Adventures With JamesonTuesday, November 8, 20055:51PM - I'm Still AliveFor the few of you that read this (and I do mean FEW)....I'm still alive. Yes, that's right, I'm still alive...I have gone from taking classes and going out during the week to taking orders and going to bed by 10pm. Reality Bites, but then again..I'm sure you already knew this. Don't get me wrong, I like my job, but it's a job...and not what I went to school for, not what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. It's a full time job, more money (much more money than what I was making), and let us not forget the benefits...oh how I love my health care benefits..those are the main (and only) reasons why I took this job. Then again, because of this job...I was able to get my own place..that's always a plus. So, thing's are not too bad, but not great. But, then again I guess they could be worse...much worse. To those of you still in school (aka Shannon), enjoy every minute of it...you will miss it..not all of it, but some of it...trust me. Can't wait to come up to Mount Pleasant this weekend! Current mood:  drainedCurrent music: Allison Krauss (My Step-Dad's CD) Friday, February 18, 20052:19PMI am such a good little doobie. I have decided to go into work on my day off. Agh...I really need the money and it's only a 6-10pm shift. I did have plans to go out to dinner with my Dad and Connie (seeing as they forgot about me last night...long story). But, I think of it this way, if I don't go in and my parents find out somehow that Younkers tried to call me in, then they would get pissed at me seeing as I turned down the hours/money. Lately they have really been getting on my case about money. I realize that I will have to start paying my car insurance in April, my cell phone, and eventually my student loans..not to mention the fact that if I get a job somewhere I'm going to need money to get my own place. I think that this weekend is going to be one of my last weekends up in Mount Pleasant for a long time! I can't afford to keep going up there (what with gas prices being so damn high) and I need to be picking up as many hours as possible at work. Sorry girls. You know I love you, but I need to "get my ducks in a row" and buckle down financially. You know that you are always more than welcome to come visit me in Muskegon. Ok, I'm off to go get something to eat..all of this typing has made me hungry. XOXOXOXO Current mood:  indescribableCurrent music: Red Colored Stars - Jimmy Gnecco Thursday, February 17, 200512:18AMWell, the job hunt continues. I think I have now applied for 50 jobs? Something like that. My mom once again told me that I should go back to school and get a degree in Business. Yes, because I LOVE business stuff(enter huge amount of sarcasim here). Maybe I should just work at Younkers until Shannon gets done with school, then we could move in together somewhere out east and start our coffeehouse. Not too realistic, huh? Didn't think so. Oh well. I am saying my prayers that something will come up soon. On another note, I think that I may an have an ittsy-bittsy crush on this guy that I work with. I went on 2 dates with him about a year ago and we had a good time, but he just seems a bit too shy/quiet. When I told my Mom about this guy (Ryan), she said, "you only have a crush on him because your getting desperate". Can you believe that?! I'm not desperate! At least I don't think so. I just mentioned the fact that he is cute (in a dorky kind of way), nice, and an art major. Then again, I have to remind myself that there are boys out there like "Cute Brown Jacket Boy" (oh was he pretty, why didn't I do more to talk to him!!), Jason Roberts(hehe), and "Pretty Starbucks Boy". Those are the types of guys that I should and do go for. Oh well..I have to get my "ducks in a row" before I can focus on my love life (thanks Shannon). Speaking of which, back to applying for jobs. Love and miss you all!! Current mood:  frustratedCurrent music: Humming Pete Yorn's "Bandstand in the Sky" Monday, February 7, 200510:15PM - On VacationWell..here I am back in good ol' Mount Pleasant. Im on vacation..yup, I worked 15 days in a row and now I dont have to be back until Thursday..yeah! I came up here to work on my portfolio and of course to see everybody. Currently I am over at Shannon's eating Cold Stone Ice Cream (I love Cold Stone!!) and smelling soap. Yes, I said smelling soap. There is this great smelling soap that Bath and Body Works sells that smells like a boy (Shannon bought it for Freddy for his 26th b-day). I love the smell of it...I wish I had a boy to hug that smelled that good...maybe soon...very soon. Tomorrow night should be fun, the girls and I are going out to the Brass for 2 dollar Michigan beer night and because it's Freddys b-day. Good times. Well, I am off but I will update as soon as I get a chance. Much love....XOXOXO Current mood:  nostalgicCurrent music: Bright Eyes - Dont' know when but a day is gonna come Wednesday, January 19, 20058:50PM - Living at home sucksOk, I hate living at home. Well, not so much hate, but really dislike. It's nice not having to worry about rent, bills, etc... but at the same time I miss being able to have a place to myself. I love my Mom dearly, but she can get on my nerves! She always gets pissed off about the littlest things and