In the past two years of finding myself and realizing just exactly who I am, I’ve had the most trouble with maintaining friendships. Either I refuse to be the person’s lapdog, refuse to change who I am to make others happy, not good enough for them, or just downright, don’t know what I did to them. Case in point… I have a friend who moved here to go to school a year ago. We hang out when she first comes, and I’m thinking cool, I have someone to hang out with and such. School begins, work happens, she gets a boyfriend, and we basically stop hanging out. Alright, that’s normal, but then she just kind of disappears. I leave messages on myspace, facebook, even text and no response but she’s logged into her accounts, talked to other people, etc, so I’m like you know what… fuck it. *deletes friend*

Sometimes I wonder if I’m really that big of a bitch. I mean, I know I’m a bitch and I speak my mind, but I have people around me who like me for who I am, why can’t those who claim to be my friends? What purpose is ignoring me going to do? What is hiding something from me going to do when I’m going to find out about it? Am I really THAT bad of a person? (more…)

Yeah, so I wasn’t really into this season of “American Idol” but I’m sitting here listening to David Cook’s song and I really like it. I liked him better than that little Gayken wannabe anyway.

So what’s up with me today? I finished the planner and my internship is now over! I’m happy but kind of sad at the same time. I really enjoyed designing it and creating it. And apparently I did such a good job I’m getting paid even more than I should have, even though I don’t think I should, I’m not going to argue. I still owe the dentist a little bit of money so that will take care of that, plus leave me enough to buy my book for class this summer, if I need one.

Other than that, I’ve got the Tony Stewart love/lust on full blast today for some reason. He cracked me up on Trackside tonight. I’m hoping, if there’s anyway possible, I can go to the Pepsi, I mean, Coke Zero 400, in Daytona, but I’m not betting on it. I brought it up to my Mom tonight and she’s like “I know, I was already thinking about it,” but we’ll see. That’s when my class will be winding down and I’ll be preparing for the paper to start up.

Ah Smoke, you rock my world. Kick their ass on Sunday!

Sorry for the lack of updates all the way around, here, on MC, everywhere…. the planner I’ve been working on is due at the printer tomorrow and we’re trying to finish it up today, so I was here at the office until late late late last night (technically this morning if you really want to say that) and was back here at 9 am… I’m about to go take a nap on the sofa in the office and wait to see if I need to make anymore changes.

If this were to happen… I think I would poke my eyes out with a fork or steel rod.

#42-Juan Pablo Montoya requested a face-to-face meeting with his boss and got it the day before the Indianapolis 500, when owner Chip Ganassi flew to North Carolina to talk with his emotional driver. The early morning meeting Saturday let Montoya express his frustrations over the race team’s direction, including the firing of crew chief Jimmy Elledge, a move Montoya vehemently opposed. “I told him everything I was thinking and how it was,” said Montoya, who finished 30th. “The hope of the meeting is that everything that has happened turns into results. I need to run better. That’s what will calm me down.” Meanwhile, there is speculation that Joe Gibbs Racing may make a run at Montoya to fill the seat Tony Stewart is expected to leave at the end of the season.

Yes, apparently that is what on the hood of Tony Stewart’s test car today in Pocono, according to Miss Amy from Amy’s Bad Groove. How awesome is that? So awesome in fact, I’m jealous of Tony and his paint scheme.

Today was an, eh, day I guess you could say. I gave the final draft of the planner for them to look over, went and napped for four hours on a sofa, went to work and packed up things in the student life office, went and ate at Pizza Hut with my Mom and then came home. I’m tired. I’m going tomorrow to talk to my counselor, which should be interesting, since I haven’t been to the counseling center since that rape article came back, so… tickle me nervous. They might all glare at me in there. (more…)

I remember hearing about Joey Logano the first time in 2004 and in 2005 when I went to Joe Gibbs Racing fro the first time, Logano was there, sitting out front with Aric Amirola signing autographs for fans. Everybody talked about how this kid was the next Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart, but I had never seen him race.

When he started racing in the Hooter’s Pro Cup Series in the Southern Division, he won at South Georgia Motorsports Park where I go frequently and I was unable to attend it. Why? I forget now, but I know that I was devastated when I found out that he had actually won it.

I saw Logano again the next fall at Joe Gibbs Racing, still signing autographs for fans who were waiting around in long lines for Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin. People walked right by him, not really noticing him just like they do a lot of up and coming drivers when the “star” is nearby. (more…)

Ouch! NASCAR handed down penalties today for the primary cars of #66 (driven by Scott Riggs) and #70 (Johnny Sauter) of Haas CNC Racing.

The cars were found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A, better known as “actions detrimental to stock car racing,” and 20-3.1.3A, also known as “wing mounting locations were not as specified). These sections are part of the mysterious NASCAR Spring Cup Series Rule book.

Both crew chiefs and the car chiefs for the two Chevrolets, Bootie Barker and Derick Jennings (#66) and Dave Skog and Thomas Harring (#70), have been suspended for the next six NASCAR Spring Cup Series events and suspended from NASCAR until July 9. They are also placed on probation until Dec. 31.

Crew Chiefs Barker and Skog have also been fined $100,000 a piece. (more…)

… I should be at home, yet somehow I’m not. I’m at the office, working on this planner because I’m giving them a rough final draft in the morning at nine. I’m tired. I’ve been over here since noon, worked from 2:30 to 5:30 and now I’m up here finishing this up.

I want to say hey to all the new visitors! Sorry I’m not more talkative today, it’s been stressful!
