So, the universe is out to get me! The second I have money (I mean, whoah I think I set a record with the amount of money in my bank account!) life attacks me with stuff I have to pay for!
At first it was going to be a lot more than it really is now, but I guess life felt bad for me so it cut me a little break.
My new apartment I am moving into THANKFULLY is accepting financial aid early so I didn't have to pay THAT at least!
So let's see, how much money do I owe right now?
Well, first thing: I had to buy plane tickets to go to New Jersey. Michael's parents are paying me back for his half, but they cant until next week.
Next set back: Michael's car broke down about 15 miles from the Statesboro exit the other night (Thank God we bought plane tickets, right! We WERE going to drive his car to NJ) Again, his dad will be paying for it but not until next week.
Subtotal so far? about $800
Lastly, rent is due TODAY (along with pretty m uch everything else) Michael will still be paying for his half but this still puts quite a significant dent into my bank account! The good news is that I will be getting about $600 of it back :)
Oh life, how you keep things interesting....or stressful, more like.
I walked into work with that new (annoying) song by Keshia: My first kiss went a little like thiiis...............
ugh! and I told the girl Im working with it now we both have it stuck in our heads!
After reading this back to myself, I realize now why no one reads this! I guess I could be brutally honest about how I feel about everything and everyone (Usually it's not good things I'm thinking about some things, unfortunately) but I guess I care too much about other people's feelings. I don't want to be "that bitch" who causes all this unnecessay drama just because they don't normally get wnogh attention. And, honestly, most people overreact about what is said to them anyways. I really don't want to go through that. I will just keep my thoughts to myself...or keep them with Michael anyways. Poor guy, he has to hear me talk about what he thinks is meaningless allll day. haha

Karma Comes Back Around hahaha
For those of you who don't know, I despise my roommates. They decided a few months ago that they don't like me because I confided in them about a problem I was having and I didn't take their advice. Now, I give and get a lot of advice but I have never ever gotten offended when someone does not take my advice. Advice is there to offer another option that a person may not have thought of or give another point of view. It is not explicit instructions. Ultimately, I am the one who makes the decision...NOT them!!!
So ever since then, they have ignored me, which I don't mind because all they do is meddle into other people's lives and cause drama. I welcome the silence. I guess they didn't want things to go that way, because when I ignored them back, they got mad and started doing mean things to me! I kept my cool, and just kept to myself and that just made them meaner.
I knew the time would come when karma would come back around and I patiently waited until that day. That day came (for one of them, anyways) last night. It was AWESOME. Here's what happened:
A drunk guy backed up in a parking lot ONTO another car. One of the bottom cars was my roommate's car! I do not feel one ounce of sorry for her! This isn't the first thing to happen to her car either: someone etched "Fuck You" into her car last semester. It's just more proof that if you're a bitch, bad things will happen to you!
The rest of this drunk driver story is more interesting though: He backed up onto the car, got out and started running from the cops. The cops then tazed him and detained him, all while the drunk guy was mouthing off to the cops. This was very entertaining. Made. My. Night. The picture is above :-D.
That's the most exciting thing going on in my life right now!

Very Frustrating
It is 12:20 now and I was supposed to have lunch plans today. It was supposed to be an early lunch--12-1ish. Guess who I haven't heard from yet? Guess whose phone is off? Guess who is probably asleep? MY LUNCH DATE.
I am the most OCD person when it comes to making plans or knowing the time and when things start and just basically anything that happens to do with time or schedules. HE KNOWS THAT TOO.
It is very frustrating that now I am hungry because I was planning to eat right about now and I can't get a hold of the person I am trying to eat with. When does it become ok to make other plans? Should I wait until 1pm and then make other plans for lunch or should I just say "screw it" and eat now?
HE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME AND IT IS SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!! I hate when people are not conscious of others' time and schedules. It's ALLLL about them.
UGH.

Leadership
When does being compassionate turn into being walked all over and abused? When is it the 'sisterly' thing to do and when is it the right thing to do for the whole group?
The President of the United States or the Prime Minister of Great Britain does not run for those positions to befriend everyone or to make the whole world happy. They do what will benefit the entire people, even if that means that some people are not getting exactly what they want.
Sometimes people in leadership positions have to make very difficult decisions. Hours of planning, discussing, and sometimes arguing go into making these decisions so that these leaders can ensure that, in their eyes, the BEST decision is being made. The opinions of these leaders may not be the same opinions as you, but you voted for them to represent the whole group and to make these difficult decisions based on their opinions and experience.
How many people in the world don't vote in presidential elections but complain about every single thing the president does? How many people have the opportunity to hold a leadership position but do not embrace this opportunity and then complain about the decisions of the people who DID step up to lead the group?
The decisions of leaders are not always the easiest to make, but they make them in hopes to better the group they are serving.
Of course in a sisterhood it is important to be compassionate and understanding, but when does it go too far? When does this compassion interfere with the running and sustainability of the group?
Just something to think about.
"I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody." -Herbert B Swope, world famous Journalist during WW1
"Leaders shouldn't attach moral significance to their ideas: Do that, and you can't compromise." -Peter F Drucker, famous writer, professor and management consultant
"The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes." - Tony Blair, past Prime Minister of Great Britain

