THIS TIME AROUND - Randy Rogers and Cody Canada
Lonely Motel Music - BMI/ShanCan Music - BMI
Yeah I used to be crazy, yeah they called me a fool I guess I wasn't myself back when I wanted you I see you comin round again, that same look in your eye I'd have to be crazy to fall again for your lies
Chorus: I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart You could have had it once but you tore it all apart I'm gonna throw your crying eyes over my left shoulder Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around
No, I can't stay a little longer, I gotta be on my way I've heard a thousand times, everything you have to say I'll show myself to the door, and I'll turn out your light I'll get in my car, you'll be alone again tonight
Chorus
Bridge: Never thought I'd be so cold, what'd you expect me to do Can't put it all on hold, I learned it all from you I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart You could have had it once but you tore it all apart I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my right shoulder Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around...
Yeah, I heard it last night and I was like, what.... Heard it again once I got the CD today and just went ballistic... I almost cried in the fucking car.... It was that fucking similar... And I am over B2, its just that song brought it all crashing back....
I watched Brother Bear earlier maybe I'll go on a Disney movie marathon and go watch Finding Nemo... eh, maybe not... At least there's always something good on the National Geographic channel....
I've decided to have a new habit.... When I'm at shows I'm going to leave my phone on vibrate in my pocket, that way I miss no calls and I get nice little buzz when someone does call... :0) Also need to give my number to certain people so that they don't bitch that they can't find me at shows... (clearing throat...). :P thats about it for now... laters.
Stole this from Kara who stole it from Meg...you write about 14 people, but don't say their name...y'all guess who I am talking about....

Holy shit I've turned into fucking Garth Brooks! Lord, please forgive me and look after the starving pigmies down there in New Guinea.... lmao...
For some reason I'm now obsessed with the word fucking... More than likely its the combo of a Bleu show AND a Randy show and neither one is known for cencoring himself... Though Bleu's gotten better than when I first started going to his shows... Every other fucking word was fuck... A whole lot worse than I am now.... I'm fucking tame in comparison.... Damn I need a fucking parent around or kid or something thats like the only way I'll stop with the fucking...
My review of the Randy show.. http://www.galleywinter.com/main/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=28795
If you don't read it, you won't have a fucking clue... lol...
If you don't read it you still need to know.... Chops is fucking hot, Brady;s o so doable, as usual... Though he had a bit of a tummy going... Still abidding by the NEVER DATE A MUSICIAN credo.... Pennies was adorable but still in now way shape or form do able... But he tried to flirt with me and I bust a gut..... :0)
Half expected W to show and he didn't surprised the fuck outta me... But then I haven't talked to him in a few days, since pre - b drama... Speaking of B's... B2 was suprised as hell to see me... Didn't get to talk to him but found out he'd just broken up with his most current girl of the moment that day.... But he didn't call me 2day, I'm not surprised in the least... We hadn't spoken in like a month.... Oh, well I am over him, as much as some people think I'm not.... I'm done getting hung out top dry and strung along like some tired ass stoopid mo fo who has nothing better to do.... Hence the saying NEVER EVER DATE A MUSICIAN!!!
anyway Im thinking I'm gonna go to bed now... Maybe i'll wake up and everything in life will be fucking perfect... Doubtful but possible...
Laters!!!!
Saturday, August 28, 2004
If not, I'm not gonna tell ya!! :0)
So I missed going to Cactus today, I was nowhere near ready to go anywhere at 3, finally about 4 or 430 I meandered in that direction to see Randy and the guys about to leave... So I go to Petsmart instead....
Otherwise I've done this afternoon is burn CDs and play on GW.... I'm soooo productive aren't I? :0) I'm about to start getting ready for Randy's show 2night... I still have no clue what I'm wearing but I'm thinking comfort (ie warmth) over beauty since I did cute last night....
Later on....
Friday, August 27, 2004
My schedule for the weekend is:
Friday night - Bleu Edmondson at the Firehouse
Saturday afternoon - Randy Rogers at Cactus Music
Saturday night - Randy Rogers at the Firehouse
So if you need me, try my cell... Or go to the Firehouse... lol. Later.
Now I don't get mad often, but B pissed me off thoroughly... I've told him he has no chance in hell of ever resurrecting any sort of romantic thing with me... Seems like every time I unwittingly say something that sets him off, he immediately begins to beat that poor, old dead horse.... And I don't want to NOT be friends with him since i do adore him... Its just every now and then he won't stop and I won't put up with drama from anyone, let alone him....
