I'm really sad some people haven't figured this out yet. I'm not a controllable person. You can tell me what to do all day long, how i should do things, how i should see something, why i should look at it your way. If you don't put forth a compelling argument, I remain true to my stance. I educate myself to the best of my ability and form a decision or opinion and that is mine. Just because it is similar or different or if I argue the devil's advocate position doesn't make me stupid, uneducated, obstinent or anything else. It means that if you're going to put your views on me though I don't care for them, I'm going to argue against you just because I don't believe you should be pounding me with your views. I'm intellegent to make my own decisions. I've been old enough to do so for many years now. Thank you. Now shut up.
That said, Life is actually going well right now. I'm happy without all the politics and the grapplings. Work at the farm is pretty much over, it was nice to have money for a little while, it's all downhill from here. I have one more housesitting job before the end of the year that will bring in more income but for the most part, just one paycheck from here til May.
Trent and I went to Chicago this past weekend to visit his friends and mine. It was really nice to chat all the way out there, playing old car trip games and things like that. I really enjoy that we can spend that much time together and still enjoy conversation. We had dinner with my friends then he left to go across the suburbs to meet his friends and we stayed split like that til sunday morning when we all met for breakfast. They had done so much partying and livin it up that I ended up driving home while Trent slept most of it. Well, he at least slept the first half or so. Finally I stopped and forced him to eat something and by the last quarter of the drive, through one of the first major snow storms of the year, he took the wheel back over. He's not a person that likes being driven but during the complete whiteout of the snow, I didn't mind that he wanted to drive. Yesterday we staved off the work week one more day and had a "staycation" day at his house. He hit the gym, I did a little studying and cleaning up (laundry, bathroom, made dinner to be all domestic). We went grocery shopping, ran a few errands, and did dinner together. It was good times. He even said he really enjoyed days like that. I didn't even look up before he told me to be patient. :) Oh yeah, over the weekend we decided we were going to be the creepy in love kind of old people that know what each other is saying and are moving to do it before the sentence is done. We're too much the same people sometimes.
Today, my goal is to get things done for school. I have a minor paper due tomorrow that takes quite a bit of research. I want to have that done today and possibly the last rewrite for another paper that is just due before the end of the semester. If I have both of these done, I'll be able to just concentrate on the final paper, which is huge. All this must be done at work though so probably I should get up and get to that. It was nice to have been able to have lazy mornings...
