10:39 am - Oh dear
|
I have to get a physical today for college. I'm slightly freaked out, never had one before. But tonight will be better, some friends and I are all eating at Buca (YUMITALIAN)and then going to Rochel's house to burn candles. Yes, that's right, we are burning candles. Just to get rid of them so that they are no longer taking up space. I feel bad for the candles. Perhaps I should be like Hermione and start a Society for the Protection of Candlish Wellfare.
SPCW. It could work.

10:52 pm - Thank goodness the hateful garage sale is over! Yus!
|
First off, Nicole (my roommate at college) says that she wants friends, so I am allowed to send you all to her LJ. So go: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ichiko_chan Friend! She's a really amazing person and I've only known her about two weeks but I love her bunches, so you will too! If you are a RL friend and you friend her you should leave a comment saying that you went to school with me, how long you've known me, etc...maybe throw in a good word about me *nudgehintpoke*. Just kidding :)
Does anyone else remember Adema? I feel like my brother and I are the only ones. Unfortunately none of my friends were into metal 4-ish years ago. Anyways, my brother found the cd whilst cleaning his room and we have been listening to it like crazy because they really are pretty good. The new Staind cd comes out on the 9th! Get excited! I know I am!
Now I have to go watch for Erik who is coming over and I don't want him to ring the doorbell. BRB.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm going. I have to get my stuff together for tomorrow because I am meeting Nicole IN PERSON for the first time!!!! *bounces* It's going to be awesome.

1:13 am - Semi-accidental harmless pranks (yes, they are possible)
|
HAHA. Oh my goodness, that was flippin' hilarious. My friends and I were on our way back from uptown, Minneapolis and we had just dropped off retrodaisy when I decided to ask My-le (who was driving) if she would drive by Erik's house so I could see if he was still awake. I was only planning on looking to see if his office light was on (which would be a clear indication that he was still up), but when we drove by I discovered that he was sitting on his living room couch right in front of the window and the window was open! My-le and I quickly and unanimously decided that I could not let an opportunity like that pass, so I got out of the car and walked right up to the window.
Me: Eeeerrrrriiiiikkk
Erik:OHMYGOD*JUMPSTENFEET*
Me: *internally laughing my ass off* I'm sorry, I figured I'd probably startle you, but I really didn't mean to *cross fingers behind back*
Oh it was beautiful. So uptown was a good time. We were going to check out this one restaurant closer to home, but it turned out that they switched to 21 plus at a certain time of night, so that was out. Uptown was our next choice. We got there and walked around a bit (found the most amazingly cool bookstore. Will definitely be going back) and then ate at Chiang Mai Thai, which was fairly good food. I'd like to try eating there sometime when they are serving things other than just appetizers.
My new roomie got a LJ *bounces*
HI NICOLE *waves*
I won't tell you her username here because I'm not sure how she would feel about it, but if you want it I will perhaps tell you upon request and then you should say hi and stuff so she feels the love that radiates from LJ.

9:21 pm - Game Night. Oy-vey.
|
I love Game Night, I really do. Hell, I started it. But tonight it somehow feels a little weird...or something. I dunno, my boyfriend called me after work and I had a headache, but when I told him that he asked if it was alright if he came over for a while. I felt like he was using me for my Air Conditioning. And PS, I see him every day and I need a little break. Now my headache is starting to go away (I suppose XP), and my friends just called me looking to play board games. So I'm thinking in my head, alright, it can be girls night. Wrong. I was instructed to call another friend to see if she wanted to hang out too and she said "sure, me and *insert her boyfriend's name here* will be right over." And I couldn't say no please don't bring him because I am definitely not in the mood for putting up with anyone male...so they are on their way over. Meanwhile, the friends who called initially are off at Target buying God only knows what, and I am here waiting for the shit to hit the fan. Or something like that...the friends to hit the front door??? I give up. I concede. 10 years from now I'll look back and be glad that I had them all over to my house because I'll realize that it was good to spend as much time with them as possible. So in 10 years, someone should remind me of that.
*HEADDESK*
PPS: To the friends who called, I do not blame you. In fact, I really did want to hang out with you. Mostly it was girl-who-is-bringing-stupid-boyfriend. Please do not confuse my frustration as being associated with your impending presence.
current mood:  blah

12:07 am - *facepalm*
|
For the next 7 months, I will have two cell phones. I'm hoping that my parents won't be expecting me to carry them both around all the time just so that they can call me for free on the Verizon one. My new one matches my laptop (which I realized considerably after the fact) and is a camera phone. In 7 months the Verizon contract will be up, and my whole family will switch to Sprint, just because I am going to college and Verizon doesn't work in St Peter, MN. I feel powerful. Or something. So if you want my new number you should ask me for it.
It really amazes me how many new things I have experienced/will be experiencing since graduating high school. I mean, I went to France, I got a new phone, I'm moving in a month and sharing a room with a girl I haven't actually met in person, I got a lap top, my first checking account...It's all a little overwhelming. And through it all I have been working, and fitting in as much time as I can to spend with my friends because I am going to miss them all.
I'm meeting my roommate on sunday. I'm a little nervous, but happy because from what I can tell, she and I are going to get along just fine. In fact, I will be shocked if we don't become friends. So it's exciting. Her name is Nicole. I should ask her if she has a lj.
Now it is out with the contact lenses and time to curl up with Erik and fall asleep to the dulcet sounds of Monty Python.

