Inception was amazing, for all of you that asked. I absolutely loved it. I ended up going alone because the girl I was supposed to go with had to cancel, but it was totally worth it. It’s one of those movies that makes you guess throughout the entire thing how it’s going to end… and then when it ends you’re just astounded. Another A++ for Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, and Tom Hardy. This movie has a fantastic cast. Go see it!

I worked with Troy tonight. It was a pretty good night. I love working with him, and I felt like I hadn’t talked to him forever. Hopefully he and Frank are going to come to the cactus tomorrow, since Nick’s probably going to bail and I think Britt already has. =/ If I have the chance to go, I want to. I love to dance.

My bank account is finally getting taken care of. I just hope they put all the money back in before my check is deposited on Tuesday — I really don’t want my entire check to go toward NSF charges. Argh. I hate being broke.

On a higher (well, maybe) note, I added cute DQ boy on Facebook tonight. We’ll see how that works out. I’m probably a little too hopeful, but that’s alright. I hate being single, especially since I’m terrible with guys. Greta tells me tonight that I should be way more confident because I’m “pretty, smart, funny, and really nice…. when you want to be… haha”. I said thanks, but guys obviously don’t think so. Her reply? “No offense, but the guys you usually like are arrogant jerks. Maybe it’s just the wrong guys.” Greta-1, Caity-0.

I’m going to see Inception tonight. I’m going by myself… I hope it’s not too awkward. I’ve never been to see a movie by myself. But I really want to see it, and no one will go with me. Everyone is either working, can’t find a sitter, or is too far away. It kind of sucks. I’m meeting Weeze and some people she works with at Bdubs after, though. Should be fun.

My bank account is even more messed up now than the last time I blogged. It is currently negative $324 because two more Speedway charges showed up and that put me at $280 in overdraft fees. It’s ridiculous. Hopefully I’ll get it all back by the time I get paid next Tuesday, because if my paycheck goes toward my overdraft and the bank hasn’t corrected everything yet, I’m going to be PISSED. I’m taking two trips out of state this month (one this weekend to Chicago and one next weekend to Wisconsin), and if there is no money in my bank account… someone’s going to get an earful. That’s for sure.

I’m downloading the Best Of album for Snow Patrol right now. I’ve heard exactly two of their songs and love them both, so hopefully the album is worth the wait. My internet connection is terrible on a GOOD day. In fact, I’m pretty sure I just lost connection, so who knows when I’ll be able to post this. Hmph.

Greta did a great job of embarrassing me tonight at work. She told one of her friends that I was interested (which is true), but I don’t do well with guys. I’m so shy, and I’m majorly lacking in the confidence department. He’s super cute, though. We’ll see if anything actually comes out of her saying something to him (they were messaging back and forth on facebook). I feel so high school right now. haha.

I REALLY wish I could find all my Incubus CDs. I’m dying to listen to some Morning View or A Crow Left of the Murder. And my connection is too slow to download anything. =[ And I don't really want to pay for them on iTunes. I've been going through a kind of '90s phase when it comes to music, too. It's a little strange. And it's kind of irritating that I can't really download anything with this connection, because I keep thinking of new songs. Tonic, anyone? "If You Could Only See"? Love. It.

Tubing tomorrow! If I can find my p&s camera I'll make sure to take some pictures. =] I’m doing so well about blogging lately. I hope I can keep it up.

I recommend gettin’ your heart trampled on to anyone. Yeah.

I am counting down the days until classes start again. I need something to do with myself, and being busy 24 hours a day/7 days a week is the only thing that’s going to stabilize me. Kind of sad, hey? But I found out that my appeal for my dependency status went through! The government is considering me and independent student this year (and rightly so), so I’m getting a fair amount more financial aid than I was when they were relying on my parents’ income. I’m so relieved. The process was a pain in the ass and it might take a bit longer for the money to get to me so I can buy books, but I really don’t care. It should even leave enough left over so that I can pay off my damn storage unit and be done with it. *happy dance*

Theo has been driving me nuts lately! I was barely home for ten minutes and he had already made my foot bleed. I understand that he’s a kitten and all and he just wants to play, but the scratches I have ALL OVER are ridiculous. He even gets kicked out of my room in the mornings because he thinks six a.m. is a reasonable time to attack my appendages. He’s mistaken.

