Today was pretty quiet. John came over before I got home from school. I left him a key so he could let himself in. He was asleep when I got home, but he woke up when I came in. I brought him some Naked, and he drank it and just chilled. He really didn't feel well today - he has a cold. So I got to play doctor. Or, well, his "sexy nurse", as he put it. I checked his temperature when I got home, and he didn't have a fever. About an hour before we ate lunch, he decided to take some Sudafed. And I'm glad he did. He started to take a nap, but then I fixed lunch. He ate all of the macaroni I fixed, which was good since he took some medicine. After lunch, he took a nap. A long nap. He actually slept for about 3 hours. But I was glad to see him rest.
While he took a nap, I got several things accomplished. I washed dishes, did a load of laundry, and finished my anatomy homework. Then I ended up napping myself for about an hour. Right after I woke up, my mom called and said the bank across the road from my Bi-Lo had been robbed, and that the robber was holding two people hostage. So I turned on the news, and sure enough, there it was. They had all of Verdae Boulevard closed off, and every business in the area - including Bi-Lo - was on lockdown. So I'm really glad I wasn't at work today. I would've been pretty scared. And everybody was calling me to make sure I was ok - Anna, Nanny, even Phyllis. And my mom said that Grandma called her, and so did my aunt Judy. But luckily I don't work until tomorrow, so I missed the whole thing.
Anyway, John had to leave right after 5, because my dad came home. And my mom pulled up right as he was leaving. I thought she was going to be mad that he was still there, but she wasn't. I was surprised. I hated that John had to leave though. He said his headache was starting to come back, and he said he wanted to rest some more. I just didn't want him to drive while he was all blah and sleepy.
Anyway, when my parents got home, my mom took me to Tropical Tan. I tanned while she went to Kmart to return a pair of pants. Afterwards, she picked me up, and we went home and called in pizza for dinner. It was pretty good. And now I'm talking to John on AIM. Well, I was until like two seconds ago. He just signed off for no reason. Ugh.
OH! And the Motley Crue concert last night was awesome. Well, the music was. The crowd - eh, not so much. A few minutes after my dad and I got to our seats, some teenager came in with his buddy, completely wasted, and puked everywhere. The cops came and arrested him. Then the two women that sat behind us were drunk too, and they just got worse and worse as the show went on.
Theory of a Deadman was the first group we saw. They were awesome. And after their performance, they came out to sign autographs...right near our section! So needless to say, I was one of the first people in line for an autograph. They signed my poster I made for one of the local radio stations. And the guys in the band were really cool. Tyler and Dean were really nice. They talked to me for a second, and I told them how I saw them at the Orange Peel in Asheville back in September. And Tyler - whew. Anyway, I was thrilled that I got their autographs.
So after that, I went back to my seat since Hinder was fixing to come out on stage. That was when the drunk women in the seats behind us started getting out of hand. About half-way through Hinder's performance, one of the women spilled beer all over me...and my autographed poster. I was upset. So that kinda killed my mood for Hinder. And "Lips of An Angel" and "Get Stoned" were the last two songs they did.
Motley Crue, the headliner, was definitely awesome. It was like having some sort of wild, crazy 80s flashback or something. The music was excellent, even though lead singer Vince Neil left out a few lines of several songs. I'm not as familiar with the Crue as I am with other 80s bands, so I didn't know all of their songs, but the last three they sang were "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Dr. Feelgood", and "Home Sweet Home". It was a great show. Oh, and the lighting and pyrotechnics were awesome too. It was like the Nine Inch Nails concert with fireworks.
So overall, it was a great show. I could've done without the drunks, but hey - it's a rock concert. And my Theory-autographed poster looks something like a watercolor now, but at least I know I got to meet the band.
Anyway, I'm going to chill and watch House for a little while. Then I'm going to bed. And I won't post tomorrow because I have school until 3:15, then I'm working from 5 to 11. Lucky me. And it's Friday. That's just wrong. Anyway.
Goodnight.

Quickie.
Ok, just a quick note - I'm really glad I left English early tonight. I mean, working with Tyler and Andrew and Robert and Summer was great, but I just really wanted to see John again. And I made it to Bi-Lo with like five minutes to spare before he went back into work. I think that was the best visit to Bi-Lo ever. It was fun. I got to spend like 15 minutes outside with him while he was getting buggies. Yeah, it was fun.
I hope his cold gets better.
And I hope we get to hang out Thursday.
Anyway, I'm gonna call it a night, since it took me forever to post this. Goodnight.
I hope his cold gets better.
And I hope we get to hang out Thursday.
Anyway, I'm gonna call it a night, since it took me forever to post this. Goodnight.
Inside out.
Well, I figured I'd go ahead and post now, since I probably won't feel like it tonight. John's here. But he's in my room taking a nap right now, so I'm pretty bored. Yeah, that's sad when you're bored while your boyfriend's at your house. Oh well. I think he's getting a cold.
Work was pretty fun last night. It was me, Clara, Kenneth, and Randy. And Nick was the manager so I didn't have to deal with Marie. And Melissa got off at like, 8...so I didn't have to deal with her for very long either. Anyway, the four of us were all just goofing off the whole time. And Clara told me that I'm her new favorite cashier, because everybody else is so boring and "no fun". She said she thinks I have a cool personality, that I'm fun, and that I'm sweet. That made me feel pretty good. And she's only a few months older than I am, but she's totally mature. So we talked a lot while she was there, mainly about guys and prom and how old I am and how she doesn't like some of the people that work at Bi-Lo. And Kenneth kept giving me a hard time about John. It was funny though. The only bad part about last night was the fact that I didn't go on break until like 9:30, but that was ok because I was actually having fun, and when I came back from break, I only had an hour until time to go home.
Today's been...ok. I had to drive over to Tri-County Tech after first period this morning to turn in my "proof of US Citizenship". That was a pointless trip. After that, I stopped by the library to drop off some books, then went to Ingles to grab a couple boxes of macaroni for lunch, and then I went over to Tropical Tan. I bought a month's worth of visits, so I can be nice and tan for prom. I'm pretty excited. Plus, tanning is extremely relaxing, even though it only lasts like 20 minutes.
Anyway, John came over when he got out of school, and we had lunch. Then we went to Bi-Lo so I could buy him some Naked. And now - well, yeah. Now he's in my room taking a nap and I'm sitting here in the living room waiting for him to wake up. And the sad part is, he has to leave in like 15 minutes.
The alarm's going off.
(Thirty minutes later)...ok, John's gone now. He had to go home and feed the dog and get ready for work, and get ready to go to his aunt & uncle's house tonight, since he's staying there while his parents are gone. And honestly, I hate to say this, but I almost wish Terri and Naia would come back. Then, I could skip English tonight and hang out with Naia until John went on break. But she's not here, so I don't really have any options. I think I'm just going to tell Mr. Bailey that I need to leave early tonight, and I'll save skipping for a night after Naia comes home.
I'd really like to meet John on break though. It feels like we haven't seen each other a whole lot lately. I mean, Sunday didn't work out, so we only got to go to Christy's for a little while. I didn't see him at all yesterday. And today seemed really short. Except for the part where I still have to sit through like two hours of Mr. Bailey talking about plays. Maybe I'll just sneak my iPod in or something. Anyway, I won't get to see John tomorrow either, because I'm going to the Motley Crue concert at the Bi-Lo Center. It'll be awesome, I'm sure. But I wish he could come with me. I'm hoping Thursday will be a little better though.
He'll probably read this and think I'm just totally freaking out about not getting to see him. It's not that. I just enjoy spending time with him. He makes me laugh, and he doesn't bitch at me about stupid things I already know about - like work or my grades or cleaning my room or washing dishes. He just makes forget about all the bad stuff, and he makes me happy. So when I don't get to see him, it's like...like everything just slows to a crawl and becomes so...dull.
Anyway, I'm just going to go chill until time to go to English. I might post again tonight, but I doubt it. And I probably won't post tomorrow. Oh well. I'm out.