makes me feel like an idiot. According to her I can do nothing right. I want to be back to a place where I felt appreciated and liked. I hate feeling like this. I'm hoping within the next few months to be out of here. I just hope that I can last that long. Current mood:  depressedCurrent music: None Sunday, January 9, 20054:39PM - I did it!!Well, I did it. Yup, I graduated from college (at least I think I did....I still have yet to get my diploma, but I passed my classes). If I did, I should be getting my diploma within the next 2 weeks, yeah! Of course, because of this I now have moved to Muskegon and am living with my Mom and Stepdad (I need to save up as much money as possible...and this was the only way). It sucks...I miss Mount Pleasant already, A LOT!! I had SO much fun up at Central and I am not ready to "grow up". All of my friends are still up here finishing up school and Im in Muskegon living at home and working at Younkers until I can find a job. Sigh. Oh, well....I will be up on weekends until I get a job (career if you will). You can bet on that! It is so strange going day after day without my Shannon. :( I used to see her EVERYDAY (literally). If I wasn't in class with her that day then I was over at her house that night. I'll admit we have somewhat of a strange relationship (seeing as we can see each everyday and not get sick of each other...we are never apart..well at least we used to never be apart), but it works for us. She is my best friend and I will ALWAYS keep in contact with her, no matter where I am or where she is. She could be in Antarctica learning french from a penguin, and I could be in Spain brushing up my Spanish, but that will not matter! Dramatic, huh? Ok, now some of my favorite things from college: Current mood:  accomplishedCurrent music: Blue Collar Lullaby by Coalesce Wednesday, September 8, 20043:19PM - Does anyone read this or am I just wasting my time?So....here is the latest....Jason and I broke up. :( Yeah, its sad, but we both realized that the distance is too much and that we both were heading in different directions. I love him, and always will. On a lighter note, Shannon and I have been spending a lot of time together lately. And, believe it or not, we have not gotten sick of each other yet. I really enjoy hanging out at her house. It's like a little vacation from my apartment. There seems to be something going on there everynight. And, had I not been going over there as much as what I have, I may never have met Rob. Yes, I have met a boy. His name is Rob and he is Beautiful Dean's cousin. Can you believe that?! This entire time, I have had a crush on Dean and then one night I meet his cousin and...BAAMM! I am now "smitten" (this is according to Shannon and Lauren) with him. He makes me laugh, has beautiful blue eyes, nice dark brown semi-long wavy hair, and is a great hugger/kisser. Who knows what is going to happen, I want to take things slow, seeing as I JUST got out of a relationship (a very long, good relationship). I think that he and I are at a Nacho/Tortilla stage...I know for a fact that he is not a Taco Salad...at least I hope not. If you are confused about that last sentence, well...you should be...its a lingo that us Quesidillas came up with. :) You know what....I dont even know why I continue to update this journal, because if you think about it...Shannon is the only one who reads it. Man, thats depressing. No offense to Shannon. Hell, for all I know....she may not even read my journal!! If thats the case, then I am really depressed. :( Ok, I have to go now....this is wasting my precious time. Goodbye, to whoever may read this. If you do read this, thank you and have a nice day. Current mood:  bitchyMonday, August 30, 200410:52PM - Welcome Weekend (aka become friends with Dean weekend)Whats up people? Not much new....stressing out about school..work..family...etc... I cannot WAIT until I am done with school!!! Soon...very soon..... Current mood:  ecstaticSunday, July 25, 200410:19PMWhat's up people!!? Boy, have I got a story for you (ESPECIALLY Shannon :). So, where to begin? Well, it was Thursday night here in good ol' Mount Pleasant. After I got done working that night my friend Katy (really sweet girl that trained me at the Embers) called and asked me if I would like to go out for a beer at the Blackstone. Of course, I said "yes", seeing as I didn't have to be at work the next day until 6:00pm. Alright...this is where it gets good. I arrived at the Blackstone around 11:30 and met up with "the girls". I was happily enganged in converstation with Marissa when I noticed this boy standing ever so close to me. I turned my head slightly to the left to try and get a look at him, it looked a lot like Hot Ceramics Guy (aka John). IT WAS HOT CERAMICS GUY!! It turns out that this girl that I work with named Tina is really good friends with him and his girlfriend (yes, I said girlfriend unfortunately). And unfortunately, his girlfriend, Renee, is really nice, funny, and good looking. Damn her! So, the rest of the night I was hanging out with my co-workers and JOHN (and his girlfriend, but we won't talk about her too much). We started at the Blacktone, ended up at the Pub to do a little dancing, and yes I DANCED WITH HIM!! I got to touch his wonderful, sexy body...ooohhh..Shannon don't you wish