"Stranger than your sympathy and this is my apology.  I'm killing myself from the inside out and all my fears have pushed you out.  And I wished for things that I don’t need and what I chased won’t set me free.  And I get scared but I’m not crawlin’ on my knees.  Oh, yeah.  Everything’s all wrong, yeah.  Everything’s all wrong, yeah.  Where the hell did I think I was?  And stranger than your sympathy, I take these things, so I don’t feel.  I’m killing myself from the inside out and now my head’s been filled with doubt.  We’re taught to lead the life you choose.  You know your love’s run out on you and you can’t see when all your dreams are coming true.  Oh, yeah,  it’s easy to forget, yeah, when you choke on the regrets, yeah.  Who the hell did I think I was?  And stranger than your sympathy and all these thoughts you stole from me.  And I’m not sure where I belong and no where’s home and no more wrong.  And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was and I wouldn’t be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted.  And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me.  Stranger than your sympathy." -"Sympathy" Goo Goo Dolls

I really don't know anymore...

I have nothing let to say...

"How can I go home with nothing to say, when I know you're going to look at me that way and say 'what did you do out there?  What did you decided?  You said you needed time well you had time.'  You are a china shop and I am a bull.  You are really good food and I am full.  I guess everything is timing.  I guess everything's been said so I am going home with an empty head.  You'll say 'did they love you or what?'  I'll say 'they love what I do.'  The only one who really loves me is you and you'll say 'girl did you kick some butt' and I'll say 'I don't really remember' but my fingers are sore and my voice is too.  You'll say 'it's really good to see you.'  You'll say 'I've missed you horribly.'  You'll say 'let me carry that, give that to me.'  And you will take the heavy stuff and you will drive the car and I'll look out the window and make jokes about the way things are.  How can I go home with nothing to say, when I know you're going to look at me and say 'what did you do out there?  What did you decided?  You said you needed time and you had time.'  You had time." -"You Had Time" Ani DiFranco

Okay ::deep breath:: here is everything that has happened since my last post.

Once school finished up, I moved back to Savannah for the summer.  I ended up moving in with Ashley sortly after classes finished.  I continued to work at the Sand Gnats waitressing and pouring beer.  My frustration for the Sand Gnats this season is unrivaled.  Any previous season that I thought was bad can not compare.  Things were so disorganized that it drove me insane but I digress.  I found that I still had a lot of spare time and I found myself rather bored so I decided to get a second job.  I was hired at Barnes as a server.  I worked there for about a month before I decided I could not take it anymore.  I was there from 9:30 every morning until 5:00 each night and I worked 5 to 6 days a week and the tips did not reflect the amount of work that I had to do.  They were very upset when I quit but oh well.

My summer began to improve when I talked to Mike (one of the managers at Chilis) and he said that I could probably get a job working there as a server.  And in the end, I did get a job at Chili's and I was happy.  This happened around the beginning of July I think.  Chilis is a million times better place to work than Barnes.

In mid-July, Ashley and I took a trip down to Florida to go see Cirque de Soleil for our anniversary.  The trip was pretty fun considering everything we did while we were there.  We went to Islands of Adventure and Margaritaville.  Cirque de Soleil was absolutely amazing.  It had to be one of the coolest performances I have ever seen.  It was worth every penny and if you have never seen it, go!  It is wicked good.  On a less happy note, shortly after the vacation, Ashley and I broke up.  I'm not going to go into the details.  You already know the details if I wanted to talk about it.

To answer anyone's next question, yes, I am seeing someone else now.  His name is Jonathan and I met him through Chilis.  He is a theatre major at Armstrong and will be graduating in the Spring.  He and I have had a lot of fun together so far and I'm hoping that the good times will continues.  I am really happy with the way things are right now.

This is kind of where I am now.  I am back at Georgia Southern for my senior year.  I am taking 9 hours this semester and I will be taking 14 hours next semester.  I will graduate in the Spring with an Honors B.A. in Philosophy with a double minor in Theatre and Religious Studies.  I am currently working on my honors thesis with Dr. Drake (the new philosophy professor).  I am doing research on Sartre and I am going to talk about philosophical themes in his literature.

I think that is all for now.  Hopefully I will try to update a little more often but it has been difficult not having internet access in my apartment.

"Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down, I just stared out my window, dreaming of what could be and if I'd end up happy.  I would pray.  Trying not to reach out but when I'd try to speak out it felt like no one could hear me.  Wanted to belong here but something felt so wrong here so I pray:  I could breakaway.  I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.  I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky.  I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway.  Out of the darkness and into the sun but I won't forget all the ones that I loved.  I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway.  Wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree, feel the rush of the ocean.  Get onboard a fast train, travel on a jet plane, far away and breakaway.  I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.  I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky.  I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway.  Out of the darkness and into the sun but I won't forget all the ones that I loved.  I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway." -Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway"
