Hail the conquering manager

So, I'm officially a manager at Long John Silver's/A&W Tahlequah. Store 5429, HOO-AH! But I make the big bucks now at a whopping $7.50 an hour, and I get to boss people around now and write them up when they don't listen to me and stuff. And Matt may be leaving Sears (he's been working there as a delivery and installation guy) to build fences for some guy he was delivering and installing appliances for. LoL. Small world and irony and all that jazz. In other news, I've been nominated for Poet of the Year through poetry.com and the International Society of Poets for the sixth year running and, were I able to attend the convention, I would be receiving the Outstanding Achievement in Poetry Award, as well as something else I don't remember at the moment, I'm among the 2006 Who's Who in Poetry, Noble House publishing wants to use my newest piece in their next international publication, due 2008, and I've simultaneously become a Poetry Ambassador Associate and been nominated for Poetry Ambassador in 2008. But I don't like to brag. :)) But I've got laundry to do and stuff, so I'm gonna get offa here. L8ERS.

7 months of no internet.....ach...

Well, it's been too long since I last posted, but the good news is that Matt is no longer working at Sonic. His boss, Richard, finally put Matt in a position where it was either put up with a ridiculous amount of rubbish, or quit. So he put in his two weeks on Sunday, Monday was his day off and he got called in to work for Richard to tell him he was terminating his employment early so that he didn't sabotage the store. But it's better, because Matt will be making more money if he gets hired on at Wal-Mart. It'll be great. I'm going to be moved up to manager at our local Long John Silver's/A&W in four weeks. We'll be pretty much set after that. But I'll be able to post on a regular basis from now on, so leave me comments and stuff so that I know what's going on with everyone.

Wow. And here I thought updating would be simple.

Well, obviously I can't keep up with anything, even at my own leisure. I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, and the information I have to share shows it. I'm no longer with Seth Short. That's been over for quite a while. Like, eight months, quite a while. But for only a day less than Seth and I have been broken up (and no, that was not planned), Mattew Ballard and I have been together. He's 20, and will be 21 the day after I turn 19. He's sweet, and strangely slow to anger. And with this family, we know how hard it is to find someone slow to anger. LOL.

But he and I are engaged, and have been almost from the third month we were together. We will be tying the knot on April 20, 2007. Probably where Damian and Sheilah had their wedding, and for those of you who don't know where the heck that was, it's out towards Braggs, between Tahlequah and Muskogee. It's out on the lake. Beautiful rock banquet hall with a gorgeous view onto the lake. I'm getting distracted aren't I? Oh well. ADHD and all that....what? Sorry. Got distracted. What was I talking about? OH yeah.

Matt (so you guys know generally what to expect) is about 6'2", and doesn't weigh much more than me at my 145lbs. Me and my scrawny men. LoL. His hair's that weird mix between red, blond, and brown that some people get, that I like to call "strawberry auburn". He has blue eyes that have a small circle of spring green at the center. He's not as well educated or well informed as most of the family, so all of you, take it easy on him when you first meet him, okay? But he's sweet, and better to me than my last boyfriend.

Mom and Dad bought Tasha and I a trailer out on the property, but Tasha's moving out over the course of the next week, and after that, Matt's moving in. We've pretty much been living together from day one, though. I don't think we've spent a night apart since Seth moved out of my apartment in January. But I really don't see that as a bad thing. I have even more confidence than I had before, because Matt has been able to accomplish something no one else has ever been able to do. He's shown me that I'm actually BEAUTIFUL! Can you believe it? Me. *small chuckle* 'Course, people have been telling me this for years, but I have never been able to see it before Matt. But if you want more details, gimme a comment.

Oh, one last thing. I don't work at Sonic anymore, although that was how Matt and I met. I run the local head shop in Tahlequah now. LoL. But it's a good job, and I get $240 every week. AND $200 in 30% discounts every month. Pretty groovy, eh? But ask me what you want, and I'll give you an answer. Laters!

Wow. Looky there. It's been a long time since last time I posted. A lot's happened. Let's see here. I graduated high school, and got a job. Almost a month ago, my boyfriend (yes, still Seth) and I moved in together. We're in an apartment on Allen Road on the way out of Tahlequah. I caught a respiratory infection from a co-worker a couple of weeks ago, and missed a week of class because of it. Thank you, Jesse. :b Anyway, yes, I'm doing the college thing and it's going relatively well. My professors are letting me hand in the late work and make up tests, so yay for me. I work at Sonic, so to all the fam, next time you head this way, drop by and give me a tip ;) But nothing like "Never extend your fingers to strangers; they may bite them off", mmk? But, anywho, I'm gonna get offa here. The prof should be here any sec. L8ERS.

What's that in the sky? A bird? A plane? A diploma!!!

Well, as some of you may know, graduation is coming up in a few weeks (on May 27, to be precise) and I know everybody reading this has an invitation, so there's no reason you can't either come, or come up with a lame excuse not to in time. I need RSVP's by about the 24th so I know how heavy-duty to clean the house, so everybody needs to, rather than comment their RSVP, e-mail it to me at either my address (vampyregurl7@yahoo) or Mom's (linnymac@yahoo). I would sincerely appreciate it if that would be at all possible. Yes, in less than three weeks, I'll be walking across the stage, and getting the folder for my diploma, which I'll pick up at the high school about a week later. My grades are pretty good (4 A's and a C), and with any luck I'll get pretty close to a 3.0. But everybody needs to get back to me on that. L8ERS, all.

Finally able to post again

Well, my computer in my 6th hour has been doing wonky crap lately, so this is the first post I've done in a while. I'm not having actual attacks anymore, but I'm coughing up crud. I'm all *hack hack* *spit*. Seth and I finally got his research project done last night at like 20 till 10. But it's done and handed in and that's what counts. Tomorrow and Thursday are finals for the trimester, and next week I'll have a whole new schedule. Yippee. But, luckily, no more racist full-bloods harassing me in 2nd hour after this week. In ten days, Seth and I will have been together for 1year and 6months. I need to ask Mom for $40 dollars so he and I can go to prom. I don't remember if I've mentioned it before, so as an update, my best friends Heather and Adam were dating, have split up, and now Heather's dating Seth's brother Jonah. The only downside is that when they argue, they're on opposite ends of the couch with us in the middle, so we just look at each other and giggle. I guess I'm done ranting for today, so here's to nasty processed school food and the nausea that goes with it.

Stress.....too.....much........(insert asthma attack here)

Ugh. This week has been hell. Sunday, Seth came over to work on his research project for English (which is past due), and about mid-evening, I started having asthma attacks. Like, bad. This has persisted to today. I haven't had a bad one in a few hours now, so I'm all happy, but exhausted and very sore from all the coughing. But back to Seth. He came over when he wasn't supposed to, so Jonah came and took the truck, but he brought it back later, so it was all good. But next week is the end of the trimester. He has until Tuesday to finish his research paper, and because it's really slow-going, his mother is now convinced that we haven't been doing any work on it, we've just been making out, which really makes me mad that Glenda would think I would put Seth's grade on the line just for a little touch. So hopefully, he'll be able to come over at some point this weekend and we can finish it so he doesn't fail. But I think all my asthma issues have been stress induced, cuz I was all stressed out yesterday, and had a bunch of asthma attacks, and the day before, too, and the day before that, going back to Sunday evening. I finally went in for a breathing treatment on Tuesday, and they gave me a nebulizer and the meds for it and Grandpa Jerry hooked me up with an oxygen tank so I can breathe now, or at least work my way up to it. Wish me good health and little stress, folks.