So he pretty much turned a pretty decent day into a crappy day... Pretty much another Wednesday.... Thanks a lot, B.... I really needed to feel as shitty as I did yesterday... For those that don't know... Wednesday sucked. I got rejected, told the positions were filled and/or I wasn't qualified for a plethra of jobs... I don't handle rejection well so having it happen again and again wasn't good thing... I tried to indulge in some retail therapy but nothing looked good enough to buy and even if it did I couldn't afford it... DAMNIT!
To top that off I had a bad hair day.... ARGH!!! So, yeah, saying Wednesday sucked is a bit of an understatement.....
But at least I looked cute tonight, got an awesome haircut Tuesday and got hit on by hot guys this week... So if nothing unforeseen happens 2morrow I think the end of the week should be awesome!
Thats about it for now... Laters....

Excerpt from Shame on Me - Ryan Cabrera
Shame on me wanting you
The way i fantasize about
What i'd give, what i'd do
I just want to work you out
Times like this I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
Shame on me another time
Please don't walk away
I'm only drifting 'cause you look so good tonight
Now that we're alone it's so hard to listen
Excerpt from Let's Take Our Time - Ryan Cabrera
To hurry you would be a crime
Let's take our time
I don't want this to die
You know you got me mesmerized
Excerpts from True - Ryan Cabrera
I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move till you finally see
That you belong with me
You might think
I don't look
But deep inside in the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
I'm weak
It's true
Cause I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cause my heart keeps falling faster
You don't know
What you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak
It's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know you met me?
Thats about it for now... Later on....
Sunday, August 22, 2004
Let me go back start at the beginning....
Hi, my name is Alison and I'm.... Oh, wait wrong place...
So yeah, Friday night I went to see Garden State with Lauren, thats some funny shit.... Sure its got its sad moments since the whole reason the main character is where he is is because his mother died... But even parts of the reason behind that are sort of ironically funny... Came home got on GW since I didn't feel like going out.... Mom drunk dialed me... She's been in Austin for the weekend and she was at some bar with her friends... She called me up yelling something about the band sounding like Pat Green... She then proceeds to hold the phone up so I can hear (which I couldn't) and scream.... The phone cut out and I couldn't stop laughing...
Also Friday, Lauren told me JP's getting married... The reason? The girl's pregnant and its supposedly his... I thought he was gay, which makes the situation quite funny....
Saturday watched the Return of the King finally... Then I went over to Julian's about 7 or 8... We went to Blockbuster and got Barbershop 2 and then went over to his house.... A few other people came over and we watched the movie.... Some wise ass decided to make a drinking game out of it... Now I had the option to back out but this is a group of new people to get drunk in front of... So I did.... And then Jules brought me home and I got on GW.... Went to bed, woke up and here I am... :0)
Almost went nuts looking for my keys, by the way... Found em in the kitchen... I'm still not sure how they got there... Anyway Lauren wants to use the computer.... Laters...

Friday, August 20, 2004
So what was in it you may ask yourself.... What WAS going on in that girl's mind.... Short recap... I expanded on some of earlier thoughts, talked about running into an old friend, being jobless sucking, and guys.... Just the usual... LOL!!!!
You're just dying to hear the whole story? Well I suppose I can indulge ya, this once.... Just cuz I'm a nice person that way... :0)
I took B his lupper and when he saw me the first words out of his mouth were, "Oh, shit, she's back..." Then he laughed and we hugged... He's such a silly goumba... I asked what he meant later and he's like you haven't worn heels most of the summer are you after someone... I laughed him off and refused to admit guilt or innocence... A few people know but I'm keeping it on the downlow.... At least for now... :0)
Let's see... I saw JJ at the Galleria the other day with his BOTM (bitch of the moment) and we visited... Not 10 minutes later I see his ex, Jenna - the puta. She ignored me, lucky her, I still wanna kick her ass for what she did to my boy...
Ali's Life Lessons
Lesson # 1 - DON'T MESS WITH MY FRIENDS.
Lesson #2 - Don't date musicians.... :0)
Lesson # 3 - You may call me pretty but quit staring at my boobs when you do....
Lesson # 4 - NEVER drink and take Nexium for your acid reflux...
I won't go into all the lessons, but you get the idea....
