11:30 am - Cars are a pain! Argh....so I just woke up to my car alarm going off. First thought was: who in hell would want to steal my little ol' Saturn? Second thought: Shit! Shit! Shit! My car is getting towed! It's street cleaning! So my car was about to get towed. Now I'm $40 does poorer(better then $75 if they had taken it all the way to the tow yard). and I have a $20 ticket. Current Mood: annoyed

12:50 am - My nose is cold! Another random update. While doing the Google "Needs" Meme, I stumbled upon an awesome website. Apparently there's a village in S.Africa named Irene. Now, I've never thought that anything I would share the same name with anything neat, but there's entire village that has my name. :) Not only that, but if you don't know yet...I'll be in ATL. next weekend, Oct. 21-23. I won't need a place to stay. However, I may need someone to pick me up and/or take me to the airport. If anyone can volunteer that would be great. Oh yeah, for those of you that haven't met Ryan...you'll get to meet him. He'll be in town as well....hence the no need to for a place to stay. So hopefully I'll be able to see everyone. Now here's the Google "Needs" Meme. To Create a Google "Needs" Meme: 1) Enter "[your name here] needs" in a Google search. 2) Read through the link descriptions, looking for those that actually form a sentence. 3) Post the first 15. 4) Enjoy! 1) Irene Needs a Name. 2) Irene needs to make a decision: should she try to lose weight with a diet program again or should she see the psychologist? 3) Irene needs to stay healthy 4) Irene needs a purse 5) Irene needs to work 6) Irene needs to pull together letters to owners, contractors, and others 7) Irene needs an article on the "Dust to Dazzle" tour. (Does anyone know what this is? Please enlighten me) 8) Irene needs to be a modern, independent woman in search of true love. 9) Irene needs to read the warranty and see what it says. 10) Irene, needs a mentor/career counselor in the payroll field who can help her develop a program to make her more employable (anyone hiring? a change of scenery might be nice) 11) Irene needs help 12) Irene needs to know how to win at slot machines 13) Irene needs to be protected because she knows something 14) Irene only needs her daily dose of confidence medicine from you and that's enough to keep her going until tomorrow, sometimes the day after 15) Irene needs to join two boards together 16) Irene needs major funds to keep going. It took forever to find those. I found nothing under Irene Sung needs, but I found plenty of "sung by Irene." Oh well.

12:13 am - Yay! Car! So first I was getting a new car...then I wasn't....now I really am. Since I know nothing about cars....I need suggestions. Here are the limitations: Preferably 4-door, no SUVs or trucks(sad to say...I really wanted a Dodge Ram, but Mom said no), b/t $20,000-$25,000, will last me years and years, and do well/decently in snow. Suggestions that I have had so far are the Mazda 3s and Nissan Altima. Current Mood: cheerful

01:34 pm So I was a little bored. You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis. </td> Postmodernist 75% Modernist 75% Cultural Creative 63% Materialist 63% Romanticist 63% Existentialist 44% Idealist 31% Fundamentalist 19% What is Your World View?

11:26 pm - Stuck in limbo Apparently, I'm pathetic. I neither excite or bore. I'm in limbo. Work also sucks. I'm really not liking the 6 days a week, 9-10 hours a day. Why is it so hard to find 1 person that wants a part-time job and is available during the day? Current Mood: rejected Current Music: Radiohead - High and Dry

04:28 pm I've come to realize that I don't do so well in keeping touch with those I care about most. I'm not talking about those of you who live 1000s of miles away....I'm talking about those that live just across the river (Zoe and Sasha for example)....even those that live just down the street (Petey). Somehow, for me at least, it's easier for me to keep in touch with those that live the farthest. I keeping promising myself to be a better friend to those that live here, but I never seem to do. Is it b/c it's just easeir to pick up the phone and chat then it is to make plans to go see a movie or have dinner? Or is it b/c I'm just lazy? Current Mood: blank

09:08 am - Yay Internet! So, I'm still in Seattle. I've been here for about 2.5 weeks, it's been one of the most boring times in my life. In case any of y'all are wondering, my mom is doing fine. Everything went well, she's recovering faster then they had expected. Let's see, the highlight of being here was when I finally got my parents connected to the internet. That was yesterday. However, I'm leaving on Friday so I don't get to enjoy using it for very long. But, from now on I can access the internet when I come back for visits. To tell you guys how much time I've had on my hands...I've averaged about 1 book for everyday/day-and-a-half. The really crappy about thing about being here is that I now have no more vocation days. Therefore, I can't get sick. If I do....I still have to go to work. That means I won't be taking any trips until next year.... =( However, I'm sure I can wrangle something if I really need to. I don't think they want me to go nutty at work one day and absolutely lose it one day if I have to wait until the next fiscal year, which is next spring for us. On a brighter note, I may get my own store to manage this fall. That means....RAISE!! Yay! More money. Which is something that I could definitely use. Especially with the amount of dental work I'm getting done. I talked about this with Laura...and we decided I could be a used car or pay for 3.5 months of rent. Talk about expensive. All right, I need to go find other things to do. Current Mood: bored

