It has been a very long time since I have even looked at Livejournal. Something about how a couple of you guys still use it makes me really happy. It takes me back a bit. I'm also really mad at myself for deleting entries. If I was having a shitty time or just trying to get rid of horrible things in my life, I would come here and delete every entry and start over. I kind of wish that I had never done that. Especially because I've had this thing since I was 15 or 16. Oh well.
Things are different up here in Marquette. Ever since this whole moving business started people told me that everyone up here is really nice. Mostly because they are slow...but at the same time really nice. It's an interesting pace. But I'm pretty sure it's the same up here as it is down there. You meet nice folks and assholes all the time.
I don't really have any friends up here. There are a couple girls that I talk to in class. They're alright but most of them are graduating soon anyway. I've been working at an empty Best Buy up here for the last couple weeks. Most of the people there are pretty alright. It was really neat to go into a Best Buy and not see one piece of product. Just shelves and empty isles. I figure I don't really need any friends up here. All the ones I've ever needed all live some where else. It's just Paul. I didn't know how it was going to be at first, but it's actually pretty amazing. The first week was super shitty and we were both on edge just because of all of the bullshit that comes with moving. Plus tons more bullshit that happened to us that shouldn't happen when you move into a new place. It was so dirty and we had to clean up after someone else. But now it feels more like a home. Our home. Not to mention that Marquette was voted the 3rd best city to live/raise kids in by forbes. How crazy is that.
Back in the days of 390, if you would have told me that I would be moving 400 miles away with the guy that jumped off the roof, I wouldn't have believed a word you said. It's crazy to think that we have been together for 4 years. I still don't believe it. All the dates of stuff are just different and I didn't really know what to go from so I actually sat down, looked at a calendar and figured it out. Just crazy.
I do love it up here though. The places, parks, and various places to sneak in a huge lake are just awesome. Being up here and in art classes again have really opened up my creative flow I used to have. Reminds me of high school art seminar, but ten times better. I will be here for a long time though. I just did an academic audit the other day. Basically I will be here for about 4 more years or so. My degree requires 145 credits. Minus the 25 I took care of at LCC. Plus the 12 I took this semester, I'm at 108 more to go. Oh school...
Other than that I miss the Green Door Sunday and Monday nights. I miss shooting the shit with Joey B at the Crystal or Arts or where ever we'd end up. I miss Ben and Liz Hager. I miss slurpees and gyros. I miss going random places with my mom just cause. I miss going to get JB's with my dad. I miss a lot of things but a lot of things here are turning out to be some of my favorites.
