Just an ordinary day

2004-12-09T02:16:29Z

Today was a fairly ordinary day. I basically just went through the motions of my day as usual. The motions include waking up, throwing on clothes and going to work. Working however long I am supposed to and/or going to classes like I am supposed to and living for the very moment I can come home. Basically I am this way because I live for the weekends when I can see Mike again. He is totally my heart and soul. I have never met anyone quite like HIM. To me, he is amazing. He thinks he is ordinary or substandard but I don't think that at all. I wish for one day he could see himself through my eyes because to me he is utterly beautiful.

Chillin at Mike's

2004-12-05T01:43:41Z

So here I am chillin at Mike's house. He is playing Doom 3 and I am laying here writing in my livejournal. I bought a computer off of ebay with mike's help for one hundred and seventy five dollars. All I need for it to make it a working system is a hard drive, video card and network card :)
I got stuck with some pretty shitty scheduled days over finals week. There are two days out of the week where I am working both an open and a close.

That thing called love

2004-11-30T04:11:26Z

So here I am. It's 11 o'clock at night and I am laying here in bed perpetually watching movies and thinking about Mike. This is the story of my life lately or so it seems. I finished watching "Love Actually" and realized that I am slowly stifling myself trying to bury my feelings away for later as I wait for Mike to return them (well actually I think he returns them but I think he is just terrified to admit them because of his past). I suppose I am simply at the point where I just need that justification for all of the wonderful things we share together ... that I actually do mean something to him and am not simply his rebound girl. In my heart of hearts I know that I am not that ... I know that I mean far more to him than that but it's easy to let my mind get the best of me at times. I so hate the whole process of letting someone in ... it's so vulgar and agonizing! At any rate, the fruits of my passions poured out of me this evening in my latest poem. It follows:

The overwhelming nature of it all 11/29/04

I weep
Not out of sadness
But rather
Tears of joy
The overwhelmingness of it all
That feeling you get when you wrap up a secret so tightly
That feeling that you are a ticking time bomb
Waiting …
Waiting to explode
Worried that the slightest little imperfection
The timing
Threatens to ruin it all
Threatens happiness
Prophesizes misery
The sadness
The sadness
It overwhelms
It smothers
It threatens to snuff out my flames for you
Like a candle whose light has burned brightly what seems like decades
Oh the misery of it all
Oh the overwhelming nature of it all
Those tiny little words seem so innocent
And yet so ominous
So threatening
So frightening
That overwhelming concept of love

today's craziness

2004-03-10T18:58:33Z

Today ...at least so far has been very stressful. Mom fell in the atlanta airport and tore her rotator cuff. I am really worried about her and she is going to be needing a lot of assistance getting ready for work in the next few days. Then the credit card company called me and told me that my bill was overdue. Apparently I never saw the bill. And then the phone just keeps ringing off the hook all day. I really hope that things slow down tonight. I hope tonights HS201 class is interresting and fun.

So here I am still awake at 4:30 in the morning. I am just talking to people on yahoo messenger and typing in this live journal. Anyway, I am excited for the school year to start and yet simultaneously nervous. I hope that I do well in school and yet I know I will as long as I apply myself and attend class every single day.
I think mom and I are gonna go to the store tomorrow and get some groceries etc... I am hopeing to go and get my books for my classes on Tuesday. I am taking Chemistry, Physics, and Fiction. If I can manage to pass chemisty and physics this time around, I am gonna take chemistry 2, biology and maybe a math class in the winter. I think I should be able to crank out the rest of my classes pretty quick here.
I am not exactly sure what is going to happen with Dave. I am hopeing I guess that he will come to his senses but I do not know that that will be the reality of the situation.
Well...I am gonna email Gregg the pictures I took of him the last time he was here so he can show his mom and maybe even change his profile picture to something decent.

