Journal Blog #1: Crazy, Crazy Me

For a week now I've been laying in bed from 8pm to 10pm or so through 2am, just rolling around trying to get some shut eye. Then every morning I try to wake myself up at 6am. I can't do it. Tomorrow should help me out with that, however.
Yesterday and today are pretty much blending together. Yesterday I was incredibly successful in my weight loss. I have now lost a total of 20 lbs! I woke up and did an amazing job with my calorie intake and with getting all of my nutrients. Then at 2pm I had to have Britney Lane (my best friend), pick me up to drive me to Ox Yoke to work from 2pm to close (9:30ish). I have told them multiple times before that I don't have a ride during the week, but they haven't been listening. It doesn't matter anymore, though, because after this month I wont be working there except on Sundays.
So I made about 50 bucks, and I blew it all. I went to McDonald's and got a McChicken and a large Hazelnut Iced Coffee, because I knew I'd be well under my calories after walking around so fast and so much during work (waitressing is a great way to lose weight). Then I lifted weights for 10 minutes. After doing some random online stuff, Mom and I went to Wal-Mart (at 11:30pm) so that we could buy the seventh Harry Potter book (at 12:01am). I bought some underwear, a notebook, tampons, and some doggy treats and made it back to the line my mom was waiting in just in time for it to start moving. A lady behind me, really pretty blonde lady, had me go pick up a pack of batteries....that's one of those "golden moments" they talk about in all of those McDonald's Interactive Videos...you'd have to work there to understand.
Anyway, so now at 9am we're going grocery shopping and then to look for a car for me. I hope we find one, because I need it to get to school and I need to start practicing A.S.A.P. Then from 5 - 9pm I work at McDoogles.
Now I'm really tired, so I think it may be a good idea to get offline.

Guten Nacht, mein lieber Freund!

It's My Life

I'm sure, at some later date, I will choose to go into much greater detail about some many parts and pieces of my life, but this will only be a vague overview in order to introduce you to me. To quote a George Bush impersonator, "I'd like to begin at the beginning."
I was born in Iowa City on January 15, 1989. I lived in an apartment there until I was four. I have many crazy childhood memories, but those we will save for a later date. I moved to Williamsburg, Iowa and began school with Kindergarten (as oppose to preschool for lack of funds). When I was younger I was quite the goof and an extraordinary trouble-maker. As I grew up the only rules I didn't follow was completion of homework and lack of studying. Now I find myself to be very responsible.
In highschool, I kept myself very busy. I was in Band (Marching, Concert and Pep) and Choir (Treble and Concert). I was a cheerleader as well as in speech and drama club, performing in many musicals. I had three solos in choir. In 8th grade, I was also fortunate enough to recieve the lead role of Orphan Annie in our junior high production of Annie Jr. (adapted for junior high). My senior year I was also part of our schools most productive and successful yearbook team. We sold to over half of the student body and had record advertisement sells/donations. We received media attention for this and put on a performance for the school for raising the money for us, including a male teacher in a dress and a female teacher who ate bugs as part of her audition for a reality show.
I graduated in May of 2007. I will be attending Kirkwood Community College for 2 years and then plan to transfer somewhere else, likely the University of Iowa. I plan to major in music. I play the flute and sing soprano, but I'd like to teach choir, highschool or college level, or become a famous vocalist.
My first job was at Subway in the Tanger Outlet Center. I worked there from June 2005 to July 2006. I started working at Ox Yolk Interstate (a German family style restaurant) in December of 2006, and still work there to this day. I started working at McDonald's only this month. Today was my second day on the job.
There were, in my first 18 years, some memorable happenings. The first being the memory of Anthony Cameron Moore. I started dating him in my freshman year. We were very close, and only with the interference of his mother did we split up for good. The next year, Andy died. It was very tragic, but just when I thought life couldn't get worse, it did.
In August of 2006 I started seeing a man by the name of Craig Hall. The first night I went to his house was only to drink some alcohol that he'd bought me (since he was 25, and able to buy it - I was 17). When I was drunk, he took advantage of me, and took my virginity. I wanted to stay with him because I had a strong attraction to him and believed that I should stay with him since he took my virginity. He refused to date me and I left his house crying every night because he either touched another girl or played his computer gain rather than hanging out with me. Eventually an evil woman came along (Lisa Stoneking) and acted like a mentally ill person doing many things that would make most people get a restraining order against her. She won him from me. He broke my heart and took what he should never have had a chance at. That is far worse than a death, where you know your loved one is safe in heaven, don't you think?
That is the worst of my life so far, but I will be sure to update you on good and bad happenings.
