(no subject)
hmm... well.. it's been a while, at least for a real update. I'm sure many, many (probably important) things have happened that I'll leave out. But there's at least a few things I remember worth mentioning=P
had fun memorial day weekend. nate took me to my first Portland Timbers game=) I was not expecting much, as I'm not a fan of sports in general, but sweet jesus! This whole huge group of people that nate goes with all dress up and yell and chant and get drunk and it's tremendously fun! Not to mention that soccer is by the far the most interesting sport I've ever watched. After the game drinking and playing pool at several bars ensued. I got the most drunk I've been in *quite* some time. I even woke up the next day still slightly drunk!=P
I went to the sandy river with nate and a few of his friends and we played frisbee. Well.. not so much *at* the river as *in* the river. Combining my love of frisbee and water turned out to be an awesome combo=) The river was only about waist deep at the most, until the far side, which we steered clear of. So it was easy to throw the frisbee but kinda difficult to go after it since the bottom is about a foot of sand and the current is pretty strong some places. But that just makes the game even more fun.. I dunno why I didn't think of this myself before!=)
That night I ended up walking about 40 blocks back to nate's, barefoot. The sandals I wore into the river were driving me absolutely fucking nuts and there was no way I could walk even another block in them. I was actually kinda proud that I managed to do it with, I think, minimal whinning (although I'm sure the alcohol helped with that=P) and no real injuries to my feet.
My Mom's is... actually pretty ok. I get irritated with both her and my brother on an almost daily basis. But still, over all it's.. nice. And I like my room here. With my curtains that arrived today (so I can stop using the oh-so-classy blanket over the window technique), I think it'll be pretty much complete. I just wish I had more friends here...
Speaking of friends - I'll be in Seattle in TWO DAYS!!#)* =D nate and I are coming up for the Shpongle/Hallucinogen party on Saturday night, and I needed to see the doc and go to the school while I'm up there, so it's been made into a slightly extended trip: arrive thursday night, leave sunday morning=) I am so, SO excited to see at least some of the people I love up there!
And the best, most important thing.. my "petition" was approved and I've got my financial aid and loans back and I'm starting again summer quarter (the 18th... EEEKKK!!) so they'll be giving me money again=D And this means I can *finally* buy a car! I'm thinking an 89-94 VW Golf or GTi or Audi 90. For the money I have I should be able to get one of those cars in rather good condition, so I think that sounds better than getting a newer car in worse condition.
Now I have to start thinking about what university I want to go to and start applying places. I've already decided that I'm going to get my BFA, and then decide from there where I want to go. A masters in social work has been sounding appealing for a little while...
oh yah, and did I mention SEATTLE IN TWO DAYS!?!? ;D
