So I've discovered something tonight about my cat. He is PUSHY!!
Ever since I had to go away for a week, he's afraid I'll leave him again every time I walk out of the apartment. When I come home his says, "meow merrow meow meow" which in kitty language means, "Pick me up, love me, why did you leave me, hey."
He was so pushy today that he demanded I pick him up and hold him while I removed laundry from the washer and placed it in the dryer. Men...pffffft. After I changed over the wash, I placed him on the floor so that I might fold some of the clean laundry. A sock fell off of the dryer onto the floor before him. That's when I discovered I'M crazy....
I quicky reached down and snatched the sock off of the floor and said, "hahahaha...see, you'll never be quicker than me for I am on the top of the food chain." The moment those words came out of my mouth I paused and thought, " this is it, I'm officially the crazy cat lady. Here I am challenging a cat about his level of superiority in the circle of life. I.... have..... no..... life."
Despite that sudden epiphany about myself, I proceeded to the kitten and started to make dinner. And no, I can't cook dinner while holding a cat, so I left him on the floor. He said, "Merrow, merrow, meow rrrow, rrow," translation, "what are you doing, why aren't I being held, stop doing that, hold me." Obviously I didn't....he jumped onto the kitchen counter for the first time in his life...I was so shocked. I immediately put him back on the floor with a stern NO and continued working.
He then tried to challenge my authority by bending the rule. He didn't jump directly from the floor to the counter, he climbed a chair in the living room and leaped the expanse to the ledge above the counter, slid off because of the trajectory of cat verses small ledge and angle, onto the counter to the floor. Then, he jumped on the stove....NOOO I yelled, DANGER (it was hot).
I offered a piece of chicken as a piece offering to which he sniffed at and left on the floor and said, "Raaaow." Meaning, "Toooo many spices." Oh well....right now I'm eating my too spicy chicken dinner with a cat in my lap complaining that I'm eating and not petting him.
What are y'all doing?
Am I really that crazy cat lady?
Ta ta for now!!
I'll add a picture of him later!!

Lets not talk of the past
I thought about catching everyone up on what happened between the saga with damien, college, and starting work at GE....but who cares about all of that?
Today I started my diet and I discovered I'm not an egg white fan. The trainer said I had to eat them and I did. Let me just tell you that they are not tastey. After consuming six small meals in a day I have found that I was never hungery during the day. When you eat every 2-3 hours, your tummy never growels.
Measurment and weight as of 1/21/2009
Shoulders: 45"
Waist: 32"
Hips: 44"
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 179
BMI: 27.5
I know, I know...those are bad, but I'm trying!!!! I am dieting and working out 5 days a week. Do y'all think I can do it?!?

Finally caught-up
Well, I decided to move my "old" blog over. Notice the dates of all of the previous posts.
New Post:
I am once again trying my diet. I can't stand the way I look so I am trying to fix it. Salad, chicken, and almods...oh and TONS of water. I'm also watch the 1 Ton mom on TLC....it motivates me. It's not that I am shallow...but the world..oh the world. I had 1 boyfriend tell me that I was the perfect candidate for liposuction...ouch!
I'm tired after all of the transferring of data...I think I'll try posting again tomorrow and maybe catch everyone up on my life story....it's a drama!

