Dweeb-like.
So My room is a disaster. Well, slightly less disaster-y than it was earlier, I have straightened some of it up. Of course I have my bicycle in my room still, and I attempted my plan of putting it behind my wardrobe. However that hasn't worked out as yet.
(But I did just find this: You're welcome.)
I, uh, *trying to find a segue* ...I... also found an unopened box of Raisin Bran on top of my wardrobe. Win! So I settled for shoving it (the wardrobe, not the box) all the way into the corner and jamming my bicycle in the space left between it and my desk. Piled shoes, a chair, and some other random shit in front of it, and it almost looks natural.
Except it is staring at me mournfully.
"Why am I stuck inside? Just because you were a moron and crashed, and now it's snowing and twenty degrees F outside, that is no reason to trap me in here. You don't know how LONELY it gets."
Yeah. I tried to get a picture but my phone hates pic mail for some reason. And now my nose is bleeding. Must be winter.
Anyway. I attempted to straighten my room up and failed to make any real progress on that yet. My clean clothes are in the basket in the middle of my room, I broke the hook on my wardrobe that my sweatshirts and things were hanging on, and I failed after two attempts to get my Christmas lights up. But I did finally break down and hang a blanket over my window. I didn't know it was possible, but I do think that this particular window is more drafty than the windows I have in my bedroom at home. I think I can see the blanket moving in the breeze, honest. But the throw I picked is the perfect size and thankfully not too heavy. It's kind of a rough feeling blanket so I am not too upset losing it from my bed, and it has landmarks from my hometown on it, so I get to show off my pride. Whee. However my room is going to be super dark now, which will be nice at night but weird during the day. I'll have to find a way to hang these lights that I like, fast.
Today in Chem lab was the most fun I've had the whole semester. Which makes sense since next week is our last meeting. Of course. Kendra, Kathy and I worked together again (I carefully avoided looking at my old lab partner across the room) and we laughed and goofed while we worked. We all expressed a desire to stay with Anthony (our TA) for ever and always while trying to figure out his age. Afterward we left together to go across the campus, decided to wait for the bus, and Kathy saw her first snow, sorta. Sure, there were flurries in the air, and some of the grass was sort of white tinged, but if she thinks that was really snow then she's got a nasty surprise coming. I told her when it really snowed we would go out and make snow angels and take pictures for her friends and family at home. I think we may just seriously be roommates next year. *airpunch* She's not Anne, or Ontinia, or even Kaity or anyone else from home, but she is amazing and I think I love her.
So I fell asleep on my bed for two hours this afternoon and I awoke to my roommates talking in the kitchen and ordering a pizza. They didn't ask me if I wanted any. I really am so ready for new roommates, but that won't be until next summer. By then Brett will have graduated, Andrew and Stevan and the rest of my meteorology/geology friends will hopefully be living out here, Reed will still be at Iowa State and not somewhere else, and things will be so different than now. So I just have to put up with them a few more months. May seems alternatively so far away and far too close for comfort.
I haven't seen Brett since I have returned for campus, and I only had one attempted text conversation with him over break. I'm in this phase of trying to remember why he is so interesting. It isn't much, but at least I'm not thinking about him constantly. At least, not until I see him next and he'll do something and I'll remember and be crushed all over again. Here's hoping that situation resolves itself soon.
And I keep getting distracted by other things, so I think I'll cut this off and post it. But before I leave: This apparently came up on Tumblr last night and was subsequently reposted TWICE in the open thread at Fakenews_fanfic. Not all of you (okay, so none of you) follow that community and may be like me and have no idea what Tumblr really is about, so as a public service, and without any further words from me:
