1:23 am	The Bank Letter I finally got the bank letter from BB&T telling us whether or not we were keeping our jobs. Good thing for me - I'm staying in the same branch and I'll be getting a raise. I'll be up to $10/hour now instead of the $8.75 I was doing before. I don't know if we'll be getting the incentive pay for working at the extended hours branch though, so we'll have to see about that. I talked to Cheryl about getting my six month review (which I'm in my 9th month of working there and still haven't gotten). She said she'd talk to someone about getting it done tomorrow. I'm supposed to get a raise with that too..so let's hope all goes well and I get another one. I'll certainly need it because I won't be working as many hours in the fall thanks to my 18 hour class load at school. Umm...I was gone to Puerto Rico on vacation this past week. It felt too short...I had a great time with my family. I just wish it would've been longer. I already miss home...didn't really feel like coming back to the states. -sigh- Oh well...maybe I'll go back one day ne? Well, it's late and I've got a 10-7pm shift to pull in the morning. Sweet dreams everyone.. Current Mood: sleepy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:14 pm	10am-7pm It's a little after 3pm...I've got to hold on until 7pm. Grr...and the people don't stop coming in. I brought my guitar to work and took an extra ten minutes for lunch. I needed to relax and destress from it all I guess. I played a Spanish song to Jones and my ballad to Shelli. Jones said that I had a lovely singing voice and that when I had eveything on a cd that he wanted one. I just smiled and said thanks. One of my goals for this semester was to get over my stage fright. Yeah, I'm a bubbly, loud, hyper person, but on stage it got a little different. People have expectations or they're judgemental and you never quite know what's going on through their minds while you're up there singing your heart out - performing. x.x Ryan is still...well, in love with me. He tells me quite frequently when we're on the phone. We talk about anything really, and nothing much in particular. It's fun though. He's very knowledgeable in a lot of areas, which makes conversation interesting. Haven't heard from Jason in quite a while. I hope he's doing ok. One of the lst things I head he was getting ready for some type of cage fight in which he gets $250 just for participating. I think he gets around $1500 for winning the fight. I guess that's not too bad as long as he's the one winning. I just hope he doesn't get himself hurt too bad. Wai~ And I had more to say but I forgot what it was...heh.. oh well. Until later loves!

6:05 pm	what to title it....? I know, I know..haven't been on in forever and a day... whoop. Anyway, I found out that my friend Ryan is in love with me. -takes a breath and exhales- I'm not really sure how to take it either. He said he didn't want or expect anything in return, and I know he's telling the truth. He's been a good friend since I met him so I can't complain about that. He would probably be an extremely sweet and caring boyfriend too. He's already that way now. I guess I kinda have some feelings for him, but I'm not going to jump into anything...and I'm not sure that they're strong enough for me to do anything about. I don't want to end up hurting him either. In all honesty, I still think about Jason...a lot. Sometimes more than I guess I should considering that I'm still with 'the gerbil' as Jason puts it. -scoffs- I think if I were to make any changes in my "love life" aka "too much drama that's not worth the crap" department of my life, I'd like to just stay single for a while. I remember being single. It was fun... Oh yeah, I got hit at work with this 'tube' thing and had to run to get some worker's comp something or other and am now taking some pretty strong meds...whoo.... I'll take one of them a little later...they knock me out pretty good.... Current Mood: sick (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:13 pm	quickie So today was pretty cool. I got the day off...hoorah! Anywhos, I just chilled out for most of the day and played Dragonquest VIII. ^_^ Pretty addicting game once you get into it. Saw the Conner man today too. Got something to eat at Wendy's, doodled for a bit, and read some street fighter comic books. Ah, days off are nice...

5:05 pm	eep! o.o -dodges the flying rubber bands from Maria at the drivethru- o.o; I thought we were supposed to be professional when we're at work....ha!!! That half of the moonpie that I ate is NOT agreeing with me right now. It's probably fighting the ranch doritos and grape juice in my stomach. bleh... I worked on some of the link stuff for my website today. I'm gonna have to postpone the meeting this Thursday though - since I'll be pulling another full day at work. x.x I hate it. However, I'll make time for it tonight when I get off at 7pm. After the website stuff I'll probably let the ps2 eat my brain. -grins- I bought Tomb Raider: Legend and it kicks butt! Everything is completely redone and yeah...it just rocks. OMG! You won't believe who called me last night!!! JASON!!! -squeals with glee and refrains from completely freakin' out- I'd been thinking about him this past week - especially the last few days. I was so happy to hear from him. He's stopped the craziness that he got into for a while there, which really makes me feel better. I may not be his girlfriend, but I really do care about him. We talked for about 40 minutes last night..or something like that. I even started shaking while we were talking. Guess it might have been because I hadn't heard from him in such a long time. A part of me thought I might never get to talk to him again, though I tried to keep that from entering my mind. He's supposed to drop by work before I leave. -smiles- I'm looking forward to that. He's got... 1 hour and 16 minutes left before I go home. Heehee.. So yeah...that's stuff for right now...or at least what I can remember. I'll try to get back on here more often. woo~ Current Mood: bouncy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:38 am	Festival and...rain? I'm sleepy, but alas, that doesn't stop me. This week has been rough with all the working I've had to do and then school on top of it. Oh well, can't do too much about it, can I? I'm looking forward to tomorrow -the Festival of Cultures is supposed to be going on downtown for a good portion of the day. I think it starts around 10am and it'll probably last until 4 or 5pm. I go every year. It's fun to be outside, listening to music, hanging out with your friends, and getting to try a bunch of different foods. -smiles- I only wish I had my typical Puerto Rican outfit to wear so I can 'show off' a little. The weather people are calling for rain tomorrow too, but I'm hoping that it won't affect the festival. Ryan and Andrew are supposed to be playing some songs too, so I'll have to ask Ryan when it's all going down so I don't miss it. Talked to Shawn last night for the first time in ages. Man, now I remember how much miss that boy. We used to work together with Cormetech Inc. a few years back. He was telling me stories about Sam and Taylor (who also worked with us at Cormetech - they were maintenance while Shawn and I were Information Techs). Anyway, Taylor somehow managed to crush the door of Sam's truck. HA! I'd love to have seen his face when THAT happened. Something about the truck being in neutral and Taylor trying to push it. -snickers- Did I mention that both Sam and Shawn liked me back then? -grins smugly- I know, it's a gift. I tried to get my resume back for my co-op class, but that's going crazy. It's gone missing and they can't find it so I'll have to print off another one, get it revised again and then work on the revisions. Then I still have to do some research on some websites for it and have the meeting with the lady about the class. Dang it, with as much as I'm working I'd BETTER get an A! Okie dokies...I'm gonna go do that now. Until next time...and Duo, I'm still waiting for that post of yours. -grins- Bye! Current Mood: bored (Comment on this)

10:12 pm	34+16=50 So my boss over at the bank thinks I can manage a 34 hour work week. What's the problem with that you ask? The problem is that I'm also enrolled in 16 credit hours in college at the same time, bringing me to a whopping 50 hours of NOT FREE time. Need I mention the extra hours that I have to squeeze in there for all my homework? You know, like reading and taking notes, studying, writing papers, practicing, etc. -rubs his temples with a frustrated sigh- Apparently I'm superman and didn't know it. We'll see how I survive - or don't - this week. On a different note, my performance at First Presbyterean church went really well. Once again I had about half the church congratulate - though mostly thank me, for going and singing for them. I'm not complaining. The only thing is that you better get a good night's sleep before going...because it's pretty... 'solemn' ...or boring, if you will. I won't have a problem on that Thursday night performance on the 13th, but the Easter performance is gonna get me. I say that because I'm not Presbyterean and I'm not all gun-ho about spending Easter at a church that's not my own. I'm trying out a little something and soliciting some extra help for my website. There's no possible way that I'm going to get anything done on it this entire week with the 34 hour work week and all my school work. Alright, I'm getting hungry and a tad bit sleepy, so I think I'll be turning in for the night soon. Until later my loves. Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)

10:41 pm	test So I ended up -not- going to Nancy's house like I thought I was going to. I had a TERRIBLE night on Monday. I went to bed around 11:30pm and then around 2am I woke up and wasn't able to go back to sleep until 5:00am. The reason? Feminine problems of the utmost disgusting and painful nature. The medicine didn't even kick in for an hour and a half. -curses at it- I did manage to sleep in until around 11am though and got some of my strength back. Did some studying and even managed to relax a little during the day. I took the test this morning and I think I did rather well. I wasn't going in there with very high expectations, but rather with an odd sense of calm. It was nice. The weather was beautiful today too. It got to about 70 or 72 degrees and there was a light breeze which made everything feel great. I love sunshine and warm days- they make me feel alive. I played my song for Garret, Nancy, Tyler, and this other guy that I can't remember his name... x.x NEwhos! They all loved it. Garret said he would start trying to help me put something together as far as a demo to try and get to a record company. One can dream right? -grins- I'd like to do some of the music from my voice class as well. It's a different genre, but still kicks butt. Those with a real ear for music would enjoy it. I have to do laundry tomorrow...oops, sorry, random thought. ^_^; Anyway, I'm gonna hop off and find something to do to keep myself entertained. Maybe I'll work on the male anatomy for a while.... -smirks- Nothing wrong with creating eye candy! -purrs and bounces off happily- Ja' Current Mood: pleased (Comment on this)

6:03 pm	Lyrics and music Between Wednesday and Thursday night of this last week I ended up writing that song. It just came to me - made me happy that I didn't have to think to much on it. It was slightly based on a past experience from not too long ago..well, mostly based on that experience. Anyway, it sounds really nice. I'm heading over to Nancy's tomorrow most likely for about 2 hours and I'm going to play it for her. Her hubby, Brian, might then put some drums on it, but they'll have to be light. It's a ballad after all. I'm going to need a second guitar going at the same time as me on a few parts, so their friend Kevin is also going to be there and he'll most likely be willing to help. I'm going to see if we can all get together and 'jam' this Saturday for a little while after I get off work. I'm wanting Jessica to come with me as well so we can get her piano skills incorporated. Seems like we're actually going to try to put something together. Rock on. So now I'm going to go back to work... x.x And to studying for my history term exam..... DIE SATAN! -snickers- Oh yeah, I'm checking up on motorcycle insurance too. woo~ And I have another business meeting over the phone tomorrow morning at 11:30am.

11:49 pm	Performances on Schedule It seems that when I sang at First Presbyterian here in town they fell in love with me. With that said, I've been invited to sing again for them three times during this upcoming month of April. The three performances will be: (1)April 2nd, a Sunday morning -Pie Jesu with the music by Malcolm Archer. (2)April 13th, Maudy Thursday - Pie Jesu by Andrew Lloyd Webber Where Are the Angels by Ruth Elaine Schram (3)April 16th, Easter Sunday - The Holy City with music by Stephen Adams I've fallen in love with "Where Are the Angels" and I can't get enough of it. The entire song is done in minor chords and arranged so beautifully that I had goosebumps on my goosebumps when I first heard it. GO HERE: http://www.choralmusic.com/church_communion.htm Scroll down to "Where Are the Angels" and download the full song being performed by a choir. Absolutely gorgeous. I also learned some new chords in my guitar class today based on an E Major 9 chord. Needless to say, I'm coming up with a ballad - type song and lyrics to go along to them. My creative juices are flowing and I can't deny them their right to express themselves. Current Mood: productive (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:39 pm	Tuesay I was pretty much a bum today and I loved every minute of it. I slept in until about 9:30am and that made me happy. Washed my hair and dried it the correct way - so it didn't go 'poof' everywhere. Took Loki to Petco to get his toenails trimmed...oh brother. Let's just say he had a 'puppy accident' on the floor and I had to clean it up. -snickers- It was pretty funny though. I told the lady at the counter and she just kinda shrugged and pointed at a red fire hydrant with a bunch of cleaning supplies on it. Apparently it happens often. Worked on my website some more today too and finished the Grappler Baki and the Battle Arena Toshinden page. woo~ Go me. -points again- Go to my site! www.zaidinc.com -tries to hypnotize- Oh yeah, drew a little mini pic to go on the left border of the site too. I colored it on photoshop and uploaded it, but the site's being a little iffy. I tried refreshing it but it didn't show...so maybe it'll be there tomorrow. -shrugs- Let's hope so anyway. Umm...saw I, Robot while working on some stuff...Loki decided to have another puppy accident at home - in my room - on my bed. -glares- Stupid dog. So I'm finishing up washing the bed sheets, though I already changed them. I'm not gonna sleep on wet stuff tonight. Ok, time to go brush my teeth, gather the laundry, and get ready for bed. G'night!

