things we forget

RIP Greg Aspacher
Growing up, he was my second dad. Which made sense, I was always hanging out with Ashley and our group and we were always getting into trouble (good trouble of course). He meant so much to me and knowing he is gone brings saddness to my heart. However I know he is in a much better place and he is still looking down on his family, and his "extended" family with pride knowing that we are doing our best. So heres to you Greg, I love you, thank you for making my childhood/teen years special, and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

I'm not finding inspiration around me
I don't feel like I'm doing anything of worth
I feel like I'm wasting the day
I'm just a human shell shrinking till there is nothing left but memories.
I think I just need to cry and left all those gross feelings are out of my system
till I can finally remember the good days and the times I enjoyed laughing and being with people.
I think the past couple days have been very disappointing for me.
Things have really changed and I can't do anything to stop it or to turn the clock backwards to were it made sense.
I have trouble sleeping
I just need to talk

summer time and the living is easy
things have been crazy
and life is never stopping
things i'm looking forward to
This Wednesday Sonic is giving away free root beet floats and New Haven Canal Days
This Thursday Scott and I are going to the fort wayne children's zoo to see the new africa before everyone else gets to see it (employee benefits)
This Friday after work, Katie and I are driving down to the Verizon Music Center to experience a Coldplay concert.
Scott's birthday is coming up, but I still have a two weeks before that happens.
Zoo life is fun and long, but I'm usually never bored, which is a first. When I have a job, I'm usually never enjoying it, but working at the zoo is fun and I enjoy what i do. I think working with Holly Wright also plays a role because she is really funny and when no one is around just says what she wants.
Summer is here and the babies (aka highschoolers) only have a half day tomorrow. It really has struck me that I have been out of high school for one whole year. I can't believe it. Life is funny in those ways I guess.

hello...?
I'm sad that I could no move out with my friends.
I'm scared of my future.
I'm upset that my weekends are spent mostly at the zoo.
I'm happy that I'm at the zoo so often.
I'm tired all the time.
I'm stressed about money/work/future.
I just don't know anymore.

goonies never say die
I love the zoo. If you were unaware I am painting faces for small children (and maybe some adults too) for the summer and getting paid for it. I love it. I love being outside I love seeing all the families, and I'm right across from the ponies and right next to the lemurs. They are soooo cute. Maybe I'll bring my camera sometime and snap a few pictures of what goes down. I'm working Friday/Saturday/Sunday, so if your interested in what I do, or if you just LOVE the zoo...stop by, you may be lucky and get a free face painting by moi.
This past weekend was a rough one. First of all, it was opening weekend of the Rabbit Hole (with two more weeks of preformances!!! Check it out!) and opening weekend of the Zoo, and I had to be at both. Which didn't allow for alot of time with Scott. Naturally I became stressed and very annoyed at basically everything, so we had a long talk and a little break just to recharge and get relaxed. Everything is fine now, but I really learned not to under appreciate any time spent with him or to just not love every moment I am with him. I think times like these are wake up calls to remind us how important certain people are in our lives. As much as I hated it, I really learned to love it.
May 16 is the local shutterbug photography show, and Emma Meyer and I are going to be there, so if you aren't doing anything from 1-3 on that day, I'll have more information, but you should stop by and vote for my picture as people's choice award!!!! :] :] :]
I'm feeling a little less stressed. I need to stop thinking that I control everything and just let events take their natural course and just let life go on like its suppose to. I have a problem of just freaking out about things that have already happened. I can't change them so I just need to learn how to accept them and move on.
Happy belated Earth Day Everyone!

sleepless in huntertown
My heart loves st. joe, because it is perfect. Its furnished, it is hip, it is cool...but the price is just not in my price range.
so my brain is set on canterbury...it is big, affordable, and we can decorate it ourselves. This however is proving to be problematic with some of my possible roommates.
I'm not sure if the hassel of it all it worth moving out just yet. Maybe if i save my money and stay at home for another year i'll be able to move out, or if i just find different people to room with i'll be set. I don't know. its all crazy right now.
I haven't been feeling like myself lately and i think that the stress of everything and not having a moment to myself is really starting to take its toll. I don't know what is going on in my relationship with scott. I think we're in a rut. hahah which is silly to say. but we're getting through it.
I'm hoping that summer will bring a breath of fresh air into the situation.
Other than that, not too much has been happening.
I can't sleep now, and I think its because I think too much.

