My place. :)

[Jesusfreak]

So, this week has been considerably more relaxed than the past few weeks. I got all the pictures from the ballroom competition up on facebook (I took 333 pictures, about 150 of them made it online). The end result of this was being up until about 3am watching people tag other people, comments, and random friend requests from people who were tagged in the pictures. Then of course as is my luck, with 7 hours of sleep, my education professor gave us a surprise midterm. I think I did alright on it all things considered. I also got some exams handed back to me this week, which I did really well on. I got a 99 on the one I got back last night. Today and tomorrow are easy because it's just one class each day. JPCS is tonight if I remember to go. Tomorrow there's an even that's supposed to be like halloween all around the world or something like that. It sounds pretty cool. Then Sunday I get to see Phil at 6 Flags! That's gonna be fun times. And then I drive him back to his college since his mom wouldn't be able to until Monday night or something like that. I think. I have to check with him on what's going on with that.

Do you have any pictures to show us? We would love to see some of the ballroom competition. Glad you had fun. 333 pictures? Incredible. I wouldn't remember taking any of the details when I had to post them. As for the midterm, I am certain you did great. You seem to be very well prepared. Great job on the 99 grade, that is fantastic. When you see Phil, I know you will have a great time, so nothing to say there.

[Jesusfreak]

I do have tons of pictures, I might post some of them tomorrow if I remember. I would do it now, but I'm really tired and going to sleep soon.

I see Phil tomorrow! *does happy dance* The question is...pirate shirt or no pirate shirt? It's fright fest at 6 Flags so I'm considering wearing the top half of my ren faire costume.

lol it's actually not painful. Just after awhile it's mildly uncomfortable, and I don't want that for a 5 hour drive.

Well, it turns out Phil grandmother (not the one he lives with) was able to drive him back to his college, so now I'm back on my own campus. It was a fun day at 6 Flags. However, I probably won't be able to see Phil again for another 3+ weeks.

I know. T_T I actually started crying last night when I was talking to Phil online. It's so hard when all you want to do is hug someone but they're 5 hours away. This weekend is Halloween, and I know my friends wanted me to be around for that. The weekend after that Phil has a ballroom competition I think in MA. And the weekend after that he has another ballroom competition in the same city that my high school was in, which I should hopefully be able to attend, and maybe visit with him for that weekend, but I need to talk to him and work out details. The only problem is that I've got lots of projects and papers and exams coming up around that time. But yeah, 3 weeks is entirely too long to go without seeing your love. It reminds me of something Phil said towards the end of the summer before he went back to college, that makes me want to smile and cry at the same time. "Just remember, I'll see you soon, and each time you think of that, it'll be sooner than the last time."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night we left Newark on the way to Chicago and the temperature was dropping rapidly. Chicago was clear and cold.

Tonight we are flying to Memphis. At least that place will be warmer.

It's snowing.

Lucky! It hasn't by me yet.

 

I still love snow...

I love snow! When I saw it this morning I was like "omg hax." I figure it's God's way of reminding me that it's almost time for winter break.

Finally, I saw it snow for like a minute at the beginning of my lunch period. Then by the time the rest of my table had gotten there, it had stopped. So I was like "It was snowing!" and my friend was like "No it's not." LOL!

 

And it was snowing a tiny bit when my mom drove me home from school....but then it stopped.

 

I wonder when our first snow day will be...monday nov 10th would be nice, because we have the friday before and the tuesday after off, but not monday.

 

So anyway....that's my snow news!

Last night I was in a bad mood, so I went to bed early. But instead of falling asleep, I ended up having a sort of emotional breakdown and started crying. I eventually figured I wasn't going to fall asleep, so I climbed back down out of bed and went back online, where I just managed to catch Phil before he went to bed, so we talked for awhile about how I was feeling and he somehow managed to cheer me up. The odd thing was, that there was nothing that really set me off to start crying like that, and I can't even blame this one on hormones. I guess I just really miss Phil, and since I'm not used to really missing people, my brain's not sure what to do about it. And I just saw him a few days ago, and I'll see him again in a couple weeks. It's not like we're separated for months on end or something. So, it's strange.

 

Today I've been just kind of out of it, although I did manage to go out shopping with Kim and Lara so I could get black pants for my cat costume and some much needed snack food (kind of hard to gain weight when you have nothing to eat )

Some days are just tougher than others. For me, they seem to occur when I am extremely exhausted... beyond tired.

