home again!
Ahhhhh, it feels good to be home. away from that hosptial and the pervasive unfriendliness and awkwardness. it just wasn't fun there. i'm not saying they were a bunch of assholes but they definitely didn't put forth a lot of effort in making me feel accepted. sure there were the few that actually treated me like a normal person, but to the rest of them i was just student #41 or whatever and that was it. i just always felt like i was the new kid at school and no one wanted to talk to me or be my friend for about 15 weeks. to put it in short, i hated it there. granted i've had a lot worse with Midstate, but still, i thought it would be different the second time around, especially in vermont, but i guess i was wrong.
well in other news now that i'm home i'm back to being mom's slave. i've done so much housework in the past week i feel like cinderella minus the ugly step-sisters. the List is back up on the fridge and today i have about 4 things to do, one of which i was already planning on doing anyway so that's not so bad. but still, mom loves to think that she's the ruler of my life because i'm still her child and i'm staying at home because i'm poor and i don't have a place of my own currently. speaking of mom, she's still on her "i need to marry Andi off before she's 25" kick and i think this time she may have gotten it right. see, Sam (ev's gf) has this friend Zach at school who is my age, and currently single. so she and my mom worked up a scheme to get us together and see if it would work. so for the past few nights Sam has been inviting me out with her and Ev and bringing Zach along to boot. now normally i'm not into blind dates, i hate being hooked up with someone i've never met and usually my idea of someone is completely different than how someone else perceives them and then tries to relate it to me. but i figured, what the hell, i'll try it.
so we met, we talked, we laughed, we shared stories, and come to find out he's a total goofball like me, he's very nice, he's cute, and he's incredibly funny, which are never bad things. so i'm thinking this might work out. and last night we went to the movies after i got out of work because i'm in dire need of a social life up here and i figured there had to be at least one movie i wanted to see. so of course i had absolutely no idea what half the movies were that were playing and we ended up seeing Jumper because it was the only one i had seen a preview for and kinda knew the plot line. it was an ok movie, not what i was expecting but oh well, it got me out of the house. after the movie we walked out to our cars and did the whole procrastinating, talking thing waiting to see who would go in for the good night kiss and just when i figured i was going home without one he finally leaned in and planted one on me, and that just made my night. we ended up staying even longer, until almost midnight, talking and laughing and, yes, kissing. and it was very nice. something i haven't done in a long time.
so now i guess we'll have to see where this goes. i'm still a little hesitant about getting into a relationship again since my long history of assholes still haunts me. but i guess it's like everything else in life, you gotta keep trying because eventually you'll get it right. so wish me luck with this one, i hope it works out, i think i'm going to take it slow and see where it goes. oh, and confidential to Claire, he's coming down with me on Saturday to help move furniture so you'll get to meet him and tell me what you think. that and we could use the manpower to lift heavy furniture. speaking of furniture i need to go finish cleaning out the tv stand.
*sigh* my work is never done.
Toodles!
