24 hours and counting!
In approximately 24 hours, I will be at the 'Berg celebrating my 21st birthday. I realize no one who reads this lives in my little Amish town (or anywhere close to it), but if you feel like making a road trip, you're invited. :)
I've still got a lot of phone calls to make. In the next week, most of my friends will be moving back to school or getting ready to move back, and soon after that, everyone besides me (and the slackers who don't go to school) will be busy w/classes. As usual, I can't believe the summer's almost over.
I stayed at Mike's Friday night. We get along really well until he acts inappropriately. He got me flowers and chocolate b/c he knew I was pretty bummed, which was sweet. But then he kept trying to kiss me, which was not sweet. It pissed me off, but it's a touchy situation b/c I want to maintain our friendship, but he has to accept that hooking up is no longer an option. Otherwise, I'm just not gonna hang out w/him until he can grow up and stop acting like a selfish kid.
Saturday at Cornwell's, I talked to a girl I was in basketball, volleyball, and track w/in high school. She graduated 2 years before me, and we didn't really keep in touch or anything, so I had no idea what she was doing anymore. So yeah, turns out she's living in San Diego, LOVES it, thinks that I will also love it, and gave me her contact info so I can meet up w/her when I'm in San Diego (b/c I think I'm going there for fall break, maybe, hopefully). So now I'm like, shit, I don't know if I should apply ED to the U of I anymore. Her fiance goes to Thomas Jefferson (not a good school, but he got a full scholarship, which is pretty much amazing for a law school), and she's friends w/some people who go to USD. Sooo yeah, I'm excited.
I talked to AJ for a long time Saturday night. I told him I can understand now why people want to believe in an afterlife. It seems like it would make things easier to accept if one can really believe that someone is in a "better place" after death. He's not religious either, and his cousin was in a fatal accident a few years ago. It was weird to hear him talk about something serious w/sincerity. I don't think I've ever talked to him this summer w/out him being under the influence of either booze or pot. Whatever, though. AJ high is hardly different than AJ sober.
Concerts! I haven't been to a show in forever. I need to go to concerts this year. Have Weezer and Foo Fighters finished releasing all their tour dates? B/c they HAVE to come to Stl. I say so, and that's final. Last year I was so busy w/rugby and volunteering and taking too many credits and libertarian stuff that I didn't go to a single concert. AJ doesn't want me to play rugby this year (partially b/c he doesn't want me to get injured again; mainly b/c he wants me to have more time to visit him), which I've been considering b/c I want to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want w/out having to worry about prior commitments. Aah, dunno what to do. Shiiit, man.
Gonna go clean my room b/c if we meet up over here before going out, I don't want to look like a total slob. Pretty much, I've gotta move all the stuff that's going back to Stl w/me out into the garage, and then my room will be something like 83% less cluttered. Right now there are like 4 big Rubbermaid containers making it impossible to walk from my bathroom to my bedroom door w/out jumping over something or taking an abnormally large step (slash leap).
