things have been up and down. i have really good times then bam-in a slump because i get back to reality.
i had a pretty good weekend. saturday, jon picked me up from work and we went to go visit sergio to give him the money for my phone to give to my mother. we ended up staying there for about an hour and a half. it's a little aggravating when he showed me the "guest bedroom" which could possibly be my bedroom. POSSIBLY. thanks mom, i appreciate you making things more difficult for me an giving my brother hell over this. anyway, after we drove to downtown and parked in a cheap parking place and just walked extra which was fine with me, i could use the walking. we walked to chipotle and were astonished to find that it closed at 4 :( just like every other store/restaurant on that block. i had a masive headache and wanted to go into walgreens to get some excedrin, especially because being at a show with a headache is a huge no for me. we ended walking to 7-eleven to get some sammiches and just walked on our way to the bottom lounge and ate them on the ground outside.
we waited a few hours until we got to do the meet and greet wth cynic. pretty nice guys but i just sat there the whole time because i never really heard everything by cynic. it also didnt help that i was the only hippy looking girl there among a bunch of metalheads. later we went to go stand in the crowd to watch the show. i felt like i was standing for days. my back was hurting so bad by the time we got out and we still had to walk blocks back to the car. we drove out to lansing sine its close to my current home. we were hungry so we had some applebees then looked for a cheap but cockroach-free hotel. no luck the 40$ ones were sold out so i told him to save money and we'd sleep in the car.
next morning we got up pretty early and headed off to ihop. i fet like we were both homeless because we slept in his car and tried to find ways to waste time so we wouldn't head back to my current place and intrude. i don't really like being there on weekends since i feel i already invade enough. we went to dollar tree and got me some necessities and spent some time reading the birthday cards to give one to my little sister. after the tree we went to best but looked at the electronics, tried them out and spent time playing NBA live. once again feeling homeless but i liked it because its something different then your typicl outing with someone. i'm not sure if that made sense.
after best buy we stopped quickly at radioshack then off to my current place to get my bike and did some biking. i know how much jons been into cycling so i thought i'd join him in something he likes to do. it also has an advantage so its grood. we drove to disc relay to drop some cds off, ran to chipotle for our lovely burritos then to jamba juice to join our meal. we ran bac to dis replay but they only wanted two cds out of about 25 :( we quickly ate and off to shannons we went!
fire hooping
fire hooping was so amazing. i loved it so much and cannot wait to get my own hoop. it was really akward though and i messed up a lot and i got scared to do some tricks but it takes practice. shannon said i did pretty good fo my first burn because i seemed fearless and that made me smile :)
ugh, enough talking.
bye!

lessons learned
it's been a month and two days since i left home. it's been that long and still no phone call from home. it's not that i want them to call me and ask me to come back but it would be nice to know they at least give a shit. it's not just that, its also wondering if my mom will get over her pride and either A) call me or B) let my dad call me. apparently, thats too much to ask for.
i'm not mad at them at all. i just dont want to visit a month later and still be in the same position from when i left. i know my sister will be there making a mockery of me and fueling my mothers flames against me, so whats the point? this whole experience has taught me something different. family isn't always there for you. my brother and partially my little sister are the only ones who have not yet turned their back on me and other people are the ones who are helping me and are there for me. my best friend and her family, my boyfriend, an old friend, a customer/friend. it's shocking and beautiful all at the same time and thank you so much to those people.
i had to also withdraw from school. what if i didnt get a job in time to pay for school? i risk not getting the deposit back and not going to school anyway. it turns out the deposit was non refundable but i explained the situation to one of the officers there and shes willing to refund it. $250 better to go back to my dad then go to columbia for free.
i just hope this all stops soon. i hope i get a full time job and a car soon. i want to go back to school by next semester and stop being a burden on everyone. none of them have make/made me feel that way but still, its on me that i feel that way. i feel like a bum :(
well, i must go shower cause i'm gonna watch tv with my best friend :)
love,
