Current Mood: amused
I totally forgot that I had one of these!!! So much has happened in over a year!!

Let's see, I broke up with Marc and then dated Chris and then just broke up with Chris yesterday. 

I am back at Oakland University and living on campus. It is a lot of fun especially when I am with all of my friends having a blast. I have started going to the gym that I am paying for here. I have learned that I am really out of shape. It is kinda sad so now I have to go every day so I can start to be toned and stuff haha 

Well, this was just a little update!! love you all who still have this.

Current Music: "I gotta new girlfriend" funny song!!!
Wow, I have not updated this in a long time.

Oakland University. It is ok. It could be better. My teachers are cool except my rhetoric teacher is almost 90 and she's senial. No joke, she reads right out of the book and she tells us girls to have many boyfriends because it is more fun that way. She is very knowledgable and got to meet a lot of interesting people though. School is kicking my booty. There is a lot of homework but it keeps me busy and what not so i cannot complain too much. Right now I am writing a paper on Voltaire's Candide. It was a really good book and I enjoyed it. Although, I do not enjoy writing a 6-8 page paper on it because right now I'm only at 1.2 pages!! whoops (I should work on that!!) Oh yes, by the way, Thanks Christopher Manzer!!! You are a life saver. I keep on changing the format of my paper and it is not all that great but I used your ideas (or at least I think it was what you told me!)

I went to a wedding on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. It was raining and cold but we made the best out of the situation. Marc and I got to show everyone our swing dancing moves and it was fantastic. We are on their wedding video a lot we have come to figure out.

I got to go to school last week and visit some people!!! I miss my buddies. Scottie, Melanie, Amanda, Jessica, Caitlin, Julie, Karolyn...there are way too many underclassman friends that I have!!! haha I brought them McDonalds and made them happy.

Tuesday I went to Wayne State to visit Marc. Wayne State's campus is beautiful. I was surprised at how spectacular it actually is. If I would have to transfer one day to a college I would probably go there just because of all the historical buildings and history behind everything.

Amy and I drive to Oakland together monday, wednesday and friday. My new phrase is... " Can't rape the willing!!!" hahaha AMAN... woohoo! ok it's a long story that should not be looked into! Let's just say Amy and I should not get together late at night.

This weekend should be fun other than me doing my paper. Marc is coming home and all of us may go to the Applefest. I do not know yet, depends on how much homework Marc has. I miss that boy. :( yes, I turned into a hopeless romantic. well, f-you sucka!!! (long story where that phrase came from also!)

Ok, this has turned out to be a very long entry! whoops, oh well I am over it.

Call me if you wanna do something in 2 weeks because I think I will be settled with everything by then.

Current Mood: gloomy
It is amazing that my father can tell me how much of a failure I am and I cannot stay mad at him for that long.
I realize that I have messed up big time with my car accident 3 months ago. I know you are too old to be doing this. I know I screw up all the time. I know there is no way to make him proud except what I do in my school work. He does not want me to have friends or have fun and be around kids my age.

Ughh I should move away.

I wish I could move away.

I love Amy and all and I'm happy that I get to spend time with her driving to school every other day. But, my dad is driving me nuts. He is old and does not understand our way of thinking. Sometimes I wonder if he is even in the same world as I am. Oh, well. I think I may move into dorms in the Winter or Spring semester.

Please help!? What should I do!?!?!?

<3Amanda**

One good thing in life is that Marc gets to come up to my cottage!!! I love hanging out with that boy! I don't know what I would have done without him this summer! He has listened to me and made me happy and made me realize that I cannot please everyone in what I do. Thanks!!

Sorry, I just vented big time!!!

This week has been a blast!!!

Last Saturday I went to Michigan Adventures and I rode on the RIPCORD!!!! It was 18 stories high!! Although, it was a lot of fun. And I did not get home until around 3 a.m.

The Rents left for a whole week and I took advantage of it!!

I got a moody new laptop. There is something wrong with it and I have no idea what. I think the cords may not be working because it flashes the battery but I have everything plugged in correctly to charge the battery and it still will not work. Also, the mouse is a little moody and the printer all of a sudden stopped working too. I think it has problems. That is why I figured out it was called a girl.

