Third time's a charm
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I AM WRITING THIS BLOODY ENTRY. I AM TOO MAD TO WRITE ANYTHING NOW, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WRITING FOR BLOODY 35 MINUTES AND I'VE LOST EVERYTHING TWICE.
I had a great fucking day. I'm so upset! They were both really good entrys too. So here is a really brief synopsis because I'm too mad to write or even try to recreate everything that I had written before. Now I'm going to go to bed with a knot in my stomach because this makes me so upset.
1. Nahri and I spent the day together because I had the day off. We cleaned up, unpacked and built ikea furniture at her house, read wedding magazines, and drank 5-alive out of Campbells soup mugs. I helped her to purge, something that I've never seen her do before. She threw alot of stuff out, which made me really proud. Nar's a real packrat.
2. Then, Nahri decided that she wanted to go to Staples to pick up a few supplies. I think that she was really enchanted with the idea of back to school shopping - we went there, and she was so overwhelmed with everything that she systematically divided the store into areas so that she could cover all of the aisles. But at the end of it all, she only bought 2 things. I think that the idea was even greater than the reality for her that time. We also hit the dollar store for a flashlight and Zellers for a peek around before heading back home. Nahri REALLY loves riding bikes. Really. She can't wait to get one of her own. She likes my CCM (and I love riding marcus's old bike again...hahaha). But it's cute to see her riding around being so happy.
3. Are we on 3? Or is it 4? Anyway, then Nahri and I went over to marcus's house armed with a vacuum, a garbage bag, and a ton of cleaning supplies. Our mission was to gut out his room, and clean EVERYTHING that he owned. We reorganized his closet, moved his furniture, cleaned his carpets, laundered his bedding, washed the desk, windows and dresser, reorganized all of his papers, stacked his textbooks neatly, we PURGED PURGED PURGED, organized his drawers, fluffed his pillows and took out his trash. His room looks wonderful. I can't wait to see how excited he's going to be when he sees it.
4. We were going to go to Atomica today to eat our first meal at Emily's restaurant, but by the time we got home and got cleaned up, made phone calls etc, going back down to the water seemed like a very long trip for two very hungry people. So we opted for pizza, ravioli, ice cream cake, chocolate covered strawberries and just about everything else we could find in the house. I packed for my roadtrip tomorrow, and we watched Office Space together, which both of us were pretty much too tired for. We didn't even get through it. So that leaves me here at number...
5. Marcus is done done done work. Done like dinner. He leaves at 6am tomorrow for a 14 hour drive him in his trusty Jetta. If everything goes well, I should be seeing him Monday night, before I go to sleep (which I absolutly can't wait for). and finally,
6. I have my roadtrip tomorrow. I'm not really sure what to expect. I wasn't looking forward to it, but then alot of the OC's stared messaging me tonight, and I really am getting pumped to see everyone again. Especially the twins, courtney, Kathleen (even though I have every class with her next year). But what I'm not looking forward to is a night of drunkness. I just don't feel like it. That kind of stuff isn't me. Oh well. I'm all packed up anyway. Nahri lent me a really nice shirt to wear, and I need to be at the core by noon tomorrow. That's soon, so I better go to bed. Don't let me forget - I need to book a hair appointment, take the movie back and pick up some water before I go! I'll be back sunday. Wish me luck and say a little prayer for marcus for a safe journey back.