mamma i'm a big girl now
Right now though, I am helping out as a crew manager for FPT (first presbyterian theatre's) The Rabbit Hole which is a play about a couple dealing with the grief of losing a child. Its really touching and seriously has made me cry every time I see it. It should be a good run. If you are anywhere near the Ft. Wayne area check it out (plus if your a student, call in for free tickets!).
I am ready for summer and for this spring/school season to be over. I'm ready to walk around barefoot, lay in the sun, chill in the pool, and hopefully move out of my parents house. (which is still up in the air, but Katie and some friends and I are looking at St. Joe place for living www.smartstudentliving.com). Its nice but a little pricey so I need to start being smart with my money now, which is something I'm not really good at yet.
Wednesday, April 8, 2009
so nice, so smart
it should be nice
i haven't posted anything in the past...oh goodness, two months, sorry. I really don't know what has kept me. school, trying to find a job, family, friends maybe. my lack of dedication, who knows.
I did find a job though. This summer i will be painting faces at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. I'm totally stoked!
Words i wish people would use more often:
*boss (like "wow man, that was totally boss")
*totes! (like "totes! we should definately hang out sometime")
*bitchin' (like "that move you did on your skateboard was totally bitchin'")
(the next couple may actually be phrases)
*barf me out (like "gross! barf me out, she did not kiss him!)
*geek (you never heard this bad boy too often these days)
*heavy (like "wow man, this news is totally heavy")
*legit ( i'm too legit, i'm too legit to quit)
that was just a little random.
i'm done.
peace

lets get crazy

1/28/09 SNOW DAY for high school and college kids alike. I drove in the killer snow to go to my class in the morning because I did not receive a email or any notification of any kind telling me that my class was cancelled and I had something due, so I wasn't going to 'not go'. But once I got there, surprise surprise no class. So I drove fourty five minutes back home (a drive that usually takes me fifteen minutes) Scott and I used the whole day being all lame and played xbox. Mostly guitar hero and rock band (both of which I'm extremly addicted to now).

1/29/09
I went to Carroll to hang out with scott during the show choir break. I knew that I wouldn't be able to go to the run through because I was going to the vet because my dog honey was (and still is) sick and in pain and maybe would have to be put down. So I was really emotional all day, so much to the point that that night, my left eye became extremely puffy and didn't go down till friday mid-afternoon. Well Honey wasn't put down, but she has torn both her ACL's in both of her knees and she has arthritis...so we're thinking about surgery, but she will never be the same dog. Its very sad and I still get really sad when I think about it. My seven year old sister Morgan asked the doctor if "our honey puppy will be okay" and "is she coming home with us". Kids get right to the point, and when I was Morgan crying I lost it. I'm actually getting a little teary eyed thinking about it now. So I'm going to stop now.
Lets skip friday!

1/31/09
This is me today!!! I look pretty flyyyy. I'm sporting red sunglasses from Target, a furry coat from American eagle, a maroon shirt from Banana Republic and jeans from H&M. I'm pretty fashionable today. Scott and I are going Jordan Jeran's surprise birthday party (shhhh!!! Don't tell him!) and boys are suppose to bring a drink and girls a snack. Sodapop and Ponyboy (Scott and I) travelled to the local Wal-Mart to get these supplies. We were thinking about what people would eat and what people liked but then we can up with a brillant idea. I bought Pringles (flavored: Cheeseburger, Bloomin' Onion, and Mozarelli sticks....yum yum) and Scott bought lame store brand pop (aka Dr. Thunder and Mountain Lighting). We are horrible people. I'm kind of hoping no one brings snacks or pop so for the whole party we're stuck with these gross flavor chips and pop. :-)

