    Wow. It was been quite awhile since I last wrote anything.

    Well, nothing much has been going on.  Oh, the typicals of summer, really. Lounging about, read, swimming, and playing video games.  The greenhouse is closed for the season and I really need to be looking for a new job, sigh. Been eagerly anticipating July and all the Potterness that it will bring. Nothing really stands out, my life has become a blur of nothingness, kind of. Hmm... Oh! Suppose, an interesting thing that did occur is I went camping with Aimee and Elliott, completely spur of the moment, we ended up cooking veggie burgers, sitting up and chatting, tenting it up, and then returning back home the next day, it was a nice break from things.

    Andrew's birthday was also amazing, I purchased him Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii, and he seems to be loving it.  He also ended up getting a kitten from his parents, we went to the Humane Society to pick one out and settled on a black, long-haired kitten. He is named Simon Belmont, he is roughly 8 - 9 weeks old, we had to get him fixed before we brought him home and then he was fighting off a virus of some sort-- but he seems to be doing fine, he is friendly, a trouble maker and insists on sleeping with us every night, haha. Oh! And he loves video games, in particular Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, which I've fallen obsessed with.  Simon is truly an Andrew cat :D

    Tonight is orientation for OU, how exciting.  I am nervous.  Andrew and Garrett signed up for the same day, so we are all journeying there around 4:30 today. I am eager to register for classes, find out what OU is apparently all about and hopefully, work towards my degree that will hopefully land me a "real job".
 
    This weekend is also Angel's wedding, am very excited.  Carpooling with Aimee, hopefully we don't get lost. I think it'll be an amazing wedding and I'm sure, Angel will look beautiful. But, I feel antsy and thus, must be off.
 

What is the most creative gift you have ever given or received?

I like this question. Last August for mine and Andrew's two year, we wrote each other stories because we were both broke but still wanted to give each other something.  Mine was a collection of very short stories based on different time eras of a typewriters life, and focused on the owners of it from when it was brand new to old, I liked the idea of everyone being connected by that typewriter, and I really love delving into the lives of characters, he seemed to like it and I may expand on that story idea sometime this summer.  The story he wrote me was surreal, based on a pig's head, it was freaky but I really liked it. These were nice gifts, a nice change of pace from purchasing each other something.
    Just experienced two lovely days off from work, its a relief but tomorrow will be an 8am-5pm shift, which is nice and shorter than 9am-7pm, but still long.  Sunday is the short shift, 1-5pm and then a complete mystery as to what next week will hold in store for me.  It is nice though, being outside all day at work and working with my hands, feeling the fresh air and looking at some very pretty flowers.  I have no clue what I'll do with myself once June rolls around, aside from looking for new employment.
    Need to purchase my Mom a gift, hmm.....
    Oh, also hungout with Aimee briefly on Wednesday night and hope to go the bar with her sometime next week, get our drink on and enjoy time in each others company. 
    Grandma's birthday was yesterday and the family is celebrating it this weekend, going to Ohio, and I have to decline because I can't take the time off of work which makes me sad, but hopefully I get to see her soon, maybe my Mom and I will take her out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
 

I opted to name my Thinkpad, Marlow. I absolutely adored that character in Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, I couldn't tell you why but I did and so this baby shall get it's name from that.  I like naming things, and I think it'll discourage me from wanting kids because I'd feel guilty naming my kid after a laptop or something, at least that is my theory as to why no children for me, ever.

I also damn enjoy Rilo Kiley, especially the song: A Ma/Me/Then Jim.  Every time I hangout with Aimee, she is playing one of their CDs and generally, this song.  We both got into Rilo Kiley around the same time, but separately and it is just nice to have someone else to listen to their music with, I mean, Andrew enjoys it as well and I dunno... ramble.

Last night Aimee, Robert, and I went to Shorty's.  Aimee and I were desperate for some activity and me being the genius that I am opted to call my twin brother, Adam, as he's generally out doing something all the time. Apparently, on Monday and Tuesday nights Shorty's have an Open Jam night and people can bring their instruments and jam out.  My brother of course played, Create Evolve played and a few others.  It was nice to be out, we drank and shouted over the music and had a good time.  This Friday there is a party going on at the newest party house, and Andrew seems willing to go because it is mostly his friends going and hosting this.  I am glad that I am invited, and I am glad to be getting out of the basement more, even if I am stuck being the designated driver.

