If You Ain't First, Your Last

Just plain awesomeness

Things May Be Starting To Go In The Right Direction

So I have a job interview on Tuesday at 3 and I am really nervous but I am excited at the same time. It is for the salad dressing company Marzetti's and it is a human resources generalist postion and it makes really good money. I also have a hope of getting a job as a human resources generalist at COTA and that one makes a lot of money but I don't know if they will hire me because my dad works there but it is a government agency and that would be awesome to work for because then I could retire in 30 years with lots o' money...

Either one I know will be fine, it will help me get the experience that I need and if neither of them pan out then I will try to find something else. Its a stressful crazy thing but I think that I am starting to get ready for the working world...being by myself for the past few weeks in this house has given me plenty of time to think about what is going on in my life and what I need to change and really made me evaluate myself...there have been a lot of tears but that's okay because I think that when you really sit down and figure out who you are it can be kinda shocking...

If I get the job at Cota I will probably be able to move out by the end of the summer which is really what I am shooting for...if I get the other job then I will probably be moving out of my parents house within the year...i just have to remember there are many bills to pay but my parents are starting to make me pay rent here soon and I am okay with that because if I can budget everything around my salary and rent and bills and everything else then I will be fine on my own so I think of it as a good thing even though they are asking a lot but so do other places....i wish i had a mommy and daddy that I could live off of and not have to worry about anything...actually no i dont wish that I am happy that I have my mom and dad because they have made me responsible and now I know my limit and I will be damned if I ask them for a cent...its my life and they don't owe me anything...they have done too much for me as it is...

House sitting is almost over and I am really excited about that...even though my parents drive me insane I miss being at my house and with my dog...so come sunday I am outta here...hopefully they pay me good...well I am going to go and read some more of Sense & Sensibility...I can't seem to put it down...

Bored

Ok so I am at the other house and I am avoiding going home because my parents want to rearrange everything in the downstairs family room and I am protesting (actually I am just being lazy) but I will be going back soon because if not I don't want to incur the wrath of Kendy....put my resume into a couple places so we will see how that will turn out hopefully I will get an interview or something out of it so everyone will get off my butt....

So my brother is acting like a dick again...he didn't go to my mom's side of the family Christmas last night because he had to work....like always...but before he said that as soon as he got off work he was going to go down to hocking hills with his friends which hurt my mom's feelings but she did not say anything to him because it will always fall on deaf ears with him...so then she finds out today that he did not go down there and got off work at 8 when the family thing started at 7 and did not even bother seeing if we had made it home or if he should stop by or anything and believe me he incurred the wrath...

Now he is saying that he probably wont sit with us at the CBJ game tomorrow night even though we have kick ass seats and he promised mom two months ago that he would go and now he says that he might but his friends may have things planned and he is going to go ahead and go with them....so not only did he incur the wrath of mom but he got an earful from me...I mean he is 28 he needs to grow up and I honestly do not understand how we were raised by the same parents and turned out so different...i wouldnt have cared too much about the whole thing but he really hurt moms feelings and she has been looking forward to this night and then i am just sick of it it is always i cant i have to work or i am too tired or blah blah blah...it growls old after awhile and he puts the Rorolo family before his own and that is bullshit...

Anyways I got that Hinder cd and I love it...oh these people that I am house sitting for have a shared driveway and the people next door are such asshoies and have had tons of people over and are taking over this side of the driveway and it is starting to piss me off...they could have at least warned me or something...oh and then I was napping yesterday and then all of a sudden I heard people walking on the roof and it scared the piss outta me something awful and so I had to call those people and they told me they were supposed to be there but they forgot to let me know....it was quite the experience because they have skylights on everything and no curtains on the back of their house so I had to hide in the closet...it was interesting...

Anyways I hear the animals moving about so it is time for them to get their night time food...

Graduated

So I am finally updating as a college graduate. Yep exciting except for the fact that I have spent the past few days stressed as all get out because my father will not get off my ass about getting a job. It is had to do too much searching because I am housesitting...where I am now...and this dog and cat have to seriously have constant attention...the only time i get a break is when they are sleeping like now...but i am not complaining it is nice to be out of my house away from my parents....it is not so much my mother as it is my father...i know he doesn't want grass to grow and he wants me to get a job as soon as possible but he has to understand that this is a scary thing in my life...this is a scary phase...

