I'm · all · outa · purple...

So, wow, haven't posted in forever. I guess you could say a lot of stuff has been happening, I've certainly been busy. Senioritis has kicked in hardcore (as I type this I'm procrastinating from writing an analysis of Jean-Paul Sartre's "Nausea" for my philosophy class...) but when I get to walk at the graduation ceremony in May it'll all be worth it. I'm hoping to work for about a year after graduation, then start grad school, if my financial situation allows. I'm really hoping for UCLA, but we'll see what happens. I'm thinking about going sky diving the day after graduation, and my friend Emily says she'd totally be in.

My dad's latest MRIs show that the chemo has been working very well for him, and he might be in remission, as the tumors seem to be gone for now. This is very good news. He's mellowed so much in the last few months, it's good to see his spirits improving. Thanks to everyone who's been supportive.

I'm still working at the shoe store, which is good for now. I have to say that as far as retail jobs go, it's the most pleasant one I've had. Sometimes I get scared that we'll have layoffs because our DM is a major cuntasaurus, but my boss is like, my bff, so that's good.

Curtis and I are back on for now. I love the guy, I really do, but he can be too much to handle sometimes. I broke up with him in January, but we started talking again a couple weeks ago and I couldn't help myself. He has been awful sweet lately, and hasn't voiced much jealousy. He took me out on Valentine's Day and, aside from when he showed me his "killer dance moves" and embarrassed the hell out of me, it was a good time. Sometimes I worry he loves me too much, like when he tells me he wants to marry me one day, which is sweet, but a little overwhelming. I mean, I've had worse relationships. He's very sweet when he's not jealous of anyone I talk to that may or may not have a penis. Sometimes I miss being single, simply because I don't have to worry about going somewhere with my friends that might upset my boyfriend. I just get annoyed that he doesn't trust me, because I would never cheat on him, or anyone in general.

Libby is making escargot and the kitchen is filled with many aromas. I'm going to get to my paper.

I hope all is well with everyone.

He treats me like a princess, and calls me one.
He often stops whatever he's doing to randomly walk over and kiss me, unprovoked.
He picks me up and carries me.
He brings me Gatorade and Tylenol when I wake up at 2 a.m. with a headache.
He drives 45 minutes to see me at least 3 times a week.
He's looking for a job in Keene so he can be closer to me.
He says he loves me, and I'm tempted to believe him.
I don't know how to handle this.

...when drinking heavily.

In no particular order:


* Going to The Railroad
* Going camping on some lake you've never heard of with people you've never heard of
* Drinking with people you don't know
* Skinny dipping
* Going for motor boat rides
* Breathing in whatever people tell you to breath in
* Letting your cell phone die
* Thinking you're on an island when you're really just on the other side of the lake
* FISHING
* Climbing a tree? (Think I did...)
* Making too much eye contact
* Drinking, on an empty stomach, for almost 12 straight hours
* Bringing a bottle of "Pepe Lopez" to the party
* Continuing to drink heavily, even after you toss cookies
* Bunking with people who snore
* Jamming with some guy who brought his guitar and knows just about every song on Earth
* Having access to a 30 rack of Natties
* Giving someone your ID to hold while you go swimming
* Drinking 5 beers, 1 rum and coke, 4 shots of Pepe Lopez, 2 more beers, a shot of something else, and finishing that off with 2 more beers
* Listening to, and singing, a shit load of Nirvana

So. Don't do these things. I'm pretty sure there's more that I just can't remember.

Now, if I can just get my license back from good ol' Whats-his-face, I'll be able to go to the Toadies concert tomorrow.

I have an awesome GPA.
I just won a scholarship!!!!
So far, I really enjoy my Human Skeletal Remains summer course.
A lot of good people are back in NH for the summer (even though Ty is smelly, I'm happy he'll be back tomorrow :p).
I have a grill.
My job at the library is OK, even though I could use better pay.
We're going to see a midnight show of Indy on Wednesday, even if it means I get no sleep lol.
There are three months of good weather approaching.
Lilac bushes are everywhere.
Oh, and I have too much booze for all the bottles to fit in the liquor cabinet.

Life right now is very, very good. Srsly.

This weekend was fun. Dave is back in NH for the week and I got to see him, but I had to come back to Keene since it's finals week, so I could only be in Milford for sat and sun. Sat night Nicole and I took him to Margaritas and drank probably more than we should have and ended up singing like retards in the car while trying to sober up. I still feel guilty that we didn't do shots with the waiter, I thought he was cool, but Dave and Nicole are vag-faces :p.
Sunday, a big group of us (including some people whose names I'm too rude to remember) went to see Iron Man. I had no expectations for it at all, since I don't read comic books, but it was better than I thought it would be. Mostly because of Robert Downy Jr and a couple of awesome cameos. It was still an enjoyable movie.
Later that night there was a get-together at Chip and Delia's, where once again, I drank more than I should have and ended up singing like a retard, but for the sake of Rock Band this time (which only makes me feel slightly less unfortunate :p). I know I drank too much because I actually have a hangover for the first time in a while. Good times. Chip and Delia gave me some Red Sox earrings and a Little Mermaid picture, which of course made me happy because I'm like, 3 fucking years old, apparently lol. Thanks guys :)
I really did enjoy myself and feel that the headache and upset tummy are justifiable. I hope everyone got to work on time and feels ok lol. I almost accidentally drove up to Keene with Derek's half empty bottle of absinthe in my car. That would have been bad. I'm so glad no one ended up drinking any of that. I think regular alcohol did enough lol.

I'm going to really try to have a get together at my place sometime within the next month. A BBQ kind of thing. I just want to plan it for a weekend people don't have too much stuff going on. My Seth Edward is going to be here on Saturday and the Stink-Face Tyler will be home on the 20th or something. He's counting down the days until we go see the new Indiana Jones movie. I -really- hope it doesn't suck, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I'm gonna go take more tylenol and study for some finals. Kthanxbye.

Oh yeah, happy Cinco de Mayo. I'm not even going to consider going out tonight lol
