Time: 1:22am
State of Being: still happy
Song lyric in my head:because i'm happy!
current desire:another oreo?
where am I?: in the livingroom on the couch.
what's that noise?: Nothing yet. gonna start the full music list Itunes shuffle again. I forgot what number I'm on, so I'll just start with 1.  (Song 1: Badfinger-Come and Get It)
So when we last left off, I think I was at age 22 living with Trey working at QuikTrip. Trey had no car and worked an hour away. Sometimes he would stay with friends for a few days so I didn't have to drive so much. With those friends, he would drink, and do whatever drug they had around. He later confessed to me that he did a lot of cocaine too. (Song #2 Queen-Fat Bottomed Girls) Our apartment flooded because of some aiconditioner related shenanigans. They moved us to the adjoining apt. Trey's friend, Seth came to live with us also. The boys would always be up late drinking. That and/or drunk in the morning. (Song #3 The Beatles - Obladi Oblada) Trey would get REALLY drunk, and ended up puking everywhere. He also had a habit of peeing on the wall or the edge of the bed. Yeh so my life wasn't the happiest in the world. Seth eventually convinced me to break up with him, because he noticed the level of unhappiness. Although an alcoholic, Seth did have is logical side. So Trey moved out and it was still Seth and I. He actually became a good friend. (Song#4: Kris Allen-The Truth) Then his girlfriend moved in. They were in the living room, and I was in the bedroom. They had a lot of really loud obnoxious sex every night. So they eventually moved out. And then April of 2007, I moved back to Florida.
Thus another era of my life began. For the few couple months, I lived with my dad again. It was kind of odd. I was 23, used to living on my own for so long. It was only temporary while the apartment I was going to move into with my best friends, Meghan and Lindsay finalized. (Song #5: Kris Allen-Lifetime) During that time, I met Matt. Matt and I met online then officially met at a Chili's. We basically agreed that we would never work out so we just decided to become each others booty calls. Matt was odd. He was obsessed with stuffed sheep, and even slept with one. All around his room were at least a hundred stuffed sheep just lying around. But see I could live with that kind of odd. We all have our quirks, and I guess I found it kind of cute if I talked myself out of being disturbed. (Song #6: Outcast-Hey Ya) But he would get angry really easily. He called me up one day and started yelling at me for not calling him that day, because according to him we were friends, and friends are supposed to talk every day. I said I just saw him yesterday. He accused me of not being a true friend. He would scream at me over the phone. So after experiencing many days of screaming with Trey, and the fact that I had common sense, I knew that screaming was not an acceptable form of communication. (Song#7-The Beatles-She Loves You) I then started talking online to Russ. And never talked to Matt again.
Russ. Russ messaged me online one day. Then we started talking on the phone. For hours. About everything and nothing at the same time. I would come out of my bedroom glowing to Meghan and Lindsay that I just had a two hour conversation on the phone. (Song #8: The Beatles-P.S. I love you) Our first date was May 18th 2007. We officially met at the movies and saw Shrek 2. Lindsay and Meghan came with me, because I wanted them there. I was tired of meeting crazy people online, and I wanted to do it right. (Song #9 Backstreet Boys- How Did I Fall in Love With You) I went up to GA with Meghan to get a moving truck to move the rest of my stuff from my apartment in GA. The only one to help us move was Meghan's friend Lew who lived in GA three hours away. Lew used to live in FL. He and Meghan worked together and had a fling. They were still booty calling each other at that time. So that's when I met Lew. Also at that time, one of my really close family friends had just passed away. His funeral was the exact date I had to be in GA to move. I couldn't make the funeral because I had moving planned weeks in advance. I took time off work. At that time I was working at Albertson's with Meghan. (Song #10. Muse-The 2nd Law: Isolated System) So Lew met me at not a good day. Which was an odd first impression. lol. But on the way back to GA, Meghan was driving the moving van the whole 9 hours. The entire time, Russ and my whole conversation was nothing but various forms of Dude! Sweet! some enlongated vowel sounds, capital letters, numerous exclamation points. Back and forth. for 9 hours. We arrived in FL, and the next day was moving my stuff in the apt day. When I officially met Russ in person for the second time. It was only about a week after I first met him. (Song #11: Beck-Lost Cause) He stayed the night.
So Russ and I began dating. He lived about 45 minutes away. So sometimes I would go there, and sometimes he would come to me. I missed him during the times we were away, and when we were together, I was so happy. One day while I was down there, we were playing a board game. He was being the same him he is today. Being funny and witty. Suddenly, I couldn't breathe. And there butterflies in my stomach. I was internally freaking out because I knew that I had to be in love. I never thought that butterfly feeling was really real. (Song #13-Muse-Exogenesis: Symphany Part 2 Cross Pollination) So as he walked me out to the car that night, he ended up telling me that he thought he was in love with me. It was a movie moment.
Also during that time, I got a job at a theatre, and then Boston Market. I was living with my two best friends, and life seemed really really good. At the end of the year 2007, Russ moved in with us. Along with Lew and our other friend, Mikey. So in the three bedroom apt, there were six of us. Meghan and Lew in one room, Lindsay in hers, Russ and I in mine, then Mikey on the couch. (Song #14-Linkin Park-New Divide) And lemme tell you, that had to be one of the funnest eras of my life. There were many nights were we played Uno until late at night. The girls and I tortured the boys with Backstreet Boys albums. lol! In April of 2008, our lease was up. Russ and I moved into our own apartment. Mikey moved out. Lindsay moved out. And it was Meghan and Lew. They had a plethora of different roommates for a while, but that's irrelevant at the moment. lol
in 2009, I got a job at Wal-Mart in the pharmacy with Meghan. (Song #15: Muse-Showbiz) I started to go back to school to get my teaching certificate so I could teach drama. I really missed Theatre life. I missed directing. I loved kids and decided that teaching drama to the next generation would be amazing. Plus putting on school plays? What could be better? I ended up getting a job that taught afterschool and weekend classes at different schools.
okay I need another typing break. Be back later for part 3. I'll pause the music again.
