I just had waaaaaay too much fun decorating the atrium at work for holloween theamed kids night. I climbed up on latters and strung fake spider webs in it so it looked like a tunnel. and then I hung fake bones wrapped in "bloody" gauze from spider webs and it looked like a dead body died in it. it was pretty awesome. though i kind of wished i had ha da severed head...
i wanted to do more with these wicked chains they had, but my co-workers made me give them the staple gun back and said I was getting obsessed......

but if anyone stops by on friday overnight or saturday overnight, they should deffrinately take a look! its awesome.
and I work doubles on both friday and saturday, so friends are greatly appreciated!
anyways, I am going to knitt and watch a movie.

so I got beaten up.....

by the vacuum at work last night.
I was taking down the big vacuum hose and the end metal piece whacked me in the mouth. and split my lip. it bled and everything.
it's healing pretty fast. but I just feel stupid.

I love mornings.
I never really get to wake up early since I work overnights so much, but I woke up early this morning.
I woke up from a dream at like three thirty and just had to draw. i had such a huge urge to draw that immeadiately had to find a sketch book and a pen and draw something out. and its an interesting something. i'll have to work on it a bit, but it is promising.
I am not always the best artist ever. but I love it.
but this morning is so beautiful. I got to see the sunrise, which was lovely.
I never get to see sunrises any more and if I do it is when I am getting home from work and I usually am too tired to appreciate them.
but this morning it was lovely.
There is something about mornings that just make me want to create and dance and enjoy life.
maybe it is because it is so clean and fresh outside.
I think I am going to finish this pot of coffee and then fold some laundry.
I might even look online at some more schools.
I think today is going to be a lovely day.

apparently I have a stalker
a real one and its kind of scary.
he has stopped by a few times the last couple of days asking about me
like when i work, what my name is, what color is like, weird stuff like that.
I cant go outside by myself at work anymore.
even during the day.
so that sucks. and they might not let me do overnights during the week by myself
if he comes back again.
at least I have pepper spray.

and last night at kids night
a little girl
a horrible little monster of a little girl
asked me "are you a girl? cause you look like a boy."

so I have a stalker
and I look like a boy
woohoo
my life is exciting

events of yesterday:
I played baseball with like 10 cute boys. it was fun. and I actually played pretty well. but if I play with them again I want to bring more girls.

there was a cute little old lady that talked to to me during my overnight shift for like 45 minutes. she was really sweet.

doing a crossword puzzle with three different tables at the same time. it was like a resturaunt event!!

some one told me that elvis was the messiah....

oh the people you meet on an overnight shift. I like them.

random thoughts before bed after an overnight shift

work was long
but I made money
and the baker gave me a fresh steaming blue berry muffin
with the crusty sugar on top
and now I am home in my jammies
eating it
with a glass of milk
and you know what?
life isnt so bad

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:20:23 GMT

well I am single again.
but you know what?
its okay. actually I am enjoying it.
I don't want to deal with all the emotional responsibility of having a boyfriend.
and I need some Isabel time.
I need to figure out a room mate situation and the school situation.
and I need to spend time with my fabulous friends.
and I want to do something different with my hair...
red maybe?

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:40:20 GMT

my parents are dancing around the house singing songs from musicals.
they are cute.
I hope I am cute like that when I am old and married.

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:01:59 GMT

A lot of stuff is hitting the fan right now and peoples lives are going haywire. people are breaking up, quitting school, loosing friends, and making general asses of them selves and don't really know what to do about it.
well I think its that time of year and its happening to everyone. and it sucks. but just know that I love you all. and I am here for you guys. so I am sending a big ol' hug out to everyone. because you all need one. and I do too.

*hhhuuuuggggg*
love Isabel

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:46:13 GMT

Thank you to everyone that has been supportive of me these past weeks, I love you all!!!!

so I have decided to make some decisions about things. like I am going to go back to school in the fall. I am not sure where or for what, bt I am going to do it.
and I am going to move out of my parents house in the next six months. It will be so much easier on everyone involved for me to move out I think. And I have the means to live on my own and my very own car. I just need a roomie, but I think I found a couple from work so I think that might be covered.
and I have been working out more. and I enjoy it a lot. and I think I am going to be a vegetarian. I haven't eaten meat in like a week so I am on my way. I just need to find a good compleat multi vitamin.

I need some coffee.

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:31:01 GMT

so rob and I broke up after two years. its official. as of last night.
the hardest part? I keep do things throughout my day and think"oh I wanna tell rob that!"
and then I realize I cant.
and I feel like I am going to fall apart again.
I never realized this would be so hard.

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:45:12 GMT

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:21:42 GMT

so aparently my mom doesnt enjoy talking to me or my company..
and how I know this? she told me.
she said she just doesnt really care that much about what I think
and you know what? fine. she doesnt respect me.
she isnt treating me like an adult.
or even as nice as she treats the kids in her classes
I know she is stressed
but that doesnt mean she canb treat me like crap
and treat me like an emotional punching bag.

she makes comments all the time about me being "blue collar"
since im not in college im worthless aparently.
im not accomplishing anything with my life,
even though I work like a horse and I have more money in my bank account then she does.
I know I have to go back to college eventually
but its my decision im thinking maybe in the spring ill go back
I think ill be able to handle it financially and personally.

dont get me wrong I still love my mom,
but I think I am past the point where we can live together any more.

so today? I started packing thinks in boxes. just things like winter clothes, and winter bedding and stuff like that
and so since im planning to move out this summer ill be ready for it.
and it might be a bit of a slap in the face to my mum to see me packing boxes.
god ima bit of a vindictive bitch at times...

but on a much lighter note, im getting my first paid art gig!!
im painting some mirrors in the dinning room at perkins. and they are only paying my normal wages and everything
but its still paid. and it still makes me really happy.

and I also have a shiney new cobalt blue ds light. its quite cool.
