Going to look at an apartment today with myself, Krisie, my mom, her mom and her dad.
This adult thing is so weird. I mean who do I think I am?.. getting myself a fancy apartment and a job and going to school and such.
The dude at school told me I was approved for my school loan and then I call today and suddenly they "don't know." Lameeeeeeeee.
I am so sick of stressing constantly. I cannot wait for all of this to be OVER and done and things be final and no more wondering.
I applied at the Paul Frank store. I have wanted to work there since forever, but there was never one near me. I dunno where else I wanna apply, mostly at cute places like that. I love cute stuff and would like to acquire more of it. You don't think I am moving 9 garbage bags of stuffed animals with me for no reason, do you? I will probably try places like Sanrio and the Lego store. Haha why am I still like 8 years old? My most "grown up" job was Hollywood Video. I mean I've only had two real jobs, but the other was Build-A-Bear Workshop and I couldn't leave that place without constantly buying stuffed animals and clothes for them like they're real people?

Tonight was a good time and I saw some cool dudes.

I've also never seen so many drunk people in my life.

Hmmm, livejournal update [23 Dec 2006|08:06pm]
[ music | The Smiths - I Know It's Over ]

Everything has gone fine with Columbia. I got in and took the tests I had to take. The only thing that I am waiting on now is if my mom got the loan that I needed, I'll hear back about that after Christmas.

Krisie and I have been looking at apartments cause everyone says that it is party central at school and that we shouldn't live there. Even the financial advisor told me that. :/ So I found this gorgeous place and I really hope that we can get it.

Ugh it's so beautiful! :( I am in love with it already. Once I hear back about the loan, I am gonna schedule a meeting to see it. I can't believe I am like a real adult now! Oh noez!

Krisie cut and redyed my hair while I was visiting her up in Minnesota. Pics after the jump.

Besides that, nothing else much has been happening. Just getting stoked on life pretty much. I just want Fall Out Boy's new CD to come out. I love the new video so much, it's ridiculously funny. The only bad thing is that the end makes me sad cause I miss the old days. Wahh.

[ music | Gravy Train!!!! - Laffin' All The Way... To The Bank! ]

Things I've done in the past few months:

Cut all of my hair off myself. You can see what it looks like in my icon.
I bleached it blonde, obviously.
At first I didn't like it, but now I loooooooove it.

I work at Hollywood Video. So awesome.

Things I'm planning to do in the next few months:

Right now I am getting all my stuff together to apply to Columbia College. I'm so excited. hsdf;lkwer;lk;sjdf;lkw;flkwkfoeir seriously. I just wanna go there so bad and finally be in college.

I really suck at updating this thing. And I really suck at life, too.

Life update:

I got a job at Hallmark, quit 3 days later. It was the worst place ever. Quit Build-A-Bear at the beginning of this month. Being jobless is super awesome. I got a Nikon D70s Digital SLR and it is my LIFE. I am in love with that thing. Been taking pictures at shows with it. 2*Sweet and The Hush Sound would be two bands that I photographed. I take a lot of pictures of everything now cause they just look so nice, but now I am bored and need more things to take pictures off. Mom unit got a job at U-Haul as the general manager. She's gonna be making the big bucks. We're moving downtown so that she can be closer to work. I am not complaining cause then I can actually leave the house since I am too scared to drive. Been selling stuff on ebay. Kids will pay a fortune for Fall Out Boy stuff. And no, I would never sell Fall Out Boy stuff that I loved. They're still my life. Just extra things. Been taking up drawing. Not so good at it. Trying to get my GED finally so that I can go to Columbia. Things aren't looking so good there. Time frames just don't line up.

I am eating onion rings from the BK lounge and they taste like cardboard and make me feel pukish. Ew.

People shouldn't IM me and harass me. You know who you are. :)

Dead serious.
Who wants to get an apartment with me close to downtown Chicago?
Not necessarily living on like South Michigan, but just close to the city.

Chuck Anderson. [15 Mar 2006|09:59pm]
First off, Chuck Anderson is a major babe. Too bad he's engaged. Anyway, I learned a lot from listening to Chuck speak and it really motivated me to get back into graphic design hardcore again. I haven't really been designing much of late, cause I'm just not feeling it, but now I am motivated again. I need to get a portfolio site together ASAP cause now I know what I have to do to get people to want graphic work from me. Chuck said that he never went to school which I thought was really awesome. He let people ask him questions and I just wanted to talk to a babe, so of course I asked one and it just made me realize I am definitely going in the right direction for life.

[ mood | excited ]
[ music | Filter - Take A Picture ]

Tomorrow I am going to Columbia College to see Chuck Anderson of NoPattern.com speak. It's gonna be so cool because he's one of my favorite graphic designers ever, probably my favorite and he lives in Tinley Park which isn't too far away from me. I am excited, I have never gone and seen anyone speak.

I am gonna start a graphic design webzine called Graphic D-Zine. Right now it's just a baby thought, but I am gonna make it happen.

So I went to Chicago last week for a few days with my mom and we got an apartment. On the 1st, we're moving. I'm not looking forward to this. haha. The trip to Chicago was just horrible cause my mom drives like a maniac and driving downtown almost made me have a heart attack. Anyway, our apartment is in Naperville, I can't wait to move in omgsdlfkweriouweioru;ldkfsdf Seriously, I'm so excited.

I got a new laptop and I'm at my mom's work stealing wireless right now. ^_^ I think it's the coolest thing ever. I'm kind of sad though cause I still love my old computer, my mom is just gonna use it now.

Um, besides that, I don't think there is much else. I never update this thing besides stuff about Chicago since that's probably the only important thing that happens in my life. hahahaha. Once I move, I'll update this way more I guess.

the sea is wine red, this is the death of beauty [01 Feb 2006|11:49pm]

[ music | The Hush Sound - Wine Red ]

bah I need to start updating this more, guess that means I'd need to get a life, right? haha

today I went to work with my mom and this dude came in and started talking about all this server stuff and how he needed to do this and that and he makes like 70,000 a year and I knew way more about computers than he did. it made me kind of hate him because he was just trying to swindle money out of my mom's boss. i hate when people aren't honest just to get money, it really bothers me.

oh yeah I went and saw Mark This Day, As Tall As Lions, Hit The Lights and The Spill Canvas the other night, so here's pics from that:

Chica-goooooooooo. [28 Jul 2005|11:27pm]
[ music | waking ashland -- i am for you. ]

I came back from Chicago today and it was a-mazing. I went with Brenna and her mom. We went and looked at Columbia College, now I have to go through all the crap of figuring out how to get in and pay for it and such. I am super excited. My mom said she's been looking for a job again in Chicago because my whole family is just really sick of Pennsylvania, so that makes me really happy. I just feel so much happier in Chicago, plus I like going outside just walking around, it's way better than sitting here on the computer. I think I am just gonna use LiveJournal from now on, GreatestJournal has too much drama and crap, plus I think I might like the people on LiveJournal better. I want to go to Chicago again next month, or like everyday. :)

I got some pictures this time, unlike in May.

I had a good time in Chicago. I got to meet HeyKate and she is so gorgeous. Chris is such a lucky dude. I also met Petey the Punk and he rules. ♥

I might move LiveJournals cause like 20 people have me added on here that are like dead journals and that isn't awesome.
