Tribe has fixed it self, bout time. So a bit of an update. Sad bit first. Just a few weeks ago when it seemed like a bunch of random murders were happening at once I was starting to think that Im fortunate enough not to have something like that happen to my friends or family. Well I thought too soon because my uncle(great uncle actually) was shot and killed at a bar during a robbery. 4 people were killed in a marrero bar that was always a friendly neighborhood bar. My mawmaw used to date one of the other people that were killed. On a brighter note I have a very part time job working for a small but growing catering company. I help a bit in the kitchen for about 2 days a week(if needed) and work at the farmers market which I love. Come find me at the Gretna market. I do like working again even though its not much. School has kinda made me anti social which all the studying(oh yea, Im so done with school, for now) I have also taken on a few other fun activites recently and meeting new people. I forgot how great it feels to be out and about. It has been a big boost in my mood lately. I will be graduating in Dec(20th) and I will be looking for another job along with my part time job so we will see how that goes. My niece suggested I go work at hooters with her... hehe riiight. Tho she made alot of money in her previous job being a shot girl... hmmm.. heh

Update

Sooo... just alittle journal update. Im at the end of my last semester. Tomorrow is my populations final and tuesday I have to turn in my FINAL final, wee! This semester was ridiculously easy and short. Im going to be free till I graduate in dec. Then I'll be job huntin'. I dont have anyideas yet where I wanna work. Its really just working till I decide to go back to school(few things in mind). Sooo Im gonna try to get back into things that Ive been too busy before for. I actually started this semester with swing dancing classes and tribal class. Im looking into taking the 5 week beginners yoga class. Ive tried yoga before in the past twice and didnt really get into it to go back but Im trying again with a friend. Capoeira looks interesting too. Im weak. Well my upper body is weak. trying to improve on that. New additions to the family: My niece had a baby(trent) and we have a new(unexpected) puppy, Nola. Peaches my oldest doggie(14 yrs) died. Right now: I have exams. My mom has diverticulosis and is in alot of pain and weak. She was in bed alot(very unlike her) the last few days but she looks alot better today(stayed up all day). Taking tribal bellydance classes which I love(Thanks Tanya and Ali :) ) Ive been feeling way too crafty when I should be focusing on school. I made the mistake of visiting craftster.org and a papier mache website and buying a jewelry making magazine. Visited this awesome beadstore uptown and Im not even that much into making jewelry. My computer is on an infinite rebooting loop. Im gonna be depressed if I lose all my pictures and videos. I'll be posting a few random pics from random events soon.

Scared, excited, nervous..So many feelings. I should be graduating in the summer. It kinda scares me cause well... Ive ALWAYS been in school. Minus one semester when I lived in florida on a college program. I dont have any specific plans. I dont do well with specific plans. I have an idea and an open mind. Im doing 6 classes this semester and 6 next semester. I dont like it much. I want my mornings again. I want to be able to ride my bike through the french quarter every morning again. But no... my clock doesnt want to wake up that early.. BLAH. YES IM FEELING VERY BLAH!

Well instead of leaving a depressing post (that last one) to sit on my front page, I guess I'll update. Btw that last post was when my doggie died. We think Mango had a stroke and just couldnt eat properly. Vet tried everything he could. Ok on to the happier stuff... Well I should be graduating summer 08 so an end is in sight! Im a zoo volunteer. Havent actually started the real stuff yet but will. I have 2 new pet ratties finally :D havent named them yet. Still working on a second name. I kinda have a traditional name thing. I name my dogs after fruits (well cept for laveau) and my rats based on months I got them. ex. Junie(june) and julia(july). Im naming one desi. BTW they are boys. Any ideas. If I cant think of one Im gonna name one after a reindeer... I know... Im running out of ideas... hmmph.. Lifes been a tad but dull lately but hopfully that will change soon since Im out of school for a bit. I go post some pics...

..le sigh..

I wanna cry.. but I feel like crap when I cry. I get headaches. I get into this 'pity me' mode. and it solves nothing... Maybe if I could scream instead... no. People will hear... and ask and I'd probably tell them.. but they didnt really know him. Maybe I could.. go ride my bike... I think I'll do that. But if only I could get out of this chair. This sucks... I miss my teddy bear..

annamarie84 — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 18:44:50 GMT

I swear.. There must be a stalk me sign on my back! If you have something to tell me, tell me! Dont follow me from a distance or hide behind trees. I dont bite anymore and Im up to date on my shots.

