04:40 pm: My brother's house
This past weekend, my dad and I ventured to my brother's house for a last get together before I go off to school in August. We actually went to a water park on Jekyll Island, which was nice, but it was far from a "family get together" in my opinion. Sometimes, it doesn't even feel like we're related. By blood we are. But there's more to being related than just that. And we don't have it. I don't go to my family in times of emotional trouble. I don't turn to my dad for father-son talks. I don't ask my brother for help or assistance in school work. I pretty much fend for myself. I don't know. Most of the lack of communication stems from the way my father was raised. His parents were pretty strict and uncaring for him. I think that affected the way he cares for his own kids. Now, I'm just realizing how distant my family actually is. Oh well.

I came down with a fever last night. I haven't gotten a fever in over two years; I was a little shocked that I got sick because I don't get sick that easily. I'm ok now, I just have a headache. . . .

I'm still trying to occupy my time until next weekend . . .two more weeks until I get to move into my apartment! :) It's going to be so much fun!

05:46 pm: Work
I really enjoyed work today. I mean, although I had to put up with a somewhat grumpy old man for 30 minutes and push carts outside in 95 + heat, it was alright. So, this grumpy dude: he handed me $71 to pay for his order, which rang up to a total of $81.65. He was $11 short. Well, I slipped up with my fingers and typed in $600.00 as the total amount given to me. Well, I called my checkout supervisor over to me and she told me to hand him the money back (the $71.00) and then start a new transaction. This time, he didn't have to pay for his membership so his bill was $35 less. Well he accuses me of taking his money. For some idiotic reason, this man could not remember how much money he walked into the store with so he tells me that I still owe him $71. . . but I already gave it back to him. So I called Jimel, my checkout supervisor, over again and she explains to him the whole transaction. He still didn't get it. Jimel and I stood there for about 30 minutes explaining to this hald deaf man that we didn't owe him anything and that he didn't get jipped in the deal. He still didn't get it. So we called another COS over. Now, my line was closed and there were two managers and 2 other cashiers crowded around my register. Then, the man loosened up a little. He was like, "You know, $71 is not going to make me richer or poorer, but I am just going to incur the loss." We were like, "Sir, you're not incurring a loss." blah blah blah. Finally, Elaine, a COS who is fairly attractive, convinced the man that he was ok. In the end, the man left but the last thing he said to me was, "If you were a woman, I would of listened to you." I was like, "Jerk."


Anywho, I pushed carts for the last hour of my five hour shift. It was fun. Let's just say that the door greeters never complained about a lack of carts at the front door ;) jk Have a good day!

02:07 pm: Man, it sucks when you've been gone all week, surrounded by a bunch of your friends and then you come back to nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do today except go to work. But work is at 5 and it's 2 pm. What to do, what to do??? Anywho, I am going to get tested tomorrow for AIDS. I know I don't have anything but it's still good just to go every once in a while. That was one thing I did today. Other than that, I'm about to head to the library to apply to work for University housing. I need a job during the fall semester so I can keep on saving for my internship in Arkansas next summer if I decide to do that and other stuff. Yeah, so I g2g; I'll be back later tonight!

06:33 pm: My week!
It has been way too long since I've updated this thing. Hopefully I can get back in the swing of things because it's not like I have a real journal that I keep. Anyways, I had a LONG, very fun week! I went to Gainesville, Athens, Atlanta and McCaysville all in the duration of 6 days. Andy, Natalie and I drove to Gainesville, FL on Tuesday to visit Mr. Crister the sister and our other friends at UF. We didn't really do much; we played Putt Putt, went to the mall and then went to the mall again :) (There were a bunch of cute boys there so we didn't want to leave). Also, we went to a huge gay club Thursday night called UC. OMG it was packed: three stories of guys and gals everywhere. We all had a lot of fun. I think Andy, Natalie and I definitely want to go back to Gainesville when we have free time too. We still hate the Gators but the city definitely rocks more than tiny Athens. I got back to Athens Friday night and Andy and I visited Ms. Coffey at Barnes and Nobles. That girl is always studying, ALWAYS! But it pays off; she's a smart girl who's going to make it big in the future. Saturday morning, I left for the Couch at 6:30 am. I met all the Iota brothers and needless to say, they fit the nerdy stereotype that I thought they would fit. When we got to McCaysville (the rafting place), they were cracking Physics jokes and discussing entropy, speed and shit like that. Karrie and I were highly amused. Anywho, we ended up tubing for about an hour and a half. That night, we partied till 2 am and left Sunday morning at 11 am.

