A Life SO Ordinary

Sunday, Sept. 22, 2002

So! Six days until my birthday! I'm so excited! I really am happy! Hopefully this birthday will be way better than the last two. For my 17th birthday none of my friends could do anything, so i just ended up going out with my family to Spaghetti Warehouse. Dont get me wrong, we had fun, but it was "family fun". Which is all good when its just me, shan, and mel. When you throw the parents in the mix they make us stop doing all the fun stuff.

My "Sweet 16" birthday was your basic Greek Tragedy mixed with a little bit of Shakespeare's as well! Blake had to stay home from school about a week and a half earlier (just enough time for the cold to make me it's greenhouse!) and then by the time his B-day rolls around he's just peachy keen! Then 2 days before my big day im throwing up, have a fever, and a gut wrenching cough! ("you sound like a very attractive guy Mr. Fetters"...SNL humor) Now to top that off Blake is in one of his little stages in which he likes to be mean to everyone and annoy them as much as possible (wait, he's still in that one!). So here i am in a mess of a cold and hes being a dick. Then since I'm sick and i don't feel like cake my family decides not to wait until I'm better but to go ahead and dig in (5 bucks goes to whoever guesses which of my little sibs wanted cake RIGHT NOW!). SO that was the b-day from hell.

This birthday I'm determined to make the best of it even though none of my friends are here in Tennessee with me. My dad's company picnic is on my b-day so thats what we are going to do. I'm gonna have fun and so is everyone else!!


Last night susan (my best friend in the whole world) decided that she was going to chat in Yahoo for the first time right when i was checking my email. I decided to click on her name to see if she was really chatting or just checking her own email. Luck was with me and we talked for the longest time! From like 9:30 to 12:00 in the morning! I'm gonna put our conversation on here simply because i can and it amuses me! Now kiddies this isnt for your eyes cuz susan and i talk about anything and everything! The beginning of our conversation basically consistd of us deciding where we would meet up this summer to see each other! We decided on Florida because her dad lives somewhere there. At points in the conversation Mel and her bud Jeff took over my computer so u'll have to try and figure that out... good luck!
susieb21884: you want to a long time?

susieb21884: or it is too long?

Stewartchic: bc we wouldnt be able to see eachother for awhile

susieb21884: yes

susieb21884: i keep saying no, and it sort of hurts his feelings...

susieb21884: that is why i wont make things official...you know the title... i am afraid he will pop the question if i do

susieb21884: but we are together

stewartchic: well he has to understand that u JUST got out of high school;

susieb21884: i know, i think he does

susieb21884: i hope so

susieb21884: thank goodness..i would just not know what to say

susieb21884: but he did ask me to come and meet his family this weekend

stewartchic: if he says anything about babies and marriage before u graduate Tell him to back off a little

susieb21884: i know

susieb21884: lol

susieb21884: i dont EVER want kids, he is well aware of that

stewartchic: im serious im afraid that u'll be blinded by his loving u and end up carrying him through out the rest of ur life

susieb21884: i hope not

stewartchic: i dont want to sound horrible, but look what happened to Jon and ur mom

susieb21884: like Erin

stewartchic: exactly

susieb21884: i know

susieb21884: or CJ

susieb21884: i know that i like him, but not love...not for a long time

susieb21884: it is also that i am flattered that someone likes me that much

susieb21884: he told me that he likes me so much that the no sex policy and oral sex policy dont bother him at all

susieb21884: and he lost his virginity when he was 14

susieb21884: still readin?

stewartchic: yes

susieb21884: he does not plead for sex at all

susieb21884: the first one besides joel that doesnt

stewartchic: im just worried he'll take advantage of u cuz ur young and still innocent

stewartchic: how old is he anyway

susieb21884: i know ..you are so cute..you worry so much

susieb21884: 21

stewartchic: im a mom through and through

susieb21884: i know

susieb21884:

susieb21884: i dont know, the one thing i really dont like is he is not educated

susieb21884: no college

stewartchic: thats what im saying

stewartchic: look and ur mom and jon

susieb21884: if we are going to be together for a long time, he will have to go to college...

stewartchic: and just FYI

susieb21884: i know i know....so sad

susieb21884: i know'

stewartchic: dont try and change a person

stewartchic: man, woman, or friend

susieb21884: but i am not my mom, thank goodness!! I am not dependant any one

susieb21884: i know

susieb21884: he wants to get a degree through devry

susieb21884: but i dont think he will actually go through with it

susieb21884: although he is still young

susieb21884: and just got out of armed forces

stewartchic: thats tru

susieb21884: i think if we are together for longer than a year or so he will go back

susieb21884: i hope so if we are

susieb21884: it also scares me he is so sexually experienced

susieb21884: although, we have messed around and he does know the meaning of NO

stewartchic: yea that can be intimidating

susieb21884: yeah

susieb21884: he is pretty good...you know kisser and all

susieb21884: i have NOT NOT NOT had sex with him by the way

stewartchic: good, and just for the record

susieb21884: and i wont and i told him that.... i felt that way and to not talk to me anymore if he did not understand

susieb21884: yeah

stewartchic: i wouldnt think any less of you if u ever do

susieb21884: it is somewhat scaryb/c i want to, but i know it is WRONG and too many RISKS so i refuse to do it, until marriage

susieb21884: ahh thanks

stewartchic: well just so u know

stewartchic: b/c i remember how erin treated you

susieb21884: you know actually i think less of Erin now, just because she wasnt even using birthcontrol or condoms or anything the first month they started having sex, and she is so proud of it you know

susieb21884: and she tries to convince others it is okay to have sex before marriage...because she did

susieb21884: even me!!!

susieb21884: and stacy and cj

stewartchic: she wants to make herself feel better

susieb21884: i know

susieb21884: we stopped talkng again

stewartchic: that girl needs to straighten out her priorities

susieb21884: because she got mad at me because I am not supportive of her and Steves plans of marriage eventually, i told her she was too young to be thinking about that adn needed to be her own person first, but she insists 17 in old enough to know what she wants, and i underestimate her love for him b/c i dont think teenagers are ready for those emotions adn also I went down there the other weekend and went out after t=we saw a movie with erin and her brother and stacy adn boyfriend, i went out with stacy and mike, we were planning that all day and i asked her to go with us and she was goign to but did not

stewartchic knows that The Truth is Out There

susieb21884: so she was mad at me about not going to her house afterwards and getting something to eat there rather than going out with stacy and mIke to benigans, we actually went down there to see Cj ( mike and I) and tehn after cj felt like going to sleep around 10 we went out and saw one hour phote

susieb21884: o

susieb21884: cj had just had surgery that day

stewartchic: hmmm

stewartchic: how did that go

stewartchic: i was meaning to ask u about that

susieb21884: she feels better now

susieb21884: but is upset atbout the 3 scars

susieb21884: i think it was worth it though

stewartchic: she'll be fine

susieb21884: i know

susieb21884: the good thing is she feels better now

stewartchic: just tell her to put sunscreen on it so it will blend in with her other skin

stewartchic: that what happened to my scar

stewartchic: i didnt put sunscreen on it

susieb21884: lol that is interesting
