10:17 pm - To My Carrie
|
This is not a journal posting to have an update on my life but more of a reflection on one of my most powerful, surreal, crazy, and unforgettable friendships.
Every step has been imprinted into memories; the good, the bad, the old, the new. The balance is all it took to make us discover what true friendship is all about. My heart is heavy with the news of you leaving but I know this will pass. A surge of life rushes through my veins in anticipation for you. The excitement of a new place is unlike any other and you always find yourself a little more with each one.
Okay....I'm really going to fucking miss you!!
But I will get over it because it makes for another place to go to visit. I will hold my word on that. I actually cried after reading your post; it all sunk it really deep. I keep thinking about all the times we've had together and all the times yet to come. I am so excited for you and Nate...almost envious. I hope it's all worth it. Just remember to always have fun and it can make any place better. I guess this is a good way to get me to lj and im more often :) I know for a fact that Marie and I will probably plan a trip out there within the year. Do you think you're still going to look for GD related jobs or try something new? Good luck with it all; I have no doubt that something will more than likely fall into lap. More later...
Love ya Carrie

10:54 pm - this coming weekend*
|
Okay Carrie...and whoeva else is coming,
This Friday I will meet you in Menomenah for the old school foolish tricks. Are you planning on staying at Lizzie's? I'm not sure if I will be staying but obviously I'm bringing a pillow and sleeping bag just in case. don't worry there is always room in it for you...and maybe Nate if he's a bad boy (they are always so much more fun). I'm really thinking Menomenah will suck me in and have it's way with me. Anyways, Saturday I am for sure showering at ma place. Anyone else who wants to is welcome. Plus I wouldn't mind if you saw ma place. It's only 10 miles south of 94. Marie has Saturday off so we just have to call her to let her know when we are on our way. And the rest of our night will be in Minneapolis. I really think we should get a cab ride to the city; Marie usually drives when I go to visit and I still think that it's not a good idea. Plus I am not planning on driving that night. It is just not worth it. We should talk sometime this week. I have Tuesday off and Wed and Thurs I work till 6. Let me know if you want me to give ya a jingle and at what time! Can't wait to see you guys!!

9:52 pm - *guess who's comin up for a visit?!
|
Alrighty Carrie, Nate, and whoever else will be blessing us up here by Minnesota with your presence. By the way thank you for the warm welcome back to LJ. I have June 11th, 12th, and the 13th all off. Some of it is even paid; therefore you must come up. I know for a fact that we will be heading to Minneapolis on Saturday to maybe a couple of different places; one for sure is Ground 0. On Friday are you planning to go to Menomonie or are you coming to River Falls. It would be fun to visit me-no-money again; I haven't gone out in that town since I lived there, which hasn't been that long but it feels like foeva ago. I'm up for it all. Let me know for you will be the guests!
Remember in my last post I wrote about my car being hit and the person drove off. Well...I believe I'll be recieving a check for repairing it. It should be around $1200! I can't believe it; the damage isn't that bad. I wonder if I will get my car fixed? Must contemplate that one. At least I know my '91 buick is worth more than $1200.
Oh and for those of you who didn't know...Josh quit smoking and he has been quite the bitch. But I love it.

6:55 pm - *anybody out there????
|
There is nothing like a beautiful day to get oneself motivated enough to update their live journal. Sorry, I haven't been around, especially to the people I met down in Madison; you were all very cool individuals. Life is good; except for when I was at a bar to visit my friend and some drunk-ass decided to run into the back of my car with their truck or SUV. I was in the bar so I obviously didn't see it. But the asshole hit me and then took off. Nothing like a Hit 'n' Run and a little over $1000 worth of damage to make it a fun night. Thank god for insurance.
My friend Marie, came to visit me from the cities. We went out for a crazy night in River Falls. It was a lot of fun and very drunk. I believe I was put here on Earth to be Marie's pimp. Anytime we go out, I make it a point to find her a guy. She hasn't complained yet.
Anyways, the weather is getting better and that means someone has to come and visit. Let me know how you want to set this up Carrie. Marie and I are going to check out upcoming events at Ground Zero next time I go to visit and we'll keep you guys posted. Miss you a lot.

6:41 pm - thanks for the great time!
|
I just wanted to say thanks to Carrie, Nate, Jeremy, Heidi, Bob, and Josh for hangin with Josh and I in Madison. I miss you already Carrie. Shit we need to see more of each other. And Josh...well he misses Nate's dong the most or maybe it was his "steaming pile of man-mud" that he said he missed. Anyways, Josh had a great time too. All of you were a blast to hang out with and I can't wait for when you come up to visit Minneapolis. Oh, and thank you Andrew...I never got to meet (I think). Your place was very warm and inviting and we all really appreciate it.
current mood: thankful

