    Yep, those are the five words and I shan't go into detail about them at all. Just moving on along.  Life has been going on, working long days and then randomly drinking bottles of champagne on my nights off to sleep well and awake slightly queasy. Realizing that most of the television shows I got into a habit of watching are done with, which means more time  dedicated to books and movies as I want to see a few.  The other day I saw Pans Labyrinth, and I loved it.  I think Andrew wants to see Apocolypto and John Rambo, haha. Still, looking forward to some movie viewing fun.
    Bought a new dress yesterday and I absolutely love it. 
    Today is orientation at OU and I am nervous, but I get to find out whether or not I want to go for an English degree or what have you and I get to register for classes, which is exciting.  Finally got Andrew to agree to go with me, as he will use the time to possibly explore the campus and study his calculus, the class that reaffirms my distrust of math.  I am excited about OU in the fall, it is always nice to  begin a new chapter in ones life, something about progress I am sure.  Nervous, anxious, but generally speaking excited and eager. 
    This summer will call for: Angel's wedding, Harry Potter, and well... those are the main events I am looking forward to. June 23rd, wowza for Angel's wedding, another event that I am strangely anxious but mostly eager for.  Harry Potter should be self explanatory, book 7 and movie 5, am rereading OoTP followed by HBP. And then rereading The World According to Garp, because I love that book and finally got it back.
      Well.... I am off to do something.

Laziness abound when it comes to writing in this blog.  I'll blame it on life and being sick, though admittedly my illness was only a couple of days long--it still was a bother.  Does anyone actually enjoy being sick?

Angel's wedding shower was nice, as wedding showers go.  Most showers tend to bore me, but I still find myself wanting and liking to go to these things--maybe just the feeling of being included? Or it is the fact I am a female? I really do not know.  Back to Angel though, she looked so beautiful.  California really has treated her well, she had a pretty hair cut, she looked healthy, skinnier than I remember. Most importantly, she looked happy. Ecstatic. We also met her fiancee a gorgeous Brazilian by the name of Leo.  He was funny, entertaining and from what I can gather, he seems like a genuinely nice boy. So, I approve not that it matters.  Their wedding is in June, in Michigan.  Lovely.

Other than that, nothing else has been happening.  Just work and school.  This weekend there will be parties that I plan on attending, though not indulging in any booze, as I have been fighting an illness of some sort.  Tonight, Andrew and I are meeting my Mom up at Applebee's, ooh in a half hour. Fun.

Today is a friend's wedding shower.  I feel weird calling her a friend still, we are definitely not as close as we were back in the day, but we still find ourselves randomly making phone calls and every year around Christmas when I hear "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" I think of leaving her messages with that song playing, on repeat. It is just strange to me, more than anything, that I am at the age where becoming engaged, getting married, and popping out children isn't too far fetched for anyone I grew up with.  It is an unsettling realization to me, cynically I say because I'm terrified of the people I went to high school with raising children, oh the fears of that future.  Honestly, I just don't like the realization being up front that I am getting older, I am an adult, and I need to act like it.  I like that information in the background, far far into it.

Well, I am sitting at my Dad's awaiting for Aimee to arrive.  I probably should call Kristi as well... reconnecting with friends, fun.

At least today is a brilliantly nice looking day and warm.  Andrew and I went for a short walk yesterday, maybe after the wedding shower I can get one of the girls to walk around a park with me.  Spring almost feels in the air, but I do know that in a few days or a few weeks at most it'll be snowing and cold again. 

Mm... I love outdoors.

Toodles.

Woo. That was fun, wasn't aware I had so much Dropkick Murphys, I guess somethings never change.  Just chillaxing, not doing much.  Should be studying but as always the internet is more appealing.  Tonight are my guilty pleasures: Lost and America's Next Top Model.  I can't help it.  The Shield should be starting up and I am excited, apprehensive and unsure if I'll be able to watch this upcoming season, considering what happened at the end of last, damn.

An old friend of mine is getting married, we used to be real close but then our paths diverged as we got into different things, mainly she wanted to go to raves, parties, and experiment.  I, on the other hand began to lame trek of school, books, and dabbling in learning about politics. It is strange, her wedding shower is on Sunday, her wedding is this summer.  I feel like any one I went to school with, let alone anyone I spent ample and quality time with is far too young to get married--but if it is what she wants, so be it.  My brother was married at her age, and his marriage seems to be running smoothly, and my parents were married at this age and that lasted until my Dad collided with midlife crisis, debt, and other issues I wasn't paying attention to.. but their marriage lasted about 20 years. Maybe, age isn't issue just life is the issue when it comes to marriage.  I don't know, I am still under the impression that I don't ever want to marry, but time will tell.

It is just strange.
