A challenge

So Jon thinks his stalker story is better.... well I have another stalker story... one that I believe I haven't told many people. I too was solicited for sex once..... *shudder*

So I was driving home from Atlanta around noon. Driving north on 85.... exit Beaver Ruin and turn Right.

La dee da dee da. I'm driving home very tired after an exhausting weekend in Atlanta on a cold February morning in 2004. A black guy in this gold pontiac starts honking and making some big commotion as a speed past him (NOTE: I am driving my Oldsmobile... when it still worked). So a good looking girl driving a POS....

We get to a red light and Mr. Pontiac pulls up behind me and honks his horn. I don't turn around and look .... just move my eyes to look in my rear view mirror. He has tinked windows... but he places his hand just a few inches from the window so I can see.... he's motioning his index finger as if he were beckoning me to "come here." I think at first that maybe he thinks I'm some body else. Hmmmmm.... light turns green.... come to the next red light (ggrrrrr....). He does the same thing again. This time I floor it out of the intersection when the light is green.

I hit another red light!!!!!! Damn it! By this time I am less than two miles from my house. I have to get into the left turn lane. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone else will come in behind me. NOPE! He pulls in right behind me. He honks... but this time he places a 100 dollar bill againts the windshield (I know it's a 100 becuase at that time those were the only bills that had the huge faces on them....). At this I just flip out!!!!!! Who the fuck does this in the middle of the fucking day!!!!???? I practically dive into my passenger seat frantically looking for my cell phone... the light turns green. I go.... and he just passes by me. WTF!!?? I didn't get a chance to look at his license plate number. GGrrr.... kicking myself. So I went to the walmart and circled the parking lot.... then went home. Scary much? I went home and cried to Kathryn.


Moral of story: carry a baseball bat in your car..... and make your daughter drive a nice car instead of a POS so she doesn't look like a whore.







I will admit that Jon's is a little worse.

What the hell!?

Ok so today started out like any other day..... woke up early and went to ramsey to run two miles (don't know how i'm gonna manage that 3 mile sat. morning). Then racquetball... which i kicked ass in today :P
History .... normal.
Chem lab- easy as pie (Mmmm... pie).
Bio lab- this is where it gets weird. Okay, so I think I did horrible on the quiz and the experiment sucked so much... the info is all screwy. So as a result we (my group) took a while to get it done.... till about 5 mins after lab was supposed to get out. Anyway, this guy (who I worked with during the last lab... enzymes *shudder*) stuck around for about 5 mins.... this is 10 minutes before we finished. He just hovered around me and my stuff for 5 mins. It was a little freaky. [ Now something you must know about this guy: He talks to himself in voices.... schizo (sp?) almost]. So he finally leaves and Grace and I discuss the "matter." YAY! Lab is finally done. So... it's been ten minutes since this guy has left right? I'm walking out with Dave (the TA). We say bye, he gets in his car and drives away. As I am walking down the stairs, I take a look back to watch him drive off..... and who do you think I see? This guy wearing his gray hooded, zipped up sweater.... with the hood up btw. Now that was just a little scary. He's following me!!!!!!!!! I swear he left like ten minutes before me.

I am Ginnie's paranoia. I've seen one too many Law and Order episodes where the girl has been raped by some sketchy figure. I run and find Grace who is just ten yards ahead of me. "You know that really creepy guy that we worked with on the last lab?" "Yeah.. what about him." "I think he's following me!" "No way!!!!" " Will you PLEASE come with me to snelling and look out for me?... PLEASE!!" "Of course!"

So we get into snelling... get some pizza. And who do you think comes in just two minutes later? Yup.... this guy (if you haven't noticed... I don't remember his name). I am sitting facing a wall... Grace is my eyes.... my only hope. "He looks like he's looking for someone." "Oh shit.... please tell me he's not coming over here. You know that wouldn't be the worse thing in the world. it would be less creepy if he just came up and talked to me... had a decent conversation with me." "You're right.... that would have been better." Boys are such retards.... grow some fucking balls and just talk to a girl... rejection should be the least of your worries. I've been rejected plenty of times!!! Good Grief.

Grace sees a friend just a table or two down (the scary guy sits like three or four table down). She talks to him for like three minutes... then returns to say that creepy guy has left to get food and Matt (the friend she went to talk to) is willing to walk me back to my dorm (isn't that just sweet!!). So I stuff my last half of pizza in my mouth (don't think I've ever eaten that fast before), throw my bookbag over my shoulder, throw the tray on the belt... and dash out of there with Matt and his two friends.

