Cemetery man-Monday

2009-07-06T17:19:00.000-07:00

Work was blah, actually went by pretty quick for a Monday. Drew picked me up had ordered Rice Wok to surprise Drew with. He had some weird movies his friends wanted to watch called Cemetery Man starring a very young Rupert Evertt. The movie was bizarre. Talked a lot more to Drew about nothing really. On the way for him to drop me off we stopped at Wal-greens to pick up a razor and some Epsom salts for Kason. After Drew dropped me off we talked on the phone till I just couldn't stay awake any longer.

Ok Have totally neglected my blog due to work, will try to catch up on everything.

Saturday June 27th
Drew came home late :( He loved the room though said it feels more like our room now. Talked for a bit, tried to go to bed, nomt really tired. Eventually fell asleep, got at 1 so Drew could do his Sun thing, went and grabbed food as there is nothing in this house to eat must go shopping tomorrow. Took a shower then Drew went to work. Spent all night watching watching movies are crap waiting for drew to get home, decided to break up his boring day by sending some semi raunchy photos to Drew.

Wait I thought this was red?

2009-06-27T00:27:00.000-07:00

Everybody wanted me to work on special projects today, it was nice to escape the addresses. Ran to wal-greens to pick up the picture so I could give it to Drew. Ran to Gwen's to let Pucca out but she wasn't having any of me. Ran home grabbed my bag and left with Drew. We decided to have McDonalds for lunch. Went to the apt. goofed off on the facebook, made Drew take the How well do you know me quiz he got 75% I made him make one too. I got 58%. :( Gave Drew the frame, he loved it! Also the urban outfitters art shirt I ordered came in so I gave that to him as well. We hung out, even took a little nap and then I made his lunch. I put a little card I had and some gummy bears into his lunch. We kissed good-bye and he went to work. I immediately put on my iPod turned it to Nsync and started cleaning. I decided to rearrange the room and really clean it as a surprise for Andrew, I hope he likes it. Watched the first 2 episodes of TrueBlood season 2, Man they were crazy. Told Drew he needs to start watching TrueBlood so we can talk about it. Used my Hi-Rez hair dye to go redder but I don't see a difference :(. Watching Netflix and texting back and forth with Drew. Gonna make some scrambled eggs and try to stay up till Drew gets home.

Proposal

2009-06-27T00:01:00.000-07:00

Not George today, work sucked have a new project I have to start, it's entering in 5900 addresses into a spreadsheet. Ordered Jimmy Johns to surprise Andrew with when he picks me up, he's been talking about it a lot since we use to eat it all the time and he hasn't found one where he lives. Andrew came and got me and we headed to the apt. I surprised him with the sandwiches and he was very excited to eat it. We hung out and talked and goofed around on facebook. Drew dropped me off at Gwen's so we could go to the movies. We went and saw the proposal, it was hilarious. Then we went to Barnes and Noble so i could grab some drawing stuff, a frame and a wedding magazine for Gwen. Gwen ran me to my house real quick so I could grab my cam to print out a pic at wal-greens. Before wal-greens we decided to stop by iHop for dinner, apparently it was American Idol wannabe night in the hop cause everyone kept busting out into song. Mom called wanted me to pick her up some ensure from wal-greens told her no prob. Forgot I needed my converter to be able to print pics at wal-greens ended up grabbing the ensure and some peanut brittle for Drew. Gwen dropped me off and I started cleaning my room and packing for the weekend at Drew's. My mom came in and I let her know I was spending the weekend out there and everything and she told me she asked my dad to move out. She caught him talking to his ex-wife and even making plans to see her when he's in Puerto Rico in August. He told her it was nothing but everything didn't match up. My mom said this isn't the first time something like this happened. She doesn't want him to go but she's not gonna let him be there messing around on her. I told her if he does move out I'll rotate staying there and with Drew and Drew can come stay at the house sometimes so she doesn't have to be alone in the house. Talked to Drew before I went at 2am, man I'm going to be tired tomorrow.