I'm so glad to be home though, really. I mean, I am excited about being on my own this year (except for my car insurance payments and my education), but it was tough basically living out of a car for a week. Anyways, I'll be back tomorrow. Everyone have a good night! :)

~ Jeff

04:03 am: So, it's been a month and it's 4 am- what the heck, I'll update this thing. I went to bed tonight around 12 and I just woke up because I couldn't sleep. I think a lot of my sleeplessness comes from my sunburn, especially the burn on my shoulder. I admit that I didn't put SPF anything on my body but I really didn't expect to get as burnt as I did. Well I guess when we go to Florida next week, it will sunbathing with a tshirt on for me! ;) Anywho, I'm really bored. My dad is in the shower as I type getting ready for work and I am at my computer waiting for my restless body to get limber.


I'm so ready to be living in my new apartment. It's going to kick butt, or at least I hope so. I think Youmi and I are a good pair. What do you think?

I'm gonna try to keep this thing updated more so I'll be back tomorrow, once I have a little more sleep under my belt :) Have a good night!

09:58 pm: Hey guys! Long time, no update! Well, that's what I'm here for now. . . to update this thing! I think it's been like a week or so and a lot has happened over the course of the past 6 or 7 days, but I don't exactly all that happened :) I'll try to give an interesting entry. . . .

Sam's has been working me like a dog. I worked an 8 hour shift today and the day before yesterday. It's fun; I mean, I love working at Sam's. It's just people can be really stupid, and when I'm not in the best of moods and stupid people come through my line, I just can't handle it. For example, this Chinese dude came throuh my line with an ass load of stuff hanging off the bed cart. Well, I didn't transfer the stuff, which of could of been my first mistake, but still. I rang everything up without knowing that "Extreme" was synonymous with "Gatorade." Well three hours later, he came back to the club, apparently yelling and screaming at the ladies in membership because the cashier at Register #13 overcharged him for two gatorades. He looked so vicious; I was like "Excuse me mister. Everyone makes mistakes." I said some other things, but my exact words will not be repeated in this entry.

Other than that, school is good. I have my midterm next Friday at 9 am. It shouldn't be that bad; it covers chapter 1-7. I actually kind of like the material, I mean, I've always wanted to learn about American government. I've just always thought it was too boring :) But it's cool.

As far as my love life, it sucks. Well, it doesn't. I like being single. But, I've realized I still have a "thing" for my friend John who works at Sam's as well. He's a manager over all of us cashiers. It's not big or anything, but I just want to get to know him some more. He's really cool, and that's why I want to hang out with him. BUt I'm so scared to be like, "John, let's hang out, watch a movie or something." I mean, I know he's not gay and because of that, I don't want to come accross as "Hey, you're cute" because I don't want to make him uncomfortable. Anyways, it will work itself out. I still have 2 and a half months before I go back to school. I'm sure we'll hang out before then :)

I'm off to bed for the night! Everyone sleep well! :)

04:14 pm: After a long day of work, I had an okay conversation with my brother about my apartment next year. For some reason, he has this premonition that Youmi and I were romantically involved. I told him that she was Japanese and he kept asking me questions about her citizenship; I know, WTF? I mean, he was like "Is she American?" I was like, "Yes Bryan. As far as I know, she's as American as I am." I mean, it was just ridiculous. He kept asking if she was my girlfriend, and if not, what would my girlfriend think about me living with another girl. It was just an amusing conversation b/c my brother knows nothing about me, and that's totally okay to me. I mean, my family doesn't have strong connections with each other. We just know enough to make it by; for example, we know each others' birthday, we spend holidays, etc. It's cool. No worries. Anyways, I'm off to taebo. Maybe I'll burn off my concerns. See ya!