you were here??! :) And believe it or not, his girlfriend and I really hit it off. She and I talked for awhile and she told John that she considered me to be her new "best friend" and that I was "such a sweet girl". Meanwhile, in the back of my mind, I'm thinking about how I would love to spike her rum and coke with a little something and take advantage of her man...even for just 5 min.!! John remembered my face, and the fact that we had Ceramics together, but couldn't remember my name, that's ok though, he can call me whatever name he wants to! I did remind him though that my name was Jameson and it all came back to him. So, there you have it. My wonderful Thursday night out with John. Now, whenever I see him or his girlfriend I can talk to them and not feel stupid! Renee did mention that she would like to hang out with me again sometime...so who knows what will happen next? The possibilities are endless!! After all of this, all I have to say is that I wish Shannon could have been there. Next time..... :) Current mood: ecstaticCurrent music: Ben Kweller(which consists of one of my future lovers Jason) Tuesday, July 20, 20049:56AM - SummertimeOhh...how I want school to be over...ohh how I want school to be over...I miss my free Summer's! There is nothing to do here in Mount Pleasant in the Summer, it sucks. I'm thinking that tomorrow I am going to go on a quest for Lake Isabella. I need to go to a beach somewhere. I miss being able to go to Lake Michigan(ya know, cause I'm from Muskegon which is right on the lake). Sigh. Oh well, soon I will be on my way to Virginia Beach to visit Jason and then its off to Denver to visit my sister. Hooray! Current mood: bitchyCurrent music: Hummm of the computers... Thursday, July 1, 20041:12PM - I'm Back!!!Hey there people! Sorry that I haven't updated lately, but, damn I have been busy!! As of right now, I am working 4-6 days a week at the Embers (yes, I FINALLY got the damn job!!) and I have been taking Summer classes up here in oh so lovely Mount Pleasant. I really wish that I didn't have to take Summer classes, but if I want to graduate in December then I have too. December cannot come fast enough!! I want to be done with school!! I will say though that I am going to miss A LOT about college and living up here in Mount Pleasant. Here's a list of what I will miss: Current mood:  hungryCurrent music: The ever SO fabulous Death Cab for Cutie Wednesday, April 14, 20046:18PM - Being Poor Sucks, Don't You Agree?Alright...Im back. This week has been crazy! Besides having two projects due for school I also have to gear up for another round of tour (the JTSE Jigga Jigga What What FoShizzi 2004 Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Kweller Tour). I am really excited about going, but at the same time I have a lot of homework to do and I do not have much money at all. But, if this job at the Embers works out, that will change (hopefully). Why is it that everytime I DONT need money I have some and when I DO need money I have NONE what so ever??! Murphy's Law I guess....damn you Murphy. All I can ask for now is a miracle. Pray for me people. :) Alright..Im off to go get something to eat and then to go pick up Shannon to do some Tour prep. Have a great weekend! Current mood: exhaustedCurrent music: One of my many future lovers..Jimmy Gnecco..oohh baby :) Tuesday, April 13, 200411:03AMOk....so its been awhile..I know and I am truely sorry for that. I have been extremely busy!! Really I have..where to begin??? Well, for starters my Spring Break consisted of me going down to Virginia to visit my wonderful boyfriend Jason. I had such a good time, but it was not long enough. I have to say though, that the ride down there was horrible! To begin with..it was only supposed to take me 13 hrs at most...oh no, it took me 16hrs!!! Part of the reason would be the fact that I got a flat tire in Penn. and after that I pretty much took my sweet ass time in getting to Virginia in one piece. But, everything I went through was well worth it. Im planning another trip down there sometime in May. Ok..next topic. Monday, February 23, 200410:17PM - HELP!Okay...if anyones knows of anybody out there that has a credit card and would be willing to let me charge my plane ticket down to Virginia on it and then have me pay them back when I get my tax refund...that would be great!! I still have not gotten my refund and I dont think that I will in time for Spring Break next week. My plans have not been going the way that I had wanted them to (big surprise!). If things keep up like this, I may just have to drive down to Virginia (which is 13 hours!!) or just not go see Jason and wait until he comes back up here (which is god knows when). This sucks! Any help would be VERY much appreciated!!! Current mood: depressedSunday, February 22, 200410:49PM - Why the hell do airline tickets cost so damn much!?Well....Im back! Sorry for the lack of updates....these past few days have been really busy. To begin with, Jason came home for the weekend. I went to go pick him up from the airport on Thursday and he stayed until Saturday evening. He just came up to pick up his car and drive it back down to Virginia. But, anytime that I get to see him is definitely worth it! Even if he just came up for a day and I only got to see him for 3 hours...its worth