10:11 am - IKEA!
|
Mes Parents woke me up this morning saying that they wanted to go to IKEA!
DORM SHOPPING WOOOOOOOOOHHH!!
So I even though that is probably not why they wanted to go, I am headed off to my college's website to find out the dimensions of the dorms so that in case I see something I like I'll be able to check it out.

1:08 pm - Ugh Swimming with headaches
|
I feel weird. Like my whole body hurts just a tiny bit, some areas more than others. My head hurts. Kind of like the feeling you get a day or two before you get sick. But of course my niece and nephew are over and they are UBER hyperactive, so my mother decided we are taking them to the community center to go swimming. I don't wanna!!!!! *whinyflail*
They are trying to "beat" me to getting my swimsuit on. Because I am obviously trying so hard to win by sitting here in the office like a bump on a log.
Must go. Will be back later.
EDIT: Okay, I'm back. I feel much better now that I have slept for FOUR HOURS. Woooooo! It's like I woke up and all the annoyances of the world were gone. Diane is home (!!!), Abby and Robert went back home, and I feel normal again!!!! Am watching You've Got Mail which I haven't seen in years. It's such a good movie.
I miss Paris where you could walk to any corner cafe and buy Pain au Chocolat. I miss Pain au Chocolat. I miss art museums EVERYWHERE and people making out on the metro and the little elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

7:54 pm - Cookie, Cookie, Cookie, Cookie!
|
Today the boyfriend and I made peanut butter cookies. Okay, strike that. I made peanut butter cookies, and he watched, put stuff away, and made the criss-crosses with a fork at the end. But it was fun, and he bought me lunch so it was sort of my weird way of reciprocating. We have been together four months today. Kind of crazy. Even crazier is that he actually keeps track of it...which I don't even do. Strange boy, that one.
Mmm...very good cookies if I do say so myself.
illuminations is still out of town, and I am MISSING HER LIKE MAD! And retrodaisy. She's out of town too! And it's her birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR! I'm going to call her later. Di-chan and I have been texting like it's going out of style about everything from the state of the fandom post HBP, to those funny stereotypical Chinese farmer hats that look like lampshades (she is Chinese, I am allowed to say such things).
Mmmmm...more very good cookies.
Now I am debating about what I want to do with the rest of my evening. I have a couple of afformentioned, out-of-town friends to ring up later, but other than that I am free to do as I choose. That never happens! I could...shut myself in my bedroom and dance around to music from my lost youth! Or I could take a bath! Or read a book! The possibilities are endless! Comment with suggestions if you have any, I'm open to anything!

11:08 pm - "I blame the ghost of Little-Kitty Pee-A-Lot" (name that TV show!)
|
Ah, to be home alone. So rare these days. I did enjoy a very pleasant (and hilarious, as per usual) visit from cowgirl_elmo this evening. I don't see nearly enough of that girl. But, as we established, I am now the second to last person that she would stab with a knife, so that means she spends a lot of her free time else-where. She lent me a book which is wonderful and adorable, so you should all be reading it. It's called "Fairy Tales; Traditional Stories Retold for Gay Men." The whole thing is just normal fairy tales with interesting twists because they are all guys and such. Ugh there is work tomorrow. I have to get up at 6:30. Work at 9:00. Don't get to leave until 2:00. Too many hours at the library. I should get my license so that I do not have to rely on Erik for a ride and then I could go in later. What a beautiful concept. I should sleep. Or read or something.

9:19 pm - I promise that there will be no spoilers other than mentions to the mood that I am now in
|
|
I am now a bit depressed. Well, sad and curious...and feeling satisfied because it's over...but so so sad. And all I had was toilet paper instead of kleenex. That sucked royally. But now I am in a mood and I really want to be alone tonight, but my boyfriend called and guilted me into letting him come over even though I did not want him to. So now I cannot sit and clear my mind with fanfiction (or dwell further as the case may be) etc..or ponder R.A.B., but rather I have to pretend I'm happy to see him. When I'm not actually happy to see anyone. With the exception of illuminations whom I would be more than happy to see if only she weren't currently in CANADA. When there is a HP crisis and pondering to be done, one's BFF should NOT be unreachable.

