Ahhhhhhhhhh Project due. That is all. Dennis and I are still talking via text, but grr, still going no where. Why do guys either just want me to be a friend or just to have sex with? I want the inbetween! I choose the wrong guys. Or they choose me. Something.

After working on studio work this week, I ventured home on Thursday morning for Thanksgiving. It was a little celebration, but it was nice to not have millions of people for once. I brought cut-out leaf cookies; I had to buy my first rolling pin for them. After dinner I ran on the treadmill and then headed to Coralville. Friday I went shopping for the first time. I've never shopped on Black Friday before and it wasn't too bad. I didn't think it was that busy. We went to Coral Ridge first then came home and had Thanksgiving with mom then went to the outlet mall. I found some Christmas extras and mom bought me these really cute owl earrings, but I won't get them until the holiday.

It's strange that this semester is only 3 more weeks. It's crunch time. Today I have to finish 3 perspectives, get a good chunk of research done and finally do this reading for my weaving class. Also, I've been asking around for the assignment sheet for English since I was ill when she handed it out but no answers yet. :c Anyway, I'm excited to be home for more than 3 days at a time over break.

Tomorrow I'm going to visit a mosque here in Ames. All the girls in class have to cover our hair, where long sleeves and pants, and wear socks to take our shoes off. It should be interesting, I'm just angry I have to get off work early for it. I already missed a lot of work with being ill and Thanksgiving break.

I think David and I are finally done. I won't miss it, it was just bad for me. I told him off for kissing me this summer and how it played with my emotions. He gave me this bs answer and I told him he can't just kiss girls because they are sad. It doesn't work that way. So he apologized to me, but I left it at that. I wasn't about to say it's alright, so I just didn't respond after his apology.

Nothing much. Finally done with H1N1, just working on all the homework I missed. I lost a few pounds, so I'm trying really hard to keep it off now. Yesterday Dennis, Marta, Stewart and I went bowling and played at the arcade. I played DDR and I'm sore today. I think it's because I had been just sitting and sleeping for the past week. The bowling was really nice. The waitstaff seats you and serves you food and drinks while you play and you get to sit on sofas. It was pretty neat. Afterward we watched Star Trek and I actually liked it. I'm excited for the next one.


**EDIT**

OMG. Yum. I've always loved Zachary Quinto as Siler in Heroes, but add in Chris Pine and I almost couldn't watch Star Trek. Drool.

( Food Diary )

So it's offical. I have H1N1 and it's awful. Yesterday was probably the worst. Today my temperature is below 100, but I still have the chills with sweats. I can be out and about with people when my temperature is normal without medication for 24 hours. I hope tomorrow will be my good day. Mom is thinking about taking me home today, but I just don't wanna. My home is my apartment. Today I actually feel hungry though!

( Food Journal )

So I'm sick. I'm supposed to remained isolated until I feel better and my fever is gone. They don't know what I have, could be a cold or H1N1. Scary. Food diary has been better due to this though. Luckily I have been able to work on things at home. I'm super tired, but hopefully I can get my renderings done and some research for a paper on Le Corbusier.

1. Still no kiss from Dennis - My giddiness had taken a back seat and so I am going to wait for him to make a move. I mean, really, he's old enough to take a hold of the situation. I've made all the decisions and all the moves. I'm done for a while. I don't want to give up yet. But I need to figure out where this is going. I feel like he at least has good intentions towards me, i.e. he doesn't just want me for sex. In fact, Kathleen and I were wondering if it would even come to that...but what 25 year old doesn't want to have sex. He better not be weirdly religious. I think he would have mentioned something if he was.
2. Hit on by 33 year old in the bar Saturday night. Gross. He wasn't gross, just not interested in a guy to hits on college girls and works at MidAmerican Energy.

That's about it. No food journal, coming again soon.


I love Mondays. It's strange, but Tuesdays are my "Mondays". I only have studio and work on Mondays so it's a really easy day, but Tuesdays are different story. I have 4 classes and I'm stuck on campus until 5:30. Usually the only thing that keeps me going is my Caribou break, but I'm really low on the money department so probably no coffee tomorrow. I need all the money I can keep just to drive home for break. Luckily the girls need a ride home and they always help me with gas. Such good girls.

I really need a bookshelf for my room. I need a trip to Urban Outfitters to get some apartment stuff. Kelsey and I are going crazy shopping at Jordan Creek in the beginning of next semester, maybe I can find something then.