Walk around the world.
Well, sorry for all my non-readers for not posting in a couple days. I wanted to post Friday night, or yesterday, but my Internet was down for a while. And I've had to work.
So, let's see...Friday night was pretty good. I had to work until 7, and I didn't feel all that great, but I got to hang out with John. We went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner. And we had a pretty nice conversation. We talked about a lot of stuff, a lot about us. Y'know, now that I think about it, I think he and I have our best conversations at Ruby Tuesday...hm. Anyway, after dinner, we drove to Waffle House and just hung out there until it was time to go pick up my dad from his "boys' night" with the guys from work. I love going to Waffle House. I'm always so comfortable there. Especially Friday night. And, the best part of all was getting to stay out past 12.
Last night was pretty good too. I worked until 3 yesterday, and then around 5:30, John picked me up and we went to my cousin's 13th birthday party at the skating rink. It was...ok. After the party, we went to Bi-Lo, just to kill time. It was pretty fun actually. After that, we went to Applebee's. Then, we drove to Greenville and went to Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, and Barnes & Noble. Then we stopped at Waffle House for a few minutes, just for a drink, and then we stopped in Bi-Lo a second time. All in all, it was a pretty good night.
And today wasn't all that bad. I'm feeling better. I think it was just the change in the weather messing with my allergies. I had to work today. I thought I had to go in at 10, but it turns out I didn't have to go in until 12. My mom and my dad both came by the store today. And my mom went through Kenneth's line. I gave him a hard time and told him to be nice to my mama. Haha. Work wasn't too bad though, overall.
But after work, my plan to spend the night with John just fell to pieces. My mom wouldn't let me "spend the night with Kellie" because it's a "school night", and it really made mad. She let me hang out with John though. We went to Christy's house. Her husband Kevin made pizza for us. It was delicious, man. And we watched a few minutes of Superbad. But then we had to leave because I was going to be late getting home. Well, we rushed home, and in the process, we got all freaked out at the toll booth on the Southern Connector because we put in the change and the light never turned green so we drove off anyway, and the alarm started going off. Yeah, John freaked out. He thought he was going to jail n' everything. But then the guy at the other toll booth said we were ok because the thing had been broke all day. And then I was all worried because I thought my mom was going to be super-pissed that I was like 12 minutes late getting home, but she was already asleep when I got home. Talk about relief.
I'm just bummed that I couldn't spend the night. We'll never get that chance again. But he seems like he's enjoying having the house to himself, so I guess it's whatever. I'm hoping I can go over to his house Thursday night though, since neither one of us has to work. It just depends on whether or not Terri and Naia come home before then. But they probably will, so it probably won't happen.
I have to go to Tri-County at some point this week. Probably Tuesday, since I don't have to work. John has to be at work at 5. Maybe he can go with me. It won't take long. I just have to drop off a paper.
I dread tomorrow. I have school all day (until 3:15), and then I have to work from 6 to 11. I'm going to be dead tired when I get home tomorrow night. And if John goes with me to Tri-County, I'm going to nap until he gets out of school. That sounds like a great idea.
OH! And I can't wait until Wednesday, 'cause I'm going to see Motley Crue, Hinder, and Theory of a Deadman at the Bi-Lo Center. I can't freakin' wait, man! I just wish John could go with me.
Anyway, I have to go straighten my hair n' stuff, so I can go to bed by 12. And I probably won't post tomorrow, but maybe Tuesday. Maybe.
Goodnight.

There for you.
Well, today was a relatively good day...for a B-day. Teacher Cadets wasn't too bad this morning, even though Mrs. Hiott was all uptight about the Lifeline project. And econ was totally boring. I didn't even pay attention haha. Anatomy was nice. Zeb was talking about how he only got accepted into the Bridge program at Clemson, but Murphy got accepted for the fall semester. He was all upset, but I gave him some peanut M&Ms to make him feel better haha. And Deanna and I got to talk a lot, since Mrs. Burroughs let us work in pairs today. It was fun. And math wasn't too bad. I just have to do extra homework since I was out last Thursday. And after school, I met up with Kellie, and she said she's off Thursday. So she and I made plans to go prom dress-shopping. She said she wouldn't mind if John wanted to come, and she said she would make Joe come along too, if John did decide to go with us. It'll be fun though. We're just going to the mall, to all the department stores. And this time, maybe Dillard's will have the black-and-gold dress I want. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.
English wasn't too bad tonight, either. We watched the movie Smooth Talk, some 80s film about a girl being persuaded into sexual activity with an older man. The only reason we watched it is because last week for homework, we read the story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been", which the movie is based on. It took up most of our class time tonight, so needless to say, I was happy. I just didn't pay attention throughout the WHOLE, entire movie.
John's in Georgia tonight. He and his mom and Naia drove down there this afternoon. I was talking to him on AIM a little while ago, until his Internet connection was lost - oh, wait! He's back haha. They're staying in a hotel in Atlanta, and the WiFi connection isn't all that great, so I probably won't get to talk to him for very long. His aunt's surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30. John said it's going to take about five hours. I really hope everything goes well for her. I mean, sure, I look forward to seeing John when he gets back, but his aunt's more important. I'm praying for her.
I have to work tomorrow, from 1 to 7. And I think I might actually get into bed early tonight. I just have to go take a shower and do my hair n' stuff first. And at some point between now and Thursday, I have to do that Lifeline paper for Teacher Cadets, and then I have to do my math homework. Ugh. Oh well. I'm just looking forward to the weekend. John and I will (hopefully) be spending a lot of time together, especially if I'm spending the night at his house. Gah, I can't wait. I miss him, already. That can't be good, can it? Haha.
Well, now I'm talking to him and Naia via webcam. They both look really rested and happy. I wish I could be there with them, but I know that's a family thing. Besides, I'll probably get to talk to him on AIM for a little while before I go to work tomorrow. Anyway, I'm going to go. My mom's getting all pissy because I'm keeping her awake. But I'm sure I'll post tomorrow.
Goodnight. And y'all, pray for Suzanne.