update for the benefit of Chaya Nicole Mazur

2003-05-01T01:21:47Z

I wanted to update my livejournal for the benefit of Chaya Nicole Mazur aka Baby Chaya. She was getting a tad bit upset that I hadn't written in my livejournal for eons.
Today at work was not too shabby...aside from the fact I forgot about the staff meeting and was subsequently written up for it. OOPS!! :O Anyway...the staff was really on top of things. Colleen Cassin is really an excellent guard. She really knows what she is doing. I think she should be one of the next in line for a crew chief or head guard position.
As for the rest of the day, I spent it being depressed about the fact that I am here and my baby is in NY whileing the hours away playing roller coaster tycoon.
I get to wake up and work bright and early at 515am tomorrow and then I have an interview for the backyard pools program through the YMCA. I am not sure if I want to work for them or not but I am going for the interview anyway.
I will probably lay in bed and chat to my baby until I get too tired to keep my eyes open, then close my eyes and dream of him...and then wake up at 415 ready to start my day all over again.

Not too much goin on letely...I just have a lot to do this weekend and I am lazy and don't want to. I am sure I will get it done...I just don't want to wait until the last minute. I am supposed to be going to the Japanese supermarket tomorrow to work on my project for intro to Japan. I gotta try to think about what I could make for dinner and have baby Chaya take pictures for me. Baby Chaya is in the kitchen on my laptop finnishing the outline for her speech she is giving tomorrow.
Not much else to say so I'll go for now.

vacation

2003-02-23T20:46:48Z

So here I am on Sanibel Island. I would normally be out on the beach but I started feeling a bit woozy so I thought I would lay down. This morning mom and I woke up at about quarter to 5 am to go shelling. We got up, got dressed in warmer clothes and walked across the bridge to the beach to brave the ocean breeze. Unfortunately today tuned out to be a rather dull day for shelling. Despite the fact that it stormed last night, there wasn't much of anything of interest on the beach in terms of shells this morning.
After we went shelling, mom and I came back up to the condo and went back to bed for a little while. I think mom slept for about three hours at which point she turned over and woke me up and said "let's go to breakfast". I of course was groggy but starving. I had been starving since we got up at about 5 am!!
Once we all got up and going we drove out to this little place called the Sunset grill to have breakfast. That is one of our regular breakfast joints on Sanibel Island. They serve coffee in glass glasses and they serve water in glass bottles. They used to serve glass bottle evians but now they serve something else. Whatever it is it comes in a blue glass bottle with a sun on it and it's good but it's not Evian.
Anyway, mom had eggs over easy with bacon, hash browns and rye toast (her usual breakfast), Ehren had an omlette. I can't exactly remember what was in Ehren's omlette but I do know it looked tasty, and I had a Garden Omlettte which has seasonal mixed veggies and cheese. I also had hash browns and wheat toast with it.
After we finnished breakfast, we drove out onto Captiva and went to the beach store. Mom bought me a new giant yellow beach towel, a pair of yellow speedo goggles and a palm tree pen.
After we left the beach store we were drving back on Captiva towards Sanibel and stopped in a few places known for Dolphin sightings. Unfotunately we didn't see any so we kept on driving back towards Sanibel. On our way back to Sanibel, we stopped in at Ding Darling Nature preserve. It was awesome this time cause I had my camera with me and was able to take some really cool pictures of the wildlife. We saw a ton of different varieties of birds, and some Aligators. I took lots and lots of pictures. I am gonna see if maybe I can paste one in here.
After we left Din Darling, mom stopped in at the Eckard drug store to buy hairdye. We then headed towards the back since I had mentioned earlier that I really wanted ice cream. Mom decided we should go to dairy queen. We popped into the dairy queen and had some ice cream sitting in the parkinglot. Mom got a large vanilla cone dipped in chocolate, I got a cookie dough blizzard with chocolate ice cream, and ehren got a peanut buster parfait.
After Dairy queen, we finally headed back to the condo because mom wanted to get her suit on and head down to the beach for a while.
I on the other hand, started feeling whoosey so I decided to sit down in the kitchen and throw together some tuna macaroni salad. After that I came upstairs and got on the computer hoping that Gregg would be here and then I realised...oh yeah...it's Sunday...Gregg ALWAYS works on Sunday.
Well I am getting a little sleepy so I think I want to take short nap now.

