it fixed, so that may be the final decision to go ahead and fix it, but it is gonna be a lot more money then the car is probably worth. Sucks!

So today I work in DRC, then Tonya is here visiting so I am gonna go hang out with her and her mom. Then, Juliet's celebration tonight at Jellyrolls. Good times!

Sign the guestbook if you haven't already. Thanks Karen and Ting! Ya'll are crazy and I love it!

Well I got a guestbook today. Not sure exactly why, just thought it would be fun. So sign away...and let me know what's up.

Hung out with Leslie today. We went to Philly Connection yet again. Yummy. Then, back to Wal-mart, where I purchased cereal and a door mirror. Good times. Then, onto Michael's to return the access letters that Leslie had purchased in case she messed up with her original "RIDE" letters. We talked about the next shirt in progress for the next show. Good times!

Talked to B, my bro Jeff, and Jonathan today. Good times! Did my laundry today here at the apartments and met a guy named Shawn. He was nice. Thought I was pretty crazy though. Ran into Jane in the laundry room and had to finish her laundry cause she was late for the American Idol concert. They had front row. Hope they are having a good time!

Leslie is gonna take me to work in the morning. Up at 5:45AM for me for a 7AM picture...then work till 3:45. Gonna be fun times I am sure! <.grin> Ah well! It happens! I will talk soon..

Last night was awesome! Leslie and I went to meet up with Aimee, Jarred, and Theresa at Margaritaville and ended up running into AJ from BSC as well. He saw me and gave me this look like in shock that he ran into me elsewhere. It was cute! We chatted, they were gonna play a private birthday party last night so no Margaritaville for them that night.

We got free tickets to the show from the Some Other Life fans. Good times! Chatted and ate for awhile, then headed onto City Walk. We got there right on time to see some of the first band Berman and then for the second group Logic. Didn't really love either one, but they were okay. Just couldn't wait for The Curve to come on! I met some nice Curve fans in the front row. One of them is Mikey's tennis student. They were so cute! They had rode the bus from WPB to see them with about forty other of their fans. Cute!

So, Juliet, Jeff, Alex, & Jorge all met us there! Good times! I had two free tickets and after giving them to Juliet and Alex, I needed one more for Jorge and the awesome singer from Logic overheard and said that she had an extra. How cool was she? *g* The Curve rocked it out! It was a great show! They first played Freak Baby and played Ride a bit later so we got our songs played. <.grin> Our shirt songs at least! <.giggle>

After the show, we hung out a bit waiting for Some Other Life to hear a bit of them. They played the song I guess it's called something like Change that I like.

Went over to the merch table. I so wanted a t-shirt that said, "Driving to the beat of my favorite song" cause that is my favorite song of their's currently and they were *only* $10, but I didn't have any cash on me. So...next time!

Mikey saw us and came over to say hey. There were a couple of guys who tried to start a fight. Not cool people. Security was late in responding. Morons. But anyways Mikey liked my shirt. He said he wanted to wear it at the next show <.grin> and some dude took our picture. What I get for being crafty. Good times though.

I seriously live for last night. I live for seeing bands! My voice is gone, my body is tired and achy and I had the best time rocking out to The Curve with my friends! Good times!

Things I forgot to include in last night's activities:

-Got hit in the chest with Gary's drumstick. Thanks. *g* It kinda hurt, but I feel worse for the girl's head that it bounced of off before hitting me in the chest. Then, in shock I looked down at it falling to the ground and some girl went and grabbed it. Loser. Um, excuse me..did it hit *your* chest? I think not.

-These boys who looked between 12-14 were trying to start a mosh pit, when this buff guy comes up to one of them and tells them "yadda yadda yadda, do you *understand* me" and they fled, like no one could believe. He could have taken them out one by one. Hilarious. Good for him.

-Mikey threw his hot cowboy hat in the crowd. Why did you do that man? It is one of your many trademarks. Hmm...

-Two different girls threw their bras up on stage. One black bra and one white bra. The boys loved it. Random.

Still carless. Still freaking, but everything has been going okay lately. Gonna go see The Curve tonight at Hard Rock Live. I am excited!

Yesterday was good times! Tye took me to *finally* check out of the Commons for good. Good times doing that! Then, we went to lunch and chatted about important roommate issues and when driving back home we saw a Yard Sale sign so we went on an adventure. We found my bank that is much closer than the one I have been going to. Happiness. Found the "Big Sale" and "Yard Sale" and both of them sucked. Left quickly. *g*

After we came back home, Juliet came by to pick me up and brought us presents! She is so cute! She brought me a yellow lunchbox from Texas with a big star on it! I love it! Very cool of her. She brought tons of old pencils for Tye and I thought he was gonna pee in his pants he was so excited! *g* Good times! I live with a dork! <.grin> Love him anyways.

