This summer has ended infinitely more pleasantly than it started (or middled, for that matter). There is a small handful of thoughts and people who make me feel wonderful - one of those thoughts being what's going to happen a year from now. School will be over. I can do something. I can go somewhere. I have all these options and fantastic ideas and desires and it's overwhelming in such a good way.
I've got good classes this semester and great teachers. I've got a job that requires no dress code and no extra driving and no long hours and will look very good on a resume and that I won't passionately hate. I've got two great trips planned between now and January. I've got a small group of friends in Eau Claire that provide (and will continue to provide) hilarious and epic and wonderful weekend escapes from the day-to-day. I've got a great relationship with my parents, a nice tan, and enough money to comfortably have fun without feeling guilty or worthless. And, potentially best of all, I have a few indescribably special people waiting patiently for me 1200 miles away with open arms whenever I'm able to return to them.
I fervently believe that the next few years are going to be, for the most part, unbelievably happy and crazy and new and wonderful and exciting. I cannot, cannot, cannot wait.
We were lost inside a long, dark summer
We were runnin' down a nowhere road
We were lookin' for a light in the middle of the night:
A place that felt like home.

How the fuck does anyone gain freshman 15 when you can't afford extra snacks, the meals aren't that tasty and there are only three of them a day, hills are all over the place and you walk everywhere, and there's a gym and an ITG Dedicab near your dorm? I don't understand. I'm going to lose like 10 pounds.
Yeah, I had fun. But most of the people I met were upperclassmen at the Dedi... Ho well, my life doesn't change that much apparently.

This is a reminder to listen to Video Game Zombies Episode 25 for this week. It's a little hecktic and the voice quality is off a bit for the first half (completely my fault, I had a few settings wrong) but definitely worth listening to.
Also, help us out and subscribe to us on itunes. If enough people subscribe to us, we'll break the top 100 gaming podcasts and It'll make us happy. You don't even have to listen right away, just subscribing and and letting it download our show for a week or two helps our ranking tremendously.

Today was one of the best days of my life. i got so much free food it was amazing. the food included hot dogs, pizza, pop tarts, french toast sticks, pot roast, sloppy joes, sushi, french fries, chicken fries, potato chips, energy drinks, and coke. so many more free samples too. I LOVE COLLEGE.
tomorrow: first football game of the year!
Just an old friend coming over now to visit you and
That's what I've become
I let myself in though I know I'm not supposed to but
I never know when I'm done
And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor round your body glistens in the shower
And I want to stay right here and go down on you for an hour
Or stay, and let the day just fade away
In wild dedication, take the moment of hope
And let it run, and never look back at all the damage we have done now
To each other

I truly, truly feel that the reason I'm not at the Yankees game tonight is because I went to the Hong Kong and sang "Sweet Caroline" at karaoke after having one too many.
The ghost of Babe Ruth is probably smiting me from heaven above. Forgive me Bambino, for I have sinned.
In better news, I'm being proactive by taking classes at a local college that will get me admitted to the nursing program. This will be kind of cool, since with my schedule arrangement, I can work and not bust a nut and be able to save money...
...also, there have been a lot of cool people wandering into and back into my life lately who have been shaking up the typical work-eat-sleep dynamic, and for that, I am truly grateful.

So, I'm in college.
I thought it would register once I got here, or maybe once my parents left, but it still hasn't. It's really hot in here but I like having a space that I can mostly call my own, and I like the idea of taking care of myself and my parents being at home. It's cool. I'm going to miss Dave and Erica and Julie and a lot of people in Boston. But it's alright, I think I'll like it here. You can't really go wrong with like, 30,000 people.
It's still pretty weird though.

| i have silly dreams sometimes |
[Friday,
August 29th, 2008] |
okay, so i had at least two ridiculous dreams last night. i had at least 3 but i only remember two because they were silly and i don't even understand how my brain comes up with this sort of stuff sometimes.
okay, so first dream. i was in las vegas for some reason and i was hanging out with a bunch of professional poker players. you know, typical dream stuff. anyway, there was some high stakes cash game going on and jennifer harman lost a really big pot and lost a ton of money and left the table and was talking to me and was saying stuff like "I'M SO ON TILT RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT TO GAMBLE ON STUFF AND GET IT ALL BACK" so i was like "hey hey, just calm down."
so then she says to me "hey do you have Magic cards?" and i'm like "what? like cards to do magic tricks with?" and she was like "no, i mean like Magic: The Gathering. i really want to play it against somebody for money right now." unfortunately, not only do i not own Magic cards, but i don't even know how to play Magic. I don't even know how that ended up in a dream of mine. i told her "sorry, i don't. my friend Josh does though and he would love to play Magic for money." i turned around expecting "oh, it's a dream, Josh will probably be right behind me with Magic cards and i'll get to watch them play it for money" but nope, he wasn't there. it's okay though, i didn't really want to spend my dream watching people play Magic. that game is lame. the dream ended shortly after and i THOUGHT i woke up...
however, that was not the case.
when i "woke up" i found out that i was still in a dream. but it was one of those dreams where i thought it was real life because it was in my room and things were mostly the same (i say mostly the same because everything in my room was how it is in actual life, except for some reason there was a giant cardboard cutout of Hitler standing in the middle of the room).
i didn't think the cardboard cutout of Hitler being in my room was odd though. it was one of those things where it makes sense in the dream. anyway, i remember noticing that it was still really early and i wanted to go back to, but i was scared to. i was for some reason under the impression that if i went back to sleep, then in my dream the cardboard cutout of Hitler that was standing in my room would come to life, and i didn't want that to happen, mostly because i have quite a few friends that are Jewish and i wouldn't want their lives in jeopardy. so basically i stayed awake for awhile (which wasn't really awake since this entire thing was a dream anyway) and i eventually decided to just break the cardboard cutout of Hitler and throw it away so it wouldn't bother me. then i went back to "sleep" and had a third dream that i don't remember but then i woke up.
now that i am awake, i'm thinking that why would there ever be a cardboard cutout of Hitler in my room? who would buy that? not me, and definitely not my jewish roommate. do they even make cardboard cutouts of Hitler? probably not. what weird dreams.

