so i'm not gonna lie, i really feel like shit today. i went back to school after being home for 2 days sick and now i wanna go back home and just sleep. i feel horrible. and really i don't want to do all this homework i missed. i honestly have like a good 3 or 4 hours of homework ahead of me. and i doubt i'll be doing it all tonight. but since i was gone 2 days i have 2 days to make it up so i have the weekend which is good. except that i have to work saturday. but that's fine. i think i'm gonna get my haircut tomorrow but i need to call and make an appointment tonight. ughhhhh. and its been snowing since last night and i'm sick of all the snow too. i really just wanna sleep! erg. at least its almost the weekend though. and then i can sleep again.
your dream was funny, ahha. of course you'd have a dream like that. xD haha.
i wish sander was here to hit that girl for me since it seems he has history in hitting people at mcd's. haha. and i guess kaytee is friends with her again and that really makes me mad. yeah i don't even know what's going on. no one tells me anything anymore. eventually i'm going to be alone and have no friends, or that's the way it seems. i don't know what's been going on lately. i think part of it is because i'm sick. i hate being sick. a lot.
i really hope i get your letter soon. and the stuff i ordered online the other day. i wait for the mailman like every day cuz i want all my stuff to come already! ergg.
comment me back soon. i need to hear from you. xoxoxoxox.
-em.
Yea my holidays were great =] and it is super hard to go back to school, I have tests right after too! Yea I go to school in Chicago but unfortunately it is a catholic school and ughh boring haha
so pretty much the only thing that's making me hate my job is this one manager. and she used to be really good friends with kaytee and now she's like a huge bitch and said all this shit about me to kaytee even though i've only ever been nice to her. and yeah, its really stupid and kaytee's not friends with her anymore now and we both really hate her.
but i'm actually feeling really tired all of the sudden so i'm gonna go sleep. i'll talk to you later. miss you. <3
xoxo,

alain, (:
haha yeah yesterday was a lot of fun with kaytee. her hair is so cute now! i'm so jealous, haha. like i said, i think i'm gonna get my hair cut too this week. probably friday. and i'm gonna get a couple inches cut off too cuz i'm getting bored with my hair again. haha. and i think i'm gonna dye it too and get the pink out. i need like some sorta idea what to do with my hair but i don't know. cuz one color is kinda boring to me. so i'm gonna have to look up ideas online sometime.
but yeah today i stayed home sick from school. i feel terrible. i hate staying home from school though and making up work and everything. but at least i got to sleep a lot and now i'm sitting in my bed watching lost. i'm almost halfway done with the first season now. i love it.
and yeah if you think of something when you meet atl, i'll die. haha. i wish i cud be the one getting to meet them. in Alternative Press this month they won top song and top music video of the year and last year they were band of the year. <3 i was so happy.
well the money saving is coming along. since my haircut will be cheap and i just owe my parents money for my phone, i'll be able to save a lot from this check i'll be getting. i hope you get one of the jobs you applied for. i remember when i started working at mcd's i was so nervous and only one guy talked to me all day and i wanted to quit, but i stuck it out and now i talk to everyone. haha.
alan !! what's up my friend? i miss writing to you on your wall. I haven't done that in forever! so now, i'm back to work after break and things are hectic, i tell ya! you're kinda lucky that you don't have to work. but, i'm good busy though. not so busy that i can't write to you! i'll never be too busy for that! so i've been thinking more about this summer, and i really hope you and sander can come and hang out with me and my friends in august in VEGAS! what are you doing during these cold days? i've been trying to work out. need to lose weight from eating so much during the holidays :-p haha. btw, you need to talk to me more on MSN ;-). we did it once and that was it!! I missed talking to my french bff :-( so don't leave me behind, mister! xD
well, i need to wind down and rest. tomorrow is HUMP day, so happy HUMP DAY to you! tell me all the fun news that has occured to you. i want to know what you've been up to, okay? talk to you soon, alan. take care of yourself and stay warm! we always have summer to look forward to ;-)

awe, thank you for what you said about my make-up and everything. <3 it was really nice. for the first time in almost a week i wore really dark eyeliner today. haha. tomorrow i think i'm gonna wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt and like only maskara. haha. days like that are some of my favorite. haha. i need to buy some more sweatpants now that i think of it too. but i prolly won't cuz i need to save my money! my next paycheck is going to be huge since i worked so much over break. that whole check is going in my bank account for my macbook. ergggggggg. i just want the computer already! i think once i get like a little more then half then i'm gonna ask my parents if i can borrow money or something. cuz i'm sick of waiting and i really need that computer. don't know if they'll lend me that much money though. :/ :( i'll have to wait and ask when i get enough money saved.
so yeah, did you get a job yet? at the hotel? i'm starting to get really sick of my job. everyone is so catty and mean. ugh. i really need a new job. for real.
so yeah, anything else new?

