    <content type="html">So today I worked.. what a shocker..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I didnt get home from Unos til 2:30am yesterday(19 hour day), I still opened today and got off around 6:30.. by the time I ate and called my cab it was like 7:45 and now i'm just now getting home.. And I'm pooped.. fuck the fireworks, I'm going to bed..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and I put my 2 weeks in at Todays Pet yesterday.. After almost 3 years I cant believe I'm actually leaving..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever want to shower so bad because you feel so incredibly gross but then realize that you're so tired you would pass out if you did in fact make it to the bathroom?</content>

I am out need to go on a a calll.. we can pick this up another time  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;xYour x Worst Ex&lt;/i&gt;: whatever&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;JJartistsmanager&lt;/b&gt;: see ths is where I get annoyed you go whatever and cop an attitude.. instead of talking through the problem you blow up swear left and right. and don't listen to what the other person is saying..    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;xYour x Worst Ex&lt;/i&gt;: you have to go so how are we talking through it!!! and i am totally listening to what you;re saying its just not makign any fucking sense to me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;JJartistsmanager:&lt;/b&gt; I like to talk about problmes and work thru them.. not hold shit inside and then let it all out.. listening isnt just done w/ your eears ...just think about my side of things..with what we are talking about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;xYour x Worst Ex:&lt;/i&gt; alright jamie.. go do your call &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear sometimes when I fight with him, I feel like I'm fighting with you Lauren.. He even said "cop".. That is so your word..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So todays fight was about some things that were brought up at dinner tonight.. Even after 5 months he still hasnt told his parents about me.. Yes of course it's hard to tell them because he's 29 and I'm 18, but come on, its been 5 fucking months.. He's like "I was going to tell them when I saw them this weekend" which I knew he was going to say.. Whether he's telling the truth or not it just still pisses me off.. He will never ever say it, but I know theres a part of him thats like "what the hell am I doing with an 18 year old." It just really, really fucking bothers me that some of the people he cares about the most dont even know I exist.. Or like last weekend when his best friend/ ex girlfriend was in town I didnt meet her either.. She was in town for like 4 days and not ONCE did Jamie invite me to go out to lunch or dinner or to anythign they did.. He actually had the audacity to call me to get directions because they wanted to go to the bowling alley 3 mintues away from my house and didnt even fucking invite me.. I was absolutely irate and just thinking about it now makes me more upset.. And fuck even when we first started going out, whenever we went to shows it just seems like he talked to everyone there except me.. Maybe it's all in my head, but sometimes I just dont know what to do.. It kind of sucks to be dating someone you feel is kind of ashamed of you..</content>

They care emensley for one another and even if one person dislkies something, they give in to the needs of their partner beucase they know it would make them happy.. to put aside ones own selfish needs to make the other happy and vice versa..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I want is for you and 2 people you care about to sit around a table and talk to 3 people that I care about.. I'm not asking you to cut off an arm or give up your first born child, I'm asking you to a fucking dinner for christsake.. But that's just too "awkward".. Without even giving it a chance..</content>

    <content type="html">So the past few days have been good.. I didnt end up going to MCR on Sunday though :( (Sorry Carolyn &amp;lt;3) But I did work yesterday and today and made a combined $230 bucks.. Not bad.. We did sales averages and tips averages of all the servers that worked last night and since I worked a double I was on there twice at the top of the list which was pretty hot.. Both nights we've been slammed out on the patio and I havent gotten home til like 11 although I get there at 10:45am..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a lot of good tables today and for the most part all my guest were happy.. Which makes me happy.. The servers however piss me off somtimes.. Some people can be SO god damn lazt it pisses me off.. They dont run other peoples food and they stand around when cups, ice, or plates need to be restocked.. We have SO many dumb as people that work there I cant even belive they're still employed.. People dont realize that they are at WORK and that they are requiered to do WORK.. This is not text message or talk on my cell phone, eat when I'm not on break, sit on my ass and do nothing type of work.. It's riduculous.. But for the most part everything is ok.. It just seems as though there are more problems with the servers than with the guests and thats not a good thing..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our pre meal today our manager told us that out of all 200 Unos locations that we're in the top 10.. Which is awesome considering we've only been open for an exact 30 days.. Jamie told me last night that I was one of her favorite severs and yeah I've only been doing this for a month.. Almost everyone else has had resteruant experience but me so it makes me glad to know that I'm doing really well and almost better than other people that have dones this before..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well tomorow is my day off so that makes me happy.. I've have no idea what I'm gonna do though.. Maybe sleep..</content>

