the summer of nothing

I am having the most boring summer ive ever had! I cannot wait to move to california...3 weeks away! I have done nothing this summer...at least i got to go home for a weekend, during which i lost my job because my boss is rude. But i am focused on getting my stuff ready to move. although thats not fun at all because i have also been living alone in a big house for a month and its a mess and my room is a disaster so i dont know where to start when it comes to getting rid of stuff...the air also went out in my car so i need $600 to fix that....the list goes on and on. once I get out of az I should start feeling a little better though! trying to visit cali this next weekend so i can look at apartments for me and becca. we have 4 top choices so i hope that one of them works out. crossing my fingers!!!

My workout attempts

So, the rumors are true, not that there were any rumors, but I FINALLY joined a gym. I am so excited about it because I have been wanting to get back in shape for 4 years now. After I was cut from the soccer team and then asked to come back because soccer was a "no cut" spot and then didn't play all season because the coach wanted to cut me...well I was a senior in high school and that was a little sad to say the least. Then they hired a freshman's mom to coach varsity basketball (MY sport) and so in protest of a freshman dominant (more like ALL freshman) season I walked out of tryouts and didn't play. So I haven't really done any sort of exercise since I was a junior in high school...I think its abut time (senior year in college).

I joined Pure Fitness and I get to have a trainer and everything. My body fat % is...a little high...OK way higher than it should be. Well I've been proud of myself, I even got a pair of running shoes and have been running (more like walking and choking on my own breath) outside. But the way I see it, I leave here in August (fingers crossed) and I have until then to get in shape and build some muscle.

I have also been eating healthy and having smaller meals more often so I keep my metabolism up. Well after the past couple weeks of hell I have gone through I have really started to feel good. Now all I have to do is keep it up. Working out has helped me clear my head and focus on the important things, positive things, and myself.

Frustration

So this summer me and my bf of 5 1/2 years broke up. we were both fine with it and we were talking to each other and everything. it was really nice because i thought it was going to be crazy and really sad. well obviously i spoke too soon. i know that i cant be that jealous ex-girlfriend who keeps trying to push her way into her ex's life . . . but a relationship that lasted for 5 + years that ends doesnt just end like that. thats the problem with us. we decided to be friends and it was working out until he started to see this 17 year old girl (who by the way HAS a boyfriend) from work. he feels like he has to tell me everything, which is usually fine...but i already dont like the idea then i find out the LITTLE BABY girl is in a relationship and on top of that works under ryan at work which means he could get fired if anyone finds out. this was killing me because he could be throwing away everything he knows...all he knows is costco.

but besides that little issue i have, over all he has just changed a lot and has been lashing out at me and trying to hurt me. all i can think is that he is trying to protect himself and hurting me is helping him but that really sucks for me to say the least. and i was trying so hard not to say anything to him but one night i could not keep my mouth shut. after days of him wanting to talk and then ignoring me and making up reasons like "i lost my phone" or "i never got the text or missed call" (i would only call when he told me too...but then he wouldnt answer) etc....well i went off on him. i dont deserve this and so i let him know that. if he wants to talk to me and "be my friend" or whatever, he has to make an effort with me. none of my other friends treat me like he does so i just said if he cant treat me nice then we just cant be friends.

anyway to make myself feel better i made 3 CDs/playlists on my itunes. since i feel like my head is going to explode i needed something to straighten out all of my thoughts. now ryan asked me to send him the songs. he only knows that i made a playlist because he asked me if i was going to make one or if i already did (because i ALWAYS do). i think he wants to know what i put on it because he wants to know how i really feel, but honestly its such a mix of songs it confuses me...but thats why its in a specific order. but they are mostly for me not for him, so i might send it to him, but i might keep it to myself.

The beginging . . . again

Some of you may be up-to-date with the "issues" I have been dealing with lately, if you have no clue what I am talking about, well you will soon enough.

I am finally in my senior year at ASU (I know, time flies) and my amazing roommate/big sis/twin Asia has graduated and moved home to canyon in the boonies, CA. I unfortunately had to search for a new roomie. Easily enough Lauren, a friend of Asia's and mine, who actually made frequent appearances at our random dance parties, was also looking for a place to live. Everything fit together perfectly, too perfectly. I went to Europe for 6 weeks then finished my summer in Seattle, leaving the apartment and my baby (kitty) Sambuca in the care of Asia and Lauren. My summer was amazing, couldnt have been better...then I had to head back to Tempe, AZ.

Lauren picked me up at the airport on August 17th. I came back to a clean apartment and a healthy (living) Sambuca. Everything seemed great...that was the last time I saw Lauren (literally, I havent seen her since August 17th...that was over a month ago). So much for everything working out. I was forced to give my apartment complex 60 days notice, and move out because Lauren let me know that she will no longer be living with me. I eventually found a house to move into. One of the girls from my trip to Europe offered me a room and I jumped on the opportunity.

WEEKS have gone by and I am still living alone in my now almost empty apartment. I will be moving into my new place in about 8 days. I have a couple of boys lined up with trucks to help me move all of my stuff out (down the 3 flights of stairs) and into the new room (no stairs there, thank god).

There are a few things that I have discovered while living alone. They are as follows:

1. I dont like cooking for only myself, its not as fun when you dont have someone to tell you how good your food tastes.

2. When you watch the food network so often that you see reruns of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, Iron Chef America, Unwrapped, and Ace of Cakes multiple times in a week (multiple being more than 4 times each) your watching too much food network (if that even exists).

3. Man vs. Food is the scariest show ever and that guy is gonna have a heart attack!

4. I am never living alone again.

I only give 4 points to any list because duh 4 is the best number ever.
So Now I am preparing to move out. I have 2 jobs (Wedding DJ for SKM, and Forever 21) and 2 families that I am babysitting a lot for. Hopefully all of this stress will end when I get out of this sad apartment. And since the couple I am moving in with have 2 super cute dogs, Sambuca is really gonna have to adjust. She is afraid of people and all other animals, she will have to make friends.

I am really trying to make the best of this situation that I have been thrown into. Thats basically the quick over view of my living situation so far. I dont want to go into details because you would literally b e reading for 4 hours. Thats all for now, maybe I will complain about something else later!
