so sleepy

Saturday night we went to see Brandon's band, Idiogram, play at J.J. Kelley's in Lansing. It was my first time there, but we had a lot of fun. Me, Annie, Lori, Matt, and some old friends from high school showed up. The band was pretty awesome, I was impressed. You never really know what a friend's band is going to be like ~ cause according to them, they're GREAT! But, it all worked out. Afterward we ended up going to a hotel party in a little dive motel next door. That was interesting. But, all in good fun.

Did I mention that Annie's brother Matt, who is a year older than me and one of those "mysterious type" hotties in high school semi-hit on me? Annie was telling me that I could move into her parent's house if I wanted to since they have extra bedrooms and her parents are cool ~ not to mention it would get me out of dad's house. And, Matt was like, "no way she can't move in." When Annie asked why he said, "I can't have a hot single girl living in our house, that would be bad news." Whoa! The biggest confidence booster EVER - especially coming from him. I was shocked cause it was definately one of those "I feel kinda bloated nights so I better show some cleavage cause that's all I have going for me." Ladies, you feel my pain, right?

Since we didn't get home until 4:30 a.m. it is understandable that I slept until 11:30. But, I still felt like such a slacker. I had to come home and help dad paint. Sucks! But, then I took a nap for about 2 hours, went to sleep around 10:30 and didn't get up this morning until 9. Whoa! I feel like I've been in a coma. I think I'm just in a bit of a funk from moving back & (sigh) missing Springfield. Trying to find my place back here with my friends, my dad's house - and starting a new routine. I miss Washington Park! Where do I run and ride my bike now? Gotta find a new spot. Well, I think I'm gonna go make some Green Tea & try my hardest to wake the hell up.

Anyone else heard the new atrocity by the Black Eyed Peas? "I'm a get, get, get you drunk, get you love drunk off this hump..." Whaaaa? If they aren't playing this in Springfield yet, get ready, because it's definitely worth a laugh.

So, it's friday night...my first friday night back in the Chi. I'm going to see The Exorcism of Emily Rose and then who knows what. I've heard mixed reviews on this film - one that it's basically a 2 hour episode of Law & Order and others that say it's worth seeing. Either way, I'll decide for myself. That is, if I don't die of a heart attack first. Did I mention I hate scary movies?

It's kind of stressful wondering when I am going to get a job. I hate not having money. At least I don't have to worry about paying rent or utilities anymore. But, I do have rather large credit card bills. I like to shop - so what? And, student loans. I think I can defer them if I absolutely have to. We'll see how soon I can start substitute teaching. It's not my lifelong career ambition, but it pays pretty well for an in-between job. Except that I'll have to put up with rugrats all day. Did I mention I don't have much patience? Better work on that.

Anyway, gonna go chat with the Daddio before my date (?) comes to pick me up. (It might not be a date ~ I'll report later on that.)