Lets see, what else... I ran into Julian, he actually stopped me for speeding over by 2nd Baptist... I knew he was a cop I didn't know he was running my old 'hood... We also made plans to get together at some point...
I got a phone call at 3 am the other night as I was about to go to bed and I had to go to House of Pies for a girl induced drama emergency major... I'm far too nice by far... Got back at almost 5 am... Got up at like 930 am somehow and La yelled at me for sleeping so late... I was like WTF, who are you, my mother???
Also after she made the hermit comment the other day I realized something.... She's the one who used to come in from Ft Worth just to sit downstairs and watch movies all weekend... Now she reads in the living room most mornings.... Who is she to judge me if I don't feel like going out?
Lets see what else... Bought the new Ryan Cabrera CD, you should go get it too... Need to get tix for Fall Fandango and decide if I wanna go to CCR at the track or see the manwhore at the Firehouse... I'll probably wind up at the manwhore's show... Just becuz its closer and cheaper.... and he does put on a hell of a show... I'm thinking about going to the FH tonight to see No Justice and Mark David Manders... Heard of them, no idea what they sound like.....
In other news, I've stayed up every night this week till 3 am or later.... Except last night I was up till 230.... :0) Whats sooo interesting I have to stay up so late? Well most of my friends are night people like me, and I have free nights on my cell so we catch up and I've been on GW and AIM... Talked to Lav and Kev and Craig every night... Or almost every night... Kev wasn't around last night.. Probably since he had the 3 kiddos over yesterday.... Poor boy....
Um, I think that about covers everything I forgot yesterday and then some.... oh, hold up.... I have to clarify something... Yet again...
I have this blog to ramble, fume, fuss, bitch, whine, name call, and just to generally get my feelings out in the open.... So :P hehehe, how old am I again? 2... no 5... no I'm 25... lol.... That reminds me of a story... But I'm not gonna go into it since I don't feel like it and I need to go get some stuff done.... Liquor bought, that sort of thing.... :0) Laters!
Thursday, August 19, 2004
First off, hardly anyone was on last night, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and GW were all quiet as mice... I think a lot of people went to bed early or something... I'm not sure... Craig and Kev were on though so the night wasn't a total wash... I got caught up on the Olympics, I should have worked on Kristen's CDs but didn't.... They'll get done eventually...
I took B his lunch (or was it dinner since it was almost 5?) and he saw me, and then he saw the new shoes.... First words out of his mouth? "Oh, shit, she's baaaack....." Then he laughed and hugged me... I adore that boy, he's sooo crazy...
Ran into Jules yesterday... Actually he stopped me for speeding.. How ironic is that since he's the one who always used to rag on me to stop speeding? :0) Anyway we made plans to get together this weekend since his fiancee's out of town.... That just sounds bad doesn't it? lol.
It seems like I keep running into people I haven't seen in a while all over the place... Tuesday it was JJ at the Galleria with his new girl of the moment, ran into his ex, Jenny not 5 minutes later.... She barely acknowledged me... I can't say I blame her though, I would have kicked her ass for the way she did him... And Danny's not working security there anymore so I don't know anyone that would have had my back there...
Oh, and after La called me a hermit yesterday, I remembered something... This is the girl who used to come in from Ft Worth for a weekend just to sit downstairs watching movies in the den.... And now that she lives here she spends most of the morning reading in the living room.... BIG change.... lol.... Anyway I think I'm gonna go eat lunch and run some errands, maybe I'll even drive Memorial since I haven't done that in a while.... And I do need to go to Kohls... Hmm... We'll see... Laters!
But on the subject of men... I've learned a smidge of self control... I no longer mutter doable or not under my breath when I see a guy... :0)
Also La told me about a make out bar near here, my next objective? Find someone to go with me... :0)
I'm also ashamed of FYE... I looked at their Best in Texas section and they had Kenny Chesney's new CD.... Gasp, egads!!!
In other news I swear I hit every red light and school zone when I was out running my errands today AND yesterday!
Also learned something new... There are people that actually wash lampposts for a living? I had no clue til yesterday....
Also so many cute kids at the Galleria... Not making my biological clock tick or anything but they were cute.... One little girl had on all this jewelry like big ears, bracelets the works and she couldn't have been more than 3.... Then there were the 2 girls trying to do skating moves like a teenage girl who had obviously had a few lessons... The teenager was nice enough to try and instruct them... I thought that was cool of her...
Also I finally understand something thats been vexing me... I figured out why people hold hands in the Park, or while they're exercising period... At least I think I do....
