My weekend. Described Thursday already. Don't remember Friday all that well. Saturday went to Grandmother's to celebrate Mother's Day and my mom's birthday (they fall on the same day this year). Stayed over night while playing cards. Went to bed at 11:30 p.m. but couldn't sleep (too hot and too uncomfortable of a floor, etc.) I think I drifted off at something like 3 or 4 a.m. Sunday, got woke up at 6:30 a.m. by little brother. Played poker with little sisters for awhile. Mom opened up presents. Then we went over to the Aunt's for a party. I sat in a chair until we left a few hours later. It was really hot. We had to leave to run to my dad's side of the family. It was not fun or good. They didn't acknowledge my mom's birthday but were celebrating one of my little cousin's birthdays that was several days past. I was mad at the treatment. Came home and was really tired. Got on, checked for emails, wrote the quick post on my journal and went to bed. That was my weekend. People are coming home so I have to get ready since every day there is a chance i will be sent out on another errand for/with sisters. see ya'll :) | | Sunday, May 9th, 2004 | | 10:12 pm |
Exhausted. Will try to write more tommorrow. | | Saturday, May 8th, 2004 | | 2:39 am |
Quick note before I go to bed. I will be out of town from sometime tommorrow afternoon (Saturday) to Sunday evening. I plan to try to check my email when i get up tommorrow and please comment just like normal and I will reply either tommorrow if it is before I leave (that would be in the afternoon) or Sunday night when I get back :) I doubt this affects much of anything but just in case :) Now I am headed to bed. Oh, and Alex ? You have my cell phone number in case you feel like talking :P -Jamie | | Tuesday, May 4th, 2004 | | 12:35 am |

Go into your LJ’s archives. Find your 23rd post (or closest to). Find the fifth sentence (or closest to). Post the text of the sentence in your lj along with these instructions that I take it in the evening and can't settle down until around the time the sun comes saw this in jacy's journal (credit where it is due). | | Tuesday, April 27th, 2004 | | 11:45 pm |
Going to be another early night (there is a chance I will have to get up quite early tommorrow morning). Today was supposed to be a good day but it didn't go quite like everyone hoped. I will update on it later (hopefulyl I will know more). Oh, what the heck, here is a very short version. Got woke up by dad telling me he was coming home from work to take me to pick up my car. We picked it up and then we dropped my mom's car back off at her work (my dad's has been in the shop and won't be back until tommorrow). We left there and got a few miles down the road and my car died at a stop light (for those who followed my journal, this will sound familiar). It died many times when I tried to restart it. We had a cop with a rubber bumper push us off the main road onto a side road where we could try restarting it without holding up the main traffic patterns. In the end, after 2 1/2 hours, my dad gave up and we stopped and started enough to get it to a Goodyear shop. They wouldn't fix it but told us what was wrong. It is not good. We finally got back home (had someone pick us up and drive us home). My dad went out in the only working car to take sisters to dance practice for a play. As for my car, we will see what happens. There is talk that we may junk it. I might have to wake up early to go with my dad so we can drop everyone off and take the last car to my car and try to get it home. My mom thinks this is a pointless thing since the shop are closer to where the car is now than our house is and if we bring it back here, we will just have to fight it to get it back out there. We will see who wins the argument. Anyway, that is a short version of today. I miss all my wonderful readers. Talk to y'all soon (I hope). | | Monday, April 26th, 2004 | | 9:56 pm |
It's happening again. Only 2 1/2 hours ealier. It is now only 10 p.m. and I am being kicked off. :( I am not happy about this. bye. | | 12:10 am |
Not that I am usually flooded with people looking for me and actually IMing me but just in case... I will not be on for the rest of the night. My mom has sinus drainage and has decided to sleep in a comfortable chair which basically means the one in the front room which is also the room with the computer. So I am going to get off and let her sleep. Good night all. | | Friday, April 16th, 2004 | | 2:54 pm |

