Hey...t.

These last few days have been crazy. Christmas night, Tia and I came to my apartment. Friday, S4S had a show, so the entire sisterhood and Julie went. It was a lot of fun. Haze and Zac stayed the night. We all drank (minus me) and danced. Zac unfortunately had too much tequila and long story short, we had a huge fight. He wanted to drive home but I wouldn't let him because he was so wasted. To keep him from going anywhere, I took his keys. He broke into his jeep with a hanger. He talked shit to random guys and got rowdy. It was bad- I yelled at him, I stomped around, I walked around in the cold, and I cried. But everything is okay.

The one statement that was the highlight of the night was when Zac and Hazley were in the living room while Tia, Julie, Brit, and I were in my room. All of a sudden, all we heard was Zac say, "the last time I had sex, I HAD FUCKING PNEUMONIA!" as he unknowingly announced it to everyone in the apartment.

Anyway, Tia and I are heading over to Josh's for a while. We're going back to Wilmington in the morning. I'm done with this update.

Blogging from my phone.

It's weird haha. I'm going to do this more. But i'm done right now.


New years resolution: zac is done drinking and smoking- help him with that.

Christmas Eve

And it doesn't feel like it.

Zac and I celebrated it tonight. Well, after I went to church and Outback with Mom, Dad, and Aunt Mary. He came over around 7:30, and we exchanged gifts. He got me a necklace, three shirts from Forever 21 (including the one shirt I wanted more than anything), some S4S stuff (not christmas present- he was just giving it to me), and... he's paying for my tiger tattoo :x

I really don't know what I would do without him. He wrote me this card and it almost made me cry.

"No matter how crazy everything gets at times, at the end of the day, I'll always have something to make everything better as long as I have you. I'm not quite sure what I did right to end up with such an amazing and beautiful girlfriend, but I'm so glad I did :). You bring out the best in me. Baby, you're the best!"

Honestly, it was the cutest thing I've ever read. It still doesn't feel real that I have such an incredible guy in my life, but I do. I honestly, truly do. And it's about time.

Merry Christmas.

All I want for Christmas...

is THIS. Hello, Disney World. How I miss you so.

Also, grades...

as of right now (12/16/09):

Spanish: B

Lit: C

Religion: B+

Still waiting to see what I got in my Western Art class.

Be Now.

Not in the past- Be NOW.

That's the name of me & Britany's music project.

2010 is going to launch us into it, full blast.

We need to start writing music ASAP.

We already have a photoshoot lined up.

First or second week in January.

My twin, Josh Hofer (Corrupted Lens) is doing it.

I can't stop listening to electronica.

Especially Lady Gaga's STUPID Christmas song.

I'm going over Josh's soon.

/Update.

Blank canvas, blank mind.

I keep thinking about a lot of stuff. I think I'm going to try again for the Disney internship. Tia and I were gonna do it, but never followed completely through with it or followed up on it. With the Disney internship, you get to work at Disney World. You take classes. You make money working at the greatest theme park ever AND get college credit for it. It's the best deal ever, and I'd love to try it again.

Anyway, I just got home from my spanish exam and I don't think I've ever aced something as easy as it. I just breezed right on through it. I'm proud of myself. Tomorrow is going to be the hardest exam though. It's my Survey of Western Art exam. I need to start studying now until Katie comes over. I have a lot to figure out with this class. I'm already prepared to do badly. I would like to bring my grade up though.

I don't have much to talk about. I'm done.

Crazy weekend.

Failed my religion exam. He dropped that grade though. I ended up getting a B. Still don't know about Lit yet.

Thursday was LMFAO. It started out a typical night. Julie, Britany, and I went. Long story short, we ended up thinking we were partying with them, but hung out with just Pete (LMFAO's camera guy/robot). That was... interesting. Also, we saw a car (not to mention we were parked next to it) catch on fire. Scariest thing I've ever seen, I kid you not. We didn't get home until 5am.

Friday, I drove back to Wilmington. LMFAO played in Myrtle Beach, so Tia, Codi, and I went. We were supposed to chill with Pete, but he was asleep until about 10 minutes before LMFAO went on, so he texted me, saying he'd see me after the show. We didn't get to party because they had to get on the road almost as soon as the show was over. They'll be back in February though. Stayed at Tia's and we got home around 3am.

Saturday, I spent most of the day with mom and dad. It was nice to spend time with the family. We decorated the tree and whatnot. Yesterday was a hard day- I was finally told that the reason Grandmommy is doing so horribly is because she has four different types of cancer (brain, lung, liver, and breast) & is down to months left to live. Like I said, it was a hard day. Went shopping with Tia. Went home around 1am and went to bed.

Sunday, hung out with mom and dad again. Went to Grandmommy's for a while as well, and Conor's. Left Wilmington around 4. Stayed at Conor's until 8:30. Just got home about an hour or so ago.

Anyway, it's 1:30am and I need to go to bed. I have an exam at 8am. Crazy, roller coaster of a weekend. Kinda glad it's over, but kinda wish I could go back. February 19 & 20, get here now.

Another star, another day.