So Juliet and I went and hung out at her new place in Celebration. We went and got these aweosome breezers at Barnie's and headed to the movie theater. We watched Freaky Friday, which actually was *much* better than I was expecting. It was very good!

After the movie, we headed to the dreaded 192 Walmart which I despise cause it is crazy crowded and annoying, but I got a lot of things that I needed and it didn't hit the bank account *too* bad so all was well.

Came back to my place to unload and change for Margaritaville! Yay! We met up with Leslie and her *new* roomie Jackie who has heard of FYC, The Curve, Big Sky, I-4, and BlueStone Circle. Rock on girl! Also, stop by BSC's website and click on links and photos. Pretty cool, ey? *g*

Finally gave John his change from buying FYC's new CD, Wearing This Life. Saw my boys of BSC! They had quite the crowd. Met up with Craig, Jen, Amy, Andrea, and friends at the restaurant. Good times! Some nasty things going on around us...but made it all the more interesting. <.giggle>

Got home late and stayed up chatting with Tye. He had some good news! Congrats roomie! Me proud of you!

Got up early today to go run errands with Leslie. We got fairly lost trying to find the Michael's on Kirkman and when we were driving down the road, we found a Philly Connection. My parents used to own a Philly Connection in GA and so we went there for lunch and it was David Shannon, who my dad knows! Very cool! It was great to relive those memories again and I had really missed the food. Very cool!

Got stuff for our shirts from Michael's and Wal-Mart. Came home and applied our "RIDE" and "FREAK BABY" to our shirts. Cute! We are so excited to show our groupie-ness tonight. Good times! We are meeting up with Aimee and her friend Jarred here at my place and then heading to the Ale House to meet Theresa before going over to the Hard Rock Live to meet everyone else. Very excited!

Bought my glove today for softball. I am nervous though cause I may not have a ride there....don't want to have to quit before I even start. Ugh! I need a car. Grrr. Oh well, what can I do? Life happens. And it is certainly happening to me.

Tonight is gonna be fun though and tomorrow I have off as well. I needed it too. I was almost burnt out the past couple of weeks, stressing and everything. Will be good to rest tomorrow.

Update!

Basically the car is worse off than I ever thought, but my family and friends have been awesome. Got my car towed to another place to try and fix it. Haven't heard back yet. Cross your fingers for me! Thanks!

I have been the moocher lately with anyone with a car. But they all rock in helping me get to work! Thanks guys!

I got all my stuff moved in to St. Andrews and tonight will be the first night that I spend the night there. I was there early this morning so by the time Tye and, my temporary live-in roomie, Ting woke up, I was there ready to chat.

SO glad to be out of the Commons. SO GLAD!

Tons of stuff to do and get for the apartment but it will be fun. My bro and fam are gonna bring down the furniture at the end of this month. How happy am I?

Heard from our boys yesterday. They are well! Glad to hear their camp tour is rockin! Can't wait until they come back though! I am going through Fifth Year Crush withdrawal.

Other than that I am dealing. Don't know how I am gonna get to work tomorrow, but I am taking it day by day and trying not to freak without a vehicle. Ugh!

One Word: Livid.

Leslie and I just got home. The plan was for her to pick me up at work at 9:30PM, head over to the upsetting AAMCO and pick up my second time "fixed" vehicle. First of all it took twenty minutes and an entire can of carborater spray and a gallon of gas to get it started. Then, we made it all the way to the second light down from AAMCO when it stopped switching gears and went dead on me.

To make an extremely long story shorter and a night which was horrible..a bit better...I will just mention the highlights. I had a very nice person stop and try to help me unscrew the bastard of my evening: the transmission fluid cap. The same cap that I keep hiding in my hood, and the same cap that is still being replaced by the stupid AAMCO people and put on tighter each time. Needless to say, I put all the caps in the key drop when my car was back to AAMCO this evening or morning I should say.

Also, one other gentleman offered his assistence, but it was apparent no one was unscrewing this cap. Two policemen came by and tried as well. No luck, but they did push me out of the road and into a marketplace by a Deli. Great help boys. Then told Leslie and I to go somewhere else to wait for the tow truck cause we could be robbed on the ole OBT...great! Wouldn't that just make my night.

So we call the tow truck and they were there so quick (love you Wayne) and he got the cap off with the help of my newly purchased $5 screwdriver (after waiting at the Mobil Gas Station) and even so, the car would not function with my added fuel. UGH!