    <content type="html">So everyone go to pure volume and check out this band called The Silence..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamie just called and told me that these guys want to fly him out next week to see them play.. They want Jamie to manager them as well.. I think they're ok.. Nothing I havent heard before.. Jamie works enough as it is with the bands and jobs he has right now.. He really cant take on anything else.. But these guys in The Silence seem pretty motivated.. They're on warped tour this year and they have a UK tour lined up as well Jamie says.. They play sold out shows at the Chain Reaction and a lot of other venues in Cali so thats cool too that they already have an established fan base... But yeah he should take the trip and consider them but we'll see..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I spent the night at his house with Jay after we got home from shopping in Georgetown and we stayed up and watched Chapell show and the Furnest Fest DVDs that Jamie and Jay were in.. Theres this really funny scene when Andrew WK is onstage and theres like hundreds of kids trying to be onstage with him and Jamie is just throwing kids left and right to get away from the stage.. My boyfriend the wanna be body gaurd &amp;lt;33&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today was good.. I woke up and Jay drove me home at like 10.. I had graduation rehersal at 11:30 and then went to work at like 3.. Work was good.. I sold 2 dogs and got a total of 3 thousand in for the day.. It was hot.. Tomorow I work at Unos at like 3:45 I think.. So right now im gonna go paint my nails and get to bed.. I'm beat.. &amp;lt;33</content>

    <content type="html">Lilo died this morning :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called my job on my break to see how she was doing and Carol told me she died earlier this morning.. I started crying and everyone kept asking me if I were ok.. I felt kind of retarded telling them my cat died, and it wasnt even my cat, it was my stores cat, but still.. I'm going to miss her so much because she was just the coolest.. I would always dance around the store listening to John Mayer with her and she would never bite or scratch me.. She would just let me pick her up and dance around..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I'm getting even more pissed off because I'm sitting here watching the news and this stupid bitch that is being charged for abusing Iraqi citizens is being interviewd.. I'm ashamed to be from the same state as her and from the same country.. She actualyl just stated "There were 7 Iraqi men around.. What would you do if you were little ole' me?" That bitch is trying to pull the sympathy card for being the only butch ass lesbian in the camp.. I hope she gets run over by an 18 wheeler, gets left on the side of the road, and have the birds eat out whatever is left from her insides.. What a bitch.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I have a shit load of stuff to do tonight but i cant even move.. Partly because I'm so tired/ super pissed off and today was just another sucky day..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only went to school for a half day cuz i had to run a bunch of errands.. Went to get my dress altered and its sad because my dress alteration cost more than the dress itself.. Awesome.. Then I went to the bank to find out my account was negative 94 dollars which is impossible because I just got a check from my dad for 200.. So Bank Of America will be getting a VERY angry call from me tomorow and fiixng my account..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those fucking cecadas are coming out this weekend.. Large over sized bugs for the next 6 weeks will be swarming all over my town.. AWESOME..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in a bad mood and I hope you all choke..</content>

    <content type="html">So today was alright.. Only 8 more full days of school left and then 5 days of finals.. Not bad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so burnt out from working so much, I cant even get up on time.. Working the 2 doubles this weekend killed me and working til 11 everynight doesnt help either..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I was at Unos til 11 and tonight I worked at Todays Pet.. It sucks because our cat Lilo is dying.. Last night she must have swallowed a tylenol or some type of medicine because we rushed her to the vet this morning and they cut her open and they said she was a mess inside.. They said the only things that could have messed her up that badly were pain killers or chemicals.. Everyone was in tears today because Lilo is the best cat ever.. SO sweet and so affectionate.. She is only 1 so she cant die yet.. Dr.Brown said it didnt seem likely that she would make it, but we're all hoping for the best.. She's apart of our Todays Pet family.. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another shitty thing that happend today is Morgan cant go to prom with me. His mom wont let him come down from VA so that sucks.. I still might be going with Jon's friend Andrew, but I dunno.. We'll see..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I have SO much work to do.. Finals to study for, papers to write, and projects to do..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has just been a crappy day and Jamie is out of town right now visitng his brother and all I wanna do is curl up next to him but I cant..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shit sucks..</content>