Stars on your scars.
I'm so glad school was out today. And I'm glad John and I didn't have to work. Today was an absolutely wonderful day.
I woke up at 8 and got dressed and went over to Discount Tire to get my tire fixed. It took about an hour, but when I got home, I went back to sleep because John wanted to come over as soon as he got out of school and 'wake me up'. Well, I had a very nice nap, and the next thing I knew, I woke up and John was lying in the bed with me. Let's just say that was a very pleasant wake-up call. I don't remember hearing him come in the house, and I don't remember feeling him get in the bed, but when I woke up, he was there. And we stayed there for about two hours, but then we had to leave to meet his tattoo artist in Greenville.
Rebecca, the tattoo artist, was really cool. She seemed really laid-back, and smart about her work. It was a really productive meeting. I can't wait to see her design for John's tattoo. I'm excited for him. Anyway, after our meeting with Rebecca, we headed over to the mall for a few minutes. I wanted to show John the prom dress I plan to get, but the Dillard's at Haywood Mall didn't have it. Oh well. After we left the mall, we drove over to the Lexus dealership, and then to the Scion dealership. After that, we headed back to my house to get a couple boxes of macaroni, then we went over to Naia's. Over there, we ate our macaroni and watched the movie Superbad. Well, we watched like the first half of The House Bunny and then we started watching Superbad. We didn't get to finish watching it though, because I had to be home at 8. Bummer. But what I got to see of it was really good.
John's going to Georgia tomorrow. His aunt's having surgery. I really hope everything goes well for her. I'll definitely be praying about it. John's mom is taking Naia down there tomorrow morning, and then John and his dad will be going later in the day, after John gets out of school. Terri and Naia are staying down there until next week, but he and his dad are coming back Wednesday night. I probably won't see him until Thursday though. And sure, it's a bummer, but I understand. It's all good.
And I'm starting to get nervous about Sunday. Yeah, this weekend is when I'm supposed to be spending the night at John's house. I keep trying to replay the scenario in my head - the plan. I just want to be sure it's all going to work. But really, now the only part I'm worried about is Terri and Naia. There's no way to know for sure when they're coming back from Georgia. If they decide to come back Sunday, we won't be able to do it. I just hope it all turns out right. I'm really looking forward to spending the night.
And I'm really thinking about getting a tattoo, but I don't really know what I want. I mean, sure, a Marilyn Manson heart or a set of Green Day "lucky stars" would be cool, but I want to be sure I'm getting it for the right reason. And, I'm not exactly sure where I'd want to get one, either. But I am thinking about it.
Anyway, I'm talking to John on AIM now. And pretty soon I'm going to get ready for bed, so I doubt I'll post again tonight. And tomorrow's a B-day. And I have English at 5:40. Ugh. And I have to work Wednesday. Maybe the time will go by really fast and it'll be Thursday before I know it. Maybe. Oh, and my dad will be gone to Georgia too, only he's going for his job. So my mom and I will be "man-less" for two whole days. Gah, what EVER will we do?
Anyway....goodnight.

I don't remember hearing him come in the house, and I don't remember feeling him get in the bed, but when I woke up, he was there. And we stayed there for about two hours, but then we had to leave to meet his tattoo artist in Greenville.
Rebecca, the tattoo artist, was really cool. She seemed really laid-back, and smart about her work. It was a really productive meeting. I can't wait to see her design for John's tattoo. I'm excited for him. Anyway, after our meeting with Rebecca, we headed over to the mall for a few minutes. I wanted to show John the prom dress I plan to get, but the Dillard's at Haywood Mall didn't have it. Oh well. After we left the mall, we drove over to the Lexus dealership, and then to the Scion dealership. After that, we headed back to my house to get a couple boxes of macaroni, then we went over to Naia's. Over there, we ate our macaroni and watched the movie Superbad. Well, we watched like the first half of The House Bunny and then we started watching Superbad. We didn't get to finish watching it though, because I had to be home at 8. Bummer. But what I got to see of it was really good.
John's going to Georgia tomorrow. His aunt's having surgery. I really hope everything goes well for her. I'll definitely be praying about it. John's mom is taking Naia down there tomorrow morning, and then John and his dad will be going later in the day, after John gets out of school. Terri and Naia are staying down there until next week, but he and his dad are coming back Wednesday night. I probably won't see him until Thursday though. And sure, it's a bummer, but I understand. It's all good.
And I'm starting to get nervous about Sunday. Yeah, this weekend is when I'm supposed to be spending the night at John's house. I keep trying to replay the scenario in my head - the plan. I just want to be sure it's all going to work. But really, now the only part I'm worried about is Terri and Naia. There's no way to know for sure when they're coming back from Georgia. If they decide to come back Sunday, we won't be able to do it. I just hope it all turns out right. I'm really looking forward to spending the night.
And I'm really thinking about getting a tattoo, but I don't really know what I want. I mean, sure, a Marilyn Manson heart or a set of Green Day "lucky stars" would be cool, but I want to be sure I'm getting it for the right reason. And, I'm not exactly sure where I'd want to get one, either. But I am thinking about it.
Anyway, I'm talking to John on AIM now. And pretty soon I'm going to get ready for bed, so I doubt I'll post again tonight. And tomorrow's a B-day. And I have English at 5:40. Ugh. And I have to work Wednesday. Maybe the time will go by really fast and it'll be Thursday before I know it. Maybe. Oh, and my dad will be gone to Georgia too, only he's going for his job. So my mom and I will be "man-less" for two whole days. Gah, what EVER will we do?
Anyway....goodnight.

