Sweetest smelling toilet

James has some of the funniest things happen to him while he lives the life of an unassuming college student. Although I have to say his roommates don't seem too smart.

e u g a r p s
And then Long kept asking me, "What was it clogged with? What was it clogged with?" What on earth do you think Long? Roses? Oh, and no plunger.

random, not so deep thoughts

You know what's werid? I've actually felt kinda bad for not providing more news as to the goings on with my life. Ha! Like there are scores of people out there secretly reading my blog?? Yeah, there are only about 6 regulars; and one is that guy looking for stories on watching his sister in the shower.

My uncle was right, I am a werido magnet.

So, stuff that's been happening: Well, since I called Phil and gave him the freak out, he's called twice. Which is favorable. Classes are going well, and there are no classes for the rest of the week because of the holiday. I'm really excited about that.

Thanksgiving is on Thursday and I have to confess that this is my least favorite holiday of the year. But who am I kidding? Every holiday with my grandma who tells me, just as I've spooned some green bean casserole onto my plate, that boys won't like me if I'm too smart or too fat. At which time all I really want to do is say something like: "Wow grandma, you've solved the great mystery as to why I'm still single. I'll be sure and notify all the papers. And all the news stations will say: 'Natalie : smart AND fat, news at 11' " and then I feel bad for even letting that crap get to me. She's my grandma.

The funny thing is that I'm still laughing.

More music than I know what to do with

Don't you ever want to make a mixed cd with a title that reads : "Songs that you're too embarrassed to let your friends know you own, that's why they're on a mixed cd"? Heheh. Those would be cool gifts.

My non-confusing weekend

On Friday, I hung out with my cousin and her hubby. We even went to the cleanest Waffle House I'd ever been to, which in itself was very odd. Most W.H.'s I've been to look like you could catch some sort of disease from just walking in the door and sitting down.

On Saturday, I went to Dee's mom's house. Dee was telling me about the movie Jackass. She said that if I wanted to see it, she would go with me. And since all the previews I saw to the movie looked pretty funny I really wanted to go. But then I said something like: "Ah man! I wanted to go tonight, but I already have plans." The change in the dynamic in the room was kinda funny.

See, I don't mind telling Pam (Dee's mom) or Dee where I'm going or what I'm doing. But I don't want other people to know. So then everyone's all "who are you going out with" and whatnot. heheh, it was funny. Anywho, as the day progressed I think Dee started to get worried. Even though I know I want to be with Phil, he's in Michigan right now; AND we haven't even gotten back together, nor is there any sudden plan to. My moving there is just giving the opportunity to get to know each other again and knowing that things can grow out of that getting know one another.

I'm not going to pretend to know what Dee is thinking. But if I were her, this is what I would think if I saw myself...I'd think that I didn't need to be going out with other men, let alone having sex with anyone if I am vying for attention from the person that I think is "the one". So what happened Saturday night you ask? Well, I met the guy at the bar to listen to a band. I drove back to my place, alone. Then as I was checking my email, he calls me and tells me that he's on his way over. We eventually went back to his place. And that's all there is...there isn't anymore. We just hung out, with all of our clothes on.

My confusion level is currently: Non-existent. So, everyone stop worrying, ok?

I Heart You

I can be found on page three when you search google for natalie + Conan O'Brien. Google is cool like that. hahah
swirly said what she needed to say 11:24 PM

Luck be a Lady...

Like I said yesterday, I called Phil. Now that I've had about 24 hours to digest everything, I think that I can talk about it a little easier. Let's just do a quick filler, ok? Ever since I started this interpreting program, Summer 2002, I have found my confidence to be going through the roof. This confidence has led to several changes in my life. The main one being that I have a direction in my life and I now know how to proceed. Before, I was squirming--I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I knew that I liked learning, I knew that Sign Language was something I always wanted to learn, and I've wanted to work as a public servant ( i.e. Advocating Deaf rights, etc.). Basically, my life is making sense.