24
There are twenty four totally true things about me that people really don't know, I'm being totally honest
24] I have to physically write in a journal everything I do each day, everyday. I don't know whether it is normal, but i seriously have to document what I did or I feel sick. I even carry around a little black book thing that I write NOTES for my journal. I also write my feelings and thoughts about certain main points of the day, but mostly its just a play by play.
23] I like written letters way more than emails or facebook messages. I feel that taking the time to sit down and pen a letter is more personal and allows both the sender and receiver to have something more tangible than text on a screen. I don't write letters very often because I don't have many addresses. If you want me to write you a letter just give me your address. I will send you a personalized letter special from celia anne.
22] I really don't like horror movies. I've gotten more use to the gore and the surprise factor, but if I really had the choice, I would probably never watch another horror flick ever. I don't like the anticipation that scary movies make me feel and I really don't like being scared, period. EXCEPT if i'm at like the haunted castle or cave. I love those things, just not scary movies.
21] I have gotten into a Michael Buble faze. I really love his voice and the style of music he sings. I'm a freak. I don't even know why this happened, but it did. oh well.
20] Its really easy for me to get depressed. Not most people know it but I really do have a fairly low self esteem and I always feel like people are judging me. I pull off the confidence level that is high very well. But I only feel like my true self with my closest friends or if I'm preforming.
19] I write poetry. That doesn't make sense. There is not much rhyme and basically zero meter.
18] I love to dance. It doesn't matter what style. I love it all and I wish that I could be in an awesome street crew.
17] I am writing a novel (or kind of short story, I'm not sure yet) about my high school experience, and I'm totally honest and raw in the book. My true feelings for people are realized and my true opinions over situations and events I was involved with are known. I really hope it never gets published.
16] Its hard for me to let people into my shell. I build up walls to protect myself and its difficult for me to let my guard down and share what I'm really feeling. I really hate feeling vunerable and not strong.
15] I really want to go to prom.
14] I really feel most of the time I am not pleasing people. I feel like I fall short of expectations and pretty much a failure in the eyes of people who love me. I don't feel like I will ever over come my short comings.
13] I have high hopes and goals I want to accomplish, I just need that support. I feel like most of the time I'm by myself. Even though truly I know people are always there to support me.
12] I have a problem with making judgments on people too quickly. I really hate being a hater. I want to change that and give people more chances, because I've messed up and I've hurt people too.
11] I want to someday have the courage to apologize to person x. At this point in my life, I'm still blaming person x for the reason I'm not in that relationship anymore. In a way its mostly person x's fault, but I was in the wrong as well.
10] I really don't like the song "Please Don't Stop the Music", I really feel that Rhianna is just whining through the whole thing. I'd rather shave my eyeballs than listen to that song.
9] I was in show choir. I was in show choir for four years. I enjoyed it. And I still enjoy watching groups preform. Nuff said.
8] I sled surf alot in the winter. I'm surprised I haven't broken every bone in my body because of it.
7] I really hate wearing socks, turtle-necks, panty-hose. Though I'm fine with tights, sweaters, and knee-highs.
6] I sing. alot.
5] I see too many movies and read too many books.
4] I really hate all types of breakfast foods. I dislike pancakes, waffles, french-toast, crepes, eggs, bacon, sausage. I feel like I'm going to throw up if I eat gross stuff like this.
3] My favorite movie is "Singin' in the Rain". I hated that movie all through middle school when Mr. Teeple would make us watch it every year.
2] I hate "The Newsies" with a burning passion of hate.
1] I love meeting people, hanging out with my friends, going to pottery painting places, joking around, taking photographs, laughing, being with scott, watching scrubs, painting my room at odd hours of the night and mostly smiling.