Just killing some time.
Well, today has been a relatively good day so far. I felt really rested when I woke up this morning. And my parents have been in a pretty good mood. I got to meet John on break, too. And after his break was over, I stopped in Bi-Lo and bought a Naked drink. It's Cherry Pomegranate, and it's actually pretty good. Anyway, right now I'm just killing some time until I have to leave for work.
So, last night was great. It was a wonderful Valentine's Day. I met John at Naia's after I got off work, and he took me to Olive Garden for dinner. It was SO delicious. And he liked what he ordered, which is great because he kept saying that he didn't even like Olive Garden. Anyway, after we left the restaurant, we went back to Naia's. We saw like four cop cars on the way home, three with their lights flashing. That was pretty unusual. Kinda creepy, actually. And it got really foggy last night. On the way back to Naia's, it didn't even look like the same area. Anyway, we picked Naia up and took her to Waffle House. We went in her car, and John drove. He looked really good driving her car. I think it was just the lights on her dashboard, but the way the reflected off of his face...he looked so adult. He just looked so natural driving her car.
Waffle House was great. My mom stopped by to give me some money so I could bring my dad home some dinner, and she gave me permission to be out past midnight. So we were all really relaxed the whole time we were there. We had a pretty neat conversation with Aaron, the cook, about tattoos n' stuff. He's pretty funny. But he's got some crazy ideas about all the tattoos he wants. Anyway, after we left Waffle House, we went back to Naia's, and then John took me home. But overall, it was a great evening for Valentine's Day.
And the best part of it all? John got me a new Marilyn Manson shirt. Isn't he amazing? Yes, my boyfriend is amazing. And the shirt is freaking awesome. See?
So, yeah. It was a great Valentine's Day.
Anyway, tomorrow should be good too. I think I'm actually going to get permission for John to come over. My mom's not being very difficult about it. And that would just be wonderful if she let him come over. But I have a few errands to run tomorrow. Well, just one, really. But I might want to do a couple other things while I'm out. The best thing is neither one of us has to work tomorrow. And my mom said she might even let me hang out with him tomorrow night, if he and Naia want to go out to eat or something. If she does, that'll be amazing.
Anyway, I have to go get ready for work. I'll try to post again later.

If you're Bonnie, I'll be your Clyde.
My mom is such a fucking mood killer. Sorry, but dude, she is. I came home tonight, and she started this whole thing about how I just have an attitude all the time. Um, excuse me. What? She's the one who's in a constant state of PMS these days. Not me. And she needs to just chill. I called her on my way home from work, and she wouldn't shut up about how she's going to make me start paying for everything. Gas, car insurance, cell phone bill - everything. I'm not going there. I'm just tired of hearing her nag. She's on my back about every little thing. And tonight, when I got home from work, she didn't even seem happy to see me. She payed more attention to the cat than she did to me. The cat.
Going to John's grandmother's house was nice. We ate Little Caesar's for dinner and then we watched an episode of House. Then we looked at some pictures on a digital photo frame. After we left, we went to Amber Island, a tattoo parlor. We got some pretty good insight on getting a tattoo, and the people there were really cool. Moto had some great work.
Anyway, after we left Amber Island, we went to Wal-Mart for a few minutes, then we drove to Waffle House in Powdersville. John let me drive his car. I love driving his car, what with his new rims n' everything. It makes me feel special. Ok, that sounded retarded, but seriously. It makes me feel like I'm...gah, how can I say this without sounding conceited? Well, whatever. It makes me feel like a hot girlfriend. So there.
Oh, look. It's already Valentine's Day. I think I want to just chill at home tomorrow night. Tonight, whatever. I'll probably be tired after work, and I just wanna' chill. I mean, it's Valentine's Day. I want it to be just us. Maybe we can go to his house and have dinner, if his parents aren't there, and if we have permission.
I wish I could be there now. I mean, I wish I could spend the night with him tonight. Just to be with him. It feels like we haven't spent enough time together this week, and right now, I'm just fed up with my parents. Nothing feels right, and I want to get away from here.
I'm just bummed out. I'm so tired of being in a good mood and then having it ruined. Like tonight on my way home from work - I was listening to Papa Roach ("To Be Loved"! whoo!) and I was all upbeat and happy and just ready to spend some time with John, and then I made the mistake of calling my mom just to tell her I was on my way home, and she ruined it. Not completely though - I was still all hyper when I pulled into the driveway. But as soon as I got out of the car, my mood went downhill because she didn't seem to care that I was home. All she seems to care about now is the fact that I have a job so I get a paycheck so I can pay her for every little thing and not be able to have a life. I don't know, man.
I'm just ready for a change. John's the best thing in my life right now, and it feels like my parents are trying to keep him away from me. Granted, my dad's being cool about everything. He's the one telling my mom to let me spend time with John. But here lately, I haven't seen my dad that much because he's had to work late so much, and now I feel really guilty about it. Plus, now I'm working. All those days where John comes over for lunch and spends the afternoon at my house practically don't exist anymore. But I had to get a job to shut my parents up. Too bad it only worked for one.
And thank God I'm out of school Monday. I don't have to work, and John doesn't either. He has to go to school, but he gets out at 10:45, so it'll still be early when he comes over. And you just have no idea how much I'm looking forward to that. Problem is, I wish I knew I could get permission. That way, he could just come over straight from school (if he wants to), and nobody would care that his car's in my driveway. But I doubt my mom would give me permission. Well, if I came up with the right excuse, she would. I might just tell her he wants to go to Naia's or something later in the afternoon. I don't know, but I'll figure it out.
Anyway, I'm going to talk to him on AIM for a little bit, then I'm going to bed. I have to work from 2 to 7 tomorrow. Today. I just want to get it over with so I can hang out with John. And I still feel pretty crappy that I ruined Valentine's Day for him by getting him the Marilyn Manson dvd. I hope he doesn't hold that against me. Besides, my back-up plan didn't work.
Oh well. I'll post again soon.
Goodnight, and if I don't post again in the next 22 hours and 30 minutes, Happy Valentine's Day.