12:03 am	Free Tuesday Wai~! I got tomorrow off of work! I'm so happy. I have to work on Saturday to make up the hours, but that's ok because it's in the morning and it goes by faster. I'm planning on working on my website some more and seeing about getting some much needed R&R if I'm not too busy trying to get all my history crap organized. Speaking of the website - I've expanded...sort of. Anyway, it's not www.buybargaindirect.com by itself anymore. That's just gonna be a part of my overall..whatever I'm doing. So the actual thing that I'm working on right now is www.zaidinc.com I'd appreciate it if someone went and checked it out and told me what they thought of it. Hey, even a comment on the layout would be great. Thanks. On the topic of History, I asked off for next Tuesday and Thursday. I've got a test on Wednesday and Friday and there's NO WAY that I'll be even half-way prepared for them unless I take the day off to cram. Oh yeah, looking into maybe getting a motorcycle too. Gas is ridiculous. But then again I don't know how much insurance would be if I added a motorcycle to my policy...hmm....I'll have to look into that. Anyway, it's late and I'm past dead in the exhaustion meter. Until later everyone. Sweet dreams. Current Mood: pooped (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:54 pm	WOOO! ^_^ Today was a good day. I slept in a little, took a shower, shaved, all that good stuff. Jordan came over and we had some breakfast/lunch and played some video games for a while. I wasn't doing half bad either. At 5pm I met at Tres Hermanos with Jessica, Kyle, Austin, and Robin. The day just got better from there. It had been a long time since I'd gotten to hang out with the core of my friends, and I enjoyed it very much. Some guys kept staring/checking me out the whole time we were eating, but I didn't give any signs of being interested. Sucks for them. -snickers- OH! I got to see Kyle's Frodo sculpture too! Well, Frodo's finger when it was chewed off my Golem with The One Ring on it. -snickers again- It was really good too! Go Kyle!!! After food we all decided to go to Deer Park and we ended up staying there 'til about 10pm. We played hide and seek in the dark! Wa! It was so much fun!!! Kyle lost his keys before we left and we turned the lights on three of the cars on and drove them onto the grass so that he could look for them. I was on car watching duty though, to make sure no one stole them. -grins- Everyone scattered and went home after that pretty much though. Kinda wished there were more hours in the day so we could've hung out more. I went to Java Junkie but it was closed so I went with Jordan to Donut Connection instead and got some hot chocolate and donuts. Yumm. Anyway, I think I'm gonna go doodle a little bit while I let my brain rot in front of the tv. w00t. Current Mood: chipper (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:19 am	Characters I drew two original characters these past two nights. Well, I drew comic book-like pictures of them. Even got out my prismacolor marker and inked the outlines. Not too shabby. Now I'm researching cyborgs, androids, and the like so that I know exactly what I want to make of each of them. Sure, whatever I end up doing will have normal humans in it, by if they're ALL just human then it won't be as fun. So I know I'll have at least one cyborg and right now I've got two androids - though I don't know how it'll end up. Heh, I'm gonna go back to wasting my class time now.