Weird
wow. two things of note for any of you that don't feel like looking up words, here are what the 2 unusual words mean, Halberd is a weapon of the 15th and 16th centuries having an axlike blade and a steel spike mounted on the end of a long shaft. Transmogrify means to change into a different shape or form, especially one that is fantastic or bizarre. Basically, it is a form of converting. Well, I love the imagery of the that weapon but I think the threat is a little weak. Oh well. Well, this was amusing. I saw this somewhere and tried it. If someone has seen it somewhere I might have visited, let me know. Of course, a nice comment to go along with it might be nice. -Jamie | | Sunday, January 25th, 2004 | | 12:37 am |
For my wonderful readers' amusement, here is the latest (who knows, maybe the last ?) chapter in the twisted story of me and the girl who was my "girlfriend". Thursday, I was sitting at my computer waiting for a reply to an email when my email alert went off.. it had her email address on it. I opened it and it was one of those Quizyourfriends sites where you create a quiz on the system and send out invitations to visit the site and answer the multiple choice answers. So I went... I start answering the questions and I get a few wrong but through 6 questions, i still had gotten 4 right (and a 5th that I think is right- she did say in the message section of the email that one question was wrong. I think the odds that she had changed her major when she was that close to graduating when it was what she wanted to do with her life since childhood were fairly low)... Then I get to question #7... I think most of you have a pretty good idea what the question involved... but oh well, might as well finish this story anyway. Question #7- 7) what is my boyfriends name In case you were wondering, my name was not one of the 4 choices. Well, I can no longer say the last I had heard, she was calling me her boyfriend... Oh, just to round out this story, a few interesting points (at least of interest to me)... I got the boyfriend question right (D- Mitch)... and I just checked the scoreboard and my 70% is second best (behind her roommate who is one of her best friends) and actually ahead of her other best friend. I guess I was listening all that time, after all. Well, thus concludes the story hour for this day.

damn server went out on us last night... went to get back online and webpages wouldn't load and YIM wouldn't connect :( well, now I have to run off and fulfill my roles in RW. hopefully, I will still be able to get back on tonight :| -Jamie | | Tuesday, January 20th, 2004 | | 2:32 am |
Well, still looking for a job. Liz Phair has depressed me. "Isn't this the best part of waking up, finding someone you can't get enough of, someone who wants to be with you too".If you have read my journal, you probably have a vague idea why that depresses me. I am not clinically depressed but I know myself well enough to know something has not been right for awhile. When I was sick, everything could be pawned off as being part of being sick... and then it was being sick while overworking myself trying to finish up that triple major.. then it was from trying to recover while trying to finish. The newest theory my family has is that I am just in a transition period between the life I knew (college) and a new life (preferably with a job from their perspective ) and that it hasn't helped that it has only been a few months since major surgery. And the thing that makes all of that so easy for them to convince themselves is that it is all true. It would be nice if they were right but I am not sure they completely are. Another typical post in the journal of gloom. there is a little positive right now. There have been a few good late nights in the last week where things have looked up... There is another part of that song from Liz Phair that jumped out at me from both the past and the present, though the emotions caused by it are mixed.. "high enough for you to make me wonder, where it's going... high enough for you to pull me under.. something's growing out of this that we can control." Most of you will understand the feeling.. and those who read my journal will probably get at least part of why that part jumps out at me... The song seems to be about the romantic type of relationship... but any friendship that is fast growing and where you become close can do that. I guess where I stop to think more about it-my past, my present, and likely my future- it can apply to all of them. The past is known and done. The other two, however, there is hope for. Hopefully, what grows will be of stronger and better stock. With that, I conclude my birthday and go to bed.

Went to a basketball game this evening. the "good" guys (actually, women but the principle is the same) won by a large margin. No clue what the rest of the weekend holds. I guess I will find out when I get up on Saturday since I am told my mom wants to talk to me about when my party will be. I guess I will end with a deeper thought- Try to be sure you are ready for it before you search self-reflection and knowledge of self. It has its advantages but realize it often comes with a price. It will usually become harder to fool yourself with shallow illusions and lies about yourself and where you really are in your life. It is an incomplete analysis but I would rather give you something to think about for now. Just something to roll around your mind and play with. If you are lucky, maybe it will even take over your thoughts long enough to avoid the same old roads your mind normally goes down and give you a few moments of rest from them. Maybe all of that is old news.. it might even be wrong.. Take it for whatever you think it is worth. Anyway, that is my post this time.

