so one of my best friends, jules (the one in the peace corps in niger), wrote a post on her facebook about how she misses her ball state crowd most of all. and desperately awaits their letters. i write her once a week. i just spent forty five dollars mailing her some goddamn christmas cookies. but she misses them the most. and doesn't feel bad about posting that on the internet for all of us that she barely misses to read.
it made me cry a lot
so please
please
will none of you ever write on your facebook or something about how you like miss tiffy the most?
i miss everyone
but apparently the feeling is not mutual
also i feel like beth in little women
one day i'll take a pic of my new car (named him enrique) and put it on the blog) but changing clothes exhausted me today. so maybe tomorrow.
Team work!

ACHOOOOOO
so along with racheypoo, i am sick. not super sick though, just sick enough to be able to function and have to go to all my commitments while still feeling like shit. you know, that kind. and i can't stop sneezing! i've never had a cold before where all i do is sneeze...it's really weird. maybe it's allergies as well. i split my thanksgiving b/w my house and patrick's and he has a cat (though she is a pretty cool cat) and they do not make my nose happy. but now i just feel yucky in general.
the talk with my parents @ thanksgiving went really well. i think my parents were more nervous for it than we were, but they just gave us advice and stuff, it was cute. i don't think patrick'll propose probably until this summer or maybe early fall, so don't hold your breath for xmas or valentine's or my bday or anything. but hopefully it will be within the next calendar year. we'll see!
i am so looking forward to tiffy's blog omg! it better be epic!
i did pretty much all my xmas shopping online today and am trying to spend <$30 for each person i'm buying for. it's hard! stuff costs lots o money! ahh!
i really missed patricey at my thanksgiving this year. eating chinese noodles wasn't the same without you.
FINALLY i had an amazing lesson with mr. kawasaki today. at the beginning of the quarter he assigned me 4 etudes from kreutzer and today was only my 2nd time seeing him, so i played all 4 etudes for him and he said that they were all "very good" which is awesome cause he hardly ever gives compliments. and i played a little bit of my concerto for him and he liked that too. so i think i'm now on his "good side" which is like a really good thing. so good, in fact, that he assigned me 7 MORE FUCKING ETUDES. 7. pretty much #9-15 in kreutzer. rach, it was really funny today because he was like going through each etude that he was assigning me and he was like "this is for string crossing" and i was thinking yeah i know cause that cray cray ped assignment we did.
anyway, i'm working on baking xmas cookies tonight and trying to practice my scales. the only scary thing that i have left this quarter is our scales test...we have to take one at the end of every quarter and we have to pick a scale (i'm doing c maj since it's my first one) and we have to play major, all 3 minors, arpeg, 3rds, 6ths, 8ves, and either an etude/orch excerpt all from memory. gaaaaaag. so i gotta try and cram all that shit in before next tuesday. ew.
also work is now CRAZY because apparently everyone and their mother waits to submit their grad school apps (well i did this actually) until thanksgiving break so then when the admissions staff comes back after break we have like 8 huge mailbins full of mail...and everyone calls at the same time asking me the same damn question, "where do i send express mail? the ups guy said i can't send it to a PO box...." and i'm like..read. the. damn. directions. in. the. application. handbook. NOBODY READS ANYTHING ANYMORE. but i actually really love work so i shouldn't complain, it's just annoying when people don't read.
is anyone else as excited about this movie as i am?!?! i'm going to see it next week. !

So Tiffy - I think you have to add amanda as like a contributor. I couldn't do it, although I tried. I think I just invited her to read it.
I'm sick. Went home early from work today. I'm sitting here eating cheese, despite my total lack of an appetite. You know how most people lose weight when they're sick? Well, I only throw up from booze and often choose to eat out of boredom. And that is what I'm doing now. ALSO my mom made cookies yesterday (yay) so im eating those to make me feel better. So far, nope. We shall see though. Perhaps the cheese will help.
So Kelly, I saw on facebook that you had a great thanksgiving. Also you told us you were planning on talking to your rents about a wedding over thanksgiving. WE NEED DETAILS. If you don't want to tell them you could just email me.
Patrice, I appreciate your congrats BUT im gonna need you to notice that despite the fact I am a bad ass barista I only got the promotion after complaining that the total loser was being promoted over me. ALSO even more evidence that johnathon never intended to promote me - i think he gave me the wrong book. Like I think he gave me the trainer's book. But we shall see.
Patrice, I'm in your boat and totally understand your lack of motivation but I have a couple suggestions you might want to consider. If you don't, no problemo. 1. continue to apply to better jobs, dont put all your eggs in the jet basket (although that was a good essay) 2. try to get some violin students. It might make you feel like the last 12 years of your life havent been a COMPLETE waste (it does me). but it is good you're getting more hours at borders. did you work black friday?
My thanksgiving was good. My aunt got a little drunk and that was funny. My brother was there and that was fun. MY car is made. It's on a train somewhere. Did I tell you guys that already? I should get it this week or next. I was hoping to get it a little later because I wanted a bigger downpayment. But whatever. It'll be fun to drive my new fiesta around!
Putting the cheese away and getting another cookie. Wish me good health!
PS to everyone but tiffy. Tiffy tells of BIG blog plans. It'll be pages long, it'll have pictures, and movies, and smells, and be interactive. BE EXCITED

in between
I approve the Amanda joining. BTW did someone change the dog picture? It seems different.
Can I say that I'm not unhappy but not super happy either. Been getting more hours, I finally work 5 days a week instead of 1. Things are getting busy with the holidays. People are buying stuff. I'm still working out. Did some shopping, it made me happy, but then I thought about spending money and it made me sad.....I need to be saving not spending.
Rach congrats on the promotion!!!!!!! ;) That sucks you have to do training and you don't get paid for the hours.
Oh, so one of my friends from high school, she lives in California with her Navy boyfriend, I went to visit them over spring break last year, well they got engaged. Hes a nice guy, and seems good for her. But wow, that was fast. This is like the first one of my close friends to get engaged. It's kind of shocking for me.
I don't practice my violin ever. I feel like I don't have a goal/motivation/dream. I don't know what to do. I'm waiting for JET, but I feel like mehhh. No aspiration what so ever. Waiting for people to come home for their winter breaks so I'll have more people to hang out with.
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving.