06:52 pm: I needed a good laugh after that last entry. . .

06:38 pm: A multitude of emotions. . . .
Today has been very moving for me and I'm glad it has happened today because I needed something like this . . .

The day started off as usual (or as usual as the past couple of days). I was at work by 8 am, welcoming members as they check out. Hoping to pass the day by, I tried not to look at the clock to see when 1 was approaching but I couldn't help it. Time was going sooooo slow today! But it's ok. Between 8 and 1, I got a lot of interesting customers: stupid people, people with funky last names and ignorant people. Ok so stupid people: I got a bunch of people today who could not work the debit/credit card swiper. Now it doesn't take a genious to work one of these. This guy came up, I scanned his card, rank up his order and he STARED at the machine for about 20 seconds. I was thinking, "Are you ok? Because these machines aren't that attractive." Then he finally made a move and completed the transaction. SO then I got the people with funky last names; they're always a trip. I got Heim (her maiden name was Flaprostick, or something like that) and I got a bunch of German people. So now on to the big one: true dummies. This guy came through my line today with a cart load of items. Routinely, I said "How are you doing sir? Can I get your card please?" He quickly grabbed for it and gave it to me. After scanning it three times, his card came up deleted and in order for him to purchase his items, he had to renew his membership. Well he insisted on not renewing his membership (b/c it just had expired three days before today), so he proceeded with the following line: "You can take your stuff and stuff it!" I was like, "oooooh. No you just didn't." I really wasn't mad but it was really funny to see how people react in certain situations. And it wasn't even a bad situation; he just didn't want to fork up the money. Idiot.

Anyways, on to the afternoon. I got home today and continued reading The Da Vinci Code (really good!!). Then I got to fumbling through my desk drawer of pictures, ranging from 1999-2004. I found pictures of everything in that drawer: senior prom, boy scout trip to Philmont, high school band concerts, the Christmas after my niece was born, pictures of my ex girlfriend and I, my Eagle scout ceremony, my friends and I in high school, etc. I wasn't emotional until one certain picture laid atop all the others; it was a picture of my mom next to me in my baby seat when I was little. I don't know but it was just so good to see my mom's face again. I just couldn't stop crying. I kept looking through my mound of pictures and I found more pictures of her: me and her at prom, more baby pictures and pictures of my family and I at Christmas. I think I'm going to save all these because I really miss her. I wish she were here right now to see me, talk to me and hug me.

02:00 pm: Oh, and I bought The Davinci Code. I hope it's a good book!!

01:57 pm: So it's been two days at Sam's club and I love it. The people are cool, my schedule is flexible and the environment is easy going. I'm just really exciting about working there! Anywho, I feel really accomplished. I've gone into work three days now from 8-1 pm; yes, that's 8 in the morning!! But it's ok. I like it that way. I get done in time to do other errands. When I'm at work I make it a point to make every customer smile. It helps them out and me out :) Maybe I'm just enjoying it too much. . .

Now I've gotta run off and do some errands. It's great to work and make money; am I alone on this feeling??

01:56 pm: Score. . .

12:20 pm: That movie was SOOOO amazing!
So last night, I went to see Mean Girls at the movie theatre in Savannah with Megan and Amanda. All I can say is, "Shit! That movie was great!" Let me first describe my day in Savannah with Amanda.

We started off the day bright and early at 8 am. Amanda was late :) but it was ok. It gave my time for my dad to wash my car. I don't know why he wanted to but he kept insisting that he wash it, so I was like, "Ok, whatever." So Amanda got there and we left around 8:30. We were Savannah bound and we had all day to whatever we wanted to.

We got to Savannah and the first thing we did was. . . . . . . . find a parking space! I mean, it was so crowded down there and I didn't know the difference between a no-parking zone and a parking zone. So, I just parked. We immediately went to Bay Street and started walking around. Amanda was floored by the scenery; it was just beautiful down there. We went to eat at Tubby's; although we just had salads, it was a nice little lunch.

