i love that christin and i sit and talk to each other on the internet like at 3 random times throughout the day and then call each other at night lol. We talk about such random stuff. Shes such a dork. Oh yeah, I win.

I turned in my stuff to move out at the semester. I kinda lied lol. I said my mom was having her surgery like later, not that she had it a week ago. Oh well, they said the school is lenient on medical reasons. I might have already posted that, dont remember.

I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE PUT STICKERS ON YOUR WINDSHIELD AT UTC. I LOVE HOW THEY STICK TOO. THATS JUST GREAT FOR CARS.

Great news!

So i went home this weekend and my phone was about to die the WHOLE time, so i turned it off for a while. Well i turned it on today and christin had left me a voicemail. So i call her and she was like yeah u might wanna keep your phone on for future reference. And i was like why? And she was like just keep it on. I was like OK whose gonna call me!?!?! She said apparently that on saturday night she was hanging out with Joey and in a joking way she said he was ugly and he goes well u dated me and she goes, Cortney STILL thinks your hott! And he was like haha really? And he was like give me her number! So she gave it to him! haha!!! I love Christin Walker!

Oh yeah im pretty sure we got 2 meals tonight since my mom came home. Goll we have so much food and were suppose to get a meal every other day. SO MUCH FOOD. Im stuffed and i brought some back with me. Woo, no more food for me.

Went to Homecoming last night. It wasn't near as sad as i thought it was gonna be. Sad, but not TOO sad. There were alot of people there too. We lost 35-0 haha but i dont think i ever watched the game really. I was too busy talking to people and walking around. Man my feet hurt too. I sat during the presentation of the seniors but that was it. Haha Megan W was there! I was so excited cause i didnt know she was coming. Shes so funny. I got free stuff at the alumni tent too lol.

As always, there was DRAMA. I havent seen these people since graduation and there was such drama. Goll i somehow got involved in it. Well u could say i was dragged into it. Oh well. Thats Boyd Buchanan. I got to see everyone i wanted except Coach Brown! Man! I wanted to talk to him but i never saw him anywhere. Im so bored. Im suppose to go see a movie tonight with Ashley. Oh and i cant move out at the end of the semester. Poo.

Dad picked me up today and we went to eat at Jenkins in East Ridge. It was SO good cause ive been starved for vegetables. Tuna is running through my veins. I dont know if i'll eat it again for a while after this year. Then we went and saw my mom at the hospital. She had her knee replaced on wednesday. She looked good. Much better than when she had her hip done. That tore me to pieces. Shes gonna come home tomorrow instead of saturday which is good. I also wont be here which also good cause when she came home with her hip done, omword i bawled like a baby cause she was in so much pain. It took all the energy she had to get from the car to the couch and some of u know that the couch is not far from the backdoor. Well then jingle jumped up on her hip and she screamed bloody murder. Not a good time. She was cheerful though, not out of it too bad. Her eyes were slowly shutting though while we were there. So we decided to let her rest.

Homecoming is tomorrow! YAY! Im so excited to go back to school and see everyone. I miss it. I was thinking about that this week. About how much I miss Homecoming week and spending the night with everyone and taking 50000 million pictures. Its so sad whenever I go to a game this year cause im gone. My times over. Im not included in the 'school' anymore. I'd give my right arm to go back to Boyd. Its heaven compared to the hell im living in now. Goll this place is just covered inside and out with sin. I like UTC but not the people in it. I dont think i realized how bad people are until I got here. I guess i forgot about being at brown for a year.

I was talking to my parents about redecorating my room and using my beach stuff from my dorm and we somehow got on the topic of me moving home next semester if its possible but i dont think it is. I signed a 9 month lease but we pay per semester and i havent paid yet. So im gonna go see if i can come home sooner. Goll that would be great. Oh yeah im pretty sure Sarah hasnt gone to ONE class this week. She was also gonna go back to Nashville friday but she randomly said she had to go last night. She also brought a 25 year old divorcee with a child home with her on sunday. Apparently they took a bath together. He also bought her and taylor all kinds of alcohol, which they also got drunk off of. So he has a very loud speaking voice anyway but being drunk made it even louder and the walls are paper thin here. So about 1:30 tuesday morning while i was laying in bed cause i couldnt sleep, i finally screamed through the door, "WILL U SHUT UP" It got real quiet lol. If they didnt shut up, i was honestly gonna march out the door over to the RA's room and tell her that there was a 25 year old guy staying with us who was drunk and bought alcohol for underage girls. His ass would be back home to Nashville quick. But it didnt come to that. These people are messed up. Im a nun/angel compared to these girls. Ive never done half the stuff they do. Please pray for them and me.

Oh my dad told me that my uncle got a call from Iraq yesterday. Andrew's tank drove over a bomb. All we know is that hes going to a hospital in Germany. We dont know how he is or what happened or anything. Hes so close to coming home too. He was suppose to come home in November. Please pray that hes ok and that he'll be honorably discharged and sent home sooner. Man that would be great.

