random stuff from the back of my head

well, guys, I'm not too sure what to write about right now. I just feel like writing. I'm sitting here, eating sour cream and onion chips and the cookies my mom made me for my birthday. for some odd reason, I'm watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I've seen it many times, I like the first one and the latest ones the most. But i think i'm just watching it because there's not really anything else on, and i have the munchies, so i cant go to bed yet. i wouldnt be able to get to sleep. i started working at the Limited today (well, friday). i really like it so far, everyone there is sooooo nice! it just takes getting used to. im getting good at the register, even though today i only worked for like 4 hours.. my mom's cookies rule!! she makes them with cake mix, so they stay soft and perfect, and she puts M&Ms and chocolate chips in them. they are awesome! if they were maketed, she'd make a lot of money. but then they wouldn't be the special cookies that she makes me for special times. i know all this is kind of random, but, heh, anyway.
so, my ex instant messaged me earlier, saying that his friend found a conversation he and i had one night when he was REALLY drunk online. well, i have the conversation saved on my computer, but i NEVER put it anywhere online. so, i've been trying to find it. i've looked everywhere, but i cant find it! i feel bad that the conversation got online some how, but it's not on here, my myspace , or even on my facebook...i dont use anything else.. but i feel bad because, since he was beyond drunk, he said some odd stuff that he wouldnt want shown to anyone.....but i'm gonna keep looking for it and take it off wherever it may be.
well, im running our of things to say..just felt like writing......oh! look me up on myspace and check out the awesome pics of my dog that i just put up, if you want. my myspace url is cemetarysleeper ............dont ask ,it was like 2 years ago and i was going thru some crap.
ok, well, im out!

short stories- abuse

well, hidy-ho there neighbors and neighborettes! heh, i'm watching Home Improvement, if you couldn't tell by my Wilson-like comment.

I have been thinking about the short stories we were reading in class yesterday (Tuesday)...
Shari's story really touched me. I've been in a couple of abusive relationships, myself. they weren't physical like the one she described, but one was emotionally/ mentally abusive, and the other was emotionally and sexually abusive. abusive relationships are tough to deal with. at least with physical, others can see if you're being hurt, unless the abuser is smart enough to hit only where it can be hidden by clothing. there was a girl from Cordova who went to MTSU, and was beaten by a "friend" so severely, that she had to be put in intensive care. i havent heard how she is doing, otherwise.
There is no reason for any of this to happen. I'm not entirely sure at what to say about the story, honestly. but i do know that it's a very real story. it may not have happened to her, but there are many people who go thru this kind of thing. males and females can both be abused. many times, there are cases where males are being abused by females, but do not want to report it because they think that no one will believe that a female could hurt a male. but it happens.
if this is happening to anyone, or has recently, i urge you to report it if you havent. make sure that it cant happen to anyone else.

walking/ places essay

Walking Essay

You said we could be anywhere to write this essay, so I chose to stay in the classroom. This decision was made mostly due to my just being rather lazy. We were told to write about who we are in the setting that we chose, how it affects us, and where we are going literally and in life. Well, first things first: in the classroom setting, as I am sitting in the part that is facing your desk and the chalkboard and since you are the one at said desk, I guess that makes me the student. I apologize if this last sentence makes me seem sarcastic, I am just writing what exactly is coming to my mind. I have been told that the best way to write a paper or essay is not quite to actually think about what you are writing, rather than to write what you feel and what naturally flows from your finger tips or mouth. I feel that each person learns from others, so I guess in any setting, I could be a student and a teacher at the same time, even though in a classroom setting, I would be considered the student.

But, you wanted to know what we consider ourselves in this environment. I am many things, among which are : a young woman, a student, a teacher, a sister, a friend, a fiancĂ©, a pet owner, a daughter, a granddaughter, a role model, a babysitter, an artist, a cousin, a co-worker, a shopper, a person who is no longer a child, yet not quite full grown. I am all of these things, and more. Most notably, however, I am ME. That is the one thing that will never change, no matter the situation. I have plans for my life, but like the phrase says “nothing is certain, but death and taxes.” I may try to prevent certain things from happening, or try to make certain other things happen, but I believe that things happen for a reason. I plan to become an Interior Designer, but that may change. I want children one day, but I don’t entirely know right now if I will have any or not. The only thing that I can guarantee that I will be is the best me that I can be. I wont try to change for someone else. That’s not fair to me or the other person. Other than all this, I honestly have no idea exactly where I’m going in life. I guess I’ll just wait to find out.

the shooting....post for monday the 1st

ok, guys! im about to go on a rant! i honestly dont car about my grammar or capitalization in this one, i'm fucking pissed off! im sorry if i offend anyone by this blog, but i have got to get this off my chest! you know how that football player was killed this sunday night? well, i found something about it on aol, and this asshole (Jakesummerland) left this comment:

Jakesummerland 02:29:52 AM Oct 02 2007

"Why is it football players (mostly black ones) think there gansta's? I would not be surprised if its over drugs. Im happy he's dead that's one less black criminal to worry about in my eyes"

ok! i understand free speech and all, blah, blah, blah! i wish, however that this racist jackass (who didn't even know the guy, by the way, cuz this dushebag lived in California, i believe is where he said he lived in a comment on another page (this is not the first time i've seen this idiot online)) anyway! he has no idea what this guy is like! i actually met Taylor Bradford before! he played high school football with my older stepbrother in Nashville at Antioch high school. he graduated a year ahead of my brother, but i met him at one of his football games. he seemed pretty nice. i know people change and all, but i dont think that he was the type to change that much. even if he did try to be all "gangsta" and shit, that doesn't mean that he should die!

in my opinion, i believe that the racist jackass "Jakesummerland" is the one that should have been shot and killed. the one thing that we DONT need in this world is more hate! and racist jackasses like him and the other dumb asses are the reason there is so much hatred and killing going on in the first place!

i actually reported his comment and wrote to the department in charge of the comments and such of these articles. i believe that this idiot's account should be deleted on the charge of racist comments on things that he had no idea what he was talking about and for major disrespect for the dead and such, mostly just for being such an asshole! how would he feel if the same thing had happened to one of his friends or to his brother or child? he would thing twice about posting such shit about the person, would he not???


ok, i've had my rant. i feel better. i just really want to string up that asshole! he made false claims about someone that he never knew. the articles i have found on the internet all say that Taylor was a nice guy, never that he was all "gangsta" and shit! where this dee dee dee got that idea, i'll never know. i just know that he better wish that i never find out who he is. i know i'm quite against violence, but after he said that about my big brother's friend, i want to strangle, castrate and torture that son of a bitch!! no one has the right to say that type of horble crap about someone who they had never met....

ok, seriously, i think im done now....thank you for listening, i actually feel better that i've gotten that out. i'm going to try to call my brother in the morning if i have time before class to check on him and to see if he's heard about it. grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
