Countdowns

During most of the school yeah I was so set on going to the The Art Institute of Washington DC for graphic design. I use to want to focus on both web and graphic design but, I’ve realized that I do love web design but I love graphic design more. I really only like web design when I’m coding things for myself but, with graphic design, I can do it more easily for others.

Unfortunately though, I have a harder time with graphic design in general because I’m just not really creative or artistic. I can’t just sit down with a piece of paper and just draw something. It takes me forever when I make a theme for my own website.

After awhile, I decided I didn’t want to go away to a university right away and I wanted to stay within driving distance of home. I decided that I would go to a local community college then switch to a local university that has a really good graphic design program.

I have yet to sign up for classes at the local college and it starts in two weeks. Honestly though, I’m not worried about it. I was talking to my mom and aunt today about it just as conversation and decided for sure that I was going to take off a year of school and just work.

I figure this will give me time to decide what I want to school for sure. There are a whole lot of things that I enjoy doing and, like everyone else, wanted to do with the rest of my life.

I feel so much better about all this now. Especially because I’ve been so worried about college, with all the stress and work. It’s feels good to know that isn’t going to be on my list anytime soon.

Now before I start with this blog I’m not going to mention actual names. Not for the reason that I think the people will come across it, because honestly, I don’t care. It’s just the fact of it doesn’t actually have to do with me personally, just after I tell you this story, it’s something common now a days that I can’t stand.

One of my friends, we’ll call her Casey, was dating a guy a few years ago and they were together for about two and a half years. They went through a lot and he was still there, like when she had cheated on him. After the fact, she realized what she did and wished it hadn’t happened.

Now I know the saying “once a cheater, always a cheater” and I use to be a strong believer in that but, I’m also a strong believer in “you learn from your mistakes.” It’s one of those things you do knowing it’s wrong but, you do it anyway and then realize you shouldn’t have done it. This was one of those cases.

Anyway, Casey and the guy she was dating, who we’ll call Drew, recently got back together. Well, before they did, he ended up dating an old friend of Casey and mine’s, who we’ll call Edna. Edna‘s long time broke up with her before she and Drew got together.

She was hanging out with her ex boyfriend a lot when she and Drew were dating and eventually Drew told her to choose and she ended up choosing her ex. Then Drew and Casey back together.

What is funny though, is that Edna is so jealous about this that she got her best friend, who we’ll call Sue to start texting and calling both Drew and Casey and harassing them. There was this whole big there where finally Casey told them they either shut their mouths or she would make sure they couldn’t open them anymore.

What do they do? Edna start posting myspace status updates about how she feels sorry for him and that Casey is a heiffer and all these other immature things while Sue leaves comments on them adding to it.

I just can’t stand when girls are all talk online and over the phone but, in reality they are chicken. And that they are so bored with their own lives that this have to get involved in other peoples. Like Sue and contacting the people that Casey was dating after she and Drew broke up, telling the guys that they were stupid to be with her and calling Casey a slut and stuff.

I really can’t stand girls sometimes. Maybe that’s why I don’t have many close friends and when I do, we eventually drift apart. I just can’t stand things girls do or how they can act. So hypocritical, calling people sluts and whores and stuff when it’s really them that is all of that stuff they just need to make themselves feel better.

I have been working on this theme for like two weeks on and off and finally finished it. I wanted to go for a scrapbook theme and at first I didn’t think I was going to put pictures on it because I didn’t know what pictures I could use. I was taking pictures off my camera since I haven’t cleaned off my card in awhile and I had my prom pictures on there so I thought they were perfect.

I finished this theme earlier and pushed myself to code it because I was feeling lazy and after I did that, I figured why not validate the coding and CSS? So I did. It actually didn’t take me that long. A lot of the errors were caused by one thing and most of the time something little and stupid. I’m proud of myself.

I ended up ordering the 32 gb iPod Touch and I love it! I’m addicted to it. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks now or so and I’m always using it. Most of the apps I have are free except for a few here and there. I also bought some songs on itunes.

