Moving Out!

19 may be a little young in some people's view, but when I'm financially stable and in a committed relationship with my 24 year old boyfriend still living at home with his parents, it is a perfect time to get out own place. We've done exactly that! The move in date is May 22nd just before the NASCAR race that Sunday that we're going to! That weekend is going to be eventful. We first tried going to an apartment complex in Matthews near the Aboretum, but that fell through. Thankfully that same day we found another place. It is cheaper, but beautiful and much closer to work and school than the other place. Charlie and I are thrilled. We've already started painting our furniture for our place and planning what we have to buy and how to decorate. My parents are supportive and of course are openminded. I am glad we both come from very supportive families with good backgrounds and morals. Our parents love us and always want the best for us.

Yankees

As an avid Yankee fan, you stick by your team through their good times and bad. Red Sox fans know this drill. Unfortunately, now Yankee fans have become accustomed to Yankee losses. The Yankees are on a losing streak so far this season and it's aweful! The game last night against the Red Sox was sad. They were tied 1-1 almost throughout the entire game, then gave aways 3 runs to the Sox! One run was a runner stealing home! I give props to the guy for that daring move, especially because he was abnormally fast, but still, as a Yankees fan, I was mad.
Back in 2000, a Red Sox movie was released only in the Boston area movie theatre called "We Still Believe". It was a documentary movie filming behind the scenes at the games and at fan's houses showing the pessimistic views of Red Sox fans. If the Yankees don't improve soon, maybe they'll produce a similar movie! What I do hope happens is that when A-rod comes back when his knee is healed is that we automatically start winning. He may just be the winning factor of that team, since he's not here and the rest of the guys cannot pull of a win.
No matter what though, I love my Yankees and always will. Coming from Boston was definitely a challenge having all Red Sox fans as friends, but in the south now, it's been a litle easier on us. I actually work with a few people who like the Yankees too! I even got my boyfriend to watch the games with me and choose the Yankees as his team in the MLB video game THE SHOW.

Hello Again

I haven't blogged in a really long time and I apologize for that. My work schedule and then trying to fit in homework time is to blame. I work almost forty hours a week and I'm still a full-time student, and no, I can't quit my job to have more time for school work because I'm moving out next month and I need as much money as I can get before then. My life has not changed much since I last blogged. Besides getting another raise at work, attending a few concerts and getting ready to move out, my life is still as its always been.
This past weekend I went to a Twiztid concert with my boyfriend. They are a two-man white, rap group in Pyschopathic Records. I know the name is harsh, but it's excelent music! The show was exciting and blew my mind! Their music is not like the rap you see on television. It is a little more hardcore and dark, but not scary! Before the show we went to a signing at Manifest in Charlotte. One of the guys, monoxide, said that my boyfriend has "the finest girl" there. Haha. I thought that was funny. I'm sure Charlie was flattered.
A couple weekends before that, we went to Atlanta for a Kottonmouth Kings concert. The room was filled with potheads, so that was entertaining, but the music was still fun! Upbeat, loud, and relevant to today, anyone can enjoy that kind of music! I had never been to Atlanta before, so that was an adventure. It was quite ghetto, but our hotel was nice. This coming weekend we're going back to Atlanta for the Braves game against Astros!
