My engagement. That thing I whined about for approx. one year? That thing that made me jealous and angry and depressed whenever I saw a new one happen on the FBs ( Read more... )

Winter vacation was great. Even though we were in MI for 12 days, it seemed to fly by. Each day was filled with something interesting, which I suppose is why time felt like it passed quickly. I saw family (Mills and Mercier, including my 94 year old grandfather, who, let's be honest, is probably not long for this world) and friends (some of the ( Read more... )

Everyone is getting married, and I'm clicking through engagement album after engagement album, and though thrilled, I can't help but feel jealous. I want that, too. I want the photos and the romance and the wedding and the commitment. I want the damn fairy tale, and I can't help but feel as though I'm missing out ( Read more... )

 So I've been with Steve for two years today.
And I'm celebrating alone, here at the apartment, by watching an episode of "Leverage," playing "God of War," and eating noodles with butter and salt. He, however, went to dinner with a supplier for his company. He texted me this at five. It's now seven and he still isn't home. Granted, he did at least ( Read more... )

I don't think that there could be any worse "gift" than that of immortality.

Oh, the things you would learn and see plenty. You could travel and experience and that would all be lovely. But as I see it, you would have two options: you would either have to live without connections or you would have to turn your heart to stone.

The first lifetime ( Read more... )

First: Why do I believe that my man will shower me with lovely surprise gifts one day? I know him, and he is not the "shower-her-with-gifts" kind of guy. He needs six types of justification and a three week waiting period before he can commit to an "impulse buy." I know this about him, and I know that he will not change any time soon, but there's ( Read more... )

I have an anthro midterm due on Tuesday. This means that I really want to clean the bathroom. Haha
Jill is supposed to be going to James' tonight. She's still here and I don't know why. She needs to leave so I can clean and then drink on the couch whilst watching a movie alone (because my Friday nights are really exciting like that.)

Work is really ( Read more... )

Corny title.

It was memorable, however. I met all of Steve's family on Sunday and they all liked me, according to his mom. His parents really like me too; they offered to drive me down to Lancaster with them to visit Steve when they go. I don't know if I'll be able to (work...), but the option is amazing.

We spent eight days together almost ( Read more... )

"On My Own" - Les Miserables

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to go, no one to turn to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city ( Read more... )

I want to be wanted.

That is all.