( Ah ha! Food Journal/Workout Log )

Here is run-down of current events:
Monday night I was going fucking crazy. I watched Gossip Girl and it happened to be a really kissy episode. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted to kiss Dennis. It was so bad I couldn't concentrate on studying and I contemplated driving over to his place. I knew my silly girl brain was acting up, so I called Leah and I desperately told her to calm me down. It worked and she told me I could wait until Saturday. It didn't help that we had a conversation off and on all day via text that kept going no where. It bothered me, but I didn't want to be annoying so I just let it all slide. I am not going to text him again until he texts first or Saturday comes (since we have a date).
Tuesday I had a huge exam in art history. I had to memorize 170 slides, but I think I totally dominated it. Yeesssss. We just found out the final exam is cumulative so we'll have about 300 slides to memorize. I might shoot myself if he doesn't tone the number down.
Today was a nice laid back day. Kelsey and I stressed Marta out by redesigning the floor plan again. Then I went to work. I was feeling really quiet, and apparently my co-workers noticed and were wondering what was wrong. It made me feel really good that people actually notice and care about me. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I was just having a quiet day, nothing was the matter. After work I rushed to the portfolio review and got some really good ideas from professionals. I told them what I wanted to change about mine and we agreed on many things. Good night all around.

David invited me to play this "Werewolf" game right? Well he called today and told me about it and told me he'd really like to see me and sounded all flustered. I was like, I don't need this. You REALLY had your chance. But in actuality, I said I'd go and bring a friend with. So I frantically scrambled to get a friend to come with. Megan, out of town. Leah, Working. Allison, babysitting. Gina, in Mexico. Kelsey, check! Luckily she knows about my history with David and said she'd be my backup. I really don't want anything to happen with him, obviously I am totally into Dennis, but my body always says otherwise. Drinking will of course be involved. Kara will be there (the girl who was grinding with David way back in the Summer) and I just know I'll get jealous. It is pisses me off that I have to feel that way for someone I don't want to be with.

Found this article on MSN and thought it was interesting, but really ridiculous. ( If He Lets You Buy His Underwear, You're the One. )

Today was an awesome day. I went to the post office and picked up my computer programs, went to studio, then work. After work it was so nice I couldn't just be inside, so I went for a run. I chose to run in my neighborhood, because I knew campus would have too many people. Luckily I did because as I ran past my friend Jack's house, he happened to be sitting on his patio and yelled at me. We chatted for a good half hour. It was really nice, he's such a good guy. We talked about the girls in Rome and about when he would see Liz again. It sounds like he has a crazy semester, but has a couple jobs already lined up. Now I'm taking a study break (art history hell exam tomorrow) and waiting for Gossip Girl.

Friday evening I traveled to Cedar Falls to visit friends and had a lot of fun. A little too much fun with my bottle of wine. 2nd time I've thrown up thus far. It was nice to see Shannon, Kam and Bryan. Kam has some crazy friends. I also learned the amazingness of Dollar Tree. Spent a little too much money though, only have $30 to my name right now. Get paid on Friday at least.

Saturday evening after I came back from UNI I was still not feeling the best, so I baked when I should have been doing homework. I'm suffering on the homework front, but I am stocked for the week with foods. At 11 I went over to Dennis' and he helped me get my music back plus I grabbed over 1,000 songs of his. I gave him quiche and cookies in return. He has a huge music collection and his movie collection blew my mind. I've never seen so many except for my dad's collection. So we did that until 4am, it took forever. Sunday it was another nice day, so I went for a run and then went over to Dennis' again. We were going to play video games but his xbox froze while trying to update, soooooo we watched Hostile. We made two trips to Walmart that night and each time he openned the car door for me. He's just such a gentleman. Still no kiss, but the hand/arm caressing progressed to where we couldn't get our hands off eachother. There was no touching besides the arms, although he did touch my boob several times, but I don't think he realized it. I'll just keep thinking that. haha, I mean if he isn't going to get that far until a kiss is involved first. I think I have to give him a peck on the cheek next time I see him to get the ball rolling.

This week has some crazy homework doing and late nights. Last weekend before Thanksgiving so our studio group has to get a lot done. I will be in Ames most of break anyway, but not sure about Marta and Kelsey. Weekend is full already with palns: I get to play with Allison on Saturday night. Saturday day Dennis and I are going to the Reiman Gardens. Friday night David wants to play some game called 'Werewolf' with me and a group of people. Sunday is a major studio and weaving day.