Death by Drowning

2003-02-14T00:53:00Z

Okay so I woke up this morning with every intention of going to class and then I kinda ran out of time/chickened out!! I guess I just didn't feel up to it. Chaya came over for a while. I think I am kind of a bad influance on her at times...then again...she is a bad influance on me too.
So as far as interresting/weird things that happened to me today, I talked to Eddie which was rather strange. was forward with him though..I told him I have a boyfriend now. He seemed to take it well. He said he can wait for me as long as it takes and then he preceeded to hit on tiff!! Apparently he and tiffany are gonna be in the same place at the same time while she is in Tennessee visiting her parents so they figure they should mett. That's all cool and good for those two but...I kinda feel jealous. I know I shouldn't...it's not like he is mine...and I know I have a wondful loving careing boyfriend who is my WORLD but...I still feel like he was mine first. I would about have DIED to meet him back in the day. I told him though that I don't trust myself meeting him because I am afraid I would do something I might regret. He knows I don't mean regret having sex with him because he is a bad guy or anything of that nature. He knows I mean because I love my boyfriend. But it still hurts cause tiff is one of my best friends...and she is gonna go meet a guy that I once had very very strong feelings for!! I dunno it just kinda cuts a little deep I guess.
To make they day even weirder, Gabe called me on my cell phone while i was driving back with chaya from taking her to her class. He was kinda short with me which I just assume is because he wanted to have phone sex and I was kinda rude with him. I didn't talk to him about anything of thaqt sort. All I talked to him about is normal stuff. Oh check out this quiz too...apparently the way I would kill someone if I was going to is by drowning them. I find that just slightly ironic since my job is that I am a LIFEGUARD!! lmao!! Anyway..better go baby chaya is waiting for me and we are going to the pool to go swim, play basketball and harass the people working.
You for some reason would drown someone

brawls with Oakland snowplowers and quizzes

2003-02-12T18:38:35Z

Today was a busy day!! I got up for work at 5 am and left my house with plenty of time to make it to work by 545am however when I got outside I found out that it had snowed last night! The roads were terrible and I skidded through the intersection at walton and livernois!! The light turned red before I was able to make it through the intersection but luckily people around me were paying attention. The roads were terrible all the way to school and I pulled into the Odowd lot to find that the parkinglot hadn't even been plowed...two plow guys were working their way across the parking lot and I was in kind of a rush at this point so I pulled into the closest spot I could get without cutting them off and parked and shut off my car. I was greeted by yelling from the plow truck yelling "Could you MOVE??!!?? I got back into my truck somewhat disgusted and angry because....I was gonna be late for work because of those assholes making me move my car and all because they hadn't yet plowed the damn lot!!
Anyway, the rest of the day went okay ....I had just barely enough time to run out to Arby's to get lunch before I made my wa home in between work and class. I spent a little time talking to m bf before he had to go to his class and then I worked on my paper for a while. Chaa stopped by and she was playing on the internet while I was working on my Enchiridion summary paper. In between bought of boredom and the need to take a nap...she kept me motivated by making me take the following quizzes to keep me awake:

Blues are some of the most loving, nurturing and

the planet is to give love, to teach love and
to learn that they are loved. Their priorities
are love, relationships, and spirituality.

I managed to finnish my paper just as it was time for me to leave for class so I packed up my book and notes and such...and I headed out to my truck. The drive to Seaholm High school was particularily trafficy today and it took me just slightly longer than usual to make it there. I arrived about ten minutes early and took the time to proofread my paper before I turned it in. I had made a few mistakes so I crossed them out with a black ink pen and made the corrections. Oh well...not perfect but...a pretty damn good job for totally last minute.
After class, I came home and made turkey burgers and pixie cut fries. I grilled onions for the burgers, cut up tomatoe and put lettuce and hivarti jalapeno cheese on them. They were not bad at all for turkey burgers.
Just as I was getting done with dinner, Chaya called and wanted to talk to me. Ehren answered the phone and was talking to her for a few minutes...and then I got up to get the phone from him. Chaya just wanted to know if I want to go to a basketball game on thursday. I told her I am not yet sure becasue I want to make sure that mom is not planning to go up to the condo this weekend.
Anyway...I came upstairs looking for my hunny and he just got home.

