Feeling Old
I just checked the website and saw the cast lists. Congrats to all of you!! Not gonna lie though, definitely did feel a twinge in my heart when I realized that I don't know half of the casts and I'm not a part of VUT anymore. | | Wednesday, January 26th, 2005 | | 1:49 pm |
Going out of my mind. Current Mood:  depressed | | Saturday, December 25th, 2004 | | 6:00 pm |
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! I'm at the hotel by myself tonight until 11:00...it's so quiet here, there are only about twentyfive rooms in house (we have 157) so I'm bored OUT OF MY MIND but ah well, it has afforded me much time to play with my Christmas presents, and really, who can complain about that, eh? I FINALLY got a digital camera, oodles of gift certificates, and lots and lots of CDs so I'm a happy girl. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and I hope y'all have a happy and safe rest of break! Oh and HAAS - I left you a voicemail re: a hotel room for your mom and dad the second weekend of Barber - please please please let me know ASAP if they need more than one room, what room types, and the length of stays cause I got the sales department to lift group blocks for a few days for me to make them. Current Mood:  calmCurrent Music: none, it's SOOOOOOOOOO quiet here | | Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004 | | 11:51 pm |
Amen.
Thank you Kira and Ellie and Jay! Perfectly stated. Speaking from my personal stance, I am a Republican though a socially liberal one. I don't ask that anyone agree with me, that's not my right to ask that. Personal views are just that: personal. And though I love each and every one of you who has said something to the effect that Conservatives are evil or categorized us all as Fascists, religious right wing extremists, I'm not sure I completely consider you my friend because you obviously do not respect my right to my own personal views. So I'm going to sit back and let the political propaganda die down and emotions to calm. In that time, I'm not going to ask anyone to change their views, maybe the rhetoric about them, but nothing else. I ask for that same right in return. | | Sunday, October 17th, 2004 | | 12:16 am |
It has to end. It does.
Well, friends and neighbors, this has definitely been among one of the most difficult weeks of my entire life. I am so incredibly drained right now that I can't think of doing anything but going out to a bar and chilling or sleeping. I have attended two funerals for family members (not immediate, but close enough to me to be emotionally draining) in the last three days. One on Wednesday night and one today. I am terrified every time my phone rings now cause it seems like it's "so and so died about an hour ago" or "the funeral arrangements have been made" or "are you ready to go cause the funeral starts in two hours" AHHHHHHHHHH. I really need to destress right now and I don't know if I can cause I have so much work still due and that I'm trying to get caught up on cause I was gone for a day and a half (for one of the funerals) during MIDTERMS. I am going to go curl up in my bed with some homework and pretend that everything is fine cause otherwise, I think I might just cry. Although, as a sidenote, this is just a story that I'd like to share. My "grandmother"'s last words were my uncle's name and his brother's name, screaming for them. Her death was expected, we've all been waiting for it. My great-aunt Dorothy Sue's death was completely unexpected, she was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday for heart problems and scheduled for surgery on Thursday; they thought she'd make it through just fine and she died on the table. Her last words: "It's ok. Let it end." The one who knew she was going to die still screamed people's names and the one who thought she'd live was at peace. Please, God, when it's my time, let me be at peace and be able to say "it's ok. Let it end." Current Mood:  drainedCurrent Music: Beulah Land | | Wednesday, September 1st, 2004 | | 9:23 pm |
Zell Miller is my new hero. | | Saturday, August 28th, 2004 | | 7:31 pm |
I would just like to say
that regarding the "You Know You're From Nashville When..." meme, there are only two on the whole damn list that are not completely applicable to my life. See Laura's post for the whole meme, I don't feel like doing a cut and it's pointless to clog up y'all's friends pages again since only like three of you are not on hers as well. The two that do not apply "you own the boots but can't ride a horse" and "no one around you is a native nashvillian either". Thank you, I do own the boots AND can ride the horse and I am a native Nashvillian. Although it is true that very very few people around me are. Everybody who comes in the hotel gets SOOOOO excited when they find out that I'm actually from here cause they'll stay a week and be like "I still haven't met a native Nashvillian." I'm just sayin. I was surprised that "it's pronounced nash-vull, lou-uh-vull" or our weird street pronounciations weren't on there though.