Abortion
Recently, a friend of mine boldly stated that if she were to become pregnant any time soon, that it would be no contest that she would get and abortion. I just smiled and nodded when she said this because I, personally, am against abortion 100% but I also believe that each person should make their own decisions. There are always circumstances in which abortion may be the best option but, to me, only in rare or dangerous situations should abortion be a top option.
Abortion should not be used as another form of birth control! If you claim that you are mature enough to have sex, then be mature enough the accept the responsibilities that often come along because of it. "I'm just too young" is not a good reason to have an abortion. There are so many other options!
First of all, there is adoption. I think that getting pregnant in itself is a miracle! It is such a beautiful thing that many people take for granted. There are so many people in the world that would do anything just to have this miracle happen to them but it never happens. They would be great parents and could support a family, but their bodies just don't make it happen. How could someone act like their getting pregnant is so horrible and want an abortion when there are people out there who can't get pregnant at all??
Also, I've heard or seen on pregnancy shows (like the show "16 and Pregnant" on MTV) that some girls think, "Oh, it would be so hard giving up MY baby for adoption! I don't think I'm strong enough!" Oh, but you're strong enough to kill it??
Sadly, adoption is often very expensive and hard to actually receive a child. That leaves many families childless and depressed.
Unfortunately, too many teenagers are getting pregnant and just whisking away to abortion clinics to "solve their problem" but I can't help but wonder if they'll regret it later on in their life when they have trouble getting pregnant because of the abortion.
Obviously my opinions differ from many people but I had to share it with all of you in blogger world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!
Hello blogger world!
First and foremost: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL! I know it wasn't the BEST birthday you've ever had (REALLY, who gives their kids chores and schedules a doctor's appt on their birthday!) but I'm glad it could be better because of me! =)
So, I'm leaving for New Jersey in less than 36 hrs! woo! I am so excited to see all of my cousins and aunts, uncles and grandparents! I'm also nervous/excited for Michael to meet my whole family =) I know they'll like him. EVERYONE likes him! Even girls I hate that make him cocky because they all fawn all over him! Hopefully I'll get a good tan!
The other day, we were talking about what we would do if we won a million dollars (or 60 million dollars cause that's what the lottery is like now) and this is what I've decided I would spend it on:
1. Pay off my whole family's debt. Except for any credit card in Gloria's name because I hate her.
2. Set up some trust funds for my future kids (I'll plan for 3 and see how that works). Hopefully I won't find out how many kids I'm having too soon.
3. Buy a new car!!!!!!! Probably and audi or a mercedes. I LOVE MERCEDES.
4. Buy a FUN car! (First, I'd try to buy my dad's '69 yellow Firebird convertible) If that doesn't work, then I'll go hunting for another firebird to get. Then I'd buy the new 2010 CAMARO. like the one in Transformers *drool*
5. Donate a lot to a charity of my choice
6. Make my whole wardrobe burberry and buy every kate spade purse
7. Buy a beach house, regular house, and mountain house near or at a ski resort!
8. Summer long or maybe longer trip around the world. I wanna fill my passport!!! and a few suitcases with souveirs
well, I think that's enough to spend it on...
I probably won't write again until after my trip when I post some awesome fun pictures!
Peace out!

SO HAPPY!
I'm so happy Michael came down this weekend! The past 2 months, I've been living four hours away from him and have barely seen him. When I have seen him, it's only for a couple hours at a time and usually only for a couple days. But now, he came to visit ME and we can lay in bed and cuddle as much as we want without interruption. =)
It's hard with a long distance relationship to keep that strong bond and connection that you have with someone when you're together. We managed ok but it's been hard. Our jealous sides have definitely come out. But now that we're here together, everything just fits right back into place and it's like we've spent no time apart at all! For the rest of the summer, I will not have to spend as much time away from him as I have at the beginning of the summer and I'm very glad about that. I'm excited for next year when we're living within a 2 minutes walk of each other.
I am so happy right now!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL. Happy early birthday too.
Sorry to everyone that I am so sickeningly and cutsy-ing-ly in love. I hope I don't annoy anyone lol