With all this sense making, I have realized that there are parts of my past that I do not perceive as favorable. The biggest one being the relationship I had with my ex of 7 years. In that time, we met and fell in love. There was even talk of marriage--but only once I had finished college. At the time, it sounded wonderful; but it got confusing for me. All of my friends thought I was stupid for wanting to "give up my freedom" yada, yada, yada. So in an effort to slow things down, I began to lower my class load from 13-16 hours to something like 9 a semester. It took Phil 3 semesters to figure out what I was doing. Instead of telling him I was afraid, I continued to act incredibly bratty. By the time I was graduating, May 2000, he'd had his fill of my crap. And he was trying to breakup. He eventually did. And it was hard, since we had been together for so long. We had to separate property and whatnot. He'd even lent me money to pay for a semester at school. I went to work for a publishing firm, and loved it. But I missed him, even though I was a dating/sex machine.

Just before Sept. 11, Phil and I tried to patch things up. But he had a bunch of crap going on in his life that made normalcy look like a fairytale. He up and quit his job and went on a 6 month, ok it was really on 2 months, tour of the U.S. So then there we were; not just one person squirming with trying to find their place, we were now two people doing it. And our chance was kinda fucked. Oh, did I mention that in the entire 7 years that we were together he never remembered my birthday? What can I say? He's a math nerd, (which he hate me calling him. Even though I think the word nerd is grossly misused.) dates aren't his thing. But he can tell me where every freckle is on my body--that's cool.

But this year, he called me on my birthday. And we spent an amazing 3 hours on the phone catching up. And the conversation opened with him asking me if I was seeing someone. My answer was yes. I went on to explain that it wasn't serious, because the man I was seeing would be leaving for grad school in Dec/Jan. Phil seemed please with this answer. The rest of the conversation consisted of him sounding genuinely surprised that I was extremely happy with my choice to become an interpreter. He'd let it slip that he, unlike me, was not as lucky at love nor was he happy with his current career in retail. I empathized with his situation, it sounded so familiar. We finally got off the phone, only after I asked if I could call him again. He said yes!

The last time we tried to patch things up, it was weird because we just slipped back into old routines. But this time, I knew if I wanted him back I'd have to do more...be more. I am. My confidence has helped me so much in that area. Anyway, so I knew that I would have to figure out a lot about my life before I could call him again. My friend Paul was actually very helpful with this part. He asked me two things: "Are you willing to be happy when you move? Are you willing to allow yourself to be happy with him?"

It was my own answer that shocked even me. "Paul, I know he's the one I want to be with. There is no doubt in my mind." Crazy! It just seemed so clear. Like when you look down into the clearest water and see the bottom, that only looks like it's 2 inches away--but it's more like 200 feet away. But still, I knew. So then I started to try to work all this out in my head, but there's just not enough room in there. See some of my other posts if you don't believe me. So I talked. Talked to my friends, Claire, Christina, Dee, and Tami. Tami helped me put together a timeline, and that began my bible. In order for Phil to know that I still cared for him and that I wasn't just giving him lip service, I needed to make sure he knew I was sincere. I had initially planned to go there in March and surprise him. But then, I called him yesterday.

We spoke again for another amazing 3 hours. In which time he again remarked about my being happy. He confessed that he was not. He even went as far as to say that there was no way I could miss sex more than he, since he had gone longer without it. heheh. Suddenly, I was telling that I was coming up there in March, would it be possible for him to get some time off? He responded affirmatively. Phil went on to talk about his roommate. Apparently, his roommate is now looking at moving into a house. For some reason, this scares Phil. This is where I see my opportunity.

"I'm afraid of being alone." He says.
"Don't worry, that won't happen. I'll be your roommate." I tell him (about this part of the conversation I feel like I'm about to puke, being nervous).
"But you're in Texas."
"I'll move there."
"What?!?"
"You heard me. I'll move there. I'm not afraid."
He laughs.
"I'm serious."
He stops laughing, "I know you are."

So I suggest this, since it sounds like he's hyperventilating: I'll be there in March and we can talk about it some more. If it sounds like a good idea, then I'll be done with my Spring term in May and I'll move after that. He agrees again. Now, I know that this is not definite getting back together material but it's a start. I think that my sincerity has always been in question (or doubt, whatever) with him. I'm ready to take a chance in life that I am not sure of the outcome. And this is a big deal since I usually try to run the numbers on everything.

