so i am home.
it all started last friday. a week ago. i packed my bags. boxed up my life. and carried it, two heavy boxes at a time from my room to kyrstin's room. she helped, although maybe she shouldn't have. it was approximately ninety million degrees. [fahrenheit].
i called a cab. the dispatcher said my address didn't exist, but they could pick me up right across the street....
so rian walked me downstairs in our matching pink shirts [by accident] with my pink luggage. think barbie on vacation. with her gay male friend? i don't think ken ever wore pink.
he kissed me goodbye and i got into a cab that wasn't the one i called for. i got a little teary-eyed.
my cab driver was hilarious/weird & interviewed me about whether my boyfriend would miss me and whether i would miss him, whether i had anything else pierced, whether my lip ring got in the way of kissing, and finally told me i was very beautiful.
i started reading this book i borrowed from luke called extremely loud and incredibly close and i cried on the plane and i cried on the train home from the airport. and i was very embarrassed. it might not have been just the book though. i think i was stressed from packing and hadn't eaten enough that day and was maybe missing rian a little already. plus, the book is kind of sad, not only because it is about a kid whose dad died on september 11.
when i got home, my dad and i drove up to mt pocono for memorial day weekend. the rest of my family had driven up earlier that day. we celebrated my grandmother's 70th birthday and i got to go swimming [love swimming] and see all these family members/honorary family members that i never get to see. it was really fun. except when i got a huge bug bite on my boob and was scared i would die of lyme disease.
we came home late monday and on tuesday berry and i had our traditional panera lunch/gossip fest/middle school reminiscence. tuesday night i went to kaje's house to eat too many baked goods and see people i hadn't seen in too long. yay.
wednesday i woke up at 8AM!!! to go to the dentist. i got my teeth cleaned and my yearly? biannually? free toothbrush/mouthwash/toothpaste/floss kit. i also started reading a trashy [=historical romance] book called the courtesan starring a [shock!] courtesan called GABRIELLE CHENEY. LOLOLOLOL. so i got up to the part where the main characters finally have sex [page 350] yesterday and haven't picked it up since.
wednesday night i went swimming with krista whom i haven't seen in a million years but she was just as crazy as ever. <3 favorite part? well, hard to decide, but probably "I HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE THAT YOU ARE DATING A GIRL" "..."
yesterday i had an ice cream social with berry's mom [too kind!]. and berry. and then berry and i went to cosi with miriam where we talked until the guy had to come up to us and be like, "um. we're closed. lol."
and now you're all caught up on my life and i'll try to blog more frequently because lauren and i were swept up in a wave of nostalgia recently by reading our old entries and we realized we would never remember anything that happened if our lives if we didn't record it for posterity on the internet. also, i am hilarious in my old posts. or at least i think so.
of course give it another year and they'll probably be painfully embarrassing to read.
such is life!
1. you are a sap.
2. if i had been with ya on the plane i would have made fun of you. just sayin'.
3. it was a kind ice cream social, i'll admit that.
4. you forgot about when i drove by the house and honked.
