I haven't disappeared into the chasm known only as mt. pleasant. I'm here. really. I just don't have internet because my apartment apparently has wireless and my computer is too old to do that.
First day of work went well. the apartment is great. lonely, but rueben will be here soon.
I thought i had a lot more to say. i certainly did when i was thinking in the shower this morning...

Do any of you guys cut hair or know someone who does? I need a haircut but I don't want to pay a billion dollars for one.

I think Zelda:Twilight Princess is the most satisfying game, both ending and playwise. There's nothing at the end about resetting time like nothing happened. And you still get to deflect magic balls with your sword! (note to me: try bottle) And Midna's smokin' hot.
I half expected Ganon to be up there conducting an orchestra the way that music was. It was awesome. (he'd turn around and be all Uh... ... what? then a concussion blast turns them to dust. (the orchestra))
Time to collect 30 or so poes and more heart pieces.
I love you all.
P.S. Typed this all on the Wii. It was a major pain.
P.P.S. Want to be WiiFriends? I have Voldemort. And Jesus. And Buddha. And Mr. T. And Christina Ricci. And Hitler.

Change is upon us.
I leave on Friday to move into my apartment in Mt. Pleasant. Classes start on the twenty seventh, Wheatland is the weekend of the seventh, the shower is before my brother's wedding which is on the thirteenth of October.
Then comes my parent's moving.
When I come back for Christmas, I'll have a new house in a new place. Actually, it'll just be the place I'm staying until I move on again.
All the lists and the planning in the world can't quench my anxiety.
I'm happy that Rueben and I will be living together. It'll be nice to be with someone I can get along with.
Oh, what am I doing? Rambling on like this? Another symptom of my anxiety, I guess. I have to go pack. I'm behind. And I have a dentist appointment in an hour and a half.
Here I go, out into the world/ Looking, searching, for something to/ Hold Onto.

Odd moods. Misaligned Chakra, or something? Not sure.
I have lots of packing to do. I wish I didn't have so much stuff.

Did I ever tell you about that time we were in Prague?
We were in Staromestske Square during the week of Easter and there was a festival. Along with various food stands, there was a stage where multiple groups of schoolchildren performed acts ranging from line-dancing to recorder-playing.
This group was my favorite. They wore yellow t-shirts and sunglasses while they sang a song in English.
The lyrics:
"...here to stay
Your body is a wonderwall to touch
I want you so bad,
Want you so much
Your body is a wonderwall to touch
I want you so bad,
Want you so much..."
The video:

Who is interested in visiting Kyle this month? I am for sure going to visit but my plans may be revised if others are interested in joining this journey. If a lot of ppls want to go we could probably take my fucked up but still functional minivan. If no one else is I might just drive anyway or hitch. Haven't decided yet. Anyway let me know if this is of interest to you.

It's amazing how some make up, music, and clothes can put me in a good mood. I was rummaging through my closet looking for 'lost clothes' - clothes that i haven't worn in a long time, but still like. I couldn't find any, so i decided pull out my luggage that's been in there since i got back from college this spring...and i found it full of clothes that i forgot about! And it's all cute stuff, too, and, i tried on some pants that didn't fit in april, but fit now! (even though I'm bloated to the gills). I didn't really gain any weight when I went to college, but i've lost about ten pounds this summer, so all my stuff fits a lot better! AND I put on make up and covered up my zit that comes every month from hormones and trimmed and shaped my eye brows and curled my hair a little while listening to some up beat music and I FEEL HAPPY!
I know, girly stuff. Ew.
In other news, I painted my old night stand/ small bookshelf silver and wrote quotations about books on the sides and top of it in black permanent marker. It looks really awesome, and the great part is that the words cover up the horrible paint job. I realized that 1. I'm bad with spray paint and 2. I didn't get enough. Oh well, it's done now, and it's not john deere yellow anymore, thank god.
I talked to a Brother from the frat last night and got a little anxious and guilty about an upcoming project, but I feel better now that I realize that I didn't do anything bad, and now, after thinking on it a bit, I realize that it's not so terrible, or difficult, or terribly diffcult, or rather, not as much as i supposed it to be earlier.
I'm excited for the next couple weeks. Transitions! I'm leaving my Meijer, moving into my first REAL apartment, and starting up at a new Meijer with new people and new drama and new everything. I'm really happy with the classes that i'm signed up for, and really excited about band again. AHHH!

Back to the simplest terms: listing
Things I hate:
Wasting ten minutes of my life arguing with a moronic, toothless old woman about the price of cheese she thought was on sale, but wasn't.
People who do a rolling stop at stop signs.
People who go before me when it's my turn at a four way stop.
People who pass me when I'm going the speed limit.
People who do the last three things within two minutes.
Feeling restless and uncertain.
Hot weather.
Going to work for a four hour shift.
I think that's it, for now.

I realize now that we need measuring cups.
I can't convert cups to tablespoons forever.

I can't wait until school starts and I actually have order in my life. Work is so crazy. My hours aren't set in stone and I hate that. I like something to work toward and I can't when working toward noon turns into five.
And I can't wait to take normal English-speaking classes again. I have two night classes for the first time so I hope that turns out okay. I never wanted to take a night class but both these classes are ones that I really want.
In other news, I love Canada. "Look, this isn't the 15th century. You can't go around the world and just plant flags and say 'We're claiming this territory.'" - Canadian Foreign Minister PETER MacKAY dismissing any threat to Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic after Russia planted a flag on the seabed beneath the North Pole.
"By comparison, Canada is a tension-free place." - JACK JEDWAB, director of the Association for Canadian Studies, explaining the increased number of Americans moving to Canada, which hit a 30-year high last year with discontent over the Iraq war and American politics.

I am riding the bus home from work because we only have one car.
Let me tell you, the GR buses are awesome. The bus drivers are nice and it's clean and easy to use. The bus talks and says what stop is coming up next.
Plus , today was an Ozone Action Day so the buses were free. Tomorrow is one too. Apparently, they are running free on the first 10 Ozone Action Days this year. I think that's awesome and they should advertise it more.
Anyway, I don't know if you ever have had or will ever have the opportunity to ride the buses in GR but I highly recommend it.
I love you all.

My last day at the Rockford Meijer is two weeks away. I'm happy to get out of there. Everyone that's cool is leaving for college, too, anyway.
I'm finishing up on packing; I've been accumulating boxes. I'm excited, yet nervous. My first four days in my apartment are going to be alone because I have to move in early for work.
I keep on having dreams about it, the apartment, that is. Odd, odd dreams.
I'm going to the library today to donate some books. I'm trying to file my life down to a couple boxes that I can store at my parent's house until I'm thirty. Everything else will just be stuff that I need to live: clothes, make up, bedding, etc.; basically stuff I can fit in my car.
But my precious books. I'm leaving them. Donating most, saving the rest. They were my friends during those summer months when there was no school. Their stories helped me to reason, to analyze, to imagine. I know, I know, it all sounds so corny, but I guess that's only because there is truth in my statement.
But then there was critical analysis. It open up worlds of understanding for me, but it ruined me forever. Rueben is right. I can no longer read a book simply for a good story. I am constantly and incessantly analyzing whatever I can get my hands on: setting, characters, mood, tone, the list goes on...
And it's ruined for me. Simply ruined.
I traded the magic of a story for reason and analysis. I've discovered so many things through it, but that doesn't make it better.
Sometimes the best things in life are better left unexplained.