Last night I decided it would be a good thing to buy Windows 7. I love my computer. It still has a lot of memory, hard drive space and has been really good to me, while I've watched others crash and burn. It was only $9, so practically free and the price wasn't going to stay that way for long. I go about upgrading my system and it almost finishes when something goes very wrong. My computer keeps saying the OS was unsuccessfully installed and needs to reinstall the old OS. SO it restarts over and over and over again, saying the exact same thing in a never ending cycle. I finally got it to stop on that scary black screen you get when your computer is turned off wrongly. To explain: basically, the new OS did not install and the old OS was totally gone, so I had absolutely no operating system and my computer was running off the installation disk. I have been texting Dennis the entire times and he volunteered his services. I felt bad, but almost too frazzled to care, so he drove over at 11:30 that night to play with my computer. Perks of seeing someone who works in the computer section of Best Buy. So I fed him some muffins I just so happened to make, and we formatted my system therefore deleting everything off of it. It was heart breaking. He even made me click the button. Luckily I saved everything to my external (best fucking device I ever bought) except that somehow I forgot to put my music on there, although I swear I did. So it's gone. All the music I've collected since high school and pirated and bought off iTunes. Gone. Also, when to the iTunes store to see if I could get it back, but I'm at a loss for that. Hopefully Dennis knows some tricks. I mean I fucking bought them. Sooooo right now I'm digging through my car cd to scrape what little music is there. All the girls in studio heard about my situation and are letting me have their music. Kelsey put all her music on her external for me to pick and choose from already for tomorrow. She's so thoughtful. Dennis is also going to spend Saturday night getting music back, semi-illegally, with me. He's so nice. I told him I'd pay him in food. I was thinking of making a quiche, so that will do. Anyway, I'm just trying to look at it as a blank slate. Clean computer. Clean itunes. Clean life. Just need to buy a new virus program. Maybe the bookstore has that for super cheap too.

Friday, I am heading up to UNI after I work and meet the girls for some studio time. Tonight I learned some new photoshop effects. Now I'm just waiting for my programs to be shipped from the house so I can install them. All I have is Internet Explorer and iTunes.

Halloween was really fun and went by really fast. Megan and Cody came over to my place to get ready and started pre-gaming. Both Megan and Leah were my sheep. My skirt was pretty short and Kathleen kept goosing me. Then we headed over to my friends place to play some more. Here we waited for Leah, Geoff and Dennis. They all did a good job being friendly with my other friends. So proud. We left, I don't know when because I had already had a whole bottle of wine by myself plus a captian and coke. From there we just hopped around to bars and Keeley threw up all over Allison. Ew. At least she just laughed it off while I got Keeley some water. I'm pretty proud to say I can hold my own, minus that time in Toronto. After the bars closed Dennis walked me home and we played super nintento. We had a real hug goodbye.
Woke up still drunk and attemped to clean up after my sheep left fuzz all over.

Later on Sunday night I went over to Dennis' to watch The Orphan. It was pretty good. I liked the twist. Then I left with an akward hug and felt really weird on my drive home. He texted me he was sorry for the akwardness and that he just needs to take things slow. Actually this is what he said: "I'm sorry. You are incredibly beautiful and I love your personality. [aw] I really do enjoy spending time with you. I just really need to take things slow at the moment. I just don't want to rush anything and possibly hurt you." bam.
It's fine, I just feel like I'm 12. I'm just hoping when he finally kisses me, he just does it and it's amazing.

Bo Peep and her Sheep


Also, to put a face with the name: Dennis, the FBI agent.

Ugh, that rain on Thursday was really awful. Gina and I were wet the entire day. I swear my butt didn't dry until 2 pm and we left the house at 8:30 am.

I came home today to take my car into the dealership for an oil change and potential leaky tire. I went to the outlet mall and was disappointed at finding only really expensive Coach bags that I cannot afford. I felt really shabby in there- I had my American Appeal bag, which is bright yellow and a totally washable material, and I was still in my ISU shirt from work although no one could see it, I knew it was there. I went to Von Maur for a site visit to see the difference from the Valley West one. I found some new See Thru Soul jeans (I am determined to fit into them and my Express pair that are getting a little tight) and a cute new shirt. I am also determined to stop buying the same crew-neck short sleeved shirt, I have...8 in various colors. That's embarrasing. I wearing my orange one tomorrow.

So tomorrow I'm going to wake up early and study at Capanna, head to the dealership/do hw there, leave and either do more hw or look for a white dress for Leah at the mall, go get eyebrows waxed, drive off to dads and then head back to Ames for halloween goodness.
I'm pretty excited to finally be something sexy. I am going to wear tights though, because the hem of my shirt is right where my ass begins. Yep.

Work Halloween with Betsy - I was James and she was Thomas.

