Well, maybe just a cigarette more...
Yikes! It's been months. I think I like it that way.
Jillian comes back in slightly less than a week. I've spent so much time waiting for this moment that I almost don't know what to do with myself. Exciting, though! I feel like I should be preparing somehow, but am not sure what to do!
Working full-time at my pretend-grown-up job has eaten up the majority of my schedule, as well as most of my thinking space. (Oh, crap... did I remember to swap their room assignments before I signed out of RMS? Crap crap crap... she's gonna be pissed when she finds out she's still in the MODs...) I spend a lot of time acting like I'm much more important than the expendable student worker with little to no weight or input I actually am. The pay raise was nice, though. Sentences. So. Disjointed. Writing. Hard. To. Read.
I've been pretty down with this living alone thing. I have lots of space and can keep things as clean as I like, and don't have to worry about anyone else's comings or goings or whatever. Sure, the fridge stays dangerously empty and the bed dangerously full, but it's worked out okay so far.
What the hell does that mean, anyway?
I think I like where this is going, though. Lots of good new friends and opportunities. The responsibility is both daunting and refreshing, and I'm staying comfortably afloat. My closet smells like cloves, and I really like it. You know, because I really wanted to relive my wannabe perky-goth high school years. Yum. Win.
Given the circumstances, I'd say there's a good amount of stuff to look forward to. Jill, a new class, Puffin cruise, uh... yeah. Tyler has a new girlfriend who plays in Magic Tournaments, is applying for Ivy-League Colleges, and can run a mile in six minutes and forty-two seconds. (omg win) I told him to marry her immediately. I don't think he'll follow through.

New, and possibly destructive, habit born as a result of, uh... I'm not sure what
