A CHANGE OF VENUE WOULD DO YOU GOOD...TAKE MY ADVICE...RUN AWAY


it is a new start to a new era for me - i am officially not living in ames anymore - i am now living in sloan with my parents until i find that wonderful new apartment that i will call my own - oh god i can not wait for the day when i can walk into my own apt and not worry about having to find dishes in the sink and clothes laying all over - not that i am a clean freak - but just neat and tidy - but anyway........so yes it is now official - i am moved out and moving on with life - onward with life!!! - oh.....that was a organization i almost worked at once - funny - anyway - quick someone bring me some life

so what has spurned this sudden change in scenery? - funny you should ask - well i am now officially graduated from iowa state university with a double major in psychology and sociology - and i did it all in under seven years!!! - haha - no i did it in five years - but two of those years were spent in graphic design and public relations - those didn't work out so well - but speaking of graduating.....i just received my diploma in the mail today from the uni and how weird - it looks exactly like my fathers - who also graduated from isu for those of you who are not up to speed on your mr. don lord trivia - except his says something a long the lines of it being given out 'on this day of the lord' in blah blah year and day - and mine does not say year of the lord - we have too many religions now to do that - oh a P.C. nightmare if we did do that - and isu does not need anymore bad publicity (see larry eustacy for more info about bad publicity) - but it was completely comical to us since my last name is lord - makes it sound like it was our day - hmmm.......what a nice thought - we laughed a bit till we realized that we it was sad and we stopped -

so i am now graduated - and as an added bonus in the scotts life is getting better game show - i also have received a job offer at the boys and girls home in sioux city - which i took - my main duties will include talking to kids and monotering then from 2 to 11 at night - no early mornings for me!! - so now i am back to start a new chapter in my life -

oh did i also mention that i have a psudeo boy here - ya - we met on the day before thanksgiving and it was what could be described as love at first sight - it was just intense - well he is a complete sweet kid and i do really like him so much - i know he likes me - but there are some issues to deal with before we get into anything - but who knows what will happen - maybe it will be goody - maybe it won't be good - but i will try my best to make it work and i am completely commited to him - oh love - it is such a pain in the ass - he puts up a hard demener but once you get inside - he is just a teady bear - love that kid -

but in recap

so here i am -

i am now living in : sloan, iowa -

population : about 1000 - give or take 100
Town : we have two bars, two gas stations, three food eateries, one bank, one grocery store (dan's foodtown - jen thinks that is a very funny name for a grocery store - oh well some of us can't live in big sophisticated cities) one firestation and a part time doctor

Family? : yes there are lots of them around here - some good, some bad (like felony bad)

Friends? : yes there are some great friends -

High School Problems? : oh god it seems my whole graduating class from high school still lives here, and have done nothing with their lives - oh i cant wait to talk to some of them!!!

Overall : i am not sure - there are deffinetly some amazing prospects (the boy) and there are also some other problems - but i think that everything will be just fine - - just fine -

I SHOULD BE FILLED WITH HOPE AND LOVE BUT ALL I FEEL IS SADNESS


i am back from my weekend now - it was a pretty good weekend - overally i had a good time - on friday i was tired and jen and myself really didn't do much of anything - we just kinda went out for a bit and went shopping - the bar was slow and i was tired so we left early at like 11 - so sad -


on saturday was the wedding - it was a really nice wedding - i was very happy with how pretty things were - the brides dress was very nice and simple and the groom was completely on cloud nine about the whole evening - it was very cute - and i wish the same for me sometime - but who knows - who knows what will happen in my future - so after the wedding reception i we went to the bar and had a pretty good time - overall i was just tired and drunk and a little pissy about things - i just got really bad and bitter - we ended up leaving and going back to the boys house - there we chatted around a bit and eventually went to bad - the boy let jen sleep in his big bed and iwe slept in the television room on the extra matress - it was nice - i awoke in the morning with him behind me hugging me - best thing in the world - i was completely happy -

but then on the way home and today - jen asks me somethings that i have been thinking about for some time now - what if we aren't going to be together - what if i get back there and he says no - or something worse - god only knows what he is thinking - i have no idea - i know he has said in the past that he likes me a lot - but things have happened and i don't know if that jepordizes anything - but it probably has - it just kills me because - i know he is scared to death of things happening and getting worse - he is so scared that things will get worse or that things will be bad - that i will leave him - when i won't - oh hell - who knows what is going to happen - i really have no idea - i guess i will just go with the flow -