Picture going in the frame

Thank you, but I know what I'm doing

2009-06-25T06:14:00.000-07:00

Work was crazy, George helped out with phones again. Went home and Drew picked me up for lunch. We went to the cheesecake factory cause Drew had never been and it was amazing. Then we walked next door to Barnes and Noble to see if they had some books Drew needs to read. Since he treated use to lunch I treated us to books. Then he drove me home we said goodbye and I went inside and took a quick nap. Gwen called wanting to go to the movies and came and picked me up at about 6:40. Got to the mall and the theater was crazy, we forgot it was opening night for transformers so we decided to walk around instead. Ended up getting some goodies fro American Eagle and Aerie. The we decided to try out his place called Mimi's Cafe, it was kind of liek good southern Orlens cooking, it was awesome! Gwen dropped me off at home at about 11pm. Was trying on the new bra I got when my mom did the whole knock as you're walking in thing and wanted to talk about my Andrew situation. Ended up taking to here for almost 30 mins in my doorway in my new bra. She was really worried that Drew is taking advantage of me and that he would repeat his previous actions. I kept assuring her it's not the way it use to be and that I'm not letting him off the hook easily. I just kept letting her know I know what I'm doing. Called Drew to let him know what had just went down and then went and took a shower. Practiced some of my doodling from the book I bought. Talked one last time to Drew and then went to bed.

Doodle that ended up looking like Drew

George

2009-06-25T05:55:00.000-07:00

SO work was going pretty ok and then Little George showed up. He decided to answer phones all day and was even talking online ot my friends as me, luckily Sabrina could tell that wasn't me. Drew picked me up for lunch and we went to Red Robin cause we'd never eatin there before. While there he called to check on practice and something weird was going on so we decided to go back to the apartment instead. Power ended up going out so we drove around Dallas with Kason. It was getting late and we were kind of lost and I was seriously worried. Ended up getting back to the apartment just fine around 10pm. My mom called at like 10:30 to be all where are you, cause she hadn't seen me all day. I told her I was out and she was like where so I was like Andrew's and she was all why are you there, and very UGH. So we ended up having it out right there on the phone and I told her I'd be home around Midnight. After that I just had to distract myself so I went into the Kitchen and made all of us some omelets. We all then went outside and talked for a bit until it was time for me to leave. Drew and I stopped by his mom's house first to pick up the journal and I read it aloud to Drew as he drove me home. Said good night to each other and made plans for lunch the next day.

Target and Smokes

2009-06-24T07:05:00.000-07:00

Woke up and walked into the kitchen Dad completely ignored me and instead spoke to my dog. Work was seriously blah. Got home ran inside to change to really quick, Dad was actually friendly to me, it was strange but much better than silence. Drew picked me up and we went to his place so we could go shopping. Asked him if he thought Kason might like to go and he did so we all piled into the van and left. First we went to Target and got some stuff for the house and then we went to a cigarette shop to find something Kason needed but they didn't have it. Then we drove out to Arlington so we could go to Fry's cause I needed a memory card for my phone. Then we went to a different cigarette shop to find the stuff. After that we headed back to the house. Drew and I just hung out and talked all night, Kason went to the bar, so i made Drew and I sandwiches for dinner. We talked some more and then it was time for me to go home, it keeps getting harder and harder to say good by.

Father's Day

2009-06-24T06:28:00.000-07:00

Got up around 10 and talked to Drew some more. Started to get ready so I could go back to my house. Ended up leaving around 1 and stopped at Wal-Greens on the way home cause I needed to get a bag for the GPS I ended up getting my dad. As soon as I walked int he door my dad was standing right there and immediately was like "you live here you sleep here, you can't stay at anyone's house ever!" I was seriously like WTF and just continued walking to my room. I called Drew and told him what he said and then there was a long pause, and I was like what's your look? He was like my look is ridiculous, and I was like huh and he was like Move in with me. I was like what?! He was like move in with me, and I was like I don't know there's so that has to go into that before I can make a decision. He had to go to a meeting, so I went and took a shower. Then I texted Gwen to see where she was at. I met her up at target, and told her all about what happened. We went to walmart and walgreens and then back to her house to watch Army wives. I got home around 11 and called Drew. We talked some more about the moving in thing and I told him some stipulations I had before anything could happen and he agreed to them so I said ok, and he was like ok? and I go OK so he was like you're moving in?! and I was like Yup and he was all "HAPPY DANCE!" lol We talked till 1 in the morning and then I went to bed.

