a girl’s gotta do..
The first thing I did when you said goodbye
Was sit myself down and have a real good cry
The next thing I did was put my red dress on
And go downtown dancing ’till the break of dawn
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
And now I gotta get to gettin’ over you
Too bad I gotta do it, with someone new
But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
Fancy meeting you at our stomping ground
Sorry if you caught me painting the town
Guess I shoulda stayed home with your memory
Baby don’t take it personally
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
And now I gotta get to gettin’ over you
Too bad I gotta do it, with someone new
But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
Give me a call some time real soon
And remind me to remember to forget about you, oh yeah!
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
And now I gotta get to gettin’ over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
A girl’s gotta do it
Yeah, a girl’s gotta do it
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
good song.. & so true.
mood swings & hot flashes at the age of 18.
idk whats wrong with me lately.. i mean, i know a possibility, but i dont really know whats wrong w/ me lately.
right now, i have the most annoying headache ever, just all along the front of my head. & i’m getting hot flashes. i’ll be perfectly comfortable & then all of a sudden, i just want to throw the covers off of me. i dont get it, but its becoming pretty annoying.
my moods change like you wouldn’t believe. i can be perfectly happy 1 minute, not care about anything really; then the next i’m sitting here upset & thinking about things. i’m ALWAYS tired.. ughh. >: [
i got a good 8 hours of sleep last night, took about a 2 hour nap & its almost 11 at night & i feel extremely tired, but i know if i go downstairs, i won’t be able to sleep. or it’ll at least take me a good 1/2 hour or so.
what’s wrong w/ me? i guess i’ll find out the possibility tomorrow, but if thats a no go; then seriously.. idk whats going on.
ahh.
thinking about thinking.
ever think you think too much?
..like i think, i think too much about the whole bryan thing. the whole darrell ordeal. how many people honestly think that they think TOO much? it just seems weird..
also, i can’t help but be anxious for friday to see what i find out. if its a no go, then i’m going to feel kind of dumb, i think. just because i’m so into it. idk how to explain it.
..also, i’m always tired. i wish school was cancelled tomorrow (even tho theres no reason for it to be) but all i want to do is sleep. i fell asleep around 12:30 am on tuesday morning, woke up around 10:30 because mom texted me, then fell back asleep til 11:30. it wasnt even 1 o’clock yet & i was already yawning. now its about 12:15 am on wednesday morning & i’m SO tired, but i’m doing so much thinking that i dont think i’d be able to sleep. even tho i’m extremely tired. but yet i know i should be going to bed because i’m going to have to get up at 9:30 to get ready & head to school.
..tomorrow night, i plan on just sitting at home w/ the fam. even tho that use to & still does seem kind of boring.. not because i’m with family but because we’ll just be sitting here watching tv.. but it’ll be so relaxing. but its also 1 of those deals, that if darrell just happened to call me or something, i’d be hyped up in a minute.. ready to do whatever, no matter how tired i am. seems weird, really..
i think.. i just can’t wait til this wkend; no school, no work. ahh, it’ll be nice. i even get PAID on friday! i also have a meeting tho.. boo.
my week the rest of the week:
wednesday- sleep, school 11-3, come home.
thursday- sleep, work 2-10
friday- sleep, appointment at 11:20, meeting at 1:30, PAY DAY.
..ohh i’m thinking too much, i should probably head to bed tho. goodnight.
the new job.
i pretty much completely love my new job. i’m working as an na, i hoped to be a cna sooner then what its happening, but thats going to happen.
they had me training for 5 days, today was my 1st day by myself. i’ll admit, i was a little overwhelmed with everything right at first. i was scared to answer call lights by myself, because what if they wanted something & i felt i couldnt help them without somebody else being there too? but i did pretty good i think.
i felt so bad tho.. this one lady had her call light on & when i walked in, i said “yes (her name), what can i get for you?” & she goes “omg, did you not see my call light on?” i said, “yeah, thats why i’m here now” she goes, “come on, its been on for a long time now, why are you just now coming in here?”. i tried to calmly say, “we’re busy, i was busy helping somebody else” & she goes “i dont care! my light has been on for an extremely long time!!” & i was like “honestly.. come on, we were busy.” haha. i got so impatient but then i felt bad, because all she wanted me to do was read her a letter her daughter had written her.
