Inspired

I studied and studied and studied last night (Tuesday night) all 25 kanji for my japanese quiz. I had the names down, the stroke order and the english translation for all of them. I wasn't failing that test (and I don't believe I did, either).

I installed Morrowind, again, and am now playing it for the second time. Maybe this time I'll actually make it a little farther than Caldera.

I have Sea-Monkeys, they are the shiznit. Currently 3 days old, you've gotta love them.

"Yeah my girlfriend"

She's great, she does everything for me. From keeping me from spending all my money at once, to making sure I've been fed, to tidying up my room. She's great. And I always manage to do something that throws it all into a tailspin. I'm sorry I screw up once in a while, I don't mean to hurt or upset.

She's laying in bed behind me right now, we're at my dorm room at college. I've lived here since the first week of September, and she's visited off and on since then, as well. I look behind me and I see her beautiful face; she's sleeping. Last night I didn't cuddle with her; at one point she even went so far as to tell me not to touch her. I didn't like the events of last night. I hope they don't happen again. I hope tonight I can cuddle her.

I look around my room, there's empty pop (soda) cans every where. She bought them for me, and she helps me drink them. I look up on the top shelf of my desk, there's her grad photo. Beside that, two carnations she bought me the weekend before last. What is holding the water the carnations are in? the juice jug she brought for me from her house. Her glasses are on the top of the desk where I'm at, beside my mouse and keyboard. They're plastic framed, a feminine buddy-holly style. She looks great in them. Beside my desk is my small bar-fridge. Written on the fridge in huge letters constructed of magnetic poetry are the words "MISS YOU!" with a cute heart for the i on miss. On top of the fridge is a tissue box; on the bottom of the box, written in black permanent marker, is "[Me] + [Her] = heart". On top of my fridge sits my computer tower; on top of my computer is the picture of the both of us sitting on Santa's lap at the mall. Beside the Santa picture are two cards. One from her for my birthday. Another from her she gave to me because she wanted me to know that she does care about me.

When my girl's not here, I've got so much to remind me of her. She leaves her shower-sandals here (you need sandals for the showers here), and her shower puff. She wrote, on my phone, "[Me] * [Her]". I'd tell her every day that I miss her, but she's already informed me that is too much. It kills me to not be able to tell her how I feel every time we talk. And now she's sleeping behind me, on the bed, in my tiny dorm room. I'm sorry I say the wrong things some times. She didn't get any sleep last night because of me, and she's slept all day since.

-Yours

Gotta love it

Funny relationship quirk: it really happens
Her: Cuddle Me
Me: *cuddles*
{5 minutes later}
Her: Stop cuddling, you're too |insert complaint here|.
Me: *Stopped cuddling*
{5 minutes later}
Her: Why aren't you cuddling?

How Could I?

Wow, I don't know how I could have skipped writing about how great my Christmas break was. Friday, December 13 was my last exam. It was 3 hours long, and I was already at my girlfriend's house by the time the exam ended... she lives over an hour away from my home. From December 13 to January 5 I saw her every day. I was at her house every day. I spent every night except 4 or 5 at her house. We didn't get sick of each other. It was the best Christmas break I'd ever had (no offence to my parents of course).

For Christmas I got her a toe ring, a Nora Roberts romance novel (Midnight Bayou), a 1 hour whole-body massage and a fleece bath robe. Everything she didn't know she asked for. She spoiled me, too. Chocolates, towels (I really needed towels). Candles (yes, I like to burn things). More chocolates. Shower stuffs. Things I needed, and she really took care of me.

