Good thing it's not raining again... This weather is RIDICULOUS. I'm talking rain... from today until next Friday when we are supposed to see sunlight. Who knows? By then, that could change.
First and foremost, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to: JDeetz, Jeff Erhart, and Shane (RIP, we love you and you're always in our hearts) yesterday, and to C today!
Yesterday I didn't do anything. Munch and I went out to try to find her mom a birthday present, but the trip only left Munch present-less and frustrated, so she dropped me off. I went out to dinner with my dad around 7... it's different, only going out to dinner with him. We've never really had much in common. But last night on the way home, we actually carried on a conversation. It's a rarity, but I'll take it where I can get it... Last night was entertaining. Like I said above, it's Mr. C's birthday today. Last year, Munch, Lisa, Steph, Amanda and I set up a dinner at Sekura Tokyo (really good Japanese food) and a huge surprise, etc. This year, we didn't have quite so much time to plan. Last night at 9:30 or so, Munch called me and we got right to work. She got in touch with Krista for information, and we got some supplies. At 11:15, we went over to his house and decorated his car: balloons, window-writing markers, letters across the windshield, candy, and streamers! It took us an hour to put it together but it was a lot of fun. I hope he got a chance to see it (and take it off!) before the rain set in today...
Mom is bringing McDonald's over for dinner tonight so she can continue taking the house apart. Yesterday, she took all of her books from the huge shelves in the living room, so they are empty now. This sucks, but at least now she is looking for her own place. I wouldn't mind visiting so much if I had a space of my own to go to. At Lisa's, there isn't anything of mine... it's just awkward, that's all. I keep reminding myself that this is a temporary thing and she'll be on her own two feet soon...
It's funny how things change... I was reading over some journals of mine the other day (I do that from time to time... and for those of you who don't know, I have kept a journal every day since October 1, 1995. That makes for 25 journals, ranging from those really cute fashion ones to 5-subject notebooks... all full up on my life) and I got back in touch with what my life was like years ago. It is especially entertaining to read my high school journals... I was so scared to go to college. It went from me being interested in the military, to questions about what college would fit me best, to the day I got accepted to UCONN. I knew I couldn't leave music out of my life, but I wasn't sure if I could dedicate tons of my time to it by joining the UCMB... It's awesome how far my thoughts have come since then! To think I was scared to go to a place that I now consider a huge part of my life. The people I have met there have become my best friends and my brothers. What more could a girl ask for? And my friends from Southbridge... it's like I have to get to know them all over again. The ones that I value most will always stay close. The others will fall into their own lives, seperate from my own. But with that seperation will come not a feeling of unrest and uneasiness, but rather a certain contentment, b/c we had our friendships, and just drifted. No hard feelings, no regrets, it just happened. Change is okay! I had the hardest time understanding that, which is probably why I was scared to go to school, to leave my friends, to deal with my mom leaving... I think now, I have come to terms with the fact that it is okay for things to change. I don't live in a perfect world, but then again, no one does. I'll end with a quote: "This is the place where I learned to live this life, to curse this life, and to claim this life for my very own." -Jodie Foster
(*gasp*) merrrr... I'm done! Time to hit the shower and get ready for whatever tonight may hold for me! No doubt, more crazy times with Munch and a good cd... (namely, Guster lately. I got her hooked!)
Peace out!
