Oh yes. X's. As in "You can be in this club, but you aren't old enough to drink." I've never felt younger while still feeling old. Haha
I went Saturday night to a cafe in B'ham called Bottletree Cafe. Pretty much the best bar I've ever been too. Haha. I went with Jen, Nate, Thomas, and Will. They were doing this Found Footage Festival and Nate and Jen just had to see it. So we went. It was totally funny. What these two guys do is go around the country and find old VHS's in thrift stores and find the funny ones and cut and paste the funniest parts to make a collage of sorts. It's hilarious. Most of the tapes are of course from the 80's and the hair styles and clothing just crack me up.
Afterwards we went to WorkPlay to a dance party called Kids Got The Disco. There we met up with Derek, his cousins and gf, and Brittany. That's when the party started. We danced our little hearts out for what felt like forever.
We partied hard into the night. I didn't get home until 4:30. Yes, in the A.M. Whew! I was beat at church the next day. But! I didn't fall asleep once! I waited to crash till I got home. Haha.
It was super fun. I love those guys. Next time we go out tho, we're gonna hit the gay clubs. That way, us girls don't have to worry about creepers. LOL

And Life Goes On
This weekend was one of THE hardest weekends I have had in a while. But, I made it through!
I feel like I have spent a lot of my time boding on something, something that is out of my hands, and now that it's over and done with, I feel even more empty inside. I need something to do. So, I went and looked for a job. I got a couple of applications that I now need to fill out, and I have an interview on Saturday for this 2-days a week job. Hopefully, I'll be able to find something to fill my time with.
I'm reading this book on forgiveness by President Kimball. I read a chapter today about forgiving to be forgiven. I always thought of myself as someone who easily and readily forgave others. I've never really been on to dwell on past misgivings unless I was super offended or hurt. And even then, I wasn't angry long and I forgot quickly. And I'd like to think that this thing that has happened is behind me, though at night, when I'm not thinking, it still hurts. But.. I feel like I can't be at peace until the person I have wronged, the family I have wronged, forgives me. But something I learned from this book is that, it's not on ME if THEY hold a grudge. I did what was right. I have no hard feelings towards them. Towards him. I don't ever want to see him again, and when I think about it, my heart aches, but I only feel sadness of a friendship lost. No grudge. No hatred. I have done what is right, and now it is on them to do the same thing. I know asking their forgiveness right now is pointless and will only make things worse. But I hope someday down the road, years from now, they will find it in their hearts to forgive me. As for now, I have done what's right. I have forgiven, and now it's my turn to be forgiven. Not from them, but from THEM. The Ones that matter. And trust me, I'm working on it. It's going to be a very long road, but I'm prepared to take it because I know it's what I need to do.
I'm tired of wasting energy on something I can't control. I'm tired of crying silently at night. I'm just tired. Waiting for their forgiveness is wearing me out. I need to move on. I've been told that countless times. But, I think Sunday was the last straw for me. My second wake up call this year. So, with this book and THE book, I'll start to move on. What's done is done and I can't keep worrying about it.

Spring Break Twenty-Eleven
Well, even though I'm not technically in school, I still decided to do the Spring Break thing. My sister is in school, so that's my rationale.
It starts off with a trip to the beach.... At Oak Mnt State Park. It was such a nice day out, I couldn't help it. We went to the fake beach they have there to tan. It was so nice to feel the sun on my skin again. It'd been too long. Afterwards, we went shopping. Well, I didn't actually buy anything, but Sugoi did. It was fun. We wasted time until the movie started. We saw The Adjustment Bureau. It was freaking amazing. I love Matt Damon. He's such a good actor. Afterwards, it had started to pour. I'm glad we weren't at the "beach" still. Instead Sugoi and i went back to shopping. It was quite the adventure. We found shoes name "Skylar". That was pretty sweet. They were pointy black pumps with purple on the inside. Totally Skylar.
Monday night I went to the B'ham Stake Center to play volleyball, and ended up playing this dance game at Jen's house on the Kinect. It was actually pretty much amazing. I like it so much more than the Wii.
Tuesday was pretty exciting. I ran some errands for Mom, and then I went to the movies with Sugoi, again. We saw Red Riding Hood. Pretty great movie. Cathrine Hardwick, the director, did a pretty good job on this one. She didn't botch it like she did Twilight. On our way home, our car broke down. How exciting. We were stranded on the side of the 65 between Valleydale and Cahaba Valley. It was actually pretty scary. I was stuck there for like, three hours, waiting for the tow truck. By the time I got home, I smelled like smoke and my throat was closing up. EW. But, I went and watched Despicable Me with Kaitlyn Minor. That was fun. Until I got a text that had forever changed my life. But, that's was to private to speak about. On my way home, I was distracted by said text and wasn't really paying attention to my speed, and ended up getting pulled over. It wasn't anything bad. I was just going under the speed limit, and then sped up too fast. The cop, who was behind me, was just worried that I was drunk. LOL. Right. Not. He let me off with a warning to know where my insurance card is. Nice guy. Hot guy. Haha.
Wednesday I went horse back riding. That was amazing. Me, Kaitlyn Minor, Skylar, and Sugoi went to this horse farm in Childersburg that our friend Morgan works at. They were kind enough to let us hang out there for a while and ride their horses. I was the first to get on one, and.. It didn't go over too well. I got about five feet before I gave up. Haha. Then it was Kaitlyn's turn. She's a pro. Then Skylar. He made the horse look like a pony. Sugoi, she couldn't even get on the horse without falling over the side of it. Haha. It was pretty stinking funny. Then, it was my turn again. Goodness. I finally got the hang of it. I was a pro:) OK.. Maybe not. But I could finally get the horse to go and ride it successfully. That is, until the last time around when the horse, Sadie, tripped and stumbled a little bit. Which sent me falling forward, and caused me to lose my balance, and fall of the side. I twisted my leg while doing so, but, it's all better now. I definitely would have gotten back on, had we had the chance. But it was almost four-thirty and time for us to leave. But let me tell you, that was soo much fun.
Today, I don't know what I'll do.... The day is half over and I'm still in my pj's. Who knows what adventure awaits me today.. Probably none, but we'll see!!
