My does time fly
Holy crap it's been a while since I wrote here. Life is life and as usual, it's amazing. John (my super awesome British boyfriend) came over from Manchester to visit me last week. He said he couldn't wait to come to American and fall in love with me all over again :) Good boyfriend, or best boyfriend? He got me an amazing silver necklace for Christmas, the nicest piece of jewelry anyone's ever bought me. He also cooked for me a bit while he was over (his homemade tomato sauce was rad!). I think he's right, I have been dating jerks.
We spent a lot of time in the city. One day with my parents being super touristy, then a couple days with mutual friends being super drunk. Fun times were had by all (even though it was cold).
I had three writing jobs before (Ripten, Negative Gamer, and Japanator) but I had to quit Ripten because the editor was outright rude to me. Oh well, stuff happens. The good news is that I can keep writing for Japanator while in England, hooray for having an income! Sure, I won't be able to spend that money in England, but it will be nice to have a bit saved up for when I get home
Nervous and excited about my upcoming semester at Edge Hill Uni! I still can't even believe that it's real. It's going to be way awesome. Angie and I have been trying to spend a lot of time together, since five months is a long time to be apart (even for best friends). Seeing as we've known each other for 10 years, I think we'll be ok ^__^ Who is going to make me fat off of Cheesecake Factory food? Who is going to come over, roll her eyes and do my dishes? Who is going to kill zombies with me and be excited over stupid things with me? It'll be tough, but...I'll manage somehow.
I'm trying to get together with as many people as I can while packing and moving everything in my apartment for storage. Saw some of my old high school friends like the Fay brothers, Alison Von Dollen, Jimmy Van and the Strandaliers, Adam Went, Katie Pace, Liv Goryn and Mr. Colin "Awesomeface" Murry (as well as all of their s/o's). So crazy thinking about how many of my friends are already engaged. A few days ago I got a call from Ledd, and we spent a couple hours just talking about life and it was nice. I think he felt bad that he couldn't see me. I'm not sure whether it was just because he was busy or the whole girlfriend thing. It's kind of dumb because when they got back together, I warned him that she wouldn't let him hang out with me (not without good reason, for course) but he said no, she had changed, promised it wouldn't be a big deal, blah blah blah. Whatever. If he's so whipped by his girlfriend that he can't hang out with other females, then that's his problem, not mine. Very cool that he's really doing a lot of writing and stuff about cars, since it's such a deep passion for him. He seemed really excited about the prospect of getting out of Jersey and going somewhere more awesome like California.
I missed the party at Joe's store because I went to my aunt and uncle's for a late Christmas celebration. They're some pretty cool people. The women (Fran, Mom and I) sat around and chatted while the boys (Tom, Steve, and Little Tommy) played video games. It's so funny to watch my family try to play Guitar Hero. They're so unbelievably bad, it's funny.
But Joe is having some sort of New Year's thing at his store, so wooo! I get to see everyone again before I run off across the pond! I'll miss everyone in Jersey, but I think England is going to be so amazing. I'm also staying in England an extra couple weeks, and I'll be living with John in Manchester. HELL YEAH! It will be amazing.
Anyway, I'm super tired from all the friend craziness today, so I'm going to pop in a Disney movie and fall asleep. Night all :)
