The espresso machine broke during the morning rush this morning. That's kinda how my entire day has been.
Possible tattoo appointment at 7. I hope so. I got paid big bucks today and and it's been so long since I've splurged and spent money on myself. Carrie priced it $100 less than I was expecting so SCORE big time.
I also have acid reflux today. Why only today, I have no clue. but I hurt and it's gross and I want it to stop.

Today I was supposed to hang out with Tim until it was decided that neither of us were going to drive 30 miles to hang out. So I contemplated hanging around the house all night, bummin'
but instead I said "eff that," and decided to go get some coffee and see where the evening took me. I ended up going on a massive bike ride with Zack and Sam after seeing them at the Coffee Grounds. It's nice reacquainting with old friends.
It's only 10:30 and I'm so ready for bed. I can't decide if Starbucks has me on a good sleeping schedule or a bad one. Early to bed, early to rise is how it's supposed to be, I hear, but I feel like I'm missing out on so much living because all I wanna do it sleep!
Apparently, Starbucks opens at 3 am on Black Friday. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I know that's far away but 3 am is totally legit to start cursing at now, right?
The internet keeps me from completing my internet school. ugh.

Added peonies yesterday. I'm adding color & another flower in a few weeks. I plan on adding a background/filler eventually. I'm not sure how it's going to be. I also want to make the outline of Indiana a little thicker so it isn't as awkward looking.

I just registered for Humanities & Interpersonal Communication and dropped Econ, because I found out that Econ will not transfer.
I will be taking 18 credit hours online and working 2 1/2 jobs. Experienced college students: Do you think that's going to be too much? The classes are:
Art History
Intro to Humanities
Intro to Interpersonal Communication
Intro to Philosophy
Geography
Intro to Sociology
I'm thinking that none of these classes will be too difficult, and they are all online so I think I can manage it. I want to get as much done at Ivy Tech as possible to save money. and I want to get out of this apartment as much as possible (ISU library, Coffee Grounds studying).
I dunno. I hope this is a good idea.

The more I look into IU, the more excited I get.
I'm thinking either Communications & Culture or Tourism Management, though I'm leaning more towards C&C.
I know this girl named Amantha who has gotten her entire schooling paid for so far plus refund checks through scholarships. I'm pretty sure I would be able to get that as well, considering my financial needs. I've started looking up scholarships on fastweb and similar websites, and I'm going to the ISU library tomorrow to start working on the essays and stuff.
I'm a little worried about not getting accepted, though. I really slacked off this last semester and didn't care. It was all online and I got a D- in my Bio class. My GPA is only 2.8 and that is really terrible. I took 13 credit hours through VU in high school and my GPA from that was like 3.5. So maybe it will balance out slightly. I'm going to really buckle down this semester and try, because that is really my problem. I don't try. I could do so well if I gave a shit, which I never did. Now I do. Hopefully it isn't too late.
I also do not want to live in a dorm. So I think my plan is to start checking out apartments soon, and probably put down a deposit in a couple of months with my refund check. Then I will take out a student loan and pay off the apartment with that and get a part-time job, so I can focus on school and not have to worry about paying bills or being homeless during the breaks.
At first I was really hesitant in going to Bloomington because of Corey and our relationship. Then he was going to move with me, so we made frequent visits and applied for a few apartments which we got rejected for because of my credit. Now he doesn't know if he want to move with me in the fall, and I'm thinking he probably won't. But I'm actually okay with that. I mean, it will be tragic at first to not spend every second with him like I am used to. But if we are meant to be together, we will be okay living apart. You know? and if not, then we weren't meant to be. It would be really dumb of me to let our relationship keep me from moving/education.
I'm really excited to move. I'm homeless after May unless my roommates decide to sign on for 3 more months, which I don't think they will :(. I want to travel around all summer and be a bum or something. I really want to follow Warped Tour for awhile (Jessicaaa let's go!). Other than that I dunno what I want to do. I know that I will not live in Shelburn ever again. We'll see where/how I end up. Exciting!

My internet has been dead.
I'm taking a Greyhound from Indy to Milwaukee this weekend. Corey's been telling me it's going to suck but I've ignored him, but today I read a bunch of horror stories about riding greyhound and now I fear for my life. This is going to suck so hard. I'm scurred, for real. There is going to be three hours where I will be stuck in Chicago at five a.m..
Someone tell me your awesome greyhound experience, please. Reassure me that I will live to see Tuesday.

