Tales of Never Never Land

Things you learn when you become a mommy

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 18:48:20 GMT

Ok-Kaitlyn is now almost 3 weeks old. Still the cutest, most perfect baby in the world..and she has taught me lots of things. I'll share some :)

1. As much as you may want your newborn listening to classical music so she doesn't grow up angry and pissed at the world, if you know she calms down when you turn on "Distance" by Soilwork, you turn on the swedish metal for her! (ya proud Brendan and Jared? :) )

2. You learn to enjoy every meal cold-no matter what it is.

3. Coffee first thing in the morning is good. (Even if you end up drinking it cold)

4. Even if the baby sleeps through the night, you won't because you're constantly checking on her to make sure she is still breathing.

5. During the first week, babies sleep all the time. Don't get used to it. By the second week they stay up more. They have also discovered their lungs..and will use them.

6. Moms can always recognize their own children's cries-even across the Kohl's store.

7. Dad's can sleep through the baby crying...or can at least pretend to very well :)

8. The baby will always take a crap AFTER you change her diaper.

9. Even if you hated playing with dolls growing up, playing dress up with a baby girl is always fun

10. When given the situation of getting to sleep 10 extra minutes or getting up to go to the bathroom, 10 times out of 10, you will chose the sleep option.

11. When somebody says "I'll watch the baby so you can lay down", take them up on the offer.

12. When someone says "A baby will change your life" they are right..but you know what..sometimes change is good. :)

13. A baby will change the relationship with your husband/boyfriend...but sometimes it's a good change.

14. A man's "hardcore level" goes down when he utters the words "footsies" to his daughter. (I love you Jeremy! lol)

15. You really do forget the pain of labor once the baby is out and looks at you for the first time. (Although once I entered Epidural-land, I had no pain!)

My Rant

Fri, 06 May 2005 04:12:09 GMT

Let me tell you!

I am REALLY fucking tired of people running their mouths. They can't mind their own goddamn business and have to but into other people lives. I don't know what the problem is with their own life, but why they have to try to screw mine up is beyond me. This *person* has pissed me off to no end. They don't know how to stay out of other people's business and has to fucking randomly talk to me only to try to get me pissed me off at something. Well let me tell you-you have your own fucking issues to deal with..don't get into my life. And if I ask you a fucking question-get off your goddamn pedastel and answer it.

If you read this, even if i don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened.
Then post this to your journal. See what people remember about you....

Sun, 30 Jan 2005 05:43:27 GMT

First and foremost-KRISTEN! Thank you for the cutest little outfit! I LOVE IT!!! It will go great with the pink chucks! LOL. Like mommy like daughter!

Well today I finished up registries..sorta. Well..the Toys R Us/Babies R Us one. (Kris-there's a babies r us in catonsville. Have fun!)

Then I got scrapbooking stuff. LOTS of pink stuff! It was a fun day.

Now it's snowing again and I really hope it doesn't get icy. I want to go out tomorrow. I hate being stuck at home. Really I do and I was stuck at home all last weekend.

Alright-this is way past my bedtime.

OH-Brendan-I'm sorry I didn't come out to your show-i had the flu. BUT my friend James went. :)

Jeremy and I went to the ultrasound today. IT'S A GIRL! Just what we wanted. And she is HYPER. HYPER HYPER! Takes after mommy and daddy! She didn't sit still once! She was flipping and turning and everything. It was cute. She is growing perfectly. She's exactly on schedule-half a pound exactly. In the ultrasounds you can see her little nose and her perfect lips and I even got to count all her toes! And fingers. Jeremy couldn't stop grinning the whole time. I think I even saw a tear. She is definitely going to be a daddy's girl. After the appointment we went to go get a little outfit so I could surprise my parents with the gender. They were excited. Well..my mom was. It was wonderful. I can't wait until June!

baby presents?

Thu, 30 Dec 2004 03:33:50 GMT

Alright-here's my plan. If anyone cares I want to start a collection of Disney movies for the baby. I know Disney movies go in a vault after a while and that's gay. I'm trying to get NEW DVD MOVIES for the baby. The ones that are out now. This is gonna get expensive but..that's what babies are. If anyone wants to buy my baby a movie I'd like it :) Hehe. I know all three lion kings are going away January 31st. I love you all! Leave me a comment!

Sorry Bren-I'm bored too

I AM 62% SKA!

