Thank you mom for everything!!! I mean that! Thank you for supporting me always, no matter what decision I made, even though I know you wished you could do everything for me, you let me make my own mistakes and learn from them. You never tried to control me or live my life, you always let me be an individual, and if I say so myself, I think you did a great job of teaching me common sense and what's right and wrong. You are always there for me when I need you, whether it be to just gab on the phone or give me money or sign for a car.
Thank you for helping me out so much during my recent accident and with the lawyer. Without you, I would not be able to afford a good lawyer or even stay in my apartment and finish school. While I was stuck in my apartment and couldnt go anywhere, you came up EVERY weekend and washed my hair, made sure my laundry was done, stocked my fridge, and payed all my bills. I will never be able to repay you!
Thank you for coming to visit when I need you and understanding how I feel, always. Thank you for comforting words when I need to hear them and letting me know that everything will turn out just fine.
Thank you for the opportunity to go back to college, I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for you working at Penn State so that I could afford it. I know what you do isn't what you've always dreamed of, but you put up with it so that your kids could get an education. Thanks for helping out with the scheduling and student aid parts of college, like I would have ever figured that out on my own! Thank you for all your help through the years when I was young and rebellious, you showed me what was right and what was wrong and that I would surely pay the phone bill if I racked it up! Thanks for coming to visit when I'm feeling alone and making sure that I have things to do when I'm lonely. Thank you for taking me along on all your daytrips and showing me that there is more to life than my apartment. I love you very much!
Thanks for being there when I need you and always listening even when I whine about the same thing over and over again, especially when I am sad or depressed and you guys cheer me up so fast. You always know what I need and don't let me brood over the little things. You let me know I'm not the only psycho person in the world! We always have a good time and I know I could count on you whenever I need you! I love you guys!
Thank you for being there all my life when I needed someone to take out my madness on! Thanks for never really hurting me too hard when you beat me up and thanks for feeling protective of your big sister when I was going through rough times with guys. Thanks for letting me in sometimes when I know you just don't want to talk to anyone. Thanks for being my brother. I love you! (And please don't drive drunk.)
Thank you for being the love of my life. You are the most perfect man I've ever met and I am madly in love with you. Thanks for keeping me grounded and never letting me truly get upset about Penn Dot matters, mean roommates, parties that flop and those damn witches. I love every second I spend with you. I love you!
August 14, 2002: My friend Abby was talking to this guy on the Internet for about 2 weeks, he lives in New York but might be moving to Montana, so Tuesday morning he was leaving to drive out there for a week to look around at apartments and job, etc. So, since he would be passing right through State College, he thought it would be the perfect opportunity to meet Abby! The catch: he would be passing State College at approximately 6:30 in the morning. So the night before they make their plans to meet at EatNPark around 6:30. Abby calls me and can't believe she is meeting this guy since he is completely hot (yes he is) and she feels really intimidated by him. Sooo she asks me if I will go with her for support and in case he turns out to be a psycho killer and kidnaps and her takes her with him to Montana. I agree (what are friends for??) She tells me that she wants to be in EatNPark by like 6, and I should be ready to go at about 5:45.
I was up until 4:00am that night finishing some orders for my store, and I figure that since Abby is going to be here at 5:45, I might as well not even go to sleep since I would have so much trouble getting up (I am NOT a morning person). About 5am, my phone rings, and it's Abby, and she is almost at my apartment already. She is super nervous and accidentally set her alarm an hour early! She shows up about 5 minutes later and we are off to EatNPark after Abby adjusts her shirt, fixes her shoes, applies more makeup, and curls her hair. We walk in together, and then like complete morons, request seperate tables. The hostess looks at us funny, but she seats us beside each other. Abby is like, "No!! She is too close. She needs to be farther away so I don't see her!" The hostess just stares at us. I take a booth about 3 down from Abby and she orders coffee and I have some tea and French Toast (hey I have been on a diet for like 2 months and this is the most fattening thing I've eaten since it started). It is now 5:15am. We find it ridiculous that we are sitting 3 booths apart, yelling to talk to each other, and the guy isn't even going to be there for at least another hour. So I take my tea and move down to talk to Abby.
We are watching out the window and cracking up at how retarded we are for what seem like hours (okay maybe only 1) when her cell phone rings and it's Internet Boy. He says he is still 30 miles away. Great. We wait, and wait and wait some more. Abby is completely strung out on coffee by now (it was her 5th cup) and I am almost dead (I have been up all night at this point). Since the time is getting close, I move to a booth down, just in case he comes in early. We are both sick of sitting in EatNPark and some scary people are starting to come in for breakfast, including a freaky oriental woman who spreads all these papers out on the table in front of her and starts muttering very loudly about all this work she has to do. Then I realize that she is sitting there writing up fortunes for people who I am assuming pay her to do their horoscopes and stuff ... very weird. She is sitting in between me and Abby's booth and I can't see Abby anymore, but we are both cracking up.
Abby makes like 4 bathroom runs to check out her hair and makeup...even commenting once about how she should have ironed her jeans (??) and tells me that if I get bored I can walk across the parking lot to WalMart and she will pick me up after her date. Of course, she will have to drive away with Internet Boy first...then come back to get me so he doesn't wonder why she is going to WalMart and picking someone up, since I am not supposed to be there in the first place.
So finally, at about 6:45, a green truck pulls in the parking lot, and since I can see out the window from my booth and Abby can't, I squeal, "Abby, he's here!!" And oh my was he hot. I'm like, "Abby he's cute, oh my god ..." She is like, "Renee shut up!!" He walks in, looking cute as hell, and walks to Abby's table. They hug and start talking, and suddenly I feel like a complete freak. I am sitting there, spying on my friend's date!! So I get up, pay my check and walk over to WalMart. I shop for about half an hour, spend $60 on stuff I don't need, and go out to the benches at 7:45 to wait for Abby. About 7:55 I see Abby and Internet Boy leave EatNPark, hug, talk a little, and they both get into their cars. Abby pulls out of the parking lot first, and Internet Boy follows right behind her. I'm like ... okay, I'll just wait here. : )
I wait about 15 minutes, and finally Abby returns to get me. She is hilariously insane. Now that she has had more cups of coffee than she can count, she has to go to work at 8:30 and she is madly in love with Internet Boy. She drops me off at my apartment and about 9am, I finally get to bed. What a night/morning. At least Abby met a nice guy! As for me ... I'll just wait here.
October 26, 2002: UPDATE on Internet boy: He called her a week later, and told her that he lied to her. He wasn't planning on moving to Montana nor was he going there to check out apartments. He was going there to meet ANOTHER chick that he met online! Is that a cheap shot or what! Anyway, it doesn't matter. Abby met a new Internet boy. We met him last night (of course I went along... this time I didn't hide in the booth next to them) at his fraternity and hung out for awhile. Once I established that he was safe and wasn't going to kidnap her or anything malicious like that, they went out to the bars and I came home, where I sat and wished that I had an Internet boy to hang out with :(
