  i love it how bumper stickers will make me think of random memories and inside jokes...

"and the pickles" - kyra, acc trip, getting a jar of pickles and baked beans lol
"shotgun!" (rosa parks) - how i always claim it lol
"blah, blah, blah" - my voice mail to danny ages ago, LOL

man i hate that feeling where i KNOW i wanted to remember something, but now i can't. it's driving me crazy!

anyways, so today...work from 10-4. i was in a really good, thinking about boovy's DD from last night, my plans for tomorrow, this weekend, mike coming back soon and then marg not too much longer after that. hayley was like, yeah you told me already. lol. i saw so many random ppl today! mary, the cs clarinet woman; mallory; kyle van zyle (lol, summer = girl he is so into you, etc etc. me = um i dont think so, he's just a friendly cool guy and its easy for us to talk about running); jackie v, who'd been me/joe/jamie's waitress @ chili's..i can't remember the other ppls. darn. after work..went to dad's. talked with nate for a little, caught up on the news. went home, watched some tv with dad, had some honey nut cheerios.

lol so i'm a total dork and couldn't figure out how to get to the hawc from the library, so i spent at least 15 minutes going down one-way roads and backtracking until i finally saw the pool and went ok, now i know where to go...but whatdya know, the hawc was already closed! the gym looked busy, so i just went ahead and ran at the track like usual. 5M tonight - my 1st mile was a really good pace, but then i took the others down a notch....i hate shin splints. cuz that's def what i have on the inside of my calfs. umm...drove home, squared away with mom about the plans for tomorrow.

dad and i watched a big of the afi lifetime award presentation to warren beautty. had a can of lite sliced peaches, fed the cat.

aww it just started raining! it sounds absolutely lovely =]

quotes of the day:
"even at night i like it hot" - about coffee, to katie, from last week
"so many babies!" - me about the 4 different women/couples who came in with their infants...which made me think of 400 babies! lol!

ok i'm uber tired. night!

tomorrow = brunch @ ihop @ 10, beach/shopping in p'cola with jamie, back to navarre to shower, subway for dinner (haha i wrote sinner), then we're gonna go see the sex & the city movie apparently. so much to do!!! eep!

  today....slept in. worked 10-4. amere & derek came in, it was good seeing them randomly. sugarland "all i wanna do-o-o-o-ooo" lol. 'haley, could you be super awesome and get me some ice?' "sigh...ok, but only bc i'm super awesome...' after work...went to dad's work. lol james' "magic trick" of only walking out the front door. 'uhh...i drive the mowers around....' i didn't realize dad wasn't there, kat thought i was waiting to get his keys lol. anyways, i dropped off marg and d's letters at the p.o., raced home, picked up ty cards and a bday card from the bx, then went to the eglin track, only ran 3M since i had to leave early (boo). raced home, kat called and so i had a slight change of plans. she got a raise so we went out for a her celebratory raise dinner @ longhorns and then i went to dawn's. we had a cool waitress. lol we have the same phone and she asked me how to get music to go on the cell, i had to explain that like, it has to be off, use the usb cord, and open it as a f folder and just copy the music over from itunes. yay google.

it's pretty amazing how much closer kat and i have become over the past 2 years, since marg and i graduated, esp in comparison to a few years ago.

anyways. after dinner, went to dawn's. saw ray for a bit, before he left to go out with his 2 friends. his plane leaves in the morning. dawn and jamie were like, uhh yeah you could say he still likes you...he only talked about you with jamie for a few hours yesterday. apparently i'm like, his childhood crush that he'll never get over.

sigh.

i really don't like it. i mean, there's nothing i can do, he's free to like whoever he wants to, but i just wish he could find some other nice good girl to focus on instead of thinking about me. talked about my creepy coworker. had a smirnoff. then...went home. listened to mom lecture me about partying, etc for a bit. texted boovy who then called me, hilariously drunk, and we're talking atm. LOL i love it how he says stand by instead of hold on. idk why, but i didn't expect his voice to sound the way it does.

anyways, tomorrow....i need to call g'pa and aunt di about brunch wednesday....run. ta ta.

  damn...well at least now i know why everyone's like, my prayers are with jocelyn.

i asked lauryn, one of the mccreadie twins, what's wrong with her...apparently she went out on 4th of july and drank too much, decided to drink and drive, and crashed into something. they found her at 3am the next morning and she wasn't expected to live. she's doing better now and is still in ICU but is suppose to be taken out of that tomorrow probably....now she gets to deal with the DUI, insurance up $200-300 per month, and who knows about law school.

so thats what lauryn said.
i almost feel bad, that my first thought wasn't even about jocelyn's health or safety - honestly, i was just thinking thank god she didn't hurt anyone else. well, it'll all work out eventually. hopefully this will prove to be a hard lesson learned for her (she does drink quite a bit) and other kids.