Well, maybe I'm trying too hard, maybe I'm not trying hard enough. I shouldn't forget my roots, and remember that punk and reggae wouldn't exist without ska.

Take the SKA test at Fuali.com

I AM 74% METAL HEAD!

I rock just as hard as the rest of the thrash set, except when no ones looking I like to get down with a little "More than a Feeling."

I AM 62% PUNK ROCK!

The intelligent punk. Tuff and Smart. I may be able to maintain a train of thought long enough... What the fuck was I talking about?

I AM 73% GOTH!

Oh My Goth! You Goth, Girl. There is a good chance I am bi. Freakiness pumps through my viens, but I can still laugh at myself.

I AM 54% EMO!

Well.. I've made the cut! Now I'll go buy some promise rings and knit myself a sweater.

I AM 51% RAVER!

I may not be freaky like those Candy Kids, but I do know how to party. I am well connected in the scene, but may be getting a little tired of it.

The daily show said it best yesterday when they said:

"If you want to enjoy gay sex or go to a library, tonight may be your last night to do so."

I'm going to Canada-who's coming with me?

Sun, 31 Oct 2004 00:31:05 GMT

Bren-
Do you still want tapes for your car? I was looking through Joey's CDs and there's a lot of cds I think you would like. Name some bands and I'll see if he has them-or go to his myspace page (Shadow Seraph) from my friends pages and look at the cds.

Erin

PS-Im listening to Coal Chamber now getting ready for a show and I keep thinking of when you dressed me up as Rayna that year....the BEST halloween!!!!

ideas?

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 01:18:45 GMT

I'm going to a Halloween concert on Saturday and need costume ideas. I was thinking Raver but I'm open to suggestions. Leave me comments! I need them by Friday!!

Fairies and Angels....

Sun, 24 Oct 2004 03:58:27 GMT

This weekend was absolutely amazing!

Friday I took Mikey out after school for a few hours. We just chilled for a little bit. He helped me pack up stuff to take to Joey's. Since I stay there on weekends, Joey cleaned out a whole dresser for clothes and stuff so that I don't have to lug things back and forth. This weekend the kittens were coming too so I had to get all their stuff together as well.

I didn't get to Joey's until like, 9:30. I put some clothes away in my new dresser :) and got the kitties situated. They acted liked they owned the damn apartment once they got in. Joey had my favorite pizza waiting for me :) (Taddy Joey :) ) We just chilled for the night. His sister came over for a while to play with the kittens. I knida flipped out for a little bit...then calmed down. Oh yeah..we also dyed the tips of my spikes in the back of my hair red. It looks wicked..but I'm getting my hair cut Thursday so Joey has to redye it before Saturday.

Today we went to Rennfest. I had never been..he goes at least once a year. This year he went twice because of me. It was so much fun. I could definitely go clothes shopping there! I found a lot of wicked dresses and corsets that I want-I'll get them for next year. I am definitely dressing up next year. I wish I had brought more money-I found so much stuff that I wanted! Lots of paintings and such. We stayed there for a few hours. We left after we ate-i was getting exhuasted..it was getting late and I had to get home at some point. We took a little nap before dinner...then we ate..I packed up and left. I took the kitties home even though they liked it at joey's. And he liked having them there (even though they tried to tear up everything)!

Well I'm exhuasted and I have to get up early...Until next time!

Yesterday-ohh wow. I saw KoRn! Projekt Revolution Tour. Infuckingcredible. Everyone who knows me knows KoRn is my favorite band. I've now seen them 7 times. Each time gets better and better. This time is was great because I saw them with Don. That was actually supposed to be the day that we met for the first time. Whoops we fucked that up! We both had a great time. I got to see him (rare occasion) and see our favorite band together. We also went with Nick who is just uberly awesome. It was his first time seeing KoRn. I think he liked them :) Haha Nick! But anyway it was fantastic. I just got my voice back, but my whole body just HURTS. My neck pain made my head hurt too. That's ok...I don't care-I SAW KORN. Yeah i know..shut up.
Alright-also-as if ANYONE cares I am not moving to Ocean City...yet. I am going to finish college here first, then transfer to Salisbury. It's tough being away from Donny because we fight ALL the time because of the distance thing but it's never for long. We were just meant to be together-he's wicked cool!
Anyway-I'm tired. FYI-I need to see that Without a Paddle movie because Matthew Lillard AND Seth Green are in it...sooo yeah. Alright BYE!

