Yesterday was awesome. I went out to see Zach and Erin. I was greated by Erin who’s face just lit up as I walked into Marshalls. Then I followed Zach for about 5 minutes pulling things off of shelves to get him to turn around, but he never noticed me until I was standing right next to him. Silly silly Zach. 
( yea, I used it, what… ) Erin got off at 5 so we went over to her mom’s work to wait for Zach to get off at 6. After that, Zach and I went to Friday’s to eat and then met up with Erin to figure out what to do next. After Erin and I established that we both wanted banana milkshakes, we then proceeded to decide where we would get one. We just ended up goin’ to the Ice Cream Stand right down the road from Zach’s house and gettin’ something different. I still want one though.
After that we returned to Erin’s house and hung out for a while. [Insert favorite moment] (Too many to choose from).
I can’t wait until Friday. We leave for the beach and it’s going to be so sweet! I haven’t been out to Ocean City for at least a year and that was only for one day. I still haven’t told my mom that I’m going. I’m afraid she’ll tell me no. LOL… I’ve learned over the years that if there is a possibility that mom will say no, don’t ask. That way, when she says you shouldn’t have done it, you can say “But mom, you didn’t say I couldn’t.” Plus, she didn’t even notice the 4 DAYS I was gone this past week!! I get home and she’s like, “are you working this weekend?” to which my reply was “yes, why?”… “oh I was just wondering, I don’t get to see you anymore”… gee mom… I wonder why… MAYBE BECAUSE I’M NOT HERE! LOL… I love my mom… really I do.
Financial situation is down the drain again. I just got ANOTHER overdraft charge. I’m so stupid. I should learn that if I’m not sure how much money is in my account, DON’T CHARGE MORE! Now I have to go and deposit all the money I have and then some. Just so that I can have a positive balance again. I think I’m going to leave all my cards at home. That way I can only pay for stuff with cash and I can see my worth crumbling away. I did get another job though. I’m going to be working at the coffee kiosk at the hospital. It only pays $7/hr but that’s something I can count on, something stable; and it’s full time. I’m going to have to drop Friday’s down to a few shifts and just tell them that it isn’t cuttin’ it. Plus, this way I can have my nights, I would be doin’ 6am – 2.3pm for the coffee thing. Oh well, I suppose I can keep my head above the water for another week or so.
Just finished another jounal design… I feel so proud of myself. I started with mine which I used the style sheets for. Had to get the paid membership to get that, but that wasn’t a big deal. $5 bucks… big whoop. Anywho, I did Zach’s the other night, and I just finished Erin’s. I’m going to get my ass in bed, considering I have to be up at 10. haha… silly silly Chris (yup Zach, said it again !!)

OK, so the past 4 days have been AWESOME, to say the least.
Apparently I can cook… Sunday night I made grilled salmon, marinaded in a ginger sauce, and then for dessert I made fried bananas and strawberry ice cream. Everything tasted so good, if I do say so myself. I couldn’t get everything that I wanted to cook though. Instead of going to a real grocery store, we went to a po-dunk Super Walmart to get everything. I couldn’t find the spice I needed so I settled for just the ground ginger. I forgot to get string beans too, but I was full after the salmon and mashed potatoes, so I don’t think I would have been able to eat them. Later on that night we watched Queen of the Damned. What a great movie. I thought it was going to be scary but it wasn’t. Interresting plot though.
Monday morning was absoultely great. Didn’t roll out of bed until around 3 in the afternoon. LOL. But it’s all good. I went to the Grotto with Zach, then we went to eat at Chi-Chi’s. Not the best choice *cough cough* Zach *cough* lol… just kidding. It was good. Haven’t been there in a while. Anywho, Erin came over that night and we did some drinking. Erin called her mom and told her that she was spending the night and actually managed to hold a conversation with her mom while she was drunk. LOL. I got pretty tipsy, and Zach only had a small buzz. Erin decided that it was best if she just slept by the toilet, lol, but we eventually moved her into Zach’s bed. Good times.
Tuesday was a lot of running around. Thanks Zach for coming with me. I had to get bloodwork done, pick up my paycheck, and stop by work. So we spent most of the day in Baltimore. Tuesday night we watched Angel Eyes and then got some sleep. Unfortunately I had to go back to work today, even though I didn’t take one table it was still a pain. Tomorrow, though, I will be there all day and night. I just hope I make a decent amount of money. I really need it.