9:06 pm	Woke up with a terrible back pain this morning. It went on during the day and it's still causing me problems. I took some aleve and laid down with a heat pad for a while - at least some of the sharpness of the pain is gone, though it still hurts if I move in certain ways. Jam session was good in my guitar class today, not too stressful. I have to work on my voice stuff though, since I haven't done it in about three weeks to close to a month. Need to work on my website some more too.. -sigh- Maybe when all this is over I'll make enough money to have made it worth the while. Current Mood: drained (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:09 pm	I've been hurting all day. Not really sure why, but I think it was the marathon of a walk up in Gatlingburg and Pigeon Forge yesterday. My legs, calves, quads, even mu butt hurts for some strange reason - maybe all the stairs.... I guess I slept wrong too because I woke up with a sore neck and my left arm felt like it was throbbing. I got to work and didn't feel very good for most of the day. I even got dizzy and felt almost like passing out a few times. Julie's last day at work was today and Callie ordered pizza from Cici's for everybody along with an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. I was starving so I ate 6 pieces of Hawaiian and then followed it up with the cake. That didn't settle well with my stomach and I had to run to the bathroom like 4 times and even ended up throwing up a little of my food. I'm dead tired but I'm working on my website some more. There's just too much to do and not enough time. I think I'll go get some food to sustain me for a little while longer while I continue killing myself. -sigh- Current Mood: sore (2 Comments |Comment on this)
8:37 am	Mini-trip The drive up to Gatlingburg/Pigeon Forge wasn't so bad. Jordan came by around 8am and I finished getting my stuff together before we left for the dorms to pick up one of his friends, Shawn, who was hitching a ride up there with us. Loki came along too, of course. The cabin was pretty nice and had three different floors with a balcony on each one; the second had the hot tub. I didn't go in it though, didn't really feel like it. We walked around Gatlingburg for a while and ate at 'The Brass Lantern' which ended up being pretty good. Then we walked around some more and I bought a caramel apple to satisfy my craving. Picked up Loki from the cabin and headed into Pigeon Forge for just a little bit to the outlets to try and get some jeans that fit and weren't 'holy,' but that didn't work out. I can never find clothes that fit. -sigh- Got back home around 8:30pm and worked on my business website a little. That's taken some turns, which I'll explain later. Surprisingly, there was a giant machine tearing up the bottom of our yard near the street. There's something wrong with the city's connection to the sewer line in our house and it's jammed up (x.x) so they made a 6 ft deep trench and still couldn't find the stupid connection last night. So now it's morning and they've come back to finish the job. Ah, nothing like machinery tearing up your stuff in the morning. -glare- Anyway, just got out of the shower and I'm gonna go and get ready for work. I'll have to end up trying to do my history over the weekend. I wish I didn't have to work. Toodledoo. Current Mood: tired (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:59 pm	I woke up and set off to work at 10am this morning. Took just a little longer lunch to come home and let Loki out long enough to go to the bathroom and give him a snack while I ate some chicken fetuccini alfredo. Went back to work until 7pm and came home to wash my hair and try to dry it before Andrew came over for al ittle while. He brought pizza for dinner and we just hung around. He's heading back to California tomorrow and he'll be leaving for a navy deployment not too long after that. I actually thought a lot about Sam today. I kept hoping to catch her online so I could reassure myself that she was going to speak to me again. I felt so bad last night.. sure, I got a little hurt - somewhat offended by the comment, but I didn't want her to disappear. I like having her around to talk to, and I hope she lets me sooner than later. Tomorrow's my only day off from work during this week. Jordan's planning on driving 2 1/2 hours to come and get me and take me up to Gatlingburg for the day, then drive me back home and drive back up by himself. Ten people split up the money and got a cabin up there. I'm kinda wanting to play a little laser tag... I should work on my