Euphoria.
It's dark outside and the window's open. I can picture myself walking down the sidewalk alone. Maybe here, just across the street. Maybe at the beach, on some old abandoned boardwalk. I'm not sure where I'm going though.
I keep flashing back to last year. All these feelings keep coming back - the way it felt to drive by myself for the first time, on the interstate, on the way to my grandma's house. The way it felt to drive home from school with the windows down, blaring Green Day all the way. The feeling of walking outside on a warm spring morning, with fresh dew covering the ground, the cars, covering everything. I remember the feeling of taking a shower on hot summer nights and then sitting outside on the porch in shorts and a tank-top. I remember sitting outside and watching the lightning from a distant thunderstorm, and I remember watching baseball with my dad and eating chocolate ice cream. And Greenville-Pickens...the feeling of the wind from the cars going by, the smell of 110-octane racing fuel and rubber, the taste of Little Caesar's pizza and Dr. Pepper...the only time I felt like everything was perfect.
I actually miss that. Not everything I associate with it, just the feelings themselves. I don't want to remember the people and the drama - all the bullshit. Just the feelings. The sensations. I don't know why it all seems so vivid to me right now. But it seems like I'll never feel anything like that ever again. Regardless, I'm ready for spring.
I daydream about the summer. The perfect summer. I daydream about Daytona - about walking on the beach at night, hand in hand with my boyfriend, kissing him under a sky full of stars, and feeling the salt water washing over our feet. I dream of Frisbee at the park, and driving around town with the windows down on hot summer nights when there's nothing else to do. I dream of so much. Unfortunately...well, unfortunately, my dreams are too often interrupted by bizarre English professors who won't shut up about in-class essays and the anthology of poetry.
I wrote that in my English class tonight. What can I say? I was bored. But I do dream of that stuff. I just wish it could happen. I hope it happens.
John met me at McDonald's tonight after I got out of class. It was nice. Deanna gave us her employee discount. I made an elephant out of ketchup, too. After McDonald's, we went to Wal-Mart for a little bit. Another "summer" feeling hit me while we were there - going fishing with my dad during the summer. Man, we had a blast. We would go up to Lake Keowee and fish, and then on the way back to the dock, we would blare Green Day ALL the way, and I'm sure the whole lake could hear it. Anyway, I came back to reality when we were looking at all the Valentine's Day stuff. I remembered it's still only February.
I'm still looking forward to next weekend though. I think my plan to spend the night with John is really going to work. I hope so, anyway. I keep thinking about it. I know we'll have fun.
Man, I wish I didn't have to come home tonight. I let John drive my car on the way back from Wal-Mart. He said he felt like a real man 'cause he was driving his girlfriend's car. I'm glad he's cool with it. I mean, if I need to be comfortable driving his car, he needs to be comfortable driving mine. I just wish we didn't have to come home. Actually, when we were on the way back to McDonald's, I felt like we should be going home - like we actually had our own place to go home to. I wish we did.
Anyway, I need to get ready for bed.

Who has to know?
Today was great. I thought I would be all exhausted after working late last night, but I was fine. I picked John up today, and we had lunch at my house. After lunch, we took my car to Discount Tire to get my tires rotated. We drove with the windows down the whole way there and back. It was great. And on the way home, we both agreed that it felt like we were on our way to the beach or something. It was just so nice outside, and it was just the two of us, going down the interstate with the windows down and the music blaring. I imagined that's how it'll be when we go to Daytona in June (assuming I get to go).
We didn't go back to my house after we left Discount. We went to his house instead. We went upstairs and watched Dexter. It was pretty cool. I'd never seen the show before, but I liked it. Anyway, we didn't really do anything after we watched Dexter, since John had to get ready for work.
After I left his house, I came home with a tremendous burst of energy. So, I decided to wash the car. Dude, I was SO energized. I washed the car, cleaned my wheels, and then I went inside and washed the dishes. After that, I took a really, really quick shower. And as soon as I got out, John called me to meet him at McDonald's on break. So I was kind of in a hurry. But break was fun. And after he went back to work, I stayed at Bi-Lo and wrote him a note. I don't really remember what it says now though.
Anyway, after I left Bi-Lo, I went home, then had to make a trip back to Powdersville to get dinner for me and my parents. I would've stopped in Bi-Lo again, but I didn't have a good excuse that time haha. I ate dinner with my parents tonight, though. It was...nice, I guess. And after dinner my mom and I worked on my FAFSA application and then we watched Intervention on A&E. And now...well, now I'm posting this and talking to John on AIM.
I keep thinking about next weekend. Well, it's almost two weeks from now, but whatever. It's the 22nd. If everything goes right, I'll be spending the night with John that night. That sounds so weird. First of all, I haven't spent the night with anybody since...well, since Christmas break. Of course, that wasn't too long ago, but I don't really spend the night with anybody much anymore. And two, Anna is the only person I ever spend the night with. So, to say I'm going to spend the night with John - with my boyfriend - is...well, I'm not going to lie, it's weird for me. But I'm looking forward to it. It's just...the funny thing is, I'm nervous about it. I mean, I know nothing's going to happen. I'm not nervous about that. But I don't know. I'm not sure what it is. I know it'll be fun though. I'm definitely excited.
Anyway, I need to straighten my hair and get ready for bed. And possibly watch some of the Nine Inch Nails concert dvd that John let me borrow. I'll post again tomorrow, I'm sure.
Goodnight.

Give and take.
Today was the nicest day of the year so far. It was 70 degrees today. Absolutely beautiful. Too bad I had to work. My mom and I had a disagreement right before lunch, and she pretty much killed my mood, but she apologized for it a little later. She just has a major problem with me spending time with John.
I still got to see him today. He followed me from Pumper's to Bi-Lo, and we dropped my car off at Bi-Lo and just spent time looking at cars until I had to go into work. It was pretty fun. He came into Bi-Lo right after I clocked in, and (as he put it) he bought Naked and had me check him out, haha. And while he was at my register, he gave me a note.
Isn't he wonderful? He waited for me to go on break tonight. And I'm so glad he did. I was having the worst time at the register before my break. Nothing was going right. And Michael - who shall, from now on, be referred to as Harry Potter - was of no help whatsoever. I mean, c'mon. I'm new. I've only been there 4 days. Gimme a break. Everything just went wrong at once, and I was a little overwhelmed.
John took me to McDonald's while I was on break. We sat on the couch (yes, that McDonald's has a couch), and we watched ESPN and made fun of the AFL and NFL. I'm just glad he waited for me. It was a relief to see him after getting all stressed out at work.
Things were a lot better when I came back from break though. Kenneth helped me out a lot. He's the only one there who's really nice to me - out of the guys, anyway. Clara's nice, but she was only there until 5. Anyway, Kenneth helped me with several things, and I finally got the hang of doing WIC orders. Everything went smoothly after that. And my parents came by. They were all happy to see me doing my job. Oh, and I got a compliment from a customer today: a man came to my register (he had a pretty small order), and he said I was "a very professional young lady". That made me feel pretty good. And some other dude - some 60-year-old man who was with his son and his son's girlfriend and their 6-month-old baby (and their order was $327), was flirting with me, telling me how pretty my name was. Hm...ok. Sure. Anyway, the rest of the night went by kinda' slow, but after 10, I was getting all the customers because there were only two registers open and mine was closest to the door.
The only downside about this job is the fact that I haven't adjusted to standing at a register for such a long time. My back and my legs are killing me. And actually, I'm hoping that John will be willing to give me a massage tomorrow. That would just be amazing. He'll be coming over after school and hanging out for the day. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Anyway, I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to call it a night. I'll post again tomorrow, probably.
Goodnight.
I still got to see him today. He followed me from Pumper's to Bi-Lo, and we dropped my car off at Bi-Lo and just spent time looking at cars until I had to go into work. It was pretty fun. He came into Bi-Lo right after I clocked in, and (as he put it) he bought Naked and had me check him out, haha. And while he was at my register, he gave me a note.
Isn't he wonderful? He waited for me to go on break tonight. And I'm so glad he did. I was having the worst time at the register before my break. Nothing was going right. And Michael - who shall, from now on, be referred to as Harry Potter - was of no help whatsoever. I mean, c'mon. I'm new. I've only been there 4 days. Gimme a break. Everything just went wrong at once, and I was a little overwhelmed.
John took me to McDonald's while I was on break. We sat on the couch (yes, that McDonald's has a couch), and we watched ESPN and made fun of the AFL and NFL. I'm just glad he waited for me. It was a relief to see him after getting all stressed out at work.
Things were a lot better when I came back from break though. Kenneth helped me out a lot. He's the only one there who's really nice to me - out of the guys, anyway. Clara's nice, but she was only there until 5. Anyway, Kenneth helped me with several things, and I finally got the hang of doing WIC orders. Everything went smoothly after that. And my parents came by. They were all happy to see me doing my job.

