What I've been up to...

So I realized I haven't talked about what I've been up to lately... so I thought I'd take a moment to blog just because...

The past week or so has been spent going out with my parents looking at model homes for decorating ideas for our house, stuff like that. We have everything picked out already- the tile, the wall color, though the house hasn't been built. We won't have time during the schoolyear, so it has to be done now. Since we have the tile and all those goodies established we can move onto the furniture/decorating. My mom is figuring out how many couches, stuff like that we'll need and playing around arranging the furniture on the floor plans. My mom also wants a whole price list and everything. I have all of the furniture for my room, bathroom, and closet picked out and priced out for her, so I'm all good.

I've been trying to make it to the gym 2-3 times a week... I'm doing it. I'm working on my chest a lot right now.

I think you guys are pretty up to date in the guy department. Still closeted... still not out... still not sure about a lot of things... still seeing The Guy... but not dating...

I've been applying for new jobs. I love tutoring at the high school, but the pay is no longer as good as it once was because everyone else in the district got raises except tutors. I did apply for a marketing/video editing/journalism related job all in one... the pay would probably suck, but the networking opportunities would be invaluable and learning all that stuff. I applied for a job as a sales/training rep for a communication company that deals with educational technology. It pays $30 an hour. Also applied for a job as a recruitment officer at one of the local community colleges. The pay is $24 an hour, plus mileage, plus gas, but it would require some nights and weekends. Hard to pass up though. I also still want to sub in my mom's school district, but there aren't any openings for me to apply. I've been checking daily.

My summer school class is Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and is nothing but busy work. Each day our homework is to pick out a main point in the reading for that day and summarize it. It is an upper division class!!! I don't really care for the class since it is Anth 1 all over again. I do however like the couple kids I have met in there- the lesbian girl and a kid who I went to elementary school with up until 6th grade, then he went to the other middle school, and other high school. He is also a year ahead in college like me. 2 more class meets, 1 more response paper, and the final paper.

I want to go to a lot of concerts... Daughtry is at the OC Fair tommorow night. Blue October/Plain White Tees are going to be at the OC Fair also. Snow Patrol will be at the Greek Theater next week. My friends who want to go are away taking summer school. The local friends who are in town don't like the bands or can't go... so I don't have anyone to go. Kinda sucks...

This week I have a lunch date with a friend each day... fun times.

I've talked to my best friend down in Misissippi and we're both very excited about me coming out. Everytime he calls me it seems I'm in the car driving, but it's cool and helps pass the time. Still haven't heard from my cousin's in OKC. My younger cousin back there is being reviewed on the 6th at work and can't come to OKC to see me. My other cousin hasn't said a thing and at this point I don't expect her to. Update: mom is on the phone talking with my aunt and I talked to my aunt for a moment. She said she didn't know about my cousin having a review that day. She said my other cousin is probably not going to come to OKC because she is scared of driving out to OKC, but also can't afford to take off work. My aunt said she may drive my uncle to work and come into OKC to have lunch with me on the 31st (when I have the short layover in OKC. So we'll see... the 6th is still up in the air.

My lesbian cousin apparently had her baby on the 11th of July. She found me on myspace and I added her. Her page was private and since I'm curious I added her. Her page is... DIRTY. She is a porn star and has done some porn apparently. There are pics of her all over her page with just stars covering her private areas and stuff... I can only think eeeeew that is my cousin and how she was raised so badly by my cousin and how there was no stability in her life.

Family drama sucks. Enough said. Feelings get hurt. People cry. I'm trying to be strong and not complain.

My sister's driving is still as scary as ever. She starts college in mid August. She can't get her license until the end of September. I'm not taking her to the train station- my mom may, but my mom will have to get up earlier to do that next year. My sister still needs help turning the wheel while making a turn left or right. She has no depth perception. We're going to be car shopping soon for a car for me so she can have mine... that is if she can get her license... if she passes the test.

So what's up guys? What have you guys been up to? I know this was kind of long and rambling, but I'm in a rambling/talkative mood.
