Acoustic Medley

I wish I could keep up with anything I start doing. I've been so busy and exhausted over the past month that I don't even know where to begin. Taming of the Shrew just closed on Saturday night, and it was the most fun I've had since I can remember. I met so many great people and made so many amazing friends that I am so grateful for. I even changed my major because it was such an inspiring experience. Unfortunately, it's now over and I have to get back to reality, which means this huge pile of homework that's all due within the next three days. At least I know that once this is over, I only have a few finals and then I'm done with school for the semester.

The weather has been beautiful lately (with some exceptions) and I'm really enjoying playing outside with the pups and driving with my windows down.

Oh yeah, we got a puppy! His name is Levi, he's a papillon, 3 months old and ADORABLE. He is the cutest, most lovable puppy and he's everything my mom and I hoped for when we decided on a puppy. He's brown, or "sable", so when he gets bigger people will be able to distinguish between him and Adam, or "Jackson", as my mom is trying to change his name. Levi has certainly brought a new life and new energy into the house, and I couldn't be happier, even though he poops in my room every time I take a shower. He poops EVERYWHERE, probably because he eats EVERYTHING. I have so many cuts on my hands from his sharp puppy teeth. He eats sticks and bugs and charred wood left over from the fire and chews on rugs and fingers and flip flops and socks and pants...

I can't wait for the end of school and my birthday and summer and Camp Lowe and my trip to California in July and sun sun sunnnnnnn. Things are great and I'm happy and very content with everything.

Weird.

Two days after that last post my dog Eli got hit by a car and died right outside my house. It was one of the saddest thing I've ever dealt with. I cried every day for a week. I still get teary when I talk about it sometimes, but for the most part things are getting better. My mom and I are going to look at a puppy on Sunday so Adam will have someone to keep him company. Hopefully it will bring some life back to him because he hasn't been eating much lately. He hasn't been playing much lately, either. He always looks so sad and lonely. I dream about Eli sometimes. I sure do miss him.

School is the same, for the most part. I haven't been able to drag myself out of bed this past week, but I think I'm okay with it considering things start in full swing next week. Well, kinda. Spring break is the week after, but who's counting?

Also, I'm officially back on the market now, so if Justin Timberlake is reading this, look me up.

I'm generally happy these days. Things are going well personally. I have the best best friend there is, I have a cute pup (singular), I have a car and a job that I love more than any person should, and I just feel good. I hope it gets warm soon, though, because then summer will be here soon and I just love the summer. :)

Thursday.

I wish that I didn't have to do schoolwork anymore. It's not that it's particularly difficult; I would just rather do nothing than do most anything. My classes are all enjoyable (for the most part), and I don't so much mind going to them, but homework just really cramps my style.

Lost is back on. I really don't have much to say about that except that it's awesome, but that goes without saying.

I've been failing the social part of life lately, which is nothing new. I don't talk to anybody, save my best friend. I don't have anything new or exciting to say. It's all just the same old shit. School, work, laziness, etc. I should work on fixing it, but the laziness is overwhelming...

I'm eating a turkey and salami sandwich at 8 in the morning. I don't see a problem with it.

This is the New Year.

So many things have changed since the last post. So many things. Except I'd still love an XBox 360.



Here's to 200-mine, and all the things to come.

A milli a milli a milli

It's the middle of November now, and so far so GHEY.

I've been super lonely lately, but I am hanging out with more and more friends and that's helping. Not enough, though. Sucks. I'm a way good girlfriend.

The semester is coming to a close, which means the workload has gotten more intense and certainly more urgent, but I'm still writing in my blog instead of doing research for my Global Issues presentation, so...

I've been playing a lot of N64 lately. I need more games. I have four controllers and Mario Party, so if anyone wants in, you know where to find me.

I can't fucking wait for Christmas this year. But I hope everyone gets as high off of the family being together as I will, because they're not going to get much in the actual gifts department. Maybe I'll donate money to the Human Fund.

The Great Pumpkin.

Here's my Christmas list so far:

• new battery for my computer
• X Box 360 (with Halo, duh)
• Foosball Table
• framed artwork for my walls
• new sheets
• new hamper

I'm sure there will be more. I'm really trying to enhance my bachelor pad.


I can't wait until Thanksgiving. It's going to be so delicious.


I decided to be Peter Pan for Halloween. Sara is Tinkerbell. We're so cute.

Block.

I am genuinely excited to be voting in the upcoming Presidential election. I'm only 20, so this will be my first one, and boy what an election to start with! This election is (arguably) more important than any other elections in my life time (so far). On top of that, I have been following Barack Obama since I was a sophomore in high school, and now I get to vote for him! For President! It really is incredible; this is quite a landmark in my life. I feel like it's a sort of milestone for growing up, too, which is also neat.

School is going well. I had my first physics test today and I'm confident about 60% of it. College physics is a lot different (and more difficult) than high school physics was. I went to school early to study with two girls that I made friends with in that class; we got breakfast in the commuter cafe and mostly talked about boys and parents and sex and (some) physics - but mostly how we didn't understand it. I did get some really great french toast sticks, though. I wish I was eating them now.

I really like my schedule so far; the days get progressively easier and I don't have classes on Fridays. Monday is my longest day, Tuesday is chicken Tuesday, Wednesday after work I go to cycling class at the gym, Thursday after work is boot camp (gym) and The Office, and Friday I get to car pool to morning care with Sara. I have a new Saturday morning activity now, too - YMCA youth basketball games. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Sara and I went for the first time last week, and a bunch of our Y kids play and I shot hoops with them afterward. It was really awesome to see how happy they were to have their staff there cheering them on. I seriously love my job and those kids more than anything in the world.

So I guess things are going really well for me. I'm still not dating anyone, but that's okay because I have plenty of friends and cute puppies and family and homework to keep me occupied. I still get lonely but that's okay because I think everyone does. I'm sad that I've had writer's block for a really long time because I miss writing a lot. I think I'm just going to push through it and write until I knock down that wall. I know it's in there somewhere, I just have to find it again. Maybe tomorrow after work I'll go out into the woods somewhere with a notebook and just fill up a few pages, even if it sucks.

And in case John McCain is reading this:
It's pro-choice, not pro-abortion.