6:55 pm - Shit...I almost forgot I had this thing!
|
Alright! Yeah, I know...here's my post.
What's new in my world: I had my first visitor; Marie. I was really strange because she came to River Falls on a Monday so there were hardly any bars open. I wanted to take her to Ground Zero but of course...CLOSED. So we went to Emma's. Which reminds me of "The Den" in old Menomenah; except with better decorating but has very liquored down drinks (yum). Any questions on this ask DOA.
V-Day: I worked till 5pm and came home to open my present from Josh. Any of you that have read his post about anti-depressants; probably know that the kid has been through the ringer with them. We've been together for 6 years and we've been through a lot of crazy shit but we've hung in there. Part of his present was a letter written to me (in short) stating, that I was light that led him out of the darkness and that there is nothing on this earth he could buy me that would say thank you enough. Josh is an excellent writer so by me shortening it; doesn't do it justice. On to my present...As of 2.14.2004, the International Star Registry named star number Leo Minor RA 9h 53m 45s D 38 39'(right outside the Leo constellation) "Lil Devil" in honor of me. That little shit bought me a star!! Then I had to go back and read his note again. The light that led him through the darkness...There is nothing on this earth that I could buy you to say thank you enough.
I have heard of this as a gift before and I always thought of it as cheesy but when you actually get one, it's pretty fukkin special. I love you Josh.
s:3!!! Yeah, I'm still coming! Josh isn't sure if he has to work yet or not; he won't absolutly know until this Thurs. I have tomorrow off, so I'll be calling DOA around 7ish to make plans (time, place, etc.) If there are any hotels close to the Inferno maybe we should stay there?. That way we would have a meeting place, a getting ready place, and whateva other thing we wanna do place. If you wanna do this let me know. You know the area way better than me so you make the call. Love Ya and can't wait to see you and all of your friends.

6:40 pm - double edged swords...god I hate them!!!!
|
Alright, so I'm at work today and I'm playing with diamonds, rubies, sapphires OH MY! And for some reason the day has been going smoothly. I received all of our transfers of merchandise from other stores, quality checked them and sent the to the floor. Took in phone calls dealing with a lot of on the spot problem solving. Made customers feel loved and even got a bunch to laugh. All in all it was a GREAT day. I mean hell, I even stayed an hour longer because they messed up with the breaks and they couldn't just leave a newbie there to deal with everything. The day just flew by and for 9 hours of work to do that, is an amazing thing.
What makes this story strange is that after I clocked out, one of the head honchos asked if I had time to talk? Sure, why not. I followed her to a back room and sat down with her. She starts out by asking,
H.H. -"So, how's everything going?"
ME -"Great! Everything's getting so easy and now I'm training new people; which I really enjoy doing."
H.H. -"Well, we really enjoy having you here Stacy and we see real leadership potential in you." (Oooo Maybe they're gonna give me a raise, this is raise talk)
ME -"Why thank you, that means a lot to me." (gimme raise, gimme raise, gimme raise)
H.H. -"Now, to get to that leadership level you have to make the customer more of a priority. You're doing great now but we want to see you take the extra step. You also need to show the newbies how it's done."
ME -(ARRR. No raise WTF) >wha-wha-wha-wha muzic<. "Sure I can (did you want me to hump their leg while I'm at it too). I know I can handle a leadership role; you guys just keep letting me know more of what I can do; I love getting feedback."(not bad took that slice to the gut quite nice)
H.H -"Great! I'm so glad you're willing to work on that. Other than that, you are free to go."
ME -"Okay; again just let me know how I'm doing."
H.H. -"We'll do, you have a good night Stacy and I'll adjust your time for staying."
ME -"Thank you, see you tomorrow." (why did you have to ruin my great day)
You ever notice how they always give you a compliment before telling you something bad. BASTARDS!! But at least they're giving me health ins. and my merch. discount kicks in in about a week. Rubies, sapphires, diamonds OH MY!
DOA...I have the weekend (just Sat. and Sun.) off of S:3 at the Inferno. Keep me posted on where we are meeting in Madison. The earlier the better.

7:23 pm - ahhh nothing like a perfectly mixed vodka_cran!!
|
It's Saturday night and I have just mixed myself a perfectly mixed vodka-cran...YUMMIES!!!
Anyways, if you've read templar's post yes, yes, yes we are watching boxing tonight. And I'm pulling out the domestic side tonight and making my bitch dinner. Little does he know it's not going to be chicken fried rice but I opted for a little chicken with creole rice...and if he doesn't hurry his ass up I just going to have a liquid supper.
Back to Templar's post...DOA just imagine waking up to that shit with Taco. I was asleep/passed out on the couch and I wake up to taco saying he's going to kill himself and as I look up the kid has a knife to his throat. I thought I was fukking dreaming. Thank god josh is the asshole he is because it worked for some reason...uhhhh did that make any sense? Yeah, Bartender...I'll have another vodka_cran please.
later

What's new? Hmmmm. I had the day off so I decided to get myself a haircut. I was ready to go for a short pixie-ish haircut but when I was actually in the chair, I went with something completely different. I now have a sling-bob style (shorter in back, longer in front) and have bangs. They are short cheeky bangs; I'm still getting used to them. It's amzing how much younger a person looks with bangs. Maybe I should start calling Templar "Daddy"...What if he likes it? EWWWWWWWW, that's gross. Later, I have to go take a shower now!!