Wayne towed my car to the dreaded AAMCO and I left them a pretty upsetting note along with my key and the three fuel caps. Think they will get the hint? I don't want ANY MORE CAPS ON MY LID!

Regardless, this entire night has been a nightmare and I literally broke down. It may be a small lesson in the life of Carolyn, but this is one that has been the biggest by far in my life as of yet and I am not happy about the entire situation. It would be one thing if AAMCO would just say that they can't fix it, but this whole "it is fixed" crap is pissing me off.

I know this may seem like a small problem in the big picture, but I am livid with my car, livid with AAMCO, and livid with myself for not having a full time job to buy a new one. I should be happy with the time it did give me, but I'm not. I am just a spoiled person looking for my $500 worth of "fixin" to my car from these jerks. UGH!

But I want to take this time to also thank my wonderful roommate Leslie for going through all that with me and for keeping me sane....while crying, laughing, and bitching, literally...Thank you! I don't know what I would have done if you had not been there....probably still stranded on OBT. What fun that would have been.

I am going to bed. I am tired. And tired of being mad.

So....Leslie took me to work today <.thanks> and went to work. It was good times like always.

Then..Leslie picked me up and we came home to grab my car to take to the horrid AAMCO. I was putt-putt-ing down the stupid street when I had to stop twice within a two mile radius. I hate my car sometimes. The first time I stopped, Leslie was following me and stopped with me and still another driver stopped to see if I needed any help. I love Floridians! What was so cute about it, was that they were like, "We don't know anything about cars, but we can send someone to help if you need it" So cute! Aww, good people! <.I *almost* called them "guests"> Geez....Disney is getting to me. *g*

So then after FINALLY getting enough transmission fluid in my vehicle, it *finally* made it to OBT to the horrid AAMCO. Thank God..literally. So then Leslie brought me back home. I feel so much like a nag and a pity party. I hate having to depend on people, but then again it is nice to know they are there to depend on. Thanks Leslie, Tye, and Jane for the rides and support! We are going out to dinner *when* my car is fixed.

On the way home, Leslie and I thought of new shirts we are gonna make! Can't wait! It's a *SUR*prise! <.giggle>

So this week, I am working, getting my car fixed <.crosses fingers> and gonna get ready for this fun weekend of bands! YAY! I have an entire weekend off! Yay. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday! Good times! What am I gonna do? Move completely into my new apartment and organize!

So, Jonathan is coming very soon! I can't wait! He is coming August 26th and staying until they all go on the cruise. Good times, but no painting my friend. No painting. *g*

Okay onto bed...and work tomorrow...and con't-ing on.

Craziness yet again. Everything has been crazy due to my schedule. Moving schedule. Car schedule. Work schedule. Ahh!

Last night on the way home Jane gave me a ride on her scooter. It was fun! We were both all dolled up in our GR gear and scooting down the street. It was hilarious. Tons of people were staring...cause we were that cool! *g* It was good times!

Basically, the past couple of days, I have been getting my car fixed....however my car is actually not fixed. I picked it up this morning and hmm...today it is doing the same thing it was doing before I took it to the AAMCO. Therefore, nothing was fixed. Yet it was a very expensive nothing fixed. Needless to say...I am upset!

Besides that....I have been moving most of my stuff into my new apartment. Very exciting. Tye is already pretty much moved in and we have Sean and Ting living there until Monday. The only furniture that we have is a table and chairs from the villas that Tye got at Property Control. Good times though. We both have the $14 beds that inflate...happiness.

Our apartment is really cute. I enjoy it. It is a bit small, but perfect for all that we need. Good times!

Andy asked me the other day to join the Mickey Allstars Team. Yep, I think I am gonna be playing softball again...and this time...it's for Disney. Fun! I can't wait to start. I need to brush up on my game though! Whew..the pressure. There is a lot riding on this...they have a team that has been playing for awhile now...I am in the newbie...hope I can do okay. It has been *so* long since I have played though. Oh well. We shall see how that goes!

Talked to Mikey last night. He had a lot of cool things to say about the future shows. All of them are not completely set up yet, so I can't say, but I am excited to say the least! YAY! I am excited for The Curve, but it sucks that one ex-member won't talk to me about it. Guess it's for the best though.

So...tomorrow I have to go back to work. I am taking my car *back* to the sucky AAMCO on Monday and then finishing moving in on Monday night. Leslie is moving out on Monday as well, so I stay my first night at my new apartment on Monday! Yay! Excitement!

It will be a good week! It has to be. So many other things have gone wrong...I really need a good week!
