I am the 'who' when you shout 'who's there?'

I am at the Memorial Union downtown for this post, as the last one, as I've been too lazy to convince Madison to call Charter/ATT for interwebz service at my house. Admittedly, one of the reasons I want the internet so badly is so that I can read Zoatrope.com and post there, and talk to Erykka on aim. I'm so shameless sometimes. O_O;;

I don't feel as though I've been unhappy lately, or upset about anything, really. I've just been enjoying my day to day life a lot. Last night after posting I ran around state street picking through some trash on the side while checking out various art stores for pins/patches and the like. It was very fun, I got a couple of nifty little conjunction-word pins from Pop Deluxe for 2$ which was nice. Afterwards George and I got Ian's Pizza (mac n cheese style, no less) and then got savagely caught in the rain because we decided to be lazy and just sit around for 15 minutes after eating pizza, which destroyed us. T_T

I was then at home, largely just watching movies (Nightmare before Christmas, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike back) and I was surprised to realize that I had never actually seen the Nightmare Before Christmas, which was amazing because I'm definitely one to be interested in the culture of people who typically like this movie, and because I've only really heard good things about it. I'm happy to say, regardless of the genre of human that enjoy this movie its quite good, and is definitely something I'm happy to have in my home. It's structured like a musically which is totally awesome because it just flows from scene to scene so well, while being catchy and enjoyable at the same time. I think I'll certainly torrent the soundtrack at some point once my computer situation is stable once again.

Kalen then came over and off to Super Walmart we went for a fun night of well...playing Buck Hunter Pro for 3 hours. It's getting a little tiresome as we have pretty much all the high scores in the entire game, and the only fun/difficult levels for us aren't really even that fun or difficult. But I can forsee us going there at least half a dozen more times before we call it quits. The people who work nights there even go "hey you guys playing Buck Hunter tonight?" FML.

I've gotten back on notebook journaling/poeting for the last couple days. Since I don't have access to a keyboard I've sort of just been rocking it the old fashion way which has been sub-par but vaguely enjoyable in that it feels very old-schooly. I can't say I'll keep it up once I get my comp, but I certainly transcribe some of them by date to whatever blog I'm using at the time. Additionally, much of the content is a bit too controversial to be posting around this time anyway ;)

George and I got smoothies the last two days from the smoothie lady. I swear to fucking god she needs a facebook group or something. She's completely amazing. O_O

Last night Erykka and I talked for a good two hours on the phone. I'm generally not one to spend long periods of time but for some reason it feels nice to talk to her, and we talk about largely interesting things so I hope she keeps calling me.

You may not have been able to determine this from the tone of the rest of my blog, but I'm feeling pretty down/terrible right now. I somewhat know why, and I somewhat don't. Just sort of weird feeling today. Happens to everyone I guess.

Soon, my dear.

Life has been pretty fine going for the last week or so since I updated. Erykka and I have been hanging out a lot, which has been great. She makes me feel wonderful. There's something about having a quiet, skinny, and Asian (pacific islander?) girl to hang out with. She makes me feel appreciated, which is a lovely feeling to have. There's something nice about having someone who is quiet, and reserved (to some degree) and still very fun and great to hang out with. I'm unused to it, but its great. I hope we see each other more sometime soon.

My writing has been moving along has planned. I missed a contest mostly out of laziness plus not wanting to spend the 10$ to enter. I always do this to myself. I write and write and work on a manuscript very hard, then chicken out within the last couple of days for seemingly meaningless reasons. I wish someone would just kick my ass every time I did it. =P

My poetry has been satisfying me lately. It's peaceful, serene, and deep in ways that I feel I've been lacking. It's nice. I plan on updating with a few poems in the future, and potentially switching my blog provider to another. Blogspot is nice, but the interface for posting is a little awkward and I feel I'm probably going to code my own blog management system and URL it to a .com in the future, that way I'm just in more control over what is going on my blog.

Life is complicated, but nice. Like a spider's web.

She thinks I'm much too thin, she asks me if I'm sick...

yoyoyoyoyoyo

I'm in a pretty good mood. I spent the last 24ish hours with Erykka just hanging out / walking around / going out to the back patio periodically to watch her smoke a cigarette. It was fun, though the inside of our apartment is hot as *fuck*, we can't us the AC because it costs infinite $ so it was sweaty in general. Plus it didn't help I was hella nervous.

Either way George is moving in tomorrow, which is exciting in and of itself, and hopefully I can see Erykka again in the next couple days. Madison has a date with a hot black chick tonight, so I'll probably be hanging out with Kalen watching the 3rd season of Dexter on demand at a place he is supposedly house-sitting. It's a nice condo out in Menona, which sounds fun.

