Well, Danika told me today that it's been a while since I've done anything with my blog. I'd have to agree with her. I mean... last I wrote was in February. Lame... Well, I shall fix that since I am here tonight. :)
Hmm... What has happened since February... Quite a lot actually.
I quit working as a part time custodian at Fairfield Jr High. It had been 5 years since I started. I think I quit there on like the 15th of August. Even after being out of a job since then, I don't regret my decision to leave. I think it was best for everyone. It's worked out well actually. I went and visited Danika, Tom, and Dan last Friday and Tom (the boss) will even tell you that I look a lot happier now. I'm on to bigger and better things now. :)
Then my mom had a hysterectomy on August 24th and all was well until 3 weeks later. She wasn't feeling good that Monday when she went to the doctor. We just sort of passed it off as a stomach ache. *shrug* Anyways, as the week went on she got to feeling worse. When Saturday rolled around we started telling her she needed to go to the hospital but she wouldn't listen. I even offered to DRIVE her down to where she wanted to go and she didn't take the offer. Finally on Monday we got her to agree to go to the hospital. It wasn't a pleasant experience that night. I swear we spent like an hour or so waiting to get into the ER and then like 5 hours or whatever AFTER that for them to figure out what was wrong and get her moved to a room. She was there until the following Monday. But I suppose it was all worth it since she felt much better afterwards. I did learn one thing though when I visited her the Friday before she came home. I learned that it's not good for me to be on the phone with my Grandma Smith with my dad AND mom telling me what to say. The most intelligent thing that will come out of my mouth is: "You no come now." Yeah... I'm real smart. ;)
Then, in September I went to Estes Park, Colorado for the Scottish Festival with Danika, her mom, and a bunch of her mom's friends. I had an absolutely splendid time. I so didn't want to come home. The festival was awesome. I got a real sword! I love it. :) The guy who was selling the swords was really hilariously awesome. I also got to sit through the Tattoo. I wasn't sure I would like it very much but I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. Then I also got to go on a Ghost and History tour of The Stanley Hotel. It was kinda neat. Unfortunately I didn't capture any paranormal evidence. Hey, maybe if I get the money and time one day I can go back for one of the Ghost hunts they do or whatever it is. It's like $50 dollars and at night you go on a 4 hour paranormal investigation type of thing. I think that would be way fun! We stayed at The Silver Moon Inn. It was a very nice hotel. It was within walking distance of all the good stores and the restaurants. I had fun sharing a room with Danika because I didn't have to worry about keeping everything in its place. :) I mean, you're on vacation in a hotel. That's not the time to be neat and orderly. Hehe :) Anyways, I am totes going back there someday. I even enjoyed the 8 hour car ride on my birthday to come home. :)
I think the worst thing about October was when I was house sitting for Danika that first weekend. I had gotten their mail like I always do when I house sit for them. Danika had gotten a magazine and I figured "Hey, what the heck. I'll read it." I was so excited when near the front there was a picture of David Draiman. I flipped through the rest of the magazine and was positively THRILLED to see that they had an interview with Disturbed. I was crushed and sorely disappointed to find out that it was an interview about them breaking up the band. I'm still upset about it actually. Now I'm not so sure I'll ever get to see them live. I totes regret not going to see them when they were here last September. Oh well... Danika reassures me that "bands do this all the time. They'll get back together." Knowing that didn't make it any less difficult to deal with though. I mean, the love of my life was not only getting married but his band wasn't together anymore! Since then I had refused to listen to them willingly or wear any of their shirts I have. I wore my David Draiman hoodie the other day only because it was the one clean one I had. But today I actually watched a Disturbed music video to see how I was feeling. I can say that I probably wouldn't turn the radio off if they came on but I'm not ready to listen to them all day everyday again.
Hmm... I can't think of anything else really... OH! wait!
Tomorrow night I'm going to see JUDAS PRIEST in concert! Haha! I'm so excited :) Then, I'm staying at Danika's and the next day... We're having a double party! We're having an Oblivion/Research party! I can't wait to show Danika my new outfit. I've tried real hard to think of what I can do to make the outfit more perfect. I've got a few ideas and I hope it turns out well!
I am so in love with someone who has eyes and squeezable muscles.... I love him more than David Draiman :)