I realllllyyyy wanted to go to Spec's yesterday too... (The big one off Westheimer) But then I figured out I can't afford my usual tab there and so I just grabbed a 6 pack at Kroger's instead....
I finally finished Texas Etiquette that Kinky Friedman book I got at the library, pretty funny shit.... I've also decided to start reading one nonromance novel a week at least.... We'll see how well that works...
Also weighed myself for the first time in a week or so and I've lost almost 3 pounds!!! And thats after the Krispy Kreme yesterday....
My legs are killing me since I tried to jog at the park the other day but I went ahead and walked last night and skipped tonight...
Finally called Dr Taddie and found out my options.... Not looking good since there are only 2.... I'd like to have a 3rd for backup to the back up...
Been talking to Kev and Craig most of the night... GW was slower than molasses... I still need to finish Kristen's CDs so I can mail em.... Need to figure out my plans for the weekend..... Mom's goin to Austin so who knows..... Lauren called me a hermit today... I call it trying to save money till I have money coming in... I go out I spend money on gas, food, and buy stuff I want but don't need... IE today bought some killa flip flops with big ass chunky heels like I love at Target (B saw and the first words out of his mouth were, oh,shit, she's back....) and the new Ryan Cabrera CD.... I emailed Sarah since she's never on since school started to tell her so well see if I hear her scream from here..... lol.... :0)
The job hunt continues and I'm goin to bed.... Laters.

Bad Habit - The Lost Trailers
I am not asking you to understand, All that I do cause that's the way I am,
But I all I want is to be your man.
Just let me be your…bad habit.
Just tell me what you need and you'll have it now.
Just tell her heart to release me.
I'm only weathered cause I've had to fight,
Against a world that wants to run our life,
But I would stop to be with you tonight.
Just let me be your….bad habit.
Just tell me what you need and you'll have it now.
Just tell her heart to release me,
She used to please me, so come on and release me.
Leaving her, no, I'd never think it,
'Til we went out by the river, now I'm sinkin' down.
Those days are gone, thanks to you,
Now I'll I'm wanting is the love that's flowing through you.
Just let me be your bad habit.
Me today....
Little Bit Crazy - Bleu Edmondson
I need a cigarette now
Nothin’ but old regrets now
Drama runnin’ through my veins
The pressure’s blowin’ up my brain
She left me on a Monday
She kissed me and said someday
I should have gone to bed
I got drunk alone instead
Chorus
And if you asked me I would smile
And we could sit and talk awhile
But there’s just too much to hide
And I got nothin’ left inside
I'm just a little bit crazy
I need a cigarette now
Nothin’ but old regrets now
Drama runnin’ through my veins
I swear to God I'm goin’ insane
Chorus
Only a hell of a change... Especailly since Bad Habit's my fun, sassy song and Lil Bit Crazy's my I'm starting to get kind of down about something but I'm keeping my sense of humor song.... So yeah had a bit of drama this morning... Es no bueno... I don't like drama, I like it even less when it involves me.
I have some random thoughts from yesterday and last night but I'll just post those later....
Tuesday, August 17, 2004
2 songs I'm not only digging at the moment, but the way they seem to be made for me in my current mood is so awesome its scary.....
Nobody's Girl - Reckless Kelly
The first man that you ever loved
Left your mama and never said goodbye to anyone
And you were raised with your head held high
But any fool can see it’s just a clever disguise
You’re nobody’s baby
You’re nobody’s darlin’
You’re nobody’s girl
You’ve always been a little scared to open your heart
And you never let anybody take it too far
You never let ‘em on the inside
'Cause you’re always scared you’ll be taken for a ride
You’re nobody’s baby
You’re nobody’s darlin’
You’re nobody’s girl
Everybody wants you but you don’t want to care
So you keep ‘em at a distance with the frown you wear
You spend your time trying to even the score
And you’ve got it in your head you deserve a lot more
The first one was a true disaster
So was the second one and every one after
But when you’re breaking in a broken home
You’re gonna be sure to spend some nights on your own
When you’re nobody’s baby
You’re nobody’s darlin’
You’re nobody’s girl
You’re nobody’s baby
You’re nobody’s darlin’
You’re nobody’s girl
You’re nobody’s girl
And Don't Break My Heart Again - Pat Green
She was standing there at the edge of outta control.
Hair wild and her eyes filled with the pain.
