New Places and Loud Noises
So, a lot has happened since my last post (which is friendlocked).
I've moved, I'm living in Belton with Tim, one of my coworkers, and another guy. They happened to be interested in getting a new roommate, and Tim was willing to help me out. So here I am. In Belton. Woooooooo..
I don't like Belton very much. It's really far away from everything, and I'm completely dependent on Tim to get me to and from work. Which I really hate. I want to be able to be independent.
I started this entry really early this morning, but then I spent the entire day with a friend of mine, so it kind of got pushed off to the side.
Today was fun - finally found that summer bathrobe I've been searching for for the last couple of years (really wish the blue one I used to have hadn't disappeared in one of my moves), it's really comfy, pink, and has fruit on the lining! I also bought a new copy of Beautiful Katamari to replace the one Nick sold without my permission. I can't play it yet - I need an Xbox 360 first - but I have it, and I am excited.
Oh, I remember why I titled this the way I did now.
This morning, after being up really late (for me), I found myself being roused by a dumpster being emptied at the ungodly hour of 7:30. So I've been up and on the go since then - spent a lot of time walking around town with Nikki. Tim came with us for a trip to Game Stop, but when we said we were going to Main Street to look in the antique stores (which we never got around to doing), he decided to split. Then we went to Target, bought boxer briefs and my bathrobe, and then walked to her house, which isn't too far from mine. It's walking distance, at least if you want to take a half hour walk, which isn't too bad. (I just checked the distance on Google Maps without knowing Nikki's exact address, and it's a little over a mile away - when we were growing up in KCK, we were only 3/5 of a mile apart or something, the whole walk was about ten to fifteen minutes, depending on how much we were screwing around. So we're still within walking distance of each other.)
It's really crazy - we haven't seen each other in 6 years, haven't spent any real time together at all in about 8 years, and you'd think we've seen each other every day, the way we get along. Things are still tentative, it's kind of like a new friendship being built on the old one, because we're such different people now. I never expected her to have a baby before me. Logan's completely adorable, though. Total heart-stealer. He's not always adorable, he came close to making me throw up a couple times today - when he spit up what looked like half his bottle on my skirt (the reason the boxer briefs were bought - walking in a skirt is painful when you're not a skinny chick, and boxer briefs are more comfortable and less expensive than the shorts we looked at in the women's department), and when he pooped, I wasn't expecting it to look quite so strange or smell quite so... interesting. The spit-up was actually worse. I could deal with the poop, once I'd managed to not focus so hard on it.
It makes me wonder if I'd even be a decent parent. I'd be terrified my baby would do something gross and I'd launch it away from me before I vomited on it. Nikki thinks once I get used to it, or once I have one of my own, I'll be fine, but I wonder. Because I want a baby, and I love babies, but I'm afraid I wouldn't take very good care of a baby.
I think I need to wait more than just a couple of years. Maybe like five years.
Okay, seriously. It's 10 o'clock at night. Why are they emptying the GODDAMN dumpsters AGAIN?? If I wasn't working at 1 tomorrow instead of opening, I'd be FURIOUS, because they would have woken me up. Fuck. Stop it with the fucking dumpsters, trash fuckers!
Haha, anyway... in other news, the rash on the side of my neck that no one on here ever knew about is finally going away. I'm pretty sure it's going to leave a scar, though. Oh, well. Conversation piece.
Anyway, I'm going to go. I'm either going to watch Juno or Sleepless In Seattle.. haven't decided yet. Both movies were still in their shrink wrap until tonight, well, except Juno was previously viewed. But that's okay.
I'd rather be watching When Harry Met Sally, but I don't have that one yet.
All right. Good night!
