I don't even want to start this post the way it is starting in my head because I have read it so many times before. But aren't cliches and catch phrases just that for a reason? They are true and commonly express what many people want to say. So...let me just say it. I've been a bad blogger. Neglectful. While I do devotedly read each and every post in my neighborhood on a daily basis, I rarely comment and I'm sure many of you have even forgotten about me. I wrapped up my semester yesterday with my biology exam that I am certain I bombed. If I did, however, it is only a minor setback because I am headed to Stephen F. Austin State University next month. UNIVERSITY! Finally. I am thrilled. I am officially majoring in Journalism with a minor in Spanish. I really can't wait. So now, here I am. Sitting in my underwear on the couch with a throbbing headache and too much time on my hands. I got my first cold of the season and it probably won't go away any time soon. Great!! I am going to post some more pictures from the Halloween party I went to with Giulia and some random camera phone pictures that I just want on here. I feel like I really can't give a thorough update because there is too much to say so I am just going to make an effort to be more current in the future.
This is how I spent my Sunday.
I have started boxing up some of my stuff. It's really depressing. Since I am going to be living in a dorm next semester, I have to keep most of my possessions in storage until I have a home again. That makes me sad. My brother, Greg, and I share a room at my parents house since neither of us live there and the house isn't big enough for my whole family. So...when I come home from school, I won't have anywhere to stay. Greg gets the room before I do! Where am I going to live next summer?? That is my big issue right now.
This weekend is going to be so fun! I cannot wait. I just want this semester to be OVER! Oh, and did I mention how happy I am? VERY!
Here is a picture of me before the Halloween party I went to last weekend. I was dressed as an electrical outlet and my friend, Giulia, was my plug. It was a couples costume but we broke the barriers. Uhhh...The party was a lot of fun and I saw lots of old friends there.
Show us something from the 80's.
On Monday and Tuesday when I took a mini vacation from work, I was very dedicated to updating my blog multiple times a day, answering the QotD and Vox Hunt, commenting on EVERYONE's posts in my neighborhood and checking Vox obsessively for updates from anywhere. Then I went back to work. I came home and I was tired. I had no energy to update. The next day was the same, until 3 am came around when I couldn't sleep and I made a post that was seemingly irrelevant to everyone except maybe 2 people, 1 of which would never comment about it. So, this is my formal apology to all my Vox friends who care and actually notice my absence around here. To compensate, I am going to embarass myself! What better way to make amends? Exactly.
Here is me in 2k5, playing with a squishy ball...
Here is me and Lauren at her 20th birthday party over Thanksgiving weekend. I am really drunk and I am experiencing some embarassment about my white girl dance skills but what can I do? Oh yeah, post the evidence on the WORLD WIDE WEB! Enjoy...
And how about some embarassing pictures?
On a different note, I have a depressing little story to tell. Maybe not depressing. Awkward? Ironic? Funny? You decide. Last Friday, a guy from Discount Tire came into the bank to get a change order and he was flirting with me which was awkward in itself but to summarize, he ended up asking me out for "next weekend" (as in, the weekend we are in right now). I said yes because he wasn't old and he was fairly attractive and I don't get asked out by many people that fit those underachieving criteria. He called me that same night to see if I wanted to get drinks with him and some of his friends (...) but obviously I couldn't go because I was on the way to the airport. I told him I didn't have to work on Monday or Tuesday and he said he would call me then. He didn't. SO I texted him on Tuesday night and it went like this:
Tricia: so i guess i have to wait until the weekend?
Jordan: yep, you do.
T: that's unfortunate
J: unfortunate that i have to work 50 hours a week and have other responsibilities before i can go on dates?
T: haha yeah pretty much but i can be patient
...no response...
At this point, I decdided I didn't want to go out with him anymore because he was being a twat and we hadn't even been on A date. Gross. All my co-workers agreed.
Then, on Thursday he came into the bank for another change order. I tried to avoid eye contact in a way that didn't make it seem like I was because, again, that would be awkward. I was helping another customer and trying to take my time so someone else would help him but when Adabell tried to help him he said, "No, I'll wait for Tricia." Great. So I had to help him and he was really nice to me and asked me if Saturday would be okay so I decided to give him another chance. (NO!!!) He said he would call me on Saturday and left.
This morning (Saturday) I got a text message from him that said:
"Tricia. I'm an asshole. I have a girlfriend and I can't cheat. The date's a no go. I'm sorry."
WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Why do I attract men, guys, boys, the opposite (and sometimes same) sex who AREN'T AVAILABLE. Jesus. I don't care about this particular date. Really, it is saving me a lot of trouble that I didn't want to go through with this guy but I felt mildly obligated because I initially said yes and he is a customer. (Rule #1, never date customers. This is probably bank policy somewhere.) Why can't I just get a nice guy who doesn't have a girlfriend or a wife or a secret boyfriend? Please, tell me. I am cursed. I have the worst luck.
Oh, you're married?
Oh, you're GAY?
Remind me again why you asked me out.
I am probably going to be single for the rest of my life. That is, if I decide to stop dating assholes and raise my standards because I think we all know that nobody worth dating is ever going to come into my life.
See ya!
Show us a happy memory.