****

LOL i TOTALLY forgot!!
joe: *quietly telling me story as we walk thru the mall about his parents talking for the first time thru web cam...*
me: OMG JOE you looked at your girlfriends moms boobs?!??

poor joe. i really didn't mean to embarrass him, again. it's a good thing we're friends lol.

  so today...went fishing. kat got sick, so she and liz left early. went home, napped. Boo thunderstorms! so instead of going to the beach w. CB and britt, i met up w. joe at the food court instead. LOL i'm NEVER touching anything inside radio shack ever again! first the phone voice button thing was a lot louder than i expected...then i accidently pulled the radio off of the cord that attached it to the shelf, but then omg i set off all the alarms by simply rotating the powershot camera. the guy was like, eh that one's just extra sensitive, since i obviously wasn't stealing it...but still. eep! i'm sure i embarrassed the heck out of joe lol. but hey, at least i got to play some gh at the game store :) then...went to the pet store, i can't wait to get my own one day. speaking of which, i LOVE april's new maltese puppy, azar! sean flynn might come with me to tally this weekend. um...went home, cleaned up marg's room some, watched some comedy central. yay for kyra, she got a $1k scholarship! AND the cable/net bundle is actaully only $66/mo in tally! woot woot!

haha mike loooooooooved "latesha ruined casual friday for everyone" bumper sticker....not quite. but found it funny, nevertheless. i thought it was great.

anyways, the new army wives episode is finally on so i gtg. ta ta!

music: say it ain't so - weezer
so today...i slept pretty poorly, i think i'm finally gonna have to reclaim my old room/bed, once i move all of marg's stuff to the side. work was the usual, 10:30-3. i told val that i'm going to tally this weekend, does she want me to pick up any fsu stuff for her? she got pretty excited about it, i'll have to stop by friday before i go to get her list and cash. i know she wants at least a car license plate and key chain lol. some more of the berry kids came in. i wish i knew all their names lol, but all i know are bill, gerald (the black dude), and lauren, who was with him. um...liz and sean flynn stopped in for lunch. an older middle-aged lady told me that i have beautiful eyes =] that made me feel better.

lacey/lovie knight's mom came in, she updated me on lovie. i didn't know it, but she's married to a navy EOD guy and her 2nd baby is due pretty soon. i'm so jealous that she's in italy! i'd love to go there one day. anyways, even tho i was never really that close with her, we talked in homeroom sometimes, i was really happy hearing that everything was going well for her, she was always really nice.

i just got my first postcard from marg....and she got switched into juliet flight! ahhhh! the entire time i've been sending her letters to quebec flight! well at least now i know. she's doing good. she likes her flight and roommates. derrick is in her sister flight, so she seems him everyday for a quick sec when they're walking in the hallway. their entire day is busy busy busy, but at least they get 2 showers a day and naptime sometimes lol. since she has a cool cta and fto, she doesn't get yelled at much. i'm not sure what she means when she said "my ft hurt btw" - ??.

anyways...i'm gonna go for a run in about an hour or 2. i kind of slacked off the last time, so i need to make sure and i get all 5M in tonight.

apparently kat and liz are going fishing with me and dad in the morning. i'm not gonna lie, i was a little surprised when liz mentioned it and then mom later today. i kind of liked it being just us, but i'm not complaining or anything.

and then there's always the beach tomorrow @ noon @ beasley. ooo i need to call back CB.
ta ta.

music: call me irresponsible - michael buble
wednesday:
slept in. went to the dentist, picked up mom from work. ran 2M, but then it started to sprinkle so i went home early, plus my shins were bothering me. stayed up late talking with boovy.

