This is going to be a "what I did yesterday and what's going on soon" blog entry. I'll have to come up with a more creative one later.

Yesterday I got to hang out with Ricky, Melissa, and Wolf for the first time in a long time. We all went to Goodwill looking for Halloween costumes. I went in there not having a clue about what I wanted to be and came out with a full blown costume. And I'm about $30 poorer. But that's also because of the curse-ed impulse buying. I have a problem, I admit it. If I see something I like, chances are I'll probably buy it... if it's reasonably priced within my budget. Like, I wouldn't go buy a motorcycle if I thought one I saw was cool. Psh.
So after that I went to open gym and got thrown around a little bit and looked at a Bride magazine with my friend Taryn. I like looking at magazines like that, but then again I don't. Sometimes they make me sad. I say, screw the marriage, just give me the honeymoon. I don't even need a guy. After that we all went to Trudy's and I almost couldn't drive home. After 2 drinks. Yes everyone, my name is Alexis, and I am a lightweight. *sigh* Glad I got that one out in the open. hehe.
So today my mom and my sister are coming to visit me in Austin! I think this is a first time occurrence. My parents have visited me before, but they have never stayed over and usually my dad has always come as well. He had to work this weekend so he didn't get to come. He sounded a little pouty on the phone, but he said he would come visit me separately sometime. So I'm all excited about being able to show my family more of Austin. Even though we'll probably end up just seeing a movie, I just love the idea that I don't have to deal with the stupid chance of seeing someone I don't want to when I go home. Yeah y'all know what I'm talking about. (well some of you maybe)
Anyway, tis all for now. I'm gonna go eat and I really gotta clean before my mom gets in. Talkie to you later.

Man I guess my horoscope was right. I was going to have a crappy day...but I guess it wasn't all that crappy. It was more productive than I expected, even though I'm not near done where I want to be.
Anyway, I've been on a lucky streak of getting bummers with potential guy mates. Friend OR more. For instance, a guy that I was considering liking was called to California to learn Arabic before he gets sent to Iraq in February. I know what you're thinking....Alexis? Wants to date someone in the military? Yeah it is crazy and uncharacteristic, but I think this is situational. I guess military really isn't everything about a person. The other bummer was finding out that a guy I've been getting to know has a girlfriend. They always do! I knew there was some reason I didn't want to blatantly hit on him! All great catches seem to always have already been caught. I guess that's just how it works. I'd still like to be his friend though, he's a real cool guy. I just hate how I build things up in my head and then they turn out all wrong. *sigh* oh well, back to the search and drawing board.

Holy crap y'all!! I totally thought no one cared about my poor bloggie or even me! I thought y'all weren't commenting! The YACCS comment thingy is broken! Man, I'm glad y'all really do care....I thought i was posting for nothing!

*tear* i love you guys *wink*

Check this out...it's one of those free online astrology forture teller thingys and it's pretty eery...here, let me know what you think:

Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
You appear gentle and soft, and you act rather reserved with others until you know them well and feel it is safe to be open with them. You have a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and are deeply attached to the past: your heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is known and safe can be very painful and difficult for you. You tend to cling and hold on to people, memories, possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to you


Section 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
You have powerful emotional attachments to the past, your family, your childhood, those places you associate with safety and security and your beginnings. Maintaining a connection with your roots and heritage and keeping family bonds strong are very important to you. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, you tend to cling to whatever is dear to you, be it person, familiar place, or cherished possession
