Spritual Awareness

September 30, 2008

A little different from what I’d normally write, I think. But I do believe it might still be of some interest.
Check it out

:) Have a nice day!

Avenged Sevenfold’s Biggest Fans?

September 27, 2008

Second articlllle. The title of the article is the title of my bloooog. :) Of course.
Are you ready for seconds? :)
Click here!

My plan is to post an article every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. We’ll see how well it goes. Obviously, there will definitely be three articles a week.

So um…not much else has been going on. I went to Jackson today with Kiefer. I think he had an okay time. :-\ I tried.

Gosh, I have nothing to say. Isn’t that bizarre?

Taylor Swift: A Good Role Model?

September 25, 2008

What’s the heading for, huh? Oh, I don’t know…maybe because THAT’S MY FIRST ARTICLE!?
GO CHECK IT OUT!: Taylor Swift: A Good Role Model?

Woot, woot! YEAAAA! SO excited.
I can’t even talk I’m so excited…

J-O-B!

September 22, 2008

I’ve got it. Part-time, $2.50 every 1000 page views, exploitation of my name! WOOHOO!
I have to write three articles a week. Not bad, huh?
Pay might not be great, but, it might be raised once people think I’m good! Isn’t that great!?
I thought so. :)
I had to choose a picture and write a (up to) 35 word biography, so here’s a sample preview…

Amber is a new freelance writer who absolutely loves to write. Being a recent high school graduate, she has a young modern outlook on things like art, music, and television.

So what do you think? The bio had to be about me, but also had to incorporate why I’d be writing in arts & entertainment (which I’m doing.) So does it seem to be good? I hope so…
That picture is being used because I took a vote and that won the majority. The other choice is the one I have in my About Me section on here. People chose this because it’s professional. ;) It does look better. I didn’t like it originally though because it was in color and my teeth looked yellow…gross!

Alright, that’s all I have to say. Good night.

It’s Been A While

September 21, 2008

Ugh. I feel so…helpless right now. Like, I’m bored, I don’t know what to do, I don’t feel like sleeping, etc. I don’t know why.

Anyway, I haven’t written in a week. :( Woops. I just didn’t feel like writing. Be glad you’re not my journal. :P

Let’s see, what’s happened in the past week?
Monday: Prepared for Tuesday.
Tuesday: Had cupcakes for my birthday. :) Even went out to lunch with Mom.
Wednesday: Got debit card.
Thursday: Uh…nothing that I remember.
Friday: Hung out with Kristina (here) and had a couple beers.
Saturday: Gee, nothing.
Today: Hm…nothing!

But yeah, my mom and Kiefer are going back to New York. Surprised I didn’t blog about that in anger? Me too. But yeah, they are. And that probably delays James’ coming down here even more. Which upsets me to no end.
Gosh, I just want him so bad. I think he still likes me and all and it’s great that he’ll probably be helping Kiefer go to school. But still…I want to have someone to hold and someone to hold me in bed. I go to sleep thinking about it, man.
I know. I’m probably sounding like some pathetic teenager. You know what? I don’t care right now. How do you like those apples?

Oh my gosh, I just read a story on how Travis Barker and DJ AM were in a jet crash. They are so lucky to be alive! So, so lucky. I definitely hope they get better soon and send my deepest wishes to their families and those who were actually killed. :(

Also, I applied to a few more jobs within the past week. I don’t think I’ll be getting hired though. I think I’m gonna become a babysitter. Five bucks an hour per kid and extra kids (from the same family) will be two bucks added on. Sound good? Know anyone in the Bradford, TN area, or surrounding areas, willing to have their kids babysat here? I’m right next to the Bradford school! :D

I need a new header…I like this one, but it just doesn’t seem to fit. How do you like it? Hm…

It’s Sunday!

September 14, 2008

Oh yea! Not really… But hey, guess what? Today’s the last Sunday I’ll be seventeen. :P
You know what? I think I’m actually going to miss being young. I mean, yeah, I still look forward to my future, but I like being young…you can be carefree. Sure there’s responsibility, but that’s not so big when you’re a teenager.

My mom told me she plans on taking me to Applebee’s on Tuesday in Union City since she can’t do anything else and she has a gift card for there. That’ll be cool.
Everyone kept saying your eighteenth is supposed to be big, but it’s really not gonna be big for me. I know, suck it up. But I’m not. I’m getting all teary-eyed and upset because I won’t be getting any presents down here, the only ones who will know are my mom, Kiefer, Mercedes, and my dad after he realizes people are commenting on it. It’s fucking bullshit, really. Oh, and Kristina remembered, because she told me she got me a card the other day.
But I wish I had a job, so I could go to work and continue to act like it’s just another day. Not something special. I don’t think I’d get upset as much.