Seeing the Parents

2009-06-24T06:09:00.000-07:00

Never really went to bed due to all the texting. Got out of bed though around 630 to shower and get ready to go to Drew's. Left at 7 and got there early, had to wait for him to get there so I could get in the gate. Drew didn't even tell Kason I was coming over so it was a bit of a shock to him. Got upstairs and started talking, Drew just looked like he was in so much pain, he kept saying how glad he was that I was there and how much he was sorry for everything. We talked about how he came to his current state but started to get tired so we went to bed. Got up around 2 cause we needed to go to the Library to pick up a book for my mom cause I told her I'd do it for her. We drove to walmart first cause my hair looked crazy and being that he's a boy with short hair he didn't have a brush. Picked up some other crap and then we headed out to Arlington. Got the book dropped it off at my house and told my dad I'd be late. Headed back to Dallas and stopped at McDonalds on the way for lunch. Ended up talking more, then around 8 he called his parents to see if they were awake and going to be up for a bit cause he never dropped off the mother's day or father's day stuff I had bought for them. I felt fine the whole way there until we turned onto the main street, then the nerves hit me. Drew unlocked the door and went into the house, I stopped to lock the door back up and as I was doing it I could hear his parents saying HI to him and looking at the gifts, then I rounded the corner and they saw me and you could tell they were shocked by my presence. We stayed for a bit and made general small talk with them. Drew and I left and stopped at walmart for some fruit to snack on, while we watched movies. Drove back out to Dallas and talked about how awkward that just was. Got to his place and decided to talk more instead of watching the movies. Started to get tired around 1 and then at 130 my Dad called to be like you coming home? I was like no I'm gonna spend the night out here, and he was like oh where are you at Gwen's? and I was like well actually I'm at Andrew's he angrily said OK and then hung up on me. I turned to Drew and was like dude my Dad is pisssssssed Drew was like I was afraid of that. I was like ugh whatever I'll deal with it tomorrow and we went to bed.

Friday the 19th

2009-06-24T05:47:00.000-07:00

Work was pretty blah, we did have an ice cream party at work to celebrate the beginning of summer. Called Gwen to see if she wanted to go to Hobby Lobby since I needed to look for some sequins. Actually ended up going with my mom, and Gwen met us up there. I picked up some art supplies for my dad since father's day was coming up. Then we went to Joanns cause we couldn't find everything at Hobby Lobby. Then we drove around and talked about John. Gwen dropped me off at home and then I was texting Drew about coming to get the chair form my house and when he was gonna drop off the journal. We ended up texting all night, joke flirting, and talking about the past and he kept sasking can I see you so can I see you I finally gave in and said yes. I agreed to drive out to his place around 7 am when he was getting off of work.

