Late Night Check Up

Hello, hope everyone has been having a good time since the last time I posted on here. Been busy lately. Had an interview with a modeling and acting agency, unfortunately though, I never got to make it. But moving on with jobs that are random. Applied to online representative jobs, babysitting, pet sitting/pet walking, house keeping, stores. Have worked in a fast food place before, it wasn't great. Also been researching the cheapest homes for sale that would be close enough for me to actually get my son when I'm supposed to.
Was supposed to hang out with someone tomorrow, but he cancelled due to work. Tired.
Was actually awakened around 7:29 in the morning due to a bad dream. Not sure who it was, but in the dream it was a guy pretty much stalking me and kept peering through the windows. He had a gun and kept pointing it at me. It was weird. Not sure about dream meanings, either way, don't really feel comfortable in public now.
There are people that believe dreams can foretell the future... If so then mine just mix between good and terrible. Back in my teens had a dream that I actually wrote into the first part of When The Dead Came. Yet around the age of 18, I had a dream where I was married and had five kids, oldest being a boy.
Ironically I used to be married (divorced now) and my first child is a little, adorable boy... I miss my son.
You know what, might start a new blog to talk separately about him and parenting/single mom stuff. Cause I know there may be readers out there that don't enjoy how I go from discussing my day or something, then go talking about my son. So, separate blogs! That's about all for now, gonna start this new blog for single moms/divorced too. Something that will make sense. I hope.

Love

Late Night Check Up

Hey everyone. Been busy, and trying to do more writing, but been hitting writers block like crazy. Celebrated my older brother's birthday yesterday (since it's after midnight), got out of the house. Even though it was to the store, I still cherished it haha. Ran through WalMart for a last minute product. Glad it wasn't as crowded as larger WalMart's, almost ran into a cart.
Had a chance for an interview with a modeling and acting agency but missed the interview. Wasn't too happy with that, but hey, better luck next time, right? Anyways, been offered a lot of dates lately, but hesitant. I really want to be careful, had four failed relationships, don't want a fifth failed relationship.
... Forgot what I was going to add to that. But, yeah. Hesitant. Oh, also realized this coming week will be the same time last year when my ex husband told me he was divorcing me. September 1st will be the one year mark, seeing how I was advised twice to wait a year before dating. But, instead of that, I also plan on improving myself and my life.
Other than that, not much else. A guy got mad at me cause I turned him down, then proceeded with telling others that I only want to use guys for money. Completely false. I've turned down at least six or more guys when they offered money or to spoil me. If I want money then I'll earn it myself... Not having any luck with that right now, but I still won't stoop that low. Another guy called me a dumb bitch also because I turned him down.
I turned down the first guy because he asked me to screw him and his friend. I turned down the second guy because he was more like a friend.
Just like any other human being in the world, I just want to find the one. A sense of humor is the key to my heart. Loyalty, caring, protective. Dark hair, someone who I can enjoy horror and comedy movies with. Someone I can enjoy listening to Linkin Park with, rock and metal music. Someone that will accept my son. Someone that won't verbally abuse me or threaten me. Someone that knows they want marriage and kids in the future. And doesn't mind playing video games either.
In the state of Oklahoma, that is a bit hard to find, and can't find someone out of state or country cause apparently guys don't want a long distance relationship. I'm pretty much stuck.
Also, been thinking of seeing how it works if I do a video post. Think that could work? Honestly, never done a video post before. Doesn't hurt to try though.
That's about all right now that has gone down.

Love

A New Book Currently Being Worked On

Hello (again), been writing, and this isn't the final book to my zombie series, When The Dead Came, although the final book will be coming very soon. But, this particular book I'm working on is another horror story. Not zombie based or apocalyptic in any way. This book is more of a psychological horror.
It was one I originally wrote back in 2009 or 2010. I'll be sharing small parts from it as I work along and hopefully will prove to be interesting. I hope anyways.
This book will not be dragged out like When The Dead Came 1 & 2/Apocalypse World/Survive, and the last book coming soon.
Here is a small sample from the new horror book, Don't Be Afraid.

A clanking of pipes echoed from the last room, her hearing making it seem as though it happened against her eardrums. Walking, she swallowed the fear and stuttered,"D-Darius? Valerie? Clyde? Anybody down here?!"
The rooms around her seemed to come to life as sounds echoed all around her. Screams, yells, and scratching frightening her. Turning and facing directly at the square, glass window of a door, Larissa watched as a young man was screaming and beating his head against the glass.
Jumping back, she bumped into something. Turning, another young man was in a wheelchair. The bandage on his head fell loose and she could see within, a hole from a lobotomy. Screaming, Larissa dropped the flashlight and turned to run, the lights going out again. As she continued screaming, she ran into a stretcher and fell to the floor, hitting her head hard against a loose floor tile.
Opening her eyes, Larissa looked down at the floor, faintly seeing the drips of blood from her wound as the lights kept flickering again.
"Don't worry dear, we will fix you up just fine." Larissa's eyes grew wide when she heard an elderly man's voice speak behind her. Looking back over her right shoulder, there stood a tall man. His gray hair combed over perfectly as he grinned, white teeth with what looked like blood stains; small splats on his otherwise perfectly white coat.
Larissa screamed at the top of her lungs and felt a sharp pain around her ankles, her body suddenly jerking and her face went down against the floor, busting her mouth and nose hard enough to draw blood. She screamed again as she was quickly dragged down the long hall, the flickering lights going out as she passed them, maniacal laughter following throughout the hall in the dark.

I'll be sharing more off and on. And pretty soon it will be available.

Being A Single Mom at 25

Hello again. It has been so hot here everyday. Did some cleaning yesterday, to take a break from writing, and found a few dimes and pennies in my belongings. Put away most of my son's clothes. Can't wait for the day to come when I can see him again. Or the day I can try for full custody. I miss him so much that it makes me feel sick to my stomach. Also stated before that I would give up coffee, writing books/stories, and a kidney for him.
I'm sure there are a few readers on here that can understand what that is like, or knows what divorce is like. I was actually advised to wait a year to move on, been divorced for about ten months now. Not bad at all.
I always wanted to be a mom, these days though I feel less like a mom and more like how I was before ever being in any relationships: Dull, shy, and that awkward teen again.
I don't know. Divorce pretty much screwed me up. I can't even bring myself to attempt flirting with guys interested in me because I'm afraid of getting close to someone else. And I suck at flirting. Well, most guys also seem to run away when I mention I'm a single mother to a little boy.
I love my son very much that I'm sure I want to give up relationships so I can just focus on him. He's a smart kid for two years old. He knows numbers, colors, American muscle cars, not picky, loves playing the drums, enjoys How To Train Your Dragon, listens, helps clean, compassionate, likes football and hockey, insects, good music. Maybe if I can get full custody one day, I think I can do it as a single mom. I'm quite sure I can do it.
I'll also admit, I tried dating sites, but that is not the wisest choice.
So at this point, I'm gonna wait it out. Wait for the right guy to find me. Judging by my four failed relationships, it's wise for me to wait, haha.
Once again, just blogging my random thoughts. As you can tell, it jumped a lot.
But yeah, I'll be quite happy when I can finally hold my little boy again.
Love
Ariana