She took her heart on a string and tied it to a red balloon and she watched it fly up high into the clouds.
Don't break my heart again.
We're one in the same.
Baptised by tears.
Washed in the blame.
You can let your heart go.
But I will hunt you down.
Your love is all I want to win.
Don't break my heart again.
He dreams of a girl with a heart tied to a red balloon.
He wants her so bad, she wants him too.
There standing there at the edge of another lonely night.
House empty and the walls are caving in.
Don't break my heart again.
We're one in the same.
Baptised by tears.
Washed in the blame.
You can let your heart go.
But I will hunt you down.
Your love is all I want to win.
Don't break my heart again.
It's hard to find love.....
It's hard to find love.....
Your love is all I want to win.
Don't break my heart again.
Yeah, awesome but scary.... Anyway I'm off... Laters.
Monday, August 16, 2004
I started thinking about doing this particular post yesterday but I decided not to and just do it today instead cuz its not like I can forget what a contradiction I am. :0)
So heres the deal... I realized something this weekend... I give off a completely different vibe to people who don't know me than to people who do... Does that make any sense?
With my friends I'm wacky, off the wall, random, all over the place and just a generally laid back fun sort of girl.... But when I'm just meeting someone, until I'm around them for a while I seem like a cold fish... In other words a quiet bitch.... Ok maybe not bitch... But I've been told I seem very quiet and reserved and that people were afraid to approach me...
I'm a people person, always have been, always will be.... I enjoy talking to people but meeting people in crowds I seem to snub new people and I don't mean to at all... Thats just rude. And I abhor rudeness in others and myself.... So I've made a promise to Nate and myself.... I'm going to go out of my comfort zone and try not to be so stiff in social situations...
In other news I told La I was goin to a job fair 2morrow at Reliant and she thought I said dog show... Um, k, la, where did you get dog show out of job fair? LOL. Silly sister.... I forgot something last night... I ran into Linz and Mike at Krogers... Not important but I don't like to leave stuff out if I can help it.....
In yet other news, now half my friends know who the previous post was about and are now pressuring me to make a move... I can take pressure, but like Kristen said, I'm chicken shit... I'm afraid to make the first move.. Every time I have in the past (all 3 or 4 times) I've been rejected, rebuffed and in one case reprimanded.... Yeah, don't ask about that one... So I'm going to try to work up my nerve to do something... I don't know what yet, but we'll see....
So yeah thats about it for now... I'm off to get ready and be productive today... Laters....
Sunday, August 15, 2004
I still feel every lyric-ey... So you'll have to deal....
Lets see where to start, cute kids at krogers, sleepless nights or decisions I've made.... I saw these really cute little girls at Kroger's dressed like fairies... They had little wands and everything, they were just too cute for words....
I had a hard timing sleeping last night... I was having a problem with something and I finally made peace with it.... I figured I was being far too picky and really petty to boot... And immature to top all that off.... Besides its one of those things that even if I did let bother me, this person can't help being... Reading my horoscope today really helped me to settle myself into the idea of following through with my decision.... I know this really doesn't make any sense but there are a few people that know what situation I'm talking about.... Its not exactly a situation... Aw, hell its a guy. I'm no good at being mysterious... I was bothered cuz he's short. I'm cool with that now. At first I was kinda weirded out. I doubt anything will occur since he seems a bit intimadated by me... Oh, well such is my life....
Anyway I thought about calling B last night cuz I really could have used a sleeping bud (sleeping NOT sex). And he's perfect for that. But that would create all sorts of drama I don't need and confuse him too.... That sort of covers the last 2 bits I wanted to cover both at the same time.
Honeybrowne at the Firehouse rocked....

It was really really great.... I got to stand in front of Alex and Fred, so I was in 7th heaven....
I've been working on Kristens CDs on and off for the last day or so, hopefully I'll have those done by 2morrow.... When I went to Best Buy to get the CDs, the guy helping me was trying to hit on me... Wasn't working very well but it was fun to let him try.... :0)
Thats about it for now.... Laters!!!