4:57 pm - I'm back!
|
I just got home last night from PARIS! It was the most amazing thing ever. I went on this whole long descriptive rant on my xanga about it (mostly the art, which made me so happy I thought I might burst), but since I don't know how to do the lj cut thingies, I'm not going to do that here so that no one has to scroll through all of that. When I see Diane I'll just have her do it and then you can all read about my trip (well, the art part) if you want. But just know that I had an incredible time, but that I am glad to be back home because I missed everyone like crazy.
And Erik went with my Dad to the airport and totally showed up with flowers. I really love that boy sometimes. I fell asleep on him when we got back to my house, but it was inevitable after so many hours of being awake.
Now I have to go look up a recipe for Pain au Chocolate (Pain=bread in french FYI)

Holy crapitos! I am flying to Paris tomorrow!!!! I can hardly believe it!
Anyways, Diane is going to roll her eyes when she sees this because I still have to finish packing. Zut alors! Maybe I should get off line, finish packing and then get back online to finish this.
Brilliant plan Watson!
EDIT: Good morning! So I am all packed I think! Just a couple last minute things that I needed to use this morning before I could pack them, but other than that...hmmm...So I'm really really going to miss everyone and everything. I woke up this morning and I could already feel the homesickness settling in. I'm sure though that I'm going to get there and just get so caught up in everything that it won't matter as much.
Why can't I take Erik with meeeeeeeeeee???????
Pooh on that. He's too big to fit in my suitcase. Alright, I definitely have to get dressed and such so that I can perhaps find time to put one last cd on my ipod before I go.
Je vous aimez beaucoup!

Holy flipping H it's cold in my room! My poor fingers tips are purple. I am such a sad pathetic person, that while I have been sick these past 4 days or so, I have done almost nothing useful. I have sat on my ass with my poor
Oh goodness, witty banter with the ex. My life could hardly be complete without it.
yes, anyways...my poor overused laptop reading fics for a fandom I haven't touched in like, two years. Dragon Ball Z. I was sailing the good ship SS Bulma and Vegeta like it was going out of style. And because I was so ill, no one tried to stop me. It was lovely. And now I have to go get something notarized for college.
Toodles.

7:17 pm - I heart grad parties
|
Wow. At the end of it all I had $800 in cash and checks, with $5 to Target (thank you Dave) and $10 for Bed, Bath, and Beyond (Dan rocks). I don't know exactly what that'll buy me at college, but I'm a helluva lot closer to paying all that yucky tuition than I was two days ago. Rock. So I'm still quite ill which bites big time because it means that I have to be at home, and my grandma is visiting still. Don't get me wrong, I love my grandma, but you know how you can only stand so much of a person before you want to scream? Well I'm getting there. Paris in 10 days! I wrote out my first packing list draft today, and there are plenty more to come. I wanted to type up my list on my laptop, but I don't think it came with word, so when my daddy gets better (he had his gullbladder removed this morning) I'll have him install that. I think he did it to save money or something *shoulder shrug*. Ugh, I have to figure out what clothing I am bringing to Paris. I am so screwed. That's like asking Imelda Marcos to decide what shoes she's going to bring on a trip and restricting her to only 5 large suitcases full. I only have one suitcase to work with...granted it's a nice large suitcase...I haven't a fifth of the shoes that Imelda Marcos had...but still...it's the same!
Alrighty, I'm going to go make more lists. I think now I shall go in my room and see if I missed anything on my initial list, and then split everything between suitcase, carryon, and toiletries. Then I'll list everything I need to buy still...then I'll ponder the clothing issue. Ugh.
Then I should get my French in ten minutes a day book and brush up a little now that I'm not speaking it everyday. Wouldn't want to get there and forget everything I've learned the past 4 years. That would suck.
*runs away mumbling to self in French*

11:57 pm - *coughing and dizziness*
|
Only I could accomplish such a thing as getting sick the day before my grad party. UGH. But I did get to go to a couple parties today and buy really adorable pj pants before I went home and crashed. Then I spent 6 hours in afformentioned pjs under multiple blankets watching sex and the city and eating macaroni and cheese which my mummy made for me :} I got to open all my cards today so that I don't have quite so many to be opening tomorrow post-party. I ended up with $340 dollars, which, you know...might cover the cost of one college text book. Gross. Hopefully there will be more very generous donations tomorrow from all the relations.
Okay, I officially miss the boyfriend. Not enough to cry about it, mind you. But I do miss him.
Too tired to think anymore...must sleep. So much to do in the morning before all those crazies invade my home. Wish me luck on that one.
