ok wow...first of all, its been tooooooo long about 2 years already. this says im 17 but im 19...bout to turn 20. well, as you know im done with high school, and well im not in college. I've been working, a lot. I work at my family's restaurant and its like overwhelming....i work everyday except tuesdays and fridays. Sometimes i work nites, sometimes days, and sometimes in the afternoons. Anyway, i got a new car...i had a 2005 4 door cobalt (chevy) and now i switched it for a 2006 2 door cobalt...so thats pretty good, i guess. let's see what else...im working on moving out of my house and getting my own place, im just waiting for a raise, i can do it with what i make now but it'll be tight so with a raise i know for sure i'll be straight. my best friend andrea is like married practically, she has her own place and lives with her bf, once you live together, you're married...well i think. so we haven't been hanging out as much as we used to, we do sometimes, but its like random. we argued a while back pretty bad, because she was mad that i didnt hang out with her as much but honestly i felt weird being around her and her bf because i felt like i was in their way...can u really blame me for feeling that way? as much as i tried to chill with them i just couldn't do it...we are a lil better now like we hang out sometimes, but not too much. oh well...i still go out by myself (well with my other friends). ok so im going out with this guy...his name is enrique. i really really like him...a lot a lot a lot. it's only been like 3 weeks that we've been together, but it's been about 2 months that we've been talking and hanging out. he's a year younger than me which is a lil weird for me but not really cuz 1. it doesnt look like im older and 2. he doesn't act like he's younger than me. anyway, the way we got together was weird...we met when he was going out with one of my friends and when they broke up we started talking. they only went out for a week...and he said that the only reason he went out with her is because she asked him and he felt bad saying no and that he didn't really like her. when i first met them i kinda noticed that he didn't like her because of the way he acted towards her, like moving away from her and stuff and not huggin her or nutting. But well, i didnt really think nuttin of it. Then one nite we all went out and they had broken up and then he kinda like started giving me hints of him wanting to talk to me and then asked me for my number and then from then on it just happened. I dunno if its bad that im going with him because of her being my friend and all, but well we're not like good friends we just know eachother and we've only hung out like twice. Anyway, i feel good about this one like maybe hopefully it's gonna go somewhere. you know? ok well other than that....i finally talked to my friend, kandi. i hadn't talked to her in like 1 year and a half cuz we kinda argued i guess...and plus she went to study abroad in south korea. well, i finally got a hold of her and we went and got a snow cone and talked about everything that's been going on. She's good...she is gonna go study abroad again in italy, i think next semester. me and my lil sister are becoming really really close....and its cool. she's only 13 but she's a cool lil 13 year old, im glad to have her as a sister. we have a lot of things in common, and i can talk to her about stuff...not everything but about some stuff. we kinda got a lot closer when me and my mom's bf started arguing all the time...i hate him. i wish he'd move out, but it's my moms house and im not gonna ask her to tell him to leave because it's not my place to say it. i think that she should notice how uncomfortable me and my sister are and that should get into her head and her realize that having him there is not a good idea. he's real nosey and thinks that he can tell me what to do because he lives there...well bullshit cuz he can't. my dad didn't even have that authority when he was around, so what makes him think that he does, right? he doesn't even work he's a lazy bum, but whatever i've already told my mom how i felt and it's up to her now. well, remember that boy felipe that was in a couple of my entries...well he's in jail. YEP...he's got about 30 years on him, from what i've heard. They told me he robbed a bunch of places or something like that, i don't really know the exact story. my brother moved out of the house, i missed him the first couple of weeks, but i got used to it. he's always over there washing clothes or eating, we got a lot closer too. we still fight on occasion but not as much, i think him moving out helped him out a lot. let's see....what else..........oh yea...3 of my friends are already married and pregnant. Rosa, Ceci, and Theresa. I went to Rosa's wedding and i caught the bouqet...crazy huh? That's my 2nd bouqet that i've caught. So i guess im next...haha, we'll see. well im here at work, so i gotta get back to my job. 'till next time....