Losing track of what number this date is, but it was good. Dennis and I went to "Paranormal Activity". It was pretty funny actually. I laughed more than gasped. The girls around us were really scared though. They kept snuggling themselves deep down into their chairs. During the ending, the girl behind me kicked my chair she was so surprised. I wasn't angry, it just made me laugh. Although it was pretty funny, I didn't watch the last like 1 minute, because I didn't want that image in my head during sleep.
Good things: 
1) we held hands and he started it.
2) he picked me up, a first for us 
3) we played around in staples for while, nice that we could do something so menial together 
4) conversation was just perfect  - even the silence didn't feel strange
5) he always smells nice 
6) he wears the cutest glasses when he drives and watches movies 
7) he opened up my car door for me
8) he paid for the movie (I bought popcorn)
I wanted to give him a goodnight kiss, but was too shy. I texted him about it later and he said the same thing and brought up that his heart was still sore from his last relationship. AHH! Red Flag and the only bad thing about him.  I think if we continue dating and he brings that up again I might have to break things off. I don't want to be a rebound (although I rebounded for like an entire semester with Chester). Otherwise, I might just have to make a rule that he can't bring that up any more. It's a no no. But he's sooo perfect except for that. Damnit.

I invited Dennis to play with us for Halloween. He doesn't seem to have any plans yet, mostly because he still doesn't know many people here.  We don't know of any parties, so are probably just going to the bars.  I hope my outfit still fits.  I'm excited for my pumpkin carving tomorrow. I'm doing a lantern- haha a "jack-o-lantern!"

This weekend was super nice. I can't remember what it is like to have free time, I almost forgot how to just sit here and do nothing. But this weekend I had the most free time I've had in a while. North Grand Mall is done and the new project isn't looming quite yet. My group members and I went to Valley West Mall to research Von Maur. We also went shopping after we finished taking photos and discussing things we liked and thought could be improved. I bought some new shoes and I searched for some new apartment items (without much luck) to make it more homey. I think when Sarah moves in next semester, having a sofa will really help. Especially since it is a sectional, so we can rearrange. Any because I didn't find anything for the house, I settled for some mums and plopped them into a vase.

The Haunted Forest was alright this year. There was absolutly no line, so we got right in. It was really muddy and Brynne totally destroyed her shoes. She's pretty easy going and so it didn't bother her too much. I was a good independant girl and paid for myself before Dennis got there. It was enjoyable to go with him, even though he wasn't scared, he still laughed at things. I did get to hold his hand after my first few feeble attempts. We rented a scary movie (The Haunting in Connecticut, pretty awful) and I managed to hold his hand by the last 30 minutes of the movie. Still no kiss at the end of the night, but we reached the 3/4 hug. Not quite a full hug, but not a 'I don't know if I should hug you' hug. We have another date on Tuesday/Wednesday night to see "Paramoral Activity". Hopefully I don't pee my pants. The one thing that is really frustrating, is my acne. It was been so unmanagable this year. I don't even remeber having it this bad for this long, even when I was younger. I know most of it is stress, but I think it might be due to my new birth control too. Oh and I can't stop touching my face.

I told my mom I didn't want a graduation party and I thought she'd be fine with it, but she really wants me to have one. I didn't know she was that into that stuff. Soooo, I'll start planning over winter break. I've also decided I'm only going to my college's graduation, not the big one. My college will be long enough and I don't want me or my family sitting through the entire class ISU of 2010.

I've been working out pretty much everyday for 30 minutes since NGM project ended and I'm already seeing results. Excited. I wanna be toned.

"Offical" 1st date with Dennis was a success. I was was a little late for The Cafe, but he got there earlier and saw me pull in. Good sign I think. We talked about everything- hobbies, music, movies, family, free time, etc. After we finished eating we still sat there and chatted for half an hour more, then he had to go to work. Later tonight we + Leah and Brynne are heading to the Haunted Forest. I wanna hold his hand...I think I just need to do it and not think about it. Update on this later.

whats the grossest way you can think of to die? The scene in "Susperia" where the girl fell into barbed wire and couldn't get out. Awful.

North Grand Mall project complete as of monday and the critique went pretty well. Instead of the usual professors judge us we had acutal working professionals. It was a nice change and they definitly focused on different things, such as practicality. They really enjoyed our concept and color scheme. We were very happy with the end result. The new project is filling the department store vacancy in the mall. Our group is creating a Von Maur so we going to Des Moines to sketch and research.
I also just finished my scarf in weaving. I found a new yarn that is amazingly soft although it's kinda expensive. I think when I knit I'll use it. Now I'm onto my tapestry.
Dennis asked to see me on Tuesday night so I stopped by the bar at 11:30 and ended up staying there chatting until 1:30 am. It was nice to be with him casual one on one for the first time. He spoke a little too much about the ex and I'm thinking I might be his rebound. It's whatever at this point, but next time he brings her up I'll ask if he wants me to talk about all of mine. I seem to be collecting men I've dating now.
Tonight we are going to the advanced showing of The Fourth Kind and I was a preview last night- it looks scarier than I imagined. I suppose good first date film. I feel special because it doesn't actually come out until Nov 6.