I went shopping for the first time in a long time and got lots of clothes and 2 pair of shoes and I love them!!

Friday was Badmitton night at Amy's house for Luminosity and it was fun. Amy and I beat Eric and Marc at badmitton. Also, at all the other games too!! We didn't leave there until around 1 in the morning!!!

Yesterday, Saturday, was a fun day too. I went to Phil's graduation dinner which had yummy food. And then Marc and I proceeded home to go to the IMAX!!! On the way I saw where he used to live and all that goes along with it. We saw Ant Bully in the IMAX and it was a really good movie with cool 3-D. After that we went to Bankok 96. Now that is some good Thai food! I never had it before and even the broccli tasted good!! We got home and played games...which i totally won! and didn't leave until 3 a.m.

I have come to the conclusion that I do not get to sleep early enough. I haven't been waking up early except for when I have to work at 11! But, this week I only have to work monday 11-7 and then saturday, sunday, monday 11-7 and then I'm off for 2 weeks! woohoo!!! But, I need the money. Oh well!!

So, this is longer than I intended it to be. I need to go clean up the house before the parents come home today...yay! I guess!

So, the past couple of days have been a blast!!Actually, this summer has been going better than I planned it out to be! Lately I have hung out with Marc, Amy and Eric. It is a blast!! I love those guys no matter what we do. I'm a little sad for the summer to be coming to an end. I know it must, but I will miss all of my friends going away to college. So, I guess I will update you on my life!!!

Last weekend I worked and moved my sister out of her apartment.

This week has been VBS. I was supposed to do motions but I only got around to do 2 of the days.

Tuesday was a softball game and we went to Mcdonalds afterwards. "They used oars in close combat, Amanda!" Thanks a lot guys!

Wednesday I was called into work and then afterwards I helped my mom move stuff from my sister's apartment.

Thursday I moved boxes and furniture for the morning and then my mom, brother, Marc and I all went to Silver Lake Beach to swim after a long, hard day of work. After that Marc and I met up with Amy and Eric and went to the demolition derby which was a blast!!! Pastor Jim won his heat!!!!! Although, it started to rain and thunderstorm and we were drenched. There was not a single part of us dry. We went back to Erics house and wore his clothes (Marc said I looked like a thug. HA!) We watched "The Longest Yard" and got home around midnight.

Friday (last night) Marc, Tommy and I surprised Amy with medecine and food to make her feel better. We proceeded to Eric's house later that night and helped him with his car. We watched the end of "The Longest Yard" and Amy and I went to the store twice. Later on that night we watched the beginning of "Failure To Launch" and did not get home until around midnight again!

Saturday (today) I did chores well pretended to do chores and I am going to the bank, summer bash, and Eric's race!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!

If I have time I will talk about it later!! but this is long enough for now!

Love always&forever

Thank you cards are a pain. Honestly, the thought is nice but come on now! I went to Oakland University with Amy today. It was fun but we basiclly hung out and went shopping! I miss that girl so much!

Work has been keeping me hectic but I have tomorrow off so I'm excited.

Parents are gone until sunday!!woohoo!!

I really need to stop doing this to myself. It always happens and I really need to not think about anything right now. Life always seem to be going as planned and something kinda interrupts everything. Ugh, oh well. Life goes on.

I'm almost done reading 1984. It is a good book. I have enjoyed it quite honestly. The story lines makes you think deeply abotu society. I love George Orwell. He is amazing!!

Well, I'm off.

My mom needs to stop. I'm 18, I can make my own decisions. She thinks I am some wild child who parties and gets drunk every night! geesh!

So, going to bed at 4 a.m. and working all the next day is not the best decision I have made in a while but I still had a blast.


Happy (almost) 4th of July!!!

I have to work 4-7 but beforehand I am going to Marc's cottage, which means I get to ride the jetskis! sweet!

PArents going to be gone again soon...yes!! I mean...

Christian's back!!! We saw The Omen=creepy. It was scary in some parts and I only jumped twice! woohoo!!


Off to work again!

So. Haven't updated this in a while.