GOOD DAY FOR A WHITE WEDDING - AND POSSIBLY SOME SNOGGING


well i am going home with the wonderful miss jennifer to see a wedding of some dear family friends - it should be a really nice wedding - the bride and groom are made for each other - just a perfect fit - completely perfect - - but jen and i are going there - because - she is my requisit date to any wedding i attend - and vise versa - which makes it fun - lately lots of people have been getting married in the fam so jen has been to quite a few weddings with me - one of my moms friends even things that we are going to be together in the future - well maybe live together - but that would be all - sorry jen - but i need a man - and you need one too - hopefully not the same one -

also - a huge step in the right direction - the boy is letting jennifer and myself stay at his house one night - that is so amazingly kind - i am so indebt to this kid - and he knows it too - he keeps doing these amazing things for me - and all i have done is treat him like crap in the past - oh - man - i am so in love with this guy - - i would do anything for him - i hope he knows that - i think he does - such a sweetie -

STARTING OVER WITH A LITTLE HELP


so i officially got a job offer today - the boys and girls home offered me a job working in the south sioux city treatment center - if you go here and click on the south sioux city icon on the map and you can see a little bit of what i will be doing - it should be good work - and i am just completely relieved that i have a job - it is a giant load off of me - now i can work on getting an apartment faster and establishing my life faster - but now i have a problem - i will be working in south sioux city - - - - - and i wanted to get an apartment in morningside - but that will be one hell of a drive everyday - well i would just have to cut through alot of the city - so maybe i will rethink my idea of living downtown by the other kids i know - i could probably find a place down there fairly cheep and it would be nice - i would only be worried about the neighborhood - some of the area down there isn't exactly nice - but oh well - i have a while to look at all my options -






 
A HOUSE


we are having some problems in the house right now - as i am packing some things - i am noticing some things missing of mine - mainly i am missing about four dvds that i can't find anywhere - i know i have not packed them up - i have looked through those things - and i have looked just about anywhere they should be - and i can't find them at all - now one video i saw in my ex's room and i know he liked to watch the other videos - it was one of his favorite animation shows - but that didn't mean that at first thought that he took them -


i asked him about one of the videos first - and that conversation turned into a large fight - well i was accusing him of taking the video - the movie ghost world was last seen sitting in his room - and then it disappeared - so since he was the last to see it - well he just denyed it and said that i lost it - or that one of our friends took it and i didn't know about it - i doubt that - someone would tell me if they had my movie - or at least ask - and plus not many people are over here - if they wanted to borrow something i would have to give it to them -

but then last night i found i was missing my outlaw star videos - it would not be so bad if they were only 20 a peice - but i paid $50 bucksfor each one and i had three - so i am missing a large amount of money here - it is just troubling that i can be missing those and i am not sure what happened to them at all - they just disappeared in the house somewhere - but still i wouldn't have accused him - but....

