Joelle says I need to blog more. I'm really trying to but I don't have anything interesting to say. Ha.
School is getting closer & I'm getting pretty nervous. I don't like not knowing what's going on, it stresses me out. And I don't know where I'll be living while I'm there which is strange. I don't know when I'll be finding all of that out. Oy.
Watching the rerun of the MTV movie awards. Andy Samburg sucks. I'm pretty sure he's the worst awards show host in the history of ever. Of course Twilight wins everything, which is good in some categories, but there were a few that I really thought should have gone to another movie. Like, movie of the year went to Twilight, & as much as I loved it I would have given it to The Dark Knight. And Miley Cyrus won for best song in a movie...I think Paramore should have got it for "Decode." And I'm not really sure if Kristin Stewart is on drugs or if she's just naturally awkward. Either way, she's downright weird sometimes.
New Moon looks amazing though.

Annoyed Major.
So today I went & bought a clear retainer to put in my hole & spent an hour trying to get the screw that's already in (the one it was pierced with 2 years ago) to come out. It is STUCK. Won't budge. So I had to drive back over to OG & tell them there is no way this thing's coming out. They told me to cover it with a bandaid until I can get to a piercer to change it for me. *sigh* So now my nose is all red & sore & irritated...kinda like me! I mean seriously, of the 20-some girls I work with at Chili's only TWO don't have some sort of nose ring. I think OG needs to catch up the the times a bit. I mean for goodness' sake, my GM has big silver steel gauges (those swirl ones that look kinda cool)! I honestly don't think he personally cares that much but since it's a restaraunt opening all the corporate big dogs are on everyone's case for all of it to be perfect. Ugh.
I finished reading "Eclipse" last night & decided Bella is a moron. The man of your dreams, your SOULMATE asks you to marry him & you're too worried what your friends will think?! Oy. Move over, I'll marry him. And Jacob...just...ugh. That guy is an idiot. I just bought "Breaking Dawn" & I can't wait to get started.
My Aunt Charlotte is in town for the weekend, it's been ages since I've seen her it feels like. So on that note I'm going to go downstairs & socialize rather than complain to all my lovely readers about stupid people.

The City That Doesn't Sleep.
I'm FINALLY updating. I get so bad at this. My personal early New Year's resolution is to attempt to write one blog a day for at least a year. I think it's a really good way to track change in your life, but I always fall out of the routine.
Anyway, New York. Let's see, we got there on monday & went shopping in Times Square. The Virgin Record Store had tons of Twilight stuff, so I ended up with a poster & a t-shirt that says "What if I'm not the superhero?" on the front & on the back it says "What if I'm the bad guy?" I think it's kind of a fitting shirt for me regardless, haha. I think that was the day we saw Clint Eastwood in Rockefeller Center...I can't remember, it's all a blur. Tuesday was the first day we went to Al's show, I think, & I got some awesome pictures! I posted them on my Facebook if anyone wants to see. Hmm...wednesday we watched Alli on Racheal Ray & then there was more shopping I think...oh yeah, that was the day I met up with my friend Tina! We did some more shopping in Times Square & I ended up buying another Twilight tee, haha (*sigh*...oh, Edward). Thanksgiving Day Alli was off & we caught the tail-end of the parade & walked around Chelsea for awhile, then went back to Alli's apartment & baked cookies. Black Friday was STUPID, we made the mistake of going into Macy's (the largest store in the world, by the way) & it was a MAD HOUSE. There were lines for the ESCALATORS. Craziness. We saw the show again that afternoon (Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas were in attendance for that one) & then headed home that night. Somehow it always seems to take so much longer to get home than it does on the way to a vacation. But all in all it was really fun.
Today I started training at Olive Garden, which is really completely pointless considering I quit there in January so it's not like I've already forgotten everything. So I got up retardedly early (had to be there at 7am...yuck) & half-slept through a bunch of lectures about stuff I already know. And I have four more days of this. Ugh. We open on monday & they're expecting about 9,000 guests in the first week. Those of you that don't know restaraunt lingo, that's ALOT of people. So I hope that equals ALOT of money.
I suppose that's all for now, I have to get some work on some photos from a shoot I did for a friend before I go to bed.

