Early Birthday Celebration

Went to Wild Horse Saloon last night with my best friend and her fiance. Had a wonderful time! It was pretty packed. They had a huge dance floor and about three other floors. No one really knew how to line dance though. A little bummed I didn't go to more than one place but it was still awesome! Been talking to different men on this app and let me tell you, I am almost ready to give up. I feel as if I always end up talking to men first then when we have a conversation, I am the only person talking. I'm so awkward....

Updates

So, Tyler was ignoring me because he ended up dating someone/talking to someone. They're broken up now. Also met JT back in July. He acted all interested and everything and about a month ago, his texts are almost non existent. I think my life usually ends up with the person I am actually interested in will be interested and then drops me. I don't get it. I am not creepy to them or anything and then they ignore me...JT is very much someone that is sweet but he was super hurt this past Spring by his ex fiance. So I get that he doesn't want to jump in to something but how can he be flirty and talkative with me and then just stop talking to me? Don't get it. I am just seeing how things turn out with him for now. I may talk to him about how I feel...I hope that brave anyway. I may not. Who knows?

Meeting new people doesn't always work out

I haven't updated this thing in a while so here it goes. I recently joined this dating site called Tinder. Basically it shows you guys that are in your area and you decide if they're cute or interesting. If they match up with you, you can chat with them and possibly meet them. I started talking someone named Tyler. Ironically, my friend Jess, was trying to set us up before he popped up on my Tinder. Everything was going real cool, right? We even met up and he kept complimenting me and being super nice. I got his number and we texted some. Texted him a week ago, he didn't respond. I assumed he was busy seeing as how he's manager of GNC. Ended up texting him today and still have gotten no answer but yet, he has been online on Tinder...what? If you honestly don't even want a friendship with me, just say so. You don't have to go through the trouble of ignoring me, then. Also, it was super contradictory that he was all complimentary and wanted to hang afterward and then ignore me...wtf? People are dumb

Big Atomic and Awkward Moments

This was the lead singer of Big Atomic!


Saturday I went and hung out with my friend, Tasha. We went to this fair where many vendors were selling different items. We happened to notice that the band we saw this last weekend, Big Atomic, was the same band that played at JP's. Tasha and I were super crazy stoked to these guys again! So mostly, Tasha and I listened to them play music. Nice, right? Well, here is where the story gets weird. We met up with two other friends. Tasha had to do some rounds at the shelter and then meet up with us again. Matt, was deserted for a little bit so we went to Sonic and then we were gonna meet up with Tasha and his friend. Tasha met us and Matt's friend was late. So we were waiting outside contemplating where to go instead of JP's because it was super crowded. These two men came up to us and were talking to us. They asked if we had bongs for them. Of course we didn't. Then they tried t oget us into JP's and not pay a cover....fail. So  one of our friends commented on going to The Silver Bullet...it was nasty. It was dirty and the people are not clean. I really thought we would die. However, my friend Jess kidnapped me. So everyone was alive and well after we left.

Little Black Dress Party

I noticed last time I had written about doing my FAFSA. I was going to get it done and it is actually supposed to be due today. However, when my friend sent my  tax papers, the post office returned them to her saying she had the wrong zip code...they have a digital machine that can look up zip codes. Why they didn't use it, I have no clue. So my FAFSA is going to be late....I am rather sad. Last night I went with my friends, Tasha and Jess, to a black dress party. There was some drama that occurred with her bestie but even though she was upset him, I think he is a big enough person to forgive her. Other than that, we actually had a lot of fun. Everyone looked beautiful in their dresses and it was the first time I had gone out somewhere since Fall 2012. I know, I am an old person.

Slacking Off and Other Stories

Been slacking a little bit on doing my FAFSA, which is due next week. Oops. But good news, I hung with people from cook out and was totally invited by TJ, so I guess my little incident with Wes wasn't too bad! I actually got to do an octopus hold on him last night! It is such an awesome hold, the only problem is I am not flexible enough to actual hold him. Oh well, at least I still got to do it! Also, I got my hair done! It is in an undercut pixie. I am not too sure I will be able to fix it the way it is supposed to look but I will be seeing what styles I can make it in to. Anyway, not too much happening here so I will write more in this next week!