I want friends

Thu, 01 Jul 2004 04:04:32 GMT

Hey Y'all. Anyone want to go see Faranhiet 9/11 with me??? Leave me a comment-I really want to see it

"In the end, I guess we're all just poseurs"

Sat, 26 Jun 2004 15:39:09 GMT

That quote came to mind while I was in Ocean City. See-Don is moving down there. Well, he already did. He was this goth-like kid (all black, used to do the make up thing, long black hair). The boi looked like Jonathan Davis exactly. He came to pick me up before we went to the beach and the child was wearing all white. White BILLABONG board shorts and a MATCHING billabong shirt. He explained the change-He's moving to the ocean to start his life over. Same reason why I'm giong. So why not change the way he dresses too. Black is just not practical for the beach. He's kinda got that surfer/prep thing going on. It's cute though-he's incredibly tan and everything so it actually looks good on him. The next day we spent over $200 at pac sun getting new clothes for us. I figured that where I live now, I have no friends to really speak of. I have a few that I talk to. None that I really hang out with other than Starbucks. I'm gonna feel really shitty on my 21st birthday when nobody offers to take me out. I actually don't think anybody knows when my birthday is. (July 9th fuckers).
Ok, so I have the prep/surfer thing going on too now. But I really love it. I actually, after I got used to it, feel really comfy. If my friends turn away from me because i "left" the punk/metal scene then FUCK THEM. I still listen to metal and punk and I always will. I'm just really trying this starting over thing and trying to get the hell out of this hateful town.

XOXO
Tink

Hi Ho, Hi Ho it's off to the beach I go

Fri, 18 Jun 2004 18:44:17 GMT

I'm leaving for the beach tonight. WOOHOO! Only for vacation-I'll be back Sunday. I'm so excited...a whole weekend with NO computer and NO worries. YAY! But we can't leave until after I get home from work tonight.

The kittens went to the vet today. They're kinda sick too :( Stupid Cecil County people not knowing how to raise kitties. They have some upper respitory infection and i think they have colds because mibblet sneezed the cutest sneeze EVER....yeah it was adorable. So they got medicine and go back in 2 weeks to get shots. These free kitties are getting expensive. But they are so worth it.

To add more chaos to everything-Don's dog had 7 puppies. They are part greyhound, part lab, part shepherd, and part pit. If anyone wants one....Leave me a comment. We can't take care of all these animals. We're keeping 2 of the puppies (the only 2 white ones) and giving the other 5 away. They are 3 days old. SOOO cute....omg!

As far as I know, moving to OC is still a go. It won't be until the end of the summer so for all those who want to hang out before I go-LET ME KNOW!!!!

Peace
**Tink**

Life is perfect

Sun, 06 Jun 2004 04:32:06 GMT

The past 2 days have been surreal. I went over to Don's last night to spend the night because we were supposed to get a kitten today. We laid in bed talking for hours and hours. About Ocean City, his mother, my life, our life together, us...everything. Talking about the kitten too-where they were sleeping, stuff like that. I asked if I could get two and he said that one was enough. I was kinda disappointed but I wasn't because I'm actually getting a kitten and I was excited over that.
I woke Donny up this morning and he made some phone calls and found a kitten in North East-up in Cecil County. So we drove up there and found the trailor park where these kittens were. I had the name all picked out-Mibblet Mae. Mibblet named after the bird in the South Park episode with KoRn. I'm a KoRn FReak-leave me alone :) So anyway-we got up to the house and saw the last two kittens. One long hair black and white one and a calico one. They were SOO cute. So I told Don that I couldn't decide so he said "Why don't we get both?". So we did! Now I have 2 six-week old kittens. The black and white one is named Harley Davis because his mother loved to ride motorcycles so I named her that in memory of her. He really liked that too. I figured it was the least I could do because he got me the kittens. They stay at his house because my mom is allergic but he became really attatched to them. They sleep on his bed with him and the litter box and food is in his room too.
I cannot stop smiling. Nobody has ever done anything like this for me. He knew that I always wanted a cat..but also because it's theraputic for me. Whenever I'm depressed i can go play with the kittens and I have something to "take care" of. If anyone wants to see pics of them-IM me--they are really adorable.

Like whoa-an update!

Fri, 04 Jun 2004 11:33:26 GMT

So I came to the site and realized that I hadn't updated in forever. So much shit has gone on I don't know where to start.