Went to Beth's open house with Melanie and we proceeded to go to Scott's house and we ended up staying there for around 2 hours playing with his little brothers and sister. I got to feed Jeremy! he is the cutest little boy i have ever seen!! Then we went back to her open house and ate lots of food and ended up watching high school musical.

Went to Stef and Chris' Open House. It was a blast. We went to Borders and the mall and got smoothies. Oh man Lyndsay..."what is that!? should we ask!? you do it. i'm scared." haha O yea and Christopher is mean! He shoved me away from the car door so I had to sit in the back. I got to talk to Lauren. I miss you, hun!

I started going with Thresa to this new bible study and I absoltly love it!!! I love how it's put together and everything and plus we have it in Mcdonalds so we get breakfast also! yummy!

Went up north with the family (mom and brother) I bought all the parts to my car and now we have to put it back together. I'm so excited to have my baby back!!! And we saw the movie CARS! It is such a cute movie and I love it so much!

Thursday I went with Dan, formerly known as Mr. Schneider, to Oakland University with Adrienne, Arminda, Emily, Amber and Aaron. It was a blast! We almost got into about 3 accidents but we were ok. (no i was not driving!!!) And we ate good food and got water guns from Dan and when we went to Matt's open house we squirted everyone. We played volleyball forever!!! It was so much fun and our team was amazing!!! **Dan, Zack, Julie, Kody and I are amzing** By the way Kody now calls me his baby and says that he loves me. kinda freaked me out but that kid cracks me up!

Today I have to work 4-7 but I'm going to a party afterwards!! woohoo I'm so excited to see my Amy and possibly play badmitton...i have a feeling i may be bad at this game!!

Hopefully I will be able to make it to all the open houses tomorrow! There are so many and i wanna stay at like 3 of them for a long time...It is the time to bat my eyes at my mom and dad and tell them how much i love them... then maybe they'll let me use the car!! woohoo!!

Sunday is graduation sunday at church and i really hope matt can work for me cuz i really want to go and it's the last time i will see Stef!! :( That is unless we end up taking a road trip up there (actually i have a feeling that's already planned and i'm always the last one to know about it!!)

Well I think I shall be going now!!

I hate life.

Don't you love how one lil mishap happens in your life and everything else seems to fall apart.

My parents feel i'm a selfish little spoiled brat who doesn't have any concept on life. They wish that I would grow up and face reality. They do not care if I do not have friends, they don't care if i am stuck at home for the summer, they do not care if i never talk to my friends again. They feel i'm living in a world revolving around myself. I'm the only one they will yell it, scream at, torture, torment, lecture. They do not care.

I wish I could just go away. I wish I could turn back time. I wish I was the perfect little girl they want me to be. They are fake.

Well. That's life. Take it or leave it. I guess I am an imature little spoiled brat who only cares about myself. I'll have to work on that.

Hope Exams are going well.

I'm peacing out!

Where would I be without scott!? o man. Thank you even though you will probably never read this. Thanks for everything.

And here is something to make you all smile!


Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting, no fighting

Shakira, Shakira

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I`m on tonight
You know my hips don`t lie
And I`m starting to feel it`s right
All the attraction, the tension
Don`t you see baby, this is perfection

Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it`s driving me crazy
And I didn`t have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing

And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I`m on tonight
You know my hips don`t lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don`t you see baby asi es perfecto

Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don`t lie
And I am starting to feel it`s right
All the attraction, the tension
Don`t you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira

Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don`t, don`t really know what I`m doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can`t so you know
That`s a bit too hard to explain

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

Senorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia

Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así

Yeah
She`s so sexy every man`s fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when `pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain`t guilty, it`s a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas `cause we own our own boats

I`m on tonight, my hips don`t lie
And I`m starting to feel you boy
Come on let`s go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto

Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don`t lie
And I am starting to feel it`s right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fighting
No fighting



Long song...I LOVE IT!!!

Current Mood: excited for my new 3 jobs!!!
Oh my goodness!!! I'm SOOO EXCITED!!!

I Have 3 jobs this summer!!!

