So, I was going to post all day, but then I kinda just...didn't. Not that I did much else, either. Sure, I make to-do lists, but do I actually take care of them? Apparently not. I'm such a retard.

And today and, well, for the past few days, the homesickness has really been kicking in.

Oh my God, I love this post. Seriously. And I'll tell you why (this is going to be a long comment - but don't complain because this was a long post!) That whole first paragraph (not the 2 lines, but the big one) is so me right now. I miss being around my family and friends and hate the drive home, and don't like my job, but I feel like I need to do it. I have a message from a pal from bowling this past year who I love talking to and hanging out with, but it's like now that I'm here, I don't feel like talking on the phone to anyone who isn't my parents or Erica. So weird. I also have to call people I used to bowl with to tell them I moved - yeah, I didn't even do that. I also still have to send a thank you card AND cash a check from my mom's friend that she sent when I first moved here ... TWO MONTHS AGO!

And the second paragraph, I feel like that a lot. There have been times in the past year, maybe year and a half, where I've felt really down and consider going to talk to someone, but then figure I have it pretty good. Growing up was hard with my mom having her own psychological problems, and whatnot, and I feel like it's made me part of who I am today, for the good and the bad, but I can't really blame how I feel about things now on her. And just in general, yeah my job sucks, I'm disappointed in it, I wish I hadn't moved, I miss my friends, I feel like a let down, etc, and yet I don't think it's that bad compared to what's going on around us to actually sit down and have someone's ear on it.

See, John did do some song at the end of Your Body... and I knew the words, so I was singing along, but ever since I woke up the next morning, it's left my mind of what song it actually was. So aggravating. I can blame it on the lots of alcohol I drank ::nods::

I don't go the speed limit. I speed. A lot. My three speeding tickets proves that. I don't know who you're behind who doesn't speed. Illinois drivers were always known as crazies, however, that's mostly, perhaps, when you're closer to Chicago. I drive like a nut in downtown Chicago, and on the surrounding highways, but you have to be an offensive driver down there.

If you ever become a famous singer, can I be your publicist, or something? I'm sure Leslie has dibs on this, but I can be a kick ass assistant, maybe?

It's a deal!

Aww, I love you lots. I forgot I never replied to this! I'm sorry things were the same for you then that they were for me. And I'm sorry this took me so long to reply. Just think, you don't have to be at this job forever!! You can quit...eventually. Maybe not when you want to, but soon enough.

Alcohol is bad. It makes you forget things.

I figured as much. About you and speeding. Yeah, Illinois drivers up in Door County generally drive slow. Because they suck. And are all either old or are like, "Hey, look at the cows!" or, "Look, a big open field!!" and stuff.

If I do become a famous singer, I will so totally employ all my friends that want to be employed. And you can pick what you want to do. :-)

I'm going to give you matching Gavin, because it's Gavin, and because I'm seeing him tomorrow night.

Anyway, it's funny that while things about my job still bother me, and so does the company, I'm starting to be more open and social at work, which makes things much more enjoyable. We have this little break club thing going on - not officially a club, but the same people hang out and chat during break - and now it's like it's moving over into lunch because we've been sitting outside lately. So, so fun.

I sped while in Wisconsin and was stuck behind many-a-slow-person! Also, Illinois people drive a little slower in Wisconsin because we know the coppers are looking for the Illinois plates!

That totally rocks. I'll just be a personal assistant or something. But I'm not doing your laundry.

That's true. So, I guess when you put it that way...still, they could at least go the speed limit.

That part I don't know about ... I was doing close to 80 in 65 the entire time. We made like record time. Partly because I'm brazen, and partly because I had the new car for less than a week, and honestly, you cannot tell when that baby is moving or when it's not, it's so smooth!