it was sad.. & i felt so bad.
i’m never going to put my parents in a nursing home, idc how annoying (sorry mom) or how much work they seem to be. i’m not doing it, i couldn’t. you know how many people put their parents in nursing homes just so they can get on with their lives & forget about them completely? thats so freaking horrible. the other day.. the nurse made me tell this lady that she couldn’t call her daughter because of the ice on the phone lines. that somehow, our phones wouldnt let us call out because of the ice. HONESTLY.. how horrible. but the nurses said that because this lady’s daughter had called work & pretty much reemed 1 of the nurse’s because they let this 1 lady call her too much. idk how somebody could honestly do that to 1 of their parents.
..ughh. idk, i love knowing that i’m helping somebody tho; its great.
thoughts going thru my head.
this might be long.. just to warn you.
so, i can’t help but wonder how bryan could have lied to me & done all these hurtful things to me. like seriously.. there’s so many things that bryan wouldn’t have done if he wouldn’t have been with me. to put it nicely, he would have lived a sheltered life. seriously.. he NEVER would have gone very far away from home, let a lone to florida.. how many times? he went with us like 3 times, plus the, at least, 3 times he went with us to tennessee. he probably wouldnt have made it thru high school, he wouldn’t have the car he has now; he UGH. he just disgusts me in every way freaking imaginable. HOW and WHY would you do something like this to somebody? i mean, i get it, people change; their feelings change. but the relationship i had with him & how it went downhill so fast, makes me not want to trust anybody else ever again. how do i know that every guy i’m with isn’t going to royally screw me over?
..thats a thing with darrell. a lot of people saw it as him “using me” because i drove us everywhere. but it was US i was driving every where. there was only 2 times when i actually got upset over driving us somewhere. TWO times out of the millions of times i drove us places. ..1 time was because i only saw him for like an hour before he was going to go see his daughter, so i left. that time i was mad because i drove up to coralville for like an hour when i thought we were going to spend most of the day together. the other time was when i went & picked him up, drove us to wilton, hung out there for a few hours, then drove him back to coralville just to come home. just to go back up to IC (with friends later) & ended up staying the night w/ him anyway. those were the only two times. crystal opened up her mouth & said something to him about me being his taxi. THAT was the start as to why me & darrell don’t talk as much. because crystal said something when 1. it wasnt her place, its none of her business & 2. she made darrell think that i had been complaining to her about it or something when i never said a word. thats the starting point as to why we barely talk any more. its messed up too because its something crystal said, it was none of her business!!!! ahh.
..another thing with bryan. i’m super close to his family still. his mom & i still talk; his grandparents ADORE me still. his mom still considers me her daughter. she sent me a valentine’s day card today in the mail & it said “happy vday DAUGHTER”; it made me want to cry. seriously.. his grandparents had gotten me an xmas gift too & his gramma hugged me & said, “you’re welcome to come up whenever you want” you know badly i wanted to just break down & cry, right then & there? i started getting teary-eyed & had to walk away. i couldnt do it.
i just wish that i could take everything i’m feeling & just tell it to the people. like, with bryan, i want to just message him & be like, “whats the deal? i dont get how you could have treated me so completely shitty when i’ve done so much for you”. & as with darrell, i really want to just up & text him & be like, “does it not bother you that we barely talk any more?” because these types of things are definitely bothering me. but its almost like its not bothering the guy because they’re not doing anything to fix it.
..ughh, guys are so dumb.
don’t let me down.
although this is a beatle’s song.. coming from “across the universe”, i thought it was a good subject line.
darrell & i stopped hanging out a little over a week ago. he then called me friday to see if i knew where his necklace was, that i had been wearing the previous week because crystal & i took him to work on a saturday morning & he gave me his necklace & told me to wear it. so i did, & then wednesday night when i stayed with him, i took the necklace off before i fell asleep. the next day i gave it back to him & to make a long story short.. he had forgotten where he put it. so, i told him where he had put it & we got off the phone.
while i was on the phone with darrell, matt was on the phone with crystal & matt told crystal to tell me to tell darrell that matt wanted to drink w/ him.. so i told him & to make another long story short.. darrell was going to come into town, but decided he’d be too rushed so he decided against it..
