Erik, I am *so* so glad you're ok, and I hope your car is too. Lemme know when you'll be home tonight, I'll give you a call..


Nine hours of sleep and I'm all groggy and shite...I think cos the air in this room's so impossibly dry and cos I woke up like five times during the night... the first time having been at 4am (after going to bed at 2), waking up scared half-shitless cos in my dream I'd seen the devil. And I don't mean like, y'know, Macphisto - Mackie we like. It wasn't clear, a shadowy shape off beneath some trees, but it just..I don't think I've ever been so scared as I was in the dream, then I woke and was still kinda freaked out. Got up and went to the bathroom and was blinded by light but met Haruna there and my mind settled back down.
Like having Britt as a roommate but I miss having Haruna as one.
Had some other random dreams but nothing really worth recounting, relatives and family friends and daffodils tied in bundles to a tree and motorcycles and bike tricks and me climbing all through a crab apple tree. *laughs, shakes head* I don't even know..


Classes start today, my schedule is as follows for those who want to know when I'll be around:

M-W-F
10-11: Music History
1-2: The Greek Way (Philosophy)
2-3: Language in Society
3-4.30: Computer Science Overview (M-W only)

T-Th
1-3.30: Drawing III
4-6: All-College Band

Yes it's terribly lopsided, but that's how my schuedule always is. *laughs* And yes, I'll undoubtedly inadvertantly sleep thru Music History a lot, but again, that usually happened last semester anyway. Same professor tho, so I've three days of leeway I think.
..just glad things start off with an easy-day, though as usual Drawing has me nervous - I'm not even a real art student and here I am going into an upper-level drawing class with actual art majors...just a little intimidating. But after a little while in class last semester I felt better cos I was doing as well as most in there.. and I'm actually fairly confident in my drawing ability right now, so maybe I'll be ok. ^_^
(Along with the U2 posters, I put some of my photos up on the wall...and also one of the Mackie drawings I did for my final sequence last semester..it's the one where he's standing with his back to the viewer, and the other demon (which may or may not be Lucifer, have yet to decide) is holding him... Britty said she can't stop looking at it, she's completely in awe of it. *smiles*)

FIIIIIIIIIIINALLY BACK!!!!!!!
Am in Fredonia, got here last night around 7, set up my computer...and couldn't find my internet cable. Had thought I'd left it here, but I guess the one I'd been using at home *was* the one I'd had here before...
And so, was INTERNETLESS ALL NIGHT LONG. Cos I'd ganked Britt's cable but then she came back within like half an hour. So I had to give it back. *giggles*
But yeah. It was bad.
Went down to the bookstore since the friggin' bus into town apparently don't start running 'til tomorrow >_<## and got a new cable. Alllllll goood now. ^________^

Contact info is again in my aim profile, for anyone who needs it - address/phone # change from last semester, so check it. ^_^

*smiles*
yay for Erik stopping by today tho he said he wouldn't. good way to wake up. ^_^

...not-so-yay for the fact that 'Nanda looks like shite pre-shower. meh.
*giggles*

anyway, right. need to pack like mad. will..much as this hurts..have to pack up Lawrence before 4pm, and won't be back on 'til probably 7pm or so. ... *twitch* ...

1.19.2004
 
Ok I lied, have one more thing before I really leave.....

Daffy... I'm really proud of you for standing up so strongly. I know it can't be easy, and I know how much it's gonna hurt and how hard it's gonna be for the next while...but I'll be only a few dorms over, and, you know I have no life, anytime you need me, I'll be around. *smiles*


And if you need some random cuteness to cheer you up, Megs found a series of screenshots of an adorable Adam sneezing. He's the cutest ever. *giggles* (video they're capped from is somewhere on u2.com, we're just not sure where yet. but he all curls up and sneezes and then laughs and Edge pats his knee and it's adorable. *g*)

for best viewing, save to your computer then flip thru. ^_^ 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8

...and for anyone who thinks I'm a freak for thinking this cute..hey, at least I'm not alone. ^_^
(and it's not like it's a pic with snot flying. goodness. they're pics of *Adam*, he's dignified and sweet. see? yay. ^_^)
 
we like aim conversations. and "corrupting little high-school boys", as, according to some sources, I find great amusement in doing. *g* (tho I still contend they were corrupt to begin with...)

me: anyway, why're you so embarrased?? *laughs* it's not like I necc. think it's 100% true, and not like I think it's necc. a bad thing anyway..

him: O_O
him: perv
me: *laughs*
me: oh you call me that anyway, shush *g*
him: but this time ihave some thing to base it on
me: ehm.. only vaguely
him: bah u know its true
me: mmmm..idk. a lot of things randomly go thru my mind, but half are unbidden, and I act on, what, maybe 8% of anything I think of anyway
him: yeah casue if u acted on 15% of it i'd be tied up in ur room still with no pants on
me: *laughs*
me: wellllll...
him: yes i am right
me: I think that'd be a little higher'n 15%, but... *g*
him: so if u acted on 100% of it i'd be screwed literally
me: yep
him: abotu 100times over
me: but I'm not about to act on it 100%
me: *laughs* uhm..not quite, but..
him: deart god i was kjokingO_O
me: *laughs*
him: sicko
me: oh but it's fun to freak you out ^_^

and a bit later...