I am Ginnie's sigh of relief. I am relieved... I am safe. I'm not saying that I couldn't have kicked that guy's ass on my own.... but still. I've always had my guy friends to look over me... but they weren't there this time. Sometimes I just feel safer in the hands of someone I just met than others.... it's funny how that works out.

Matt and I talked for a bit.... it was nice. He burned me a CD of Jack Johnson.... I think he's pretty good... and mix between John Mayer and Jimmy Buffet :P We went up to his floor and watched Boondock Saints... such an incredible movie.

anyway... that was my weird night.

This is what I get for being nice to someone who I think is creepy.... they follow and stalk me! This has happened to me before..... I'm not sure why. God likes to play jokes on me or something... I just know it. There is some kind of alternative reason that I am just not seeing... actually I think I do see it.... I just don't want to admit it.

Funny observations and random deep thoughts

Observation:
Weather severely affects mood.

Proof:
People are just more cheerful when it's warm and sunny. People are sad, dreary, and sleepy on cold rainy days. People are sleepy on hot, rainy days (unless you are me... in this case you get in your running clothes and have a grand ol' time!). People are grumpy and depressed in the winter (unless you are me.... who loves winter... skiing weather!!!!).


Observation (props to Emmy):
It doesn't matter what the weather is like, people will still sit outside and smoke (rain or shine, freezing or hot).

Proof:
Just sit outside Russell and you'll understand what I mean.



Thought:Also, I belive more people smoke during the spring and summer than fall and winter.
Reason:
It has been proven that people who smoke have trouble retaining and controlling homeostasis (body temperature for those non-science ppl out there). Not only that, but on all the days that have been warm, I have seen more people outside smoking. I just don't understand. I've tried it..... didn't think much of it...... must be a social thing.

BTW... why do people smoke anyway? YOU ARE PAYING TO KILL YOURSELF!! THEN YOU PAY MEDICAL BILLS TO GET BETTER!!!! Isn't that just slightly redundant?? Save yourself the money.



Thought:
Georgia doesn't have weather.... it's mother nature's PMS.
Proof:
One week.... sunny high of 80
Very next week.... snow high of 25
(Boys, remind you of anything?)



Thought:
There are different kinds of estrogen.

Reason:
Sorority girls vs. Non-Greek girls
Georgettes and Majorettes vs. Flag line
enough said....

Do you ever have the feeling that everything is going pretty good, but then again you also feel like everything is falling apart? I think I've felt this way for the past month!

I have all this work piling on top of everything else... Bio lab reports, Chemistry lab reports, and above all reading for history!! It's the reading for history that is getting to me I think. Could also possibly be the fact that Emmy and I are still looking for an apartment.

Oh... side note: The Reserve is a fucking awesome place and I really really really really really want to live there. Must convince parents...wwahahahaha };} (evil face). I am pretty sure I would be paying for half of it anyway. Hmmm... think I forgot to mention that to parents. Reminder to self: will call later and beg.

Anyway, I feel like I just have so much to do and no time to do it in. The past few nights I've gotten coffee from Jittery Joe's (great place!!) at like 10 and stay up til some ungodly hour of the night just to fall asleep and wake only a few hours later.... then repeat. And sometimes I don't get to run! :( This is very unhealthy.

We are creatures of habit.... a flaw of mankind. I don't think I'll ever get out of this rut until something changes. I know!! We need like a week off school! Will Spring Break ever get here!? I want to go back to work and complain and have fun with my co-workers. I have an undying desire to take care of cats and dogs right now.... not to mention seeing my one true love-the man who has always been there with me through thick and thin (with exception of college).... Smokey (my most favoritest cat :) how I miss him).

Oh Fuck.... I just remember I haven't done my English journal entry yet. Son of a Bitch!!!!!! Meaningless piece of shit class.... I knew I should have taken AP Lit in high school!!!!!

Yeah.... so I didn't exactly get to go apartment hunting. hehe.... I liked staying over at kat and gary's too much. I got to sleep in guest room this time... YAY! and lemme tell ya, it felt glorious to be able to sleep. Seriously!

BTW... don't you love the feeling of having something that is great, but you don't know it. Well, a few weeks ago a friend asked me to go see this stand-up comic with him.... Mitch Hedberg. At the moment, I had absolutely no clue who this guy was. Then Derek was like... OMG!! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET TICKETS! I LOVE THAT GUY!
haha... sorry... come again? Apparently, this guy is pretty damn funny, so during poker night we listened to a few of his CDs. Sorry if I have offended any of you. The only stand-up comics I know are Brian Regan (sp?), the bule collar boys, and Robin Williams. I am more partial to Reegan.

so anyway, that isn't until the weekend along with the 5k human race.