Hangover and shirts

2009-06-19T06:45:00.000-07:00

Work was so boring, the day seriously dragged by. Got out of work and met Gwen and G-Ma at Cost-Co. Went to TJ Maxx and Academy but couldn't find anything. Went back to Cost-Co to get meds and Gwen got hot dogs and a chicken bake. Drew called said he was done with the next entry and he wanted to drop it off, told him to leave it on my porch or something. D texted me, he has been working a lot and it's stressing him out. :( Dropped of my car at Gwen's and then we went to the mall so we could see The Hangover. We saw Gwen's old crush as we were walking into the mall, it was awkward and hilarious. Got a piece of pizza and then went into the movies. Hangover was hilarious, GO SEE IT! Got out decided to go see what AE had since Gwen had some free gift cards and I had a 10 bucks off card. We each got a shirt and sunglasses and Gwen got a bag and it was all free thanks to our cards! Walked around the mall some more went into Anchor Blue got Gwen and I a shirt and I got some hair crap. Drove past my house to get the book, couldn't find it anywhere turns out my parents had already grabbed it. lol Drove around with Gwen talking, got home at about 10:30. Someone locked the garage door so I couldn't get in, was forced to ring the door bell and wake my parents up. Wrote back to Drew let him know I was done so he could come pick it up in the AM. Found out the other journal holders are his Mom, Dad, Uncle John, his best friend Nik and his new friend Kenneth. In his entry he said the project started with me, not sure how I feel about that. He also signed his entry with something we use to say to each other, like a secret code type of thing, I told him he's not aloud to say that to me anymore. Turned off my lamp and fell asleep listening to my iPod.

Gotta Work!

2009-06-18T05:58:00.000-07:00

Work was crazy. This whole week has been completely out of wack. Got home talked to Bri over the computer. She made fun of the way I say sandwich. lol Can't wait till she comes to visit. :D Went with Gwen to get some stuff for her teeth, her dentist told her she didn't need to get her top wisdom teeth out but now they are trying to come in and pushing her other teeth. Freakin dentist. Went to Chickfila for brownies! Then had a club sandwich at the Cheesecake Factory. Had to go to joanns to get some crap, then to the Post Office to drop off mail. Went home early and put on my new workout clothes and started to work out. The one day I choose not to workout at like 11 o clock everyone shows up and wants to see what I'm doing. Finally got my workout on without on lookers. Not only did I do my regular Medium Intensity workout I did a 40 minute hard workout. I feel GREAT! My legs were killing me but I felt amazing. Took a shower and just passed right out. WOOHOO for gettin fit!

I thought Monday's were suppose to be bad

2009-06-17T05:47:00.000-07:00

Ok so My Tuesday started out pretty normal, got up was still really tired managed to get to work and started working on the computer. Then I got a text from D which I was like HOLY CRAP it's early, turns out he had an appointment at 6:30 so he was up early. In the middle of us texting my phone rings, its the ex. I'm like wtf this is weird we haven't talked in like a month, so of course i answer and I'm all like heeelllllooo??? He wants to drop of something he says and will be at my job in 20minutes, I'm like ok see you then. The aforementioned letter was what I got inside a hard back journal. After reading the letter I sort of wept and then I went to write my response but for some reason after writing his name I was filled with a tremendous rage. I scrawled 2 pages worth and then apon re-reading his letter I was like no you don't get to hear from me and ripped the pages out and instead wrote: I have nothing to say you're the one that needs to talk. Vee. Then I had a nice break until 10am, D was back from his appointment and acting strange saying crazy things and causing more drama I'm like seriously can I go home get back into bed a try again tomorrow. We continued talking and it got better but something still feels off. Went home finished my letter to D and then my computer started being a butt and word kept crashing, of course I hadn't saved my letter in awhile so I was freakin out. Gwen came home we went to dinner and I told her all the drama. Knowing the ex has band practice on Tuesday we drove by and I dropped off the book on his windshield, not sure if he got it or not but eh I delivered it. Continued to drive around talking, went home and managed to fight my computer for the freakin letter but by the time I was done it was 1am.

My response:

Monday

2009-06-16T21:34:00.001-07:00

Went driving around saw a coyote, starting possible making plans to go to Phx for X-mas. Was up writing till late, I really need to get bed earlier.

