Assorted

I am totally impressed with Bank of America. I have a credit card with them and the bar Malone's charged me twice when I was there a few weeks ago. Well I call in and it takes me forever to get throught the automated system. When I finally do it tells me there is an 18 minute wait to talk to a rep. so I'm like holy shit and just put my phone on speaker. then less than one minute later I get someone! But thats not the impressive part. I tell her what happened and she's tells me okay the amount will be credited to your account by the next billing cycle. How cool. I totally expected to have to jump through hoops and I almost didn't call b/c I didn't want to deal with the hassle. Who knows, I'm just glad it was easy.

Anyways, I'm not happy to be back at school. I totally needed a longer summer. Oh well. I have one class that seems so easy it's ridiculous, one that scares me, and one where I think the material will be hard but the teacher seems nice. Oh, I 2 more I haven't been to yet so we'll see.

I also realized that I forgot to follow up on the dex issue. He finally came over to get his stuff and we did the friend thing. I didn't say anything to him because it was obvious by then he considered us over and I didn't really want to talk about it anyway, but it was also obvious that he still liked me. Then later on while we were both out at different bars we were texting and I ultimately got one saying "blah blah if you could have come we would have had fun together tonight as friends, as much as that sucks itself on it's own" and I said that wasn't all my decision, and he said it pretty much was yadda yadda. Finally we get around to actually talking and he tells me something like he just thought I wanted to be free to do whatever I wanted for the summer and he expected that we would just get back together when he got back form New Jersey. Now I still love him, but he seemed almost excited to be breaking up and I thought it was over. In May I didn't think he would have even considered getting back together. when he got back. So I spent the entire summer getting over him and I although I still love him, I don't think it would work out in the long run. And why get back together only to break up and put us both through this again. Anyway, that's pretty much the story.

Oh, and while I'm on the topic of boys, I need new advice- prefferably from the boys. I can't tell if I'm getting blown off or if the guy I like really is just uber busy. He really seemed to like me at first and then, in literally a snap he went from hot to cold. I haven't even talked to him in 3 days and about a week before that we only talked about necessary stuff. What do you think?

Behold the power of WOMEN!!!

first of all I thought I'd catch you all up on the Dex situation since I had been asking for advice, for which I am thankful for. I've talked (well texted him) since and I think he was just fucking around with me before. Which is evil considering I nearly had a heart attack at 21. Either that or our friends told him; but you would think that if he really didn't know we broke up, that he would call me if someone else told him we did. I mean seriously if you were just haging out with some friends (thinking about your girlfriend that you hadn't seen or spoken with in three months) and your buddy mentions "hey I'm so sorry about you and Rachel- that really sucks man" you would be a little confused, and maybe call said girlfriend up and ask why everyone else thought you weren't together. Or maybe thats just a little too logical for a guy.
Either way ultinately things seem to have worked out well. Before he left we were hardly together and he seemed excited to break up. Texting the other day we were actually nice to each other, imagine that. Anyways, I will have the final word a little later this week. He is coming by to pick up his stuff and we're going to go do something and catch up. Now onward and away to the post!

Behold the power of WOMEN!!!!!

Okay, so I've decided that yes- there is quite a bit of gender discrimination in the real world especially in the workforce. And I guess as a woman I should be angry about this, but I've decided that first of all there is plenty of other discriminations that guys have to surpass and second that I am a force to be recond with in the business world and dont plan on letting something so trivial get in my way of life or work.

But back to the point; while there is some serious discrimination, their are some fantabulous perks. For example, renting a pool table plus buying 4 cherry vodka sours at the bricktown brewery last night cost $3. Amazzzing huh? I love being a women, everything about being a women (except maybe the whole giving birth issue, but thankfully- not a problem yet) I love having doors held open; I love not having to like or understand cars and sports; I love that we can dress up or down and still be gorgeous; I love that we always get the final say- well at least when they love us we do; I love it all. For all you guys I have to be sorry, I know there are many perks to being a guy, but I still have to think that we are the lucky ones!

yea!!! booo!

YEA!!!
Hey guys; this first part is extremely belatedly however I did not want to forget all together to say that I appreciate everyone who came over last week. As sad as the weather was, I had a blast! Also, I have a blue pocket knife from the night that had yet to be claimed.

Booo!
Second, I have a 5 to 10 page paper over my internship; not double spaced!!! WTF? What do they want me to ramble on about for 10 to 20 pages? Anyways, that’s due on Wednesday and I think I work every day until then. So, fuck. Then again it isn’t letter graded, are they really going to give me an I or U if I hand in a shit paper. Either way I still have to say something coherent, again for 10 pages! Anyway, I have a paper to BS so I’ll talk to you all later.

hmmm, I started this blog in word and pasted it over here so I'm not really sure why the paragraphs are in different fonts?