Go around a time or two.
Man. Dude. Seriously. Gah. I really wish John had his own apartment. If he did - and if he didn't have to work tomorrow morning - tonight would be the perfect night to stay with him.
We got to hang out after he got off work tonight. I was glad, because today was a really long day. I worked 10:30 to 4, but I didn't actually get out of Bi-Lo until 4:20. And Bi-Lo was really busy. The Bi-Lo in Powdersville seemed busy too, when I stopped by to see John. Oh, speaking of then, we went to McDonald's while he was on break, and I made an alligator out of ketchup.

The Bi-Lo in Powdersville seemed busy too, when I stopped by to see John. Oh, speaking of then, we went to McDonald's while he was on break, and I made an alligator out of ketchup.
He and I went to Cracker Barrel tonight. Well, I'd already eaten dinner at Golden Corral with my parents...which was actually a pleasant experience, considering that we haven't actually gone out to eat together, as a family, as in all three of us, to a restaurant in quite some time. And they didn't make a big deal about me going out with John tonight. I was very surprised. But I didn't complain. I guess they really are happy that I have a job now. And I'm glad.
Cracker Barrel was nice. John and I talked about cars n' stuff. I want him to go to Atlanta Dragway with me when the NHRA Southern Nationals rolls around. I really think he'll enjoy that. Oh, and he thinks he needs to have a faster car so I'll like him more or something. But I can assure you, I could care less what he drives. Besides, his car looks awesome. And he wouldn't be the same without his car. And just because Colby has a Camaro that has like 500 horsepower doesn't mean a thing. The car is ugly. At least, it has been ever since he put those black rims on it. I mean, at least my boyfriend can put black rims on his car and get away with it. Colby can't. And not only does his car look bad, but he's a liar. And a loser, at that. To be frank, I don't give a shit what he drives. And he's not really my ex-boyfriend. He was just a waste of time, and I'm glad I have nothing to do with him anymore.
John's cologne is seriously intoxicating. He sprayed some on my jacket when we were on our way to Naia's, and I'm wearing it now. Not because I'm cold. Just because I want to smell it. It makes me feel like I'm his, if that makes any sense at all.
Going to Naia's was nice too. We had a nice conversation about tattoos and John's parents going out of town. It was just...nice. And man, I was so comfortable. I didn't want to go home.
...which brings me back to my first point. Have I ever mentioned that I wish John had his own apartment? Gah. I know there's really no point in him getting one, if he's transferring to a university after he finishes at tech, but still. It would be so awesome if he had a place of his own. I would be over there all the time. It would just be...awesome.
His parents are going to be gone in a couple weeks. He'll be staying at home by himself. For a whole week, at that. Well, maybe a week. Depending on how everything goes with his aunt. But anyway, his parents are all pissy telling him he can't have ANYBODY over while they're gone, blah blah blah. But I think John's mind is on a different page. I know mine is, haha. And I agree with what he told Naia. He said that he should be able to bring his girlfriend into his own house while there's nobody home. I agree. My parents have let me bring him over when there's nobody home. And he's been over lots of times that my parents don't know about. But still, my parents have let me have my boyfriend in the house with nobody home. His parents need to chill. It's not like we would do anything, anyway. Like John said, I would kill him if he tried anything. Only, I wouldn't kill him. I would stop him, but I certainly wouldn't kill him. Too bad I couldn't spend the night though. Well, I probably could....but I don't know how we would work that out. Wait. Never mind. My mind is going in like ten different directions at once, trying to figure stuff out, and I just can't type fast enough.
Tonight was just too short. I'm really tired, but I wanted to stay with John. It's just not fair that he has to open in the morning. Really, no es justo.
It's extremely comfortable in my bed tonight. I'm just so relaxed. I really think it's the cologne. I still say John needs to spray some on my pillow.
I wish the weekend could last another couple of days. John's working from 7 to 12 in the morning - well, in just a few hours. And I have to work from 4 to 11. That sucks. But I'm really hoping John's coming over Monday. We can have lunch and just chill.
Anyway, I'm just going to go enjoy this peaceful feeling while it lasts. Besides, I'm getting rather sleepy, what with the whole cologne thing, and the fact that I worked today. (Yeah, my body isn't exactly used to the whole 'standing at a cash register for five hours' thing yet). So, I'm going to go talk to John on AIM and then I'm going to bed. I'll try to post tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll get a chance.
Goodnight.

Dandy in the ghetto.
Well, I meant to write again last night about the dream I had Tuesday night. I just didn't get around to it. But I had this dream about me and John. It was funny...I snuck into his house at like 3:00 in the morning to see him. I was going to spend the night there. But for some reason, we were going to sleep on the couch, instead of in his room. Well, we were lying on the couch, fixing to go to bed, and I said something that made him laugh. He laughed really hard. I tried to tell him to be quiet because his dad would come downstairs and find us. Well, sure enough, he did. His dad came running down the stairs yelling at the top of his lungs. He was saying stuff about how John disrespected him and how I shouldn't be there and...man, he was just really worked up. And the whole time, John was just laughing like crazy. Meanwhile, I was in the process of sneaking out of their house. And after I made it outside and across the front yard, I got into my car and it wouldn't start! I don't know what that had to do with anything, but it was really funny and really scary at the same time. It was just a weird dream.
I've been thinking a lot lately about John having his own apartment. I wish he did. When I was at his house Tuesday, and we were upstairs in his room, it felt like we were in our own apartment. Man, it was great. I just can't help but daydream about how it would be to live with him. Well, maybe not live with him, per se. But if he had his own apartment, I could at least spend the night with him. I would really love that.
Oh, today was my second day at Bi-Lo. It wasn't too bad at all. It got really busy around 5, but I wasn't completely overwhelmed. And John was there like, all afternoon. He stuck around so he could go on break with me, and he ended up being there for quite some time. It made me feel better though. It made it easier to get through my shift, because I knew as soon as I got off, he would be waiting for me.
I thought my mom was going to be difficult tonight. She got all mad when I told her I couldn't find my cell phone, but I found it and we smoothed things over when I got home. She let me go to Naia's to hang out with John. He and I went to Applebee's for dinner, and we brought Naia some mozzarella sticks home. It was nice though. I'm just glad I got to spend a little more time with John.
Tomorrow's Friday. Finally. I wish it was an A-day, but I'm not complaining. I want to present my brochure project. I'm proud of it. It's the first project I've done for school - for any class - that's really meant something to me. We're dissecting a sheep heart in anatomy tomorrow. That should be interesting. And John has to work during the day, so we should be able to hang out tomorrow night. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Anyway, I'm going to get ready for bed. I'll post again tomorrow. After school maybe. Or before I go to bed. Yeah. Anyway....
Goodnight.

