Been sick the past few days.  Not fun at all.  Had a fever these past two days, it finally broke today.  It's mostly in my head...seems like I caught what's been going around my store.  Even had to cancel the Andy bday party me and Jen were going to have today.  Well we'll have it on Nov. 28 when we go to Foxwoods instead LOL.  But yea...didnt go into the classroom today and canceled skating for tomorrow.  That's how you know i have to be sick...5 years I've been skating, I have never canceled a skating lesson. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....in NYC.  I came out of work the other day and bam the Rockefeller Tree was up.  Funny cause when I got to work that morning there was no tree in sight.  And then 6 hours later, there it is lol. 

I got tickets for me and Jen to see SafetySuit in concert on Jan 8!!!  So excited.  I love their bass player (big surprise huh since I have a weakness for bass players LOL).  Not to mention he's talked to me on Twitter a few times LOL.  But yea....so excited.  They're opening for Parachute...guess I'll have to listen to Parachute before the show LOL.  I do like their one single though lol.

Watched Project Runway last night....ehhh dont know I'm not into it cause all my favorites are gone.  But I'm glad I watched it last night since they brought Chris back LOL.  I guess I just want anyone to win now as long as it's not Irina.  She annoys me LOL.

People really are idiots.  Every day this week while walking through Manhattan I have been pushed, almost pushed, or almost knocked down.  Seriously...I had to run like 10 blocks to catch the bus on time cause people don't know what it means to walk in Manhattan.  I mean why people see the need to just stop in front of those walking in the middle of the street is beyond me.  Ugh...this is the one reason I hate holiday time in NYC...the tourists who come here make it impossible to get around the city.  Then on top of it...yet again I got hit on by a guy with dreads.  Every time I'm in the city it happens.  I mean do I have a sign on me that says I love guys with dreads?  I only liked one guy with dreads and that was Jason.  And I do use the word WAS lol. 

I hated class this week so much.  It was Andy Skib's bday so I didn't want to be stuck in class at all.  Then I figured she wouldn't keep us long since she never does.  OMG...the one day I wanted to be home early...she kept us the full 2 hours.  And for what?  Nonsense.  All she had us do was watch videos that were putting us all to sleep.

I went to visit my magician buddy at Fantasma yesterday and he played a trick on me.   Omg it freaked me out I tell ya.  He had me randomly pick a song card and what did I choose...Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.  That wasn't even the trick but I was freaked out when I picked Michael Jackson randomly.  Then he puts headphones onto a box and Billie Jean started playing.  Seriously I was freaked out.  And then today I was walking down a street in the city and two stores within a block of each other were playing Michael Jackson music.  Freaky huh....I'm telling you it's all signs that I made the right decision to do a Jackson program for my skating this year. 

My dog is too funny.  He's 5 years old now and guess what...he just realized he had a tail!  Now he realizes he has a tail and starts chasing it.  Only Sammy LOL.

OMG...the rink today played Like A Virgin.  I just about died on the ice!  Here I am trying not to think of Joey or Andy while skating but how could I not think of them when that song is playing lol.

Bought the Ugly Truth today.  OMG...I loved that movie so much. And plus I haven't bought a Gerry Butler movie since 300...it was about time I got another to add to my collection LOL.

I can't believe it...I ran into Brian on my day off from work!!!  Usually I just see him when he's at the store as a customer.  But I was just hanging out outside my store talking to my friend when someone who looks like Joey Clement catches my eye.  And I'm thinking to myself...omg it's Brian! Hopefully I'll see him tomorrow while I'm at work. 

I'm sick...I dont know today I woke up my chest all congested, I can't stop coughing.  And my throat is bothering me and my head is heavy.  Ugh!!!

Today began the week much better than last week.  Didn't wake up to any surprising or unexpecting news on twitter like I did last Sunday LOL. Hopefully this is a sign that this whole week will be a lot better than last week.

I fixed up my paper for class tomorrow.  I just made up stuff for it.  My professor made no sense.  I mean you're writing about an observation you made in a classroom.  How you're supposed to cite sources on that is beyond me...but whatever.  I'm convinced professors don't know what they're talking about.  But I just put in citations there so I could get it over with LOL.

I missed Joey Clement online!!! I was so mad I just missed him...like within a matter of a few seconds!!!  That would've helped me get going on that stupid paper LOL.

Watched Figure Skating on TV today.  Saw Johnny Weir!!!!  So excited he made 2nd place...I was happy when I saw him in first but he got knocked down by the last skater.  But the fact he stayed in the top 3 made me happy.  Can't wait to see him during the Olympics.

