Today has been such a surreal day. I almost feel like I am still dreaming.
Tyler had a friend over who was talking about wanting to get rid of the scooters he had sitting around his house, turns out they are my DREAM scooter that I drool over online all day long.
Then my favorite person ever called me and said she MIGHT be moving to Gainesville.
My mom just called me and told me that Bextra agreed to settle with the people harmed by their medication (this is the medicine that caused me to have a brain hemorrhage a few years ago) - I don't want to give my hopes up on getting money because they are not settling with all the people in the lawsuit but I am just glad they are finally paying for what they did to so many people.
Intense day. |

| Homemade soaps |
[Mar. 19th, 2008|06:20 pm] |
ok so about a couple of months ago my skin started itching SO bad ALL the time. I finally went to the doctor about a month ago and I have a skin problem where I am hypersensitive and had to change everything I own to no fragrance options. Well after a fragrance free month I want to bring back some stuff that smells good into my life!
Today I decided I am going to start making my own soaps at home so I know it is all natural and I know exactly what is in it. I just spent a ton of money on soap cutters and molds, etc. I was just wondering if I start making this is mass quantities would anyone be interested? It will be inexpensive, I just want to break even!
I bought aloe, honey, hemp, and goatsmilk (obviously a non vegan option) bases. I read up on how to extract my own essential oils from organic products, and I can add anything you want.... pieces of a loofa, apricot seeds, cranberry seeds, dill, rosemary, oatmeal, flowers, etc. Let me know! thanks! |

Okay I got this idea because sometimes I see people asking for their friends to contribute a couple bucks to their paypal accounts because they want a new phone because theirs broke or something.
Well as a lot of my friends know...my father (and BFF) has been in the hospital for about two months... and has been getting dialysis 3 times a week. Because he was in for so long he is no longer able to walk. so after they discharged him he had to go to a live-in rehab place to learn to walk. He has been there for one week. Today was his third time denying dialysis. Once this happens they usually give you anywhere from a week to two months (if his body gets rid of any toxins) to live.
Anyway as of now the rehab place said they are going to call Hospice. I really want to spend some time with my dad if this is really going to happen but I am so financially screwed right now that I still haven't paid my rent. So there is no way I could afford ANY time off.
I was thinking maybe a couple bucks here and there on paypal might help me fund a couple days off to spend with my dad.
Here is the link if you are feeling giving: (my email on paypal is twodollarbills@hotmail.com)

I haven't written in here in a long time, but I really feel like venting or...feeling bad for myself, or something, and I don't really know anyone in Gainesville so I feel like I have no one to talk to...so back to good old livejournal!
My dad has been in the hospital for almost a MONTH. I am used to him being in the hospital (three heart attacks, an infarcted kidney, a stroke, congestive heart failure, kidney failure since he lost one kidney when he infarcted it... etc.) BUT a month?!?! he went in for gallstones. GALLSTONES. It escalated quickly. I guess everything is much more difficult when you have such a crazy past.
Anyway the hardest part through all of this is that the infection caused kidney failure, which means he has creatinine levels of 7 or better, and toxins and fluid building up in his body. (his right arm is LEAKING toxic fluid out through his pores)...hardest part is that because of this toxic fluid...it has caused encephalopathy. He is no longer him. For lack of caring for a better word, he has gone crazy. hopefully temporary. but these last four weeks have been so hard, because he has become this person that he ISN'T. He is HITTING nurses and calling them horrible words. hitting my mom. saying awful stuff to her. My dad has never even THOUGHT about touching my mom... even when I was 13 and shitty and deserved to be hit..he never hit me because he didnt believe in it. I try to tell the nurses that the man they are seeing isnt my father, but they are too sidetracked with being yelled at to care. I feel badly for them, I do, but I wish they could see that he is a really nice man who is very sick and still be NICE to him. Some are...but a lot definitely let their distaste for him show. Its hard seeing my dad tied down to a bed.
ALSO. my mom has some random cousin that lives (lived) in California, her name is Shannon, and I had never met her before. Well a week into my dad being in the hospital my mom found out that Shannon (who is severely Bi-Polar) got kicked out of her house. My mom offered for her to come stay with her. So now Shannon is living with my mom...
The other day my dad calls us from the hospital (oh.. ya...he has moments of confused lucidity) he says he doesn't feel well at all and he is scared and would his wife please go sit next to him. So my mom asks us (me and Shannon) "who will drive me?" (oh...my mom is blind) So I say I will and she goes to her room to get changed. Shannon says to me "DONT YOU LET YOUR MOM GO VISIT THAT MAN IN THE HOSPITAL" "WHAT?!?!?!?!" "ANDI, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW ABUSIVE HE IS. HE DOESNT DESERVE TO HAVE YOUR MOM GO VISIT HIM!!!" I kindly explained to her (for the seventh time that day) that my dad is sick, and not in his right mind and that my dad is NOT an abusive person by nature. (also..she told the neighbors that my dad is an abusive jerk...all this because she saw him in the hospital) Anyway we ended up having it out.. I couldnt restrain myself. I am so stressed and its hard enough having someone I love so sick, without someone having to constantly say stupid shit about them. I wish she would move out of my parent's house.
I dont expect anyone to read that long entry. I just really needed to type it all out, therapy I guess.
UUUUGGGGHH. |