Because Haas told me to
So. I have a job. I have a job that pays $8 an hour, 40 hours a week. I have a job that I love and that I'm really really good at. I'm a desk clerk/concierge at the Hampton Inn right behind my apartment. Here's a list of my favorite things: a) the people. notably Jeff, Joe, Angie, Rhondylle, Lawanda, Jessica, Casey, and Bob. They are fantastic. b) when we called security to kill a spider in a guest's room c) when a guest straight up propositioned me at the front desk and Jeff couldn't figure out whether to kick his ass or laugh d) talking to people all the freaking time e) the really fun atmosphere where everyone's laid back and easy going f) how Casey gets really mad but not... g) the fact that I look forward to going to work EVERY SINGLE DAY h) the fact that I'm travelling to a concert with Jeff...that he likes Waylon and Ragweed and Willie and everybody worth caring about i) the "FYI Song/Rhondylle" dance (Rhondylle's two fav. sayings are 1) FYI! and 2) "I got two kids and places to go!" and she stomps her right foot on "places to go" so we made a song and dance routine) j) Angie's fishy face cause she knows I'm scared of fish k) Jeff's smiling sarcasm and Joe's deadpan sarcasm - both exquisite l) the fact that I can talk to everybody about something - Jeff = music, Joe = Vandy, Angie = baseball and guys, Rhondylle = things that go wrong, Jessica = whatever's on Jessica's mind at the moment. it's beautiful. m) the fact that my job has provided me with ways to be a pretty bad girl recently n) the whole damn job. :) Current Mood: happyCurrent Music: Revolution - Beatles | | Friday, July 23rd, 2004 | | 9:37 pm |
I HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER!!!! WITH REALLY REALLY GREAT PEOPLE!!!! | | Saturday, July 17th, 2004 | | 9:15 am |
So. Um.
Ellie and I are going to be on Reckless Kelly's website? I almost passed out simply from seeing them in the room? Willy Braun (a.k.a. the hottest thing in...well...anywhere) said something kinda hot to me? Elizabeth Pollard told me not to be vulgar in reference to one very good looking frontman? They played four songs from Millican which you CAN'T even FIND ANYWHERE? There was no merch? I made a poster...and it got us a picture with them...on their camera...and they signed it? We drove to Harrogate where we passed: a mailbox for the Hatfields, a live nativity scene in the middle of July, about eight tractors, and crops that we're not even sure what they are? Again, we drove to Harrogate...(Harrogate?!?!?!)? I freaked the band out? I didn't get to fuck or suck any of them? THEY WERE SOBER???? Still working through the details of last night in my mind... I do however know that all goals except #2 were achieved. Current Mood:  bouncyCurrent Music: a bunch of loud ass machinery outside | | Monday, July 12th, 2004 | | 10:29 am |

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!
First, thank yous: Thank yous to Ellie and Ryan for spending my birthday with me and putting up with me randomly purring that it's my birthday. And also for my really awesome gifts - a bracelet, a Waylon CD, a Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaimon book and an Audrey book respectively. And also my dinner. And also chipping in on the carriage ride. Thank you to Zach for the GORGEOUS necklace which I wore out tonight, I might add. Thank you to Haas for the delightful e-card! Thank yous to Seth, Haas, and Diana for the livejournal mentions! and Thank yous to Seth, Steve, Lilla, and Zach for the phone calls! (Steve's at midnight, no less!!!!) This was my best birthday ever. As long as I can remember, my birthdays have been a source of constant turmoil and other horrid things but this is the first time that I've been completely happy the whole day long. My mommy and I went to the zoo today (so cool!!!!!!!! phants!!!! monkeys!!! meerkats!!! sheep!) and we had lunch at Chez Jose. I also talked to my entire family at one point or another today. Then, after I spent my usual two hours getting ready to go out, we hit downtown in the Nash. We ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory where we had the coolest bartender, coolest waiter, and coolest waiter turned photographer EVER! And. You guys. I DRANK. (!!!!!!!!!) I drank a little bit of Jack & Coke but I didn't like it very much so I only drank a tiny bit...BUT THEN. The bartender made me an Absolut refresher. I drank the whole damn thing in less than a minute. Then we went to the table. And I got another one. And drank it what Ryan swears was less than five seconds. So when I got up to go to the bathroom, I stopped at the bar on the way back and got another one! And then Ellie took that away from me for awhile cause I was drinking that one really quickly too. And then I stood up. WOW. Then a really random guy stopped me on the street and sucked my toe and that was strange and then we took a carriage ride and then I opened presents. I am still pretty tipsy. So I'm gonna go drink some water and whatnot and try to resume my sobriety. Night night. Current Mood:  drunkCurrent Music: I'm not really drunk, I'm just tipsy but that's not one | | Sunday, July 4th, 2004 | | 11:10 am |
YAY!!!