A little bit of catch-up
January 03, 2007, 00:32
Well, I've had quite a year. I guess the biggest difference is the jump from the last message to where I am at now. I have been unhappy in my relationship for a while I guess. I tried to tell myself that things were ok, but looking back on the things that happened during it...I've come to realize that they were far from it. Everytime I get sad about the break-up between Damien and myself, I just think about the following events:
I remember one insident where I spilt some orange soda on the carpet by accident and he fliped out on me. He'd go into the kitchen and take shots because he said that he had to in order to deal with the situation (A PROBLEM in itself). Then in 10 minutes of time he smashed a shot glass, ripped the VCR cord out of the entertainment center, ripped the screen door off of its hinges and bent the door, threw it into the appartment (very near me I might add), then turned around and smashed a standing light to the floor. I stayed quiet and picked up all the glass in the kitchen and went into the bedroom so that he wouldn't see me cry. I was upset from all the violence. Then, he came into the bedroom and yelled at me for crying because I was selfish to cry. He was the one upset and I had no right to cry. He said I was very self-centered.
Once I got the nerve to leave the appartment and go for a walk so that I had time to cry and calm down on my own. I had beat him in a video game pretty bad and he trew the remote across the room and smashed it. He turned on me and told me that I was being a horrible person because I had 'run the score up on him'. I didn't think I was doing that, I was just trying my hardest to win. I told him I was sorry for making him upset, but he said he had found a new type of shallow in me because I didn't aplogise for 'running up the score'. I didn't think I was so I wasn't going to aplogise for something I didn't do. He said that it was shallow because the person who is offened should be apologised to just because they were hurt. I refuse to apologise for something I don't feel. It makes and apology mean nothing if you just do it because someone wants to hear one. I apologise when I really mean it. He got mad and yelled at me, so I walk out of the apartment to cool down and think.
When I came back, all the lights were off in the apartment and he was sitting in the dark with a candle lit infront of him. He had smashed my musical instrument and smashed the picture of me. I did say I was sorry that he was upset, but not that I had run up the score and he said that made me a bad person.
I really think he's a wonderful caring person, but just a horrible boyfriend in that all he sees is the things he does and he never notices when someone does them back. I devoted most of my time to him and then he'd turn around and tell me I wasn't. I'd try to buy him things..on my limited college funds and he wouldn't think it was a big deal when it takes a week for me to earn 60 dollars. I spent hours giving him company and only minutes on my school work. What hurts the most is that he never saw how hard I tried to please him...instead he thinks I had an attitude and was ungrateful.
Sometimes I think it was a little of the age difference..the age wasn't a problem it was where we were in life. The first year of our relationship was great because we were both in school. Once he entered the work force and I was still in school we started having problems. He felt like the time he was away was time for school work and friends, but once he got back I should devote all my time to him and forget about friends and school. Life doens't work that way and he couldn't understand and was jealous of my friends accused me of not wanting to see him.
He kept telling me that he had done all of the sacraficing in the relationship and that was a farce. I would reschedual work and duties to drive to his apartment so I could help him clean and make dinner for him, I'd go to bed later so we could watch his shows then get up at 0430 in the morning to drive back to school...and I never once complained and I did this daily. I became so stressed out that my grades were slipping that finally in the spring I wanted ASKED him if I could spend more time at school so I could study.
He said yes but complained about it in little ways if not out right....kind of like how his mother would insinuate things. For my 21st birthday all I recieved was a dozen flowers...for V-day just a dozen flowers...now he made waaay more money than me and I still spent 500 dollars on his b-day...I had to save for 12 weeks for that.
Our one year anaversary I spent 150 dollars on him and he didn't even give me a card. Now I'm not about receiving things, I just want to have some thought put into me. If he had made me a card with crayons I would have liked that better than even the flowers but it just seemed like he forgot about me.
When he went on the ship and called me he was a totally different person than when he was home. This summer I wanted to spend my last summer on the cape with him and my friends. I lost most of my friends because I spent so much time with him and I wanted to get some of them back. I asked him if I could have 2 nights a week were I stayed on campus and he said ok, but complained the whole time and said that I was choosing my friends over him.
In the month of Novemeber, my grandmother died, my mother was diagosed with cancer, I had to fly to 2 job interviews, and I had to study for Finals, CEs, and had weekend watch. He wanted his bored games back but I couldn't get to my cousins to get them but I had called my cousin to ask if he's mail them and I'd pay posatge and he said ok since I was swamped. I told Damien he could get his fridg. that week..prob. tuesday,but I wasn't sure I'd have to wait until Monday evening to tell him for sure. Then he calls me up and acusess me of never wanting to return his stuff and that I had a poor attitude and I was a bitch..when I was trying to get everything done...it's just...with all that was going on.....it was tough.
He left me a nasty voice message and email. Then tried apologising for them. I was more distant to him because i was hurt and he took that as me being a bitch. So I'm really hurt and bitter about the whole thing. I've never yelled at him or been mean. I've been nothing but calm and understanding. He just really hurt me and I'm trying to move on, but his words still cut me deeply.
So here I am now.....what think you world?!?!?!