My first date!

Now let me just start off by saying in all honesty i didnt expect last night to happen. Christin had told me all week that she was mad at Chris for some stuff and that he probably wasnt gonna go saturday which meant Joey might not go, so i was like oh well, no date tonight lol. But lo and behold Christin called me and was like I have good news for u! And she said everything is back on cause Chris called me! WOO! I was so excited! So I got ready and christin came over and we were suppose to meet them at Bayside at 7:15 and we got there and waited. Oh yeah and we waited some more. They got there at like 7:40 or so. Christin was so EXCITED. Thats an understatement. When she saw Chris' mustang pull in she FLIPPED OUT. She was practically screaming cause she honestly didnt think they were gonna show lol. Well then me and Christin got to CRAM ourselves into the back of his mustang, which let me tell u is smaller than mine. I didnt think that was possible but it is. My head was touching the roof. So me and Christin have this whole night planned. Nothing happened that we wanted. We wanted to go to Mellow Mushroom for dinner and to the bijou to see red eye and we ended up going to Brick Oven and no movie at all. I'll get to that in a minute.

So we get out to go out and Joey helps us out of the back and i make him hold my purse and he was like, is this a good color for me? it was very funny. So we go and sit down. Well Christin made sure she sat next to Chris, obviously since it was a date and Joey sat by me. Random i know. So the whole night Joey and Chris played off of each other on everything that they said or did. They bothered the waiter for a while about the tea. Talked about their salads when they got them. Really random stuff lol. But I know they both picked on Christin all night. And as much as I hate to admit it, it was funny. I was already nervous and when im nervous I laugh at EVERYTHING hysterically. So Chris was really funny which made me laugh, I was nervous with Joey there, so i laughed and then they both picked on christin which made me laugh even more. I had to hold it in. I must of been smiling like a fool. But whats worse is that I kinda joined in the mocking of Christin which i shouldnt have. But anyway they thought it was so funny and they were like "yeah shes one of us now!" and gave me a high five. Made me very happy lol, sorry Christin :)

So then we ended up driving around to different movie theatres over by the mall and the boys decided we were gonna see Emily Rose at 10. Well me and Christin did not wanna see that at all and she kept complaining about it. Well then we randomly went to Walmrt to kill time. So we go in there and Chris and Joey walk in different directions for whatever reason and Christin follows Chris and I go find Joey and i was like hey i couldnt find anyone lol. And i finally got to talk to him alone for like 10 mins. It was good. He's very easy to talk to, i thought it might be awkward but it wasnt. Oh yeah and then Chris and Christin find us and all the sudden I hear, "Chris Whitaker!" and u will never believe in your right mind who it was. It was Morgan. Oh yes it was Morgan. Christin walked over and hugged her and started talking to her and i just completely ignored her. I didnt even acknowledge she was there. Christin told me Morgan goes, "Cortney hates me doesnt she?" and christin smiled and said yes she does lol. And then she gave some bull**** excuse that she tried to call me. OKAY YEAH SHE CALLED ME. I WOULD HAVE SEEN HER NAME ON MY PHONE THEN WOULDNT I? GOLL IT MADE ME SO MAD.

Well then she and her posse left. Oh yeah her hair was boy short with the whole underneath bleached. It looked horrible.

So then we drove back to the movie and on the way i told Christin what it was about and she was all excited to see it then and then the boys were like nah we dont wanna see it. So we went back to church and they dropped us off and they admired my car for a while since Chris has a mustang lol. And Chris shook my hand lol and Joey gave me a hug! A HUGE HUG. Like he completely covered me with his arms. It was great. He didnt hug Christin either! I was like wha? im special tonight lol. Im pretty sure i thanked Christin about 700000000 times for last night cause she got everything together lol. THANKS AGAIN! Great first date i must say.

It's a first for me.

Well i finally at 18 years old have my first semi-date. I dont know why i keep calling it a date cause its not. Well it kinda is. See what i mean? Haha its kinda funny too. I had told Christin numerous times that Joey was so hott (its her ex boyfriend). So she was talking to him the other day and was randomly like hey u wanna go out with Cortney sometime lol? So me and Joey and Christin and Chris Whitaker are all going on a double date saturday lol. Quite funny. Its gonna be kinda awkward since im on a semi-date with one of my best friend's ex boyfriend. But she said it didnt bother her. I keep saying semi-date cause Joey told Christin to make sure i knew this was just a friends thing for right now, which i knew anyway. Im so excited!

