I just got off the phone with Erik Porn. It's 11:30 here whibh means it's 8:30 in California. He's working on a movie. It sounds like he's been getting a lot of work lately and it's just becoming more and more tempting for me to move out there. He's currently working on a Happy Madison production. Anyway...I want to go.
There are some people at work and we all keep talking about hanging out. The problem is, I'm bad at calling people...as are they. Hmmmmmm....I need to get better at that.
I haven't talked to Errik Malmstrom in about a week now. I was so excited about him coming home and now I've barely seen him. I need to get on that. I have Saturday and Sunday off so I'll try and be good about getting in touch with him, as well as some of the others.
Work was crazy today since Thanksgiving is on Thursday...tomorrow and Wednesday will be even worse, but it'll be fine. It's starting to become fun again lately, but there are definitely certain people I wish I worked with more often, and others less often. It's weird that you can dislike someone as a superior at work because they're such jerks, but then outside of work be (fairly) close friends. I don't get it.
Anyway. That's all that's really going on. Gonna go have a slice of apple pie and a bit of vanilla ice cream, watch TV and go to bed. I want...I NEED a change in my life. Even a small one would be fine. It's just getting tiring the way things are now. |

Please bear with me...it's been a while so this one may be long. I guess I'll start with the most important stuff first. My mom has breast cancer. She just had a single masectomy this past Tuesday. It's all kind of stressful. Luckily, the surgery went well and everything seems okay, but still, I worry, ya know? She'll start chemotherapy in a few weeks I'm sure. I just want to do anything and everything I can in order to help her.
Now: what's up with me. I am a little tired, not much sleep lately and been fairly busy with work, tutoring, and volunteering up at the elementary school. I really enjoy that, but I wish I had more time to hang out with friends and things of that nature. Also, I wish I still saw and communicated with more of my old friends. Errik's home and that helps, but there's still the whole other crowd, the drama guys from high school that I never see anymore. I guess maybe I deserve it in a way. I was never the best at staying in touch with everyone while I was out in East Lansing. What really sucks is I hardly ever get to see my East Lansing friends or talk to them anymore, either. Basically the only people I've been hanging out with lately are from work, which isn't horrible, but it's not often enough and with some of these people, the most we have in common is that we work together. What does that give us to talk about? Work. I am with them all the time when I work, and when I hang out with people it's them, outside of work.
Some people have said they want to hang out but unfortunately neither of us seem really great at calling. I really need to take initiative with that. I'll admit, I'm feeling lonely and whatnot lately, but with all the stuff involving my mom, that's the least of my worries right now.
I am currently in a semester off of MSU which, with my mother's condition being what it is, may turn into 2. I know she'll argue the point with me, but her well-being at this time means more to me at the moment that graduating this semester, or that semester. I am just worried that she'll need something while I am at school and my dad is at work, and nobody will be there to help her. I can't let this happen.
I am lonely. But it's okay. I am getting through much better than I would've expected to.
I've been trying to write lately, but it seems like every time I sit down, I can't find either the motivation or the right words to put to the page. It's really irritating me lately and not helping add to the stress, but hey...I'll live.
Erik Porn keeps wanting me to go out to California and be his roommate. I am seriously considering this. He and our other friend Jeff both got jobs as soon as they moved out there more or less and said they could help me find one, too. I am tempted, once my mom gets better and I have some more cash saved up, to do this. My mom even said if I am going to do it, now is the time...I don't really have anything tying me down here. Oh well, something to think about. Well, hope to hear from some of you soon. |

Hmmmm...seems I still have a livejournal. Craziness....If everybody who reads this can post and let me know that I still exist, that would be great! Thanks everyone. Anyway...now on to some random post that doesn't really matter much and is nothing about my life and I would never put in a real journal, but someone else's journal on here told me to. Yes, I do what the journals of my friends tell me to do. Enjoy.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the 'coolest' book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"Somehow the old bag knew what he was up to - she always had...except for that one time...."
Anyway, if you read this, I love you. Even if I don't know you...it doesn't matter. I still love you. Take that as you will...and please post a reply. I did what other people's journals told me to...now it's your turn.
Off to tutor now, followed up by work at Bueche's Food World. Goodbye. |

