Things a guy shouldn't do (all happened to me recently -different guys- so I'm not being judgemental or anything):

1.)  Tell a girl that you are going to talk about something in a few days and instead just not talk to her at all.  (it's been months, if you were wondering)

2.)  Tell a girl that you are working the rest of the week and then show up to workout one evening.  Wouldn't be so bad if she didn't go to the same gym you did --- oops. 

3.)  Tell a girl she looks like a 'deusche bag'.  And also ask...  'Are you really going to walk in there wearing that?'  Really???  When a girl is drunk, tired, and doesn't care what she looks like, you shouldn't either.  If a guy wants to impress a girl, he should be showering her with compliments no matter what.

4.)  Continuously ask for a blow job when he barely knows the girl.  That to me is just rude.   

5.)  Not open the car door on the initial pick up of the first date.  That is huge for me!  You better open the car door the first time you come to my house or at least give a reason why you aren't.  I don't mean every time we enter the car, but the first date is a must.

6.)  Try to make out with a girl on the first date if you are a BAD kisser.  Bad idea. 

7.)  Say 'I'll talk to you soon' when you have no intentions on calling or contacting.  Just say bye and leave it at that.  If she asks, then lie.  It was her fault for asking.  But don't just say it, just because you feel you have to.

8.)  Straight up, out of the blue, ask... 'Did you get a boob job?'  A guy can find out from someone else without having to ask the girl.  Ask one of her friends.  And flat out asking is kinda rude don't you think?  Especially when they are natural!

  If you didn't get the point of this blog...  I AM DONE WITH GUYS!!!!

I just wanted to give a few quick updates and then I'll do details in a later entry...

1.)  I finally quit my job.  I gave my notice for August 22nd, what my boss and I agreed on.  Then his boss and the director decided that I couldn't stay that long.  They are making me leave August 8th.  So I only have one more week of work left...  CRAZY!

2.)  I am going to Graduate School!  It's Official!  I got an assistantship at MTSU, so I am going there to get my Masters in Math.  I am very excited.  And nervous!

3.)  Things are finally over between that guy and me.  We don't even talk anymore.  It's weird.  Things just ended, literally.  We sent a few emails back and forth saying that things were different between us, etc.  He suggested that we think about it and talk in a few days...  We never talked.  That was about 2 months ago.  We've had maybe one really good day of conversation and that was only because I was really upset that day and he was just trying to be supportive when I asked him to talk to me.  I figure when I go to grad school I won't see or talk to him again.  Which is really sad because we were best friends.  I hate that he had to end it this way, but I am not going to bring it up again.  I have several times, so he made his choice. 

4.)  I've gone on a few dates since things ended with that guy.  They have been good, actually.  I never say that.  I like these two guys.  I don't know how much, just yet.  I told my friend that I thought this one guy was a 'Rebound Guy' and she said that I needed one - haha!  But I think he is a player.  So as long as I keep that mind set about him, I think I am ok.  I'll give more updates when I know more about my feelings.  Don't want to spill too much too soon.

5.)  My best friend, Ashley, is getting married in a week!!!!!  I cannot believe it!  I am so excited, but I cannot believe that one of my friends is actually getting married.  She and Casey are perfect together.  I am so happy for them. 

I was reading my past blogs and I can already update my New Year's Resolution List...

New Year's Resolutions for 2008

1.  Lose 5 pounds - I still probably need to lose about 5 more

2.  Run the Music City Half Marathon - April 26, 2008 - Didn't do it.  Volunteered instead.

3.  Run a full marathon - I still want to do this!

4.  Try out for the Predators Dance Team - I went the first day, but decided not to tryout. Just not for me.

5.  Go out more (whether it's dinner, coffee, bars, etc) Just living life outside of work - I have!!!!

6.  Give guys a chance.  Don't decide immediately that they are not the one.  Don't immediately pick out their flaws. ???

7.  Decide and submit applications for graduate school - Accepted to all 6 schools!  Going to MTSU August 25th!!!

8.  Bike outside more, maybe even purchase a new bike - Bought a helmet.  Going to how grad school goes first.

  Better as a memory...

I am going to graduate school this August!!!!  It's not official because I haven't been accepted, but I am going to start grad school somewhere if I have to go there and talk them into letting me take classes - haha!  I considered waiting another year.  Basically because I don't have any money, but then I decided...  Why wait???  I am just going to take out loans in a year.  Why not stop putting my life on hold and start getting on with my life?!?!  So that's what I am doing.  I just decided last Sunday.  It has been a crazy few days trying to get applications filled out, transcripts sent, recommendations requested, resume updated, the list goes on and on.  I know I am going to forget something.  I really hope I get accepted and get a TA or GA position as well.  That would be amazing.  Then I wouldn't have to take out as big of a loan.

Quick guy update...  he's still around.  Everything is back to the way it was before he left me for another girl.  It still bothers me though.  When he even says her name, I immediately get in a bad mood.  I can't help it.  How would you feel if you knew that you would never be that girl, yet you were always the one he turned to, but one day she may call, and he may go running back to her.  That he will never look at you or feel for you the way he does for her.  I couldn't go to his show the other night because I knew she would be there.  I don't think I could be in the same room with the two of them.  I can't bear to hear him say her name, it would be heartbreaking to see him look at her.  But yet I still hang out with him...  I don't understand.  But I don't want to understand.  I try not to make sense of it.  If I try to figure things out between us, I get frustrated or upset.  If I just have fun and enjoy his company, then I am happy.  I just listen to too many people who think that we need to have our situation 'figured out' when we don't at all.  We are what we are and that is good enough for me...  right now. 

Maybe grad school is good for another reason.  It will get me away from the guys in Nashville!  Fresh start.  New Beginning!

  Andrea is no longer putting her life on hold...

So the guy that let me go...  yeah well...  I some how managed to let him back into my life.  I know what you are thinking - "Stupid Girl!"  But I can't help it.  I don't want to be the girl that he is using to get over this other girl, but I really don't care either.  I enjoy his company.  I am so comfortable around him.  It's really weird how comfortable and use to him I am.  And I don't want to lose him.  I have no reason to let it go.  Besides the fact that he ditched me for another girl and likes another girl more than me, I have no reason not to keep him around if he wants to hang out.  I am keeping my options open though.  I am meeting new people.  Hopefully I'll find someone and they will take my mind off this other guy.  Because this other guy has already decided that we couldn't date.  We would fight and argue too much - and I agree.  So we aren't putting any pressure on the dating situation and just keeping it fun.  It just gets so confusing sometimes.  Maybe if it wasn't confusing we wouldn't argue???

As for grad school...  I have decided to study Mathematics.  Where or what concentration...  that has yet to be determined.  I am going to apply for August 2009.  I figure that will give me plenty of time to work, pay off loans, relax, and decide what I want to do with my life.