My birthday is four days after Christmas, as well, so we did that thing, too. She really made that special, like it was a seperate occasion from Christmas. My presents weren't even wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper (I know, Mom. Sometimes you'd wrap mine in birthday wrapping paper, too). My honey had a birthday cake baked for me. I blew out every candle (20, one for good luck) except one. I tried to leave one left burning, you know, the number of girlfriends thing. That was at her place, where her parents even gave me a birthday present. Spider-man special edition DVD. woot.
We ate dinner at Kelly O'Bryans restaurante. She bought me my first drink, a "snowball" which I thought was appropriate seeing how it's all winter season and stuff. I got money from my Dad, I got a really nice present from my sweetie. A 21" silver necklace, really nice looking. It's shiny. After dinner, my Dad went to his girlfriend's house, while me and mine went back to my Dad's house. I had a great birthday.

New Years was excellent, too, though I'm easily pleased. We had her parent's house all to ourselves; they were at a party with her little brother in tow. So we drove into town, rented "Enough" and "The Others" on DVD then came back home. "Enough" was the best movie to watch with her. It kept her in suspense and holding/squeezing my hand often. If anyone else could recommend other movies like that, I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking "Signs". So we counted down the time on my GameCube with Animal Crossing, then went back to watching the movie. I downed a mickey of "Fireball" whiskey, then we went to bed. Another very nice night.

Myths

I dislike junk mail in my email inbox. Hear me rant:
.Bill Gates will not give you any part of his money if you send that email to 5 people before you feel the urge to lick your lips.
.Bonsai Kittens are not real. Look on the page for ordering information! The "Credit Card payment" has been "coming soon" for years.
.You can not, no matter how much you believe, get good luck in money/love/career if you send an email to 10 of your friends.
.Nobody is donating $0.01 per forwarded email to starving children in that third world country they made up.

Another While

I'm back at the dorms now, my first class is 10:30am tomorrow... Japanese 2. Hoorah :P :P :P

I should get to sleep now, and I feel bad already for not being in bed. I was going to get to bed early tonight, and my girlfriend knew that. She just called while I was on my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth and she called to surprise me... or check up on me, whatever. Either way, it's nice. She called to say goodnight, that she was in bed and about to go to sleep. I guess it kind of ruined the surprise when I wasn't in bed yet, myself. So I feel bad for that, it was a nice gesture on her part.

Late Night Schwa

I've written 4 of 5 exams, with the stunning conclusion arriving 9am Friday morning of the 13th. I checked my current finals grades, only Japanese has been graded. 65% final, not something I can complain about. What can I say, my expecations for myself haven't been as high as they were in highschool. Not since I've realized just how many people are smarter than me.

Soon... I'll be on holidays. Hooray for boobies.

-Mmm, chocolate

Exams'n'Stuff

Monday was my last official day of school. Tuesday offered a Japanese oral interview with the professor. Tuesday night was three hours of review on Calculus, in preparation for the re-test on Thursday. Wednesday had me waking up at 7:40am to get to class early and study for the 8:30am Philosophy re-test. Nothing else happened for the rest of the day.

My girlfriend had been visiting here since Monday night, I had seen her during the weekend at her place since Friday night. She's gone back home now, and it's now 2:38am Thursday morning. I've got some sleeping to catch up on for the calculus re-test tonight. I need a 70% or better on that to bring up my grade to something half respectable. This college thing is harder than I'd thought.

Bi-Monthly

School's kept me busy as of late, and I've hardly found a break at all from this homework. But I found one none-the-less... and I rewarded myself for finding said break. I bought Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 for my GameCube. Lem'me tell ya: It rawxors my boxers.

My girl's doing good, we went to the bar last night. Well... she went to the bar without me and I showed up, miraculously. See, my ID (Drivers License) says I'm 18 years old. But I was still allowed into the bar, somehow, and I met up with my girlfriend. Now I'm back home, at the dorms. This sucks, I've got another week of school ahead of me. Two, actually, before school is out altogether. Then two weeks of exams (5 exams in those two weeks).

Our three month anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks; now I need a present. And my honey's going to be spending this coming weekend at the dorms here. And the following weekend... well, let's just say her parents are going to be out of town. Whether or not they let us stay there remains to be told, but either way, it should be a good 3 month anniversary.