I was so tired sunday night and i was literally about to put my head on the pillow and my phone started vibrating. I was like oh gosh i dont wanna talk to anyone, but it was Christin so i picked it up and she was like are u in bed lol? But i talked to her for like 30 mins or more and when i got off with talking to her, i could not sleep whatsoever. I had been so tired before and then i was wired for like an hour after that. I think were gonna go downtown and see a movie. But i already know not to get my hopes up. I HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT SINCE ITS NOT A REAL DATE. I mean i cant go in expecting anything can i? Well since its not a real date, if im shot down, its not like it meant anything cause there was nothing there to begin with. Right? I hope this doesnt tear me apart. I thought about it and this is like the first contact ive had with a boy, EVER. So obviously im somewhat excited cause im going on my first semi-date with a hott guy who may have some feeling towards me. Yeah thats real true since he barely knows me. Okay Cortney. And now im talking to myself. Im thinking WAY WAY too into this. Christin, i hope i dont pist u off. Thats not my intention and NEVER will be.

Holy crap!!!!! I just put Ryan Headden as one of my friends on Facebook and shows him and Kaci Dupree (remember the really pretty girl who left after like 1 semester our freshman year? really good friends with shelley?) are MARRIED. Holy crap there married unless its a joke. Thats just really weird.

So me and Lauren went to the Chatt Symphony last night for music class. Fun times lol. It wasnt near as bad as I thought it would be. I went and picked her up at 5 and we drove downtown, yes i drove on the interstate all the way downtown and back, i am very proud. Haha i got off on the wrong exit too, im such a dork, but we eventually found where we were going. So we parked and walked down to Sticky Fingers to eat and we got right in which was good except that had alot of time to kill till 8. We got the artichoke and cheese deep too that was wonderful. And I had a free coupon for peach cobbler that came in a MASSIVE bowl. It was so big, but good.

So we were walking down the road to the Tivoli and take into consideration we were dressed up majorly for this and im sure people were staring as we walked down the street in our dresses and stuff. But anyway we hear these 2 guys yelling at us in their truck trying to get our attention. And of course they have to stop at the light and so do we to cross so the whole time im trying so hard not to crack up and ignore them. They commented on Lauren's clear shoes too i remember that real well lol. Haha made me feel kinda good though cause that never happens to me. I must say i looked mighty fine last night too. I wore my pretty halter dress and i had my hair curled and it stayed!!!!! I havent curled my hair since Class Day and it didnt work out too well then cause it was too long. I dont even know why i did it last night either cause i knew it would fall cause it was so hott, but it stayed pretty well. It made me happy lol.
So then we bought our tix for 15$ since we were students and they were originally 48$!!!!! Thats insane! We also were seated in the 2nd row, which sucked cause it said on my music sheet to sit in the back cause u can hear better. So much for that.

So everyone comes out and then they start playing the national anthem and everyone stands up and me and Lauren are looking around like whats going on lol? And the pianist had NO music all night and was playing from memory. But the funny thing was that both of us could hear him breathing through his nose, HORRIBLY. It was like he had lots of boogers and his nasal passages were clogged and he was gasping for air. Cause it was like he wasnt breathing. He'd take huge breaths every so often and i was like dude, u can breathe, its ok lol. But the whole concert went by pretty quick considering we didnt have anything to watch technically lol. There was a semi cute guy in the orchestra who looked like Legolas though cause his hair was long and blonde and back in a pony tail lol. Lauren noticed that lol. It was a good night i must say. But my review is crap lol.

Guys i want yall to please pray for Mrs Jones and her family. Her husband died in his sleep last week. If you remember he used to sub at boyd and she always said he had seizures and i think he was epileptic. Well apparently she went to go sleep somewhere else and he had a seizure in his sleep and suffocated. Apparently they have no money now, not even enough for a funeral. So please pray for them.

Well school is good. Besides the monsoon we had tuesday. And for some reason i decided to wear a skirt that was flowy and the wind was HORRIBLE, so i was trying to hold my purse, umbrella and skirt down all at the same time. I looked like i was at boyd again. Yeah and i forgot i had on red underwear under a blue skirt. Classic day. I also got a coffee to get warm with that was only a shot and i paid for a medium cup. I didnt know it was a shot until after i got it. Pist me off.

I went to Government the other day and my teacher didnt show up. We had a prelaw club presentation which lasted 5 mins and its an hour and a half class. So me and a girl in there went to the UC and talked for a while. Good way to make friends i must say lol. I also found out a girl in my English and Music class is taking aerobics so ill know someone next week.

Oh yeah im thinking about getting my nose pierced! Im so excited about it cause im pretty sure im gonna do it. My roommate, Taylor, has it done and i was asking her about it when she went to buy new studs. Well then i started noticing alot of girls had it done and it looked so cute. Its so small too. Taylor said she could barely find the hole when she took her stud out. It looks like a little piece of glitter on your nose. Taylor said it didnt hurt either, but i dunno about that one lol. Its only 27$ at standard ink right down from my apartment. She keeps bugging me about it too for fun lol. But all of my roommates decided to get something pierced together. Taylor kinda wants her belly button done and i think sarah wants something in her ear. I dunno but i warned my parents about it. My mom was like, please dont do that. Why? Please dont do that lol. But its my money and my body and i told them dont be surprised if i come home with it done one weekend. They probably wont even notice. Ill keep ya posted.