last night i worked 2-10 & darrell called me around 9:45 & i was taking out the trash when i felt my phone vibrate. i would have picked up if i would have felt it vibrating before then, but i caught it right when it switched to “1 missed call”, so it must have been ringing for awhile before that. i didnt call him right when i got off work because i had stuff to do, it was freezing cold out & i was running around quite a bit so i dont think i would have been able to keep a convo going if i tried.
i ended up texting him around 11 to see what he had wanted, but he didnt text back. i wonder what he wanted but i dont want to make a big deal about him calling me either. i mean its nice to know he called me, because something he wanted or something made him think of me, which led him to calling me.
but i also kind of figured that if it was important, he would try to get ahold of me again.
idk, idk what to think with him. we’re “just friends” but it’d be cool if we hung out every now & then too. who knows, i guess i’ll just have to wait & see.
across the universe.
..me & dad are sitting here watching “across the universe” & tho i think i’d have to watch the movie again to completely catch the entire movie line.. i really like all the beatles songs. it surprises me seeing just how many songs from the beatles i actually know.
ever think you know somebody?
so friday night.. matt, crystal & i went over to jerry’s (bryan’s brother) house, where we played poker. right at first, bryan didnt really talk to me & i loved the fact that i could have really cared less. it was like he was nothing to me, like i was blind to the fact that he was even there.
we began to play poker & he sort of started talking to me in the group, pretty much just contributing to the conversation. that was the first time i actually looked him in the eyes. those same, big, green eyes with the beautiful long eye lashes. BUT that was when i noticed he was chewing. thats disgusting! honestly.. lets just hope for mouth cancer here. ughh.
this just goes to show that everybody changes. a person that i knew & dated for over 4 1/2 years is completely different than what he use to be. he chews, he’s starting to gain weight & he drinks beer. bryan’s dad chews & i remember bryan always talking about how gross it was & how his teeth were rotting & he couldn’t believe he’d want to do something so disgusting. just to find out tho, that bryan has been chewing for over a year.. so that means he hid that too from me, while we were dating.
i dont understand how somebody could be so heartless. my family did so much for him, he told me how much he loved me & how we’d be together all throughout college & nothing would change between us. he promised. & to find out hes been chewing for so long, i dont even really see how its possible that he could have chewed while we were dating, we were always together, he lived with me, he couldnt have hid it in his car.. because we often took his car to go places & at the time, we were always comfortable enough going thru eachother’s stuff knowing the other wouldnt be mad. unless him saying he’s been chewing for over a year is a lie too. because well think about it, that wouldnt surprise me much.
like mom says, “the apple doesnt always fall far from the tree”. i just hope he doesnt get some girl pregnant & then not want anything to do w/ the kid after a couple years like his dad did.
its like the whole situation with bryan really bothers me, to the point where i’d like to never talk to him again & have nothing to do with him. but we always said that no matter the situation, we’d always be friends after we broke up. & i dont think i could have somebody in my life for as long as 5+ years, only dating for over 4 1/2 (but still) & completely keep them out of my life. we had so many good times together, but he’s changed so much. idk, i’m just glad i dont have to see him every day. he kind of grosses me out; just in who hes become.
..just when you think you know somebody so well; you find out promises were always broken & they never could tell the truth to begin with.. just when you thought you knew.
another thing that makes me mad..
i’m sorry, but this just pisses me off royally.
a few weeks back, mom said that if i didnt do something about finding my certificate from kirkwood that i was going to “mess things up” with becoming a cna. it pissed me off at the time & i know she knows it, because she ended up calling me & apologizing about it later.
& now its almost midnight & i have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow morning to get ready & make it up to davenport by 7:30 in the morning to take my tests & dad wakes up & asks what time it is.. i reply, “almost midnight” & he says, “you’re not going to make it, theres no way”. thanks for the faith, thanks a lot.