-I'm out

And it flows

Today wasn't a particularly bad day. I went shopping this afternoon, after my three morning classes. Spent $53 (would have been $70 more if I had bought Mario Party 4 on impulse) on very little stuff. My electric shaver died yesterday, so I had to buy razors. $20 later for a Mach 3 Turbo +razors and I was set... to cut my face up. It's been forever since I've shaved with a razor, and I'm out of practice.

I visited my girlfriend for the last 30 minutes of my break. Things were good, we sat around for a while. Kay, it kinda sucked, but I showed up with a good mood and I left with a good mood. Came back to school, sat through my hour of Chem. Saw my latest quiz result: 6 of 18. Dammit >_<

I went back to the hospital after my class and took my babe out for dinner. Well, she paid, so I guess she took me out. However, she was stressed out from the nurses at the hospital being complete dumbasses. Attempting to give her her meds well before the allowed time; telling her she had a limited amount of time before she had to be back in the hospital, etc. But we made the best of our time out.

We ate Subway on the beach, then drove over to (Arg, just got off the phone with her. The nurses fscked up again) Future Shop and bought 50 blank CDs. I drooled over all the computer/game stuff I want and Mel decided I'm not allowed in the store again. From there we went to Wal-Mart and looked at the CDs she wants. Then to various stores around the mall. I found a Spiderman shirt in the kids section, Regular $14.99, sale $9.99 and today's sale of 30% off all sale items. It came out to $7.50, but my debit card wouldn't work, so Mel paid for it. I owe her.

We went back to Walmart, bought Snakes and Ladders, then headed back to the hospital. The damned nurse she had for the night tried giving her her meds two hours early, which is a big no-no. That'll bring her to toxic levels. The nurse said she'd come back later. Another nurse came in to do the routine morning/night check-up on how she's feeling. I always get kicked out of the room at this time, and I hate not knowing what's going on. I came back, she was quiet again. All the dumbass nurses were weighing her down and she was getting stressed by it. She snapped at me, and I replied sarcastically. We both apologized, then laid there for a while.

Mel couldn't take it anymore, and she sent me home. So I went to a friend's house just one minute down the street, waiting for her call. She called me back, then told me she was frustrated with the hospital and not me.

She just called a few minutes ago and said that the nurse who gave her her meds tonight screwed up again. She didn't get the toby tonight, the nurses all swear she did. So the supervising nurse is going to have an earful tomorrow.

M-M-M-Monster Stress-ess-ess

Big fight with the girlfriend two nights ago. Made it up last night (in the hospital where she's been for the last week, and will be for the next two).

I had a chem quiz last Friday. I felt I did really good on it. I thought it was out of 14, and I thought I scored at least 12. I just checked my grade, it says 6/18 so GOD DAMMIT.

She Possesses

I called her, she told me she was just about to call me because she was just leaving Justin's place and couldn't talk inside there. Here's the timeline (minus what time it all happened):

*Gets home, calls me, says she's going out drinking. Will call me later
*Goes to bar, drinks, drives to house #1
*House #1 is Louis' house. She worked with Louis over the summer. He's harmless now, but a month and a half ago he was concidered a threat
*Sits at Louis' and has one drink. She doesn't leave the couch until her entourage is ready
*Goes to House #2
*House #2 is Cam's house, but he's not home. They leave for House #3
*House #3 is Justin's house. She calls me and has the conversation below (not word for word)
*She has a few more drinks and then goes to bed
*Mike is in the room with her. She tells him to get the hell out
*|| Mike, I'm not sleeping with you. Get out || Then why the hell are you here? || I've got a boyfriend, get out ||
*She sleeps alone (See, I trust her, just not that asshats she was with)
*Mike comes in in the morning, she kicks him out once again
*He comes back around 10 and is rejected a third time
*She sleeps until noon, when I called her. She was about to leave and call me.