I found out a few days ago that someone I knew, well, kind of because we only talked a few times, died about a week ago. She was sick with Swine Flu and Pneumonia. Alone they are both deadly so they were surprised that she fought through a week. Not only that though, she also had Osteogenesis Imperfecta like I do and it can make people have respiratory problems early in life anyway. It’s very said though especially since she was only 20.

About two years ago I wanted to learn to play the guitar and I tried forever to teach myself but, just didn’t have the patients and gave up. As of about nine months ago or so my brother and cousin ended up picking it up. Recently, because I my brother playing again, I decided to try and give it another go. And what do you know? I got it. My brother helped me a little by teaching me how to read tabs but, that was really all. I love it now.

So lately I’ve have been thinking about whether I should buy myself an iPod Touch or iTouch as some people refer to it. I’ve always heard that if you’re going to get an iPod Touch, you might as well get the iPhone because they are mostly the same thing except the iPod Touch doesn’t allow you to make calls. I’ve stuck by that.

Thing is, for awhile I did want an iPhone, but thing is I’m a heavy texter and I like having the physical keyboard to text with. I had the LG Dare from Verizon for a few months and then I ended up getting the new LG enV Touch, also for Verizon , recently. I want to able to get all the different applications and what not that the iPhone/Touch has.

So what I want to know is, is it worth the $400 (if I got it I would get the 32 GB)? I have like an 80 GB Zune at the moment and I haven’t even filled up half of it. I probably would us the iPod Touch for music but I would focus on the application. They seem to have so many cool ones and I’d love to have it for when I’m bored.

A few weeks ago was senior week and I’m not sure how many of you might know what that is. I’ll tell you so this all makes more sense. Basically, all the people who just graduated go away to the beach, in our case (as in my city and others around us), Ocean City, Maryland. Most of the time is all the partying and drinking and what not. Not everyone goes to party but, most do.

Well, my friend Lisa went with a few of her friends (I didn’t go to senior week by the way) and on of her friends mom was with them, and they had a van they were all riding it because it was like five people total. And on they’re way to the boardwalk, they saw another van and in it was this guy and he kept mouthing and signaling “call me”. All the girls in my friends van started flashing numbers at him but it was too many that he just flashed his number to them. Lisa texted him a little while there and like he started asking if she sent naked pictures. She of course was like “What the hell?”

She stopped talking to him but, still had his number. She was over last night and we were bored and decided to text him from my phone and we were like “Hey sexy. Do you still send naked pictures?” and he was like “Who is this?” and we were like “Remember about a month ago in Ocean City, that van that was flashing you numbers?” He was like “Sure” and we said “I was in that van.” and so we started to mess with him and what not. And he was like “Send me a picture of you” and so we sent one of our friend Erica (use to be my best friend but has completely blown me off and I’m done with her). He was interested and was like “What’s your name?” We gave him her first and last name and he asked how old so we said 18. he was like “Well I’m sixteen.” And guys, here it is legal to be with someone over the age of 18 when you are sixteen.

We told him that didn’t matter as long as he was good in bed. He said he’s been told that he was a few times. So we continued to mess with when he asked what kind of picture. We said “Take a guess and hopefully your right.” And he said one. I was like “I’m scared to open it. I don’t want to see his penis!” So she was like “I’ll look and tell you.” So we opened it and she was like “Oh my God! It is! Hand too!“

When he asked for a picture back, he had sent Lisa a picture of himself when they started talking, so we sent that to him. And he was like “No, a picture of you.” I swear this kid must be retarded for not realizing the picture was a picture of him. So we were like “That’s my boyfriend. Isn’t he hot? But he isn’t great in bed.” And he was like “What the hell?” then we said something to him but I can’t remember and then he never texted back. Either he gave up on “me” or just figured out he was being messed with. Or fell asleep. Who knows. But it was pretty hilarious.