11:10 am - *back home
|
Well, I'm back home in Mankato. Marie and I came here last night at around 9pm. I'm staying with my identical twin Tre (tracy). It's even better when you here my name (stacy). See how much trust iI'm getting here; in the past I would have never given my name out.
Anyways, last night we started drinking shortly after we arrived. MMMMM Rum and Coke is good yah!! I was already buzzed after one but that's what you get when all you have to eat all day is coffee and a giant sized rice krispy bar. After downing a few more drinks we decided to go to the bar especially since Minnesota has extended the bar time from 1am to 2am. It's about fukking time.
The bar was a great time. Tre has lived here ever since we graduated so she knows everyone. I on the other hand moved about 3 hours away and just happen to look a lot like her. So while we were at the bar, people kept coming up to me and striking up a conversation thinking I was Tre. I also got a lot of hugs those were the best because I would whisper into their ears, "I bet you think I'm Tracy." and then they would look at me and then I would point over to Tre...OH to see the expressions on their faces. What makes the situation even better is that I told Marie about this type of thing happening on the way down and she was able to see it in full effect. She couldn't stop laughing. A great time was had by all. I wonder what tonight has instore for us. CAN'T WAIT!!!
current mood: chipper

Let's get down to business...
WORK: Great! They love me there
MONEY: Still making it; I have no complaints.

FUN: This weekend, I'm going to Mankato, MN to kick it with my twin. (yes indentical). Can't wait!
The weekend of Feb. 21 (sat) Meeting DOA and Industriarts and whoeva else in Madison for a fun night at the Inferno. YES I GOT IT OFF!!!! Can't wait to meet y'all. hehe...let the shinanigans begin. Anything going on between those dates is up in the air.
STRANGE: Okay so little Joshy (my boy) has decided to play with LJ too. I never asked him to do it or anything he just told me that he posted today because he wanted to see what was up with it. He seems to like it. He's a talented witty writer and should be looked up. He's under templar_knight.
END: Bye-bye

7:21 pm - HAPPY FUKKIN NEW YEAR!!
|
Hmmmm, where to begin. Okay went to my company's holiday party. GREAT FOOD, GREAT DRINKS (a little high priced but then I noticed how much alcky was put in each one...me likey), GREAT REALLY BAD FOR YOU DESSERT, I WON A $50 GC TO BEST BUY, AND I PASSED OUT IN THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME. It was a great night indeed.
NYEve...I wish everyone the best in the new year!
PLANS?
*Could have went back home to my sis's place and indulged in many parties.(meow)
*Could have went to Minneapolis to a couple of parties and then finish at Ground Zero with Marie and Company.(purr)
What did I really do....
I worked all day till 6pm. Josh didn't get off work till 10pm. I have this obsession with the new year coming...In my mind, I believe that if you are not with the one you love (and not just regular love) at the stroke of midnight, a bad year together is sure to come. So I make it a point to be with Josh at midnight.
So instead of doing any of the above things I opted to wait for Josh and go out in RFalls. Who knows maybe make some good drunken friends. Josh came home and had a fever (easily 100). He felt bad because he knew of other plans and still said "Let's go out." I knew it wasn't going to be anything exciting but who gives a shit. We went out to one bar(not even worth describing), had a drink and then came directly home at 11:45pm. We filled champagne flutes. Josh had orange juice in his and I had vodkacran. We brought the new year in together and then watched Twilight Zone Marathon. Strange night? yes but not in the usual way.
later-

9:18 pm - I am all about quality in place of quantity...
|
I have seemed to muster up enough motivation to post. See what I'm doin is going for quality. Happy holidaze to everyone. It seems as though everyone has survived. Let's see I went home for the 1st time since June; it felt pretty good. Presents were okay but nothing extravagant. I shall follow suit and say...
*BEST* Cold Hard Cash (mmmm smells good)
*WORST* a cordless leg shaver that I could use in the shower...never asked or hinted for it. Turned it into a good present by returning it for the cash.
The reason for not posting in so long is becuz I really haven't had much time off of work. I've been taking extra shifts and staying late and it definitely caught up with me in the sleep and motivation department. For my next pay period, I put in 15 hours of overtime (I kept saying cha-ching to keep myself from going insane.) This Sunday the 28th is our holiday party...not open bar but hey, at least there's a bar! "BARTENDER, GIMME A VODKACRAN PLEASE!" I can't wait to see how these people act when they are loaded. Let's hope I don't make a fool out of myself.
One of the managers leaked to me that there has been talk of a promotion for me; pretty cool...but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
Signing off-meow.
current mood: energetic
