1. I've come to realize that my first kiss...
was nothing to write home about; seriously, I had to think really hard to remember who it was

2. I am listening to...
Vampire Weekend

I heart SciFi channel, a firefly marathon was exactly what I needed.
I'm not saying I'm not somewhat of a wreck still but at least the familiar characters and story line that doesn't remind me of "home" in anything other than a vague tie to shared enjoyment of the show is perfect.
So too was laying on hammock in the morning sunshine, whispering songs to myself, though in a very different sort of way.
If it weren't for the fact that I can't won't do it I would use things like this to erase all the traces that keep me from binding myself back to this place, tying knots in thick silk rope holding back the wanderlust that would draw me from this place yet again.
So for now I'll use them to calm the desire to pack a duffel bag and leave tonight. To keep back the dreams, to give me patience and calm the hope that threatens to undo me.

sorry for the emoness I'm working through it I promise.

"Littlest Things"

Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of you and me
It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too.

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but its so true
I know its not right, but it seems unfair
That the things are reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on, Tell me
Is this the end?

Saw the midnight showing of Prince Caspian last night. Will have to post about it proper later this weekend.
I've been one very le busy gal these past couple of weeks, what with all the visitors and movies and not sleeping. I'm looking forward to a nice, long weekend with the house all to myself. I'm thinking this will involve a whole lot of nothing, with slight interludes of reading and/or watching movies and writing stuff for teh internets.

I've only been back in Tucson for a little more than two days and I'm already going stir crazy, bad new folks, bad news.

Went and got my permit renewed, the goal is to finally get my driver's license within the next month, no later than the end of June.

And in the mean time get a job... ugh  *headdesk* (Liz I totally sympathize with your being trapped in Vegas) anywhere doing anything that pays enough that I don't have to live at home much longer. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but I love my freedom more.

I finished my book, now I'm itching for the next one (which won't be out 'til august)

I've been having dreams of Macon already, I miss it but I'm glad I'm done. I guess some of that is because it wasn't Macon any more anyway.

Family is BACK! Life is crazy once again :) Not really, it needs to be crazier. I feel SOOOOOO lazy right now. So lazy. But anyways, dinner with Rachel and Matthew was awesome, I missed the goofiness. Rachel and I ended up talking till midnight (didn't mean to keep her up that long, but we have a lot to catch up on!). Now, I'm awake, waiting for Brian so we can go run. And good gracious I really hope we RUN! I'm so SICK of being SICK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH shoot me now! I hate not being physically active, and these last two weeks have been MISERABLE. Seriously, general america, how do you do it?

Next week we'll start swimming and weights again (thank goodness) and I also have guard tryouts for the fall :D YAAAYYYYY I love fall guard so much better!! Brian and I just both need to be healthy now, and I think we should write out an exercise regime (including bedtime) so that we remain healthy for the summer. Especially for him, so he doesn't try and do too much all at once.

Anywho, I suppose I should go get dressed, we have a lot of errands to run after running. Time to get the Russian stuff sent out! (EEEEEEEEEE!!!!! YAAAYY!!!!)

I'll be leaving the 26th of june and returning the 7th of august :) 6 weeks

In other random news, did anyone else watch House last night? How fabulous was that episode? Damn good storytelling is what that is. Also, Bones...goes boom? Next week's finale will be very interesting.

"They are too young to be doing this sort of thing"

"Now why do you say that?"

"They aren't able to think clearly about it they aren't old enough to rally get what it means. They haven't developed enough."

"Sure they are, and you just don't think can think clearly."

"No, they don't have the benefit of experience and the lack of emotionality being grown up brings. They can't make a good choice based on what they know now, and let's not even start on all the pressure they're being put under."

"What pressure?"

"What pressure?! Everyone expects them to go through with it. They can hardly be expected to hold out, some are just gonna do it because it's expected. That is one of the worst reasons to do it. They should wait because it's the sort of decision a person should only make of their own free will, and with all of their heart behind it. None of this, I guess stuff they should really mean it."

Now just what do you boys and girls think this little conversation is about? There may be an incoming rantish, not radish and holy shit there's a word "obscurantism" and I don't know what it means but it's automatically awesome perhaps even fucking awesome, thing about it next time, or not we'll see.

Moving on:

It has come to my attention through various sources, root parallels and the like, that that quite a number of those I know have begun to start blogs. Indeed some may even call it a trend, though one that has been going on for quite some time outside those I know. That said there is in many cases the wish to be somewhat anonymous on these blogs, or at least a prevalence of pseudonyms.

This use happens for various reasons sometimes including a desire for secrecy. There is however a significant problem with this trend. As more people become connected to each other, through one way or another, on these blog sites it will become increasingly hard to hide who you are. So as the blog circle or wheel continues to grow it would be wise to be more ah careful with what is put in such blogs.

With that said I obviously don't heed my own advice as nearly all entries I have made are open to the public consumption and unless something zany happens that is how they will continue to be. In the same way I will not, I believe, move away from Livejournal despite some, usually rightful, perceptions about the immaturity/emoness of those who use this site. If people think I'm emo they don't know me and I get a good laugh.

Now I have to decide if I'm hungry or not and if I am what I shall consume to relieve said affliction. This is or was Eric T. Boyce and you'll be hearing from me again

And I am sick as a dog, haha. Brian finally gave me the creeping crud, and my throat is so swollen and painful right now. I haven't lost my voice, it isn't scratchy, but the ache goes up into my inner ears and I'm sore all over and like uber sensitive to touch.