****First of all, I am selling two Rise Against tickets for Chicago on 11/20. It's at the Congress. All ages, General Admission, and sold out. $90 or best offer.*****
I want to make this a food blog, because um, I love food. and I love to cook it. I want to share the awesomeness.
I cook vegan, and all the ingredients I've ever used have been found in Terre Haute. Herbs & Heirlooms is miraculous. So is the Nutrition Quest store on Davis and the Asian Market.
Last night for dinner I made Pad Thai.
1 16 oz pack noodles
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup mirin
3 TBS Ketchup *(recipe below)*
3 TBS Tamari or soy sauce
1 1/2 TBS lime juice
1 TBS hot sauce
2 TBS cooking oil
1 pack tofu
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup chopped nuts
2 cups bean sprouts
Cook noodles according to package.
Whisk together agave, mirin, ketchup, tamari, lime juice, and hot sauce.
Heat oil and fry tofu until brown on both sides (usually about five minutes). Add garlic and fry for another 30 seconds. Combine noodles and sauce, stir, then add tofu. Garnish with nuts and sprouts.
KETCHUP
(I don't eat high fructose corn syrup, so I make my own ketchup.)
1 6-oz. can of tomato paste
1 1/2 TBS vinegar
1 TBS sweetener (most sugar is not vegan, so be careful if you're really that serious about it. I use Florida Crystals, it's a little pricey but it's bone char free.)
1 TBS Braggs/ soy sauce
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 TBS water
Simmer all ingredients in a saucepan on medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stir often. Let it cool and store in refrigerator in an air-tight container. It will keep for about 2 weeks as long as the lid is on tight.
I made Granola this morning for breakfast and YUM.
3-4 cups of rolled oats
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/8 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 TBS cocoa powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sweetener (see above for sugar caution)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup cranberries
*add any dried fruit of your choice.
Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl, mix together oats, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, sesame seeds, and flaxseed. In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, cocoa, cinnamon, and sweetener. Add this mixture to the large bowl and combine well. In a lasagna pan, spread mixture evenly and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top layer is browned. Flip over with a spatula and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Mix in dried fruit and let cool, stirring every 10 minutes so it doesn't clump.
On another note, it is 2:30 and I've been watching MADE all day. Does this show make anyone else tear up every freaking episode? They just made some fat bitch into a model and I cried for like, five minutes after she won. wtf?

Good morning! Corey is sleeping and I am not. I'm drinking chocolate coffee and watching John Mellencamp on Vh1 Classics. It's really nice outside. I am going to propose a roadtrip when he wakes up.
I've been thinking about majors and colleges a lot lately, which is a good time for it considering I've already started. I'm only taking online generals now though so no big deal. I'm thinking about Journalism. I want to do something in the music industry but I can't play an instrument or understand so I think journalism would be a good choice. And of course I want to go to IU, but there is a minor complication that is holding me back. I'm so jealous of everyone who is living away right now. Emily is in Oakland California! I am in Terre Haute Indiana. lame. I would like to move away, I'm just not sure where yet.
Steven Tyler is so fucking ugly. gross
It's been decided that Corey and I are attending the Fest this year in Gainesville. We need company, though. By company I mean gas assistance. I think it's a better idea to fly. So we'll see.
Ethans going away party was last night. I missed 98% of it because I was at home trying to make him an orange pomander. It's really sad that he's leaving and I feel especially bad for Corey.
I'm gonna go wake him up and make him invite Ethan on an Indy roadtrip.

Remember when livejournal used to be cool? I do. LJ used to be where it was. I miss coming home and documenting my days. It's fun to go back and read them, so I shall begin again yay.
I've been staying at Corey's the past few nights. I've fallen in love with his family completely. I got kicked out of the apartment I was living in because mom & James broke up and he moved back in. So I'm back at moms, sort of. I try not to make anything too permanent. Anyway, it's wonderful of the McLeish's the let me stay there so I don't have to stay here at mom's.
Yesterday Corey and I got up and went to Old Mill Dam. I love that place tonssss. I can't wait for better day and more adventures. We've heard stories about it being haunted because apparantly train track 666 runs through there? Something like that. We didn't get a chance to explore and find out because a train was on the tracks the whole time. But Eric told us interesting stories about his friends finding murdered animals and some animal without a jaw there or something. sweeeeet. The weather was kind of cold so we are going to go back some nicer train-free day and see what's up.
We went on a walk after that and he showed me how to climb across buildings. He wouldn't do it with me though because apparantly it's a bad idea to climb on top of a bank roof in daylight? Who knew.
The guy from Navarro's decided he would give me another chance, so I met with him in the afternoon and he's letting me start there on Monday.
After that I had to work which was sad. I went back over there after work and watched some sketchy Masters of Horror movie.
Today we took his car to a shop and had to walk back. but we discussed living plans and it's nice to know that I'm not going to be completely screwed if Janel & Shannon decide they would rather not get an apartment.
I worked an interesting day today. Basically, the cardboard Jared got kidnapped and the managers made a huge deal of it. Soni called Corey and threatened to call the cops if he didn't have it by ten and said not to be surprised if I lost my job because of it. and I got absolutely PISSED so I called and yelled at Soni and it was awesome. I've never had the guts to stand up for myself like that, but man, I was pissssssssed. I quit. It's awesome.
I have to finish the week there, which is only tomorrow and Saturday. Then I start at Navarros on Monday, so I'm not real worried about any of it.
Corey's coming here in a little bit to stay because he is fantastic, and we are going to watch some scary shit. yeahhh.
I'm going to start taking pictures again. I have a nice camera but I never feel motivated to use it. I used to alllllll the time. You know, back when LJ was cool. I'm bringing lj backkkkk.

I have the WORST feeling in my stomach. I have no idea what is going on. I had to leave work because I can't stop crying. I'm so worried. I hope everything is okay. I don't know who to talk to or what to do because I don't know what is going on or what is wrong. I just have a terrible terrible feeling. I'm so so scared.
and I have a UTI, and I have to pee every two seconds. It feels like I have a sore throat in my vagina.
and I have to take the SATs at 7:45 in the morning. and I can't cancel it this time. and this is the worst absolute timing for me to feel like any of this because my acceptance into IU is probably going to be based off my scores.
godddddddddddd i'm so scared. There is no way I'm going to be able to function like this in the morning. If anybody hears anything please let me know.