on wednesday of last week i got back from seeing X2 with elizabeth and we wanted to watch thirteen ghosts which we thought that my ex had packed up - well we looked in some boxes he had in the stacked in the dinning room and we found a cook book of mine that he apparently thought was one that his mother had given to him - that i am not mad about - what pisses me off is that he tried to take some magazines of mine - i get bon appitet monthly from my aunt as a renewing christmas gift - well i found six of the magazines in his box - he was trying to take off with them - it is just the point that he knew they were mine and he tried to steal them - he knew they were mine - so then this raises my doubts about other things - if he knew the magazines were mine and knowingly took them - why wouldn't he do that for some dvds he wanted - it just makes me wonder - and think - well he granted me the oppertunity to look through the boxes and i did - there were some questionable cook books - well one that i thought was mine - but to avoid other problems with my ex - i just left that - i wanted to look inside his truck but he then threw a fit - screaming that i was on a witch hunt and accusing him of everything i have missplaced - to me this is a logical demand - he had two and a half hours to hide something if he needed to - why not just let me do it so he can exhonerate himself - make me look like the idiot - instead - it made him look like he has something to hide - when he flew off the handle and started yelling saying i couldn't get into his truck - cause i was being irrational - i am missing $180 worth of dvds - if he was missing them - we would all have to bend over backwards to find them - this is just one of the most frustrating things i have delt with in the last few weeks - he is completely uncooperative about things - and only when i start to take away things - like the unsupervised passing access to my room for any reason (the shower is in my room) - that he becomes passive - when things suit him or when he needs something - he becomes compliant - it is the way he is - and i am done dealing with it - i am not sure where my things are - or what has happened to them - but whatever has happened - things are not right around the house

A STRANGE WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS


so now i am at home - i came home for an extended weekend so i could go to a job interview - i had it today at 9:00 and it was perhaps the quikest job interview i have ever had - it was over by about 9:20 - ya - it just went - and truthfully - i was a little shocked at what constituted at second interview - well mainly it was me and three supervisors - two of whom came in late - and they asked me about 12 questions - about my experiences and about what i have done in the past and what i would do in certian situations - it was strange but i think i answered everything pretty thuroughly - i was pleased with what i said and i think they were too - it was not just what they wanted to hear either - i was very honest about things and gave them what i thought - so that is good i hope -

so this should be interesting since i am going to be moving here in about two weeks to see what is going to be happening - i really need to get this job and that would give me some much needed income - i also need money so i can get a place in the city - i think i am going to go through this one buy where i just have to rent monthly - my friend jamie used to know him and she said that he didn't have contracts and it was all monthly renting - sounds great - cause who knows where i will be in a year - here - or back in college somewhere? - i do not know - wish i did though - i would like to be here person permiting - but i am not sure if that is going to work out for me and him -

also tonight i am going to go out with the kids from sioux city and celebrate my graduating from college - i think it should be quite a lot of fun - well it will probably involve me getting rip roaring drunk and so on - but when is that not in a party itinerary? - so this evening should be quite fun - i also had a heart to heart with the boy last night - i think it was well received - i am not sure his response to everything - but he is still talking to me so that is a good sign right? - i think things will be fine between us - i am not sure exactly what is happening - but maybe tonight i will see something more - it can only get better from here -

FROM WHAT I CAN REMEMBER I THINK IT WAS A GREAT GRADUATION PARTY - OR IS THAT WHY IT WAS GREAT?


ok - alright - so here is the stuff - on saturday the 3rd of may - there was a graduation party at the garden in des miones for seth, sam and scott - the three s boys - we had been planning this event for quite some time - i think about a month actually - but anyway the day was finally here and wow it was something else - i had planned on going down with sarah and jen - and we were gonna stay in a hotel so i don't have to bother them both with my crazy drunk ass driving me home - which was cool - and a huge shout out to my parents for getting me the hotel room as my graduation present - that was amazingly kind - love them - so anyway -

