(no subject)
Got back to Columbia yesterday afternoon and efficiently unpacked and partially cleaned the apartment. The trip home seemed to drag on some days, but fly by others. I'm glad to be back here and alone for a few days. Tom is home in VA right now so I truly am getting some absolute alone time. Funny thing is, for once--the first time?--in my life, maybe I can think of some more appealing options than "alone in a cabin, cut off from humanity save for the internet."
Dottie and her little sister Nicki are also back in Columbia. Nicki is going to help her get packed up and moved out. I need to make sure to help out a lot, too. I think I'm the type of person that can adjust well to change, but it's still going to be weird when she's gone. She and Liz are my best friends and they'll both be gone. Tom and I have gotten a lot closer over the past month and he's definitely a movie/shopping buddy. Alison also moved back into the building, but she can be shady about returning calls. And there's always Gillianne.
Whose house I'm supposed to be stopping by today. I need to take her her Christmas present. I should probably get in the shower. Blah. I've been taking NyQuil for the past week and a half, but I didn't take any last night just to see how I'd sleep and feel this morning. And it's about the same as with so I'll cut that out. I'm also out of DayQuil so I won't be taking that. I've had this cold for the past two weeks, but it's not turned into an infection. Still, I might go to the health center and see what they say. It's just slight congestion and an occasional cough, but I don't want those things bothering me on the trip.
The trip. Driving across the country with Dottie to L.A. "What an adventure." That's what people say. It'll definitely be a fun trip. I also hope we'll have a few days in L.A. I mean, she'll have plenty since she'll be living there and all. I haven't been good about planning the trip with her, though. I think it overwhelms me. I've been pushing for the "wing it" approach, but that's driving the "plan it" part of me a little nuts. And, I'm sure Dottie would like to sit down and plan some stuff.
Anyway. What else was I going to say here? Saw Peter Pan on Christmas. xrogue81, you need to see that. What are you doing on January 8th? Dottie and I will go with you :) It really was a fresh take on the story. And there were some adorable lines. "One girl is worth twenty boys." And "Oh, the cleverness of me." Maybe those are from the original stuff, but they were delivered oh-so-adorably.
Boone came over last night and brought Heartbreakers. Pretty funny movie. He was in a bit of a pissy mood, though. Like, we talked the night before last and he suggested he come over here and hang out a little bit when I got back to Columbia. Well, that suits me because he always wants to hang at his place, which is actually probably why he suggested coming over. Anyway, last night, he called and was saying how tired and stuff he was from work (which he's really starting to dislike) so I was like "well, you don't have to come over if you're tired." But, not even in a "yeah, you could choose this option, but I'd be really disappointed" kind of way. In a totally sincere way. Anyway, he came over. He wasn't a dick...and he really wasn't even pissy. He was just quiet. That's an unusual thing. Oh well. When he left he said we should hang out tonight. I might have to exercise some will power and say no if his mood hasn't improved.
Anyway, this entry has gone on for too long. Hope everyone had/is having a happy holidays.