 

Luckily you were able to get online with Phil, that's the positive point of your day.

 

Hope you got lots of junk food.

Yeah, and I was pretty tired that day too. And Phil is amazing. Other guys need to take lessons from him or something.

 

As for junk food, I got 3 bags of candy. I might go out again on Saturday to get more only on sale. And I also got the pants I needed, just simple black leggings. As I told Kim and Lara (who came with me), "I haven't worn pants this tight since the 90's!" They're comfy though, and they'll be nice in the winter to wear under snow pants or long skirts.

I had to get my fur trimmed yesterday and while waiting they sat me next to this giant bowl of candy.

:o :o

Did they expect me to sit there and only eat one piece??????????????????

I was pretty bad... I must have popped about ten of those little bite-sized pieces into my mouth. It would have been in their best interest to seat me somewhere else. LOL

 

That's why I like those cool weather running tights... keep your legs nice and warm.

Way, way, way too much to do!!!

[Jesusfreak]

First class today is canceled! That gives me a little extra time today to study for tonight's exam.

[Jesusfreak]

I've been in a really bad mood for most of today, and not even for any good reason. The only thing I can think of is hormones, and I've been like this the last few months too. I'm thinking I might talk to my doctor about getting put on birth control or something to readjust my hormones. It might help me gain back the weight I tend to lose at college and clear up my skin too.

[Jesse]

Aw, that's no good. Hope you can get your hormones in line.

[Jesusfreak]

Aw, that's no good. Hope you can get your hormones in line.

Me too. Hm. Maybe it also has something to do with living on an all girls floor too. Whether it's because of the hormones or because they're mostly annoying door slamming freshmen, I'm not sure. I'm hoping to live in an on-campus apartment next semester. That will put me in a building with mostly other seniors (with honors freshmen in the building attached to ours), and my room will probably be a bit apart from the hallway anyways, since most apartments are four single rooms that share a common area and small kitchen. Also, having my own room will be nice. I love my roomie, but the little things she does are starting to get me nuts, and I'm going to have to keep odd hours because of my ELD classes and student teaching senior year. Also, having a kitchen means we can opt out of a meal plan (I'm not sure if I will or not), and we can cook our own food! And having my own room is nice for a number of obvious reasons sleep and study related, but also if Phil gets any more freedom next year, I don't have to worry about having him in the room for a weekend upsetting a roomie.

Well, the latter sure got on my nerves last year...

Nice! I highly recommend apartment living. Hopefully that comes with a private bathroom too.

I can relate to that too. Or I could last year. I can't find much to be annoyed with in my current roommate. I hope that doesn't mean I'm the annoying one. Too bad he's graduating this year.

 

Also, having a kitchen means we can opt out of a meal plan (I'm not sure if I will or not), and we can cook our own food!

 

Do you not have a kitchen at all in your current dorm? At my school all the dorms have a kitchen in the common area if it has one, or if not then there's a general one on each floor. Either way having a private kitchen is much better (and you can actually leave your stuff in there without worries!)

 

Until then, hang in there! *hug* I went through a lot of the same stress you did in my place last year.

[LifesEagle]

Our accomodation now has a rat. Horatio, are you responsible for this?

[Jesusfreak]

Apartments do have their own bathrooms, but the only downside is we're going to have to clean them ourselves instead of the cleaning people doing it every day like they do in normal housing. All buildings do have a common kitchen, but in most buildings the stove is really tiny and/or doesn't work well, and there's practically no counter space. Also, it's usually pretty gross, and far from most rooms. >_< But yeah, never again am I doing regular housing. First year was honors which was okay, and last year was wellness which was pretty good most of the time, but this year is insane.

[Horatio]

*sends cousin a couple FedEx care packages for his new home*

[Jesusfreak]

Hokay, revised list of things to do (I've gotten a lot done and rearranged some dates so it's not as bad now)

 

This weekend: visit Phil, including ballroom competition

11/18: Child development presentation

11/19: Behavior Modification presentation (should be easy, it's only 5 minutes and requires no research)

11/26: Thanksgiving break starts (requires driving to a hotel and back)

12/1: Psych Law paper due, thanksgiving break ends

12/3: Education presentation

12/8: Psych law final, Education take home exam due

12/9: Autism exam, Autism paper due

12/10: Behavior mod exam

12/11: child development exam, visit Phil?