This is what victory looks like. My sweet interview outfit.
( my sexy new blazer. )
-Mickey D's for breakfast. Good start, ahahaha.
-So, Nesi and I drove to Columbus Wednesday night because we had our second interviews with H&M. Nesi was interviewed first and came out telling me that Ashley, the manager who did the interview, said it takes about a week to get back to people about actually getting the job.
Well, I go in for the interview and once we finish Ashley says to me, "Can you call Nesi back in? We'd actually like to offer BOTH OF YOU sales positions TODAY." Are you kidding me. They took into consideration how far we live and decided they wanted to hire both of us on the spot. So much for having to wait another week! Rewarding ourselves: Nesi got hot pink pants and I got myself that stripey blazer. We're hot shit.
-I appreciate Nesi so much. She is too incredible for words,
-Thanks again, Brian, Megan, Bin, Derek for randomly letting us crash. And letting me sleep in that Star Wars pillow on the floor. hahaha.
-Car got 375.6 miles on one tank of gas. Sweet. It shows 370 but I had to keep driving until I got to a gas station, hahahaa.
-After a NesiPirin nap, I picked up Kevbo Bevko Kevinbonobo homobo bo bo to go play ITG2. All I have to say is that we talked about the most ridiculous things including what men and bears have in common LOL to getting lost trying to find Best Buy to DRATINI! Man. ITG is fun now. Noobs are not.
-Went to P2W to meet up with Steve, Ryan and Jimmy. Kevin and Steve decided it was bash Jimmy night. It was sort of funny. Okay, it was really funny. Kevin is a piece of shit and AAAd LOM extra stage and then OMES. Stupid hahahaha but normal.
-Applebee's following. Two words. MY DICK. Such good times. Hahaha, I definitely don't question why Kevin has been practically one of my best friends for so long, hahaha. And Ryan is sweet and I really miss hanging out with Steve. Too many funny things happened to recap it all.
- Excited for Michigan O Clock. See you sexy bitches tonight.
-Lastly, I'd just like to say that I love Joshua Vester. He came into my life a little more than a year ago and has since swept me off my feet. Such happiness in me. My heart is filled to the brim, ready to spill. I'm so lucky to have you in my life and no one compares, absolutely no one. I can now honestly say that I don't think I've ever wanted someone quite as much as I want and love Josh. Ahh, so many things to wish for.

The Iliad? |
] |
My nightmares have started again. I've doubled my anxiety medicine and I have a prescription for my bi-polar stuff which is 4 times what I was taking last week.
I just want to be okay. I'm so tired of this.
I won't be working more than a day a week, I have too many memories related to stuff there to really be able to bear it much. I'm gonna have to find a new job unless my next raise is fairly substantial, which I doubt it will be. Also, my back is giving me a lot of problems again, probably from carrying my heavy book sack all over campus because I CANNOT get a decent parking spot to save my life on campus.
I have no idea what I'm doing tonight despite trying to make plans all week. Pretty bummed about that. I might just hang out with Derek and have dinner and watch a movie. Yay being social.
Adam came last night and raped me at Smash for a while. I was doing really well when he first got there but after I started to get tired, I started missing techs and it was pretty much over. Marth is the best character in that game, by far.
Also recently I've watched:
Raging Bull: Really good, but a bit overrated. Really funny at some parts.
The Air I Breathe: Too short, but good. I love stuff that ties in a ton of different stories.
Numb: If you've ever felt like you had/have a mental illness, you will relate way too much. Good as hell.
I think I might apply to this academic frat. It's very non-traditional, not Greek aside from the name and a few of my friends like Parth, Sadhana and Savanna are in it. I could definitely stand to know more people here and be more social. My room is the most depressing place in the existence of ever. Everything is a reminder that I'm not good enough.
I've been more in control in some ways, but I just hurt more deep down. I miss my best friend so much. Eating lunch alone on campus gets depressing.
I'm sad about how much of the Iliad I've had to sparknotes just from lack of time. I really enjoy reading it but it's really tedious and time consuming. I've just had too much on my mind and too much stuff to do.
I hope everybody else who's been crazy and hurting is doing alright. You know who you are.

So Brandon and I went shopping yesterday and purchased things exclusively for the moogster.
He received, as a result of this trip: a new, very fashionable carrying case, an indoor playpen, and new bunny litter!! It was a very successful trip for bunnykind.
I will be going to Waterloo on Saturday for more human things(earrings??) to wear when I am on TV!
In case you hadn't heard, I'm kind of a big deal.

| Question to You #4 |
[Friday,

How long do your showers last? I know times can vary depending on what you do, so state that in your answer. For me, usually no longer than 5 minutes, unless I'm deep in thought, in which I just stand there for an extra 5-10 minutes.
