So I've been given a bedtime. Midnight Sunday-Thursday and 2 am on Friday-Saturday. If something comes up, I can call and get permission to stay up later. Otherwise, I am expected to be in bed with the laptop off on time. It's the first time I've ever had a bedtime. I didn't even have one when I was a kid so there are some days that I just absolutely resent it.
Well, for the past week or so, I just haven't felt like going to bed when I was suppose to. Yesterday morning, I asked if we could just skip bedtime. He wanted to know why and wasn't happy with 'I just don't want to'. I proceeded to tell him that I wasn't happy with bedtime this week, and I was tired of doing it. I've been really iritable about the whole thing and tempted to stay up past it every night just because there was a rule there to break. It was rather bratty of me considering the fact that I have had two days this week where I didn't have bedtime and then a following day with an extension because I had to come back to school and I had a paper that was due the next morning.
We talked later on the phone, and he let me know that he wasn't happy about me thinking about staying up past bedtime, even though I knew it would get me in trouble. He said that he felt like I was disrepecting his authority. I hadn't meant for it to come across that way.
He's decided the best way to handle it would be some time in the corner. I've only been in the corner once, but I hate it. It is so embarrassiing, not to mention childish. I was so surprised when he told me that I couldn't say anything. I couldn't really argue with over it at the time anyhow because I was walking with my sister. She would be confused and would most likely tell my parents that she heard me arguing over going in the corner.
I finally got some alone time and was able to talk to him about it. I am still in trouble over being resentful and disrepectful. We can't do anything about it while my sister is here and I am at home. So when I get back on Sunday from home, we're going to deal with it then before I go to bed.
Although I am not happy about being punished, I did feel rather loved and cared for when we were done talking. By bedtime, I had no problem with doing as I had been told.

Needing Space
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been doing other things, and everytime I have gone to update something has come up.
I have been talking to a guy, and there has been talk of maybe taking things from friendship to something more. The "R" word as he called it. This was a few days ago. Now, I am not so sure where we stand.
Thursday morning, he tells me that he sometimes gets too attached to people. Thursday night, he's asking if he's allowed to talk about the "R" word.I went to bed with butterflies in my tummy.
However, Friday morning, I got to thinking about what he had said Thursday morning. Friday afternoon, I asked him if this new talk was simply because he was getting too attached or if he was serious. He claims he was serious. And then, last night we stepped on each other's toes.
While I was talking to him on the phone, I went down to the lobby because a friend called me and said she was lonely and needed to be kept company so she wouldn't fall asleep at work. I figured I could go down there, keep talking to him, and she would just occasionally make her teasing comments. Once I got down there, it was a completely different story. There were tons of people, who hadn't been down there when she called.
Those who couldn't leave the building asked me to go to McDonald's to pick them up some food. So I took food orders and went. Before I even left the parking lot, he told me that he was going to run to the store and that he would call me later. He called me three and a half hours later, after I had already been asleep for over an hour. So he said Goodnight and let me go.
He told me yesterday that his plans for the weekend were to play videogames and watch the Couture vs. Lesnar fight. I am fine with this. We haven't instant messaged each other or talked on the phone today. This unusual for us. If nothing else, we talk for at least five minutes everyday. I am not going to push it. I am not going to call him. I am not going to leave him messages through yahoo. I am just going to let him take a break from me. If he wants to talk, he knows where to find me.
I will admit I did something that may have been a little hurtful to his feelings. The other day he got onto me for not studying. He asked me how I felt about it. I told him that after he was done I mentally seperated myself from him. He was just a being that was there until later. Maybe, I shouldn't have said that, but it was true.
I don't know what he wants from me. I don't know what he expects from me. He tells me to be truthful, to just be me, but it seems like I am constantly stepping on his toes whenever I answer one of his questions. Maybe distance and space is the answer. I'll let you know how it goes.

About me
I realize that most people start their blogs off with a section about themself. I am not very good at just going on and on about my self so I am going to break this up into Q&A type thing.
Education and Job
I am 21 and a pre-med student. I am currently working on a bachaelor's in Biology. My goal is to be in med school within the next two years.
My current job is a resident assistant in the residence halls.
My God-given calling is to do missionary work, providing medical care.
Do you want children?
Yes. My friends think I am nuts for wanting at least 13. I, personally, think it is a great goal. There's partically no sport that I wouldn't have a full team for. I could live anywhere because they would have each other to play with if there aren't any other children in the neighbor. If God decided to bless me with more, I wouldn't have a problem with that either.
Things I dislike
Jello that is no longer liquidified
The straw the dentist uses to suck the stuff out of your mouth
Things I am absolutely in love with
My family
Reading
Learning
Writing
Favorite Childhood Memories
When I was little, every Saturday night, all of the kids and my parents would climb into my parents' bed and we would watch several hours of tv together. Commericals were a time to talk and figure out what would happen next. Then, they cancelled the Pretender and the Profiler.
What I want in a husband
I want someone who is going to love me just as much, if not more than, the day we were married we have been married 50 years.
I want someone who is going to call me on their breaks and driving home from work, not because they have something important to tell me, but because they simply miss me and the sound of my voice.
I want someone who isn't afraid to admit when I am right and who is willing to let me know when I am wrong.
Read the book The Bride. I wouldn't mind having Alec Kincaid.
I need someone who is wiling to love me as I am, faults and all that other jazz. I need someone who loves me enough to protect me and care for me, even when I am being stubborn and claiming I don't need anyone or anything.
I guess that is it for now.