Today I woke up at about 8 am and immediately began studying for my Intro to Theatre test. I did study some yesterday with Sarah Moorehouse at Pic-a-deli. We went over the study guide and started to go over some of the multiple choice and true false questions off of ambers old test. It was soooo cool cause the test was pretty much exactly the same. 90% of the questions came directly off of her old test verbatum. I just thought it was cool that for once I didn't have to work so hard because it was made super easy for me. Anyway...I just have some homework and one more class today....the rest of my day should go pretty easy.

late night activities

2003-02-01T06:10:31Z

Well I went and picked Chaya up from work at Pic-a-Deli at approximately 9:30 p.m. and after that we went over to the Amerasuites over in Pontiac to say hi to Kim Miller at her birthday celebration. I of course had to act all paranoid with all of those underage drinkers surrounding me. I felt just a tad guilty pretty much shooing myself and chaya out of there...but I was afraid I might get busted...so I felt it best to high tail it on outta there!!
Chaya and I took a drive all the way out to where Rochester Road ends. We drove way way out past Dryden!! Anyway...on the way back we went through Romeo and we drove through Gerry's trailer park. It took us about two hours round trip...
I think we both had fun though...

Just another normal day

2003-02-01T00:03:26Z

Today was just another normal day. I woke up at 5 a.m. and got dressed and ready for work. I worked from 6 a.m. till 11 a.m. and we set up for tomorrow's swim meet. I think we got the swim meet setup done a hell of a lot faster than we usually do even though I still felt like I was dragging ass!!
Today was the first time I have gotten in the pool in about two weeks because I have been too sick with bronchitis to attempt it before now. Up until this past tuesday, the docotor told me I was to have minimal activity. I even got winded walking through WALMART with my brother!! Now THAT's fuckin sad!!
Anway, I am starting to feel much better. I still feel a little more winded than I would like to whenever I have to do something that requires me to be active such as walking up the stairs ...or even changing over the pool today. As a result, tomorrow is gonna suck!! I am supposed to make up the inservice that I missed when I was away on my visit to Gregg in NY. I am just hopeing that whoever I get as my victim for backboarding doesn't go down more than 9 feet because....honestly...I don't know if I can do it right now!! I just don't have a good lung capacity to begin with...let alone when I am sick! Anyway...I am hopeing Amber Dunn is in a good mood tomorrow so that she'll go kinda easy on me. I am still gonna let her know I think...simply because I want her to know that if I do not preform up to par that there is a reason for it...that I am not trying to cop out...that I am being honest with her...that I am not well enough yet to handle that much.
I talked to Gregg this afternoon in between work and my Head Guard meeting. Bless his heart!! He really IS a wonderful sweet man!! He treats me soooooo good and I love him soooo much!! I hope we are together forever.
The head guard meeting went well. Alexis updated us on "As the Pool Turns" as she called it. The first episode had to do with Adrienne Milantoni and this stalker .... a guy named Frank who is a friend of Scott Wilkinson's. Anyway...this is the same guy who tried imitating Raphael and LOST HIS SHORTS going off the one meter boards!!
The second installment of "As the Pool Turns" included how Adrienne has since broken up with her boyfriend Vito and is now seeing some Billy guy who hung out around the pool with her the whole night when she worked with Alexis!! I guess there was more too cause for some oddish reason Shannon added to the second episode of "As the Pool Turns" by preceeding to tell Mike Rossi that Chaya talks during her swim and then writes down too much time. Frankly...I love Shannon to death but I think she is being petty and a little on the rediculous side. I think she is just pissed cause she wants to win the most stuff for her "legitimate workouts". Well Shannon got her pedistal chopped down one notch after the meeting because...I approached her in private and had to "mother her" and tell her to remember to fill out the opening checklist. I warned Chaya about it too. She has been appropriately warned now...and if she doesn't do it ....next time I am gonna write her up. I apologise to Chaya for this but...I want to teach her a lesson. Length of time as a Head Guard does not a better Head Guard make!!
Anyway...I respect all of the people who might read this to keep it strictly confidential. If it seeps out I will be forced to have to make info of this nature private entries from here on out. I hope you all understand.
So here I am...chillin at home on a friday night ...waiting for chaya to call for me to go and pick her up from Pic-a-Deli. I hope they have a lot of business tonight so that Jane might consid keeping Pic-a-Deli open late at night more often.
Peace out homies. I will try to be better about regular entries now that I managed to fix my dumb ass computer!!