I will babysit these kids that go to Carmen Ainsworth Schools. It's a 14 year old boy a 10 year old boy or girl and a 7 year old boy or girl. I'm not sure the sex of the two younger ones. All i know is that one of them is a girl! And all i would do is drive them to their activity, lay out in the sun, read a book, take them home, watch TV, Eat Food! So I would work there from around 8-2:30

THEN...There will be random weekdays that i will work at Fenton Extended care from 4-7 and weekends 11-7!

AND THEN!!! I'll be watching my little brother two or three days out of the week (in which, he will tag along with me) and my mom is paying me around $20-$50 for everyday! And the lady pays $8.50 an hour including a gas card every 2 weeks or so. AND at my original work i will be getting $8.20-8.40 an hour depending what hours. So, I'm really exicted!!

Some people say that I will have no life outside of work but if you look at it this way... I'll have an abundant amount of money coming into my account, I get off from work at either 2:30 or 7, and i'll be payed to lay out in the sun reading books and baking brownies and cookies...big surprise there, huh?

I have a feeling that I'll get along well with the 14 year old boy. Cuz I mean Scott is 15 and he's one of my best friends so it wouldn't be different; would it?? O well! And i'm so excited to see what they are like!! And if they had DDR, it would be beautiful!! haha

Well, I'm off to go to homework!! Exciting life i lead, eh?

Salute*Moi

*MORE* My brother is picking out my outfit for his concert tonight and i'm picking out his!! I dunno why i am so excited about this, i just wanna see what he chooses!!

Later days!

Then we went to VGs and got Caitlin's bday present and then went back to her house and wrapped it (adrienne said she lost her cell phone so we went to beth's house two times and searched my car for it, it ended up being in her bag the whole time... hahaha) Then we went to caitlin's bday party! It was so much fun!! Adrienne and I suck at pool and darts, BUT Julie and I played on the swing set and i well pole danced...yea, it's a long long story!!! Then I went to see Lyndsay's play which she did amazing in!!! I loved it and then we went to Red Devil's and ate..yummy food!!! And arrived home around 11.45p.m.

I feel like i'm a little fish in the tide... struggling to get out.

One day is wonderful and the next is horrible.
One day people will be nice to me and the next, they hate me.

I know I cannot please everyone, but i wish I could.
I don't like that people feel they can walk all over me.
I wish I could just be everyone's friend.


My life is spinning out of control.

I wish I could take a day off, no time for that.

Sean and i are the best jewish/canadien friends ever that are addicted to coke!!! And Mike is really good At DDR!! whoa buddy! And yea, i failed but i was getting a lot of good's and awesome's ( ok i got a D but still...) And we were gonna seran wrap someones care but it didn't happen!!

SATURDAY**Swing Dance practice...Yea, Eric was whinning. So, it wasn't all that much fun! And I really hope we do better than the dress rehersal cuz that went really bad for eric and i... Anyways! Then I went to Taco Bell with Beth and Rachel I. It was a lot of fun. Anytime with those two is a lot of fun!! We saw this girl with short red flower shorts (hairy legs) and a very large pistons jersy on that you could barely see her shorts. AND she had these gold high heels on! And she couldn't walk in heels. omg it was the funniest thing ever!!! Then after that I picked up melanie and scott and we went to the Easter play at the freedom center and it was very very good! Scott cracks me up with his facial expressions and melanie comforted me! haha it was so sad at some parts!!! Then we went to Mcdonalds...like usual... and got cokes and ice cream. And we're all gonna die at 30 and get mono!!! woohoo! it was so much fun! we saw these flint northwestern track people (and they were all black!!! SWEET!!! I <3 them!!!) and melanie and i talked to them while we were ignoring scott for a minute haha!! and omg melanie they were not hitting on me!!! haha All of us should not drink so much soda and eat so much ice cream cuz we get crazy!!! Then i dropped of scott and melanie. Then I went to a flint generals game with my family and saw JULIE there! she's such a sweetheart. We lost by 1 though so that kinda sucked big time. o well, you win some you loose some. And now i am finally home.

Funny Story**I was talking to melanie on the phone and i got out of my car and went to the track and looked back and was like someone left their car on. how could someone do that? so when beth came she was like amanda your car is still on. I totally left my keys inside my car still running! How does a person do that?? i have no idea!!

Ok well this is offically long!!!
