It’s almost nine o’clock on a Sunday night and I’m sitting here teary eyed as I type this. I have “The Real World” on in the background and the cast just had to do a very bizarre activity where only one of them could live and each person had to pass onto that chosen one, a message for them to deliver to their loved ones. Who would have thought some ridiculous MTV show could be so throught provoking. Anyway, yeah - I’m that much of a sap that I started crying while thinking about what I’d want passed on in that situation. *ahem* Moving on . . .
I’ve had a really stellar weekend. Nothing really excited happened on Friday although I did have the pleasure of receiving a phonecall from the ever entertaining Simon. Yesterday’s class was interesting and provided me with some valuable ideas for the job search I’m going to embark upon in London. After class Kevin came over and we feasted on some yummy whole wheat pizza while stressing out over our impending “date” with D.
I was so nervous as we headed over to Davis Square that my tummy felt all uneasy! Once we’d settled in a the bar the situation became comical as we scanned the room searching for BTM. The one person we thought might have been her turned out not to be, and we were back at square one. Thankfully she recognized us as soon as she walked in the bar with her husband in tow.
After the initial introductions and about ten minutes of small talk, all nervousness disappeared and everyone got on fabulously. Seriously, D was awesome and a part of me is sad that I hadn’t met her earlier. She is very much someone I could have seen myself hanging with regularly and becoming good friends with. Thankfully, I’ll be keeping my diary while in London so we’ll be able to keep up with one another. Her husband was also really cool and friendly. All in all, it was a blast meeting up with them.
Once we returned home Kevin downed a 40 oz. and passed out soon after we watched Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro doing a Sigfried and Roy impersonation on SNL. It was both incredibly funny and incredibly odd. This morning's activities inculded a trip to Target and the grocery store. We drank some fine coffee and I recorded Mr Cash doing a cover of “Personal Jesus” off of Kevin’s CD. Once he left, I set about cleaning the entire apartment and writing some Christmas cards. The entire time I busied myself, there was a smile on my face as I thought about Lee and London and everything involved in the move. I’m so excited it’s just ridiculous. I believe we’re now down to 49 days ACK! Speaking of the move, I’ve decided that once abroad I’ll be starting a new diary. I’ve been pondering doing something of the sort for a while now, and I figure this is as perfect a time as any. New country, new job, the start of my life with Lee . . . All these changes just seem to warrant a new Diaryland space.Other, erm, things . . .
- I’ve been eating rather healthy lately and feeling much better for it. I’m trying to work it out so that every meal I consume contains something green. It may sound odd, but it helps me get enough veggies.
- I love "Absolutely Fabulous". It’s just replaced “The Real World” on the television and is now making me giggle. From tears to giggles in the space of 15 minutes. I must surely be pre-menstrual.
- My Mom has arranged for me to get my hair dyed professionally just before Christmas. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity as over a year of doing it myself has left me with a bit of a mess in the hair color department. I’m thinking of going for a medium brown with gold highlights in the front. I have time to think about it though so suggestions are always welcome.
- I’ve been feeling very needy relationship wise lately. I’m sure that it’s because the move is coming up and I’m getting a little nervous in a healthy kind of way. I just don’t like being needy and fear it’s annoying. Regardless, Lee has been wonderful and I love him more each day. I just can’t wait until I get to type entries while curled up next to him in bed.
- I realized the other day that throughout my entire time in college, I only went online once. This means that I didn’t start regularly using the internet until early 2000. How is it possible that in the short space of three years I’ve become a total internet dork? I mean, I have online friends. I MET MY BOYFRIEND ONLINE! I’m one of THOSE people! In the end it really doesn’t matter because most all of my online experiences have been fabulous. It’s just an interesting thing to think about and ocassionaly, even though I'm pretty used to it now, it still strikes me as odd.
- I’m really looking forward to the holidays and my birthday. I’m going to be 25 in 20 days! That’s really amazing considering that I still feel 16 most days. 25 - Wow. So, who is throwing me a birthday party?
- I hate Oprah Winfrey. A lot.
- I think that eventually I’d like to get my MA and do an independent study on Sex Radicalism and Gender Theory.
- I’m learning to knit and when I get to London, I plan on buying a sewing machine. It’s time to get crafty.
- NO! Not the fucking Meow Mix song commercial.
- I might be going to a rap show on Wednesday! Yeah, DAWG!
- Kevin makes me laugh, I’m definitely going to miss his presence when I’m in Engerland.
- Lee makes my heart jump, my stomach flutter, and my mouth smile. Ah, Lurve!
