My sweet boyfriend brought me a cheeseburger from saturday nights leftovers and it was in his bookbag 3 hours before we got together. Any wagers on the likelihood of foodpoisoning? Haha... I love him so very much but ill probably never understand why almost all the men I know figure its okay to eat something that's been sitting out so long.
Where do you draw the line? Ill eat pizza in the morning if it was out all night but I think meat products cross the line for me.

today ended up being PERFECT. bobby came over. we relaxed for a bit in front of my dads new 50" plasma TV. my dad ran out and bought it because he claimed the old one was flashing. i don't know if I posted about this yet or not but i was concerned when he and his pal were carrying it in. i was like "dad, please don't have a heart attack while i'm gone"... it is kinda nice to have but i am not a big tv watcher so it really doesn't do much for me.
so after some nice quality together time, we went to eat at Salsitas. it's a really tasty mexican rest. around here. i know there are 2 in my area and they sell chips in grocery stores so maybe it's a national chain? i don't know. anyhow, it was his first time there and he really liked it.
so after that we went out to buy some more school supplies and i got my first comic book ever:
so now i have to go study my face off for latin and try to memorize a bunch of endings and stuff. wish me luck...
I stepped out of my latin class and bobby was standing there with two hot cups from peaberrys. He brought me some green tea.
Love love LOVE him.
Doing this quick. I have to scramble to get ready before work but todays classes went okay. I won't have my books as soon as I need them but oh well.
Can't wait for tomorrow. Tuesdays and thursdays are my saving grace because I will always have them off.

1. monday was 8 months. can you believe that? it all feels like it happened yesterday.
2. we saw GI JOE. for me, it was what it was. for him, it needed to be a little darker/ more serious.
3. ummm....
5. milani cherry pie nail polish
4. bobby gave me spore which keeps freezing on me whenever my little dudes try to migrate to a new colony or whatever.
5. he also gave me his itouch because he doesn't use it anymore since his phone is similar to it.
speaking of the itouch... it is still loaded with his music, a lot of which i'd like to have. does anyone know if there is any way of keeping his stuff before I reconfigure it with my itunes account? if not, it isn't like he can't give me what he's got himself, but still.
i'm having problems setting up my e-mail and information on it because i think it's still tied in with his itunes account. but it's fun to play with =)
i need to run before work. yucko.
i'll catch up with you guys the next time my dad gives me a 10 minute window of internet opportunity.
We ended up taking some food to the park and just hanging out there... the weather was perfect. Kind of chilly actually, when the wind blew. We sat under a tree on a picnic table and watched our geese friends. I think a lot of people feed these guys (we did it once ourselves) and they generally aren't afraid of people. When they saw us walking over they started honking and running over to us, almost like they recognized us from last time haha. But eventually they realized we didn't have anything for them this time and they went back to grazing.
It was a nice evening. We just sat (well, I sat.. Bobby laid against me) there and talked about our relationship and the future. We've been doing that a lot. We even discussed where we'd want to go on little trips. I asked him if he'd rather go (as soon as we are able to) someplace to relax like ocean city (nice occasionally, but I get BORED just being on a beach all day) or if he'd want to go to NYC. We pretty much share the same opinion that we'd get bored if all we had to do was lounge on a beach all day, so NYC it is. He's never been there so I'll have so much fun when we go together. I can't wait for him to see everything. AND there is a bakery there called Crumbs that I want to visit soo bad! It's kinda sad one of my destinations is a bakery, but oh well! Supposedly they have some crazy delicious cupcakes so I'll be all over it. We'll have to make it a fall or late spring trip, because I hate being there when it's hot. It's not bad being there when it's cold, I just would rather not deal with snow if it fell.
We just realized how much we have to look forward to. It's a wonderful feeling.