I haven't updated my journal in sooo long but I want to make it known that I avidly read all of your amazing entries to keep up with everyones life- so dont delete me!!!!
quick update:
I currently work at whole foods market (an organic food store) in winter park and live pretty much right behind it (so everyone should really come visit me). I live with Tyler (the husband), Jon (the husbands best friend) and mark (my boss/ awesomeness)...it rules most of the time. Tyler and I are throwing around possibly moving out of florida when our lease is up...but I know us and I am afraid we will chicken out... or actually go but wind up coming back like everyone else does.
Anyway I love and miss you all and I really wish we hung out more..all of you..seriously! |

The fest was so awesome this weekend! I am so thankful that I not only got to go for free but that I got to be there with a few of my favorite people. the shows were a lot of fun but even better than the shows was getting to spend time with some friends walking all around gainesville for two days. It was freezing and beautiful and so many kids were riding their bikes and walking everywhere, we took over the streets and I dont think I would have wanted to be anywhere else. Mark, Ryan, Tyler, Amanda, and I drove up together with equipment and a big van that we rented from one of their friends. I got to see the two bands I really wanted to see : This bike is a pipe bomb and ted leo. They were both so awesome. The this bike show was PACKED and it was so hot and sweaty in the venue it was like standing in soup and my glasses actually were fogging up, it ruled. There was so much love and friendship everywhere, The crowds got crazy at a lot of the shows and I was so happy to see that none of it ever turned into an actual physical fight, which tends to happen way too often at shows with crazy crowds.
okay this is my favorite ridiculous story from the fest and I just need to share it. Amanda and I had gone into a bathroom that was inside this shopping center but it was away from any kind of crowds..way down a hall. I guess tyler and ryan had figured out that they could hear everything we were saying in the bathroom so decided to start talking about how they were sleeping with all of these groupies so we could overhear them. For some reason amanda and I had only one response and it was to start screaming in orgasmic pleasure as if we were totally going at it in the bathroom. At the very moment that Amanda had grabbed me and thrown me against a wall she screamed "I AM GOING TO COME!!!!" while staring at me..when all of a sudden we realize that a woman is walking in on us... we freaked out and starting screaming and running out the door like little kids..and on the way having to run around another woman that was walking in...we walk out to Ryan and Tyler running and laughing histarically at us. I am pretty sure I laughed at this situation for an hour afterwards... it made me feel like being in highschool again and it was amazing. I had the best time and I really love being around Ryan and Amanda- they are the grossest/funniest couple ever. I am sad the weekend had to end. Also I am sorry for the annoying couple thing killing mark!!!! |

