Time for your afternoon quickie:

I got a promotion yesterday! I don’t have to be on the phones anymore, which is sooo nice.

Just thought I’d let you all know!

A quick post for two very important things you all need to know about.

1. Something Corporate. August 21st, 2010. In The Venue.

2. Lady Gaga. March 19th, 2011. Energy Solutions Arena.

The End.

PS: BE THERE.

Wow. 2 months since I have updated. I’m so sorry for those of you out there reading this that actually really care about my life and what I have to say.

A lot has definitely happened since March.. got a job, quit school (just for now because of money), cut off my hair and became a blondie.. those are the biggest things that have happened I think. So let me fill you in:

I got a job at Convergys working for the Census Bureau. I’m an interviewer which basically means that I’ll be calling and getting calls from people to verify their information for the census. I went to training all last week and I’m pretty excited. Kinda nervous too because I’ve never worked in a call center before and we have all these specific goals and aspects we need to meet every week and we get graded on our calls and what not but we do get a 2 week trial period that we’ll get constructive criticism about what we’re doing right and wrong without penalty so that will be good. I start this Sunday and I’ll be working every day except Wednesdays and Fridays from 12-8:30 pm. So not too bad.. I’m looking forward to it, especially since I’m getting really good money for it. The only downside is that it’s not a permanent job. They only need people till August but they said that they will hire people who do really well to work for Convergys full time so that’s what I’m hoping to do.

As far as school goes.. who even knows? Haha. I had to quit because I had a trust fund paying for my schooling and it’s basically all used up. So I’m a bit SOL for the time being. I just need to figure out exactly what I want to do with it.. But for now, I’m pretty content with just working for a while and saving money and what not.

And for the hair? Here’s a picture:

See? Much shorter, much blonder. I cut off about 6 or 7 inches and went completely blonde. Ignore the goofy looking kid to the right of me, he’s a butthead.. but I love him : )

One other thing I need to add – two nights ago I went to one of the most amazing concerts ever!! Here’s a recap:

Opening band – Neon Trees. Apparently they’re from Provo and had a HUGE following there. They were pretty good but played WAYYYY too long for an opening band.

Next opening band – Mute Math. I LOVE them. My absolute FAVORITE song in the whole world is by them (unfortunately they didn’t play it..) and they’re just amazing. They put on a great show. It was cool cause the bassist would go over and play the drums with the drummer and then the drummer would go mess around and hit a beat on the piano and etc.. at the very end all of them except the guitarist were playing the drums together (that’s in the last picture). It was cool. PS: the song I love by them is called Control.

And last but DEFINTELY NOT least, the headlining band – 30 Seconds to Mars!! OH. MY. GOD. Sooooo amazing!!! Jared Leto. Right in front of my face. It was absolutely fantastic. They played every song I wanted them to play and their show was seriously awesome. And just fyi, the last picture is him crowd surfing. It’s not a very good picture but I had to post it because yes he did crowd surf and yes I did touch him!!! At one point in the show he went to the back stage and played a couple acoustic songs back there so the people in the back could see him and he decided to crowd surf his way up to the front stage and he finally got to where I was (which was about 3 or 4 rows from the front, give or take a few since we were all packed like sardines in there) and as you can see, he was trying to sit up straight so he reached out for a hand to keep his balance and whose hand does he grab?? That’s right – mine. He was holding my hand for a couple minutes (no joke) and looked right in my eyes and I was screaming into the mic with him while he was talking.. Oh god, I almost had a heart attack haha. Anyway, it was one of the best concerts I’ve been to and that’s that.

Well there you have it.. a pretty hefty update. Hopefully I’ll be able to update more often but who really knows?..

Ugghh.. hospitals. If you’ve ever been in one you know what I mean. Sure it’s not so bad when you aren’t the patient but when you are.. ugghh. And if you somehow like being in the hospital.. well.. you’re just weird.

So today I had this annoying pain on the right side of my stomach next to my hip bone for like a minute or two. Then about 10 minutes later my stomach EXPLODED in pain. Everything hurt. I could feel it all across my lower stomach and up into my ribs and in my back and down into my butt. I couldn’t move for about 20 minutes and was just laying on the floor in the fetal position. Finally I was able to move a bit and decided to go down to the emergency room because my boyfriend’s mom is a nurse and she was thinking that it was a kidney stone. So we got down there, got checked into a room and of course, my worst nightmare – I had to have an IV put in. I absolutely HATE needles but I gotta do what I gotta do. They took some blood samples and of course a pee sample (which is awesome) and when the results came back.. nothing. Everything was normal. So odds are that it’s not a kidney stone. Basically the options for what it is are: something with my appendix, something with my bladder, an ovarian cyst, pelvic inflammation, or just a random stomach pain that will go away. The doctor said that lots of times people get abdominal pain and you can’t ever figure out why. He also said that the only way to figure out if it’s any of the other things that I’ll have to have a CT scan. I decided not to do it right then because he said I could go home and see how it develops in 12-24 hours and if it doesn’t go away or get worse I could come back in and we can decide what should be done and if it goes away then I’m good to go. He also said that if it’s something more severe like my appendix or a cyst that since I came in right at the start of the pain that I should be okay for 24 hours, that nothing serious will happen.

So I came home, IV still in my arm and am still in pain. It’s definitely bearable but only when I’m laying down. If I sit up or move around it just hurts. I don’t know if I’ll need to go back in today but if I do hopefully it’s not too serious. I want just to know what it is and figure out what I need to do to fix it.

T-minus 9 hours until Jack’s Mannequin! I’m soooo excited I can’t even stand it! It’s going to be so amazing, you should all be jealous that you won’t be there.. : )

I’ve been trying to decide what songs I think they’re going to play and I think I’ve got it figured out.. I don’t know which ones they’ll open and finish with but here’s what I think they’ll play:

Holiday from Real, The Mixed Tape, Dark Blue, Rescued, Bruised, La La Lie, Miss Delaney, Kill the Messenger, I’m Ready, Crashin’, Swim, Suicide Blonde, The Resolution, Drop Out/The So Unknown, Hammers and Strings, Miss California. I’m pretty positive they’ll play at least most if not all of these. There’s a couple others that I think are possibilities – Into the Airwaves, We Were Made for Each Other/You Can Breathe, American Love, What Gets You Off, Bloodshot, The Lights and Buzz, Annie Use Your Telescope.

Basically, every song they have they might possibly play hahaha. Whatever they end up playing I’ll be happy. I just can’t wait, it needs to be 4:30 already so I can leave and head down there! They let people in at 6 so you can bet that I’ll be there early. I will be there at like 5 or 5:30 and if I’m not in front you can bet I’ll push my way up there without a doubt.

And don’t worry – I’ll post pictures sometime tomorrow.