But in other news, I got to see Tanya today, she's making her rounds of those of us left on the East Coast and I was closest (Lucky me :) ) It was SO good to see her!!!! We had Japanese (which still tasted good through the pain and nausea) and talked for awhile before she went to her sister's soccer game. I missed her so much, I am SO glad she's back! And I'm using "so" a lot, oh well.

I got a pedicure and a manicure today...WEIRD! But kinda fun, the girly in me does creep out every once in awhile, and it is hard to refuse the vibrating chair. I keep having to stop myself from trying to wipe of my nails though, haha, it confuses me to see the little white tips. And my toes are distracting, I'm gonna trip and fall down the stairs from watching the little rhinestone on each big toe instead of where I'm going. Gotta admit, that'd be pretty funny though.

I guess I should go unload my clip for Ottokar since I'm no longer home alone... perhaps.

mood: slightly girly still

So, including high school graduations, I have been to 11 graduations...no, todays was the 12th, I forgot. Thats even with missing Rebecca's because I was in the hospital. Needless to say, graduations, are ridiculously boring and Liberty's was no exception. However, there were a few interesting points that were different from traditional graduation services that I've attended. One, the professors were just as ridiculous as the students and the amount of silly string sneak attacks from PROFESSORS during processional was pretty amusing. It's nice for people to finally get their panties out of a wad and realize graduation is a celebration, not a funeral march. Two, Chuck Norris was the commencement speaker. He's had a pretty fascinating life and gave a solid testimony, but he is definitely NOT a comfortable public speaker. At least he avoided most of the platitudes (not all, but most) that are levied at graduates this time of year. Thirdly, Liberty plays waaaaayyyyy too much music. Good music, excellent musicians, and decent songs too, but WWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY too much for a graduation service. This is not a concert, shut up.

All in all, my tailbone still hurts and I still do not understand why people are so insistent to get there names read by a random faculty member and receive a blank piece of paper...really I don't understand why they'd wait through three hours of sheer boredom to do just that. I can read your name and hand you a piece of computer paper if it's really that important to you. I also don't understand why people get so hung up on what is worn beneath the robes. Count your blessings that they're wearing anything at all and get on up over yourself, it truly does not matter, they all look like funky black blobs from where you're sitting anyway.

But anywho, congrats to all the graduates from all the different universities that graduated today, good for you :)

Now I could talk in detail about all the lovely handguns I went to see and handle (it seriously is about time I get one of my own) but I shall save that for another day. I will say that I still do prefer my revolvers, and I also prefer a 4" barrel in most handguns (semi-auto or revolver) and I think it's just because of how they balance differently in my hand. I don't know if I'm a huge fan of Glock's grip, but I'll probably get one (eventually) anyway. I do, however, like the Springfield 1911 very much. I like how it feels, it's weight, and it's balance, and I'd really like to shoot one. I still want to see one blued with the wood grip and not just stainless with the wood grip just to see how it'd look because I like the darker metal. Oh and the Sig was kinda fun too, and I much preferred it's grip to the Glocks'.

I'm going to get a snub nosed revolver at some point, I can just feel it. I prefer the longer barrels, and those double-single action as opposed to those that don't have the hammer accessible (on the other hand I might get just a single action at some point, because they're kinda neat), but I might not mind getting one of those simple little revolvers just for the fun and convenience :)

Ugh, I don't know if I have a fever or what, but my body temp has being screwing around for the past two weeks and it's driving me crazy. I keep waking up hot to the point of sweating anymore, and I'm HOT in air conditioning...that is extremely bizarre for me, EXTREMELY. It's not the BC, I asked Dr. Uray. I just feel...off.

I need to start working out more, this whole not doing weights and "recovery running" crap is killing me. My knees hurt, my hips hurt, but I am just too antsy, it is making me seriously cranky. I am not the type of person who can NOT be physically active, and this is beginning to drive me crazy. Exams are done as of now (thank goodness) and as soon as Brian is feeling better -which I hope is soon :( --we've got to start working out again. Seriously, my mood is loooooooww and I have a pretty good idea that not working out and running as much is a good chunk of why I feel so down and restless. I HATE not being busy.

I really hate not being busy. I'm a hands on type of person and I've got to DO things. This whole working once a week thing isn't gonna fly either. I need another job. Not just for the money, but for something to do during the day. I am no good at loafing around doing nothing, it is completely unsatisfactory, I get nothing accomplished, and I feel like I complete waste of existence. I went from working out every morning, running, full day of classes, and two jobs, to....this. Which is barely running, no weights, and one job for a few hours once a week.

Ugh, I hate too much down-time! It isn't really even downtime because downtime implies there has been "up" time! I cannot do this, it is driving me crazy! I am SO irritable right now. I just want to punch everyone I see in the face. Not a good time to post encouraging comments, that'd really just annoy me. Seriously annoy me.

So I passed all my classes!
and managed a B in a Campbell art history class even after turning the paper in ridiculously late, woot!
no deans list this semester since I flaked out on Japanese for the last half of the semester... but I'm officially done with undergrad class work!

Brian is a weasel...who yelps, and howls, and has a heavy head...however he does not study and he has managed to randomly delete this post. (though I broke his keyboard in the process, so I win. Ha)

He's not feeling very well, which is making this whole "study for finals, write an eight page paper" thing kind of ... interesting.

This keyboard is loud.

I finished Zoology, took this final at 8am this morning, and it was a royal pain in the rump (which my touch corpuscles did not "adapt" to and ignore, thank you very much)
It's hard to write under pressure, Brian is staring at me and then reading everything I write. LAME.

I guess it's better than when Matthew sat on my lap and began extolling the , ahem, supposed "wonderfulness" of his existence....I had to repost that one.

Ok I'm done for now because Brian still isn't studying like he's supposed to.