Ok, so now you know what has transpired. And I'm totally through with it. At anytime where I start to waiver, please direct me back to this post.
swirly said what she needed to say 11:16 PM

Ok, this post is for Natalie, and for anyone else who might be interested...
So my lunch date wasn't exactly a "date". It was more of two people meeting as friends. I mean, I insisted that I pay for half of the bill, so theres one example right there. Anyways, we ate at a sushi place near school, and it was soooo good. I am now officially in love with sushi. I mean, before, I just liked it, but now I love it. And we just talked, and got to know each other. His name is Ryan, and he's graduating after this quarter. He's really nice...as a friend. I would love to hang out with him again as friends. One thing thats cool about him is that he talks. I hate guys who don't talk...and just sit there like a rock. Ryan talks about anything and everything, so that makes him cool. I asked him to go bowling with me and a couple people from my work tomorrow night, so hopefully, he'll be up for it. He has a study group thing to go to, but he said he'll probably go bowling.

And as for me being at Pete's, I'm just there as friends, I guess. But when we want a little more than friends, we just go ahead and do it, if you know what I mean. OKAY!! Too much information, I know. But we both made it very clear that we care for each other a lot. And I decided to wait for him till at least January or February. I just cant imagine dating someone right now. And I know Pete made a ton of stupid mistakes, but I'm willing to take it, as long as I have him in the end. I honestly can't imagine being with anyone else...and I know what its like to be with other people, and they SUCK. Well, thats all for now. Ta-ta!
kikpik said what she needed to say 6:18 PM

I was brave, serious, honest, and happy--I want more.

So, I called Phil tonight. And basically through the course of 3 hours managed to get it out that I want to be there with him. He started by saying that he was worried about not having a roomate when his current one moved into a house. That's when I told him I would be his roommate, and I was serious. It freaked him just a bit. "I'm not scared," I told him. That's what really got him freaked. This is just the super condensed version of what happened, and not even that. But suffice it to say that my plan is in motion. Now I have to go through with everything, and I know I can do it. It was true, I'm not scared. By this time next year, I'll be a bloggin' in a new home in a new state. I love my life.

So Pete is on AIM right now, and I think he might be talking to his little girlie girl, Emi. I'm going to kick that girl's ass into oblivion, if I ever see her. I want to IM him and ask if thats what hes doing, but then I don't want to look like the weak one. So, maybe he'll IM me. Nah, probably not. Sometimes, I wonder why I'm waiting for such a pathetic excuse for a boyfriend. He's broken my heart so many damn times. Well, maybe in his eyes, I've broken his too. I dunno, I'm just confused. I feel another depression stage coming up around PMS time in a couple of weeks. Uh-oh.

Friday night is best

I love Friday nights. I used to like them more when I was younger, not that I'm old, they just seemed a little more magical. Fridays, while I was in high school, always represented a culmanation of all the crap that you'd been hearing all week long. You know: who was sleeping with who, who broke up, who threw up in their parents car, blah blah blah. As I got into college, it was more like: who got drunk and screwed, who got stoned for the 1st time, who got stoned for the hundred and 1st time, who wreaked their car in the drag race, blah blah blah. And usually you found this all out at the weekly kegger. So, of course, by Saturday repuatations were lowered or had skyrocketed. Yeah, Fridays were cool.

But now? We all just hang out until about 11:00 and then head out to the bar to hear a friend in a band, movies, blah blah blah. I kinda miss the drama, or at least hearing about it. Although it's still surprising how a steaming pile of pancakes tastes so good after a night of beer drinking. I'm glad that hasn't changed.
swirly said what she needed to say 7:33 PM

For anyone who cares, I have a lunch date with a friend of a friend, who also thinks I deserve better than Pete. Ok, I know a lot of people think I deserve better, but seriously peoples, I love Pete...a lot. And I'm glad that you guys are looking out for me, but please, just stop breathing down my neck. So, Pete can be a total idiot sometimes, but I'm willing to take all this shit from him, just because I know his true self, and his true self is masked by all that immature and childish attitude of his....which I'm giving him an ultimadum to freggin grow out of...or else. But anyways, back to my lunch date...its with a guy named Ryan. He's graduating this year, so he's a couple years older than me. But, I'm totally up for finding new friends, especially guys because I have like 2 guy friends, but as for boyfriends, I'm not looking for that right now. Because honestly, I can't even do that because I'm so freggin hung up on Pete. And I think he's kinda hung up on me, just maybe not to the extremes as me. Well, ok...this is where things get sticky, so I'm not even going to go there.