Then we went to Tybee Island. That was nice. Considering that I havent't been to a beach in over two years, it ws cool to reacquaint myself with the ocean. People around us must of thought Amanda and I were dating; we were playing with each other in the water and we sat on the rocks on the beach together and just talked for about an hour.

And the best part ever . . . .dinner and a movie! We went to the best place ever, Semolina's. And we saw Mean Girls! The night could of been better. We met up with Megan and hung around Savannah for the end of the night. Let me tell you; GO SEE MEAN GIRLS! You might think it is a chick flick and it kind of is, but it is so funny, you will die laughing. And if you're straight man or gay girl, most of the girls are hot and if you're a gay guy or straight girl, the guy is gorgeous! Therefore, there's a little something for everyone :) It was such a good day. . . .

I'm so glad that Amanda and I are best friends. I mean, we do almost everything together! Yesterday was blast and I had soooo much fun! Thank you Amanda for giving me a wonderful trip and I look forward to doing it again! :)

11:01 pm: I just got home and it feels wonderful! My room's cleaned, I've got laundry in the washer/dryer and I'm just chillin' like a villain. Boy, does it feel grand! Anywho, Amanda and I are heading to Savannah tomorrow for a day of fun! She wants to see Tybee Island and some of the hotspots around town. . .like I know where they are? But we're going to have fun: 8 am-12 am :) All day! I can't wait.

I'm going to bed goodnight.

Andy, did you get my phone message today?

02:50 pm: Today sucks
It sucks at times like these because I don't have a significant other to run to and cry because that's all I want to do right now. . .

I got an 83 on my Accounting final. So totally not what I needed to get in order to get an A. So unless my teacher feels sorry for me and she's really nice when she distributes grades, I'm stuck with a B in Accounting. I totally needed an A to boost my GPA. AHHHHHHH!

And on top of that, Ryan didn't call me. I know he's not obligated to call me but still. whatever. fuck relationships.

I hate today.

05:24 pm: SO I am totally confused. I have talked to two people today, one on the phone and in person, of which I didn't know who the hell they were. I figured out who one person was, but I still don't know how the second girl knows me. Let me tell you about it.

First off, I was at a little KKY luncheon this afternoon and Tess hands me the phone saying it was Jamie Hayne. I was like, "Who the heck is Jaime Hayne? I don't know who that is." So I got to talking to her and I completely played it off like she was my best friend. But I just had NO CLUE who it was. Then I figure out it was Jamie from breakfast Jaime :) Sorry Jame, it took me a moment.

Ok, here's the real shocker. I was walking down the steps by the SLC today and this girl saw me, stopped dead in her tracks, and was like "Jeff, hey." My initial thought was, "Who the hell are you?" Just to be nice, I continued to talk to her. But, I had absolutely NO IDEA who she was. Like she looked familiar but no name came to me. Oh well. At least I was nice :)

01:40 pm: So last night, I had a really good time at Boneshakers. Ok, so people's first thoughts are, "Nasty. Boneshakers is scandalous." Well it is unless you talk to someone there that you've been meaning to talk to since the beginning of the semester. . .

When I was a senior in high school, I came to UGA for UGA band camp. My friends and I were at lunch at Bolton dining hall and we noticed this really cute guy by the waffle machince. Well, I got my friends to go up to him and ask him if he has a boyfriend or a girlfriend. He replied by saying he had a boyfriend. That left me bewildered for a while and here I am today. . .

I registered for an 11 am Management class but I often go to the 3:30 lecture because it's a smaller, more studious inducing class. Everyday I would walk in and sit next to the guy who ironically enough looked exactly like this guy from Bolton. Well 3 months ago I had just seen him and before last night, I still only just see him. I was too scared to talk to him because I don't know, I'm afraid of rejection, I don't want him to be like, "Who the hell are you, stalker?"