today:
work from 10-4. lol "laura are you wearing a new bra? bc your boobs are like...wow today." i got to work the counter, which was a nice change. omg brenda "laura, can you help her? i dont know how which way racetrack is." 'um...you take a right out of the parking lot and it intersects with beal...' - LOL some guy turned in an application and matt was like, hmm, why should i NOT hire him...'have you ever been convicted of a felony? Y/N' the guy's answer? "no - not yet" - a lady in drive thru was like 'k love ya, thanks!' when i told her to have a nice day. it made me smile, how she was in mommy mode (her kids were in the van) and just automatically said it. someone else asked me where i was from, i guess i have a slight accent? a hot young cop came thru the drive thru. he was prolly the highlight of my day.

after work...wrote marg another letter at dad's work. dropped him off @ the bowling alley, then went home, changed, went and ran 3m @ the eglin track, then raced home, showered uber fast, and went to starbucks.

i had SUCH a good time tonight, i always do with our gang. it was me, joe, chris, candace, christina, brittany, michelle, amanda, and megan. we talked a lot, it'd be super awesome if we could do nye in charleston w. britt, altho with my luck i'll be at a bowl game and have to miss out, *again* boo. "the name of the game is 'ummm' brella" -yeah so much for my logic. lol. i don't even remember what all we talked about, just that i had a great time hanging out with everyone. i'm glad we've been getting together more often this summer, it really helps. after everyone left chris and i stayed til like, 1 am talking about soo many things. we don't really talk all that much while at work, so it was good to catch up. i really do love all of my high school friends - they're gonna be the ones invited to my future wedding and get xmas cards until we're all old and gray. some of my college friends will as well, like k&k, jamie, tim, danny, etc. but seriously like, idk what i would've done with them all during the ib years. they made it worth it. like chris said tonight, "an oasis in the desert" of intelligence lol.

so tomorrow...work 10:30-2:30, then i think dad wants to have a fam bbq. idk, we'll see. if nothing else we can always go check out the fireworks. anyways, it's almost 2 and i'm uber tired. ta ta.

  today was a pretty good tuesday.

work was basically the usual. jamie: "laura, what's your fav place to go shop?" 'hm i haven't gone shopping in ages...i'd have to say american eagle tho.' "yeah, i thought you looked like an ae type of girl." '...thank you?' yay for joe stopping by in for breakfast =] yet again, the whole press to-go-thing w. meg. i told her, again, that i'm not going to interrupt the customer if they immediately start telling me what they want to order. whatevs. OMG! sean martin came in! god, the last time i saw him was early high school and he was listening to rap and smoking mj...now he lives up in defuniak springs and has a country/southern accent! how so incredibly random!

um...after work, wrote marg another letter, i'll have to send it in the morning tho. went home, had a bagel, changed, kat came over, and then we went out to kt's. we carpooled w. her and zach out to the commons, had a good time out there just hanging out. seattle drip has some pretty good coffee. yay for jamie's rave movie coupons lol! we went to bass pro shops, where i saw courtney and katie, which was cool. wall-e was absolutely ADORABLE, marg is gonna love it when she finally sees it when she gets back. we watched spill.com back at kt's house, which has some funny movie reviews.

anyways, its now almost midnight and i'm uber tired.
boo seeing the dentist tomorrow =(

mood: content
music: weezer
so today....work was the usual, 10-4. aw, what a terrible way to start the week...i didn't know they'd pulled the 10 cfa biscuits, so thats what i made and gave to the 2 guys who'd really just ordered a #4. they got a great deal lol. oh well, it was an honest mistake, it happens.

summer gave her number out to a cute airman ;) she was like, please don't tell the others, they'd give me crap about it. i'm the last person there who would judge her for it -i mean, that's how zach got my # last summer and it's not like we're a dating service giving our #s out everyday. i understood what she was getting at, so of course i'm not going to bring it up. lord knows we have enough gossip at cfa.

i talked w. val while i was on break eating my caesar wrap, she said that apparently megan doesn't like me bc she thinks i'm snooty. lol its practically become a game to me now, how (frustratingly and annoyingly) polite and happy can i be around and to her, just to make it that much harder for her.