Men!

Okay, I meant to do this right after Crystal’s rant but I got busy and Diana beat me to it but I have to continue on with the “boys” “boyz” rant. I know this is going to be long buy I REALLY need some help. To start out with, crystal you are very right about it being an act of god to get any male to talk about his feelings. Unless, YOUR WITH 20 FRIENDS AT A PARTY YOUR HOSTING. OMG!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever used that acronym before but it is definitely needed here. Then, it the previous situation they won’t shut up or let it go. What the hell. We’re suppose to just let it go all the time because they font like talking about it but when they want to; WOAA what a different story. And if you refuse to talk then they just sulk and pout and be a freaking jerk until they get their way. And I apologize to any guy to which this doesn’t pertain to; I am just speaking out of experience.

Okay, that was the end of the ranting section and here is the begging of my colossal confusion that was brought on about an hour ago.

First of all a little back story:

Most of you know me and Dex broke up in May. Well, it wasn’t verbal, but I am POSITIVE that we both understood. The way it happened was that we had a huge 2 week not speaking to each other fight over something insanely trivial and finally wrote an e-mail saying “blah blah, blah, I assume your leaving for New Jersey again this summer so we should make the most out of the time we have because if you leave I don’t want to stay together this time. Blah, blah” Then I got an e-mail back saying “blah, blah, your right about me leaving for New Jersey again. Blah, blah” and we made up, he left and didn’t call me for this entire summer. I called him on his birthday and spoke to him for about ten minutes but that was about it. Now I don’t really want to go into how I am sure that he understood this and considered us broken up but I am sure he did.

Now to recent events:

Earlier I got a Facebook message reading:
“when did you get a new camara? looks like your having alot of fun. I did notice how ever something wrong with a few photos and something missing entierly from others. I'll be back in a few days. I'm in Dallas visiting my family and Shelby. I'll talk to you later.
Love Ya”

And I responded:
“I bought it a week ago last friday as a treat for finishing up my internship. I love it so much!!!. I was debating between an ipod and dock or a camera and I'm really happy I got the camera. I still have a ton a pics to post up but they only let you post so many per album and I didn't want to take the time to make a seperate one. I didn't notice anything wrong with the pics, I'll have to go back and look at them. Tell Shelby we miss him. See you soon. love ya” I wasn’t sure about the love ya, but we didn’t really break up on a bad note and I always will and he said it so I said it too.

Now where the confusion comes in is that I come back form the bar to this message:

“thats cool. there isn't anything wrong with the way the pictures look. I was talking about your ring being backwards in a few and not on your hand at all in a few others.”

For any who don’t know a few years ago he gave me a claddagh ring which if worn one way means I’m taken and if worn the other means I’m not. Now I can’t see any pics with a clear view of the ring at all but I’m not entirely sure what the “backwards way” he’s talking about is. Is the “taken” way backwards or the “single” way backwards? After breaking up I had a lot of trouble wearing my ring the single way because I had had it on the other way so long but I didn’t think I had any pictures taken that way, and none that I see. Anyways, I’m really tempted to ask him what the “backwards” way is but I’m really nervous. I haven’t done anything really “bad” but I have thought of myself as single for an entire summer and flirted and kissed “boy”. Now, I really don’t think I want to get back together with him but I’m not a cheating type of girl and it really bothers me that what I’ve done could somehow be considered cheating. Anyway, this is what I ended up writing back:

“Wow, I don't know what pics your talking about because I can only see my own right hand in two. But, I am wearing the ring my aunt and uncle gave me for graduation instead now. I think the two pics I could see my hand in were from 7 47 and I wasn't wearing any jewelry at all then because we were at the pool for the day. Anyways, I work in 5 hours so I'll ttyl.”

Now I know it isn’t straight forward but I think it gets the message across. Anyways, I really need some comments so tell me what you think.

My life sucks!

Not really, but it's just my luck that it's raining!!! I couldn't plan for rain so far in advance but it had only raind e few times the entire summer so I thought I was safe, but no. Anyways, party's still on, pool's a no go unless the rain clears up but we can still drink and what not here. Love ya

Directions

OK, so I finally changed my relationship status on Facebook. Sounds stupid but it was definitely awkward since we had been together so long, it feels so final. Not that that’s bad, just hard. I guess I was curious if he would change it. Anyways, here are some directions to my apartment. I tried to make them uber specific for anyone bad w/directions. Any ?’s or if you get lost on the way then call me. Also, I believe I have mentioned this before, but just in case- No glass bottles and bring your drinks in a cooler if you have one. Also, does anyone know if meo or renee are coming? See you Thursday!!!