Ok, so I might have to disown my sister.... The silly wench LOVES Rascal Flatts... I thought I had taught her better than that.... Its a damn shame I'm gonna have to disown her since she lives here now.... Thats gonna make it hard... Live with someone and not talk to them.... Wonder if that can even be done? Esp. in my family!!!! (Oh, yeah, did I mention its official and all 3 Fritz girls are back in Houston on a full time basis? Poor Houston..... Or something.... :0) Whats worse is 2 of us are single and the third's about to be... *evil laugh*)
So earlier today (Saturday) we (the sisters, and Baby) went to this place called Pei Wei in West U, pretty decent Viatnemese (sp?) place good for Oriental food with a spicy kick... Then we went to see the Princess Diaries 2. Cute and funny.... Just like I thought it might be.... :0) Came home, ran some errands, came home and stayed home... Very boring night for me.... Especially since I went out last night.... Least the Olympics and Texans/Cowboys game were on to keep me occupied....
I'll post about Friday night later.. I'm tired and I think I'm going to bed.... Laters.

Ok enough with the oldies... :0)
Nothing new with the job search, or anything else really so I just did this instead...
I got this off a website off Sarah's Xanga....
part of my mood analysis
"Presently, you are experiencing stress because of restriction on your independence. You need and seek respect from other people and it is essential that they appreciate you for yourself and not for what they would like you to be. You have your own beliefs and convictions and you would like to be respected for them. You are anxious to avail yourself of every opportunity that may come your way but nevertheless, come what may, you have the need to control your own destiny without imposed limitations or restrictions.
You don't like conflict and you endeavor to avoid criticism. You want to do your own thing and to be able to decide what is right for you. You have considerable personable charm - and this is used with considerable effect on those that keep your company."
Its kinda scary how right that is...... Especially considering the present tensions with Mom...
My Archetype
The Crossroads
"This is the inviting and welcoming personality type that is most well known for recreational activities and general partying. Always happy in a crowd, the Crossroads love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun.This personality tends to think in a more holistic approach than many of the other personality types, covering ground piece by piece in a hodgepodge fashion rather than following a single line of logic from beginning to end. Like a crow they are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship."
And again, scary how right that it... I'm most definately not the most logical of thinkers and I go around a problem to find the answer. And I'm a people person, always have been....
And surprisingly enough (gasp egads) my true nationality is German! Whodathunk with a last name like Fritz I'd be German? lmao. :0)
And I'm a Nagging Parent sort of Deity...Must get it from Mom... :0)
"Your vision of the divine is similar to your view of a happy home. As long as everyone knows his or her place, all will be fine. If they step out of line however, you are the first to apply tough love, not with fire and brimstone, but with an unending torrent of guilt-inducing invective and non-stop lecturing."
Ok thats it for now... Laters!!!!

BUT as of Sunday I promised myself I'd work on not feeling that way... And thusfar it seems to be working... So I'm pleased. Cuz everyone knows I DON'T wanna be like I was when I was working at BagnBaggage, all bitter and mean... I was not a pleasant person... Not even I wanted to be around me toward the end of that year...
Anyway what I've been doing lately... Stayed home most of the weekend since I didn't want to deal with crowds for tax free weekend... So I didn't! :0) Linz told me she saw Craig Biggio at Buffalo Wild Wings Friday night, she said he's adorable... And I was like I wouldn't doubt it... Sunday (or was it Saturday??) went to Best Buy and took moms suitcase to Luggage and Leather.... Hit on a cute guy in the DVD section, gave him my number so we'll see what happens.. Yesterday I was such a lazy bones... I woke up late (woke up at 11 instead of 9) and I was gonna do so much and get so much stuff done... Gawd I was motivated Sunday night when I was planning my week... :0)
I didn't do anything I had planned... Except I did re apply at Anthro and do some classified job searching.... I've gotten some leads off of Monster.com and HotJobs and CareerBuilder, so we'll just have to see... Seriously I think I have a resume posted everywhere but on the street corner!
Today I spent most of the day at Moms school helping her and then after that at Kinko's doing stuff for her... Then I came home and made dinner... Ta da! Isn't my life exciting? Or not... :0) Anyway thats about it for now... Laters!