Yeah, its 4:10 a.m...what the heck am I doing up?? I dunno. ^_^

And as for being back at my apartment for the first time in a few days, its very weird. (I spend the past few days at Pete's, playing Kingdom Hearts). I think my roommates might be kinda mad at me, and I don't even know why. I think theyre mad because I'm with Pete, because they think I deserve better. They probably think I'm getting back with him, but I'm not, jeez. Well, at least for the time being. I am simply using him for his goddamn Playstation, and because he took me to the Psychologist on Wednesday. Oh yeah, they're upping my dose of Celexa...or maybe even put me on something else. Ahhhh, the perks of being psychotic. ^_^

Uterus and Embarrassment

This morning when I got up, I had no idea that my trip to school would be a lesson in how to avoid road rage. Seriously. I pull out of my driveway, on time, and head through our subsection to the highway. On the way through, this jackass comes out of nowhere and cuts me off. I'm cool with that most of the time. It's probably because I know everyone's in a hurry in the morning and probably not really meaning to be an asshole. But as I sat behind the man in his green 2002 VW, purple heart license plate, and a bumper sticker that reads: "Women's Rights for Unborn Women". As I sat there, the sun pouring through the trees and there were even birds singing today, all I could think about was this guys bumper sticker. What the hell? How dare he, a man, tell me what I can and cannot do with my uterus! I certainly don't tell any man what to do with his penis. As we got the green light to go, I noticed myself becoming more aggressive in my driving toward this man. It took me about 5 miles before I realized that he's just one person, and so am I. But it still made me mad.

When I got to class today, we had an open discussion about bicultural/bilingual teaching methods. I'm always worried when we have open discussions. I don't know about anyone else's class, but I know in mine there are a couple of individuals that don't know they shouldn't offer up their opinions. I watch as these people start running off at the mouth; there is a visible shift in the classroom dynamic. People don't turn to look at them, heads bow; doodling commences. It's almost as if everyone is silently praying that they will hurry up and stop embarrassing themselves. This is especially painful for me, because I get really embarrassed about my own class offerings; it's worse when it's someone else. The closest description I can come up with is a very mild panic attack. It's really uncomfortable.

The teacher posed the question: "Why don't Hispanic students just learn English?" First let me say that I don't think every Spanish Language speaker is Hispanic, and it's total crap that educators still think this way. It's just not true nowadays. Anyway, the question is posed and a girl in the second row begins...

"Well, because they're in America. If I went to another country I would be immersed into their culture and language." (I agree with the latter part of this statement)

"Well, other countries are teaching their children English. Why can't be teach American children other languages?" Someone else pipes up. (I agree with this.)

"Having the benefit of traveling around to a few places, sometimes I feel like they put up English signage and whatnot because they know that American's are lazy. There are some travelers that expect everyone to speak English, no matter where they are." Another person says. (I agree with everything this guy said)

Then the girl in the second row gets crazy ," Well, we are a world power. And as such people should learn to communicate with us".

It's this girl that I suddenly become embarrassed for. Did I mention she's the one that is convinced that deaf people are the result of alien abuction? Yeah I know, weirdo.

Miss Thang, we are not the only "world power" as you called us. Eesh.


swirly said what she needed to say 3:30 PM

My first post on Natalie's site!! Yay! How nice of her to invite me...I really needed a place to vent without Pete reading these. I still miss him so damn much, even though he was very cruel to me right after we broke up. Strangly, he is the person who can make me the most depressed, and he is also the person who can make the happiest. Its weird how love is like that. Despite that, I still have a strong feeling we will get back together. We are very good friends now, and I still spend the night with him when I have to. And of course, I get insanely jealous if he's with another girl...and he gets jealous over another guy, he'll just never admit it. Oh well, love sucks. *siigh*

As for Natalie's bird incident, I swear...he must've been possessed. Have you guys seen The Ring? When I was reading her post, I was thinking about the part in the movie with the horse. Don't worry peoples, I didn't give anything away. Scary movie, by the way.