I need to get some money and head down to MATC in the next couple days in order to pick up my school books for the semester. Excitingly enough new school books is one of those guilty pleasures of mine, especially when the class has an actual piece of literature to offer me insted of just the standard text-book style books. I'm taking 4 classes (full time student baby!) and I really can't wait to get started. I have a dentist appointment in the next couple weeks (finally) and I can't wait to get some of these awful cavities out of my mouth. Sorry I drink too much soda world, but seriously, brushing your teeth every day should be enough to have the disaster that is my mouth never happen. >.< I'm pretty self concious about it as of late, I hardly ever smile like I used to, and can't wait to get back to big toothy smiles. =D

My father is coming up to see the apartment, which in and of itself is sort of scary. I really dislike seeing him in general as he's sort of a tyrant. But hey, I guess he *has* to see it if George really is moving out. Its funny that the apartment is directly across the street from our old house. They still even have the same blinds we used to have.

I saw Kyle at Copps today when I was with Erykka. It was pretty hilarious because its like, I don't even feel a distain for him when I see him, I feel like he thinks I'm just this creepy Ex-boyfriend that treated Katie like shit for 2 years and hes like liberating her from this awful relationship we were having (which is the opposite of true, honestly most girls would kill another human being to spend their life with someone like me it seems, and Katie had the happiest times of her life thus-far with me) so every time I see him now I just sort of try different scare/intimidation tactics just to fuck with him. Call it revenge, call it sadism, call it creepyness, its just harmless fun. >;]

Well I'm off

Hello blog.

Yesterday Madison and I moved into our new apartment which is totally rad and I'm EXTREMELY excited to have the place fully operational with tables...chairs...a Tv...etc. =(

Sure sure, its pretty empty now, but give it a month or two and it will be a pretty sweet pad, I'm sure of it! I'm going to ask Katrina to borrow her camera so I can take some pictures of it and post them. Its like one huge huge room with a kitchen, then a bedroom and a bathroom, but its rather spacious and nice. We need some curtains to hang in the front windows so we're not always exposed to the public.

As for everything else, George is moving in soon (saturday I believe) and he's bringing with him a bunch of cool furniture. Tables, chairs, TV etc. So the place will start looking more like a home and less like a box with a roof that we sleep at! Madison and I got into a huge argument about the bedroom and who gets it etc, so we ended up deciding to share it. My entire end of the argument was I had WAY more prospects to get laid than he does, so I should get the bedroom, and his argument is that his name was on the lease (even though we're paying equal amounts) lol.

Katrina and I are hanging out and making cinimon rolls tonight, which sounds delicious as hell, I havn't had a good cinimon roll in ages. =)

I was at the mall and I saw some cool stuff I wouldn't mind having so I could mod/bucher it. I need a new belt or two and a packback, plus I wanna save for some dermal anchors on my writst, so I have a few luxury items in my sights. I shouldn't have too much trouble being that I won't be spending any money on magic ^^;;

That is all o.o

Today was a pretty sweet day.

Katrina and I had plans, so I woke up around 9:30 and gave her a call to wake her up. She was very sleepy and zombie like, and I suggested that maybe she should sleep another 30 minutes or so and then I'd come over after checking my email, doing w/e etc so she could sleep a little more. She agreed, then gave me a little sleepy, unaware 'I love you' which was really cute. She gave me a call back about 15 minutes later and since a phone call had woken her up, she wanted to go now. So I biked over and off we went to the farmer's market, a totally sweet event that happens wed/sats in Madison involving a market of farmers and delicious organic foods.

Last time we went she bought some cheese curds (which are fucking incredible) for us to eat, so I returned the favor this time around and after doing a little exploring and commenting of the various booths we sat down in the shade and enjoyed some delicious cheese curds, which was pretty awesome. We talked about lots of fun stuff, like our school schedules or how strange ostrich meat would be, which was pretty awesome. Last time we went we were a couple, so it was hard to walk around with her (and she wanted to hold hands!) and not be completely all over her all the time. But it was ok, and after we biked off to hang out with Alex Nelson for some QQs Asian buffet.

I was pretty full as it was still a bit early to eat for my liking, but Katrina and Alex devoured lots of asian oddities and lots of little cakes. o.o Afterwards Katrina and I hung out at Kalens for a while, we cuddled and took a small nap, and then she cut my hair which is something Im glad she can still do for me xD I'm so used to her cutting my hair idk if I'd feel comfortable having someone else do it. Plus I don't get to stare at anyone's pretty face half the time! =D

I decided to take a shift at work (because I should, not because I want to T_T) so while Katrina is at her play and Madison is at home probably doing nothing, Kalen and I will be slaving away doing nothing at Shopko. I work in electronics so it shouldn't be very stressful at all.

On a sidenote, I made Katrina a pretty sweet mixtape type consisting of largely old songs that I used to listen to all the time before I met her that I still think are pretty sweet. Since my old computer crashed I've been too lazy to recover them. These songs are totally rad though. Lots of my old favorites.

For now, a little Starcraft hopefully and then some work till 10pm. *sigh*