LOL this is so nerdy but like, the little psych major in me is like, how much cognitive dissonance can i put her thru before she changes her opinion of me. not that i really want to be her friend, not after seeing this side of her, but it gives me something to pass the time at work. i really don't like it when people don't like me, esp for such a stupid reason. when i told dad about it, he was like, are you serious? bc honestly, i would never try to be snooty and stuck up. i might think it sometimes about some people, esp when i'm PMSy and venting, but quite honestly, i really do try to look for the best in people. appearances aren't everything and who am i to judge another?

anyways, i had a really good talk with solomon, he's a senior at choctaw and is thinking about going to fsu. i was really excited about it, and of course was like, a walking advertisement for the university lol. "i love it there so i kind of assume everyone does/will too..." "i honestly think everyone can go to college, i really value education" 'well that makes sense, you want to become a teacher.' "oh. yeah." lol.

holy crap, did it rain a lot today! it was a little depressing. katie came in, we decided that we're gonna go see wall-e tomorrow night (using my rave coupons lol), at like, 7. well, her, me and zack. i'm glad, we haven't hung out in awhile and i need to stay busy so i don't miss marg too much. i totally understand what jess was going thru while thomas was gone, altho its a little diff since she's my twin and he's her bf.

mikey's wife had her baby a few days ago and they brought little elijah in this morning! boy, does he have a crop of hair! he's such a precious and adorable baby, they're such a cute happy family =) i like mikey, i'm sure he's an absolutely great dad, he has such a good attitude on life. lindsay came in today, she has a new baby boy as well. shaney's no longer living with them, she's moved into her bf's dorm. as in, the single airmen's dorm on base - which technically women aren't even supposed to enter, much less live. it's illegal, actually. and then she mentioned something about shane showing up a few weeks ago at her place, practically suicidal and how like, he couldn't live without shaney....??? idk. i'm totally out of the loop concerning her.

after work...went to dad's. kat drank all of my coke in like, 2 seconds lol. wrote another letter to marg, printed out some more bumper stickers/LOLcats (the porcupine and turtle w. brush on its back, about <3; the witicism about monday and knowing she's just as miserable; and then from the lolcats fb group, "i has a mount" w. a cute baby ducky & kitty and then "invisible rollercoaster"), and put it in the card. i sent her the card i got at the bx yesterday, where it shows a gal hugging a tree, cat, pillow, toilet, etc, and then inside it says there's no substitute for you, miss you, type of thing.

LOL she's gonna be so mad, the envelope is pink! dad called it lavender, but i think there's not enough purple hue in it to be considered any shade of purple/lavender. how terrible of me, i want her to get some crap over getting a pink letter lol....in a good way, of course. haha i'm gonna laugh if like, her commander thinks its for a dude from his gf, when really its to a girl from her twin. i don't want her to actually get in trouble but oh well, it's already in the mail.

what else...i was just starting to read the guardian when grandpa called, he needed to pick up some CD, but could i do him a favor and meet him in the middle at the mall? i had nothing else to do and figured i'd just go running afterwards, so that's what happened. drove out there, then went to the oak hill track. did 5M, in 1M increments again. in the time that i took to do all that and stretch (a lot), a middle aged dude, a really hot young blonde guy, a black guy, a kinda chubby guy, and another older guy all did their like, 2/3M jogs and left. i have to say, the blonde guy gave me some extra motivation to run that 3rd mile a little faster and control my breathing more so i didn't sound crazy out of breath LOL. he really was quite hot, too bad i was focused on running and i didn't think to chat with him.

then...went home, had an apple & pb and watched this history channel program about how various societies deal with uh human waste. lol. it was actually quite informative, esp the part about calcutta and london. as for now...talked w. joe some. i wrote our marg and d's addy on the envelopes, i'm gonna write them tonight so it can go out in the morning before work. i'm having a really good talk with danny =] he really is one of my absolute bf's at fsu. i'm glad that he was my attendance block and calf stretch buddy, even if it was just by chance/coincidence/fate/luck.

it's really kinda funny, how absolutely random life is, and how like, so many things just seem to happen.

which reminds me...i asked ryan how he was doing when he came into work at 3, like i always do, and he was like, "i'm pretty good. i mean, i'm alive, so that's enough to make me happy." it was really just quite simple and to the point and i absolutely loved it.