Still to word from josh, but fine with me. I didn't wanna have to break things off. Of the majority of people I've been with I break things off with them and it always sucks. Dennis (who is definitly getting a nickname soon, becuase my ex-stepfather was named Dennis) will, by tonight, have seen me in person than Josh ever did. And I've only just met the guy.

*Update* Semi date went well and it ended in a one arm hug from both of us. "The Fourth Kind" was pretty awful, but I got some good grabbing his arm time and at least the movie was free. We want to see "Paranomal Activity" next and I told him I'd be in his lap during that. It's been sold out, so I hope we can get in. I'm considering ask him if he wants to see it Saturday night as like a second part of our lunch date. I'll see how lunch conversation goes.

( Food Diary )

I was really miffed that Josh and I were not offical up until recently, but now I'm glad we aren't. I met a new guy through friends on Friday night. I wasn't expecting to find him, because obviously I've been seeing Josh. His name is Dennis (about the only bad thing- need a nickname right away). He goes here, from minnesota, similar friends, doesn't smoke (like Josh) and he is a criminal justice major. He's cute and dress better than the other guy. Anyway, as my friend Allison said "he was digging my shit" haha and told me I should ask him out. The next night I was suppose to go to the haunted forest with leah, geoff and josh but all 3 bailed. It was fine for leah, she had good reason, but no call, no text, no nothing from josh. He was in Des Moines. Then I just to happened to meet up with the same friends from the night before, including Dennis. It was another good night and in the morning he asked me out- I intiated the conversation. So, we have 2 dates set up already. We are going to a movie premiere with a group on Thursday night and going for lunch on Saturday. Ah, excited!

Project critique tomorrow. The advisory board is coming for it, so we have to be extra good. Bought some new purple heels, so I'll wear those with a pencil skirt.

Food diary was pretty bad the last couple days. I blame it on my project.

This day was okay- just can't say no to ragoons.

Date 3 with Josh was a success! Besides the shrimp not being totally thawed the meal was pretty good. (Not as good as when I made it by myself though.) Then we played super mario and bonded over childhood memories. Still wouldn't tell me what his deal is, but even so we aren't offical. If we aren't by the 5 date I might ask about making it offical. He also showed me his 2 new tats- made me want my original bird tat. One with a really ornate tail and I would get it in color. I might ask Sarah to design me one or see if there are any art nouveau ones - my fav style or art. Anyway, hopefully we see eachother before 3 weeks is up. Trying to him to get to the haunted forest with a group and I.

My little bo pee outfit came! I tried it on before work and I need to lose a tiny bit of weight. It fits, but I'd like the waist to be a little less snug. First step of this is bringing my cupcakes to studio to share. Then once project is over (monday) I can workout regularly again.

Can't remember food for past 2 days so I will update this for the weekend.

Food:
B- cereal+light soy+oj

Nothing much to report. Trying to take each day in stride, due to homework overload.  Still having issues with my face. Boo.  Hoping that new birth control helps that.  I swear I've put a face mask on every other night.

So, I've been obsessed with this and it was a while ago, but I still think about it: http://www.hulu.com/watch/92561/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-puppies-dressed-as-cats  I just love the weird song.

*should have just thrown cupcakes away

I did work out today also. Pilates 30 min.

Spoke too soon about Josh! We are having a dinner date on Wednesday.  I might trying to coax what was wrong out of him...strategically.  He said he kinda missed me, which surprised me.  It was totally the best idea ever not to have sex with him right away. (Even though we both agreed to this, he actually started it first and I agreed.)  The chase is definitely still on. 

Had a very nice Friday night with Shannon and the girls.  It was pretty relaxing, I fell asleep when we were watching tv.  I'm so not used to sitting around watching tv.  We went out to eat, ummm Thai.  I realized I hadn't eaten at home since Thursday night by the wine glass sitting alone on the counter from pregaming that night. 

I bought a cute clutch, finally. I've been searching forever it seems. I also bought my halloween outfit today.  My bank account is suffering again, so I need to lay off a little bit.  Our project is coming down to crunch time this time next week, so I am preparing for that. Also I have paper (taking a break from that right now) and another project + critique Tuesday.  Busy busy.

Made curry finally. I'll be eating that huge thing for the rest of my life. geez.
