Snowstorms in California?

Apr 21, 2007 14:08

So I had the weirdest dream last night, well, this morning actually, but that's not the point of this post.

So, back to my checklist from last post:
1. Boy
Okay, so I sort of met this boy. Well, I haven't actually *met* him. We met online. He left me a message and we've been chatting for I guess almost a month now. He lives in STL. Or rather he just moved back there from O'Fallon. He's graduating from SIUE in 2 weeks. He was in the military, has a full time job, and pretty much has his shit together. He's also 7 years older than I am. Not that that matters. He's really sweet and funny. So hopefully when I get back home we'll still be talking and friendly enough to meet in real time. He called me and woke me up one night when I was in Washington. I don't know how coherent I was, but yeah. He said it works out nice that CA is two hours behind the midwest because he's busy work and work, school, final projects, moving, etc during the day and doesn't usually get to sit and chill until late. So he usually ends up calling around midnight or 1am here (which is 2-3am out there). Anyway, it's really nice. I'm just hoping I won't fall too hard too fast. Not that I'm usually that kind of person, but this is so different. And I'm not exactly sure how he feels about everything, but the fact that he keeps calling has to be a good sign, right?

2. Washington Spring Break
So I went to Washington to visit Rick & Marty for Spring Break. Rick had a heart valve replacement a month before I went up there, but he was doing really well. Marty said I had excellent timing because they were getting so bored and restless being at home all the time. We definitely stayed busy though. We had Easter brunch at some friends of theirs (and I got hugged by people I've only met twice -- it was weird, and awkward, but whatever). Monday we did a few things around Sequim because the dogs had a grooming appointment and Rick had a doctor's appointment. But we drove out to the spit and walked a bit of the ways down (definitely not the 5.5 miles all the way to the lighthouse though). Tuesday we went to the Boeing factory in Everett. It was pretty awesome. I've been inside the biggest building in the world (by volume)! They were building two 767s while we were in there. And then we got to drive down the runways because they were doing construction. It was pretty awesome. After that we went up to Mt. Vernon and saw the tulip fields. In Washington they have the tulip festival there every year. And like how there's fields and fields of corn and soybeans in Illinois, there are fields and fields of tulips up there. Literally thousands upon thousands of them. It's insane. I took some pictures and they seriously look like something out of a cartoon or something, so gorgeous. Wednesday we just hung out a home a bit. We might have driven around Sequim some more, but I don't remember. Thursday we went into Seattle. We went down to UW. That is one freakin' huge ass school. It's like it's own little town. And then we did the Space Needle (very cool), and wandered through the Science Fiction Museum. Didn't do the Music Museum thingy because we had done a lot of walking and it was getting to be a bit much for both Rick and Marty so we went home. Friday we were going to go whale watching, but the ferry that goes out has to have 15 people sign up for it and they didn't get enough. So we just stayed home and I did laundry. Watched The Incredibles and The DaVinci Code while I was up there. And tons of TV. I love DVR. Came back to Sonoma on Saturday. It was a good trip, but I could have used more relaxation. But I guess it's good to stay busy.

Sidenote: I got into SLU! AND they gave me a $28,000 scholarship. Over a 7 semester period. So that cuts the tuition down to the same as it is here (but definitely more worth it -- as SLU is a MUCH MUCH better school). My dad was very happy about it.

3. I think 3 was "School Suckage"
Anyway, so Sonoma is lame. I'm SO ready to get the fuck out of here. 34 days left. Yeah, it can't end soon enough. And not to mention the fact that like all of my classes are all last month heavy. My entire grade rests on the shit that is due in the last month of school. In practically every class. It's stupid. So I've been doing nothing all semester only to have school kick my ass for the last 30 days. Oh well, it's definitely going to make May 25 and going home THAT much sweeter.

4. Was this the TV stuff?
So Drive is pretty amazing. I think everybody should watch it. Not to mention, it's like a Firefly/Wonderfalls reunion. I've seen so many people I know from those shows on already it's a little bit crazy. And, seriously, Nathan Fillion is always going to be Mal. I love him though. Yeah, Drive is awesome. Watch it.

CSI:NY -- so, finally we get some amazingness in Montana. And then.....nothing. Lame. But the finale should be even MORE amazing! I can barely contain my excitement. And I'm tired of Stella's HIV story. Just give her the damn results that say she's negative already.

I've been watching The Unit lately. I even got Veronica hooked on it.

Standoff got pushed back to JUNE. Here's to hoping it will actually come back at all.

Lost. I'm an episode behind, but I just can't help it. I LOVE Juliet. I don't know if it's just because I can't tell if she's good or bad. Or if Elizabeth Mitchell is just that amazing. But yeah, I'm loving third season a whole lot more than season 2.

What else do I watch?

Oh yeah, Grey's. I've sort of only been half watching lately. After the ferry shit. I guess I can kind of say it jumped the shark there. Meredith should be dead. But whatever. I knew Izzie's daughter was coming back. And Izzie and George are driving me crazy. Why couldn't they have just stayed goofy friends? How come George has to sleep with EVERYBODY? Seriously? Seriously!? I like Alex with Jane Doe. But there has been a serious lack of Addison that I'm not too happy with. She's getting her own freaking show, doesn't she get a fancy send-off? Haha. Whatever.

Bones. I love Bones. And it seems more and more. I guess I kinda even liked Sully. But I *definitely* love Stephen Fry as the shrink. Yeah, I love Bones. And things are certainly heating up, in all kinds of aspects. The murder mystery thingy they're doing in time with Myspace should be interesting. I don't really think I'll have time to participate, but it's an awesome idea.

Veronica Mars is coming back. Too bad I haven't watched anything but the first 2-3 episodes of the season. I DO have them all on tape though. So my TV has been tuned to it at the right time, it was just too much to keep up with last semester.

ANTM. I only liked one girl this cycle. And she's already gone. And they're incredibly predictable and who's getting kicked off. But I can't not watch.

The Incredibles: Incredibly cute. I think I might even have to buy that one.

The DaVinci Code: Very interesting. I'm sure that's only because I'm not religious. But I have to say I was intrigued by it. It did make me feel like an idiot though. I'm going to have to watch it again to catch everything.

5. Why being a non-teenager sucks.
So, the entire time I was in Washington. All I got told was that I look like I'm 14. Yeah, I know that. Thanks. I don't dwell on it, you don't need to either. Seriously. Get over it. I sure as hell am. It gets old REAL fast. That and nobody ever believes that I'm actually 20. "Are you really?" "No, fucktard, I'm lying to you."

I suppose that's a long enough entry for now. I should probably go get my oil changed before the place closes. Even if it is raining. I suppose I could wait until tomorrow and hope it doesn't rain. Or do it Tuesday. Eh, I dunno. The later I wait the better, because I don't want to have to get it changed again before I leave, or have to get it done while I'm on my way home. But I really don't see myself driving over 1,000 miles in the next 34 days.

Still don't have anybody to drive home with. My dad wants to do it. Marty offered. Nat backed out. Stacey is selling her car and flying home. Miranda probably won't be able to. I asked Megan and she wants to, but she's unsure about work. I don't really mind doing it by myself. But Dad doesn't really want me to. I pretty much just plan on pushing it. Driving 8-10 hours a day and getting it done ASAP.

I still want to go to the WCWS in Oklahoma the first weekend in June. But I'm not sure that'll happen.

We talked about stress in my KIN class last week. And according to some little tests we took, there's an 80% chance that I'm going to get a stress-related illness. Go figure. California certainly hasn't helped me any in that department. And it shows on my face. Ugh.