Sometimes I honestly had the ridiculous idea that I would never have to get a job or I would be ready too when I graduated but I am not ready...he has always been working and I have had summer jobs but I have not known anything but school all my life and my parents and even my brother who is starting to give me shit have always worked and not gone to school so they don't have this fear and they do not understand it. I dont know this is all rambling but it makes me feel a little bit better...I just hope I get something I think I am going to apply at Nationwide insurance and I hope I get a job there because then I would be right across from the arena everyday and that would be kick ass....all I want is something that will provide me with benefits and something that will pay the bills...I hope I can move out by the summer but it may be later...but the sooner the better....

Christmas was pretty good....we had the kids this weekend but since i was housesitting I didnt have to worry about them bothering the hell outta me...Jason stopped by on Christmas Eve and I was really excited and he got me some kick ass gifts...he got me a silver bracelet from Avon that supports breast cancer, a winnie the pooh watch that is really cute and winnie the pooh slippers that are super comfortable and they can be worn outside which is awesome...speaking of awesome the weather down here has been awesome...

Ok so these people do not have cable but they have every other invention and they have some pretty kick ass things...i need to stop saying kick ass so much...anyways Santa brought me the 3rd season of Nip/Tuck and the second season of House and a radio that has a cd player/casette player/am/fm radio and a turntable to play my moms old records which I am super excited about but when I opened it it was broke so we have to exchange it...my brother got me the first seasons of Nip/Tuck and House and I already have those which is pretty funny so he is supposed to bring me to Target this weekend and exchange them for something else...so overall it was a good Christmas...

Oh man I just don't know what I am going to do.......

Sorry Not a Celebrity Blog

Sorry this isn't a celebrity blog but don't worry those will come back. So here i am at 545 in the morning because I was so exhausted that i thought that i would sleep the entire night but i didn't. no sirree i woke up at about 445 and felt like i was about to die of thirst and then i haven't been able to fall back asleep even though my eyes are so tired....anyways i think it is just the stress that is getting to me...

Thanksgiving was good. the weekend before katie and i went home and i got to see jason who i haven't seen in a really long time and boy did i miss him....he looks good and i saw his brother and he looks good and jason has met someone and has gotten his life back on track and i am really proud of him for that...now I talk to him a couple times a week and it is nice because i have missed his laugh and i have missed his loveable butt...

Last week i didn't get a break...i mean it was paper after paper and editing and writing and studying and blah blah blah...this weekend i really should have done something more but it was so nice to just relax and hang out with katie because it will be a long time before that will happen again after the 16th....then this week it has already been one thing after another with papers and finals and exams and presentations and so on and so forth...i am telling you now that i will be doing nothing on thursday night...friday my suitemates, katie and i are going to go out to dinner and go see the holiday so i am really excited about that and then saturday we are planning on playing games and watching movies and that is exciting too...then sunday it is back to the grindstone...i do plan on doing stuff in between though i am not going to be a total waste....ok maybe i am....senioritis....

That brings me to graduation...i have mixed feelings about graduation...my first feeling is excitement because i never have to worry about school again and my grades and my professors and so on...the second is fear because i am scared about finding and getting a real job and starting to take complete responsibility for  myself because i do have amazing parents and luckily they have been able to help me through and have always been there for me...i am also excited to take care of myself fully though because that is part of adult life...then there is the sadness...i am sad to leave my suitemates...i will miss them because they are good girls and i know that they will be successful in life because they are smart and caring...

Then there is the huge sadness of leaving Katie...thinking about it makes me cry because she is my sister and my rock and strength....i have never been so lucky to be able to have this wonderful ray of sunshine brought into my life...sometimes i sit and think about what i have done to be able to deserve her? She is the most intelligent, wonderful, strong and prettiest girl I know...she has strength that i can only dream of having...it will be so hard leaving her and not being able to tell her something that has happened through the wall...i know that she will be moving and we will be together all the time but that long time in between is going to be really tough because my family and her are all i've got...i know sometimes that i complain about how i don't have a boyfriend and why is god punishing me and blah blah blah but i realize that having a boyfriend is not a punishment because god gave me a best friend like katie who is always there for me no matter what and god gave me one of the best gifts he could give....anyways she know how much she means to me and words on here could not express it enough...

Should probably get back to bed...kind cheesy but Carole King says it best...

When you're down and troubled and you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, you've got a friend

If the sky above you, grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherver I am
I'll come running, to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh but don't you let them

Celebrity Gossip 11-20-06

Well it actually happened...Tom and Katie got married...I wonder how long their contract that I am sure Katie had to sign in blood said they would have to married for...did you see the photo? Tom looks unhappy for once...I mean he married the girl that had his donald trump toupee baby and jumped on couches for her and dragged her around but now that the day has come he looks unhappy? Maybe he was just so said because Katie had to stoop to his level to take the picture so they could be face to face...