So I'm a post whore. Duh. I'm only only like 4 different forums and 2 of those I post constantly to... GW, and Trailin' the Lost Trailers forum (And your ass should check em out too.... http://www.galleywinter.com and http://www.losttrailers.com - go down to board - click it and get involved!!!) off their website... But they're both fun... Though on Trailin' I probably need to watch what I say.... I need to learn to censor myself better... I mean I know it doesn't matter here or with my friends or on GW, but there are certain circumstances you just can't blurt out whatever's on your mind... I've learned that in my life... I'm usually pretty good about censoring myself around kids, senior citizens and parents... But if you're in my age group (14 - 35 ish) its pretty much anything goes and to hell with the repercussions... And usually that's ok, cuz I'm not the world's most impulsive of people... Spontaneous, yes, but not impulsive... Spontaneity to me is more during things on the spur of the moment that are fun most of the time, impulsive stuff can get you in mad crazy ass trouble... I like to consider and reconsider everything a million times, and usually I talk myself out of shit I shouldn't be doing... I.E. buying that new DVD of Hildalgo when it came out on Tuesday... I LOVE Viggo Mortensen and I adored that movie, but I shouldn't be buying a bunch of shit I don't absolutely need right now... Though the first Trailers CD is being re released and I'm not gonna be able to talk myself out of that one.... Unless I wanna go to Corpus on the 2nd... Or buy it at the 10th dealy at the Firehouse.... At the moment I'm debating going to the Django/Matt thing 2night... I'm tired and I'm not feeling so hot, but I promised some people I'd be there.... Cover's $8's and it starts about 9 ish so we'll see how I feel a little closer to then... Ok so an update on me right now? Went to U of H with Linz today, ate at Chick fil a, came home, ran some errands, came home... Yesterday I was at mom's school most of the day, and I ran into a girl I graduated from high school with... She's engaged and has been teaching for like 3 years.... I felt sorta inadequate the rest of the day... She seemed like a sweetheart though, so its all good.... Its not like she looked pretty and had been more successful in life than me on purpose or anything.... I was in capris and a tshirt, make up less, flip flops, dirty hair... Yea, I felt like crap when I ran into her.... Hearing how great her life was didn't make me feel any better....Wednesday I picked up my pics from the wedding at Walgreens and they were all FUBAR.... Turns out the airport security had messed up my camera and thus the pics were shit... That sucked and I was pissed but now I'm over it.... So to anyone I promised pics to I'm sorry, they're pretty much a loss.
Tuesday went to the national night out with mom for a few, a cute cop was there, didn't get the chance to hit on him we left that fast.... Also on Tuesday bought the new Kevin Fowler CD... Loose, Loud and Crazy. Classic Fowler. I may not like him, doesn't mean I can't like his music... :0)
I'm still jobless, but I do have some new prospects.... Still single and nothing new there.... Um, yea... Still haven't talked to Dr Taddie about the whole school mess and I haven't talked to Nat all week.... Left her a few voice messages.... Haven't heard back from her yet... Talked to Sean and Nathan Wednesday... They're good, poor Sean misses Laurie so badly.... And it is official after he graduates in December he is moving back!!! Whoo hoo!!!!! :0) Talked to Sarah last night for a bit and we (mainly I) decided we needed an old school late night GW chat.... I can't remember the last time all of us were able to talk to each other in more than passing on the boards or blogs.... Life's been hectic I guess....
And one little declaration b4 I call it quits for the night....I AM OVER BLEU EDMONDSON.... I don't know why so many people are still convinced I'm like sooo into him.... I was, yes... Not any longer.... Now I have newer and better looking (doesn't say much I know since my taste in guys has been called questionable) prospects... A couple of them people know about and one or two no one has any clue about.... And that's the way its gonna remain for the time being.... :0)Ok thats it, I'm off to make dinner and do laundry and maybe I'll even get ready and go out... Who knows? :0) Laters!

So since I last wrote... I went to Corpus a week and almost a half ago to see the Lost Trailers play at the Surf Club... (they opened for Creager.) Took lots of pics, if you'd like to see em (for the first time or again) the address is.... http://photobucket.com/albums/v416/alibob78/ Pics from the wedding coming soon.... And if you don't know who the Lost Trailers are http://www.losttrailers.com/, try it and I bet you'll fall in love!!! So anywho, CORPUS... I visited with my family (her neighbors) then Bec and I went to the Surf Club about 8 ish, just in time for the guys to go on... We get up close to the stage and we're all like jamming out... It was greatness... I made a few DD (Drunk Dials for those that don't know what DD stands for - though in this case I was sober)'s. I am still so totally in lust with Manny and Ryder, both members of the band... Becca and I chilled during the break and I got my Averly Jane Tshirt that I've been wanting... Didn't get a chance to talk to the guys since they had to get to Ft Worth for the show at Billy Bob's the next night... I heard from some friends that rocked.... :0) Becca and I only stayed for part of Creager's set and the we went back to her house... Later that night we went out to the beach for our traditional lookie lookie session... Which turned out to be not so much lookie lookie as avoid the tar.... :0) We went out on the Pier and I think we shocked some fishermen by talking about sex... Whoo hoo, score one for me!!!! We went back to Becca's and watched a movie and went to bed... Woke up late the next day, ate lunch, tried to see my family again, they weren't home, so I came back to Houston...
