My 19th birthday was chaotic but fun. I woke up late, got a call from my mom around 12 asking me to go over to Bill's and watch him for a few hours. My parents had gotten a call about a huge sale in some warehouse in WB that was practically giving away appliances. So my parents went up and I went over Bill's and a few hours later I get a call from my mom saying the bought: a new double door, freezer on the bottom refrigerator, a new stove, a new dishwasher, a new microwave, AND a Neptune digital washer and dryer. ALL stainless steel, and all for $1500. They are freaking insane. So we had to return the frig we just bought because for that alone we paid 1500. The appliances aren't all in yet, except for the washer and dryer, and I don't know if I'll be home to see the total renovation of appliances in the kitchen. Crazy kids.
My parents took me, Heath, & Sarah out for dinner at Coopers and it was delicious. =) Then we had family and the neighbors over my house that night and it was cute. I got Sims2 University, so all us kids were huddled around my laptop playing it for like 2 hours.
Heath and I packed up my Cougar and headed north on Sunday afternoon and arrived in the 'Cuse at a whopping 9 degrees. We rearranged his dorm room and cleaned it, which took like 2 freaking hours. But it looks really nice. He color coordinated his clothes and alpahabatized his DVDs while I laid in bed. What a goof ♥. I met all his friends and they are AWESOME . I especially loved Colin. He is flipping hilarious and the CRAZIEST kid you will ever meet. He's the most punkish looking kid I've ever met, and says the funniest things. One night we walked into Lauren's room and he was wearing a pink, one-piece, girl's snow outfit. He wasn't even going outside, he was just wearing it for the fun of it. He was obsessed with Martin Luter King Day, and celebrated it by eating quesadillas and watching Hustle & Flow.
We also saw Timo's room which, as I expected, was insane. You don't know how happy I am he met such cool people. We had so much. It made me miss my SHU kids a hell of a lot, though I'm so damn excited to see them every single day again. They are my second family ♥.
I don't think I've ever laughed so much with Heath in the year and a half I've known him. At one point we laughed so hard we were on the floor, and I looked up and saw I had fallen and rolled under his leather desk chair. So I read the directions and warnings in Spanish that were taped underneath the cushion, then translated them to what I thought they meant and we laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
I have like a packing disability. On long trips I'm okay, but for a weekend or something I just pack the wrong stuff. For a four day trip I packed two outfits, a pair of pajamas, and flip flops. Flip flops in January in Syracuse, NY. What was I thinking? The sad thing is it literally took me an hour to pack on Sunday. So I ran out of clothes. I just wore Heath's AE and Abercrombie sweatpants and hoodies. I'm such a sped.
I've decided I am definitly transfering out of SHU next year. I love those kids to death, and I don't know what I'll do without them, but Cali is calling me. I'll have two years experience living on my own under my belt, I have confidance in myself I'll be okay. Man that's in like a year and a half. That's crazy. I'll be living in Califreakingfornia in less than two years. UGGGHHHHHH!!!!! That makes me so excited.
Saying goodbye was, as always, a bitch. But I don't regret all the times I do it. I don't even think I would change the heart-wrenching distance. You don't know how strong two people can become until they're ripped hundreds of miles apart. It makes you grateful. You don't take advantage of every simple night together. I think everyone should be far away from the one they love for a period of time.. and I actually feel sorry for the ones who are always close. It certainly tests your relationship. I love Heath, maybe mroe than I ever have. I don't know. It seems everytime we're together I love him that much more. And we're so much more than a couple. We are such great friends.
And I miss him already. We planned he would come out to Pitt in three weeks, Valentine's Day weekend. It's going to be a hectic, fun, three weeks though, and for that I am grateful. But I am so comfortable with him being there without me because he has such great friends there, and I know they'll take care of him.
So I'm back at home but counting the days until I pack up my life once again and move back to the dorm. There's really no one left in this ugly town for me, except Sarah. I don't plan on doing much except playsing lots of Sims2, hangin out with Sar, and slowly start to pack up my things.
Oh, how I wish Heath were here right now to watch some Dicovery Health with me.
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars,
I'd walk to you if I had no other way.
