So listen to all of this
First off, I don't know how updated LJ is on the whereabouts of my parents. Of course we all lived in Hawaii together, then I left, and they left shortly after to stay with my sister Casey. Her husband was overseas in Iraq so my parents helped out with her two daughters etc for like a month. My parents then moved back to Austin and lived with our family friend Rex while my dad continued applying for jobs all over the place.
Well randomly he got a job in Tennesse, right outside of Nashville (like 30 mins). They drove up there yesterday and are now looking at rent houses. Weird! They are even supposed to sign a lease on Monday for a house on 3 acres with a great view of mountains and a pond on the lot.
I am tentatively planning to go there Nov. 25th through Dec. 1st. My mom says I would really like it there. I already looked at tickets and talked to my work and have the money...I just want to make sure Stas won't be sad...well just not too sad...
Also! Speaking of Stas. We will have been together for a year on November 25th (yeah I know it's the same day I plan to fly out but neither of us really care about that anniversary stuff. It's not like we're gonna buy presents...and it's not like we can't just go out to eat/be nicer to eachother on any other random day) This is my longest relationship ever. Which I always want to feel guilty about but dude I am 20...if I had been dating a guy for even two years by now, you know how much changes from 18 to 20?! What kind of idiot would I be with and how little personal growth would I have? That is just me though. I don't think super long relationships at a young age were for me at all. (I mean I still sometimes worry that I am not experiencing being 20 to the fullest since I am with an older guy and living with older people etc)
Point being....I am super happy and thankful for the past year. We have "lived" in 5 different states together, driven a ton of miles, met eachother's family and entire past lives and are now getting closer to a wonderful epic trip.
We have had our house to ourselves since Halloween and no one gets home til Sunday or Monday. This is the first time we have ever had a whole house to ourselves since we've lived together. Needless to say, it rules.
So...remember how I used to always have a million new pictures? Well do you remember that I got TWO cameras stolen from me last year? I have not had a digital camera of my own since October of last year. Stas has one and it's fine but it is bulky and a pain in the ass to upload etc etc. SOoooooo...I bought a Sony Cybershot at this website that has amazing closeout deals on like surplus brand new electronics!!!!!1111111111 Yay! I am excited. I looked at cameras for like 2 months. I was trying to let Stas convince me that Sonys are evil and I should get a Canon...but honestly...I am a Sony-whore (as I type on my Vaio) and I am used to Cybershots and Canons are still too awkward shaped.
So now maybe you're thinking "How do you have this extra money for tickets to TN and Digital cameras...etc....aren't you saving up to go to South America?!" Well folks...I hit my goal on the South America fund. WOOOO! We are still going to be here until mid-January or so (at least) so I am still going to work and save up even more money.
I never followed politics, mainly cause I was too young and also because I think governments/politicians are corrupt but this year was different. I followed this whole thing pretty damn close and did my own research on both Obama and McCain. I agree a lot with Obama's views and I also love him as a person/speaker. (his looks ain't too shabby either...killer smile) I also like Biden a lot and he is a super family man. Michelle Obama is a badass and funny. I was so happy/excited about this election and the outcome. I am interested to see what happens in the next four years.
Alrighty on a last misc. side note: I am super happy not to have kids. TONS of people from my graduation class had kids in the past year (and shotgun weddings too ha ha). All of which also went to Grisham with me. Something about GMS man...all of us stayed in Austin for school/stayed in Austin and didn't go to school and a lot of them got prego. Anyway- to me a lot of things in life are over and you can never do them again when you have kids. Lately even I don't ever want to have kids cause I think the female gets screwed over. Doesn't matter because this is not even a topic of debate in my world (or uh body) for several several years anyway.
Here's to being young and free!