Oh happy days..

Yaie! poi spinners and circus freaks are coming out of the woodwork in new orleans. One of the reasons I wanted to go to SF was to learn and watch. I was asking on LJ if anybody was into circus like performing arts and/or poi. I got more replies than I expected but no one with experience. Just people saying they would be interested and someone saying that we need something like that in new orleans. We used to have a circus school... I went to their website and it hasnt been updated for a long time and wont reply to my emails(this was all pre-K). List of things I wanna learn: Contact juggling (im actually playing around with this by myself, its very soothing) POI ( I dont care if its fire or not, I was learning from a dvd but cant find it) Stilts ( A friend from my wdwcp is learning to do stilts for shows and it looks like so much fun) Nothing to do with circus arts but other things I want to learn are(so if anyone knows whose teaching...): Stained glass (someones actually teaching me this right now) woodwork And(egh) I cant think the name for it.. metal work? I like to build stuff.

Just rambling on and on...

annamarie84 — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 03:49:49 GMT

Why do people like to make me feel like a freak cause I tell them I dont drink. I tell people I dont drink cause when I do its very little. The only people I drink with are people I know, trust, and wont bug me if I say I have enough after one. Drinking never made me feel good, just nervous and sick. Most of the time I cant finish one or two drinks without tensing up. I did have a nice magarita with my cousin who also doesnt drink that much. I must say it was one of the very few drinks I liked the taste of. Then she bought me a daiquri (sp?) the next day.. couldnt finish it and hated the taste. Sometimes I feel like Im missing out... I think thats why my roomie left me. I wouldnt go out bar hopping with her and her friends(we were 18-19ish at the time BTW). I havent heard from her since... and Ive known her since PREschool. .

Chill...

Hmm I dont see why everyone is making such a big fuss about tribe. I mean I can still use it to post and chat. Ive gotten so much from tribe that Im not gonna leave because they changed their wallpaper and rearranged some furniture. I dont see why they had to change it but my panties arent in a bunch about it. Anywho, My mom had surgery on her back. All went well but she in a bit of pain. She totally out of it and incoherent because of the pain meds. Shes staying at the hospital for a few more days.

annamarie84 — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 17:21:52 GMT

Laveau is 10 weeks old today and has been walking on a leash for about a week. I dont want to take her on too long walks yet. We walk around the neighborhood and meet new people. Something besides laveau... Im going back to school in January and I decided that Im not gonna major in HRT but rather minor in it. Im gonna major in general studies. Mommys back is still bothering her and shes probably gonna have to go into surgery. I hope this works. Its been hurting her for almost a year now and off and on for a few years. This summer, seems so far away, I may be going to SF but its gonna probably be a family trip. I would love to go by myself (with a friend or 2) but I dont see that happening right now. It all depends on moms back.

Well laveau and I went to zotz yesterday and she was very good, so that means I may start getting out of the house?! Actually a few days ago I REALLY wanted to go to the FQ for a quickie. I wanted to see if I could find some bells to hang on my door. So I actually left laveau home for an hour*gasp* alone. She was takin a nap and she sleeps in her crate(closed) so all was good but I was still abit nervous. Didnt find what i wanted (kruz wasnt open and they had what I wanted) but found some stuff at the antique and bead store worth going back for. Im feeling particularly adventurous(had to look up the spelling for that) and creative(wanted to buy out the bead store) lately. Maybe Im sick of staying home all the time. Well this weekend(sunday) Im going to gretna fest, I need to find a puppy sitter.

annamarie84 — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 03:17:57 GMT

I havent been getting out much lately. Thing is I have a really little puppy thats been keeping me busy. Im hoping in 2-3 weeks she will be all legs and use to her leash so I can start walking her. The places we do go(sound cafe, ok thats about it) I usually hold her. I havent been to the quarter or bike riding since I got her, but i dont mind a whole lot, shes a sweetie pie. I cant bring her to doggie parks right now cause she doesnt have all her shots but as soon as she does Im sending her on alot of doggie dates. Which reminds me that I need to have her spade.