Tonight is going to be a busy night. I have homework, pre-vet club meeting at 7, and a bio study session at 9. I guess I'm not going running or working out :*(


In apartment news.... Here are some places I am looking (most fav first):
1. The Reserve
2. Polo Club
3. Riverbend
4. College Park
5. Aspen

Emmy and I are going to look at The Reserve tomorrow around12.30ish...

Well, if I'm going to get anything accomplished... better start now!

yeah.... soooo....

Lookin back on the week:
-had my advsing appointment. fun. taking three labs. yay. (hehehe, but i get to dissect things!)
-captain auditions: didn't make it... knew i wouldn't but i am not at all satisfied with the results. but i can say that i did my best, even though i feel like i could have done better. but then again i am my worst critic.... other than adam and gary and jon and kat ;) hehe
-today er... yesterday. considering the fact that i slept HORRIBLY, i did surprisingly well in racquetball. btw.... hate english class
-tomorrow er... today. who the hell knows.
-this weekend: apartment hunting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and lots and lots and lots and lots of reading and chemistry. We have to start the self directed labs and i must do research for the next bio lab report.... goodie two shoes!!!! i can't wait. I'm just so excited about doing all this shit. Why can't I just stay on campus. I haven't even talked to my parents about apartment huntin yet. Guess I should do that tomm. One more thing to do!!!!!

sleep....

National Condom Day.... this is sad

So another way to express the fact that it's Valentine's Day:

National Condom Day

Featured in my school newspaper..... "show someone you care by f***ing them" is essentially what they are saying.

I do not disagree that having sex is indeed an expression of love, but you kids out there are just way to hasty to loose your virginity. For example:
Mary wants to let Joe know that she's in love with him and all that who-ha-bull-shit-mumbo-jumbo. So she decides to give him the gift that you can only give once in your lifetime. Next thing you know Joe dumps Mary for Jane because Joe just isn't satisfied being with Mary anymore even though he promised they would never break up.... and blah blah blah blah. Story sound familiar? Whether it be from real life or from the movies/television? The some people say "at least they used a condom!" Seriously people, I agree that they were "responsible" in using a condom but....

My goodness people, we might as well call it National Fucking Day!!! I bet all the condom corporations love this day... I'm surprised they haven't taken even more advantage of the situation.

Ok, now before I sound like some motherly Catholic-Nazi againt sex before marriage....
I do have a dream that I will keep my lily-white purity until I'm married, but I know that it doesn't always work out that way (sadly as it seems). I may end up giving it up around engagement.... which I'm totally cool with too. Point being younguns: Don't have sex until you have a pretty good idea of what love is. Don't let heated make-out sessions get too out of hand. Let you brain and your heart have equal parts in your thinking. Don't let the fact that you been together for so many years be it one, two, four, six.... years be the determining factor in whether you have sex or not. I know a few people who have been together four years without having sex (of any kind!!! be it oral or regular... sex is sex is sex is sex...) and they recently broke up because the guy fell out of love.

Remember: Love starts at friendship.
The joy of intimacy is the reward of commitment (not the other way around as most people have viewed it as)


Make smart decisions: Girls, if a guy wants you to give it up and you have even the slightest doubt in your mind, then don't! You obviously aren't ready for the ramifications and consequences. Boys, if all you are looking for is a fun time in the sack (and I know you are out there... I've met plenty of you to last me a life time!)... well, I'm just not going to go there.

Valentine's Day - National Singles Bitterness/Awareness Day

Well.... over all this weekend was pretty good.

