You and your most recent ex run into each other you:
I stop and ask myself, "why is that mother fucker still alive??" (haha allen, your answer just made me laugh in hysterics because i could see you doing that)
...my response? hmm, first, define ex, that would be a good start :p
Are you happy with the way life is going?
other than the job situation, the family being a little bonkers, the medicine causing extreme weight gain...everything is fabulous :) i love my life because i love the people in my life
What did you do today?
lucky me, i woke up at 5 a.m. but that's because i'm excited about pictures today with peter
How are you feeling?
fine thanks for asking :)
What time did you wake up this morning?
damn you survey...5 in the a.m. is not a good look or time for me, especially when peter and mollie dog are still sound asleep
Last person to text you?
peter yesterday
What's your biggest concern right now?
hmmm, wednesday's interview/meeting because it could literally change everything else that i have concerns about...
Are you keeping a secret right now?
yeah, no, secrets aren't really fun for me but i keep other peoples' secrets quite well
Is there anyone you want to come see you?
wh yes, yes...all my favorite HESA kids...ashley...michelle...haily baby...laura
Do you miss the way things used to be?
the only things i miss about the past are mostly family related...i miss and will alwaysalways miss my grandaddy...i miss the relationship my mom and i had prior to her accident and surgeries...
What are your plans for the weekend?
let's see...probably taking a nap later :p picture time with pete pete at 10, cleaning our condo, calling christa belle to get details about the bridesmaids dress i need to buy, taking mollie on a long walk since the weather is going to be beautiful!
What was the last reason why you were mad?
hmmm, mad is not an emotion i like to feel, i get upset more than anything...but mad? i'm sure it was work related
Can you recall the last time you sincerely liked someone a lot?
aww it's like we're thirteen :p and yes, yes i can...every moment of every day since october 12th :)
Are you slowly drifting away from someone?
nah i'm good
Do you think relationships are ever worth it?
Well of course sometimes they're worth it. You just gotta go through hell until you finally get to the one that is. (allen, you are so wise!)
my answer - yes, yes they are :) this is the first time it's ever been worth it for me
The last person you shared a bed/couch with mean anything to you?
yup :) if by anything you mean everything...
Your most recent ex says he/she hates you, you say?
the feeling is mutual? nah that's too mean for me to say, but of all the negative emotions and actions he's capable of, i don't think hatred is one of them.
Have you ever fallen asleep on someone?
every single night :)
What are you listening to?
ah, "listening to" makes me wanna cringe a bit, but i'm watching 'the bachelor' from monday night...i heart dvr.
What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
water
Is there a big difference between "i love you" and "luv ya"?
well again, i'm not thirteen so i'm not big on the 'luv ya' but i do say love ya on occasion because it seems girly to the girls :) but i'm more of an "i love you" or "love you" type...
Are you the same person as you were at the beginning of 2009?
well let me check...considering it's been a month and a half i'm gonna go with yes
What posters do you have on your wall?
no posters, but back in the day (read: middle school) my walls were covered with 98 degress and Grant Hill posters/memorabilia
What are you doing Friday night?
that's a week from now :p
Name what you did yesterday?
worked, counted the minutes until 4:00 so i could come home, waited for peter to come home, went to dinner, watched family guy, fell asleep.
What are you doing right now?
Wasting precious minutes of my life filling out these surveys written by incredibly stupid teenagers (allen = hilarious. the end)

Where did you get the shirt you're wearing?
umm, it's just a tank top from target
Have you ever wanted to be a teacher?
no, i'm not exactly the most kid-friendly person and i have a lack of patience so me being a teacher isn't really in anyone's best interest
Have any regrets?
regrets are silly and vaguely pointless because if it's a regret, that makes it sound like it's not changeable
Where were you 1 hour ago?
sleeping. that was nice...this is now.
Has anyone ever told you that they like you more than as a friend?
has anyone ever told you that i can't stand when people incorrectly use singular/plural nouns?
Is cheating ever okay?
absolutely not. what also isn't alright? getting another girl pregnant while you are supposedly dating someone else, that's super fun. or finding out that your so-called boyfriend was dating two other girls (at least) besides you. also super fun.
Who is the last person you rode in a car with?
peter
What are you looking forward to?
picture time!!