him: fine i'm puttign on likee 3 sweat shirts
me*laughs*
him: so nayah
me: but that's the nice thing about this being just over aim..I can keep the other image and push that one aside ^_^
him: oh fuck
me: ^________^
him: stop malesting me in ur mind
me: *laughs*
me: hey, *you* put the image in there yourself, so...
him: keep the mango out of this [note to megs: yes that means what you think it means...shortly after the Mackie-mango incident, I was just saying that sometimes things got a little, ehm, interesting, and he pestered me 'til I gave him an example..that was the first that came to mind...ehm...yeah. *blushes and dies*]
me: oooooooo good idea *G*

him: :::slams head into desk:::
me: oh, don't do that, you'll hurt yourself *giggles*
him: noi shit
him: really??
me: 9_9
me: anyway, you must be enjoying the fact that you know these images are running around in my head, otherwise you wouldn't keep giving them *g*
him: never mind
me: ^_^
him: ( Y )
me: and you think this is going to help your case? *g*
him: blow me
him: i mean
him: gahhh h
me: *bursts out laughing*
him: :::punds head in to comp desk::::
me: *giggling* I think I win

*giggles merrily* wheeeeeee. ^_^


p.s. no, I don't date boys who can spell. must be a thing, Britty has her Johns, I have the boys who can't spell... (note: Blake can't spell either, so he falls into this as well. *laughs*)
p.p.s. I'm only teasing - the population in general can't spell, and I make some moronic mistakes myself...and I'm nowhere near verbally-normal (or really any *sort* of normal), 800s on the verbal part of the SAT aren't normal, therefore... ... ...it's apparently *me* who's the freak for being able to spell.
That..works out oddly.
...
never the fuck mind, I need to pack and then sleep. *laughs* g'night all.
 
*sighs* Far too much going on to be going back to Fredonia tomorrow evening...

Had a wonderful day with Erik alllll yesterday.. despite being sleepy cos I focused so hard on not oversleeping that I slept too lightly all night. Also, forgot that Strong Bad's Time Machine (aka a clock program with an alarm - the only alarm in my room just now that'd wake me up) announces the time every half an hour.
And then SOMEONE had to park in the wettest slushiest part of the parking lot which lead to us having soaked - and freezing - feet. (In my case, for like the next 4 hours cos jeans don't dry quickly, esp. in slightly-chilly basements.) *laughs* But it made things interesting anyway.
Got subs, watched a friggin' ton of Futurama...or, well, sorta-watched...ehm...yeah. *giggles, shakes head* And we'll not even *try* getting into who started what again.. *g*
Finagled a bit of extra time, so I didn't get home 'til nearly 1am. Which was awesome. ^_^

Then, was able to see him again for a little while this afternoon, which was really nice...
*sighs* ...only I didn't want to let go, I choked up and nearly cried with him still in my arms, I'm gonna miss him so much.....
..he sees so much in me (more, in some ways, than I'd like cos I'm so afraid of one day letting him down)...but he can't see how I can see so much in him... yeah he has his faults and makes his mistakes, but so do we all...but there are so many good things about him, few people in this world care so deeply about others, and even fewer guys...funny comments are easy enough to find, but to find that with a heart behind it..that's a little harder.
..I could go on, but y'all'd stop reading. :p
but..yeah. I know we'll be ok, and I know I'll manage alright...although I do know there'll be days I'll miss him far too much.. aim and the phone are at least something. pathetic substitutes, yes, but, something all the same.


Anyway, yeah. Have mad packing and all to do, which I am very effectively putting off just now. Laundry is a pain in the arse when your dryer's friggin' busted. >_<# meh. Leaving as close to 4pm as possible tomorrow, Dad won't get outta work 'til then so yeahhh.

O_O
*whimpers*
I'm going to have to be computer-less for multiple hours again.
That's just bad.

..and as I recall, my desk back in Fredonia is still covered in STUFF, so not only do I have to move everything in, but I have to put all of *that* *away* before I can get Lawrence back up.
*siiiiiighs*
...gonna be a loooong fookin' day...

Haruna and Jen are back already, not sure offhand when everyone else will be.
...tho I hope Britt's either all moved back in or doesn't get there 'til after I've gotten my stuff in, cos she's nearer the doorway and she always has mad tons of stuff with her, so I'm like not even gonna be able to get in the door if she's moving back in just as I am. *laughs, shakes head*

..truly can't believe break's over already though...last year it dragged on *forever*, which's why I had plans to do all these drawings and stories and cooking and sewing and organising and whatever this year...only very little of it happened. Partly cos once I get home, I very quickly settle into home-existance, which consists of sleeping in mad late, lounging about, playing around on the computer, talking to merani, and once in a very great while seeing people. All of this, however, manages to quite effectively take up my time. However this year, I actually saw people. Like a LOT. (Well, a lot for me, anyway.) People being mostly Erik, but also others, but admitedly a lot of break-time went to Erik and I haven't the slightest problem with that. *giggles*
January really *did* just slip through my fingers though, it's crazy... ...only yesterday did I find most of the roses finally faded, I took the remaining ones out of the vase at last and set them on top of the cabinet in my room to dry... (accidentally left the ribbon that'd been around them, and then tied around the vase, downstairs last night, found it this morning and ran it through a belt loop on my pants just so I wouldn't forget to bring it upstairs..ended up kinda leaving it there..Erik was toying with it when he came over, I started to explain where it was from but he remembered. *smiles* yay.)

Will be very good to see my suitemates again, Britty and Haruna in particular...gonna miss rooming with Haruna, but, she *is* just 12" down the hall, so... *giggles* s'all good.

And it's about time I got some fresh music in my diet again - I'm sure Britt'll have 6423894 bands that I "have GOT to hear!!!!!!" when we get back. ^_^
