i moved to west york on tuesday. i'm living with my friend keri and it is a good time. i finally got internet and cable. very exciting. and we have a fireplace!
i feel like a grown up. well, on my way to being one.
and things are going so well right now.
i can pretty much do whatever i want now.. things are going so well with brent. we are in love. my job is great. i am getting more and more clients. the girls at applebee's have been spreading the word and more people are coming in to see me. very cool. this means i'll be making more money in the near future.
i can't wait for the summer when i can swim everyday.
and i can't wait to be 21 because i feel like i'll have more friends.

i haven't updated for a while...
my job at the salon is going excellent. i absolutely love it. my boss is really cool and understanding. we're like a little family.
i love my new car, it is getting me where i need to go and all... it's just a lot of money.
speaking of money, i owe almost $500 in taxes this year. don't ask me how. so that's going to set me back a little.
i am saving money to go to europe next summer. and i am also saving up to buy a video camera and a new laptop and to move out.
i hope i win the lottery or one of my family members so i can just open my own salon and pay off my car. that would be sweet.
my hair is now brown and i love my boyfriend.

i love my job at amy's. i've already had 6 clients (haircuts)! i am having a lot of fun and amy seems like she will be a really fun/great boss. she is really understanding and down to earth. and she's really fair. this will be a good time.
she understands that being a stylist is a job/career... it isn't our entire lives. we have things going on that take top priority over working. and it's nice to know that she cares about her employees.
tomorrow i am buying a car. i've thought about this long and hard. i am going to get a nissan versa. they are cute and little and roomy. plus it's a hatchback so what could be wrong with that?
i must admit, i feel a little grown up right now. it's all so exciting.

so the audition is over. in short, i have excellent hair cutting skills. i have some "real potential".
i have basic skills at this point and the lady told me that i need to work in a salon and prepare myself for this career with indulge. she wants me to keep in touch with her and re-apply in 6 months. she put it in her calendar and everything. but really, i don't think i can work for someone like her. she basically wants her workers to be sales people. they have to sell a certain amount every week in order to keep their jobs. and she is really intense and you can tell that she is judging your every move... from the minute i walked in there she was judging me. i'd rather make hardly any money and be able to be myself at work than to make good money but have to be something i'm not at work.
ridiculous.
and i'm right back where i started. i'm beginning my job at amy's tomorrow. i think i will really enjoy working there. she is really fun and i know i'll be able to be myself and still learn a lot from her. who knows, maybe i'll love working there and end up staying there for a few years. i guess only time will tell.

so i need to get this off my chest.
i am really anxious/nervous to start my new job. i begin working at amy's on monday and i am just excited/anxious to start my new career.
i also stumbled upon another job opportunity (which is a lot better). i go for an "audition" on sunday (the day before i begin working at amy's). i am really excited/nervous/scared to death to do this. it's like i'm being challenged soooo much. pretty much everything is riding on this audition. apparently indulge is looking for a few stylists. if i get a job there i will be making awesome money, learning so much more than i could have imagined, have benefits + a retirement plan, and i'll have so many opportunities for my future. if i get hired there i can work pretty much anywhere i want to after that... if i wanted to go anywhere else. indulge is a high end salon that continues education while you are working there. it is really exciting because they focus on color and everything just seems so wonderful and challenging and everything i want in a job.
so, please pray for me. if you don't believe in prayer, just think of me and wish me luck. i am so nervous for this audition and it could really change the rest of my life. i could be starting an amazing intense awesome career. this is what i've been wanting for a while and if i can do this i'll be set. so please keep me in your thoughts and wish me well. i may not deserve something like this but i really want it. and i don't ask for much.

about a week ago my entire life turned to shit. everything was going wrong, job opportunities vanished, my current job was screwing me over, someone stole my credit card # & money from me, my friends weren't around, my parents were fighting with me, and people in my life were using me. i guess i'm the type of person that when one thing goes wrong, everything goes wrong. this all happened within 2 or 3 days of each other. and when everything goes wrong, i can't help but feel sorry for myself. and then i hate who i am because i hate feeling sorry for myself. i hate when people do that. i want to be the type of person that does something about my life. if i don't like my life, i need to do something to make my life better. so after feeling bad about life, i decided to take life into my own hands. when the universe is not on your side, you need to do something to become friends again. so i started loving life again. i tried to look at the positive. i took care of business and confronted all of the problems going on in my life .... (minus a few small ones...)anyway, the good news is, i've proved that i can actively change my life for the better. i made some calls and now i'll be starting a new job on the 29th at a salon. i talked to my managers at my current job and basically got the schedule that i wanted. i got a new credit card and got all of the money back that these people stole from me. if my friends aren't around, i just call. just because someone's not next to you doesn't mean you don't have friends. there are two people in a friendship and i can do my part to call too. my parents aren't mad at me anymore. and i confronted the person i thought was using me.
in short, i took control of my life and now i am where i need to be. i am really excited to start my new job and pretty much start a new life. i am saving up to buy a new car and hopefully move out by june.
and i want a puppy.