Do you still have pictures of you & your ex?
silly silly, there's a reason some people from your past don't make it to your future and there's no need for reminders of old mistakes :p
What do most people call you?
pick a name: ashley, baby girl, ashley pie, ashley jo, crockett, crockstar, shley, a c rocket
If you could pick one person to disappear from the planet, who would it be?
only one? damn. jk jk...umm, i'm sure everyone has a purpose and point for being on this earth, i just don't need certain folks in my life :)

next on the "25 random things about me" bandwagon...
well, since emily, beth, mia and lisa (amongst many others) jumped on the "25 random things" bandwagon...alas, i shall also put in my random 25 cents (ha, i find myself amusing). oh and side note: due to being sick and having my schedule thrown off, tomorrow's update will actually occur for next week (februar 5th) if you are keeping tabs on my weight loss blogosphere :p
25 random things about moi - enjoy :)
1. umm, well, i'm kind of an open book so anything you need to or want to know, you probably already do so this is gonna be kinda tough. i like sharing information and stories with people and find that i sometimes tell more than i need to about myself, oops. does that count as one?
2. i like when my water bottle matches my outfit and/or other accessories, although i've recently tried to get out of this trend. i had a full cabinet of water bottles and had to make some room, so i threw out probably 15 or so water bottles.
3. i get super annoyed when people incorrectly use your/you're but i get the MOST frustrated when people use singular and plural words incorrectly. for example, "every one should follow their dreams." no kids, no. bad bad bad. don't do it. "every one should follow HIS or HER dreams." yes, then you would get a gold star.
4. most people know this by now but i danced on stage with vanilla ice circa 2006. it was pretty badass, not gonna lie. ha.
5. i love stars (as in the shape). love them. all three of my tattoos have stars involved somehow. my momma gave me a pretty necklace with stars from tiffanys when i graduated from grad school.
6. i also love martini glasses, decorate with martini glasses and think they are adorable; however, i don't really enjoy drinking martinis.
7. it's super easy to make me cry sometimes. call it being a girl or being overly sensitive but man, my tear ducts work all too well...
8. i absolutely love virginia tech. love it love it love it. and yes, i was there in april 2007 when everything happened and it was the most traumatizing experience of my life. i lost three friends/former students...i still have nightmares about the entire situation.
9. i type how i talk and while i complain about people using incorrect grammar, i still enjoy typing how i talk - which isn't using incorrect grammar, mainly really really bad sentence structure, ha.
10. i looooooooooove quotes and song lyrics and use them whenever possible. i have a random document on my computer of quotes - if you have any favorite quotes, i'd love to add them to my list!
11. i'm a total concert groupie. outdoor country concerts are the best. sundresses and cowboy boots, mojitos, making new friends, singing at the top of your lungs to your favorite artists performing live...ah, the life.
12. duke basketball was my first favorite sport/team all because i was mildly obsessed with grant hill. i still love my bluedevils! coach k = amazing. i have a goal to make it down to cameron indoor stadium for a game at some point in my life. and duh, i looooooove hokie football! i probably like sports more than most people and i'm totally fine with that.
13. by the time i was 22 i had two degrees, my first 'grown-up' job and bought a condo. i finished a four year degree in three years. i sometimes question if this was a good decision. i also question if going to graduate school was a good decision, although i love my friends that i made and wouldn't miss out of those bonds for anything!
14. i love perfume and can't stand when people wear gross perfume or cologne. my favorites include body by victoria, j'adore by dior, the one by dolce and gabbana and be delicious by dkny; however, i only own the first two. i'm working on being able to afford the one when i have some extra money (hahaha funny thought).
15. i'm very uncomfortable with my body and my weight. unfortunately, this has been an ongoing battle since i was about four years old. i've tried many diets, had a breast reduction surgery to lessen the load on my back, various gym memberships, etc. and nothing seems to be successful long-term.
16. i miss my grandaddy every single day. i never met my so-called biological father, so for me, my grandfather was the person i looked to as a father-figure. my mother married my stepdad when i was nine and i love him as a father, too, but my grandaddy and i had a very special bond. some girls are daddy's girls, i'm a grandaddy's girl...
17. i've had the same best friend since fifth grade. i still remember our "best friends" necklace and it was in the shape of a phone, ha.
18. i never thought i'd be in a happy, healthy, 'grown-up' relationship with a man because i'd never had a positive relationship experience. that all changed when i started dating peter and together we've shown each other what it means to truly be love and be loved in return.