Time

So today, I have decided it is totally time for me to quit worrying. Stop worrying about if I will get a new job (I'll still keep looking, by the way), stop worrying about what others think of me, and most importantly STOP STRESSING. So far, this attitude has really helped me be more positive and I am gonna start getting crap done. I am also tired of trying to be someone I know I am not. I'll tell you who I am. I am Devon. I give BIG hugs, read comic books, think my life should be more adventurous than it really is, can't stand sports (minus volleyball and a few others), try to be sweet to everyone, not a big reader, smarter than I seem, and will do anything to help anyone. If you can't deal with me, then I don't give a crap and you can just leave.

Mud Run Adventures

So, recently last weekend, my friend Ashley and I participated in a Mud Run that was raising money for the first responders. Let me tell you, I was so stinking sore from this thing. Ashley, ended up losing both of her shoes after the first mud pit but she still finished the race! My friends are so awesome! They had 15 obstacles full of so much mud. It is a wonder not many people were hurt. There were so many mud slides and places where you got stuck. Met some new people yesterday for Memorial Day. They seemed really sweet. Unfortunately, the night got awkward after the last hour or two because my friend, Wes, ended up upsetting me. We ended up talking about one of guy friends that I have no clue he really cares about being my friend anymore. He sort of pulled his jerk card and Wes wasn't helping with discussing it with me...had to apologize to the host of the party last night because I didn't want him thinking my tweet I ended up posting was about him or his friends. Sooooo awkward. But talked with Wes again and everything was worked out. Talked with TJ and apologized for seeming to be in a bad mood at the end of the party and that was fine too. So everything worked out! PS: Here is a pic of me and Ashley at the Mud Run. If anyone tells you they're the Tag Team Champs, they're totally lying to you.

Rude People and Other Stories

Today has actually been a pretty nice day! I have been to three places I have never been to before. They were The Green Door Antique Shop, Jeremiah's, and lunch at restaurant I had never been to! All in all I say it has been a pretty eventful day! sadly, I have to go in at 7am-3pm tomorrow. My boss actually attempted to get me to work a double tomorrow but I sort of convinced him to let me decide on if I wanted to pull a double or not. I know, I am being a turd but I am not working when I don't have to. There are some super weird people at Etc Coffee today. As in there was a dude and a young woman who were obviously a couple but you would never know unless they were holding hands. They were on their stupid cell phones not talking to the other at all. If you're with the person you're dating, turn off your cell phone. Super rude if you don't. I know, my opinion. But still.

Interviews hurt me

Had my first phone interview ever...it wasn't terrible but I felt I kept repeating the same answer every single time. Sigh, it is over now at least and now I just have to wait. I feel as if so much has happened and I don't know how to react to them. Our mud run is Saturday and I am hopefully not gonna hurt myself. HOPEFULLY. I also got my bridesmaid dress. It looks terrible. The top part of it is too baggy and it is way too long to me (being 5'2, everything seems too long). Now I have to get it hemmed and what not. My sis is in Maryland. I miss her a lot. She said she had applied for a receptionist job at a doctor's office but hadn't heard back from them. She has only been up there for almost a month, it takes time.

Future plans

I keep looking and researching jobs all over the place. I have been looking at jobs in Savannah, Clarksville, and if an occasional decent job pops up around here. So far, nothing has really panned out for me. I am gonna save up and make a trip to stay a few days in Savannah looking for jobs. I know that my future isn't going to progress the way I hope it will if I just stay around this area.Then again, the fun is all about not knowing where we will be. It is a mystery. I have a photo session coming up that is inspired by the movie, "Up." It is a vintage session with A LOT of balloons. A little nervous considering I am a very awkward model. Still haven't found my shoes to wear with my dress. I know, such a minor.

Easy Week

Honestly don't have much to do this week, which is nice.I talked with one of my old besties the other day. She apologized for basically abandoning all of us. As in she hasn't been part of my life in years and she actually said she was sorry she wasn't in mine or our other friends' lives. It doesn't change the fact that we will not be the friends were once were but it does make me feel a lot better and it has taken away some anger I had. I had needed to hear her say she was sorry for so long. I need to call today about a job opportunity in Clarksville, TN. I got annoyed because I emailed both the supervisor from TN that contacted me and the supervisor at MSU I needed to fill out the form because supposedly, my two letters of recommendation weren't signed. To top it off, my old thrid grade supervising teacher did NOT respond to my email either when I asked her for a letter of recommendation.....I am seriously done. I get that people are busy sometimes but even just an email saying, "Hey, I will get this to you by such and such" would work. I just need to know they actually got my emails...DANG.