Friday... Poker night at sis's and bro's. I lost 10 dollars. dang it! Adam and his damn 7 card stud grrrrr. I guess the 4 beers and two malibu/cranberry juice mixes did it for me.... but no hangover whatsoever the next day.... amazing.
However, I did have somewhat of an epiphany that night as I was going to bed. I always thought of Valentine's day as over rated (which it is... why do you have to show you love someone just on that day? Why do you have to be especially nice to someone you like on that day? Why not everyday?). I still think that way. But for some reason the lonliness always gets to me. I guess it was the fact that I saw Kat and Gary dancing in the kitchen, Adam texting his fiancee (who is still in Cali).... it just made me miss the feeling of what it's like to be held by someone you have a mutal love. It's those times I feel desperate... I feel depressed (who wouldn't!?). Anyway, long story short, I started crying before I went to bed (I'm starting to tear up just thinking about.... damn you emotions!!!!!!!!) and Kat had to comfort me. The whole story of how she'd felt the same way during v-day weekend and how she still can't believe that she's married. But I should take advantage of this single life, play the field... be happy that I'm not tied down or wasting my time on someone I know that I'm not going to marry or be happy with. The gift of being single.... but it's times like these I wonder if it's really a gift.
I want to say I have a dream of being happily married with one or two kids and opening my own emergency clinic.... but I guess it would be kinda hard without a husband... lol. I'm to freakin young to think about this kind of stuff. But I feel like if I don't start now... there will be no hope and my fear of being alone will be... quite real, exsistent.
I'm turning 20 this year..... in ten years I'll be 30 and hopefully married. Ten years.... ten..... in all honesty that's really not that far away. It's scary.
Again, long story short.... just live my life to the extent of my abilities. If the guys out there don't like me for who I am, then they are fools. Which most guys are.


Saturday. Spent most of the day writing flag work for captin auditions for flag line... I'm excited. Then spent the rest of the night eating chinese food, doing homework and watching lots of Law and Order (all the different ones...hehe.).

Sunday. It was Sunday. Went to church with mom before I headed back here. Before that though I finished writing my flag work. I'm pleased with most of it. yay!!! I can't wait til Wed.

So far, so good... kind of

As the titel suggests this week is going alright so far. It is quite comparable to last week, but just a tad bit not as hectic.... don't know if i can say the same for the weekend though.

So here's the run down of the week... chem test: I got a 92.4!!!! YES!!!
I have no place to live next year. period. Well, I won't know for sure until March, after Spring Break.... stupid housing people.
I'm psyched about captain tryouts. The music is robin hood (although at first I thought it was Superman.... HEY! I was close! At least I knew it was some kind of "super hero" song... so back off! >:P )
And it took about 4 to 5 hours to write up a bio lab report. I could have gotten it done quicker, but well, the computer is a big distraction and I just wasn't motivated. hehe


And this weekend... well.... at least I get the house to myself :)
Pray that my creative juices are flowing this weekend and I can get through everything in a hurry!! Esp with writing the flagwork... omg.

Ok. I better read my lab manuals before class!!

*sigh* of relief

OK! so last week was fun! let's do it again, shall we!? Cuz it's on!!

Reading upon reading, chem test! yikes!! reading and more reading... BIO LAB REPORT!!! double yikes!!!!

yeah.... so that sigh of relief.... definitely short lived!

BTW! Thanks to the gang with helpin me out on everything!
who knew atlanta bars didn't check ID....hehehe... not that I would know!!!

Super bowl party.... I lost 15 dollars.



3 miles today bitches! 26 mins!!!

Girl's Night Out...

Hey everyone!

Well tonight was a great way to end the week. And no... it did NOT involve going downtown and partying all night (that's Saturday night). Instead, Em and I went to go see "The Wedding Date" (initially we were going to see "In Good Company" but Justin (Em's bf) really really really really wanted to take Em to see it). Anyway, the movie was absolutely AWESOME. *warning a bit of a chick flick... but there are many sexual innuendoes/encounterments/tension for the males* It has a few morals in it: 1. Don't drink and have sex... cuz you won't remember the next morning :P. 2. Don't shag your sister's fiancee who happens to be your now fiancee's best friend and best man at the wedding (uuuhh... DUH!!).


ok... i must go... entertaining some of my friends....

*sigh*

It's been a hard day's night
and i've working like a dawg....

So true.... so true.

And I think I'm going crazy after this week.
So today I lost:
1. the screwy part of my belly button ring that holds it in place.... I'm surprised I didn't lose the whole thing.
2. my chemistry lab glasses/goggles
3. my head
4. my sanity
5. all common sense and rationality

I know I won't be able to find the first two... but maybe ya'll can help me with the last three.

I know Jon, Gary, Adam and the rest of the gang will help me gain some of the last three back when I go to Atlanta Saturday night. Little bit o' dancing.... little bit o' drinking? maybe? hopefully? I just need something to relax... and not a good book (i'm SICK of reading...) and not a good nap (no time for that...) and not a good run (I find myself thinking about a lot more than the stuff at hand.... although my 2 mile time is now 16 min 50 sec). (Reminder to the "gang": must discuss a situation I have..... don't let me forget.)

I would talk about one more thing... but I'm afraid of hurting feelings. So I won't.... and don't ask unless I bring it up.

Well.... I need to turn in for the night...

Random Comment: I can't see outside.....