I went to the movie store Thursday night and picked up some flicks. Quite a few indies of which there was one copy, films I'd never really heard of. I just got done watching one of them: "13 Moons" Films like this are the reason I want to make movies, or be involved in that process somehow. It was great. A little quirky at times and perhaps a little more sentimental at moments than some of my friends would like, but I thought it was great. If you don't like it...that's your opinion. I would recommend to anyone to at least give it a chance. |

Hey all. Well, first off, thanks Opper for writing more for the script. Very funny. I suppose rather than just always bugging you to write for the script I could give it a shot, but the stuff you wrote, as always, is excellent.
Tonight I went to see REO Speedwagon with Jason at the Clio Amphitheater. I ended up knowing more songs than I expected and that was fun. The opening act was Hank Williams Jr.'s daughter Holly. She was very attractive...but all her songs sounded the same.
Now the real motivation for me wanting to post. I just heard a radio commercial talking about divorces and a group that helps men through them. ADAM: American Divorce Association for Men. Well, I thought it funny that in the ad they said "Shouldn't you put the same effort into your divorce that you did your marriage?" I found this rather amusing because it seems if you're getting a divorce, there likely wasn't much effort put into the marriage at all. I realize this isn't true in all cases, but I found it amusing nonetheless. Thoughts, anyone? Leave a comment!
There's more to write about...just not right this second. |

| Summer winding down |
[Aug. 7th, 2004|12:48 am] |
I've been down lately. It's stupid I know and I have no real reason to, but I do. I've been feeling alone. Not really had the chance to hang out with friends a whole bunch lately. Gah...I hate feeling depressed.
Last Friday I went and saw The Village with Dave and my brother Eric. It wasn't what I expected but I still liked it. I think I just expected something scarier. I called the ending, too. After that Dave and Leslie came over to hang out. That was fun.
Then Saturday I went and saw Harold and Kumar go to White Castle with my buddy Jason (followed by dinner at Hooters afterwards). I didn't expect a lot but this movie had me laughing quite a bit!! I actually went and saw it again today with Eric. VERY funny movie.
Anyway, I just wish I had someone. I know...I've been saying I didn't care. Part of me is perfectly happy alone, part of me wants someone special. I could even just go for someone to hang out with recently. I love my friends but don't see them enough. This is a rather uneventful entry but it had been a while. Hopefully I'll get to see Errik while he's home. That would be good. Well, bye for now loyal readers. |

| Summer |
[Jul. 14th, 2004|01:35 pm] |
Well, my summer has been pretty good. Not a lot going on. Some movie viewing. Some hanging out with friends. A lot of working...then I got fired from Koegel. Yes, that's right, fired. Here's the story:
Due to a bad storm one evening, the power went out. When I woke up the next morning, then, my alarm clock had reset itself. So I woke up at about 8:15 and arrived at work about 10 minutes to 9:00. When I showed up, my punch card was pulled. Now my workplace used a point system and the rule was...if you reached 12 points then you were fired. This lateness would've put me at 7.0 points. Well...not from the bosses (because they'd never admit anything like this) but from I hear...they were looking for excuses to get rid of us. The college help was getting out early every day. They have a new machine that runs faster than the old one and there just wasn't as much need. Also, from what I hear, I was not the only college help let go, recently. This was my 3rd summer working there. The other people who had been let go had also been there more than one summer. The people they kept were first summer employees and therefore didn't make as much as those of us who were fired. Pretty crappy, huh? The job hunt now begins. |

Birthday...YAY! So far it's good. Mike and Jacque came over at about 12:30, then we got Slurpees. Then we played Scene-it. Then we just hung out for a while. Before I knew what was going on it was 4:00 and I slept. Many thanks go to Yoav for waking me up (something my alarm failed to do) so I could make it to Spanish class on time. Yeah, ya know what? 22 doesn't feel much different from 21. |