12/18: term paper due (I can probably turn it in early, and I can go home as soon as I turn it in)

[Jesusfreak]

So, I'm in kind of a bad mood today, which started last night. After I finished my take home exam, I tried to install the new version of maplestory (because for some reason the patches never work). And of course after it downloaded for two hours it wouldn't install properly. The new patch contains the new pirates class that Phil has been excited about since he heard about it, so naturally he was online and playing the second it came out. And of course AIM wasn't working properly with it, so he closed aim and resorted to texting me (which makes for much worse conversation, and this was after not being able to talk to him in class because the wireless wasn't working). After MS refused to install properly the first two times I texted him saying I was going to give up on it as it was 1am. He responded awhile later saying he was going to bed and good night and all that.

 

I was really quite annoyed that he didn't sign into AIM to chat for a couple minutes and say good night properly, especially since we had hardly talked all day and he doesn't have class on Thursdays so it's not like he was going to bed so he could get up for class. And I guess on itsI own it's just a little thing, but it's underlined by my already existing concern over his maplestory addiction. Now, I know he likes his games, and that's fine, and he generally manages to get his schoolwork done, but sometimes (and I hate putting it this way because I know that's not how it is), it seems like he cares more about his games than he cares about me. Even when I'm visiting him he's usually playing some sort of game, and it's kind of starting to get on my nerves. I mean we do other things sometimes to, and when we do it's fine. Just the maplestory thing seems to be getting a little bit out of hand, and last night kind of pushed me over the edge in terms of being concerned about it. I'm planning on talking to him sometime today if he ever signs into aim.

[Jesse]

Yeah, my apartment doesn't get cleaning services either. My mom's OCD power has rubbed off on me though so I don't really mind it that much. If nothing else it will get you ready for real life.

 

I'm sorry to hear about Phil. I mean, I like playing games too, but it's just when I have nothing better to do (which is quite often in my case) or to unwind, but it seems like he is forming a specific attachment with his gaming, so I can see how you get that uncared-for feeling. I'll pray that you can work things out soon.

I have some thoughts on this, but will wait until after you and Phil talk. Hope you both work this out.

[Jesusfreak]

Well, I talked to him about last night, and he says that aim wasn't working on his computer at all last night, even after he closed MS, which is why he was texting instead, so that's understandable, although I kind of wish he told me that at the start. It probably didn't even occur to him though. I didn't get the chance to bring up the rest of it though. I might do it this weekend. It's one of those things that's best talked about in person anyways. And maplestory STILL isn't installing properly on my computer, which is getting really frustrating since I was planning on using it for a presentation that's due next week.

Well, I talked to him about last night, and he says that aim wasn't working on his computer at all last night, even after he closed MS, which is why he was texting instead, so that's understandable, although I kind of wish he told me that at the start. It probably didn't even occur to him though. I didn't get the chance to bring up the rest of it though. I might do it this weekend. It's one of those things that's best talked about in person anyways. And maplestory STILL isn't installing properly on my computer, which is getting really frustrating since I was planning on using it for a presentation that's due next week.

Talking in person was one of the ideas I had, so I'm glad you will be doing that.

So, upon doing some quick research, I think that estrogen dominance explains my ridiculous mood lately, as well as the headaches and generally not feeling well lately. It also makes sense because it can be caused by things like poor diet (I'm trying to gain weight), stress, and caffeine. Hehe oops.

Poor diet, hormones, stress... what a bad combination.

Hehe yep. Trying to solve one problem causes a worse one, apparently. (The way I was trying to gain weight was mostly by eating lots of candy and unhealthy foods, and by not making any real attempt to balance my diet with other things (I take multivitamins at least), which is one of the main causes of the imbalance. Then add to that how I've been having coffee with dinner a lot recently, and the stress of my insane list of things to do, and you have me as a medical and emotional mess! However, now that I have a good idea of what's wrong with me, I can try to fix it. One of the things that was suggested was consuming soy, so I'm eating soy ice cream for breakfast.

So Phil put up a different away message last night from the usual. Usually it's "Thinking of you, wherever you are, we pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard; or maybe it has already begun."

