cracking open wider

just like everyone, there are a million parts of me. a million things that make me who I am. things I want, things im scared of, things I don't know if i should have, etc. ive made a list of ends i've come to.

1) im gonna have an exotic pet of some kind. maybe itll be a strange fish or maybe a monkey, but it will happen.
2) when i have kids, one will be adopted and one will be the natural way. thats gonna hurt...
3) i dont like the number 9. i dont know why. i just dont. i dont want to use it anymore.
4) i'm going to graduate college with higer than a 3.0 GPA. future self, get ready.
5) i will get a tattoo. they are beautiful if they have meaning and every tattoo i've ever wanted has had some deep meaning.
6) i will have purple hair. bright purple. soon though, so that it doesnt interfere with getting job post college
7) ill lose weight. i dont want to look back in 30 years and regret how i looked. I don't think i'm fat, but im not healthy either
8) im going to get more organized.
10) i'm going to continue making my own jewelry
11) i'll continue singing.

ive given up on extra piercings, skydiving, dropping out of college, being a hippy, or ever joining an organized religion. getting over my biggest fears are also not going to happen.

Don't write me off just yet

I'm a senior in college. I talked to my adviser and she confirmed. I could graduate this year. I'm not going to though. I want to study abroad. and I'm not ready for the "real" world yet. I've still got some growing up to do. I still have a lot to see and learn and do before I'm ready. And maybe this time next year I'll be pulling my hear screaming in frustration, but I guess I could graduate in December if if bothered me so much that I can't wait. But I want the May graduation with my friends. So I'm waiting.

Patrick and I are still together. Happier than ever. I'm going to Chicago in 18 days to see him. I'll spend 6 days there before I have to come back home. It's going to be amazing. Tomorrow is 7 months together. Feels like so much longer and yet no time at all.

I'm still at Lowe's. It's been over a year (by 3 days) that I've worked there. Yick. Well I get a raise soon, that's exciting. I've spent my summer so far doing summer classes, working, cleaning and redoing my room, and going to the pool with Jack and Mom. I bought a cookbook yesterday. The kind that you put your own recipes into. I'm copying the recipes my family makes that I love so that I can have them when I go to college, and eventually when I live on my own. I can't wait for the first time that I pull out my cookbook to start cooking. Patrick can't either lol.

Today we had Tornado sirens going off and they woke me up so we all had to rush to the basement. It lasted about 30 minutes, than we all got to go do whatever because the warnings were all over.

Ok. now that I'm done with this awkward entry... I'll go do more homework. bye