so many people take it for granted, how precious life and our relationships are. we all do it, we can't help it. but every now and then i think it's good to just sit back and think about it - and just let it sink it. we can't predict the future, but we all know that we have an infinite amount of moments to live and love. so any moment you spend being unhappy or emo or upset is one that you just wasted NOT being happy, and you can't get it back.

anyways, enough random deep existential meaning of life type train of thought there lol.
back to talking with danny and then reading my book =]

  it's been a good evening =] had lunch at the chinese place with the folks, then spent 15 min trying to navigate the random one way roads on base to get to the library. i checked jodi picoult's "plain truth" and nicholas sparks' "the guardian," and got a miss-you card for marg from the bx. there's a nice little empty camp robbins out by the bx, off this random half paved-half dirt road, where i parked the car, rolled down the windows, and read. i got really tired tho, i almost fell asleep out there lol. i saw alan at the shally tropical smoothie....lol "it was good running into you!" '..and the chair...' yeah, that was a little embarrassing. he's a cool kid, i like him. went home, read some more, took a nap.

i then...went over to kat's and e's for like an hour to get out of the house and then met up with CB at panera's. it was already closed actually, so we went to sonic and shared our horrible date stories. i can't believe i hadn't told her about the jason-messages drama! her date with the guitar instructor was AWFUL...but oh, the text message was absolutely hilarious. and...tonight i've talked with joey and boovy, but i'm tired and need to get to sleep. ta ta!

fishing was fun this morning, with dad, john, and tyler =] i caught like, 20 fish, mostly hard tail and a few lady fish. my 1st pole kinda broke but dad fixed it, and then i thought the 2nd one stopped working as well... "laura, it works fine..." 'oh. i guess i was reeling it the wrong way...' wow, what a blonde moment. lol i put my pole down and went to the other side of the pier to watch all the bonitas (LOL! "big ass bonita!" i can't wait to tell her about it) and then a huge jack crevalle (sp?) got hooked, but john lost it, it tore off the line. there was a cute bama guy there. i think we should go more often, it was really quite nice. anyways, i gotta shower really fast then the folks and i are going to the little chinese place for lunch. ta ta!

  i've had such a fun evening =] yay for girls night out!

i met up with jessica and heather at the OG at like, 7:15. susan was our waitress, the flute girl who used to be dating ryan, the trombone section leader. apparently he's quite the jerk. it was nice, talking about guys and future weddings and chiefs. LOL she accidentily spilled some of the water down the middle of my shirt! like, it tipped over and just a little bit went onto me, most of it went on the table. but it was still funny. afterwards we went to the boardwalk, alas bill and his berry college friends weren't there since it was like, 8:30, so we walked along the beach. "take a picture of the dead fish and tag rachel!" me = ?? "...she said when she gets married she's going to lie there like a dead fish." 'what??!?' LOL, too funny.

we sat at a table near the swamp, so we could listen to the band and enjoy the breeze. and then some random guy, who looked like any other beach guy (a&f shirt, flip flops, clean shaven) came up and randomly/creepily/awkwardly talked with us (yet he told us he's homeless, WEIRD), warning us about some bob freeman guy who apparently just got out of prison and has been bothering ppl at the beach the past few weeks. he was totally hitting on me tho, ugh - jess was like yeah, it's just bc you have boobs is why he didn't even pay any attention to us.

after that...jessica's mom and thomas both called to warn her about the storm that was coming (we'd been watching the heat lightning for quite awhile anyways), so we went to waho to wait it out. omg the prius was rocking due to the wind! it was crazy! waho coffee sucks =p at least the OG coffee was really good! it got pretty cold, thanks to our jeans being wet from walking in the water.

anyways...now i'm home. feeling pretty awake, thanks to the double dose of coffee tonight lol. i have to get up at like, 6:30 tho =p but yay for going fishing! i'm sure we'll be done by like, 11...i'll meet up with CB at the beach in the early afternoon too, i'm excited! and then i can FINALLY go running! seirously, i've been slacking off. this week i need to be uber dedicated to make up for the last few days =p

oh and i just thought of another example for earlier about megan disliking me. i was talking with summer and fixing one of the clips in my hair, she and laurel were eating at that first booth, when she told summer to tell me to wash my hands, basically. i wash my hands a bunch anyways, but she was honestly just looking for an excuse to like, correct me, even tho i don't even touch any of the food - i touch the little computer screen and the outside of the drinks. and you know, i'd been messing with my hair all day and no one once mentioned it to me. *shakes head* how lame must your life be, to have to nit pick at someone else's. summer was like, 'yeah would u mind washing ur hands? i know you do a bunch anyways bc of the money, but technically after touching your hair you're supposed to wash your hands; i don't really care, you're not touching any food, but whatever.' at least summer's cool.

