i'll come back when you call me, no need to say goodbye
so busy lately this spring. it was really rough going to summer classes. really had to push myself that last week because i knew i already had an a. after that was done things have been awesome, we went out a bunch to various places in the burgh. the night after class, we went to mount washington and had a friggen sweet dance party/box wine slaughering. so much fun and so many laughs and dancing and singing all saints. what else have i done? i went home for michaels birthday way back when and it was so exciting to surprise him and see him only for a few hours. it makes me want to go home so much, but i feel like i have to keep reminding myself that things wouldn't be any better there. i've been hanging out a lot with work people, which is fun. we went to some food places, we went to a movie in the park, we went out and played games. it was good times. and then just doing stuff in squirrel hill to enjoy my last couple of weeks here. it's sort of sad to be leaving. i really like this apartment and i love this community. there some cool shops and it's great to go running here (mostly because everything is a crazy huge hill). i'm moving out to the burbs in about 2 weeks. and i haven't even started packing yet. ahaha. trainwreck style. i'm sad not to be at home. and i'm sad that i'm not done with school for the summer yet. but i'm excited because i'm getting a master's degree in august and i got a promotion and i'm applying for another job and michael got a job as full time teacher. so things are looking up. tomorrow workmates are supposed to go to kennywood, but it's looking like a storm outside now. i think that this is the same storm that killed those boy scouts a couple of days ago. it's weird to think about that. it makes me really scared. in columbus, we had a tornado siren every wednesday at 12, every week. i told someone about that here and they were like "pittsburgh isn't located in a good place for tornadoes". storms are still kind of scary to me, especially sleeping. i mean, what if something happens and you never wake up? there's just so much electricity and unpredictableness. it was sort of ironic today too. i was working at reception and this little boy came in from a camp to wait for his mom. he was sick and looked really sad and so i gave him the toy that we had in the office, which was this little cyclinder filled with liquid that you could spin and make a cyclone. i was going to make a comment about the boyscouts, and how giving that boy that toy at that moment was probably not as comforting as i was hoping, but i abstained. it probably would have been innapropriate.
in much more exciting news, i paid off all my credit card debt (which was from school stuff) with loan money, and also saved some for paying for a parking pass, books, and school stuff. also, i'm taking a trip with michael to dc train-style, so that's sweet. and i'm going to disney with family. it's hard to hear about tim russert dying of a heart attack when he's in his fifties, that makes me want to come home immediately and be with my parents. i guess with that logic though, i would want to live in a compound with everyone i love so i could never be away from anyone. i think that might get a little out of control though.
here's a random list of musical artists i'm all about right now/why:
-The weepies: they are seriously singing about everything that is going on in my life. it's like sort of pessimesstic, growing up, poppy, optimistic, in love, amazing stuff. i listened to the song "can't go back now" like a million times when my car broke down and i felt like garbage.
-Katy Perry: her song "i kissed a girl" is getting really big right now, but i really like waking up in vegas and lost. she seems like she'd be fun to out with and i ordered her cd and can't wait to drive around and rock out to it.
-Drive By Truckers: it's like if steve earle had a baby with someone and it's awesome and i super appreciate alexandra playing the song danko/manuel about two of the singers in the band, good stuff. they are sort of vulgar and like country/rock, it makes me feel like i'm hardcore and from the the streets (of alabama)
aight i'm getting bed old lady style... or attempt to do so in the thunder storm.
