This past weekend was rather awesome. Friday, we went to the coldplay concert. Which from that I got a picture taken by some chick, so now I dont have to get a digital camera to give a picture to online friends. Rock on.

So that day was just purely awesome..

Thennn saturday, I hung out with some friends at a coffee house, after helping them move..

annnd..

Sunday I went and saw Flight Plan with some new friends, one of which came to the concert with us. She is Ashley and quite cool. I always like meeting new people..

So then we went back to her house and watched another movie and had pizza.
We also did some prank calls (we're not 12, I swear). It was basically just me calling this new friend's friends and sounding gay (which I do very well for some reason..) and like.. coming on to them and stuff.. One guy threatened me pretty good.. It was fun. >_>

Well, thats all for now. Back to work I go.

Auuugh!

Oh my gawd. Work has been horrible lately. This week, we are moving to a new location, and we have three guys including myself to move the entire store. This means lots and lots of boxes of huge heavy bolts, among other things. Yesterday, I was almost constantly lifting 150+ lbs boxes over my head onto a huge truck to move everything. That has been doing a number on my back/neck. It doesnt help either that my neck is still kinda messed up from whiplash..

But other than that things have been going halfway decent lately. I like the new apartment we've moved to.. Its got a gas fireplace and stuff. Pretty sweet.

Oh and we went hiking again last weekend. It was nice. We hiked up to the fifth waterfall.. Theres seven total, I think... Cool stuff.

OH! And this friday, none of you will ever guess.. So Ill tell you:

I am going to a Coldplay concert! OMFG! I saw them a long time ago at HFStival, which they, among many others, rocked hard. So I'm excited. Yay!

Good times.

My friend Josh came to see me at work today.. It is just me here all day by my lonesome, so we raced around the store in the desk chairs, and whatnot. I love my job.

Ahmmagad!

I was on the way to work this morning, and I was changing CDs like any other time.. And when I glanced back up at the road mid-way through the change, a deer was right in front of me. I barely had time to move slightly to the left. At least I didn't hit him head on I guess.. But he broke my headlight. The bastard. Pissed me off..

I swear I'm gonna go upside someones head.

I'm starting to really get adgitated with my two friends I mentioned in my previous entry. Noooow guess what? I found out they're going camping this weekend, and I had been talking to them specifically about going camping. Although, it's a 'family' trip, they're having a couple of extra people, like Josh (one of the two, ben is the one who's family is having the trip) and a family of chicks who went with them to Kings Dominion last weekend.. and not me.
Am I being replaced by these new girls? That's what it feels like.
But my question is this.. Should I bitch to them so they know it hurts my feelings, or let it go?
See, first I think Ill let it go, cause there's prolly a good reason that I cant go. Like theres only enough space for a couple extra people.. But if that's the case, why would they have those other people instead of me? (I've been closer to both Josh and Ben for a lot longer than these other girls)

I dunno. I'm thinking It'll be healthier if I just let it go and do something else this weekend with some other friends and stop worrying about it.

Oh and I have a cold. Blah for me. :(

My legs hurt..

Omfg, I went hiking this weekend for the first time all year. It was great. The weather was perfect, not too warm but not too cold.. I had almost forgotten how relaxing it is just to go walk, take in the scenary, smell the mountain air..

I got to think, too.. I'm finally starting to enjoy life like I used to. I do my best not to fret over the little things.. its not worth the time and energy. Why not just say 'eh, whatever' and get over it and enjoy life? Some things need to be resolved, sure. But take this weekend for example. My two best friends went to Kings Dominion with another group of people, and left me high and dry. Didnt say a word about it to me.. Sure I was hot for a couple hours after I found out, but I had a good time hiking with some other friends of mine. I even got to meet some new people, who were pretty cool. So why not try and make the best of the situation? I've been through too much crap in the last few months to let the little things bother me.
So the next step is to make the best of my parents splitting up. At least my mom will be happy. At least I'll live in town, within walking distance of some nice places to get breakfast.. only a couple minutes from the theater.. and as long as I get transfered to the branch in Culpeper, I wont even be 5 minutes from work.
So maybe things will work out alright.. Ill hafta wait and see I guess.

OMG ENTRY!

Wow, I didn't think I'd ever really use this account other than to read my friends live journal, but here I am, needing to vent.

My parents recently split up.. I was taking it very well and all, until the past week. I mean, nothing changed until we moved. And dad freaked out. So everything is very stressful.. I've already yelled at one of my friends, and HE tried to help ME out by telling me I'm just under a lot of stress. I dont think that justified the way I yelled at him, but I guess that makes him a good friend or something for being so nice and understanding.
But shit does it suck. I thought for the first few weeks that I was taking it great, that I'm old enough at least to realize whats going on. But I guess it just hadn't hit me yet. Mom says she just wants a trial seperation for a year or so, but the way she talks about the situation, it sounds like she just wants to prep dad for the divorce. :\

So I just moved with my mom into town, we have a 2 bed room apartment. It's pretty nice, I bought m'self a new TV for my room, and some new furniture and whatnot.At least my room is bigger now, heh.

One of the biggest stressful items on the list is how my dad is going to react, long term. If there will be a long term, anyway. It's kinda weird, he seems really stable, but mom says he's been suicidal since he was in 7th grade. His childhood sucked apparently. But now that he doesnt have mom, I dont know what hes gonna do. Maybe I wont think about it so much after getting it off my chest like this.. Wishful thinking.

It's nice to get all this off my chest without pushing the whole load on one person. Now its evenly distributed to a bunch of strangers. Good stuff.