anyways, i shouldn't end the night on a bad note....yay for texting with joey and mike kos earlier =] joey was like, well if it makes you feel better i'm almost 20 i'll hit on you when we get back to tally, that way its at least someone your own age (he's secretly totally into me ;D). and then walking along the beach made me think of last summer, when mike & mike and i went out. its too bad he's out in texas, i'd love to see him again. but ooooh well....ta ta!

  bill - freeport - giffords - 9/3 -

today...work was the usual. the register kids are cool. matt is awesome. megan still hates me and probably always will. i should give up on trying to be extra nice and polite to her, since i don't think she'll ever change her opinion of me and thus the way she treats me. she's not even polite to me - i'll tell her my thanks when she brings the tray over and she says my pleasure to the customer, never me. but oh well. that's minor.

*lol* she HATES it that valarie and i are friends. i can't help it that val and i get along. she worked the fries today and i was talking to her from the other side, and megan was like "oh thats fine val, you can talk with your new bffl, i'll talk to hailey when she comes in." also, apparently they had carole scheduled for today on the back schedule but not the front one by accident (like what happened to me last weekend), and yet megan asked me if i wanted to go home or stay and work. i told her i'd rather stay and work and went back up front. so carole went home - seriously tho, they need to stop accidentily over scheduling people. oh and laurel gave me a second shirt? i guess everyone's supposed to have two.

oh and another example of how megan dislikes me - matt yesterday wore a dark shirt and i was like, aw matt i like your bright shirts! (matt = see laurel, someone else likes them!) so today i told him that i liked his shirt, since it was this nice bright red color, and i heard megan make the fake throw up noise behind me. i ignored it and didn't look at her, altho in hindsight it would have been so much more satisfying to turn to her and be like, oh if you're not feeling well why don't go home so carole can work?. but i didn't. i heard laurel laugh and tell her to stop, but in a good natured tone. laurel doesn't talk about anyone, but she listens, which to me enable the gossiping and is almost as bad. but oh well. at least she's nice. and she's the manager so i can't exactly tell her what to do.

near the end of my shift i was talking hailey and i told her that i was pretty sure some ppl at cfa don't like me. she asked me who, i was like ehh, i don't like naming names since i don't like to gossip and it's just an opinion, altho i'm positive megan doesn't like me, judging by the way she treats me. she said yeah, some of them talk about you a lot before you come into work, but its basically just sam and megan (why am i not surprised). she said that they called me a liar, about the jason thing, about me apparently saying that i had broken up with him? (me = um, how could we have broken up when we never went out? we saw ONE movie...?) she said it made her mad so she just walked away. i don't even know where they got that idea, since the only thing i've said to anyone there is that we went on *one* date to the movie and that was it, and then i told val that the one date was it. i didn't tell any of them about his text message saying it wasn't the best time to date, nor his facebook message about just wanting sex, my reply, or his i'm sorry replies back.

oh and they also think that i'm too friendly, especially with the guys that come in, and that apparently i'm just after all of them? honestly, i try to be friendly with everyone who comes in, no matter what their age, gender, or relationship status. of course i like it when a cute guy comes to my register, but i like it just as much when a mom comes in with her adorable kid who i can go "aww" over. so i happen to smile and life and make small talk - if nothing else, it's good customer service. lord knows i'd rather have a cashier happy doing her job than someone who's noticeably grumpy and not wanting to be there.

but you know what? i am above it all. not to be egotistical or conceited, but it's true. they have nothing better to do than gossip about other people. like sheila said, they just wish that they were in my shoes - having the cute young guys hit on me, attractive, and happy all the time. they're always going to find something to talk about bc that's the way they are - i can't help it that me/my life is interesting.