Receipts are gay.
Well, today turned out to be ok. Not great. But ok
I thought it was going to be a really bad day. When I got to school, I realized that my brochure had printed the wrong way. Yeah, that project I had to do for Teacher Cadets? It was due today. We had to present them to the man from Anderson University. But luck was on my side this morning, because most of the class presented today before I did. So, by the end of class, there wasn't enough time for me and four other people to present. I was so relieved.
Econ was a total snooze session today. But I couldn't actually sleep because Zeb and Austin wouldn't shut up. And we didn't do a thing in anatomy. We got to work in pairs today, so Deanna came over to my desk and we ended up talking pretty much the whole class. Mrs. Burroughs wasn't checking our work though, so we didn't get in trouble. Deanna was telling me that she thinks she might be pregnant. But she said if she is, she's ok with it. She wants to be "young mom", and she told me she was planning on starting a family soon anyway. That really surprised me, hearing that from her. But I gave her my support. And then we just ended up talking about our relationships n' stuff. It was actually a really good conversation.
I was pretty zoned-out in math today. I didn't get sleepy though, for once. I just sat there the whole time making another "random notes" page. Needless to say, I was extremely bored.
I took a nap as soon as I got home today. It was great. I slept for over an hour. And my mom made spaghetti for supper. It was delicious, as usual. I couldn't remember if John had to work today, but he called me around 7:15 to see if I could go to McDonald's, so obviously he did have to work. I met him on break, and then I stopped in Bi-Lo to get some bread for my mom. I wrote a note on the back of my receipt and stuck it in the door of John's car. I hope he got it. I mean, I hope it didn't blow away since it was pretty windy outside. But if he did, I hope it made him laugh.
When I came home from Bi-Lo, I convinced Mom to play a round of Rummy with me. So we played cards and ate ice cream. That was fun. After that I took a shower and just hung out in my mom's room talking to her. And now I'm here.
I felt rested after I took a shower. I didn't feel so tired and blah anymore. I felt...refreshed. And right now, I'm not all achy. This is nice. It's a pleasant feeling.
I bet John's dad has already turned off the Internet, so John probably won't get to read this until tomorrow morning. And I hope he's not mad that I tagged his mom in that note on Facebook. I didn't mean to, really. But it's not like it matters. I didn't say anything in that note that I shouldn't have. Plus, it would be good for her to see that I'm "ok" with her.
I have to work tomorrow. 2 to 7. It shouldn't be too bad. I hope not. I wish I could have lunch with John though. It feels like we haven't had macaroni in forever. But there aren't enough hours in the day for that. I miss him though. I hate how everything's so dull when he's not around.
Anyway, I'm going to get ready for bed. I'm sure I'll post again tomorrow.

Insomnia vs. procrastination.
I just can't bring myself to finish that project. I'm such a procrastinator.
Let's just not discuss anything past....say, June 6th? Wait. It's only February 3rd. And there's still March to go through. I bet March is gonna' be a long month. Always is.
The wind is still blowing the trees against the side of the house. It's really annoying.
Ever notice how, when you cry because you're happy, it never seems to do anything to your face...yet when you cry because something has upset you, you look all red and puffy and distorted?
I do NOT want to go to school tomorrow. I wonder if I could get away with just not getting out of bed in the morning? This is not good.
I bet I won't get to see John again until Frida
y.
I think this summer, I'll just sleep every day. All day, every day. Until the weekend. Until Saturday.
I'm going to miss these afternoons. Being lazy with John is the best thing in the world, and I won't get to do it anymore because I have a job now.
I really should take a little nap. Everything's starting to get blurry.

An ounce of cure.
Everything's going to be ok. I guess.
Today was nice. I spent the afternoon with John. The best part was taking a nap at his house. Then I had to go to English. It wasn't too bad tonight. I just don't like anybody in there anymore, since Zeb and Chelsea and Ally and all the other nice people switched to the other class. That sucks, because now Mr. Bailey calls on me ALL the time. It's really annoying. Anyway, before I left, Mom made some macaroni & cheese for me, so I didn't have to go on an empty stomach. And when I left my house I met John at Pumper's to give him some M&Ms. After class was over, Mom let me go to McDonald's with John. It was really nice. We had a really good conversation. He was...serious. Well, not serious. But serious. Ya know? I don't know. I just like it when we have conversations like that. Except for the Clemson part.
But I'm ok with him going to Clemson. I just....I'll deal with it when the time comes. There's no point in being selfish and dragging it out. I want him to be happy more than anything.
Man, I love my mom. She gives good advice when it's really important. I know sometime's she's really ADD and I get frustrated, but she came through for me tonight.
Anyway, I need to wrap this thing up. John's internet's only going to work for 9 more minutes. And I need to finish up my brochure project. I'll post again soon though.
Goodnight.

Running into the ground.
Ok, why is everything so overwhelming all of a sudden?
I went to the library afterschool today with Kayla. It was extremely unproductive. All of the computers were taken the whole hour and a half we were there, so neither one of us got to work on our brochures. The only good part about the whole thing was getting my book sources. But they didn't really help me with the layout of my brochure because I'm using my online sources for the majority of the information in my brochure. And stupid me, I didn't bring my laptop. I figured it would be pointless since I don't have Microsoft Publisher on it, and that was pretty much the whole reason we went to the library. So, I didn't get anything accomplished.
Tomorrow's probably not going to work out right either. I get out of school at 9:50. I was planning on coming home and taking a nap just to get some rest, and then I was going to take a shower n' stuff. John doesn't get out of school until 12:15, but I figured he would come over tomorrow afternoon. Well, I have a dentist appointment at 10:30, so my plans for the whole 'take a nap & take a shower' thing aren't going to work. And I have English tomorrow night. I was planning on doing the reading tonight and tomorrow morning during Spanish (yes, during another class - we never do anything in there, so I can get away with it). But apparently, I'm just going to have to do it tomorrow afternoon because I'm going to have to spend tonight finding out how to get my brochure made.
Wednesday's a B-day. Back to the boredom prison. And I have to work Thursday, from 2 to 7. Then Friday's a B-day too. Then I'll have to work this weekend, I'm sure. Probably at night too, just to mess everything up.
It's like I can see my social life just slipping away. All my free time is disappearing. And it feels like I'm never going to get a break. Not to mention the fact that I'm losing time to spend with John. I miss him, already. And I'm constantly tired lately.
Gah, I'm just one big complaint today, huh?
I wish my parents would shut up. They're not mad or pissy or anything. They both actually seem to be in pretty good moods. But they keep talking to me and it's distracting me and getting on my nerves. I'm just trying to get done with everything so maybe, just maybe I can see John tomorrow.
Looks like I'll be up late tonight. Maybe I'll post again, if I have time. But right now I have to go make sure my download of Microsoft Publisher actually worked so I can finish that stupid project.
How come everybody else seems to be doing just fine?