it. Im trying to find a cheap flight to go down and see him over Spring Break but so far not so much luck. The cheapest I could find was 400.00-500.00. Thats not cheap!! Im going to see what I can do...I want to go see him really bad..I have to because after this I dont know when Im going to get to see him again. This sucks! Airlines can just kiss my ass! Tuesday, February 10, 20048:19PM - Good DayOkay....I am SO sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been really busy (honestly, Im telling the truth..believe it or not I do have a life...I know..its hard to believe, but I do). Not too much is new. I found out today that Jason is going to be coming home next Thursday (19th) so that he can pick up his car and drive it back down to Virginia. So, at least I will get to see him Thursday and Friday and then part of Saturday before he leaves. Oh happy day! Besides that wonderful news, I must say that today was a very fun filled, overall good day. It started this morning when I was actually able to finish my Business Software assignment in class! That is the first time that that has happened! I feel like such an idiot sometimes because everyone else gets done really fast and then theres me....I never finish it on time and then I have to do that for homework as well as the actual homework assignment! But, not today!! :) Then came Graphic Design, where Shannon and I wore paper hats in class. Boy did we look dumb, but who cares?! :) We were having fun...its good to be 6 years old again every once in awhile....it makes life spunky! Then came the wonderful world of Illustration. Today was Field Trip Day we went to The Midland Center for the Arts to look at Book Illustrations. Really neat stuff to look at if you have $4.00 your willing to part with. In addition to the book illustrations you can also see a one of a kind work by a great up and coming artist named Shannon Springer. She has a print on display there in with the work of the great Norman Rockwell...yes I said NORMAN ROCKWELL! Congratulations Shannon..way to go girl. To add to all the wonderful fantabulous stuff...our Illustration instructor even took us to McDonalds afterwards for french fries! How great is that?! Yummmm....All in all a great day..and now I must go grocery shopping with Elmo to get him some GOOD food to eat :) No more pizza! Okay..kiddies...adios! Current mood: excitedTuesday, February 3, 200412:24PMWell, sorry for the lack of updates...weekends are just a busy time, ya know? What with all my partying and binge drinking that I do. :) Nah, actually I spent my weekend working at the Land of Hallmark and visiting with my friends (Alex and Elmo to be exact). Not much else new around here....oh..so my dear wonderful friend Shannon decided not to some to class today! The nerve of some people! :) You know Im just kidding Shannon, if anything I am the queen of not going to classes. Feel better! Oh, kids I have some somewhat good news. I talked to Jason last night and he MIGHT be coming home next Thursday night to pick up his car from Muskegon! Oh happy day! But, I dont want to get my hopes up just yet...because knowing my luck he wont be able to get the time off. That would suck...so wish me luck and say your prayers for me. :) Lets see....what else...??...oh just a word to the wise, dont ever do your laundry at the EZ Laundrymat on High St. Because if you do, they may think that you have been smoking pot (its a long story...). I swear, I can never take that boy with me anywhere!! :) You know I still luve ya Christopher! Well, I hope that all of you wonderful, beautiful, lovely people have a great day and until next time...... Current mood:  happyCurrent music: the hummm of the computers in the lab Friday, January 30, 20049:32PM - Free Food is Always NiceHello all(Shannon, Elmo and possibly Katy, if she is reading this)...hows life? Thursday, January 29, 200411:46PM - The Military Sucks! :(Whats up!!? Im not going to write much, but I thought that I should at least update my journal a little bit. First and foremost, Jason left me today!! :( It seems like only yesterday he came home for his 2 week leave. Its never easy seeing him off, but I understand that its something that he wants to do and enjoys doing (Its the Navy for all of those who didnt know already). Yes, I cried like a baby over and over and over again..it was not a good day. Actually, I should take some of that back. For him having to leave this morning I did have a great night (thanks to my great, super wonderful friends: i.e. Shannon and Elmo). Elmo and I ended up going to the Tease for $1.00 Drafts and $2.50 Burgers. I met some really great people and possibly got myself a new/better job (thanks to Elmo...he knows how to hook a friend up!). Then we went to go see "And the Sky Went Red" with the ever so spunky Shannon. Needless to say it was a good time had by all. I thank god that I have such great people in my life like those two. Like I said Im going through a really tough time right now and they are exactly what I need. Looking forward to the JTSE Tour! Nashville here we come!! Okay, I think that I am going to go to bed now. I have to get up somewhat early so that I can go to Watercolor Painting and pat Hot Tattoo Chris on the ass. :) I love that class!! Until I write again (and dont worry kids, I will soon).