Most of last week I spent all my free time looking for a job... Almost to the point of obsession but still nothing... Thursday I ran some last minute errands so that I could leave on Friday...
So Friday I fly to Arkansas and Melly meets me at the airport, she's been there an hour or 2 already, since she left early... We go on the longest drive ever to El Dorado and get lost once we get there... Finally find Heather's house just to find no one home... Call her cell, they're all at the rehearsal, and one of her relatives comes over to guide us there... The we get there in time for the end of the big rehearsal dinner... Dez, and Meg and Kristiana and Christina were all there (they were the bridal party they kinda had to be... :0) ). Heather's dad is still convinced I'm JP... Umm, ok, you're known me how many years now?!?!? Chuck was there too as was Craig and Amanda Y. too... Chuck was an usher and Craig was the best man... James was the other usher but he didn't come till Saturday... So anyway Friday night, the girls get together at Meg's hotel room and Dez has hired a stripper... Young, semi buff, bleached blond, almost (wink wink) completely shaved... He was dressed like a cowboy and I thought he looked ok but I wasn't attracted to him in the least... Hence the reason I tried to avoid every lap dance possible (though I did get stuck with 2 or 3 - found out there was no sock in his g string). He seemed like a beginner, he was very awkard at first, movements and attitude wise...( for those who want to see what he looks like... http://flickr.com/photos/49503057804@N01/ ).So anyway we're drinking the the stripper is doing his thing... The night goes on and he leaves... Ms Ball and Amanda Y come back up (theyd been visiting downstairs since they didn't want to participate). And we all leave Meg and her mom to go to bed... Amanda goes back to her hotel and Christina goes home, and the rest of us go to Heather's house since we're all staying there... We stay up visiting till almost 2 and go to bed... About 315 am my cell rings (its right by my head since I put the alarm on) and who do I see calling me? Gage. Who I think may have a death wish for daring to call me that late... I slept like crap the rest of the night but he finally explained to me last night that he'd been trying to call Ali Nicole... Anyway we all wake up early and get ready and go to the church... Heather's mom and grandmother both stayed up all night working on the gown and the dresses for the bridal party.... Wow... Whodathunk older ladies could pull all nighters? Not I for sure.....We spend a few hours getting the chapel and stuff ready then another hour or so getting everyone ready... The wedding still happened almost 15 minutes late which I've heard is normal... It was very pretty, the groom cried when the bride walked up, the bride cried too... Zuri and Rashaun showed up late too... The reception went on afterwards, and I served ice cream as I promised I would.. Though I didn't realize the ice cream was the CAKE until I got to the reception... Yeah they were melting since the hall had no AC and had been sitting out during the ceremony... So it all winds down about 4 ish... Heather felt ill so we all went back to her house, me, Melly, Heather, Chuck, Dez, Craig, Katari, and Meg (eventually she showed up). We all changed clothes and Heather started opening presents. We spent most of the early evening doing that and making sure the cards for each gift said who they were from and what they gave... Then we all went out to dinner and to the hotel where Dez/Craig and Heather/Katari were staying... We wound up watching the Whole 10 Yards, which I fell asleep during... Melly and I went back to Heathers about 1 ish... We immediately go to bed. We wake up about 8 or 9 and get ready to go... By 10 we're on the road back to Little Rock. I make my flight with time to spare and the plane was early (WTF!?!?!). I get home about 4 and I do nothing since I'm so tired... I go back out to Hobby at 9 to pick mom up... I almost cried when the rent a cop told me I had to circle the airport since i couldn't just sit there waiting for mom... I was just that tired... We get home and visit (Lauren and Lindsay were both here making cookies). About 11 or so I crash... Hard. I woke up at 11, only because Lauren came in and was playing on the computer... I ran some errands today but I still haven't unpacked...
Oh yea I forgot the great part... I came back yesterday and the 2nd floor AC isn't working, so the repair guy is coming bewteen 11 and 2 tommorrow. So all the fans are going full blast and I'm just glad the 3rd floor unit still works!!!!
Ok I don't think I forgot anything... And I have to go clean the kitchen anyway.... So laters!!!!