Good Morning

2003-01-25T14:47:13Z

Okay...so I feel like a shit! I woke up at about 8:30 this morning and couldn't get my butt around to go downstairs and get my medacine until almost 8:45!! The reason I feel like a shit is because Chaya spent the night at my house last night and...she and my brother have the same Saturday morning class!! Anyway, I thought to myself as I am standing there drinking my morning glass of water to wash down my antibiotic "I wonder what time Ehren and Chaya's class starts?" I went through the usual mental routine... "Should I wake her or shouldn't I wake her? On the one hand if I wake her she might be mad if I wake her up too early, On the other hand she might be mad if she is late for class. Maybe by some freak chance Ehren already came down and woke her up for class but she decided to go back to bed. So then if I wake her she might be mad and say...no I'm NOT going to class...Ehren already tried to wake me!!" Anyway I realise that I am a nerd because Chaya never skips class.
Well I am off now to start my day...Gregg is off cleaning his moms office building and making $ and mom is still sleeping...I hope maybe I can twist her arm into taking us out to breakfast cause I could really go for an omlette and some hashbrowns right now!!

Todays activities.

2003-01-25T00:52:28Z

I went to work at 5:45 am and was there until approximately 10:30 am. I NEVER seem to get out of there on time EVER no matter how hard I try!! I was still sick with bronchitis and Liz Kraydich was laughing at me cause I was dancing on the pool deck. Anyway, I came home with every intention of taking a nap before my Head Guard meeting...but I ended up whittling away the hours argueing with my wonderful boyfriend instead!! He really is wonderful though...we worked it all out.
I went to this meeting that Terri said was impaitive that I attend...and it turned out it was all about stupid retarded junk. This and that incidents and accidents. It was all debriefing which I had heard all about already. Luckily for Adrienne they are dealing with her stalker although apparently they seem to feel that she is partially at fault considering she has 500 million people come and visit her EVERY DAY during her shift. Heather said that...when she subbed for Adrienne that there were about three people that came in looking for Adrienne and that she had to get bitchy with them and tell them to go away and that when she is at the pool she is supposed to be WORKING!!
Anyway...after that I came home and talked to Chaya on the phone. Chaya was having problems with her internet connection..but we fixed it...and then she decided to come over and grace me with her presence. Chaya gets the supercoolness of the day award for giving me a password to start a live Journal. Aint it a coincidence that...she got one just as she posted her entry for today?? guess I was in the right place at the right motherfucking time!!!
Anyway...the day is not over yet..Gregg gets home later...and mom is making spaghetti.
Oh and one other funny or cool thing that happened today was I got an instant message on my cell phone that said it was from somebody named Gary that said....So who's fucking you these days? I thought it was rather comical since I have no damn clue who Gary is!!
Oh and one other thing from at work that peaked my interrest/ bothered me. Raphael came into work today dressed in his Oakland University warm ups and told Alexis and myself that he needed to practice. He then preceded to walk down th pooldeck, pretty much hide behind the divers mat thingy and strip off his outfit down to his little speedo where he started stretching. I definately think he did himself a justice by getting rid of the corny board shorts...but he needs to get a better color of speedo than navy blue!! It looked HORRIBLE on him!! He is so dark ...with olive skin tones that he needs to wear dark green!! I realise he is just a body and there are only about 3 cans out of a 6 pack worth of brain cells in his head...but I do admit he has a nice body!! And if he is gonna show off his awesome body...he should at least wear a speedo that is flattering on him so he is nice to look at!!
Anyway...I better go get Chaya her peanut butter cups. She might go into peanut butter cup withdrwal and thanks again baby Chaya!! Mamma loves you :)