According to IMDB.com ..."Actress Ellen Barkin made her feelings for ex-husband Ron Perelman clear last week when she drenched the billionaire with a glass of chilled water in a restaurant."...""It is pitiful that Ms. Barkin has fabricated a reason to justify an unprovoked assault on him.""...ok it was ice water how is that assault? I mean if she would have thrown it on him and then punched him in the nuts and laughed at him crazily then maybe that would be assault but making him look like he peed his pants? no not assault...

"David Blaine will spend two days in a spinning gyroscope before attempting to escape from shackles in his latest public stunt."...ok what the hell is wrong with this guy? he tries to not eat for days...why? he is insane then he is buried alive because that has to be an exhilarating experience...then he is in water for days because he loves that feeling of drowning I gues and now he is going to go into a spinning gyroscope??? what???? who does that and more importantly who WANTS to do that???....Maybe he will do a stunt where he disappears off the face of the earth.....forever....

Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom are "dating"...Orlando you had Kate Bosworth why? By the way you just are not that hot I am sorry when you were an elf yes and I will give you Will Turner but when you are not in a movie you are kinda creepy...Kirsten spend some of that money you have and get your teeth fixed...you had Jake Gyllenhaal once again why????

Celebrity Gossip 11-17-06

Big wedding is tomorrow...unless Katie breaks away from the evil force that is Tom Cruise...Brooke Shields has flown to Italy for the wedding...ok so Oprah isn't invited and he jumped all over her couch and more than likely ruined the upholstrey but Brooke Shields is invited who got into a huge fight with Tom Cruise over his brainwashed opinions of antidepressants...I bet you she is going there to try to free Katie...

According to IMDB.com, "Kevin Federline filed for sole custody of his two young children with pop star Britney Spears because he feels she is not fit to take care of them on her own."....ummm what makes you capable...don't get me wrong I am not a Britney fan but for goodness sakes you have lived off your wife's money and used her celebrity status to become famous and you think you are capable? please those kids will be living in a Louisiana trailer park with your future pregnant girlfriend if you get custody...

"Pop star and actress Hilary Duff is being hailed a heroine by Hurricane Katrina charities after buying 200,000 meals for two refugee shelters in Houston, Texas."...well at least she is doing something good and not buying new teeth or boobs or whatever is in fashion this week...

"Whitney Houston's New Jersey home reportedly faces being seized and sold, because she owes more than $1 million in mortgage payments and unpaid taxes."....Whitney what has happened to you? honestly I commend you for leaving Bobby but this is what happens when you smoke too much crack or whatever you were getting receipts from drug dealers for because we all know "Crack is Whack"...good advice for the children Whitney...

Well thats all the celebrity gossip for today folks! Go Bucks!

Celebrity Gossip 11-16-06

HUGE NEWS FIRST!!! According to IMDB.com, "Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting busy in Italy as they prepare for their nuptials on Saturday, with a series of official visits. The couple spent Tuesday night dining with the Odescalchi family and friends at the Palazzo Odescalchi castle, where they'll wed at the weekend. Yesterday, the Hollywood couple visited City Hall in Rome, Italy, presumably putting the finishing touches to the legal aspects of their wedding."......yep official...if I was there and going to these places it would be like "Ashley goes to a big ol' castle" but since it is psycho tom and barely there Katie it is an "official" visit...what does that even mean....

The girl from Terminator 3 (you should look her up because I know only like 10 people went to see that...sadly I was one of them) and the girl from Lost Michelle Rodriguez are supposedly in a lesbian relationship....yeah that's a big shocker that Rodriguez is gay....she is a butch as they come people....anyways it isn't "official" if they are dating or not but Loken has dropped some hints....who cares??? moving on...

Naomi Campbell is back in court for some assault charges...big surprise there...she is seriously psycho...anyone who is offered a job as her assistant or anyone who might come as close as 10 feet from her should run screaming the other way because she will attack you sooner or later...Usher what were you thinking????

"Michael Jackson returned to the stage at a star-studded World Music Awards in London last night, but only managed to sing a few lines of his hit "We Are The World."".....probably his lung lift failed and he needed to leave the stage so he could cough it up....people were disappointed about this too...umm why wouldn't you be he sang "we are the world" isn't that from like 1994??? if it was billie jean maybe but we are the world...either that or he had to leave the stage because the choir of children came on to sing backup and he got too excited...

