Hey livejournal kids!
Do you ever just sit back and appreciate the joy that is livejournal? I wish that I could force everyone I've ever been friends with to be on lj and force them to update regularly. I think it's just too easy to lose touch with people.
Anyways...
So, I had a dream the other night that Ellen, Erin and I were sitting around talking and all of a sudden we were in a musical. it was fantastic! but then it turned into a horror flick and we had to run for our lives (which was less than fantastic). Anywho, it made me miss all of you guys so much. Just being able to hang around and chat... the dream had the feeling of the old hoop. It was so nice. I guess it's just getting use to the idea that we are all really going our separate ways. Heck, Ellen's going to be in a totally different time zone! yikes! hahaha. We need to all make sure we get a reunion some day in the future. It's wonderful seeing a couple of you guys at a time but I miss the whole damn group, and queso, and crafts, and even (dare I say) peeps.
My mind wants to tell me that I can make friends again like that but the reality of it is... it was a miracle we all met up anyway. Hell, I don't even know how it all started really. All I know is it was great, and college was made infinately better being a part of such a group. Maybe it's just hormones (oh, yeah, no more worries of birthing a christ-child, sorry Erin), but lately I've really wished there was a way to tell people just how much they meant/mean to me. All sentiment like that just ends up sappy when I try. But yeah. I was mentally making a list yesturday of people I would drop everything I was doing to go help if needed and there were about 3 people I grew up with, several widows and you GKB gals. That's it.
So, yeah. I miss you gals. Hell, I'm pretty sure that the only people who read this lj are on my imaginary list of "people I would give a kidney to" so I miss you all!
Other than my need to be sappy, everything here is going well. Obviously getting a little nervous about having to interact with people in 2 weeks at orientation but it will be ok. Nerves are good. Looks like I get to take the courses I want to, so I'm excited about that. My mom's birthday is Friday so although she is working I get to make a cake. Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I'm looking in to various ways to frost it pretty. I got the stuff to make some chocolate decorations so we shall see. It's been a while since I got to cake decorate and all this Food Network Challenge stuff and Melody's cupcake inspiration I thought I might try some new stuff. No Fondant or gum paste (I'm not so good with that yet), but maybe pull out some old decorating tips I haven't used in a while. We shall see. Oh, and as usual... y'all should go give blood! It's not hard and there may have been some logic behind the whole leeching idea way back when :) And one other thing... to the fanfiction fans out there (you know who you are), how do you kick the habit? I swear fanfic is like a disease and I occasionally come down with it. But just as I think I am ready to stop, I find a new story with a million chapters to read and then I'm stuck. How do you end the cycle? Cold Turkey? *le sigh* Course come August 2nd I'll have a book to read again and that usually gets me off the computer reading. Hooray for Breaking Dawn! (screams the 15 year old inside my head, and I'd have to agree)
