I just deleted my Stalkerbook account. And this will be my last livejournal entry.

MOVE IN DAY

2006-08-01T03:42:55Z

Less than a day until I move into the apartment.

My heart patters with love.

I got bangs.

KITTY!!!

2006-07-05T03:55:30Z

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a smashing 4th of July. I had a good one, a pretty memorable one at that. Well, I stopped by my friend's house and FINALLY got the pix of the cat everyone longs to see. I think I'm going to name her Momo (it's a long story, involving Kim and an afternoon of tivo'ed The Avatar). Yes, Kim apparently is still alive and doing well so I'm very happy. Hung out on Sunday which was awesome because I've missed her a lot. I also miss my DC girls, who I hope are doing well. Call me sometimes, you busy girls!

Ok, without further ado, Momo's pics:

She's got the most gorgeous eyes, a beautiful green color you can't really see in this pix because of the reflection of the flash...
And look at her little tuft of white fur!

Does she meet everyone's approval?

A poem

2006-06-13T05:48:20Z

Here's something I wrote thinking about B-. Any thoughts would be good.

"b"

climbed into a burnt out cab
with a cigarette yesterday
nobody knew the reason
no one had any say
in the juxtaposition of
my comings and goings anyway

in the grass i laid out
sixteen stones
to keep us safe
mushroom fairy circles
with a dandelion grace

superimposed flat daffodils
glancing in your wake
and you would never know
the sorrow that overtook
and the undertow that quakes

like a water fountain gnat
you swam along my shore
skimming those glass wings
around my open door
and who was that shadow
that you stopped to adore?

i dont know, i dont know
anymore

boy problems...

2006-06-07T05:10:50Z

...big surprise.

It's not a problem, per se, more like ranting that I'd like to do. So there is a guy a really like at work. He's sort of like my boss, an assistant manager of sorts. We will refer to him as "B". Ok, so "B" is funny, quiet, sarcastic...and absolutely adorable. He's tall and lanky with blue eyes and dark hair with a black belt in Taekwondo. He knows a couple of Korean phrases and has tried kimchee. Yes, he is awesome.

Or so he seemed.

So here's the problem. It turns out he is "dating" a co-worker who is mean, petty, ugly, obnoxious, and manipulative. And she's not really skinny either. I'm not saying those things because I'm jealous, those are facts. Ask people that know her. I really don't understand what he could possibly see in her. "B" is 26, she is my age. I really don't understand it and it really upsets me because he's great.

Why, why, WHY would he date her? And (more importantly) if he can date her, what do you think are the chances he'd date me?

A warm Krispy Kreme doughnut to the persons who can answer these significant questions.

Training Day

2006-05-23T05:58:54Z

On my training day, I worked a good 8 hours. I'd say that was impressive. I'll probably be working 7 tomorrow. The job itself is very easy, at least right now with school still in session and it being a schoolday. I've been promised this Monday and Tuesday off so I am very happy that I get to see my girls (who I have missed the second they all left). The work seems simple enough but the people are all very...interesting, for wont of a better word. I swear, the strangest people work at movie theatres.

Well, it's almost 2am and if I've gotta get up to run with Amerz, I need my beauty sleep (haha).

Much lurve,
The Duckstress

Dinosaurs and "Honey"

2006-05-14T03:33:34Z

Man, do people remember that disturbing Dinosaur sitcom that came on during primetime? Apparently they've been releasing boxsets of the seasons...I'm a little disturbed.

Speaking of disturbing, I have a penchant for Mandy Moore movies. Yes, it makes me shiver too. I'm just saying.

Jessica Alba is half Mexican. That is why she is such a bronzen goddess. HA! No white person could have been that naturally tan. Her brother also played a Chinese guy in a random movie...

C-Town Update

2006-05-13T02:43:54Z

I suppose it's a good a time as any to update. Life's been pretty hectic at this point, a jigsaw puzzle I have to fit an amazingly good bit of stuff into a short time. Already at home I have: blew almost all my money on presents (for my mom and Jessa's b-day), food, and gas. It's pretty lousy since I spent very little of it on me. I'm being petulant. I guess it don't help that everyone's been waking me up, chipper and talkative, at 9AM. Thus far, no job. Crossroads 20 guy failed to inform either me or Amy that he, in fact, could not set up an interview because he is on his honeymoon. He, in fact, could inform no one lower than the store managers because I kept getting conflicting times as to when to call him. UGH!!! I have been over to visit my granny, who seems to be in good spirits despite the time of year (granddaddy died May 11th of last year). I'm really going to start my diet tomorrow (REALLY!). I made Dean's List for last semester which is exciting, haven't done that since first semester of freshman year. I put in applications at two other cinemas, and watched a rather boring 20/20 thing on what should have been about Grey's Anatomy. It sucked.

Forecast for the weekend: mildly bleak.
Tomorrow I've got to get up early-ish, pick up Jamie from tutoring, and then go to Chapel Hill to work at the Daily Grind for a couple of hours. Then back home to clean this awful room for a little bit. On Sunday, we're all going to my granny's house for Mother's Day, where I get to see all my younger skinny cousins talk about their boyfriends. It makes me feel old and pathetic. But at least I'm doing well in school. That's always been the excuse for my not having a boyfriend. Yes, I'm bitter. Very, very bitter.

Hope everyone is having a stress-free summer (even though I know with some of you, it's not possible)! Miss everyone and love everyone lots.

oh what a night

My hair smells like ash and my lungs are raw. You better believe this is what I came to Carolina for.

Angry. And I don't even have a reason to be.