I don't go to college anymore. I failed this semester so my dad told me I couldn't go. That's fine with me, I would really rather pay for it myself. Trying to become a little more independent..you know? So instead of going to school at night I picked up a part time job-Toys R Us--right in bel air. It's a lot of fun really. I get to work with my best friend Aaron, it's extra money and it's a 5 second walk from starbucks!

In a few weeks I'm going to Ocean City with Donny and that should be fun. I've never really been to OC so I'm looking forward to it.

Tomorrow Donny is getting me a kitten. His name will be Mibblet (for those of you who watch South Park and like Korn-you SHOULD know how I got that name :) ) I'm really excited, I've never had a kitten before. I love cats.

Ok-here's the hard part. Donny was offered a job in Ocean City. If everything goes as planned, I'll be moving there with him. At first it was supposed to be for a month. Now it's a more permanent thing. I really want to go. Everyone is telling me to go which really just makes me think that I won't be missed. Not like anybody wants me here anyway. We both figure it will be a fresh start. I can get transferred to a school there where I can work and I can just kinda start my life over. We both know that it will be hard at first but it's something we both want more than anything. Just gotta run the idea past my dad. Wish me luck.

**Tink**

Yeah I did this once but those bitches who didn't fill it out better do it now!!

7. Describe me in one word.
8. What was your first impression?
9. Do you still think that way about me now?
10. What reminds you of me?
11. If you could give me anything what would it be?
12. How well do you know me?
13. When's the last time you saw me?
14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
15. Are you going to put this on your LiveJournal and see what I say about you?

:cough cough choke:

Tue, 18 May 2004 15:29:36 GMT

Well I'm still sick. Donny came up yesterday and fed me pudding and applesauce. He's coming up today too since we don't know when he's leaving for NYC. Yeah he got a new job and he'll be in NY for 2 weeks. :(
Now my friend Lil Dan is on his way to my house with a slurpee. :) That's present #1. When Donny comes up I get a Vanilla Creme Frappachino. Yay! I am so loved :)

Oh well....i stil hate being sick

Ugh with a side of UGH

Mon, 17 May 2004 00:53:08 GMT

I am so miserable. On the up side-today was mine and Donny's 1 month anniversary. Unfortunately I am sick as hell. I still had to go to my aunts graduation ceremony in DC which was pretty neat. She just got her Doctorate. Then we had brunch in the Smithsonian. I got home at like, 5 and just passed out. Now I'm watching Helter Skelter and eating soup.

Donny got a new job and i hate it already. He leaves Wednesday for NYC. He'll be gone for 2 weeks. Luckily he's still coming down to go to the hfstival with me. I think this will be the only time he will have to travel though. AND if he has to move somewhere I'm probably going with him. Since I'm not allowed to go back to college (failed again) and my parents won't pay for it. I don't mind paying for it...I kinda want that..but I can't do it right now. I don't have the money at all. I'll just work 2 jobs. However, i would love to be able to move down with Donny. Maybe once he moves closer to me it'll be better.

I don't know. I don't know about life anymore. I try to do things right..I really do..but I end up fucking them up. I've kinda been depressed but not suicidal (which is good for now). I talk to Donny about everything and he listens and totally understands.

OH yeah-i'm sooo sunburnt!! OWIE

Thu, 06 May 2004 05:58:44 GMT

Hi everyone!

I was really down today. I spent the day with Don and we stayed in bed ALL day. I should have been studying but being wrapped up with him is so much better.
I know I have finals and I'm really stressed but that was something I needed.
BUT THEN tonight I got all my frustrations out. I told Ryan (the psycho) how I felt. He's jealous of Don-which he should be. Don is everything I could ever ask for and Ryan just couldn't handle the truth. So..boohoo..i'm blocked. What a fucking dork. Like the shirt says "you are SO off my buddy list". Yeah and just to get back at what he did to me-one of the reasons i dumped him-HORRIBLE in bed. Wouldn't recommend him to..my dog.
So now i feel better and recharged and I can study. I hate finals time but after finals comes the concerts. Hfstival first, then going to the beach with Donny, then I have Ozzfest which is Donny's 21st bday!! Then in August-KoRn!!! I am so excited about that one. This summer is gonna be great. Donny's friend works at The Princess Bayside hotel so he can get us rooms whenever and a bunch of us are going to 6 Flags at some point. YAY!

AND I've stuck to vegetarianism for like, 2 weeks now. Damn!