Change Was Coming. I Could Feel It.
Just got home from NYC...will post all about it tomorrow.
"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Edward stand. "I'd better get home," he said.
I got awkwardly to my feet--I was stiff from sitting so still--& followed Edward out the front door. He went straight to his car.
"Will you stay?" I asked, no hope in my voice.
I expected his answer, so it didn't hurt as much.
"Not tonight."
I didn't ask for a reason.
...
After school, Edward & I were going to talk it out, I promised myself. I wasn't accepting any excuses.
He walked me to my truck, & I steeled myself to make my demands.
"Do you mind if I come over today?" he asked before we got to the truck, beating me to the punch.
"Of course not."
"Now?" he asked again, opening my door for me.
"Sure," I kept my voice even, though I didn't like the urgency in his tone.
...
He beat me home. He was parked in Charlie's spot when I pulled up in front of the house. That was a bad sign. He didn't plan to stay, then. I shook my head & took a deep breath, trying to locate some courage.
He got out of his car when I stepped out of the truck, & came to meet me. He reached to take my book bag from me. That was normal. But he shoved it back onto the seat. That was not normal.
"Come for a walk with me," he suggested in an unemotional voice, taking my hand.
I didn't answer. I couldn't think of a way to protest, but I instantly knew that I wanted to. I didn't like this. This is bad, this is very bad, the voice in my head repeated again & again.
But he didn't wait for an answer. He pulled me along toward the east side of the yard, where the forest encroached. I followed unwillingly, trying to think through the panic. It was what I wanted, I reminded myself. The chance to talk it all through. So why was the panic choking me?
We'd only gone a few steps into the trees when he stopped. We were barely on the trail--I could still see the house.
Some walk.
Edward leaned against a tree & stared at me, his expression unreadable.
"Okay, let's talk," I said. It sounded braver than it felt.
He took a deep breath. "Bella, we're leaving."
...
"Okay," I said. "I'll come with you."
"You can't, Bella. Where we're going...it's not the right place for you."
"Where you are is the right place for me."
"I'm no good for you, Bella."
"Don't be ridiculous." I wanted to sound angry, but it just sounded like I was begging. "You're the very best part of my life."
"My world is not for you," he said grimly.
...
"You promised! In Phoenix, you promised that you would stay--"
"As long as that was best for you," he interrupted to correct me.
"No! This is about my soul, isn't it?" I shouted, furious, the words exploding out of me--somehow it still sounded like a plea. "Carlisle told me about that, & I don't care, Edward. I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you--it's yours already!"
He took a deep breath & stared, unseeingly, at the ground for a long moment. His mouth twisted the tiniest bit. When he finally looked up, his eyes were different, harder--like the liquid gold had frozen solid.
"Bella, I don't want you to come with me." He spoke the words slowly & precisely, his cold eyes on my face, watching as I absorbed what he was really saying.
There was a pause as I repeated the words in my head a few times, sifting through them for their real intent.
"You...don't...want me?" I tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed in that order.
"No."
I stared, uncomprehending, into his eyes. He stared back without apology. His eyes were like topaz--hard & clear & very deep. I felt like I could see into them for miles & miles, yet nowhere in their bottomless depths could I see a contradiction to the word he'd spoken.
"Well, that changes things." I was surprised by how calm & reasonable my voice sounded. It must be because I was so numb. I couldn't realize what he was telling me. It still didn't make any sense.
He looked away into the trees as he spoke again. "Of course, I'll always love you...in a way. But what happened the other night made me realize it's time for a change. Because I'm...tired of pretending to be something I'm not, Bella. I am not human." He looked back, & the icy planes of his perfect face were not human. "I've let this go on much too long, & I'm sorry for that."
"Don't." My voice was just a whisper now; awareness was beginning to seep through me, trickling like acid through my veins. "Don't do this."
He just stared at me, & I could see from his eyes that my words were far too late. He already had.

Sorry I Missed A Day...
I've been so preoccupied reading "Twilight" I barely have time for anything else! I wish I had an Edward (which is, I'm almost certain, why these books are so popular). I'm going to see the movie again tonight. It's my new addiction, & if you know nothing else about me, know that I have a very addictive personality.
My cousin came in town friday night, & we had "Thanksgiving" at our house on saturday morning, which was nice. But now I'm all confused about my dates because I feel like Thanksgiving has already passed. It's strange. Then last night we went to the Nine Inch Nails concert with Sidney (her boyfriend) & his parents - they are so sweet, they bought ALL of us tickets & wouldn't even let me pay them back! The show was great, they had some awesome special effects, & our seats weren't too bad either.
Cristen & I went to church this morning & it was just what I needed. The sermon was about stress (& if you've been reading my blog AT ALL you know I've had plenty of stupid reasons to be stressed!), & it helped me to calm down & remember to take one day at a time & remember that God has it all worked out already. So I'm trying to take a deep breath & put everything off that can wait until I get back.
Tonight I'm taking Bill to the Dunns house to stay. It always makes me sad to leave him somewhere...he has such sad little puppy eyes, & I wonder what it must be like, being such a little dog in a big strange place & not knowing if your best friend will ever be coming back. It makes me sad just thinking about it...moving on.
I sure hope I've remembered to pack everything...we're leaving at 5am tomorrow & I know I won't be coherant enough to remember ANYTHING then, so cross your fingers for me, haha.
OH! I almost forgot! Be sure to watch the Rachael Ray show the day before Thanksgiving, my sister is going to be on it. http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/ (<~Click on 11/26 for details; that's her standing right behind Rachael holding a gift.)
And now I'm off to read more of my book. It's getting better every page, Edward & Bella are playing baseball with the Cullens & the "others" just showed up. If you haven't read these books, DO IT NOW, I'm so not even kidding. Here's the trailer to inspire you:
Have a good Thanksgiving, everyone be safe. (I still don't have a cable for my laptop so I won't be posting until I get back.)

And So The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb.
So "Twilight" was amazing. Never read the books & never really had any strong desire to (in spite of everyone telling me I would love them), but I went to the midnight showing of the movie last night with co-workers & now I'm hooked.
I like to watch movies like that before I read the book, because then I'm not disappointed in either one. The general consensus last night was that most everyone liked it, but there were a few of the hardcore fans that were disappointed. The only bad thing about seeing a movie like that is that people kept blurting out things like, "That's not what he said in the book!" And since the fan-base of this series seems to mostly be 12-year-old girls, there was alot of giggling in places that really weren't funny, which ruined the moment several times.
Overall & all that aside, I was so addicted even in the middle of the movie haha. I wanted it to just keep going forever. So now I'm reading the first book & seeing the movie again tonight with my cousin. Hehee.
Go see it, even if you think you don't want to. Do it now.
