Last Friday I turned twenty-two. The day started with working, it was rather cold and unfortunately we ended up working outside quite a bit, bleh.  After work, my cousin Rachel treated me to dinner and then Andrew and I ventured to my brother's house where the party was.  The party was a celebration of my birthday, Adam's (the twin), Susan's, and Dave's birthdays. The house quickly became rather crowded, the party was much larger than anticipated, but all in all I did have a fun time.

I like being twenty-two, mostly because it is an even number and I love even numbers. I hadn't gone out in quite awhile, so it was nice being able to be out, have a good time, see friends and family. I also received a few brilliant presents which I'll upload pictures of later. One of the gifts though, was season 5 of The Shield, so stressful but damn lovely.

Easter was nice as well, once again seeing family and enjoying time spent with them.  Andrew and I also bought ourselves a Nintendo DS, we both pitched in half and I own by selecting the color, pink.  I can't help it, the girl in me is always ready to burst out, haha.

But yeah.  I am another year older, good luck year 22.

You've found the fabled pot o' gold.  How will you spend it?

1) I would definitely buy a place of residence for Andrew and I, putting a huge chunk of money away for the monthly payments, to help until I found a better paying job or one with more hours than the Greenhouse gives us. I am really itching for a place of my own to live  and instead of sucking it up, finding a job that would make this dream come true, I hold off. Bother.

2) I would give my Mom the largest chunk of money she would accept, she could do anything she'd like with it, paying off any debt she has but I'd make sure she spent some on herself, that goes towards something strictly for her and not one of my brothers or myself.  She'll be forced to spoil herself.

3) I'd give my Dad and Stepmom some money to help them with their money troubles.  I would stress that none of it can be spent on household items they don't need, that this money is so they can quit their second job, that awful job.

4) I'd probably buy Aimee dinner every time I saw her, because she has bought me dinner so often and I owe it to her. :D

5) Lastly, a reliable car.  I really need one of those.

I like my list.  Speaking of money, I think I either misplaced $10 or was short changed that, which sucks.  Owing to being sick this week, I only worked a day this past week and most of the money will be going straight into my gas tank.  It makes me slightly depressed, also making me depressed is viagra, birth control, and health insurance policies, but I don't feel like delving into that today.

Tonight, a party, maybe it'll do me some good.

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. :]

Life has been good lately. On Saturday I went to a friend's going away party, he is leaving for California.  It seems as if a lot of people leave for or dream of leaving for California.  It was nice though, I got pretty drunk and in the morning remembered why I don't like getting that drunk, the headache taunted me all day but at least I was not pukey. I like going to "fun" parties but in retrospec I realize that at this party I just hungout with friends, people I see frequently and I only mingled slightly with those I didn't know--atleast I didn't feel awkward when mingling, the nice thing about drinking.

Anyway, I kind of like waking up early for my classes this semester, there is something nice about being done with school by noon, as opposed to going to school at noon. Another test next week for World Civ. and a test on Thursday in Logic, not too worried. I don't know... OCC has offered me ample teachers with whom to have "academic crushes" and I think I'll miss that when I transfer.. I love the passionate ones.

Life is kind of dull, I guess. At this moment, I am happy with it.  Sweet.