So I have my english exam in about 55 minutes. I'm surprisingly not too nervous about it. I'm sitting here, eating a bowl of oatmeal and listening to Jersey Shore. Surprisingly I'm not too into it after all. I go home to Wilmington in about 11 days, and I'm pretty stoked. As soon as I head there, I'm going to Conor's first. I think it's so funny that her boyfriend thinks that I'm sketchy. Of all people, ME. Apparently driving three hours for one night to go to a party is sketchy. You learn something new everyday, I guess.

Anyway, I have an exam today, 12-3; one tomorrow, 3:30-6:30; one Monday, 8-11; and one Tuesday, 12-3. I'm so ready for them to be over and be on my over-a-month long Christmas break.

I get to sell books back today and make some money. I might go to Raleigh tonight, but I really need to study for my religion exam tomorrow. So I'm pretty sure I am going to do that instead. I really need to put school first and stop going out. My parents say it all the time and now I'm agreeing. Yesterday, I should have been studying for today's exam, but instead I went out all day. Granted I still got my studying done AND got Christmas shopping/oil change done, I still should have done my studying first.

I have a list of New Years resolutions. Here they are:

1. Work out AT LEAST once a week.

2. Get all As in my classes (Bs are okay, but I'm shooting for As)

3. Get my music project off the ground.

4. Eat healthier/tone up muscles.

5. Stop cussing/talking shit about people, no matter how stupid they are.

6. Move forward with life, not backward!

I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's what I have so far. It's time to go to class. BYE.

We'll have a drink and maybe so much more.

Today was a grand day. Came home from Wilmington. Sat at the apartment for an hour. Spent the rest of the day in Charlotte. Got my other nostril pierced, thank you Taddeo. Hung out at Unbreakable Ink for quite a while. I love that kid, baha. Went shopping the rest of the time we weren't at Unbreakable. Walked around downtown. I don't know why, but I love the feeling I get when it comes to being in Charlotte. Even if I froze my ass off.

Sooo, the best friend finally found a woman. I'm pretty stoked for him. It's about freakin' time some lucky lady snatched him up! We have been through so much in the last year and a half, but he's an amazing guy and deserves the best. We are absolutely ridiculous at times, and I love it.

1:52amSammie

thats hawt.

Things like that make me love my life so much.

Also, for New Years, I'm going to Wilmington instead of Chicago. I can always go out there another time. And I'm jealous of all the WI kids, because they're supposed to get about 2 feet of snow tomorrow. And what about us? Nothing.

I'm just kinda rambling right now because I had coffee on the way home and I'm still falling asleep. I need to go to bed so I can get up at a decent time to study for my finals this week.

With a chill in the air, and lights on houses everywhere, it's time to spread that Christmas cheer.

Exactly three weeks until Christmas. I really cannot believe it. The time has gone by so fast. I cannot wait until that morning. And the fact that my best friend gets to spend Christmas with my entire family. I love that my parents wouldn't allow that for just ANYONE. They really see her as a part of the family.

Also, I can't wait for it to snow. Since today is TECHNICALLY Friday, that means it's supposed to snow TOMORROW. I'm SOOOOOO excited. I hardly get snow anymore living in the south. I honestly don't even care if it sticks or not, as long as it falls.

Tonight was... interesting. First, Summer and I met Britany at Denny's for the weekly D-sesh. We talked over coffee and good food, like we always do. Afterwards, Summer and I came home briefly then went over to Eda's house to see Clint and Wil. Greg and Drew were with them. I missed Clint and Wil and was very happy to see them, as they were happy to see us as well.

The whole time, Greg was drunk (which is weird to me because he's been edge as long as I've known him, though I had a feeling it wouldn't last. It seems to be a joke down here- in NC anyway.) and he, as always, kept telling me I should date him. And as always, I brushed it off. He's been doing this for about 6 months now, and it gets kind of old after a while. As Summer and I put it (and if I wasn't happily in a relationship like I currently am), "If he were... not Greg, I'd date him." Bahahaha, I love my life and my friends.

Back to Amarna Reign. Back to Christmas. Back to life. Later!

PS, Josh and I are going to see A Christmas Carol in 3D on Sunday when he gets off work. SOO stoked. Just sayin'.

A long December and there's reason to believe...

maybe this year will be better than the last.

Counting Crows said it best. I'm hoping that 2010 will be better than 2009. Don't get me wrong, 2009 has had some good points, but there is always a chance for improvement. 2009 has also had some really bad times as well. I'm ready for my life to take shape and really show me what is going to happen.

Also, I have 29 days to come up with at least one New Years resolution. Last year, I never made one and now that the year is coming to a close, I almost feel empty- like I didn't do anything spectacular. I want to change a lot of things, the only thing is to get it started.

Sitting in class really makes me think sometimes. Obviously not about what we're doing in class, but just about life in general. I'm happy with how things are going again, but like I said, there is always room for improvement.

My audition for the School of Music is in 2 days. I wasn't as nervous about it until today. Now I'm super scared. I keep telling myself I'll make it. But... what if I don't? I already have my schedule set up in case I don't, but I hate rejection. Since music is what I wanna do with my life, I don't want to be rejected. Granted I could stick with photojournalism and do music on the side, plus I could stick with my dream of my music project. Something about teaching piano makes me feel good. Taking my talent and sharing it with others.

I'm going to pay attention to class. We only have 30 minutes left and it's the last lecture of the semester for this class.
