hey kids. so livejournal's been a bitch all day, and it's finally letting me update, and i don't remember why i wanted to update. well, matt's leaving for army camp tomorrow. it sucks majorly that i won't be able to talk to/hear from him for the next month, but after talking to him last night, i understand better why that is. and i don't like it, but i'll live with it. i plan on writing to him and just saving the letters for when he gets back. today i came up with the idea of just writing in a journal to him, which is brilliant because i have at least two or three blank journals just sitting around with no use . . . however, these blank journals are of course in a box in landrum attic, which i have no access to until i move back to school. curses. i'll see if gwen has any, or i'll just go buy one. i know that writing to him, even if he can't see it right away, will be therapeutic for me, as he's the one i talk to the most about everything. plus, it's a nice idea to have a journal of letters waiting for him when we see each other again.
on a random note, if any of you has any truly burning desire to know a little bit about my sex life, feel free to check out
this entry. it's not stuff i would just share with you all generally, because i respect that not everyone wants to hear it, and it probably falls under the tmi category. but it's there if you're curious.
i got a letter from miss laura lake the other day. that made me very happy; i'll have to write her back soon. friday, the day after tomorrow, which cannot come soon enough, i will be on a train to newport news to visit miss sara brown and miss kelly singleton. :D SOOOO excited. not sure the exact itinerary, but one day will involve a trip to busch gardens with sara. i'm really looking forward to seeing them both, because i'm starting to get a bit homesick finally. that's the one HUGE benefit of having kept myself busy this summer up till now - i haven't had a chance to get really depressively homesick yet. in comparison, this summer is infinitely better than last summer. next weekend, the 9th-11th, i'm going home for a visit, and apparently we're having a barbeque for my cousin brandon's birthday. then MY birthday is coming up, too, on the 23rd . . . but i have no idea what i want, lol.
i think the nights will be the hardest . . . my typical evening activities involve coming home from work, getting comfortable, usually eating dinner, making my lunch for the next day, and then talking to matt online until i go to bed. so maybe i'll actually be forced to find non-computerized human contact now or something. eh, probably not. speaking of computers, the first thing i'm going to do with my paycheck on friday is order a new motherboard for my baby. and then i will FINALLY have a working computer again, and not just any computer, but MY computer. i really do love my laptop, and was going to be quite sad if i had to get a new one. man, it's been 3 1/2 months since i've been able to use mine, how sad is that?
and just so you know, it's fun to wear something sexy that no one knows about, like say . . . a black lace bra with pink ribbon trim. ;) ::whistles innocently:: (ignore the fact that i can't whistle.) oh, i didn't tell you about sunday! tala and i met for lunch at the cosi in reston town center - it was lots of fun, and she's a sweetheart. i'm glad i've adopted her as my freshman, hehehe. then we wandered around and shopped a little - i bought two shirts on sale from express, both green! i love express, but they're usually so expensive i don't even bother going in. hooray for sales. but really, i'm done buying unnecessary things for the rest of the summer. even with my grant and all my loans, i need to be careful with my money. i want to know that i'm taken care of for BOTH semesters, not just one. so no more buying fun things for alia. ahhh, but i do have a birthday coming up, hint hint! lol. much love, kids, i'm off.