I'm gonna go be lazy and read before I drag myself on the treadmill (abby and I aren't running this week because she is away house-sitting in boardman). Peace!
surprises, that is. i decided to visit bobby at work today. on the drive there i was afraid he'd be taking his lunch already but i got lucky and when he found me by the honey he was sooo happy to see me. he hugged me tight and one of his managers walked by and told us to get a room, lol.
we went to subway for lunch and before we knew it, that never-long-enough lunch was over and it was time for me to say goodbye. it was so awesome surprising him though! he got a taste of what he gave me the day he stopped in to see me lol.
after i left, i went to pat catans to just BROWSE... because they tend to be cheaper than all the rest. well i finally found us a scrapbook. seriously the first decent collection of ones i've come across lately too. i was none too impressed with the selection at michaels. i didn't get to try hobby lobby though. but here is the one I found for $15 dollars! (all the semi-decent ones at michaels were at least $20, usually more).
i've been thinking about how to do this book and so far I think i'm going to organize it better than the ones i've made in the past. i'm going to start with an intro spread and then i will have the random events. but there will be other sections like "phone love" because we send each other cell phone pics all the time. i got them printed out too, in wallet sizes and i think that will be cute if i do it kind of like a photo-booth style type of thing.
i found some reasonably priced embellishments and coughed up $9 for a small book of rub-ons that i had to have. you know how it is. i spent around $30 total probably.
ah i have to go because my dads home so i will inevitably be kicked off in a matter of moments. tonight bobby and i are going to catch a random movie and just enjoy eachother.
peace!
my life has been amazing lately. for my circumstances, it is perfect. i work, work, work... and when I can, I see bobby. i don't go out much with friends because none of us can actually afford it and truth be told, the whole of us totally suck at making plans and keeping them.
when i'm not working i'm reading. when i'm not reading books i'm on the internet reading disney trip reports. exercising is fit in there somewhere and by the time it's all said and done, it's either time to get ready for work or time to go see bobby or a friend, if you can believe that one haha. (I actually DID go to lunch with tricia the other day...)...
anyway, the point i'm trying to make here is that i feel like i'm putting all of my energy toward these things, which are all very important of course, but what about the creative part of me that also needs flexing?
i often blame my lack of decent writings lately on my fear of failure, my creative block, my seeming inability to actually draw up anything worthwhile any time i try...
but it isn't any of those things. i stop myself mid-way through the BEGINNING of a project for reasons I don't even understand.. but I know enough that it's not those things. i easily lose my steam with writing.
the bottom line is that i am not disciplined enough to crank out more than a hopeful beginning.
and lately, not enough to crank out anything at all.
i'm ashamed of myself for that. truly, i am.
if i have the money to divulge myself in scrapbook supplies, i will work on a book cover to cover until it's perfect. but when it comes to what i swear i want to do with my life.... i invent reasons to avoid my word processor.
it's absolutely retarded. i think though, the important thing to do is to focus on this and understand why i avoid it like i do, when i claim it is so important to me. because it is, it really is.
it seems like when i am happiest in life, i am surrounded by this beautiful distracting bubble that doesn't want to deal with the profound, the miserable, the gritty thought-provoking stuff of life. but those are the lenses i must don when i write. that's the mood i have to be in. the bottom feeder mood. the "when the shit hits the fan just wait until it falls and clean up the mess" mood.
such beauty does come from misery. if there is anything i've learned in life up to now, it's that. reminds me of the frou frou song... "there's beauty in the breakdown"...
but why?? why can't i write things that catch my breath in my throat when I am swimming with happiness?
darn it. i have to learn how to compartmentalize those feelings so i can come and go from them freely without letting them mess with my happy moods. when i'm happy, i don't want to be miserable... but i have to THINK miserable when I write.
funny things are funnier. my wit is wittier. i can dredge things up from my dark past and mold them into something that moves and make simple statements that in all their simplicity are the most profound of all. but right now? like this? completely useless.
i haven't even touched the promising stuff I was working on since my fic class ended 2 semesters ago. i haven't had the nerve to, or the mood.
oh well. it's so strange isn't it? or perhaps it's just me. i probably sound like the perfect example of a whiny writer-type person right now, but i wouldn't even go so far as to call myself that, it would put me to shame because what have I done lately?
nothing.
I have done nothing but spin in my sea of bliss and indulge myself in books and video games and my delicious boyfriend.
shame on me =(