 

Last night (and also now because he didn't change it when he went to class) it was this (Japanese and translation): hajimari desho hajimari nan desho!? kirei ga yami wo terasumitai ni watashi to anata bouken no tochuu isshoni kite kudasai doko ma demo jiyuu ni genjitsu wo koete ashita kakoni natta kyou no ima ga kisekitashika na mirai wo tsuka mou mirai wo I believe you...

It's the beginning, right? It's the beginning, right!?Like how beauty illuminates the dark,You and I are on the middle of an adventure

Let's advance together freely, through thick and thinAnd go beyond realityThe present today that became the past tomorrow is a miracle

A definite futureLet's take hold of the futureI believe you...

 

In the AIM window I could only see the first part of the Japanese, but I was curious and clicked on the buddy info button to read the rest, and it made me really happy.

[Jesse]

You both speak Japanese? That's pretty cool.

[Jesusfreak]

Haha I wish. The translation was given with the Japanese in Phil's away message (I take it on faith that it's accurate), and I know Phil doesn't speak Japanese, so I'm pretty sure he copy pasted it from somewhere, looks like lyrics to a song.

There are weight gain protein drinks at the health food store. They are supplements to your meal. Usually they work quite well. Some taste awful, some not so bad. Just buy one at a time to try them to see if you like them.

I'm back from visiting Phil, which was fun times as usual. He and Jenny did really well at the ballroom competition, and even placed 8th in, I think it was foxtrot or tango, I forget now lol. And they made quarterfinals and semifinals in a whole bunch of things. And as usual, I took an insane amount of pictures, which will hopefully be edited and on facebook by the end of wednesday. I would probably elaborate more on the weekend, but I'm super tired and have to get my presentations done. >_<

[Jesusfreak]

lol me too. This is when I wish apartments could be co-ed. Apartments are 4 single rooms with a shared kitchen, living room, and bathroom, so idk what the big deal is. I have tons of guy friends I could live with, but not many girl friends, and the ones I do have already have other plans. So, now I'm hoping there are other people who want to do an apartment too that are looking for someone like me to live with (although it's still early in the year for most people to be thinking about housing).

Today was nice. I don't have anything due until next Monday, so my day was spent getting some cleaning done, and just wandering around the internet, and playing DDR for a bit. Yesterday I managed to get some much-needed shopping done, which was good. I got everything I needed except strawberry chapstick, but I won't need that for awhile since it's for Phil. (I wear strawberry chapstick, and almost every time Phil sees me apply it, he kisses me and makes some comment about stealing my chapstick or something. So I want to get him his own thing of strawberry chapstick for when I'm not around to steal it from. )

And they put mom and pop business out of business. Besides, they don't actually give you much of a break. The sizes are usually a little smaller than elsewhere, so you think you are getting a break.

In reality... I am always in search of the natural chapstick and it seems like some places carry it, some carry it and are always sold out and some... who knows.

So, I pay attention to all the other chapstick varieties that are out there and strawberry caught my little beady hammy eye.

[Jesusfreak]

We do have a Target, but it's harder to get to and more expensive. >_<

On chapstick they are fairly competitive.

Getting there is well worth the effort as they do not put famly owned businesses on the street without a place to operate.

Ohyeah, my topic. My Thanksgiving was fun. We went out to dinner with half of Mom's side of the family, and then some of us went swimming in the pool at the hotel. I had to drive myself to the hotel from college, and beat my family there by about 10 minutes. Yesterday I went out shopping with my sister, which was really draining because the mall was packed. Phil texted me while I was there saying he was coming home that day, but would probably be going straight to sleep because he was tired. I suggested that maybe I'd visit him at college today since Jenny had to be driven up there anyways, and he said that it would be good to see me if I'm on campus, but that he had a tough exam to study for and probably wouldn't seem excited and would probably be in a bad mood because of the exam and tiredness. So naturally that put me in a bad mood. However, a little while after I got home, Phil IM'd me in a much better mood (since he had slept on the way home), and we made plans to meet up for dinner tonight. It turns out he was so tired and cranky before because he had been up until 5am with his cousin the night before. He also said that it turns out he didn't need the whole day to study, and he's going to study after dinner. So, I'm excited because I get to see Phil today! After I get my paper done anyways..... Then tomorrow I have to drive back to college.

