So last year was pretty rough for me, as many of you know. I hoped so much that 2010 would be better. It started out good, or at least I thought so. I met someone new and jumped head first into a relationship as usual, which wasn’t for the best this time. He was a really nice Guy but we just weren’t meant to be boyfriends, we didn’t talk much and that’s not good for any kind of relationship.
As that relationship was ending, I started talking to someone else, only as friends. I quickly realized that I deserved better that I was getting from my now ex and broke it off with him. Shortly after that I continued talking to the other guy and we found out just how alike we are. It’s been amazing and I’ve never felt better about a things. I’m trying my hardest not to project my thoughts about the future, which isn’t easy for me. I’m just taking it a day at a time and enjoying the ride. I’m looking forward to April 16 when he will be flying down here. I’m hoping for a great time and being able to introduce him to my friends.

Living a day at a time
Life teaches
So, I just wanted to take some time to make sure everyone knows that I do not hate or harbor any bad feelings towards my ex. Yes, I vented quite a bit, but I appreciate that he was honest with me and that says quite a bit about him. I still think he’s a great guy and hope the best for him. I truly hope that we can still be friends. I know that might take some time, and that’s fine. I believe that it will be worth it. Things don’t always work out the way we want them to, but that’s part of life. What I’m most frustrated with is the fact that I’ve been in 4 or more failed relationships this year alone. I don’t like that, but I believe that it is going to help me in the long run. Why? Well, I now seen some of the mistakes I’ve been making. Hopefully I can learn from these mistakes as well as work on making myself a better person until Mr. Right and I find each other.
Life hurts…
So, I got some bad news last night. I kind of saw this coming, but it still doesn’t make it any easier. Lately, it seems I can’t catch a break. It’s just short relationship after short relationship. Is it too much to ask for someone to be truthful? If you don’t want a relationship or don’t feel you can be in one, then just say so beforehand and save me all the hurt. I give and I give and don’t get anything in return. I’m so sick and tired of it. I still care about him and there’s the whole trip to Omaha, too. I’ve already paid for it and of course, it’s non-refundable. All I can do is hope for the best, seeing as I really don’t know anyone else in Omaha.
I wonder…
Sometimes I wonder why we go through things in life. Right now is one of those times. I know that in the end I will be ok but I have so many questions right now but no answers in sight. This is rather stressful for me. I’m trying to be patient and relax but its really not easy for me right now…
I’m not perfect
I’ve made many mistakes in my life and while I know they are mistakes, I don’t regret making them. I have learned by making these mistakes. The biggest majority of mistakes are financial. I have been a shopaholic in the past, I’ve been working on that and now I’m in the process of paying off the debt that I amassed by doing so. I have never (nor do I ever) expect for someone to bail me out. I got myself into this mess and I have to get myself out of it. And with me being down to only one job, I have to be way more of a better steward of my finances than ever. I have to find ways to cut back, no matter if I like it or not, and that has lead to some rather tense exchanges between my boyfriend and I. I know that finances are always a sticky subject, but I have to make adjustments to my spending habits and while they may not be the choices that others would make, I have to do what is right for me. Which seems to be reducing the amount I drive, which means going to see my boyfriend less often; however, I-85 runs both ways, right?
I hope this doesn’t upset him, but I just wanted to say this.
I’m not lonely!!!
So, recently I started seeing this GREAT guy. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He’s a total sweetheart and I can’t say enough good things about him. We just hit it off from the start. Things are going so well. I’m not scared one bit with him, I can see myself with him for the rest of my life, actually! He means so much to me already. I look forward to all the future has in store for us! 
My email to Time Warner Cable
I just wanted to bring it to the attention of Time Warner Cable that MANY of your customers are FURIOUS about your plans to implement caps on data and charges for overages on your internet service. In this time of hardship, you want to force consumers who are having a hard enough time to pay even more for your service? What are you thinking? I pay $133/month and that’s enough! Your company is making plenty of money, you do not need to charge the poor consumer more. Especially since you are only targeting non-FiOS service areas. If only FiOS was available in Greensboro, NC I’d switch in a heartbeat. My friend has it and pays what I pay for his internet service and gets 20MB down and 5MB up. I get a fraction of that speed and pay the same price. You have outraged me. Your greed astonishes me. Have you no decency?
Sincerely,

E-mail from NC Legislature Representative
Today, I got an email from the Human Rights Campaign urging me to send an email to NC Legislatures about a bill that would amend the state constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. I filled out the form and within minutes, I got a response from Pricey Harrison. I’m copying the email below:
thanks for writing on this
I refuse to write bigotry and hate into our constitution
fyi, the bills are not going anywhere
Best
Pricey

Subject: Please vote No on HB 361/SB 272
Representative Pricey Harrison
North Carolina House of Representatives
16 W. Jones Street, Room 2119
Raleigh, NC 27601-1030
Dear Representative Harrison,
As a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign, I am writing to ask that
you oppose House Bill 361/Senate Bill 272, legislation proposing an
unnecessary, divisive amendment to our state constitution.
Our state is facing serious, daunting crises — economic insecurity, job
losses, a rising budget deficit, crumbling infrastructure — but some
want to take their eye off these priorities in an attempt to eliminate
rights for some North Carolinians.
HB 361/SB 272 does nothing to protect anyone’s marriage, but it would
take away even the smallest protections for unmarried couples.
This legislation would amend our state constitution to provide
that: “Marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal
union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.”
This proposed amendment isn’t just about marriage — it’s about denying
any kind of legal recognition or protection to unmarried couples, even
something as basic as joint health insurance.
With the many economic and other problems we all face together, the last
thing we need is an unnecessary measure like this one, which serves only
to divide us. I hope you will vote No on HB 361/SB 272 and turn your
focus to legislative priorities that can help all North Carolinians.
Respectfully,
Jonathan Britton
I want…
someone to call my own…
real friends that live close to me…
to be able to buy a home within the next year…
to feel better about my whole life…
a better job, or at least one that I don’t hate to go to…
I’m alive…
So, I haven’t blogged in a while and I feel rather bad for that, but I’ve been a little busy or just not in the mood to blog. A number of htings have been going on lately. In a little while, I’ll be heading over to my sister’s finace’s house to take some pictures of them for their save the date cards for the wedding. Then, we are heading to Lucky 32 for lunch with both families to discuss the wedding, which will take place on September 19, 2009. September is alrady a busy month, my birthday is a week after (the 26th), my sister’s is the 16th, mom’s is the 14th, and her finace’s is the 2nd, but they want to get married this year and that’s the only time available. Whatever they want, I guess.
Last night I went out with a friend and saw “He’s Just Not That Into You,” which I though was a GREAT movie! I almost cried at the end! Also, I could relate to one of the female main characters! She dissected everything that guy would say to her and that’s exactly what I do!