Knowing nothing is Better ... je crois que je suis bien trop curieuse ... tu t'en es rendu compte . Lool Pourquoi perds tu la foi ... I mean, l'amour ca reste beau ... surtout si il est partagé, ca a l'air d'etre ton cas non ? Le plus dur c'est de croire en l'amour ... J'envie ceux qui y arrivent ... F.Beigbeder a dit ( et tu vas reconnaitre la citation ) : " j'ai beau savoir que l'amour est impossible, un jour je serai fier d'y avoir cru ", ca me peine de devoir dire que pour l'instant je n'arrive meme pas a y croire ... alors le vivre ...Breeef il y a une marrée ds les affaire des hommes ^^ D'ailleurs ne lit pas ce bouquin !!!! pas en ce moment ... il est 2h34 je viens de le finir : et je me sens bizare ... J'aime pas l'homme en lui meme, mais son ecriture est assez WOW ... Assez boulversante malgres la vulgarité . L'amour dure 3 ans ... Et il arrive a t'en convaincre ... Conerie supplementaire je l'ai lu en ecoutant Bon Iver, et Iron & Wine : comble du spleen ... alors que je chercherais l'ideaal ... Alain quelqu'un de tres TRES TREEEES important pour moi a dit un jour ' Cause Everylittle thing's gonna be ALL RIGHT ' ... A mediter ... Haha j'ai autre conceil super bateau, mega passe partout, archiiii simple : Ne te prends pas trop la tete ca sert a plus grand chose ... et puis ca vaut pas grd chose, et j'ai jamais eut l'envie de faire psycho : mais j'écoute pas trop mal, alors si t'as besoin n'hesites pas ! Sinon question : tu sais quand tu emmigres ??... j'envisage de venir sur Paris pr faire quelques conccert, notement the tallest man on earth au scopitone en mars et pourquoi pas the last morning soundtrack ... je ne serais pas contre un the last tragedy ( Amy's crusade ) ou autres ... haha tu mdiras ...

alainnnnn. :)
i never got that text you said you sent. :/ its dumb how sometimes i get them and sometimes i don't. grrrr. really stupid.
awe that's really nice that you spent new years eve with your friends. :) at least you weren't alone right?! RIGHT. haha.
ahhhh i can't wait to get my letter! did you mail it today? cuz i know you mencioned a couple times today was THE day. haha. i hope you did. i wanna get it sooooooon!
last night was funny. x) we talked for a really long time. seriously like all night i was listening to Dark Blue too. prolly around 100 times i listened to it. i love it so much. <3 :) i really love the piano part in it and the guy's voice. its so awesome. and now i really want like every Jack's Mannequin song ever recorded. haha. like totally one of my new favorites. and i've been listening to the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack a lot too. that music is soooooo good. i just love it. <3
so yeah today i gota work 4-11. :( its like one of the worst shifts ever. but its 7 hours so at least i get a break. but i don't know what i'm gonna do until then, haha. kaytee let me borrow the 1st season on lost and i hear about how good that show is all the time so maybe i'll start watching that. have you ever seen it? i hope its as good as everyone says it is.
ugh i think i'm kinda sick too. i woke up with a sore throat. :( and since when i'm at work i'm always in drive-thru, i'm always by the cold. so that's the main cause of it. i don't wanna get any more sick because then i'll probably get realllllllllly sick. and i don't want that to happen.
so the past couple days i haven't been wearing eyeliner. isn't that wierd?! since i always do my make-up so dark. but yeah i've just been doing my maskara really dark and the other day i did silver eyeliner on the top. haha. it was pretty cool, no lie.
so yeah, i'm like really tired and i've only gotten like 6 hours of sleep which isn't very good concidering that i barely got any the night before. so i think i'm gonna go back to sleep for a while. haha.
talk to you later. miss you. xoxo,
-em.