internet business, I missed my phone meeting today - my work schedule got extended and I wasn't at home when Dana called me. -sighs- I wish I wasn't so tired all the time. I need to get my butt in gear though, or I'll just be wasting my money for nothing. I can't wait to make some decent money so I can move out into my own little apartment, maybe with a roommate -not sure on that yet. I can't wait to go to an anime convention either. Anyway, I'm off to do a little of -something- before going to bed... Current Mood: exanimate (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:04 pm	The Hairstyle Spent $75 getting my hair fixed today. The lady did the whole chemical straightening thing and then I got it cut. Didn't do anything too drastic though, just some long layers - the shortest one took about 7 inches off. It's around my shoulders now, maybe just a little longer, with the shortest layer up around my nose when dry - kinda like really long bangs. It makes me look older, more my age. Still can't believe that I'll be turning 20 in August... -shudders- How weird.... Anyway, that's all good and dandy. The school had some career fair thing going on today, so I got to talk extra while I lugged my guitar around. -sighs- Oh well, can't do much about that. Gotta remember to work on my history stuff too - we divided up all the work between six people and we're all bringing our stuff together right after spring break (this coming up week). Back to the hair thing... Nancy went with! It was funny. She got all her hair chopped off and then kinda spiked it all up in different directions. Looks cool on her though. -grins- After the hair thing I met up with Peng and Donna at McDonald's and we all ate and chatted for a while. They came over and saw Loki and freaked out at how cute/big he'd gotten. Then I headed over to Sarah's house and hung out with her, James, Tammy, Mary, and Jessica. Andrew's back in town and won't stop calling me. x.x I think the boy's still obsessed with me. -rolls his eyes- But what can you do? He wants to hang out but I don't know when a good time will be. I'll make sure that I make some time though, I've gotta. I'm his best friend! I was supposed to call Duo today too! -grumbles- I was all pressed for time in between my classes and didn't get a chance to. Please forgive me ange! -yawns lazily- Alright...I think I'm heading off now... I've gotta crash and get some rest so I can get up in the morning for some stupid appointment at 9:15am. Ah! Another random fact... Jess is moving in with Sarah and Mary and them... @.@ Why do I feel like I'm getting left behind...?? Current Mood: sleepy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:59 pm	Hair and the norm Work wasn't so bad today. Not like yesterday. God...yesterday was HELL at work. It was the end of them month which is always busy, then it landed on a Monday, and to top it all off we only had four people working at the branch. -clenches his jaw- I never get in bad moods and I was about to start cussing people out. Moving on, I want to change my hair. I'm tired of the curl. It's too much to deal with. The top of my head looks too big because of it and it looks out of proportion with the bottom part of my hair. SO, I'm thinking about getting it straightened again. I want it to be done right and see how long it'll last. If it goes well then I might chop off a few inches too. Depends. I've always wanted straight hair that I could keep short - really short. Sorta like Heero's actually. I'm sure if I did that though, that I'd get a bunch of people on my case about how 'your hair was so beautiful! It was so long! Why'd you cut it!?' with an add in of 'it'd be/it's like kissing a guy' from Jordan and all sorts of comments of the like. Maybe I can ease into it..well, sorta. My hair's halfway or a little more down my back right now...perhaps if I chop it up to my shoulders or around my chin... -grins- Then we can go from there. Though I have to keep it 'professional' looking since I work at the bank. -shrugs- I'm pretty sure I can make it work, regardless of the style. Just got back from Books A Million and from Wendy's. Got a junior bacon cheeseburger and then followed that up with thin mint cookies from some girl scouts that visited the bank the other day. Yum. I finished the Eldest book yesterday and I can't wait for the last one to come out, though I know I'm going to be waiting for a while. -sighs- However! I DID find out that there's a movie in the works for the first book, Eragon. -grins- That should be interesting. Anyway, I'm off for now. Buenas noches mis amores!
