home cont., and other such
i meant to update this before i left so i'd have time to remember everything but i suck so now it'll be about half as long and interesting... oh well.
monday morning i woke up around 8:30 and first things first i had to return stuff to the library before they opened at 9:30 so that was kind of a mad getting-ready rush since i didn't remember this until around 9. did that. tried to go to the bank but DAMN COLUMBUS DAY ruined that... drove around shopping a bit, called adina at about 11 asking if she wanted to lunch but b/c she had class from 12-2:30 we had to do it immediately so i picked her up and we went to qdoba and i got to chat w/her and get the updates on her kids and such and she got my rantings about duke. it was good times. dropped her back off and told her i'd stop by later to visit her and brandon and dee and such. went to target and shopped a bit, called up lindsay and left her a msg and bo and told him if he didn't call me back i'd assume he hated me and never wanted to speak to me again. got some more greeting cards and then went to jobeth to write them in the peace and happiness that is that store. around 3 i left and went to the lab, brandon called me while i was on the way wondering where i was... awww people wanna see me ;) so i got there and jeff was in the hood so i found brandon and marvelled at how much taller he is than me and his new kinda shorter hair and jeff declared that he "heard a little dookie" and i replied that i heard a "certain north carolina fan"... i miss my lab! there were all these other people that didn't belong but naturally me, adina, brandon, and jeff had to have our long pointless conversation, congrats to jeff on the house and the baby girl coming in march! so finally i tore myself away from the coolness of my lab people (and i hope that slightly altered basketball team picture comes out on my camera... more on that later if it does, otherwise, stop by the snow lab sometime ;))... lindsay called and told we made plans to meet up at the arboretum at 6:30 so i picked me mother up from work and went home for din. headed out and picked up linds and we had THE BESTEST TIME, it was so amazing b/c even though i hadn't talked to her in a hella long time we had the MOST FUN walking around, taking pictures, talking about squirrel tails and bells and adopting plots. it was quite enjoyable. i dropped her off at 8 for a meeting and headed home to pack and such. ended up talking on the phone for a long time before going to bed and then i had to wake up at 7 to say bye to the mums. hung out w/the daddy for a bit outside looking at the pond and then we decided to get there early so i could go shopping (hey he suggested it!) but we ended up getting there a little later due to a nice little t-storm that rained on us... but we got there around 11 and i did some power shopping at ltd and aero til 11:30 and spent a good $40 b/c i rock like that. got the airport. first flight was a little late but i had a 2 hour layover in cincy so it was ok... until my second flight was delayed TWO HOURS FOR DAMN WIND. so i sat around and called people and wrote letters and wasted away my life til we left at freaking 5:10 but i got talk to a duke freshman and marc and sumesh waited for me which was sweet... got back and basically til now nothing of interest has happened that i really want to delve into...
and now for the "other such..." kind of in conjunction w/my half brain's thoughts... i don't know what to do. i feel like i'm losing a person who i never thought i would have to worry about losing... someone i could count on to not only be there for me but for themself (i know it's plural but we're going to keep this genderless for my own vagueness)... do i support them even though i don't think what they're doing is right and risk losing them or do i stand by and watch them just change into someone i don't know any longer and i'm not even sure i still want to be friends with? or did i just never know them and the person i loved so much just never really existed and i'm caring so much for something i never really had. i don't know. maybe i'm overreacting. maybe it's none of my business. maybe i'm totally wrong. but any way i look at it, i'm losing something i love and there's no maybe about how much that hurts and how complete frustrated and helpless i feel. so that's that. i'm off now.