it's really not worth the trouble of raising cane over it. i might have a heart to heart with matt or laurel one day, in like, the beginning of august maybe.

anyways.

the freeport high school baseball team hit on me. LOL. some of them just happened to go thru my line and then they came back for shakes....it was all fine and dandy until one of them was like "the guys want to know how old you are" 'i'm 20.' (to which the coach/one of the guys dads said "and they're all really 12." LOL!) ...but you know what, i can't help it when guys do stuff like that.

anyways. enough of venting.

tonight!
i'm going to the OG with jessica and heather, and then afterwards we're gonna go to the boardwalk/pier - oh yeah! so the cute muscular guy from berry who knows kim is named bill! i finally asked him what it was, he was like, oh i'm so sorry, it's bill. btw yall should come tonight, we're having a fish fry/toss out at the boardwalk - so, if they're still there after we get done with dinner we'll hang out. atm i'm talking with mike - who omg didn't know i'm (Secretly) an outdoorsy person. and i asked allison if she wants to meet up tonight at the boardwalk too, but she doesnt know yet. who knows.

and the giffords came in today! i have to call john later and give him a time for tomorrow, about going fishing. it'll be good to catch up again =] now if only dad would stop watching his movie and give me a time lol.

anyways, i need to get ready to go out. ta ta!

  today's been such a weird day.

first off i slept in, which never happens. then mom and i took marg to the airport, slight irritation over last min pics. i miss marg already =( i really was quite sad, having to say good-bye so she could go thru security, i got a few ? looks bc i was def having to hold back crying as i walked past everyone waiting in line to the exit...i hate good-byes. i put my sunglasses on before i got into the car, so mom wouldn't notice. i don't like crying in front of ppl, even my own fam.

then...went w. mom to dad's work, she took his car to the shop and i had hers for the day. i printed out some bumper stickers and quotes to add to marg's letter, which i'll have to send out tomorrow. then i went to walmart, got some rotisserie chicken for dad, and arby's for kat. some country guys waiting at racetrack/eglin made kissing noises at me as i turned onto racetrack...weird. i picked up a smoothie for lunch, went home, napped. talked w. joe and boovy online. then...went outside and tanned for about an hour. i WAS going to go to the beach, but the scary dark clouds tricked me into thinking that it was going to storm, but it didn't. oh well. showered, then went to scully's w. dad for his nwfdn bloggers get together. it was good seeing kat, liz, and josh. we split a pizza, talked a bunch, i lamented the stupid 21 law. drove dad home, and now i'm off to bed. i'm uber tired...sigh. i really wanted to run tonight, but i got home too late =/ oh well

tomorrow...work 9-3. beach afterwards maybe?? idk.
ta ta.

  while work wasn't that interesting, just the usual 10-4 shift and chatting with hayley about her love life (my vote is for the football guy who goes to her school lol), tonight was quite the little adventure lol. i dropped dad off at bowling, went home, changed into my running clothes, and headed out to starbucks.

so i'm stopped at the mooney light when this pretty cute guy in a truck next to asks me if i want to race. i smiled back and said no, i was heading to starbucks so i didn't exactly have much time. we got stopped again at the next light, still side by side amazingly, and he was like, you sure? whoever wins can have this flower...i laughed and basically reiterated what i said earlier. it was pretty flattering tho, it's not everyday i get hit on, esp when driving. finally we pull up to the beal light, he's in the 2nd left turn lane, about the 7th car back. there was only 2 cars ahead of me but i saw that he was kind of looking out at me so i stopped next to him and we talked. there was only one car behind me, so i didn't care.

him: hey! i'm tyler, btw.
me: i'm laura, hey.
him: so what's at starbucks?
me: my sister's leaving for a month, so we're getting together with some friends.
him: oh cool...how old are you?
me: 20. you?
him: how old do you think i am?
me: idk, 21 or 22?
him: ...i'm 17.
me: oh...are you still in high school?
him: i go to niceville. you in college?
me: yeah, i went to choctaw but now i'm at fsu.
him: cool. so you know, uh, 20's my lucky number, so can i have yours? [it was actually a pretty smooth pick-up line]
me: *laughs* i don't date high schoolers.
him: i'm almost 18 =D
me: i think that's still statutory lol.
him: does that mean i don't get your number?
me: aw, i'm afraid so...[the light conveniently changed then, and we drove off our separate ways]