this is a conversation i overheard at work tonight between two servers. no lie. this actually happened. and it all took place in front of a male server.
server #1: i hate when you can see your underwear lines. ugggh. i mean, i usually wear thongs but today i didn't and i just hate it.
server #2: yeah i know exactly what you mean. i can't wear anything but thongs because it's just so annoying, especially if you wear tighter pants.
server #1: i know. see (sticks butt out and traces her finger over her underwear lines). i really hate this. it sucks.
and the whole time, the guy just stands there staring at her ass... which is of course what she wanted because she obviously just wanted some attention. but seriously, i never know girls that were like this. so weird. i hate it.
in other news... i have been really happy with my boyfriend lately. he's in california right now on tour but our conversations have been getting better and better and i know it will be heaven when he comes home. i miss him so much and i feel like this month is making us stronger. i hope so anyway. and i realized yesterday how much i trust him. it is really scary to have so much faith in someone. i'm betting all my chips. he hasn't steered me wrong yet.
september 21st will be my last day of school. i cannot wait. and 4 months from now i will be in philly working my butt off and hopefully learning a lot... about myself and my future. best times of my life are ahead of me.
and did i mention i'm done serving? i have become the carside queen. 5 shifts a week + 1 day a week at party city + 5 days of school = no time for me to live, but enough money to move in november.
one day at a time.

so brent left this morning. i hate saying goodbye to him. he'll be gone for a month and i will really miss him. i was getting used to seeing him every day. now i'm not comfortable.
my eye has been twitching for the last 4 days. i'm not even lying. it will twitch about every 2 hours for about 2-4 minutes. it is making me crazy.
on monday i am going to this place in lancaster where they are shooting a featured film called "Home". i will be doing hair and make-up for the Extras along with 2 other people from my school. it will be a 12 hour day but it will look really good for my portfolio and i get 12 extra hours for school. it seems like a win-win situation.

and in some weird way, i feel like i can never be friends with her. i can never be really close with her. i can't trust her.
from her actions, i feel like it is going to be hard for me to even make friends with people. because you can't really trust anyone. and that makes me really sad to even have to think that. i'd like to think that there is some sort of good in everyone. but she gives best friends everywhere a bad name. it's quite depressing.
a lot of things are depressing.

so these last couple days have been pretty fun. i hung out with peggy a decent amount. and i got to see lauren quite a bit. i finally got to see missie today.
in about 2 days i will be going to virginia with lindsey and chanyn and i will finally see brent on friday. i am pretty excited.
sometimes tv shows or movies make me feel this incredible amount of emotion that i can't actually feel in my own life. and it makes me sad that i can't ever be that happy with myself/my life or fall so hard i know just where to pick myself up. i think that's why i enjoy tv so much.

new york was amazing. i went on sunday and came home on tuesday. i went to the IBS hairshow and saw a bunch of different companies. i also got to see a lot of different techniques that i will be able to use sometime. me and 6 other girls stayed at the largest hotel in times square. it was so much fun and i definitely want to go again.
i have decided that i will work in a salon for a while, but when i get married and start a family, i want to have my own salon either in my house where i can work when i want to or close by where i can own it just not really ever be there.
i went to school yesterday and i am now a junior III. it's kind of weird because all of the girls that i went to new york with are now seniors so i do not get to be in their class. it sucks. it's alright though because shay (my bff at school ha ha) is still in my class.
i woke up this morning and kept hitting my snooze button. for some reason i couldn't actually figure out what time it was or when to leave for school or anything. so i did nothing. i went back to sleep and woke up at 11:30. i got about 12 hours of sleep. pretty cool. needless to say, i didn't go to school.
let me break it down for you...
-2 days until i go to delaware to visit lauren
-11 days until jess's birthday/teddy geiger show (ha ha ha)
-15 days until virginia (where i will see my boyfriend for the first time in almost 2 months!!!!!!!)
-16 days until brent is home!!!!!
this means i have 2 weeks to lose 10 pounds. is it possible? we will see.