So, I just started reading The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood yesterday, and I’ll have it finished tonight. It’s a quick read, but it’s really good. Zac Efron is starring in the film adaptation that is releasing this weekend, so I wanted to read the book before I see the movie. I’m not sure how well Efron’s going to do as Charlie, but hopefully he does the part justice. I assume the changed the age of everyone in the movie, because in the book Charlie is 28 – Zac Efron’s a cutie and all, and he’s definitely talented, but I don’t think he could pull off 28.

Hum. Dad and I are planning a tubing trip for Saturday! I’m excited. It’s a place down by Turkey Run and we’ll be floating about 3 miles down Sugar Creek. Eeee! Pictures to come, I’m sure. Haha. Yes, I’m that excited about it.

Well, it’s storming pretty good here, so I better wrap this up before I lose power. Happy Wednesday.

But it’s always back to you.

1. I used to pride myself on how well I kept up with my housework. I hate clutter, and I used to be able to keep it at bay. But when I moved into this tiny apartment, it all went out the window. I have enough stuff to fill a two bedroom apartment and I had to shove into a one bedroom. You can see how that might be a problem.
2. I use music to portray my thoughts and feelings 90% of the time. The other 10% I write it all down. I’m not good at actually talking about them.
3. I’m a shy person in general. People that know me don’t usually believe that, but it’s only because I do a pretty good job at hiding it. However, when it comes to guys (ones that I like, in particular) I’m incredibly shy and will never make the first move. Unless I’ve had quite a few drinks.
4. Turning 21 was something I had been looking forward to since I was about 16. I love being in my 20s. If I could just get over my self-consciousness, this might be the best time of my life.
5. I don’t think I’m ever going to feel about anyone the way I felt about my ex, and even if I did find someone else, I feel like I’m damaged goods now anyway.
6. I’ve been interested in exactly two guys since my divorce, and both times I have found an excuse to make the relationship fail.
7. I’ve been called a ‘gay hag’ a few times. Two of my best guy friends are gay, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s not my fault that I can’t find any straight guys that I like well enough to hang out with. *shrug*
8. I’ve been to three concerts this year and I plan on going to at least two more before the end of the summer. I love live music.
9. My welcome mat says ‘make the earth smile’ — it’s fitting, considering everyone tells me I should have been a hippie.
10. I’m more mature than a lot of people my age, and sometimes it gets really irritating. I miss being married and having married friends, because at least we were all at the same point in our lives.
11. The only friend that I have that’s my age and single with no kids is my cousin. And we only get along about 70% of the time. There has been a lot of drama there recently.
12. I love going out to have drinks and dance. I love to dance.
13. I try to get together with my dad at least one a week to have dinner and a beer. We just walk downtown to either the pub or the mexican place and catch up. It’s nice. I’m a daddy’s girl through and through.
14. When I was 12, I thought I was going to grow up to be Britney Spears. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still wish I was a famous performer.
15. I’m really forgetful. As a matter of fact, I can’t remember what time I have to be in to work today and I need to call and find out.
16. I’m running out of things to say about myself.
17. I have switched my major three different times since I started college. What I really wish I could do is switch to music and be done with it, but I haven’t done anything with real training since I was in high school. So much for that dream.
18. I definitely have a ‘type’ when it comes to guys. Generally, I love tall, thin guys with dark hair. Not scrawny, but athletic. My cousin, we have come to realize, is the exact opposite.
19. I have three pets, but only one of them actually lives with me. His name is Theo and he’s a 3 1/2 month old kitten. He’s a little terror. I also have Frankie, a cat that’s about a year and a half old now, and Princess, a 7-year-old miniature collie. They both live with my parents because my place just isn’t big enough.
20. I eat fast food more than any normal person ever should.
21. I love my job for the most part, but if I found something that would work around my school schedule the same way and pay me more, I would quit without a second thought. I hate barely being able to pay my bills.
22. I would move back down to Tennessee tomorrow if I had a realistic opportunity.
23. I miss being associated with the Army, and I’m sure I annoy people about it sometimes.
24. When I was born, I had dark brown hair. Then it was blonde until I was five. Now it’s a medium brown. Don’t ask me how that works.
25. I am currently very unhappy and I have no idea how to get myself out of this funk.