WEEE!

annamarie84 — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 20:21:28 GMT

I got a new bike and it was FREE! WHOO HOO!

Ok the two dont mix very well and I got a headache. But the coffee (cc's ameratto almond) was good. Well Im in a better mood than I was yesterday so I'll leave an update. My junie died and mean people like to make me feel guilty about it. All the beautiful trees around my house(in belle chasse) are now gone. Now my beautiful yard that I grew up in looks like a desert. *Sigh* I hate complaining cause we barely got any damage to our house, but still, I miss my yard. Ok must think happy thoughts. My journal entries are nothing but me complaing. And Im generally a happy person. So Happy Thoughts: Cafe du Monde is opening up wednesday and I wanna go either wednesday or thursday. Saints almost won. (yes, this is a happy thought) People on tribe are nice.

annamarie84 — Wed, 12 Oct 2005 17:32:18 GMT

Ah I need to go back to my apt. I need to walk through the french quarter again. Im so happy that the cafe across the street is opening up again. I hope zotz opens and if its true that someones buying zotz from the orginal owners I hope it stays the same. I just want to see some normalcy again. I want to go to the dragons den again. I wanna say hi to my friend at the artist market. I want to buy some incense and room decor at kruz. 2 words... mmmm.... monas.... gahhhh.... ok 3 words if you consider them that. I wonder if the dark entry is gonna reopen. I need to get a bike. Mine was stolen about a year ago. I loved that bike. I wanna drive through uptown again. Ive never made it to that snowball stand. Heres my photo album if anyone is interested. http://annamarie84-walkingtour.buzznet.com

Well here we go again, maybe

annamarie84 — Thu, 22 Sep 2005 18:25:15 GMT

Im once again at my mawmaws using her computer. Gah its hard to type with nails. Well i'll give an update. I rode out the storm just fine and dandy with a few pillows over my head. I wish i had something like headphones to block out the sound of the wind. we brought our dogs inside, we went out into the storm(when it wasnt that bad yet) to go get our 3 dogs. We couldnt find them. Finally found them hiding in our green house (which is now flat and in pieces-it was small and flemsy anyway). During the storm i was just waiting for windows to blow in but none did. A few of our shutters fell off. the strom was still blowing when the sun came up. It feels so much better when u can see the storm. I saw that our back neighbors pool house was gone and alot of his hurricane proof roof shingles were gone. Well most of that day after the storm was really just looking at the damage which wasnt that much in comparison. Tar on our roof peeled off. 2 parts of our fence were down. pool had a tree branch in it that busted the lining and the water ran out. trees everywhere. Just alittle standing water. That night i couldnt sleep so i stayed in my car listening to the radio. Thats when i heard about what happened in NO. It was horrifying! You had people calling the radio station BEGGING for help. That they were on there roof with the water rising. This actually went on for a few days. the 2 radio people actually broke down a few times. News casters on TV were also crying. We cooked, slept, listened to the radio, played cards outside. ther was anything else but that a clean up we could do and it was so hot in the house. We used alot of OFF. when we could travel a bit more mom went to the parish office to complain that no one was checking up on us our collecting our garbage(other streets had police and garbage service). well from that day on we had garbage service and military checking up on us. We gave them coffee and made friends with the military. Oh and military was everywhere. Other than the military belle chasse looked deserted. Nothing was open. No cars on th street. popeyes, becnels(fruit stand), and balestras looked pretty bad. Well now popeyes is opening soon. we have power(no internet/cable), we went out to eat the other day. About 40-50% of places are open. Most major places like walmart and savacenter are open. One of sisters house has a bit of damage. chemney broke, causing alot of rain water in the house and a part of the ceiling to fall. The apt in new orleans(bywater)is great. 4 blocks from the flood water. My neighbors is taking care of my rats. and it wasnt looted. So all in all it was interesting, ate alot of MREs, and i was very lucky. tomorrow Im going to the doc to see about a bug bite that dad says looks infected. ekk. Email me at AMB585 at hotmail. even if ya don't know me. cause im gonna be bored for awhile and dont have that many people around here to talk to. We were the only people who didnt move out for the storm and another one is coming....

annamarie84 — Sun, 28 Aug 2005 16:50:37 GMT

Yes we are riding out the storm. Im staying in a very strong house.