Ready for something new

 I am thinking I'm going to move out of Kentucky..I did get to talk with a principal at a school a friend works for and she told me that she would pretty much interview me if I passed the phone interview. I could actually have my first teaching job. Only problem is that if my state exams don't transfer over to TN, I have to take three more tests that are now $100 a piece. Sigh, life is too hard sometimes.  I just wish if I wasn't going to teach, I could still have a good paying job. (I know, unrealistic). My grandma had 2 strokes last month and has now lost her side vision. She can't drive anymore at all, which means I have to take her places. That's alright. I am really just glad she is okay. Been a little upset that I also found out my sister is moving away to Maryland. I really am gonna miss her. I will have to be sure to call her and see how things are up there. I know I am silly for being sad over it but my sis and I have always gotten along with each other. It will be hard not seeing her :(.

Happy birthday, Sara!

I wanted to say a happy birthday to my friend, Sara today! I miss her a lot! Hanging out in Paducah today for a bit before work. Still have been looking at different jobs and so far nothing has really popped up. I have also realized the older I get, the more I have less time for bull crap. I think I am finally to the point where I actually see people for who they really are now. Either that or I have just became a jerk in my old age. Don't know anymore sometimes. Try to be sweet and people just push me over anyway. I realize that life is gonna give me a pile of crap some days and one of friends once said, "If life gives you crap, use it for fertilizer". So I guess that is what I am about to do with the difficult and annoying days in my life.

Belly dance pics!

So I got to re-do my belly dance photos! I am so excited to see how the others turned out! The photographer I have been working with is super talented. I totally recommend going to her if you ever want your pictures done. She also did the pictures of my and my sis. I get to see the rest on Friday! :)

Nose piercing

So, Wednesday I got my nose pierced. I am so glad it wasn't painful and it will be my final piercing since my conch didn't really work out. Haven't really been up to much. I am going to try to go to a concert soon with one of my friends. Can't wait! Also, Monday is pay day! :) I need to do my exercises today. I didn't really do them for two days and am afraid I will be really super sore afterward. Oh well, I guess I will see. I have been having severe back pain and will go to see the chiropractor this week. Maybe it is just because I haven't been in such a while that it is hurting. I dunno.

Anger solves nothing.

Trying to learn that I need to just forgive people instead of letting their mistakes anger me. So many people I have trusted or thought I could trust, have really hurt me recently. I have been in situations today that have really frustrated me and almost made me lose my temper. Being angry solves nothing. I have such a short time to deal with disappointments and pain. Not saying I will never be disappointed or hurt because I know I will be. I just have to trust my friends and family to help me through it. So starting today, I am starting a new look on life. Today, I really do forgive those that have hurt me or angered me. I am looking past those problems and pain. I know that once I forget it, I will feel better.

Say you're sorry

So, recently I have been a bit cranky. I have been getting a cold and have essentially been failing to fight it off. I think this is something that has made me seem cranky and jerkish. For those that know me, know I am honestly not a bad person. However, this week I have just been stressed, had anger issues, and it seems as if my usual stress outlets haven't been helping me as much. Don't mean to be depressed or anything. Anyway, I wanted to say I was sorry to anyone who actually reads this that knows me. If I hurt your feelings by seeming to be mean or short, I really am sorry. I am very lucky to have friends that sill stick with me even when I am not in a good mood. I really am very thankful for you. I hope I haven't made you think that I am not nice a person, this week was just super bad. New week ahead and I am determined to make it a good week.

New dresses=happy Dev

So I went to Bella Marie's today and started my Spring shopping. Got a cute dress with patterns on it (that never happens). A bit disappointed that I wasn't able to get sweatpants as I had planned but oh well, maybe I honestly didn't need them. I am about to start cleaning out my car (help me). I know the poor thing needs it but I hate that I have to go outside in the cold. Posted a pic of the dress here on the blog. It is the purple and blue one.