    <content type="html">The past few days and the next few weeks are goign to be so incredibly hectic I wont even have time to breathe.. All in the next 16 days I have graduation, prom, finals, tests, projects, and 2 jobs to work at..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night was my first night training at Unos and it just went horrible..&lt;br /&gt;1.) They didnt tell people they were'nt training in the store.. Instead they were training at the Hilton.. Awesome for people who dont have cars..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) They failed to tell me and a few other girls that uniroms had to be worn during training..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) They told me Training was Wednesday and Tomorow.. Now all of a sudden its Tomorow until next friday and they expect trainees to be at the opening.. I HAVE ANOTHER JOB I'M ALREADY SHEDULED TO WORK, THANKS.. Oh yeah and opening night is the day of my prom..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.) I MISSED THE SEASON FINALE OF THE OC!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywyas I'm just super stressed out right now because I dont want to make a bad impression at a new job because I'm super unavailable this week.. If I would have been told in advance then maybe something could have gotten worked out but grrr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;be back in a sec..</content>

Dan's on tour with Less Than Jake right now and they were off all day in VA.. so we drove up there last night, got there at like 11, hung out and had a blast and then came home at like 4am..

    <content type="html">Usually I get mad about things but I dont like totally flip out and make a scene hardly ever.. You ever have one of those days where nothing goes right and everything starts to bulid up and then BAM, someone just sets you off.. Yeah that was tonight..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was already pissed when I showed up at work because I knew I had to work with Tray and Mike.. They've both been working for like 3 weeks and they've already managed to piss the shit out of me.. So I was already super irdable.. And then Seth starts.. He started to help this lady with a snake purchase and got her all the supplies and what not.. So he started to ring them up and heres basically what happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Seth, I'll take care of this, theres customers that need your help with fish.&lt;br /&gt;Seth: Well you can get them, I'm busy.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Seth that's your job, go help them.&lt;br /&gt;Seth: Not right now, when I'm finished with this:&lt;br /&gt;Me: SETH YOU ARE A &lt;b&gt;FISH BOY&lt;/b&gt;, GO HELP PEOPLE GET FISH!!&lt;br /&gt;Seth: MAUREEN STOP ACTING LIKE THE BOSS CUZ YOU"RE NOT..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got SO pissed off and theres a swinging door that opens and closes to go from in and out of the counter.. So I swung the door so hard it shattered the glass of the 30 gallon aquarium that he had gotten down for the lady buying the snake..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I actually AM the boss whenever Bryan or Jeff leaves the store&lt;br /&gt;2) Dont ever talk to me that way and expect me not to hold it against you&lt;br /&gt;3) You're lucky that tank was there or else that would have been your fucking face&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really dont get THAT violent often.. I can only think of 3 times in the last year that I've actually gotten to the point that I got to tonight.. The point that I thought I could kill who fucked with me.. That can't be healthy.. The other time was like a month ago when I corrected Tim for doing something wrong and he cursed me out for basically no reason and I thought I was going to bust his head wide open.. In times like these I stay in the back for like 45 mintues and try and pull myself together.. We ended up sending Seth home early because I swear I was gonna kill him.. I was sitting in the office talking to Jeffs girlfriend Aubrey and I was like "I swear i'm gonna rip my head off" and Seth walked by, thinking I was talking about him and was like "shut the fuck up maureen".. Once again I was about ready to jump all over his ass.. He is just such a little brat sometimes and to be a scrawny little 15 year old he sure has a lot of mouth.. He annoys just about everyone at the store, he works 2 days a week for 3 hours each and is pretty much worthless..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANYWAYS I calmed down and went back on the floor and by then it was almost closing time.. Mike and Tray were like super afraid of me and asking if I needed help with just about everything.. They were like "okk so now we know never to piss off Maureen"..</content>