I got all my classes for the fall!!! This makes me extraordinarily happy cause I really wasn't sure what I was gonna do if I didn't - I have to have all these classes and all the ones that I've picked out for spring semester to graduate (good lord that's a scary word) with my assorted goodie bag of degrees! The downside is that other than Scenic and Theatre Management (which I'm actually auditing) there's only one class that another VUTer is in (Witt's in one of my PSCI classes). Oh well, that's to be expected, not many of the VUT crowd live for politics. :) P.S. - my birthday is Thursday! Current Mood: happyCurrent Music: none cause I don't wanna wake up Ryan | | Thursday, July 1st, 2004 | | 3:32 pm |
Announcement
My birthday is one week from today. My 21st is one week from today. That is all. | | Tuesday, June 29th, 2004 | | 8:09 pm |
Warning: This entry is to let me vent.
I'm so conflicted right now and I hate it. I can't stand feeling
worthless like I'm not helping anybody and there's so much that I want
to do that I can't. I can't find a job and I really need a job and I'm
really getting desperate and I AM looking for one but I can't find it
and it's driving me crazy knowing that I'm sitting at home and not
helping anybody do anything and that I'm not making any money and
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. It's just a bad time right now cause it's close to
my birthday and my birthdays are never a good time, there's just too
much history behind them and I crave my friends being here and I can
never have that cause my fucking birthday is in July and this year, I'm
fortunate enough to have Ellie here but I'm selfish and I wish
everybody was here and we could all go to Sunset or Las Palmas or
Bosco's or anywhere and I could sit and watch y'all all drink and be
silly and be you and I want to hear my friends say "Happy 21st Jenn"
and damn it. I need a job cause I need to help my parents pay my rent
and I have to pay my bills and there's some expensive things that I
really honestly need right now and my parents can't afford them and
neither can I and I think I'm going to panic. I know it will all go
away and I'll be happy and carefree and less focused on me cause I'm
not that person anymore but right now I hate this and I hate myself.
I'll be so happy when school starts again and I have less time to think
and beat myself up.
Also, Aunt Glen is in the hospital again for an operation on her legs
that had to be moved up a month so if y'all could keep that in mind. Current Mood: depressedCurrent Music: The Real World on MTV | | Monday, June 28th, 2004 | | 9:14 pm |
For those of you in/around Cincinnati:
If you go to King's Island this summer, in one of the shows that is a mixture of all kinds of different music (I'm sorry, I have no clue on the name of it), my friend David is dancing. He's incredible and if y'all go see it, you have to tell me how it is! I know at Opryland they listed the performers outside the venue - maybe they do that at King's Island too? Please please please if you go, find this show and watch it cause I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it up there to see it but I'm so proud of him. | | Saturday, June 26th, 2004 | | 10:17 pm |

Attention, please
It is now exactly two weeks until my birthday (I'll make it easy, that's July 8). Plan card/gift sending accordingly. :) Actually, if you'd just send cards, I'd be ecstatic. That's all really. Thank you for your attention. Updates will follow at the one week, five days, three days, and day of markers. Current Mood:  energeticCurrent Music: the noise outside/Ryan on her phone |
