reader beware....i need to vent

i moved out of the st. james yesterday. moving absolutley sucks and my body feels like my mom ran over me in that uhaul truck that she had so much fun driving over the weekend. i got a little sentimental when everything was moved out and i was staring at the blank apartment that i moved into 2 years ago. lots of good memories. top 5 good memories:
5. that invite only christmas party i had 2 years ago where those crazy frat boys tried to beat up my friends
4. tailgating with my parents and brother and his crazy friends
3. mine and sara cat's spend the night parties that took place every single night for about 2 months
2. talking about sex with my roomie holly and really freaking the other roommate out
1. kyle screaming and falling down the first time he saw the ugly purple room

so there they are....i'll miss that place. the new place is awesome but small. guess i will have to get rid of some friends...hehe. just kidding.

so now it's venting time. ok, my grandmother is a precious woman who i have been extremely close to my entire life. i am the grandaughter that she clearly dotes over the most. however, she is very concerned for my love life and wants me to "have a better life than she did" which translates to "marry a man with money". she loved ted and has yet to get over the fact that he and i are completely over. he was handsome and rich and the fact that i was miserable doesnt seem to concern her. so....this morning i get a phone call from my mother saying that g'mother was cooking my favorite dinner and that i should invite nick so that he could meet everyone. he is becoming a huge part of my life and it is time for him to meet the fam, ya know? so...i wake nick up and tell him and he is happy and all and then goes back to sleep. i get up and leave to come home and on the way home, i call my grandmother to make sure it is ok if he comes. basically she said that she didnt think she had any reason to meet him because she's sure i'll meet someone better oneday. she tried to make a bunch of excuses about how meeting new people is stressfull and all that crap but long story short...she really upset me. if he were ted he could freakin live there and she wouldnt care. i cried the whole way home. the people in the wendy's drive thru probably thought i was on some major drugs.

anyways, i called mom hysterical and by the time i got home she had fixed the whole situation. and then she told me some good advice. she said to make myself happy. she told me that she had tried to please my grandmother her whole life and has yet to succeed. he may not look like ted or have the money he did, but he would bend over backwards to make my every happiness come true. i guess this is another part of being an adult. moving on from pleasing others. hmmm....something to ponder.

gotta go shower, smell like a bar. we are making bbq chicken here tonight, nick is coming. i cant wait.