Random Letter on Tuesday from the person this Blog isn't suppose to be about

2009-06-16T07:53:00.000-07:00

To
Veronica
and To
Andrew
A record of understanding

Cara
this book is one of six i have given to people of varying importance in my life
the idea is that we can respond to each others letters within the same journal
i have decided to do this because there are many people whom i claim to know yet when i really ask myself i have to say"do i really know them?"
i have chosen to a written format for a couple of reasons, the first of which is that i feel it is much more personal than the more mediated forms of communication which we have available in these days
the second is that i realized i had all but forgotten how to write, relying on computers to do most of my thinking and talking for me
and what better way to re-learn how to write than to write
lastly i feel there can be questions or topics which just do not come to mind in face to face communication this is a way in which we may be able to truly see into each others hearts minds and lives
I encourage you to use this to ask or tell me about anything-under the sky I want it to be completely open ended
I have chosen you, who was my lover for 3 years and probably the best girlfriend i have ever had for this because we shared many fond memories together which i do not wish to cloud with the retarded ending or our relationship which i put you through
i also feel as though i have a lot to explain, and i hope to do so if you will lend your eyes to read these words
towards the end i felt as though i barely knew you
a fact which i blame myself for
my only hope in this with you is that we can use it to forge a lasting friendship as there are many aspects of our relationship i would still see worth saving
if you wish i will share our written dialogue with not a soul but my own
these pages are intended for you and I alone
however i put no such stipulation on my own words
feel free to share them with whomever you please
my words and thoughts are for any and all
to read
My name is Andrew
i was your lover for three years
and i hope to still be your friend: i work for a data hosting company called the planet in Dallas i enjoy my work but sometimes it can be exhausting
the last couple of months have been filled with immense spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical changes in my life
i remitted some time after how terrible i had been to you and for that i am truly sorry
i hope at least a small part of you will want to read these words and even more so find it in your heart to forgive me and work with me to come to a better understanding of each other
for this entry i will leave it open ended please ask me anything you like tell me a story anything
be as verbose or as terse as you wish
however if it is your will and this does not interest you at all please feel free to send me no response
i do not wish to impose the expectation of a response only do so if you really want to
hope you're doing well-Andrew

I have no words for this

Sunday Sunday Sunday

2009-06-15T07:45:00.000-07:00

Got up around 11, went to do some computer stuff, heard the banging gong of my phone being like text message! Figured it was Gwen being like ready to go shopping?! Turns out nope it was a cute little good morning message from D. :D So the texting started hehe. Finished waking up and getting ready while we continued to text, tried that KFC grilled chicken finally, it was ok. Gwen called to be like still wanna go and I was like ugh YEAH! She came and got me around 2, Her, Gma and I went to Old Navy and Target. Gwen told me how much the active kicked her butt too and that made me feel good that I wasn't the only one lol. Dropped Gma off at home then Gwen and I went to 7-11 for a Slurpee and so I could clean up the melted chocolate out of her cup holder. Kept texting D this whole time. Went to Joanns and then we drove around for a bit trying to think of something to do, we eventually went back to my house and played some Wii, I started my laundry and we watched Army Wives. Then we drove around talking and texting more crazy questions to D. He seriously cracks us up. Went home finished up my laundry, and did my Active workout for that day, and took a shower. Managed to keep texting during all of this. Went to lay down for bed around 12:45. D and I kept texting till about 2 in the morning when I think we both just passed out. If my texting keeps up like this I'm going to seriously have to get a larger text plan. LOL Ugh I have to be up at 6:30 why do I do this to myself??? Oh yeah cause I'm boy crazy lol

I see they call you Dee, I'm Vee

2009-06-13T22:33:00.000-07:00

Got up started to work on some of my writing, got distracted my the wii active. OMG did that thing kick my butt. I nearly passed out, but I felt awesome afterwords, especially after a long hot shower. Finished up my writing for today. Went out with Gwen to target so she could get her Active, they didn't have it so we went to Toys R Us instead. Man they had a lot of crap I wanted. Drove around talking and laughing. Spent most of the night texting with Dee, he seriously cracks me up. Came home did some facebook quizzes and now I'm about to go write some more and then go to sleep. Gwen wants to go to Old Navy and Joanns tomorrow. Today was amazing!