YAY!!!! Apolo Ono is in the Olympics too this year!!! cant wait!  And double excited for the Olympics now cause...APOLO ONO is in it again!!!  He's my fav speed skater.  So can't wait for the Olympics to begin.

I am so excited about this Michael Jackson program I'm going to do for skating this season.  I was listening to the This Is It soundtrack and thinking of moves for the programs...I feel this is my own way of honoring and remembering him.

So I have a guitar that I've had for about 11 years now..and I rarely play it.  I took it out the other day and played for a little bit.  But now I feel like I wanna stop with that and move on to the bass.  Cause the only songs I can seem to play on the guitar are Jason's songs.  And I dont want to keep being reminded of him every time i pick up the guitar....ughh...I don't know. I wanna give up the guitar and play bass like Joey.  But at the same time I wanna keep my guitar and play it like Andy....ehhh decisions decisons lol.

Feeling much better than I did last night when I was getting all those Jason fans jumping down my throat.  I mean seriously..really...just get a life. If I don't happen to wanna be a huge fan like I once was well that's my opinion.  Don't try to change how I feel ya know.  And I talked about this with Jen last night...I realized what had happened when I went to the mall concert.  I think I was trying to convince myself that I still loved Jason like I did back during the Idol time.  But I just cant do it...I just cant go back to that time.  All the times I met Cook and saw him in the concert this past summer...those were much better times.  More fun times really.  And I'd rather see David again before ever seeing Jason again.

Woo hoo! And even got my costumes!  I talked to my coach today about my skating programs. I can do the two Michael Jackson songs.  I'm doing "Bad" and "Beat It"  We talked it over and even talked costumes.  AHHH so excited.  In a way I feel this is my own way of remembering him.  I wanna do like my best with these programs.  

Now I didn't watch Idol this past year cause i protested the show since Jason was kicked off.  And boy do I regret doing that.  Cause I missed seeing Adam on the show but I absolutely love his music!!! I can't wait to get his cd.  I've been hearing For Your Entertainment on the radio constantly and...I just love the song.

I'm trying to win Bon Jovi tickets for me and Jen.  No such luck so far.  But i'm gonna keep trying.

Last night at the David Cook show, Andy sang Til I'm Blue.  I love that song so much when he sang it in Midwest Kings.  But I wish just once that Andy would sing at one of the shows me and Jen go to.  Hell I'm willing to go to Tulsa so I can see him doing a solo show there.

wow just woke up after like a 3 hour nap LOL...time to go back to watching Andy now LOL  I had such a workout with skating today.  I was so exhautsed that I took a 3 hour nap...or maybe even longer.  I woke up like an hour ago LOL.  I'm still tired.

starting a new fanfic!  Started a new Andy fanfic!!! Yea I know I havent finished my other ones yet but when I get new ideas I just need to start new fanfics LOL.

Project Runway...am I happy with the final 3...not really.  Chris was my favorite on the show and I hoped he would've made it to the finals.  But he didn't :(  Sometimes I don't understand designers.  All his designs they hated I loved and would've so worn too.  Oh well...I guess out of the 3 I would like to see Carol Hannah win.

Had Student Teaching today...went very well actually.  I worked with students one on one most of the day helping them with writing math problems.  The 2nd graders are so cute...hyper...but cute LOL,

Girls night out with Jen was so much fun!  We went to Unos for dinner and drinks (and trust me...I needed it tonight lol).  Then just wondered around the neighborhood aimlessly talking bout David and Andy and Joey LOL.  It just felt good getting out and clearing my mind ya know...

I can't believe it...I started getting nasty messages from Jason fans.  Out of nowhere.  My tweets weren't even about Jason or David...all I said was I got back from work and people starting sending me nasty messages for being a Cook fan.  Then one Jason fan had the nerve to call me a liar and say messages like that didn't exist!  See this is the reason I get turned off from Jason...it's not him who does it...it's his fans who turn me off from him...they scare me with these messages and I end up getting myself sick over it.

I can't wait til Friday.  Me and Jen are having our margarita friday get together...and boy do I need it.  I swear all the crap going on this week is just annoying now.  I'm getting crap just cause I'm not happy that Jason Castro got engaged!!! So what if that's how I feel ya know.  And know why the reason I'm not happy...cause i feel like he did this too soon into starting his career and now that this little stunt just may ruin what he hasn't even started yet.  I mean no cd out yet, just this small tour he did for radio and mall...he's just taking off.  And now I feel like this is just gonna ruin what he could've had.  And again it's my opinion so I don't care if people agree or not it's how I feel and I think he's an idiot for doing this now...And I know some fans feel the same way...But of course people give me crap for not being happy.  I'm sorry but I tried to be at first and just couldn't.  Now don't get me wrong..I still like his music, I'm still getting the cd but that's it. I just don't feel the need to see him in concert or meet him again.  I did that...got my pic...what more do I need..nothing!  There...I feel so much better now finally saying how I feel.  It's not bottled up anymore.