..i AM going to make it there in the morning. i feel like everybody’s giving up on me. i’m not a fucking failure, i know what i have to do. if i dont pass the skills tomorrow, i’m not going to blame it on any body but myself, but i do think if i dont pass them its because i havent done most of them in so long.
have a little faith in me, i’m 18 years old, i’m young & i do stupid things sometimes, but that doesn’t mean i’m a mess-up. i know dad didn’t mean it in that way at all, but seriously.. thats how it came across & i can’t help but be mad about it.
i’m just so overwhelmed with everything thats going on in my life right now. working 8 hour days for the first time ever, knowing that i need to start concentrating on school, things with darrell & i have people that come to me with their problems like i’m suppose to fix them somehow. i can’t do it all, i just want a vacation or something. i just want people to be happier, i myself want to be happier. i want darrell back in my life, even if that means just as friends & only hanging out once a week. i mean, i dont know thats not going to happen, but i bet it doesnt happen that way. and on top of everything else, its february, pretty much the most depressing month ever. i freaking miss ben, i dont understand why things happen the way they do.
..i just want things to be easier. theres a saying that says, “you only have the life you live because God knows you’re strong enough to get through it”, but idk.. its just hard right now. idk what i need, but i need something to happen so that i’m not feeling this way any more. i’ve been feeling this way pretty much ever since darrell decided we should stop hanging out so much; & the other things just happen to fall in place too.
idk, i dont get it. but i need to get some sleep before i take those tests tomorrow. wish me good luck. (good luck!) because i have a feeling i’ll need it.

does it not bother you?
ok, so.. since my 4 1/2 year relationship, i was involved in another relationship. it lasted about 2 1/2 weeks, but after we broke up, we remained really good friends. so things were good on my end, it kind of bothered me that we hung out so much & were such good friends & nothing more;; but then i didnt really care because we were still hanging out.
..now everything was going great, we were hanging out, calling eachother all the time & then something happened. something i dont really want to post on here, but obviously it made things awkward for this guy. i was okay with it, i was just like “..oops, we’ll move on from it” but apparently it really bothered him. because like 2 days after it happened, he told me that he thought we needed to stop acting like we were dating. at first i didnt really get it, i never looked at it as though we were acting like we were dating, i saw it as us being friends & maybe having the potential of being something more agian someday. but no, this guy thought we should stop acting like we’re dating & just be “friends”. so we talked about it that friday, then we talked on saturday for like 2 minutes on the phone, didnt talk at all sunday or monday, then i called him tuesday. after several times of talking on the phone & then playing phone tag because neither 1 of us picked up when the other would call.. we finally got to talk later that night.
..he said he felt like we acted like we were dating because we hung out pretty much every day & talked on the phone several times a day. which was true, i started to see where he was coming from; because i did talk to & hang out w/ him more than any of my other friends & it was the same for him. but now its thursday & i havent talked to him since.
it REALLY bugs me. how do you go from talking to somebody every single day, not even that; hanging out with them every single day too.. to not talking to them at all? he says we’re still going to be friends & that it won’t be awkward when we DO hang out (if that ever happens), but then why does it seem so awkward that we’re not talking? like, i just wonder if he ever thinks about it like i do. probably not because guys are STUPID but i mean honestly.. sure, i’ll go awhile without thinking about it, but then when i’ve got the chance to actually sit down & think, he’s all i think about. if he asked me, i’d tell him straight up that i do like him, i care for him.. i really do. some people don’t see why, but i dont need other people to see it for me to know.
..mom asked me one time if i thought i loved him; i really & truly don’t. i think i fell in love with our friendship, with the time we spent together. there was rarely ever a dull moment, he always made me laugh. & there were times where we’d sit in the car & it’d kind of be an awkward silence, but even tho it was awkward, i still felt pretty comfortable. i’m not even sure that makes sense, but it does to me. maybe i just liked being with him so much that it didnt matter to me. ughhh idk.
like, i wonder if he even thinks about me any more. he obviously use to because he’d call me quite a few times a day. seriously.. the other day when we did talk on the phone; he texted me first to see if i was awake & i thought to myself, “idc if he even calls me, just that text right there makes me happy to know that he’s at least thinking about me.” that in itself probably sounds pathetic but ughh. idk.
i’m done puting all my forth & effort into trying to make things work with a guy. its dumb that i’m trying my best if he’s not going to do the same. its stupid, i’m done playing games.
why cant it just be easy?