Alright...so I lied...I don't update this thing regularly. OOps...well y'all don't commenet regularly either so I don't have stuff to respond to...so there! Sometimes I don't write in this thing because my feelings are so strong that I don't want to let them out. I am afraid that what I might say in anger or just a strong emotion could come back to bite me in the butt. Here is an example...and if you are reading this and it hurts you...I'm sorry..these are just my feelings at the moment!
You think people are your friends because you talk about your days together, the things you thought were funny, and the guys you like or don't like and you ask them for your opinions. I am having trouble finding out why people don't respect me. I know what I am taking about and I am just silly around my friends and people I am comfortable with. This person said that I had to learn to show less emotion...so I have and I have councled this person and helped her get through a sticky situtation and was there for her when ever she needed me. Then after she is feeling settled, I was just playing being silly and said why don't y'all like me....and she turns and says...I'm tired of being nice and making things sugar coated...its because you are like this!! and that was me just playing around....::sigh:: it hurt my feelings and she hasn't really talked to me since....I don't know....its just shitty things happen.....I don't know...but that's enough typing for now!!

Well its another day at camp Maritime and I just got out of my last class. Since the aux 1 lab only meets once a month I don't have that today so I got finished at 12:30. I am trying to be in a better mood today, but I am afraid I am not feeling the love...just negativity. Hopefully, things will get better. Its suppose to snow today, but I don't know when it will. I don't know what else to say, but who ever reads this can surly write a comment with questions for me to answer!

Once again I feel as though I should apoligize to anyone who reads this other than myself. I haven't been as diligent as I should be in writing my thoughts down. I am trying to move on with my love life. I found that I need to learn how to love myself first before I allow anyone else to. This is indeed a hard thing to do because I have such low self esteem. Some day I feel like I could be pretty and smart and another other such positive adjective, then I get into the days where anything negative describes how I feel. The trick to making me happy is keeping me busy, say funny things but not stupid things, give me hugs often...no...give me hugs all the time, and be positive yourself.
I sat back earlier this evening and tried to think of the things that make me happy and here they are:
1. Dogs/Puppies/and any other living creature
2. Good smelling objects
3. Games...I love playing games
4. Cuddling...I love to cuddle and be cuddled in return
5. I like attention (I know...its so terrible...but I do)
6. Movies!!!
7. A good back rub
8. Books!!!
9. Driving always puts me in a good mood
10. Sparkles..and anything shinny
11. I like to be praised every now and then (doesn't happen often)
I probably have more but that is all I came up with so far. I am trying to be a happier person, but in order to be happier I need people to help me. I am a people person. I do like my solidarity, but I really like being surround by people who really and truly care about me.
As far as my day went, I spent the night in the rec room at school last night. I don't think that it has ever been tried before, but jess and I thought that it would be cool to have a sleep over so we got our junk food, blankets, and pillows and went to the rec room. Surprisingly, no one bothered us and we were able to have a relaxing evening. Tonight the freshmen have regimental inspections, so I cleaned my room. I do have to find out if I have Mass or not tonight so I can practice. If you read this please reply...my journal feels so empty when you don't!

Surprisingly, no one bothered us and we were able to have a relaxing evening. Tonight the freshmen have regimental inspections, so I cleaned my room. I do have to find out if I have Mass or not tonight so I can practice. If you read this please reply...my journal feels so empty when you don't!