19. i'm ready to settle down, get married and start a family. yes, ladies and gentlemen, i actually do want a child someday. gross, i know. i think when i temporarily thought the worst case scenario situation last year when having some tests down as well as falling in love have changed my views on children. i'm terrified of raising a child, but at the same time, i think i have a few motherly qualities - just a few.
20. speaking of motherly qualities, i love to take care of people. it's kinda my thing. i like sending cards, or making cookies, or showing up to sporting events to cheer on my friends. i like feeling mildly needed or wanted and i also just like doing random, nice things for people for no reason.
21. i am borderline obsessed with my dog. mollie will be four on march 5th! she's fun and silly and i know i will be absolutely devestated when something happens to her down the road.
22. i have always been a britney spears fan, even when she was going through her phases of not doing so well. i'm ridiculously excited to see her in concert in march!!!!!
23. some children wanted to be doctors, or teachers...i wanted to work at espn even as a child. somehow i ended up in student affairs and i'm definitely ready for a career change. i am ready for financial security, being able to save money and job satisfaction.
24. i threw shot and discuss in high school and still wish i had continued on and tried to throw in college. i wasn't the greatest but i think i could have worked hard and threw for the women's team at tech. i miss throwing and sometimes want to throw just for the fun. weird, i know.
25. i have an issue with people's teeth. they must be perfect or at least mildly straight. it probably comes from the fact that i spent three and a half years dealing with braces and all of the fun things associated with that process, including: headgear, a pallet spreader, rubber bands, etc.

first blog of randomness
well hello to the blogging world! i don't know what kept me from subscribing and writing down my random thoughts this long...probably my pseudo-usage of my myspace blog way back when.
so, what's on my mind? well that's a very loaded question.
first off, let me say that yes, i do know how to use proper punctuation and spelling aka capitalization; however, i don't feel it necessary to use upper-case letters in my blog. call me crazy. BUT, grammar is a necessary evil and will be used like a champ. also, i purposely spell 'ok' as ohkay. last, i tend to type how i talk. it happens.
whew, glad to get that out of the way.
job searching sucks. it's not fun. updating your resume, emailing it out, applications, interviews...and best of all, rejection. i'm so completely over it. i'm crossing my fingers that by the end of january i'll have some sort of direction/something figured out because may 1st (when my contract is up) will be here oh so soon...sigh.
although i'm terrified and worried about the "what if" in the job world, i've also never been happier - if that makes any sense. i'm completely, hopelessy, ridiculously in love and it is the best, most wonderful and healthiest relationship.
not only do i have the most fabulous boyfriend, i have a great, sincere friend in his sister! nicole has been the sweetest person ever and it's been great getting to know her online and then meeting her in person over christmas.
speaking of wonderful friends, i love mine. i'm such a lucky girl because my friends are so amazing. i don't know what i did to deserve them, but they love me and pick me up when i'm down and i couldn't imagine my life without them. i'm missing ashley something terrible, but she's supposed to come visit in january.
i miss blacksburg. i told you this was a random collection of thoughts. i miss my grad school friends, i miss my crazy life, i miss christa and lisa and our weirdness and of course, i miss alesha and practically living with her my last year in blacksburg. i miss our special bond, not just as friends but as family and so wish we could recreate "blacksburg" somewhere.
on a serious note, i often wonder what was the point - other than the experience - of going to college and graduate school. i have two degrees, a job i don't like, no luck finding a new one and nearly fifty grand in student loan debt. don't get me wrong, i would gladly pay the price for the five years i spent in blacksburg for undergrad and grad school and i'm so very proud of my degrees, but i just wonder when the work will start to pay off...or will it? and speaking of paying off, will i ever been student loan debt free?
and of course, no blog or writing from me would be complete without some sort of quote...
so the title of my blog is a britney spears song (i mean, really, would you expect anything less), "overprotected."
since i know y'all are dying to know the rest of the lyrics:
"say hello to the girl that i am,
you're gonna have to see through my perspective
i need to make mistakes just to learn who i am
and i don't wanna be so damn protected..."
oh and the chorus of the song is very fitting for where i am career wise:
"...what am i to do with me life?
(you will find it out don't worry)
how am i supposed to know what's right?
(you just gotta do it your way)..."
*love and hugs*