"Spears' Family Held Divorce Intervention"....ummm why didn't thay hold a marriage or dating intervention...now she's got two kids to deal with and it is just scary that he is still procreating and probably will continue with his next white trash honky tonk badunkadunk girlfriend...

Emmitt Smith wins dancing with the stars....thats ok AC Slater I am sure you will be offered another role sometime in the future...they may do a Saved By The Bell Reunion Movie...."Saved By The Bell: The Old Fart Years"...

"IS PARIS CHASING LOHAN'S EX?"...Probably if it has a penis she will chase it down and dominate....

That's all for today folks! Join in tomorrow for some more Celebrity Gossip if you dare....40 min Office on tonight be sure to watch...GO BUCKS!

What to Post?

Ok so I am not sure what I should post about so this may just be random thoughts floating around in my head and could be anything. Watched House tonight and it was awesome as always...seriously that guy who plays the cop needs to find a hobby...maybe he should take up knitting or something...then watched nip/tuck and it was hilarious because they were all old and Dr. Troy was hilarious and I feel bad for Dr. McNamara....I mean his wife has an affair with a little person...his daughter is going to be messed up when she grows up and his oldest son could be a Michael Jackson double...so I feel for the guy...next week should be good can't wait...

Thursday on the Office Jim and Pam are reunited!!! Who's excited??? I know you are you don't have to express it to me I know how you feel...this is going to be good in Scranton...so let's see...went home this weekend...thursday I hung out with my Aunt Tonya and my family and we watched the Office and Supernatural and some more of the Office...good times...found out that the house that my great-grandmother offered me is going to go to my  brother and I am going to take over his place which for some reason my family thought that I would be so pissed off over but I could care less and I am quite excited...

Graduation is in a month...where did these four years go? I mean it seems like yesterday I was crying myself to sleep (wow I know pathetic) and now I am graduating and having to get a real job and pay bills and so on and so forth...it's scary and unbelieveable....When I get home I am changing myself and I am not just saying that like I have before but I am because it needs to be done and I am sick of avoiding a damn mirror...I will change myself for the better...I have too...

Friday we went and got the kids and on Saturday we took them shopping and then we went to my grandmother's for dinner that was nasty...my aunt was there and I wouldn't speak to her...my mom has kinda forgiven her because she called and apologized to my mom about everything she did but I cannot forgive her...she threatened my mom and dad and my brother and she denies it but if she didn't she wasn't stopping anybody else from doing it...if I were to forgive her that would be the biggest slap in my mom and dad's face and I would rather just never see her again...I mean I feel for my grandfather...he doesn't want anything to do with them and my grandmother has them around all the time...my dad hasn't forgiven her and I know he won't and neither will my brother...just not excited for the holidays this year...i mean my mom is fighting with her step-mom and my aunt will be there on my dad's side so there is tension on both sides and it sucks...if my grandmother expects me to treat her well she has another thing coming....grrr....it gets me so mad even thinking about it....

Sunday went to Target with my brother....let me rephrase...my brother took me to target to use my discount...but it was fun...I got to spend a lot of time with my brother this weekend and that was nice...he can be an asshole but I love him...he is my brother and he has always been so good to me...my mom invited the whole family up for my graduation so that's gonna be weird if anymore come...I mean I love my family and I don't mind my grandparents on my dad's side and my aunt tonya and my brother being there but everyone else would just feel wrong because they haven't been there for most of the things that have happened in my life so why should they start now...I feel bad that my great-grandmother cannot come and she told my dad how disappointed she was because of it and that sucks...

Came back to school monday and skipped my classes and got a 73 on my investments exam and for some reason I really could care less...lots of projects coming up that  I really need to get a start on...papers...presentations...blah blah blah...going home again this weekend and Katie is going to come with me which is exciting...she gets to finally meet Jason and I get to finally see Jason...I am nervous because I haven't seen him in so long but I am so excited!!! Saturday is the day the OSU is going to kick Michigan's ass and go to the national championship game which is really exciting....

Couples in Hollywood are breaking up left and right and come on who was honestly shocked about Britney and Kevin??? I mean I am shocked that it lasted this damn long...seriously...Ryan and Reese is quite sad though...This is a super long post....Ok and seriously who cares about Crazy Tom and Brain-washed Katie's wedding...I mean I know it is this weekend but all the celebrity reports today talked about how he arrived in Rome today...who cares??? I mean I don't see the paper writing a huge headline "Ashley arrives to class for the second time this week!!!" in the papers even though it probably should it is ridiculous...just like my spelling because I cannot spell....