    <content type="html">So last night was awesome.. Mike is our savior and the bestest friend ever! So it was me, Jill and her sister Jen, Dianas little sisiter Kelly, and Maureen.. Lauren met us there at around 7:45.. Mike and Scott told us to call them as soon as we got there so we call Mike and he comes to get us.. It was so good to see him! I just ran up and gave him this huge hug.. So he said Maureen and I were on the list with passes but he didnt know Lauren was coming because she didnt call him.. Way to go Lauren.. So anyways Mike took care of it and got eveyrhting straight.. So I figured it would be impossible to get all 6 of us backstage so we were just gonna split up and Maureen and Lauren and I were just going to do whatever and hang out with the Rufio boys. WELL because Mike is SO awesome he gets Jill, Kelly and Jen pases.. All 6 of us! He is definately deemed coolest ever on my list.. I also love how he introduced us to people as Maureen squared.. I havent heard that one in a while..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then we just hang out for a bit and talk with slut, I mean Scott.. Oh and because Scott, Shuan( SFS roadie) and I were discusing Sergio from E11's sex life  We missed Dont Look Down.. But we saw Autopiolt Off and they were really good.. Then Senses Suck came on and they were eh.. WTF is that gay typewriter dance that Buddy does? He's so lame.. But he gets 5 points back for shaving off that hideous mowhawk thing he had on his head last time.. It was funny because Clark and I were watching from the balcony and he started throwing paper down at Mike and he had a Red Bull in his hand so I was like "Why dont you pour it on Buddy" and he was like "Yeah if the fag would stand still, I would.." I would have LOVED to see that.. I actually took some pictures of them for Kelly.. I took some from the balcony, some from the stage, and some from in front.. I was just all over the place.. Oh yeah and Buddy actually gets another 5 points because he plugged the Northstar CD.. Minus 2 points though because he got the title wrong.. So Buddy redeemed himself by 8 points tonight..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then Rufio went on and they were awesome as usual.. I took pictures of them as well from all over and then just hung out with Maureen onsatge.. I kept meaning to ask Scott what is with the uber gay sunflower guitar strap he always uses.. I would have felt bad though cuz we were making fun of him the whole night.. Oh and ew earlier on in the night I had ran my fingers thourgh his hair and it was filled with shit.. I was like ewww what is that and he's like "It's pomade!! It works way better than gel and is better for your hair".. Um I dont think it is if you put the whole jar in it!! Anyways&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways after the show we all just hung out while they were packin up and then we were on out going down the alley way and Mike from Senses Fail walks up.. He's like "I've hung out with you life 4 times now or something" and I'm thinking in my head "um Ive met you like once" but whatever I just laughed.. He's a lot of fun and the onyl memeber of SF I actually like and it's not only because he was wearing a N* shirt tonight.. Dave walked by and I was like "hey lets have a conversation of how I'm not straightedge again" but he was so incredibly drunk.. Jill and Kelly proceeded to tell me that when they came out of their van a trail of beer cans fell out with them.. Awesome.. Anyways Mike and I went to go take a picture and he jumped in the back of us and flicked off the camera but of course in tha case of classic moments like that, my cameras battery died.. Awesome..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, We didnt get to hang out with Mike all that much because he was so busy but he took care of us which was awesome.. He says it'll be different at Warped Tour.. He's only gotta work for 30 mintues and the rest of it will be party time! I am so incredibly excited.. I just love him.. Anyways him and Maureen have a drinking score to settle, while Maureen and Scott have a pool battle to play.. Warped will be fun fucking times.. So anyways our goodbyes took like 20 mintues but we finally left and got home about 1am or so.. I was so incredibly tired and I have fallen asleep in all of my classes.. Except this one since I'm typing this up..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Side Notes:&lt;br /&gt;-There are too many Mikes on that tour..&lt;br /&gt;-There are too many alcoholics on that tour..&lt;br /&gt;- Rufio has fans that made really good cake &lt;br /&gt;- Never wear heels to a show.. EVER.. I almost fell about 40 times cuz the floors were slippery.. &lt;br /&gt;- I'm sorry that you didnt have a pass Laurren but maybe next time!!! The crowd wasnt that bad at all so stick it out bia!!&lt;br /&gt;- I LOVE MIKE AND MY CREW!!</content>