I left at 8am today expecting to be back on campus at about 11:30 so I'd have time to get my citations on the paper done and such, but I hit horrendous traffic and didn't get here until close to 1:30, making me late for my class, and my paper still needs citations. >_<

Ouch, hope you will find the time to get that done!

Paper is done now. I just need to drop it off on my way to my night class.

[Jesusfreak]

So, Lara said she wants to be in an apartment next year too, and has dropped her desire to throw parties, so now I only need one or two more people! Luckily, Lara knows like half the population of my college, so it will be easier to find people with her. She's considering asking her friend Kyra, who's a pretty cool person overall. If my roomie can do it too, then we've got our four people. So we'll see where this goes.

Sounds like you have a great plan. Hope you can solidify everything rather quickly so that you don't have to worry about it.

[Jesse]

I don't understand. Do your residence halls have vastly different prices or something? My halls are all about the same except the apartment I have this year is $100 LESS than last year's dorm for whatever reason.

[Jesusfreak]

Yeah, being in a triple room (three people in one room) is the cheapest, followed by doubles. There used to be single rooms, but the university accepted too many people last year so there were no singles available and some unlucky people were forced into triples. Singles are more expensive than doubles. Then there are apartments, which are three or four single rooms that share a bathroom, living area, and (sometimes) a kitchen. Those are more expensive, but you can opt out of a meal plan if you have a kitchen. There are also pods, which I think is 6 single rooms and two bathrooms with a living area. There's also a new building that's being built now which will have other types of more expensive housing.

[LifesEagle]

I can't believe to the extent that American colleges have shared rooms. They are, if anything, quite rare here. Even when I was offered the bad-quality uni-owned accomodation by my university it was a single room.

[Jesusfreak]

I guess it's cheaper or something. I know single rooms are larger than half the size of a double room. Or maybe they just want to make sure everyone has someone else to sort of look after them or something. I'm not sure. I know freshman year, my roomie and I lived totally independent lives.

[Jesusfreak]

I finished my Christmas shopping today!!!! Phil is harder to shop for than my dad. That's impressive.

[Jesusfreak]

I'm only three pages done with a 6 page paper that I want to finish today, and started yesterday. Why can't I concentrate on anything lately???

Eek. Maybe you're trying to do too much of the paper at once, though if it is to be finished today there's not much you can do to change that factor. Anyway I hope you will be able to get the focus to finish it.

[Jesusfreak]

Aaaaand now it's snowing. Which I'm happy about. But it's distracting me more.

[Jesusfreak]

Oh, and also I had the brilliant realization that I can dye the ends of my hair blue without worrying about it fading before I have to do field work because I can just cut it off and then it's gone.

The ends of my hair are now blue. My paper, however, is still only three and a half pages long. I just couldn't concentrate on it. >_<

My psych law exam today went really well. I also got my paper back, which I got a 97 on. I'm almost done with my paper that I've been working on. I just need one more page. I'm having a hard time coming up with things to talk about though. >_<

[Jesusfreak]

Thanks! I finished my paper shortly after dinner so I had the evening to relax. Tomorrow will be spent studying for a night class exam.

[Jesusfreak]

Today is December 10th, and it's 61 degrees and raining. WTF?* It's the same type of temperature and humidity as around when Phil asked me out though, so it put me in a good mood. As of tomorrow, we'll have been together 8 months.

Eight months... time flies!

How was your exam?

[Jesse]

I know, it's pretty nice spring weather actually. Except it might go back to snow tomorrow.

[Jesusfreak]

Last night's exam went really well, I was one of the first people done. I'm taking a quick break from studying for tonight's exam. And yeah, i have rain/snow in the forecast for Friday. It was pouring a few minutes ago....

[Jesusfreak]

Last night's exam went well enough. Not my best work, but I'm expecting at least a B. I got my presentation grade back, which was an A. I have to leave in a little bit for my last exam. I'm not sure how that will go. Although that reminds me, I ought to go find the extra credit slip to hand in too....After this exam, I just have to write the BHP paper (7+ pages) and then I can go home.

Another marathon paper... hope you get it accomplished and are able to get home soon.

[Jesusfreak]

I didn't think I did well on today's exam but I got an A, so I'm happy. I also got an A in my psych law class. I got through 4 pages of the paper today. I might be able to finish it tomorrow or saturday.

Congratulations!!! You are collecting lots and lots of A's!

