So this is what happiness feels like. Sweet.
This has been one of the best weekends I have had in a long time.
Friday: My dad gets offered a job. IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME. Thank you to all of you who kept my family in your prayers, it means a lot to me, thank you so freakin' much. The job is in Clearwater, Florida, we'll be going down for February vacation. I think my dad and I are gonna drive the Camry down, then my mom and sister will fly down and meet us. This is so amazing.
Also on Friday, my dad went out and bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner because our old vacuum didn't suck enough. This new one is all funky and space-age looking, and it works perfectly. Excellent.
Friday night: Hung out with Seanathan. Jonathan and I rented Dark Blue, which we saw the first hour, then Kyle and Craig came over to Jonathan's house, and then we hung out with Sean again, and there was a trip to Panasia, and I don't remember much else. Fun night.
Saturday: I got my first college acceptance letter. This one came from UNH. I have a future! Somebody thinks I'm worth their time. I still haven't heard back from Fitchburg, and I just sent something to Emerson that was missing, so we'll see how those two turn out. I'll probably transfer down to a Florida school after freshman year because out of state tuition for Florida State is less than the cost of a year at BG.
I had work on Saturday night, it wasn't too bad. Afterwards I went down to Friendly's to meet Seanathan and Eric M, who were sitting with the notorious MJ. MJ sang some songs, he danced a bit, and we talked to some kids at the booth next to ours. It was weird and wicked funny. Gill was there with an extremely intoxicated Shep. I sat down to chat for a bit and Shep burst out laughing for no reason. 'Twas funny. Jonathan offended the girls, which was also hilarious. I think one of the girls thought I was cute, she kept looking at me. Or maybe there was something in my hair. Who knows? I'll most likely never see them again.
Today: Relaxed, which was nice. I went over to Jonathan's house for a bit and we finished watching Dark Blue. Pretty good movie. I also cleaned my room a bit; there will be a couple of appraisers coming over either Monday or Tuesday to give an estimate on the house. I found many articles of clothing that I haven't seen in ages. It was pretty cool. I have more T-shirts than I thought I did.
So this weekend has been pretty good. It was just great, there's no other way to describe it. I wasn't in a bad mood for the past 72 hours. My dad has a job, I'm going to college, and my dog is freaking adorable. I'm happy, and I like this feeling. I don't even care that tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I'm single. It just doesn't matter to me. I feel great.