pre-party dinner and hotel exchange

we left ames at about 4:45 to go out to eat and them hit the hotel room and then the party a 7:00 - well i was some sort of a stupid genius - because i figured we could eat at olive garden - right - like hell we could and still make it there on time - and also - it was prom weekend! - wow there were people sitting around outside of the resturant - so no way - we decided that we would go and eat some fast food - so we drove around for a bit and finally found a wendey's - we made the order as difficult as possible for our worker who seemed to be a bit razzled that there we more then just one single order - oh well - i felt bad for a second - hehe - and after that we quickly drove off to the hotel - in which we encountered another problem - apparently the bitch of the girl who was clearly demonstrating her power - or shoudl i say what power she thought she had - so at 6:30 i was franticaly calling my parents to ok the use of their credit card - even thought they had already called and got the room a few nights ago - sadly enough it toke a lot of time that i didn't have to spare and make the woman behind the counter seem like a complete bitch - she kept saying - oh it is just for security - yes i am sure it is - which is why my friend jen could have gone outside and called them pretending to be my mom if she wanted to - bitch - anyway we finally got into our hotel room and got to eat something - we then got dressed for the evening - it was pretty ammusing getting ready - all the girls running around spritzing and schlacking everything into place - we finally got to the bar around 7:30 - casually late for my own party -

a night at the garden

so
we finally arived at the garden at about 7:30 - which was about 45 minutes from when i was supposed to be there - i was originally supposed to be there at 6:45 but because of the bitch above we were running late - that and there was so road construction so we had to take a different road and we kinda got lost - but funny thing is that because we were lost we ended up driving a backwards way to the garden - we were off by a street - and who do we see drive right by us - the boy - chris - he was there - he came down to des moines for the party - even after i talked to him all the morning and he said he wasn't coming - that little sneaky kid - damn i love it - he is so great - so we get to the party and just talk to everyone at first - there were a lot of people there - i was actually very surprised by the turn out - even people i haven't seen in years - like elliot and brian - showed up to the party - which was great - so i just kinda mingled around with everyone looking at the door all the time to see if he was here yet - and it was at the point in time when i was not looking at the door and i was talking to jen and liz when jen said - look at the door - i look up and there he is - my boy - oh damn i was just through the roof with excitement - i really tried to control it - i think i did an ok job - hell who i am kidding i was all over him - but i introduced him around and he met all my friends - which i am so completely happy about - it is the truth that i wanted that to happen - and he knew that - for him to make a point to come down and meet them for me - that is just great - i told him that it was amazing and i could never say enough to thank him - and i cant - it was so good - it was absolutely the best thing anyone has done - completely selfless and nice - so nice -

and then it gets fuzzy

so ya - remember some of the night - deffinetly not all of it -

IT'S LIKE I AM WATCHING A DREAM I CAN'T WAKE FROM


so i am completely done here - i have said it before and i will say it one last time - i am done with him and i will be done with him for the rest of my life - as long as i live - he is done - i have had the last confontation with my ex that i will ever have - it is a completely stupid thing that happened tonight - but it had to be done - so the main point is that i confronted him about something that he wrote on his blog - i had noticed that he wrote something about the new boy in my life - and it was completely unjust - for one he is professing that he has seen him - while i can not say for sure - i know that the boy would not come to the house a few days ago - because he knew i would not be here -

i am upset because it seems as though i a getting taken dicked here - i read the part about the ex seeing some photos of him - and i quote...'but i saw a couple pictures' - and where would he see those pictures - oh i am not sure - the only photos i have of him are (a) on my computer and (b) in three rolls of film - and one other photo floating around here - so may i ask - praytell where on earth did he say he found some pictures - he told me to do an internet search-cause i would be surprised what is on there when i can tell him right back that i have done internet searches cause when i was trying to get a photo of him in the first place i did that alot - and i got nothing - so i know better then that - it is completely the most retarted thing i have ever heard of his mouth - i know what has happened - and for him to sit there and lie right to my face is fine - because i am tired of it - and for this to happen and for him to be this way about everything is competely petty and demeaning and beyond childish - there is no other way - and there is no other possability - what has happened is what has happened - and all i can do is say that actions are for reasons - there is a reason for everything - my reasons for confrontation are to say for you to not do it again - your reasons for your actions are done and all i can say is i hope you got what you were looking for - there will never be another interaction that i will not regret what life i have wasted - - if i could make a list - of my mistakes and regrets -