Okay so basically my job was awful..and a couple people convinced me to storm out of my job one day... so I did.. on Tuesday I threw down my apron, made a scene, and drove off...it felt amazing. Today I got a job at Whole Foods, I start Tuesday at 1. Most excited ever. I got the job even though I pretty much stuttered and made no sense for the first three minutes of it, I am the biggest geek ever. |

2) Country Slashers

6) Skycraft (all their fans are 15 year old girls..and me)
7) Mumpsy
8) Hors d’oeuvres
9) Slaw dogs (this band is basically the same as the band above plus or minus some members.. but both include my favorite person from jacksonville!)
10) monikers. (old discount member+county slashers member+ old kite flying society member+ jawbreaker ripoffs = awesome)
WITH WHATS YR DAMAGE? POSSIBLY JUMPING IN BETWEEN BANDS SOMETIME BETWEEN 3PM AND 5PM...
to the bands playing..if you dont like this line up let me know and I can change whatever to help everyone out.. get back at me!
we are doing short sets seeing as way more bands than I thought were going to play are playing..
OR
if any band could bring a PA that would be awesome..we have one..but since there are so many bands it would be awesome if one band could be setting up while another band is playing..that way the sets wouldnt have to be shorter than usual..whatever.. any input?

okay so on with the shit talking about Tyler and I getting married...
Let me explain the situation, Tyler and I do in fact live together, but living with someone has nothing to do with actually getting to spend time with them or even really see them for that matter.
Tyler is a really busy person, If he isnt working, then he is at skycraft practice.. not there? then he is at monikers practice.. when he is actually home he is out working on building the recording studio, or busy having to write music because skycraft recently kicked out their singer and songs have to be redone. The only time i get to see tyler is when i drive him to said work or band practice, or when he crawls into bed at 6:30 in the morning and accidentally wakes me up while doing so. So if lately I have been getting pissed that I NEVER get to see him or do anything with him that does NOT make me dependent on him by any means, that means I would like to actually get to spend some time with him! That is completely normal that after months of never getting to see him and continually trying to work things out to find time to do so that I am going to get upset! So to everyone that told tyler that me wanting to spend time with him makes me co dependent or that we shouldnt get married you have no idea what you are talking about. I think that maybe when you get married or you are in a serious relationship and you never get to spend any time at all with your partner you will understand, and I hope you come to me about it so i can just tell you how insane that makes you and that its totally not normal or anything to actually want to SEE your wife. Also thank you everyone for being completely two faced.
edit: oh! Tyler already knows about this post..just thought I should let everyone know before everyone decides to discuss my lj..say at band practice..since my lj comes up a lot there. I dont know why I just wasted my time saying this because now I can guarantee that this will be brought up. |

| answer these 10 questions with lyrics from one of your favorite bands |
[Apr. 24th, 2005|12:19 am] |
Led Zeppelin
1. are you male or female?:
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.
2. describe how you feel about yourself:
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.
3. your best piece of advice:
These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.
4. describe your last relationship:
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be,
Only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end,
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh.
5. describe your current crush:
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
6. say something to someone you have a crush on or already love:
I know I never never never gonna leave your babe
But I got to go away from this place,
I've got to quit you, yeah
Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin' me?
Woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.
Come what may, every day
7. say something to an ex:
Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;
Go away, Heartbreaker.
8. say something to someone who hurt you severely:
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on
9. how do you feel right now?:
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.
10. is there anything else you would like to say?:
Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way, watch your honey drip, can't keep away.
I gotta roll, can't stand still, got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill.
Eyes that shine burning red, dreams of you all through my head. |

so today tyler and I had a talk about if we should invite people to the wedding that talk shit about me, and specifically talked shit about us getting married. He thought we should because you are supposed to love your enemies.. I argued that you should definitely be civil to them, but that does NOT include inviting them to your wedding. Anyway it was decided they arent invited. Just out of curiousity..any thoughts? |