I do enjoy my quiet time, I do enjoy small crowds over large crowds, but sometimes I want to be out and party, let myself go and enjoy everything.  I am glad that Andrew is more willing to get out,  it always felt awkward going to his friend's parties without him.

Past Saturday was a game night at my brother Paul's house, it was fun.  Chill and relaxed, we played mostly Apples to Apples and then  a game of Cranium, but I enjoyed it.  We had work the next morning so a nice relaxing game night is always good. Also had a test yesterday in my World Civ. II class, I think I did decent and its my fault for not studying until Sunday, I literally studied all day trying to get the terms down and thinking of the essay questions, one would think I'd learn by now but I enjoy procrastinating, I am sure.

I am off to shower. :]

I have decided to go on a diet, thus far I am not succeeding, haha. My target wait is to lose about ten pounds, we shall see.  I don't know, Andrew is on the diet with me, we bought decent food last night and some new bras for me.  Mostly, I hope do start sticking with this diet, I feel good when I eat right and when I workout, so... I just need to stop being such a lazy ass. 

Again, we shall see.

Boredom strikes, I attempted to reinstall WoW onto this computer, but it refuses to acknowledge anything so... no WoW for me tonighht, Andrew is grinding fiercely as he is level 69, and he plans on pulling an all nighter, maybe I'll read and study all night... or go to bed early so I can play while he catches up on sleep in the morning ;o)  Oh wellz.

This is my life, wow.

You're trapped in a (temporarily) out of order elevator - who would you like to be trapped with?

I am torn between choosing Stephen Colbert or Zach Braff. If I could pick both, I'd be happy.  I suppose, they would be the celebrities that I would pick. Of anyone I honestly know, it would be Aimee.  Mostly because we need some alone and girl time, its been awhile.  Fictional characters? Oh, the list would be endless: Marlow, Sirius Black, Dumbledore, Garp, and yeah... Being stuck in an out of order elevator, how fun. 

Get to go and meet my Mom for some Applebee's today, how delicious. Get to sit in the basement, study, read, and watch television for most of the day as Andrew plays WoW... Debating whom I should call, forgetting that I may have plans tonight and hopefully they do not fall through as I am bored.  Tomorrow calls for a party, so activity finally.

Bleh.  My life is boring, I guess.

The past few days have been real swell.  I had dinner with family at my cousin's house and it was loads of fun.  Then I spent the night at Aimee's, we watched some movies and just caught up, spent the next day together, shopped, and just nice.  Midnight rolled around last night, Andrew was drunk and wanted to see if he could get a copy of The Burning Crusade, so I took him to Meijer and we lucked out, found the last copy out of place, the person in line let us move ahead of him, there were diet root beers and window scrapers in our line, it was swell.  He even let me make a Draenei shaman, haha. He's been playing a majority of the time, leveling his warlock.  I know the next few weeks are going to be boring, but I have books and school to occupy my time with, while he is leveling.  Oh, the glorious discussions of WoWcraft that his friends are going to be having, day in and day out. Oh well, as long as they are happy, as long as I have loads of books to keep me occupied and as long as I can level my shaman when he is in class or otherwise occupied, then I am happy.

I'm just glad it all worked out for him, I understand the excitement of wanting something so badly and then amazingly getting it, when his friends kept warning him that he probably wouldn't because he didn't preorder.  Hah. I only ask that he comes and stands in line with me when book seven comes out, and chances are he'll be purchasing a copy also so he is more than down. 

Yeah.  Ladies night might be switched to Tuesdays, so hopefully I see my friends tonight.  I should call them, I hope everyone has a good day.

How did you meet your current, or most recent, significant other?

The very first time I met Andrew, I was sixteen and my hair was growing back from it's mohawk. He had goregous long hair, he was goregous himself.  We sat in his basement and watched The Wizard of Oz to Pink Floyd, he also tried to talk me into playing EverQuest, but I said nay. Theeen, I ended up transfering schools and we lost contact with each other for a few years.  Then, when I was nineteen, we met up again. Started hanging out frequently, then at a sex shop we had gone to with a few of our friends an employee asked which of us ladies were his, and he responded: "I guess, her." Which was me.  We've been dating ever since, haha.

He was the guy I always liked from afar, it was awkward at first but then it became cool.  I honestly, wouldn't have wanted it to work out any other way. :o]