Voila! Fin.

If you want to know anything, I actually updated my bio page really recently! It’s all up to date. =]

I went to lunch with Dad in Lafayette yesterday. We walked around downtown and got sandwiches from a street vendor. It was a gorgeous day. I think we’re planning on going tubing down the river the Saturday after the 4th. I’m pretty excited about it. He also offered to help me a little bit with my trip to Wisconsin with Ashley, so that will be nice.

Gah, I think I’m going stir crazy here. I’m ready for fall semester to start already. I need something to keep me busy during the day. I think that’s another reason I’ve gained so much weight — I have nothing to do! I’m trying to keep my mind off food (I’m a bored eater), but it’s tough. Lol. I love food.

Well, I have to be at work in less than two hours, and my book is calling my name again.

It has been a crazy month. There was a ton of drama between me, Eric, and Weeze [even more than I mentioned in my last post], and I’m glad it’s all over. It was a really stressful situation, and I’m not sure if we all worked it out correctly, but at least it’s worked out. It was a little rocky there for a week or so. All I can say about it is that I’m glad to have both of them in my life, and I don’t want to risk the friendship/relationship that I have with either one.

Hum. I am getting kind of sick of being single, though. I say that now, but I always manage to change my mind when the situation presents itself [see above]. I don’t know what it is. Survival instinct, maybe. Haha. I do love being able to go out whenever I want to and not have to worry about who I talk to or dance with or whatever. You know? But sometimes I really wish I had someone to come home to. Well, part of me does. The other part of me is a hermit, values my alone time, and wants my space to myself. I probably couldn’t make up my mind to save my life. Can I get a big FU to all the exes who have screwed anyone over? This is your fault.

I’m thinking about taking another vacation in August. Ash wants me to be her date to one of her friends’ weddings up in Wisconsin. I’m definitely leaning toward going. I love WI, and it shouldn’t be an expensive trip for me. She’s driving up whether I come or not, so I wouldn’t have to pay for gas [I'm on her way] — all I would have to pay for is half of a hotel room for one night. And to be completely honest — I’m dying to get away from here again. Nick and I have been talking about it a lot at work… This town is like a trap. If you don’t get out when you have the opportunity, you’ll be stuck here for the rest of your life, trying to claw and tear your way out. I don’t want to be stuck here. I’m not going to end up here. I’ll admit that I am scared to move back to Tennessee right now [and I'm not sure that my opportunity is even still good], but it would probably be the best way to ensure I’m not stuck. But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I’m really excited about this weekend. Well, Thursday and Friday. Thursday evening I’m going with Cate to a passion party at her aunt’s house, and then afterward Britt and I are going to the Neon Cactus for Thirsty Thursday. It’s a club over by campus, and drink specials on Thursdays are amazing. Fifty cent beer and $1.75 well drinks. I’ll take it! Weeze and I went last week and had a blast. We ended up bumping into two of Sebert’s brothers [and they stopped and talked to me! I was surprised. I'm glad he didn't make them hate me] and a few olllld friends. One of the guys was best friends with the guy I dated all throughout high school, and it was really good to see him. Kind of strange, though. Anyway, Friday night I’m going to see Eric Clapton play at Verizon. My parents bought tickets for the three of us, and I’m super stoked about it. I love concerts. I didn’t get to see Dave Mathews a couple weeks ago, but Amber bought me a go gift. =] That’s another thing about going to WI in August… The trip is the same weekend that John Mayer is in town. =/ I may have to wait until next summer to see him…

Oh! I got a new kitten. This has to be mentioned. He’s in my Flickr feed over there. His name is Theo and he is a holy terror, but I love him. It’s nice to have something to take care of other than myself. I need that again. I’m good at taking care of things. Now if only he would stop attacking my hands and feet. I look like I got in a fight with something that has really sharp claws. Oh, wait…

Now that I’ve chatted about nothing in particular and not everything I wanted to blog about, I’m out. I really want to fall into my book before I fall asleep tonight.

And a HUGE thank you to Cate for giving my blog a much-needed makeover! I love you, bff!