Wow… today was something… I’m not really sure of how to feel. I’m nervous about Sunday, yet I’m also excited because I get to cook for Zach. I’m still very worried about my financial situation, but I think it’ll all work out. Heather lent me $50, out of her pocket, to get my checking account back into the positive after I asked her if I could get an advance on my paycheck. OUT OF HER POCKET! I couldn’t believe it! I tried to refuse but she wouldn’t let me leave until I accepted. I am so thankful to have a manager and a friend like her. AND on top of it, she gave me this AWESOME dinner to make for Zach and myself this Sunday. I cannot wait to do this.
What else…. hmm… oh, yea, mom decided to hold back on sending the loan papers for my courses until I pay her for car insurance. Of course I agree that I need to pay her, but I just don’t have it right now. Last time she just put the shit on her credit card and I payed it every month and then when it was paid, I took responsibility for the finance charges which had accured on it. I just don’t understand why she can’t do that this time too. She knows I’m having a difficult time right now and it feels like she just wants to make it worse. Ugh!
Well, since I’m strapped for cash, I should get to bed so I can wake up and go in tomorrow morning and pick up a shift before my shift tomorrow night. G’night all…
Jul 18
Well I just feel a whole lot better. I just saw my paycheck online and it is such a relief financially. After stressing over a whole bunch of crap with mom this morning about my car insurance and this loan we’re taking out for school, it’s nice to see that I am getting back on my feet. Hopefully I make good money tonight.
Last night was a blast, yet again. I went out to see Zach and Co. which was great. Now I have to go a whole two days without seeing them and it’s going to kill me. I’m going to go through withdrawl… and I’m sure the uncontrollable laughter was a great send off to Zach. 
Sorry about that Zach. Hehe…. Anywho, I had better start getting ready for work…. woohoo… (note again, sarcasm).

After missing our stop, having to backtrack, and walking in circles for about 45 mins, Zach and I went to the Holocaust Museum today. He’s never been and neither have I, so I thought it was nice to go. It was actually quite interesting and I learned even more than I already knew about the Holocaust.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I have to get up early and go to the Laurel Walmart… scuse… the Laurel SUPERWalmart, lol, and get new tires for my bucket (a.k.a. car). Then I have to go and pick up a shift at work to pay for the other two that I need to get on Thursday after my shift and before the Greencastle Carnival (not fair ). I just hope I make enough to be able to pay my cell phone bill and the tires. Ugh, I’m so frustrated with my financial situation. It almost gives me an ulser. I need an hourly job. This tip shit isn’t going to cut it much longer. I love my job, but it’s so financially unstable. I need that weekly/biweekly paycheck to be able to budget with. Anyway…
I’d better get to bed. Big day tomorrow. Today was so sweet that I just want to relive it in my dreams. 
Jul 14
That’s all I want right now. I just want this day to end. I get up nice and early today and got some stuff done around the house and got some of my bills paid. Well I leave to go and see if I can pick up a shift at work and I end up blowin’ a tire on the way there on 95. A friend of mine was calling me just then and she came out to help me get a new tire and whatnot… we drove all around town looking for a tire and everywhere we went said that they had to special order it. So I had to call out of my shift tomorrow morning ‘cuz I don’t have anyway to get there. Ugh.. oh well… it’s almost over. I have to call a bunch of places tomorrow to have them order it so that I can have it by Thursday when I go back to work. I am going to have to pick up a shift or two at the Columbia store or something until I can get back to Towson. Now onto a better topic. Tomorrow Zach, Erin, and Szymon are comin’ down to go out to DC. We’re all going to go to the Holocaust Musuem. I’ve never been, but neither has Zach so we’re all goin’. Well I’m gettin’ kinda tired, and I just want this day to end so I’m going to get to bed.
Jul 10
Ugh, yet another night at work… not that I don’t enjoy my job, but sometimes it just is so boring. I think I must have walked at least 10 miles today inside that building. It was so slow, and there was no need for a PIC. Oh well… I got paid, and that’s all that matters. Aight, I’m out… hope everyone is having a good week.

Zach came down for the day after I got off of work and we went to the Friday’s in Arundel Mills and then went to the mall. I wanted to go see Finding Nemo since I was probably the only one who hadn’t seen it. Seriously though, it was hillarious. That blue fish, whatever her name is… Dory! SO FUNNY! And the turtles..!!! DUDE! SWEET!! LOL. Aight, I better get to bed.
Jul 07
WOOHOO A Day off work! I went into work this morning (as I was scheduled to) and came to find out that they didn’t need me… normally I would have been pissed off that I had to drive a 1/2 hour behind some asshole on the beltway and then told to turn around and go home… but after only getting about 5 hours sleep and a to-do list long enough to choke a small elephant, I didn’t mind. I ended up goin’ to the bank to deposit my tips from the night before, then I went to Walmart and dropped off my film from the 5th. Most of the pictures came out pretty well… especially of that special someone grabbing someone else’s boob!
After dropping off my film I went to go get my haircut and randomly decided to get it highlighted as well… I’m still deciding if I like it or not; all I know is that I looked HOTT when Sarah (my hair lady) was done. So I suppose that’s enough to warrent me to like it. I’ll have to see what everyone thinks of it tomorrow.
There are so many things coming up that I just cannot wait for. This Saturday my good friend LeAnn gets married… then on the 21st, Zach, myself, and Kristin are goin’ out to the Inner Harbor, then August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd myself, Zach, Kristin, Devin, Szymon, Erin, and I think James (maybe? I think… I dunno)… are goin’ out to Ocean City for the weekend. So I have a fun-filled season comein’ up. 
Well, it’s gettin’ late and I am going to be responsible and go to bed so I can wake up early enough to try to do my hair. That sounded more vain than responsible… oh well.. lol…

We went out to the Antietam Battlefield and had a blast. After listening to the orchestra for about 5 hours the fireworks started. I’ve never seen fireworks so big and brilliant. They were so beautiful. I just hope the pictures come out. Only one picture of last night’s fireworks came out… oh well… we’ll see what happens. I better get to bed before work tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend.