Paint the future black.
Well, today was my first day at Bi-Lo. It wasn't too bad. I spent the first two & a half hours finishing up the orientation videos. Then I got to run a register. One of the other cashiers, Anthony, showed me how everything worked, and what to do in certain situations. I got the hang of it pretty quickly, but it was really busy when I started, so Anthony did most of the work. It finally started to slow down, so then I got to work with a girl named Brittany. She was nice...enough. I worked with her for a little bit, until this woman came through the line with like $200 worth of groceries. That was when I dropped the glass bottle of olive oil. Well, I didn't actually drop it - it fell off the counter. But it was my fault. It was....pretty bad. But Jim wasn't mad or anything. Everybody who saw it just said, "Oh that happens all the time." So after that ordeal was over, Jim said I could take a 15-minute break. After that, he told me to do the "go-backs" - where you take a buggy full of items that were left at registers and put them back on the right shelves. I did that for the last hour & a half that I was there. I didn't mind it too much, but after a while, my legs really started hurting. So by 8:00, I was pretty much ready to just go home. And at 8:15, Jim said I could leave.
My mom called as I was leaving Bi-Lo. She asked me if I planned to do anything with John tonight, and then she told me he was at my house. I felt so relieved when she said that. I figured he would've been at home or at Naia's or something, and that I wouldn't have been able to get in touch with him. But no, he was there, at my house, waiting on me to get home. That was just the coolest feeling in the world. I was all tired and everything, then that cheered me right up. But really, it was such a relief.
I really wish he and I could've spent more time together tonight. But we're both tired. And he didn't sleep at all last night. This weekend turned out to be very short. I hate that. I mean, in all honesty, this weekend was boring. And tiring. I hope next weekend is better. Really.
And the worst part? Tomorrow's a B-day. That means school until 3:15. John's lucky - he gets out at 10:45 and he can go home and take a nap. He doesn't even have to work tomorrow. And I'm not looking forward to tomorrow because after school, I'm going to the library with Kayla to work on that brochure project for Teacher Cadets. I don't mind doing the work, it's just that Kayla's not my favorite person. She tends to just use people. Hopefully we won't stay at the library very long.
I wish tomorrow was an A-day, because then, John could come over and we could be lazy all day. We could get some much needed rest. But no, Tuesday's an A-day and John gets out of school at 12:15. Oh well. He'll probably come over anyway. I certainly hope so.
Ok, I'm going to quit typing now. My legs are killing me and I need to go to bed. For once, John went to bed before I did. I wish I could see him tomorrow.
Oh, crap. I have to do English homework. Oh well. I'll do it....later. Well, I guess I'll do it tomorrow since I'm guessing I won't get to do anything with John. But really, who cares about school? I'm starting to not care anymore. That can't be a good thing. And I seriously hope my parents stay off my back now that I have a job. Yeah, I'm just throwing that out there.
Anyway, I'm going to bed.

Like a light switch.
I met John's aunt and uncle tonight, Suzanne and Eddie. They're both really cool. And I met John's dad, too. I really hope Terri's ok with the whole "April thinks you're mean" thing. Just because I don't like her that much doesn't mean I want her to know it.
I work my first shift at Bi-Lo tomorrow. I'm not too nervous though. I'm actually looking forward to it. Thursday, I met Maria, the co-manager that I'll be answering to most of the time. She looks young, maybe early 30s...but she's cool. I really think this job is going to be a good thing.
My mom and I went shopping for a prom dress today. We went to Spartanburg after all, but The Castle was actually a little disappointing. I was expecting a big store - something like...David's Bridal or something. But the place itself was really small. They had plenty of dresses though, but none of them were really...my style. And the bigger the size, the fewer style choices they have. So Kellie didn't miss out on anything. Anyway, after we left The Castle, we decided to stop by the WestGate Mall. I'm glad we did. We went into Dillard's, and I found several dresses that I really, really liked. But there was this one...man. I love it. It's not something I would normally wear, but I love it. Right now, this is my first choice:
If I don't find anything else, I seriously think I'm getting this one. I love it!
I'm not mad at John. He thought I was mad at him about what he said to his mom. But I'm not mad. When he came up to my car when I was in the parking lot at Bi-Lo, and he asked me if I was mad, I realized I wasn't. I had been, earlier. Well, not really mad. More like....frustrated. But for some reason, seeing him then and hearing him ask just made the frustration go away. By then, I just wanted to make sure his mom didn't hate me or anything. And besides, he would have to do something worse than that to make me really 'mad'. I mean, if telling his mom that I think she's mean is the very worst he can do, then I could never be truly mad at him.
I went to his house tonight. He wanted to take a shower and change clothes before we went over to Naia's. It felt a little weird being there at night, since it was just us in the house. But then again, once we were in his room, it felt like we were in our own apartment or something. He's talked about that before - that sometimes he feels like he's in his own apartment when he's in his room. Now I think I know the feeling he was talking about. Anyway, I watched the first few minutes of Sweeney Todd while he took a shower. It seemed pretty good. But I got distracted when John came out of the bathroom shirtless. (Yeah, I know how middle-school I sounded there, but whatever). It was just that...I'd never seen him like that before. But he looked good. Really good. Just the way he was - shirtless, the jeans, the wet hair - I just liked it. And I'm glad he felt comfortable enough to let me see him that way. Granted, he's a guy, so being shirtless isn't really a big deal, but still. I'm glad he's comfortable with me.
Anyway, tonight was just a really nice night. I had a feeling that things would be really awkward at Naia's, but for once, that feeling was wrong. And John and I went to Waffle House after we left Naia's. That was fun, too. But Waffle House is always fun. And we went down Frontage Road again. I wish we could've hung out a little longer, but he has to open in the morning. Actually, in about five hours.
So, on that note, I'm going to call it a night so I can get some sleep and meet him on break in the morning. I'll post again tomorrow.
Oh my gosh, it's the first day of February.
Goodnight.