My day woke up feeling jittery. Called about a job at a place my cousin worked at in management for awhile. They weren't interested. Then went to the doctor for a follow-up on my surgery... still have swelling. He said it was hard to judge some of the things since my being sick made some of the problems harder to find whether it was the illness or by-product of surgery... or some crap like that. Then went job hunting. Then decided that it would be a bad idea to mix my jumpiness with exposure to my siblings. So I took off and went back to school and watched a basketball game. Came home after everyone but my dad was asleep. Now I am writing this. Other interesting things discovered in the last few days. 1) The girl who gave me the code so i could have this free account has dropped me from her friends list. And since her journal is friends-only, this means I no longer have access to it. Of course, since she no longer was talking to me, it probably shouldn't surprise me. 2) Lexington, Ky is 408 miles from the town I live just outside of. The vast majority of it highways. Well, that is my update.. now time for wonderful and enlightening comments made by my beautiful readers.

My health
Since I seem to only have 2 readers, I figured i would just answer both of your concerns about my health in 1 post. Yes, I am ill. I believe the chest pain is related to the heart burn and whatever nasty illness both my mom and I got at the same time. Basically, I think something is causing my stomach acid to become a problem-- particularly after I am silly enough to try to eat more than bread in any quantity... especially when I go to sleep... though I have vomited during the day a few times. Haven't seen a doctor since I am no longer covered under any medical plan... but then again, it has only been 8 days so maybe that won't be necessary... and of course, since I haven't seen a doctor, I have no meds except some of the pink stuff (peptobismul-- or however you spell the pink stuff you take for heartache and all that other stuff)... Oh well, it is not likely I have spent much time feeling healthy the last few years. Much love to ya both. -Jamie | | 12:30 am |
Update on me
Well, the holidays are over. Christmas was not all that fun... well, partly because my older sister called at 8 a.m. because she felt she needed to go to the hospital and needed someone to come watch the kid.. so my mom drove off to go tend to her. The rest of the day was not fun. Then on that Saturday we went to my mom's side... nothing really fun or really bad happened.. until Sunday night when I started having horrible chest pain and then the vomiting started. Monday, my mom had my dad drive me back home to lay around and recover while they stayed at the grandmother's. So that is what I did.. they finally came home Thursday. I have had various symptoms but the constant is the chest pain (probably severe heart burn) followed by vomiting... Oh, and i am still not even close to over it.. Things with the little sisters is going ok.. The 8 year old is still not a problem and still shows a lot more appreciation and affection for me.. and the 10 year old has stopped yelling at me so much... There might actually be hope for some form of a peace between us. On the off-line social scene, things are mixed. My "best friend" has finally started talking to me a little after close to 6 weeks of silence. I guess that means she is past being that mad. The friend from my past i had started talking to again suddenly stopped talking to me- the last real email was to explain that we couldn't get together on the day we were supposed to. That was 3 weeks ago. Oh, and my supposed girlfriend ? Well, I am still on here address book since from time to time, I get forwards from her... but no real contact in awhile.. I would give a week total like the others but I have lost track... Yeah, I have written her and I wrote her a nice one for Christmas... oh well. Well, that is the latest in my life. Feel free to comment if you want. Current Mood: sickCurrent Music: Black Velvet if you please-- on the radio | | Saturday, December 6th, 2003 | | 12:27 am |
ask and you shall receive. what's up with me ? well, by next weekend, I will be done with college for awhile... having completed 3 majors in 4 1/2 years. well, as for the girl from the previous public entries, i.e. my "girlfriend"-- well, that is the usual benign neglect that she seems to do so easily... actually I think we will break up the next time I can get her to really talk to me unless something really unexpected happens during that meeting to change my mind (highly unlikely but it wouldn't be the first time she has caught me off-guard with something she has said or done)... of course, I decided that about 3 weeks ago and both called and emailed her asking to see her so we could talk and other than a few forwards of jokes, I haven't heard back from her... I suppose I could write her or leave a voicemail but since I believe it is a shitty thing to do to someone, I am holding off on doing either of those. I am not sure what else there is to talk about... since nearly all my friends abandoned me in the last few months (nearly all of the offline ones and several of the online ones as well), all I have really been doing is doing school stuff... and maybe talking online when the occasion comes up... yeah, not exactly the laughfest entry of the year... well, that is basically my last few months in a nutshell... -Jamie Current Mood:  cynical | | Wednesday, October 29th, 2003 | | 5:18 pm |