11:56 pm - It's starting to get better So I've proved to be absolutely horrible about updating this. Therefore, to make up for lost time.....here I go. A lot of things have happened since I last updated my entries....in fact I can't even remember the last time. Anyways to begin with, Lindsey was up here visiting me in May. Which was completely aswesome, I just wish that I didn't have to work while she was here. When she left that was when things got bad. Let's see, my boyfriend broke up with me the day Lindsey left. Which needless to say I became hysterical and it took both Laura and Scott to calm me down. Thank god for friends like them....I just wish that some of y'all were up here at that point. Then things got worse. That same week, I found out that my mom is having brain surgery to remove a tumor, but not to worry b/c it's most likely begign (sp?). Not to worry? Are they fucking kidding me? It's still a fucking brain tumor!!! So of course I freaked out and went hysterical again. However, this was worse the Ryan dumping me b/c it's my mom!!! You only have one Mom!!! So for those of you who know my mom, she's having surgery next Friday and I'll be in Seattle for 2 and a half weeks to be with her. On to a different topic...otherwise I'll break down again. Found out that Lindsey isn't moving up here and I have to find someplace to live with with other people. :( Which I just did last week. Yay! It's going to be a lot closer to work, but it would be more fun with Lindseykins. I finally went to dentist, which I haven't done in about 5 years. The bad news: 2 fillings, root canal, a crown, and wisdom teeth. It would've been 2 root canals, but one of them would've been for one of my wisdoom teeth, so they're going to pull it instead. So let this be a lesson to everyone....go to the dentist! Good news: I didn't have that much plaque on my teeth considering I never floss. Luckily, this next thing is a bit cheerier. Babies galore! Laura and Scott had a beautiful baby girl named Abigail Noel on June 16 at 4:20pm weighing in at 8lbs, 9oz. Family is happy as a clam. My older sister Ifen also just had a baby girl, last week actually. They named her Devon (I think that's how you spell it). So my mom has something happy to think about. :) Things are starting to look up. Let's see...the most recent. I went to the beach this past Saturday and had a blast. I went with Ryan(in case you're wondering, we continued to talk and be close since we broke up). I wore a bikini for the first time...eeeekkkkk! I definitely did not want to take off my shorts or tank top, but it got too hot and I had to break down toss them aside. This is what made the beach so great....Ryan and I got back together. Yay! :) So all in all. My life has been up and down for the past couple of months. One more thing, I miss all of y'all in Atlanta and wish that I can come down more often. But most of y'all do have my number, or you can get it from Lindsey, so give me a call. Love all of y'all lots. So I'll try to come visit you as soon as I can, which will be sometime next year when I get vocation time again. I think I got it all. Whew! That was a lot. Current Mood: tired

04:55 pm - Rain anyone? You know when you wake up and think that it's just going to be one of those days. Well I had one yesterday. It was a long day and it just got even more depressing at the end of the day. Current Mood: sad

09:17 am - Overdue So...just to let everyone know that I'm alive...I figured it's time for another entry. I was talking to my mother a few days ago and she said that I was getting fat and needed to lose weight. Now...here's a question. How would she know how much I weigh or how I look if she's all the way across the question? So I asked her. Her response was, "Iwaine's gained a lot of weight, so that means you have too." Now, does anyone see the logic in that? I don't. After 23 years, 5 of the last years spent apart from Iwaine, I would think that using each other as a basis for comparison is moot. Apparently in my mom's eyes, we're still exactly alike in looks. I have to heartily disagree with that. Now, speaking of Iwaine, I'm sure some of y'all would like to know how's she's doing. She's doing fine...I think. I haven't talked to her in a few months, but last I heard, she was good. She has a steady job. a deadbeat(according to my mom) as a boyfriend, and she's getting by. I have fulfilled my obligation to the world on informing the world on how she is. Another thing. Talking to an ex after years of not talking is very awkward, especially when you parted on very bad terms. On a brighter note, I going to see Lindsey next month...YAY! Maybe I'll get to experience non-jacket weather while I'm in Columbia. So far it's been rainy and cold (with only a few days of sunshine above 50) instead of snowy and cold. I guess that's what I get for moving to New England. Current Mood: content

03:53 pm - I'm really bad at this Sorry guys. So I'm not that great in updating this thing. I guess for me to actually update this. I actually have to spend some time on my computer, but for me to do that I need to be here. Now, that's a problem. As most of you know, I'm never here...so I guess that I need to change that. Let's see..what's new. I'm going down to Columbia for Lindsey's graduation...Yay! I got a promotion at work. That's about it...my life is pretty boring...does anyone want to help fix this? Current Mood: blah