Good news came today...I got a raise at work! Woo Hoo!!! Got a good review from my boss.  So much better than what I got at the old store...wonder why.  I'm appreciated more over here I think.

I'm glad I wasn't in the mood to skate today...the rink was closed anyways HAHA.  They had something special going on for the Olympics today.  100 days left!!! Can't wait.

I'm getting closer and closer to walking into the Bass Room in Manhattan at Sam Ash.  I stay away from going inside but still...I really wanna buy a bass.  I know i should learn my guitar first but....who knows....maybe I will go to the bass.

I went walking around the city today bored after work.  Some guy walked passed me who looked like Constantine.  I dont know if it was him or not cause he walked by too fast...but all I kept thinking was...omg what if it was him LOL.

Nope…not at all.

My best friend, Jen, told me she gave me a month before I was over Jason again and into Andy once again...and well it only lasted 2 weeks LOL.  Guess I couldn't stay away from Andy for long huh lol.  With the recent news of Jason that's been all over the net  (i dont wanna mention it or talk about it so I'll leave it at that) let's just say...fan of his music..yes.   But that's it.  I have no desire to meet him or see him in concert again.  Got my picture with him and that's all I wanted.  Well that and to tell him bout the skating thing...which when I think about it...David Cook was still more thrilled about me using his music than Jasonw as about me using his music.  Hence the reason I've changed and won't be using his music for skating now...why do the music of someone who doesn't seem the appreciative bout it right...His mom seemed more excited that she finally got to meet him.  What I'm getting at...I fell in love Again with Jason at the wrong time.
So I've been getting back to being myself now...listening to Andy's music again.  And ya know that...his music makes me feel so much better :)
Know the one song that is making me feel like 100x better...Story of your life by THH. 
One thing that never fails to cheer me up are my best friends...especially our conversations.  This was between me and Jen the other day and it still cracks me up.  Jen: "I'm not gonna tell you what or who to do."  Me: "You mean I can do ANDY!"  OMG...that really made me cheer up with all the garbage I've been dealing with these past few days.
So Monday's Andy's birthday...unfortunately I have class so I can't stay home and watch all my Andy videos like I wanted too LOL...but I will wear my red pants to class that day in honor of him LOL.
I forgot that Sunday marked the one year anniversary I fell in love with Joey Clement <3 And my life hasn't been the same since LOL.
Me and Jen are having margarita Fridays this week...hoping my stomach is rid of this bug by then.  Cause I so need to drink this weekend....drowning my pain and sorrows...it's gonna be like Foxwoods trip all over again except Joey's not the reason LOL.
I was so nervous getting my paper back in class yesterday.  I thought I completely bombed it...but I didn't.  Nothing bad just need to add stuff to it that we had learned in class yesterday so I'll do that this week and give it bck to my professor.

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

There were only 4 words to describe work on Thursday: What a crazy day!  You know I just had a feeling it was gonna be one of those days and it sure was.  But if anything could happen in one day...well that was what happened.  It was just insane and well scary.  But I did decide to relax that day and hit the rink once I got out of work. 

It's not even Christmas yet and Manhattan is already overcrowded with tourists.  And I hate that at the rink so much!!! They all think they own the rink and go into the figure skater's spot to skate which they get yelled at to move by guards and still don't move!!!  That's the one thing I hate about holidays in NYC. And the crowd was starting at the rink when I went skating Thursday afternoon.  Ugh...  But I did get some practice in which my coach was happy with and said it showed during lessons today.  Oh and I've made my decision for the skating recital...gonna do "Bad" since it'll be a tribute for Michael Jackson.  And then for the competition it'll be that song and Jason's song.

Hyper 2nd graders...that's who I worked with yesterday.  It was a Halloween party at the end of the day and they were flying off the walls LOL.  But I was able to get my lesson done with my one student which was good.

Halloween was fun...I put on my costume and wore it to the rink for my skating lessons. And we took a group photo. People seemed to love my costume too. After this...I'm gonna watch my traditional Criss Angel Halloween special and then the Crow...I love that movie.

I hate a lot of the local stations here!  They don't seem to like to play Jason's single at all.  And frankly...I wanna scream if I have to sit through Come Back to Me one more time!  But at least they played Man in the Mirror on the radio...that made me happy...and cry a little LOL.

They already have a pre-order for This Is It!!!!  Since I'm missing it in the theaters I pre-ordered it already.  So worth it.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

daisy