Anyway, I uploaded my pictures to the computer and took some more today. I’ll post a few…to change the topic. :P

I Was Bad

September 13, 2008

Today, yeah. Did nothing all day. I don’t even know what happened to the time. Someone, who I’ll mention in a little bit, has inspired me to do bullets, so here they are:

  • I rolled out of bed around 11 AM or so…after being woken up at like, eeeiiight? By Verizon. And then my cousin asking if my mom would take a job during a shift she listed as not willing to work. Idiots.
  • I read The Smack Factor.
  • I watched In The Land Of Women with my mom.
  • I read more of The Smack Factor.
  • I looked at the time and realized I better blog! It’s nearing midnight. Seriously? Where did the time go?

And that was my day. By the way, incase you didn’t guess, Smack had inspired me to do bullets. ;) She loves lists.

Yeah, I never made it back down to the Doodle Soup events. I wasn’t feeling the greatest. :-\
But I did take some pictures of the sky tonight. Speaking of that, I gotta upload them to my computer.

And on a side note, I miss James. I was missing Justin pretty much all week, but I’m really missing James right now. I guess because I have no one to talk to and relate to. And laugh at. :( I’m hoping everything up north runs smoothly and gets over with quickly, because I really want him down here. I want to see where everything stands between him and I. And my mom “joking” around that I’m in love with him and all doesn’t help. Like the other day I was joking how Kiefer will live with her forever and she was all “Yeah right, he’ll want to live with you and James. Good luck.” That’s not necessarily saying we’ll be together forever, but I was saying about in five years, and that is pretty much saying we’d last at least five years and be living together, does it not? Hm…*sigh*

Doo-Doo-Doodle…

September 12, 2008

Yep, today was Doodle Soup Day. It was okay I guess…there was some nice artwork. I didn’t take any pictures today though. It’ll be going on tomorrow too and my mom plans on going, so maybe pictures will happen then. But there’s supposed to be a pancake breakfast, however it’s at 8 AM. I had a hard time getting up at 9 today, there’s no way I’m gonna be down there by 8.

We didn’t do much of anything else today though…

Kiefer and Mercedes hung out down there for about an hour and my mom just left to take Mercedes back because she was whining she wanted to go back. She’s so dumb sometimes. She said she came home because Kiefer was bothering her. Common sense: You stay and he goes. Duh. Whatever.

I Got Busy!

September 11, 2008

Just kidding. Well, I did. But…you know what? Nevermind.

  • I went to the bank today and opened a Students LifeGreen Checking Account or whatever at Regions.
  • I had lunch with my mom at El Gallero (the really yummy Mexican place.)
  • I got a Strawberry slushy from Sonic’s (with real strawberries in it!)
  • I set up my online checking account, so that I can check the progress and stuff and get e-mails on how my account is doing.
  • I looked online for actual jobs, not freelance. And I applied at the hospital for a Maternity assistant. Not sure what I’d be doing, but it’s the maternity ward! Who wouldn’t want to check it out!?
  • I even took pictures of the town for Doodle Soup Day and the American Flags for September 11th. :(

Yeah, that was my day. :) Hopefully I get a call from the hospital. I think it’d be really nice if it turns out I’m qualified for the position. It’s weekends from 7AM-7PM, but that’s not bad. Two days out of the week? I have the whole week off? I don’t do anything with my weekends right now anyway. :P

By the way, I send my best wishes to those deeply effected by the tragic event seven years ago. I know it doesn’t seem that long ago and so I give you my best wishes.

Not Much Happened Today

September 10, 2008

That’s probably a lie. Kiefer came home from school today twice. My mom went to a meeting for him and they’ll have him in the resource room for the rest of the year. Hopefully that’ll help him out.

I decided I will probably get a regular job, I most likely won’t like, and then maybe start a photography business. ;) And then, I can raise money for sending manuscripts to publishing companies.

My dad took a job today, getting paid ten dollars an hour. He’ll be bringing home half the money he was making with my uncle. Sounds great, huh?

And that’s pretty much it…I told you not much happened today.

Tomorrow I think I’ll go with my mom to set up a bank account for my checks from graduation, since they might expire in December. And maybe I’ll look for some jobs to apply at while we’re out, because that’s what she’s doing. She had suggested we do the bank thing today, but I got up too late and she had a meeting. Maybe we’ll even get to that place where I have to sign up for my driver’s course! ;)