it's too bad he's still in high school, or else i would've def given him my #...i honestly thought he was older. he was cute. and sweet. and put in more effort in trying to get my # than any other guy has in the past year, basically. it was quite flattering and made my night =]

and then there's the 70-yr-old dudes after starbucks...i was talking with thomas and jess by my car when these 2 old guys stopped about 10 ft away and asked for directions to the nearest bruesters. i told them that its in destin, but jess suggested baskin robbins at uptown station, so i told them to take a L out of starbucks, L on yacht club, R on eglin, and it'd be up on the left. oh, a little background info: i was wearing pink soffees, blank under armor spandex, and a white univ of soccer summer camp 2003 tshirt, since i was planning on going running after starbucks....anyways!

old guy #1: do you go to a university?
me: i go to fsu
#2: do you play soccer?
me: uhh...i used to, i just play IMs now.
#1: oh....nice legs. *drives off*

W T F???! lol. thomas couldn't stop laughing, since i'd just been complaining about how no one hits on me (minus the 17-yr-old guy who just did earlier), and then BAM! creepy old guy alert!

anyways, starbucks was SO much fun tonight =] it was me, marg, d, thomas & jessica, brittany, ashley, joe, terri, andy, plus we also saw graham there (he works at starbucks, i had no idea!), and mark and kathy. it was really good catching up with everyone, but esp seeing andy again, since i don't really talk to him that much during the school year or on the computer vs everyone else basically. britt, ashley, and i talked a lot about weddings and guys and other typical girl subjects. we can't wait for marg and d to just get hitched lol. and who the heck is this zach kid who added ALL of us as friends? i sent him a message tonight basically being like, no offense but i'm having a hard time remembering ya, but i see that we share a lot of high school friends...did we have a class together at choctaw? if he doesn't reply back in a few days i'll just assume that its like, some made up profile/person and de-friend him..

even MORE random, but while thomas, jessica, and i were talking by my car, after brittany and ashley left (i love her new car, btw)...aunt margo went thru the starbucks drive thru! she didn't even look left at us, she just was like, on a mission to get her coffee before they closed! i was like, oh crap, that's my crazy aunt margo....uhh...*looks away*. thomas and jess were basically like, is she estranged from your fam? me = um, basically, yeah, you could say that... it was just SO weird tho, seeing her so out of the blue. random. anyways, then i went and stopped by wal-mart to get some yogurt and ran into james! how random lol.

anyways...i'm pretty tired and ready to hit the sack. i doubt i'll actually get up with my alarm, but if i do i'm gonna go for a morning run at 6:30 before mom and i take marg to the airport. she leaves tomorrow for FT =( i'll probably just go to the beach and then i get to be dad's DD tomorrow night, since he's gonna have a few beers with his fellow nwf online daily news bloggers at the old don carlos place.

random, but i totally love george strait's "wrapped" - love love love! =]

music: the red jumpsuit apparatus
today...work was the usual, 10:30-4. marg and derrick came in, yay! talked w. summer about her going back and getting her GED-->AA-->bachelors-->becoming a teacher, and how it'd be hard and take a lot of time but she could do it if she really wanted to. hung out at dad's work for a bit, then we went to the khobar towers memorial that's at the 33rd, since today's the anniversary. when we got back to the car, tim mcgraw's "if you're reading this" was playing on the radio, which was REALLY just like, whoa, considering the timing and whatnot...dad knew a bunch of the guys who were killed. he was supposed to have been there actually, but his commander wouldn't let him go bc mom was already TDY - the guy who took his place was killed...crazy.

then...went home. watched some tv. had a bagel, yogurt, and chz. went to the base track at 9, ran 4M, walked 3/4 (in between the laps). i was gonna do 5 but on my last lap a HUGE brown spider was chilling in the first lane and i took it as a sign from god to not do the 5th. the heat lightning was quite pretty. took a long hot shower, watched some tv with mom, talked with boovy some tonight, and now i'm off to bed.

tomorrow...work from 10-4, starbucks tomorrow night from 7-9. marg leaves friday morning, i'll probably go to the beach afterwards since i'm not working...ta ta.