So tonight was Rufios PA show that we wanted to go to but couldnt because we didnt have a ride and we have class tomorow.. But anyways I called Mike, their tour manager about tomorows show and he said theyy're laoding in around 4 so to get there around then.. It'll be good times tomorow.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywyas some guy at work was a complete asshole to me and I dont feel like going into it but whatever.. I hate people..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My day ended up getting better cuz I just got off the phone with Jamie.. We talked for like a half hour and it really does seem like nothing has changed.. We'll hang out on wednesday as usual and I dunno, we're like back to normal it seems.. Only time will tell.. I'm making him the hottest mix tape though.. I want to give it to him before he goes to the UK with Bayside so I have to have it done before May 7.. The tape is so hot that I'm making myself a copy.. I'll post the track listing soon..</content>

    <content type="html">So last night I couldnt sleep.. I dont know why, but I was up until 4am.. I just had a bad feeling.. That bad feeling came today..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamie came and picked me up around 1 and we went out to lunch.. We sat for a long time and talked and everything was fine.. Then on the way home we started getting into a fight about something that happened 2 weeks ago.. By the time we pulled up to my house, I was in tears and it was all just a scene out of a movie.. Or out of an Early November song..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We sat outside of my house and in his car for an hour and talked, cried, and discussed what is to become of us.. The next few months are going to be extremely hard because we will both be so busy.. I have graduation, possibly college, working 2 jobs over the summer and he's got to go to the UK in 2 weeks to do the tour with Bayside while here in the states As Tall As Lions and Age Of Ruin both have new CDs coming out.. So we are aware of how busy we will be.. We already only see each other oncec a week as it is, so with everything thats coming up we'll be lucky if we see each other once ever 2-3 weeks.. Not a good relationship.. From day one Jamie has always said "we'll take this day by day and see how it goes" and i hate it.. But I know its a realistic thought.. So we basically "downgraded" our relationship and I'm not sure what that means.. Of course we still care about each other emensely but it's just so hard to be together right now.. We still both want to be together, but we have to see what happens over the next few months I guess..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cant even tell you how much I cried and how upset I was.. Everything just seemed like it was the end and felt so final although he assured me it wasnt at all.. I thought with Jamie things would be a lot different.. Its not as bad as dating a guy in a band because he'd actually be around, but not in this case.. It almost hurts worse becuase he IS around and I know he's just 15 short mintues away, but our busy schedules refuse us to be together.. The whole hour we're sitting in the car, the cherry blossom leaves are fluttering down from trees, kids are outside playing, its the calm before the storm, and it feels and looks like its just going to pour down and rain outside.. And the only thing that just kept playing in my mind was &lt;i&gt;Sunday Drive&lt;/i&gt; by the Early November..</content>

    <content type="html">So tonight work was awesome.. Another day of ignorant customers, annoying kids, and racists.. What a day.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This family comes in and starts to talk amongsts themselves about the Corgi we had and was wondering if it was a Pembroke.. I told them that it was in fact a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and they ignored me.. I first thought they maybe didnt hear me so I brushed it off.. Well then they started talking amongst themselves about whether or not they could play with the dog and I got their attention and told them I would be happy to take the puppy out for them and they BLATANTLY ignored me and asked Kevin who was standing next to me if they could see the dog.. Kevin already had a golden retriever in his hands and were busy with other customers but they still decided to be ignorant and ignore me anfd go to him instead.. Thanks you racists fucks..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that pissed me off is fucking kids.. Stupid litle 12 year olds trying to be 25.. Girl after girl that came into my store they were 13 or 14 trying to look 20.. Short skirts, high heels, cell phones.. What the fuck!!! I didnt have that shit when I was 14.. And That was just 4 short years ago..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm pissed off about not being able to go to Copeland tomorow and I wish that I could just drive myself.. but whatever.. I'm tired and I need to be out..</content>