You only have three pages remaining... that should be pretty easy for you. Good luck!

[Jesusfreak]

Thanks! I like collecting A's lol. I wonder if my behavior mod grade is in yet....(BHP obviously won't be in, and my autism professor said the grades won't be in until like Tuesday). Mmnope. Not surprising. Anyways, my paper is at 5 and a half pages now. I'm running out of things to talk about though. Once I finish getting it past 7 pages and getting a decent conclusion done, I need to assemble my works cited list and then do in text citations (which I hate, but they'll make my paper look longer).

My paper is done! I'm packing at the moment. Tomorrow I get to go home.

[Jesse]

Nice! Have a safe trip!

[Horatio]

Nice! Have a safe trip!

I agree... have a safe trip and enjoy the holidays!!!

Say hello to Phil for us.

[Jesusfreak]

I'm home. People kept insisting on driving 60mph in the left lane though >_< But my ride was indeed safe.

[Horatio]

I'm home. People kept insisting on driving 60mph in the left lane though >_

Glad to hear that you are home safe and sound.

[Jesusfreak]

Oi, grandma is going through one of her "I don't live here" phases. >_<

[Jesusfreak]

I got to see Phil the last two days in a row. I'm a happy person.

[Horatio]

It's great to see that you two are so happy together.

So, what are you getting him for Christmas?

[Jesusfreak]

I got him a couple things actually. A little while ago he was talking about making tea but not having a coffee cup at college, so I got him a set of two coffee mugs. I also got him two bottles of ramune, which is a type of Japanese soda you can usually only find at like anime conventions, but they sell it at Wegmans (upscale grocery store not far from my college. I got him a box of pocky (Japanese cookie type thing), but the box got a little beat up on the way home, so I don't know what sort of shape the pocky itself is in. And the last thing I got him was some peach tea flavored mints, which are actually really good (he LOVES peach things). I might pick up a couple little things to go with that as well. I also need to pick up something little to go with my sister's stuff, and maybe with my mom's stuff too. Hm....

[Jesusfreak]

Phil is so adorable. When I was in the van about to leave for home he drew a heart in the fog on the window. I'm sure it seems little to everyone else, but it made me giggle.

On the contrary... it seems very romantic!

[Jesusfreak]

We got so much snow!!!! Tomorrow we're gonna go get our Christmas tree, and I need to bring Phil home from work. I'm hoping he can come over for dinner too. Mom said it's fine, so now I'm awaiting a response from Phil (he's playing a video game with his sister I think).

[Jesusfreak]

Aw, Phil can't come over tomorrow. :closedeyes:

[Horatio]

I'm sorry that his grandparents won't allow him to come to your home for dinner.

I am going to be in Newark on Tuesday. It was my intent to head over to the city, but not if it is a snowy, ucky mess.

[Jesusfreak]

It's supposed to rain on Sunday, so that will take away the snow. I'm sad about that. I wanted to have Phil over to go sledding. :closedeyes:

Why don't you come with me?

[Jesusfreak]

We have about a foot of snow here too lol.

 

Oh, and I got a 4.0 for the semester (all A's).

[Jesusfreak]

Thanks! We got our Christmas tree today too. I think decorating it will happen tomorrow.

[Jesusfreak]

Yesterday Phil was able to come over for dinner and we got the tree set up. My little sister got some pictures of us decorating to send to her boyfriend over in New Zealand. Once they get posted to facebook, I might grab a few of them to post here. Pictures include dad taking a hack saw to the top of the tree to get the star to fit on it, and me and Phil looking fabulous with an extra piece of garland. Tomorrow is Christmas eve, and I've been invited to Phil's mom's Christmas eve party, which should be fun. I still need to wrap everyone's Christmas presents.

[Jesusfreak]

I have some sort of cold-like thing now, which includes a sore throat, and I'm not happy about it. Phil's mom's Christmas eve party was fun though, and today I visited with some family in RI. Tomorrow I'm hoping to be able to hang out with Phil, but we'll see what happens.

Tell Phil we say "Hi!".