Well..its Monday afternoon and I am still stuck in class. But not to worry...I don't have anything else planned today. I am missing home very much right now. It is snowing here in MA, and I heard that it is going to continue snowing all week and get into the twenties. 'What is this,' I asked myself today..'snow in March?!?' One of the many things I miss about the south is the weather. But what are you going to do? I just got my collar devices today and only had time to put one on my cover. It looks so weird having one...got to go though...class is starting
South Carolina
February 16, 2004, 13:05
I am now in South Carolina. It has been a long trip aboard ship so far. I can't wait to get back to B-bay. The thing I don't like about this port is that it is so close to home yet so far away. I wish I could be in North Carolina right now. I miss my dogs, my friends, my room, my family, and whatever else you can think of I miss. If y'all read this, I would really like to hear for you. I am feeling very lonely right now dispite living with over 400 males...lol... not that they matter.
If I sit back and reflect on my journey so far, I would first like to make note to the sea. It is soooo blue!!! I learned in MSEP class that it is soo blue because there are no plants in such deep water so there is no photosyntisnopsdnp going on... hehehe I could never spell. I did my bowline, beckt and square knots in 19 seconds and I can even do then behind my back.
Shannon...you would have been having so much fun with me. The waves would get so high that when you were walking around on ship you would almost float at some points, then you would get sucked to the floor. You would be walking and going...I'm light as a feather light as a feather...now I'm stuck to the floor...hehe...Lets see.......OH!
The second day in aruba, Second division had to work on the ship. They dicided that they were going to check how the life boats were working. So, they made all 70 of us get our life jackets and go to the life boats. We pilled in like sardines in a can (there really is no leg room in those things) and strapped ourselves in. It was soo hot in those lifeboats and lets just say that I was not feeling good that morning from the previous evenings festivities...lol..Those life boats feel like the drop zone when they are lowered.....no...no...I didn't throw up...but I felt like it. Then I had to climb out of the life boat and up the side of the shp on a rope ladder. When we did this drill again in another life boat...the people who took the gripes off accidently tided them to the rail, so when we were released from the lifeboat...wham...we were hanging in the air crooked...then because of our angle when they finally did realse us we slamed into the ship 3 times before we hit the water.....wow...
Well..I am ready to go now, but I thought that I should share some of the things that are going on with me. I hope y'all are taking care and I can' wait to see you again!

Well... I am finally back up north...surrounded by Yankees and I am ok. Right now I am in New Hampshire and haning out with Arthur. Shannon...I am doing ok...I don't know what else to say right now but I am doing ok and that has to mean something to my friends reading this who care about things like that! Well....I don't know if I will ever be able to get a connection to the internet while on ship but i am going to keep a journal on Microsoft word and then update it when I can so y'all can read what I was thinking while at sea.

A big sigh from me
January 02, 2004, 02:22
Well..right now actually is the day I leave to go back to Massachusetts. And the sad part is that I don't really want to go back right now. I mean...one part of me is excited about going out to sea and getting to see new places and try new things, but I am not ready to leave the place I know. It has taken me almost all of my two weeks just to get back into the grove of things at home, and now I have to leave again. I am doing my laundry right now...yes at 2 in the morning..lol..but it had to be done. I had a good day today though. I woke up to go to church, then I had lunch, then I took a long nap, then I went to visit the old lady across the street, then I went to Shannon's house and we went to the mall, I got books, and then I visited Harry, then I went back to Shannon's and played with her dogs..kinda said my goodbyes ::sniffle:: then I went home. I did get a chocolate moose pie though..... Its just so sad...its hard to share how exactly I am feeling right now with my words. I have never been good with words and I want y'all to understand how hard it is to leave home when you know that you are not going to be home again until 10 months later.
I won't be home until October for 2 days for my sister's wedding. I always thought that leaving home was going to be great. Well, it's not great at a regimental school. I like this school though, because it keeps me focused.
Blah...what do y'all think?

First Entry

Well...this my first time every writing a journal online so I don't really know what to say. Its New Year's Eve and I am not really doing anything but sitting in front of the tv. I got my hair curled today and my eyebrows waxed.......OUCH!; But its something that has to be done.
Sometimes I sit here and wonder what I am doing home. Since going to college I feel kind of out , of place back in North Carolina since I have been living in Massachusetts for about 5 months, but the weird thing is that I feel out of place in Massachusetts too! Do you think I belong somewhere, because most of the time I feel like I am out of place and I don't belong. Maybe I have to find the right people to make me feel at home, but I don't know. I have been thinking abut things like this and I am just ranting right now to get it out in the open. I am a very sensitive creature and I think I need positive attention. I love doing things for others, and I will almost do anything to please people. Although, after looking at my situation, people don't seem to understand kindness. They use me as a doormat. I need to find friends that understand this and won't use me to wipe their feet on. I have Shannon from North Carolina, but she is not in Massachusetts where I need her most...I just don't know....what do y'all think?