But last night I noticed that when I was talking to Ed, Andy's friend, this guy from my Management class was standing behind Ed. I was like "Dude, who is that guy behind you?" Ed was like, "That's my roomate Ryan." I told Ed how I knew him and what I thought about him. Well, I left the bar scene and went to dance. Then I came back and Ryan and I initiate conversation about everything. It was so nice. I told him when I first saw/met him and I told him not to think I'm a stalker because I'm not. But he's cool, and I think he thought I was cool. . . Meanwhile, my friend Crister from UF starts talking to him, apparently about me. I don't know what he said but the next thing I know Crister is whispering in my ear to go dance with Ryan because Ryan wants me to. So I make my way over to Ryan and we start dancing. I was in a pretty 'just okay' mood then; I started dancing with Ryan and I immediately got extremely happy. Like, I had never felt so attracted to someone I hardly knew. Maybe because I had always wanted to meet him and I finally did 3 years after the first time I saw him. . that's why I felt so comfortable with him. But this guy was just amazing. We talked while we were on and off the dance floor and I told him that I just thought he was a good guy. I mean, I probably scared him a little bit but I was like, "I don't know if you have a boyfriend, but even if you do, I don't care. I just want to take you to lunch as a friend." I realize it's kinda corny but really want hang out with this guy. He gave me his number so I plan to call him today but I'm so scared: scared of rejection that is. Ryan told me several times last night to call him, that he wanted to have lunch with me, but I'm so scared that the alcohol is speaking for him. Who knows? I'm just going to shut up and call him later.

So the moral of the story is that Brandon and Stacy were making out on the couch watching the Cosby show. Nah, jk (love ya Stacy). Well I'm really interested in Ryan, I have been since I saw him in my Management class. Now I just have to make the first move. I got a little upset towards the latter end of the night because we weren't dancing together. But I didn't want to crowd him and all but he seems pretty passive and shy. So I'm thinking that's why he was a little timid. But to end this really long journal entry, I think Ryan is a great guy and I want to hang out with him. Unfortunately his a senior, graduating next Saturday and going to Jacksonville to work. But thank you to Natalie, Katie, Julie, Maggie, Andy, Crister, Sarah P., Ryan, Chris, Colleen and everyone else who made last night an enjoyable time! And, a big 'thank you' goes to Crister for talking to Ryan when I was too shy to do so. Thanks! :) Have a good day!

03:27 pm: I am so sleepy!
I had a blast at formal!

It all started when Amanda arrived in Athens on Friday night. She drove in from Augusta and as soon as she got here, we went to dinner. I took her to Big City Bread because Coffey took me there for my bday and it's so quaint (sp?). After dinner we met up with Seth, Liza and Alison downtown. Apparently there was a bike fest going on, so we were caught up in a crowd of smokers, drunks and homeless people. Who know?!? We then left that scene, went to a couple of package stores (that's places where you get alcohol, Alison) and started drinking. From here the story gets blurred because the alcohol hit in. All I know is that I ended up wearing pink shorts and a yellow shirt! It was interesting to say the least :) Amanda and I stumbled back to my room where we found Seth talking on the computer to who knows who. Amanda and I went to bed and that was the end of that night.

Ok. So Amanda woke up like at 7:30 in the morning ready to get her day started after going to bed at around 4 am. I was like, "No maam. Go back to sleep." I think I did and she just laid in bed. Who knows? Anywho, we eventually got up around 11 and got ready to go out. My short term memory loss is affecting me right now so I think we just went to the mall and hung around there for a while. We lost the car like everytime we went somewhere; we would get out of a store and get lost in the parking lot. That's how bad my memory is. Well then it was time to get ready for formal.

It only took us like an hour and a half to get ready. Geez. We looked so beautiful. And then we went to pick up Ms. Coffey and she looked gorgeous as well (It was just a car full of hot people!) We got to formal and it was an amazing time! But it was so hot in that little bitty room. I thought I was going to die! But it was ok! I think Amanda had a really good time; I did and it was a wonderful time being with all my bros and friends!

And then the afterparty kicked in at Dave's house. OH what fun I had! Although it was just me, Buckey, Amanda, Trevor (Sarah's date), Sarah and Dave, we had a blast. With rounds of drinks and cards on the table, it was a young night. Went to bed. Got up. Came home at 12 today (Sunday) and had lunch. Now I'm going to take a nap! Goodnight! :)