Ok, seriously, I need to get abck to studying for my philosophy midterm tomorrow. I've been to that class..........like twice. Ohmigawd, I'm dead. Hahahahaahah *thats suppossed to be a nervous laugh*

Attack of the bird

Ok, so my sister brought this beautiful yellow cockatiel to my home. He was sweet the 1st day we had him. But when Nicole dumped here and we had to put him in a cage finally he became really distant and mean. So of course, I have made it my personal mission to correct this behavior. What am I doing now? Spending an hour a day with a bird! I let him out of his cage and he now sits happily on my right shoulder. It's been this way for the past 2 weeks. Today was normal, until he climbed really close to the crook of my neck. He then leaned over and bit the corner of my eye!!

I'm not sure if it was the sudden screaming fit, or all the dancing around in pain that set the bird flying crazily around the room. Oh, did I mention that his wings are clipped? And when I say flying I really mean flailing. Both bird and human have survived. Later, when I went back to check on him I noticed he was out of seed. Could he have been trying to tell me to feed him?

Manic?

I ate dinner with Dee tonight. At some point of the conversation she told me that all this happiness stuff was my manic side taking over. If that were true, would I have had a manic streak for 4 weeks? I hate being self-conscious about this crap. It's kinda like I'm not supposed to be this happy. Hmm...let's see--Stuff I'm happy about:

  1. I finally know what I want to do with my life.

  2. I don't have any huge problems right now. For example: I'm not flunking out

  3. People (men) are paying attention to me.

  4. I have made serious steps to move.

  5. I'm glad to be alive.

Perhaps she just doesn't know that being happy is a new thing to me.

#3 is a weird one too. Dee and I were discussing that at dinner as well. She said, "It's either feast or famine" when it comes to men. She went on to say that all the sudden male attention is due in large part because I am trying to get my shit worked out about Phil. I agree with that.

Sex and it's expiration date

I have this theory. Actually, I have many theories. It's this one in particular I have steadfastly believed in since I was about 18 years old. So far, it has yet to be disproved. The theory is this:

In the process of a breakup, you can still have sex. Breakup sex has a short life span in and of itself. And of course, it's all contingent on the severity of the breakup. You could have a window of 2 weeks or 2 days, it just depends. What it essentially boils down to is pity sex (and this is another theory all together). Most of the time, breakup sex is the most amazing sex you 'll have in a relationship (except for 1st time sex). So, it's not necessarily bad--but it could lead to massive guilt complex a few days later.

My theories are jacked.

I was talking to Paul last night and I told him that I was happy. He seemed both surprised and relieved. He said that it's been a long time since I told him I was happy. Have to agree with him there. But it's totally true, even though some parts of my life are crap. Well, it's all the other parts (the good parts) that outweigh that. Right now though, my excitement and happiness are just too much for me to handle. My mind is moving too fast and I can't make sense of everything inside. I like it.

Paul was taken a back by a confession I made to him though. He's always known me as someone that doesn't take crap off of anyone. It freaks him out, I think, for me to be or act weak. But I'm not down on him about it. How could you be down on anyone that knows you better than yourself (which can be rather disconcerting)? He can even tell you, if you ask him, how I'll respond to marriage proposals. His response is something like this: "I could have told you from across the room what you were gonna do!" He's cool like that. Even if sometimes he spills your secrets when he's not supposed to. I'm lucky to have him around.

I met a girl in my ASL class, Tammi, who I've really bonded with. She's graduating with a degree in social work this December. Now, I don't know if it's the social work background or something else that gets people to want to do great things. When we had lunch on Thursday she presented me with a challenge. And I am going to take up her challenge. There's even a progress report, about said challenge, due on Tuesday. I can't wait!

It's the prophecy of Dancing

I told you, dancing around like a fool never lies.

New girlfriends
I recently introduced Christina to Googlism and she did one on Emi, the new girlfriend. I'm surprised she didn't bold the following that was listed:

Ayeeee!!! The Monsters!!! AYEEEE!!

emi is an intermittent or continuous noise

She could have left off the second part of that statment.

Friday Five

1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith?

My mom is Baptist, my father is Catholic--it's kinda hard to find a hapy medium. As I got older I leaned toward Catholisim.

2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not?

I'm not hardcore Catholic, but I know it has it's place.

3. What do you think happens after death?

Two things I try not to think about: Growing old and dying.

4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)?

I have two-- I've always thought that confession was cool. Ash Wednesday isn't a bad gig either.

5. Do you believe people are basically good?

I used to, then I met some people that I am convinced never were goood.