[Jesusfreak]

I'm sick and I don't like it. My immune system baffles me. Everyone I know can be sick, and I won't have so much as a sniffle. But now, I don't know anyone who's sick at all, and I have the worst cold I've had in years (I'm really hoping it's not pneumonia). However, I still plan to go grocery shopping, pick up Phil from work, go shopping for wii stuff, and hang out with him for the evening. Tomorrow is Michy's New Year's party, so I hope I start feeling better soon. Then Friday I head to NJ for the family Christmas party. I think I come back on Sunday. So, the rest of the week is going to be busy. Oh and yesterday we finally got the van windshield replaced, which I'm happy about. Now it not only doesn't have a large crack down the center of it, but it's also nice and clean so I can see out of it when the sun hits it at that bad angle that lights up every particle of dirt so you can't see anything.

Sounds like your friends are passing the horrific germs on to you. They are sick, you are healthy, they pass the germs to you, they get well, you get the world's worst cold. If I was you, pass those germs back to them. The cold is always ten times worse when you get a relapse.

 

And you need to clean your windshield every time you gas up your vehicle. In addition, check the tyre pressure, check the oil and also check all the fluids.

[Jesusfreak]

So this morning I took day-quil, and I couldn't taste it, but it still triggered an instant gag reflex. Cough syrup is gross. But not as gross as having a liqui-gel capsule pop in the back of your throat. It's like having the entire grossness of a whole bottle of cough syrup concentrated into one teeny little capsule.

 

In other news, it's snowing, and Michy's party is today. I hope the roads aren't going to be too bad to drive up there.

[Jesusfreak]

Michy's party was fun. We played Apples to Apples, watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, watched the ball drop on TV and covered Michy's basement in confetti, and then went to Denny's before going to sleep. The roads getting up and back were pretty slippery, but we made it up and back without crashing or getting beeped at, so I guess I'm not too bad at driving in the snow. It also helps that the van has anti-lock brakes and traction control.

 

Today we're all going to NJ for the family Christmas party, which should be fun.

A family Christmas party a week after Christmas?

Glad you made it safe and sound. The ball was pretty, but I liked the old ball dropping. It was more exciting.

Oh well... 2009

 

Happy New Year!

[Jesusfreak]

Yep. It's always hard to get the family together before Christmas because everyone has other things they have to do around then, so we started having the family Christmas party the weekend after New Year's, and usually almost everyone can come. (plus we can all buy Christmas stuff on clearance )

That's great thinking!!!

[Jesusfreak]

I'm back home in CT, exhausted, and STILL sick. I should probably go to the doctor tomorrow, but grandma had a really bad day today so it might be best if I stick around here tomorrow. (She sometimes forgets she lives here, but today she thought WE didn't live here either.) But in better news, I got to see Phil today! Jenny and I went to his house to watch the superstars of dance show, which was EPIC. I'm hoping tomorrow I can have Phil over here to watch the second part of it lol.

[Horatio]

Get well soon. Hopefully Phil gets to come over today!

[Jesusfreak]

Phil wasn't able to come over, but I'm hoping he can maybe come over today. If nothing else, I'll see him when I go grocery shopping today. Also, I'm feeling much better than I was before, which is good.

 

Also, I need a haircut. Badly. The question is whether I should just get it trimmed, or have it cut really short (which makes it easier to manage). Most people like the way it looks long better (when it's short I look like a boy if I'm wearing baggy pants and a t-shirt).

Sorry to hear about Phil. I'll cross my paws for an appearance today.

 

When you get to the haircutting place, you can make a decision at that time. Keep in mind that your hair can always grow back.

And if your hair is long enough, you can donate it to Locks of Love, which is a phenomenal organization.

[Jesusfreak]

Gah, Phil couldn't come over today, or tomorrow. He's hoping to come over on Friday. I hate how things keep coming up so he can't come over. It's driving me nuts. >_< But since he can't come over tomorrow I think I might get my hair cut tomorrow instead. I have kind of an idea of how I want it cut, really short and sort of layered. I would do locks of love, but I dyed my hair so they won't take it.

Your hair is dyed??????? I thought that blue or purple (can't remember what colour you put in) was not considered dye. Doesn't that wash out after a bit? My impression of dyed hair was if you were a brunette and you changed the colour to red or blonde. I had no idea the little bit of colours added were considered dyed. I am soooooooo out of touch! *slaps forehead*

[Jesusfreak]

Yeah, it was a semi-permanent blue dye. It's mostly faded out now, but there are some places where you can tell it's still dyed.

[Horatio]

You could always wait until the blue is gone and then donate it. Your hair is so beautiful!!!