firefly thursdays
Thank you 9 a.m. classes!!!
Seriously I am in love with my morning classes. They allow me to get to bed at a decent hour (now its 12:20-1:00 a.m) and I can wake up at 7:45 feeling so awake (I am a weirdy who functions fine off of 6-7 hours of sleep)
This morning was no different. I woke up, showered, dressed and got everything together for the day. As I was in my car, I realized I forgot a shirt. WHAT? You were outside topless?!?
No.
I was fully dressed. The story is last night I was talking to this kid Scott Esmond, and I told him that I would make a shirt saying "I love Scott Esmond" and that I would wear it to the show choir mock invitational (that is tonight). He didn't believe me.
Scott: There is no way you are going to make a shirt
Celia: You don't believe me?
Scott: I believe that you think that this is going to happen, but Celia, come on, I know you. You won't do it.
Celia: Oh I will too! And you will be all surprised when I pwn you with my awesome shirt making skills
Scott: Okay. If this so-called-shirt ever exists and you do wear it tomorrow, I will give you my Metallica ticket stub. My memory of my first and probably last ever Metallica show. I am so confident that this will not happen.
Celia: Just make sure that you bring the stub, because its going on my door when I win!
.........................................
As you can see, this was a big deal to me. I had to win this challenge. So I ran back into the house, and turned into the kitchen (because my bedroom is where our garage use to be). However while I was turning, my feet wouldn't stop moving forward. My shoes were so wet that they slid and so did I, slamming my leg into the courner of the wall...hard. After a few profanities and laying there looking rather pathetic, I stood up, hobbled to my room and back out. It wasn't until I noticed that my right leg, the leg that was injured, was feeling a little cold and wet that I realized that maybe this was more than just a little run-in with the wall. I pulled up my pant leg and noticed a rather dark red stream of blood trickling down my leg from a decent size gash in my leg.
Anyone see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"? Remember the scene in the movie where Russell Brand's character is on the beach with coral stuck in his leg and Jason Segal's character has to pull it out? Well once the coral was pulled out and 3-5 seconds passed till a river of red started to flow down his leg...that was pretty much my situation. Minus the coral, being in Hawaii, and having Russell Brand or Jason Segal in my house.
I felt I was going to pass out. Not wanting to be found dead later that night (because I was the last one there) I mustered up some strength to clean myself off and put on two very big square Band-Aids.
That kid better bring that damn ticket stub. I'm probably crippled for life now.
Now I'm waiting at the firefly for my lovely friends, Katieface, Tressie (who now has short hair), and Anne for our weekly hangout. (Pictures to come later....of the fly and my leg)

method to the madness
answer: its because I know where everything is, so I don't need to be organized
"Well, then look at your car! Its a pit! You should clean that"
answer: same reason as the room. I have everything and anything that I might ever need. extra shoes, a sweater, random pieces of paper
"Why a hammer?"
answer: very simple. I don't want to be trapped in my car when I fly off the road into a river and my windows won't open because they are electric.
I'm thinking ahead.
Well I took their advice. I did what they told me to do. I cleaned my car
and I am 95% sure I accidently threw away my baby nikon coolpix...penelope. :(
so much for being organized. Now that I am, I have no idea where anything is.

scatterbrained
I get really scurred when I'm home alone, especially at night. I am a baby. My cat runs around the house making crazy noises and I freak out and think its a killer/rapist/salesman/vampire/zombie or whatever and I really just freak myself out. Maybe I should go to sleep. She & Him is calming down, I really love that music.
Classes have started for me, and so far they are somewhat interesting. I'm really excited for my Ethics class, mostly only because there will be group discussions over hot topics and I love awkward situations when people yell at each other and disagree (I'm a freak, I enjoy this)
I'm currently reading Tucker Max's I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell and ohemgee friends. This book, which is not only distrubing and gross, its unbelievable....but its freaking hilarious. I cannot stop laughing at each and every single story. Tucker is an asshole (seriously, he even said it about himself). He drinks too much, sleeps with way to many girls, and has stupid friends, but the situations that they all get themselves into are unforgettable, unbecoming, and sometimes unforgivable. I can't believe people want to be like him. I have to say, I give him kudos for living every single day in the moment, because honestly that is exactly what he does. Good grief.
If you haven't heard of it or haven't read it, please do. It will change your life!
I do apologize for this entry just being everywhere. My thoughts are flying a zillion miles per hour and I really can't focus on one thing, mostly because I'm keeping an ear out for killers.

survey fun one

excuse me...you said plain?

Jon is loveable and sensitive, however he puts of the facade of being the "tuff guy". He may seem like he doesn't care about whatever it is you are doing but let me tell you something. This sixteen year old sophomore still gets up at 3:30 a.m. on Christmas morning running around with excitement just to open his stocking. Jon may not be quick with a come back, but every now and then he'll throw out a clever remark. He is also very photogenic, which is a big plus for me. Jon however is really big on having his picture taken very often, which is not a big plus for me. I just like taking his picture.
