Tribute #1, this ones for you...

Dont you HATE it when you work on something SO hard, and then delete it on accident?!? I DO!

Ok kids, heres how it works. I've decided to take a friend every week, or however often I feel like doing it, and make a tribute to them. Depending on who I choose, I will write about things we have done together, things I like about this person, things I need to tell them, or things that I wish could happen. Its my world, so its my rules. Anyway, on to tonights tribute....

Drum roll please....


ADDISON:

He likes the color red. Hes allergic to peanuts. He has a spectacular smile. He bought me a birthday present after knowing me for only a week. He invites me to family things. He loves to touch my face *and I pretend I hate it*. He drives an awesome jeep. He says the word "narly". When I am bratty to him, He forgives me before I even say sorry. he took me out to breakfast on my last day here before I went to college. He gets along SO well with my family. I get along SO well with his family. he makes fun of my toes. I love to pull his goatee (sp?) hair, and he lets me, even though it hurst a lot. He loves "smokey and the bandit". He does a great impression of will ferrel. He is photogenic. he worried about me today when i didnt call when i said I would. He extends his bedtime so he can hang out with me a little longer. He shaved off his mustache after i begged him to (or maybe because his mom did, but either way!). Hes going to be an AWESOME missionary. Hes athletic. He told me I was one of his best friends. I dont think I've ever cried in front of him, but Im not afraid to. He is the most complimentary friend I have, meaning he gives me the most compliments. He is honest. He says what he thinks. He shares what he knows. I've NEVER seen him lose his temper. He laughs just like Bert Reynolds sometimes. He took me shopping when it was snowy outside. He lets me dress him up when we go shopping. He tells me when I look cute, or when I don't. He is ALWAYS there when I need him, but if he doesnt answer his phone right away, he calls back right away. I didnt visit him on christmas like I said I would, and when I called him he had just got back from the ER, (he ate a peanut) and he STILL wasn't mad. He called me at least every two weeks when i was away at college. we won a flippin' blazers contest together. I love you Addison! Thanks for always being there for me.

Alright, thats all for tonight's tribute- not because I can't write anymore, but because Im about to fall asleep! Thanks for reading tonight...and tune in next week for tribute #2!

[Enter witty title here]

So yeah. Things with the roommates...I dont really know. I am definately not rooming with any of them next year, and I'm totally fine with their opinions and stuff about everything, but I dont understand why none of them NOT ONE didn't come to me and tell me what all the others were saying about me, when all five of us promised each other that if anything bothered any of us about someone else, we would tell them. I feel like I did my best to do that very thing with every single one of them..but I just didnt get that same respect, and I think I deserve that. They said that I was an attention hog, and so they would try extra hard for attention around guys...I didnt even notice that they were trying so hard, it didnt bother me at all, AND I didnt even notice that I was 'hogging' attention in the first place, so it would have been sort of nice for someone to tell me. So anyways, thats how I'm feeling right now...just a little bit of betrayl (spelling?!) and not a lot of unity with these girls. Do I still love them? Of course. They are probably the funnest girls I have ever had the chance to be with. I just wish that things would have ended differently. Maybe this is all my fault..and if it is, it definately wasn't intentional. I never ever thought "Hey you know what? Im feeling like I need extra attention today, so I think I'll go steal it from my best friends!" Why can't girls be more like guys? If a guy bugs another guy, hes not going to go tell all his guy friends...hes gonna talk to that guy, and tell him...even if he is rude about it, and they dont have a huge "heart felt" talk followed by tears and a hug (screw that), it GETS THE JOB DONE. That is my one and only respect to the male race. (just kidding guys) I feel like these are the only girl friends who I have ever really opened up to in talking about a fight or something. Usually in a situation like that, I would just stop hanging out with whoever I was fighting with, in fear of confrontation. But we actually talked, and I thought that would bring us a lot closer...I guess I was wrong. It will definately be a while till that happens again with any girl. I have these amazing trust issues that I have had basically my whole life, and I felt like those were going away. but now I feel them stronger than ever. This whole situation sort of makes me just want to close my emotions totally off and just be quiet in large crowds...I would rather do that then make someone feel inferior to me.
Anyway. I guess my point is that I am really going to try and be a better friend. To everyone and anyone who reads this, please tell me when I bother you.. I'm ready for it, and if I can't handle it...too bad. I really feel like I need this. I guess I'll just go to college with this state of mind- trying my best to be the best I can be toward other people, and see if things work out better than they did last year, because we all know it didnt go that great. I look forward to reading comments, hopfully contstructively critisizing me on ways that I could do better to be a friend. Thanks for reading tonight, Signing off, this is Melody Nelson.

confusious says:

Hey Guys, I dont know if anyone really reads this, but I thought I would write about my amazing night last night...addison and I went to a blazers game, and were chosen to be in one of the time out competitions!!! it was so awesome..I was really nervous right before, because we had to run up stairs, and those stairs are really scary..haha, but it all worked out fine, neither of us fell and we ROCKED THE HOUSE! We won a bowflex worth like $800...pretty sweet. We dont really know what we are going to do with it..addy wants it, but theres not really anywhere to put it in his house. Theres room here, but I wouldnt ever use it, lol. Anyways, I have an interview at bally's in like 40 minutes, so I gotta go! Thanks for reading today!

Thought college drama was over? Guess again...

Well well well....we thought the drama from college was over since melody is at home now? no no no no...wrong-o. Turns out that the girl out of all the girls that I hung out with that I felt like I could trust the most and spent the most of my time with was pretty much lying to me the whole time. I read her online journal tonight, and it was saying some pretty intensly hurtful things about me. Thats not really what hurts though...the worst part about it is that she didnt just tell me herself. She was the one that I missed the most, and the one that I was going to live with when I go back..but apparently she didnt feel the same way..though she told me she did. I dont know...I dont want to say anything hurtful about her, because in all reality, I really have nothing to say about her- I love her to death. Sure, there were little things about her that sometimes annoyed me, but when I look back on it all, I usually just laugh thinking about the awesome times we had together, making food in the kitchen and laughing in front of the computer screen at various things. I guess the main point is though, that she doesnt like me anymore...and it really sucks to feel like you have a good friend, just to find out that she doesnt want to be a good friend to you. My eyes are burning from crying...so I think Im gonna go. Thanks for reading.

WOW- its been a while!

Well its been QUITE a while hasn't it? I'm home now, quite a change since my last post eh? I have no job, it really sucks! i have an interview to work at quiznos soon though, so hopefully I'll get that, and if not, it looks like I'll just be doing random jobs through temperary agencies and stuff, so yeah. I'm really excited to get back to college and learn some more though, I have lately been thinking about how much I DONT know and want to know. Which makes me really grateful for the opportunity I have to go to college and learn the things that I'm supposed to know. Ya know? I'm just catching up with friends tonight, and it feels really good. I felt like updating everyone on my life. As for right now, I have no intention of getting a boyfriend, because Im not capable, and there really aren't any guys here to date. Other than that, I kind of would prefer a boyfriend! Anyways, that doesnt really matter, since Im not getting married for like 4 more years if all goes as planned :-D

Lets see here...wow...lol, I have a boring life! Alright, well, I guess thats all for tonight, so Im going to stop typing. Have a good one! Love ya'll!