I started my end of the conversation with "I might sound like a total ass when I say this but what happened last night?" and she went off about her night. When she heard how I felt about what went on, she apologized and told me she felt bad for making me feel that way. So it was all good. She sounds sincere to me, and I'll get to see her tomorrow. She didn't sound like she was hiding anything, or that she was pissed off or that she wasn't herself.

-Soap Opera of my Life
The Possessive Word

I couldn't sleep last night. My girlfriend went home, after spending every night with her since Friday. She told me she'd call me when she got home, to let me know she made it safe. And that she'd call me later that night so we could talk. Then the good-bye kiss, and she was off.

She called around 6:30pm, told me she was home. We chatted for a couple minutes and were about to get off the phone. I quickly threw in "Were you still going to call me later?" and she replies "I don' t know, I'm going out drinking". That's alright, I knew she'd call me later anyway.

She called at 9:30pm, the first thing she says is "I'm going to be sooo drunk tonight". Wait wait wait. Let me back this up a bit. Here's the premise. Mike, this guy who worked with her for a month, is in town visiting Justin, his friend who my girlfriend worked with for 4 months. Justin got Mike a job at the same place her and Justin worked at. Mike's in town visiting, and wanted to hang out with my sweetie. He does, fortunately, know she's got a boyfriend.. me. Not that that's threatening or anything, he's never seen me.

So she says "I'm going to get sooo drunk tonight" || I say, "Are you drunk right now?" || No, I've only had two drinks || OK, are you still at the bar? || Nope, I'm going to Justin's house || How are you getting home tonight? || I'm staying at his house. Don't worry, he's got a wife and kids || And is Mike there? || Yes || Is Mike a good guy? || Yeah, and he's 30+ years old anyway. Don't worry about him. Do you trust me? || Hell yeah, I don't trust him, though || Are you ok with this? || I'm as good as I'm going to get || K, I'll call you tomorrow after I get off work. 7pm || Are they all good people? No Sheldons there? (Sheldon is this cheating asshole who took advantage of Mel once upon a time) || No, no Sheldons. || OK, have fun tonight. (A few times in the conversation I told her to have fun tonight). || I'll call you tomorrow

So now I'm calling her. Right now, it's 12 and her phone is free for an hour, so it won't charge her minutes. She has to wake up to go to work at 1pm anyway. Wish me luck.

Update Day

I called her, she called me back when she woke up. Yeah, it's an "emotional time of the month" for her, I guess. That would be why I say the wrong things (seemingly). Anyway, it's dannir fud teim.

-DANNIR FUD TEIM!!!
Always says the wrong thing

My girlfriend left her cell-phone charger here in my dorm room on Monday, when she left. She's two hours away, and I can't necessarily drive out to see her.
I should learn to say things in a positive aspect when the time calls for it. Like last night, here's the conversation:

Her: Call me tomorrow?
Me: *Remembers her cell-phone is running on limited battery. Searches a way to say this, finds it very hard* I'd call tomorrow, but your cell phone is going to die *I wait for her to offer to call me from her home phone*
Her: *nothing*
Me: *oh shit* Um, how are you feeling right now? I didn't mean it like that
Her: Why do you want to know?
Me: Because I care
Her: Here's what you just said "Call me tomorrow?" "No"
Me: Damn, I can see how that looks bad. *I didn't mean it like that at all*

-Should have said "Sure, but remember your battery is running on low"

Lacking in a bulging archive

Yeah, slow updates lately. Check out the AF+ link to the left, which is my new blog. Animal Forest (Animal Crossing) rawks.

I've got a one month "anniversary" coming up this weekend. Actually, it's Monday, and I'll be in school :( but I think I can deal with it.

(French accent) Happiness is not a fish you can catch

Animal Crossing was released two days ago (September 16). I'm pumped for this game, I've been reading/researching it for the last 6 months. It's finally been brought to North America, and now couldn't be a better time. So I'ma buy the game tomorrow, after classes. I'll have to get my GameCube back from my friend, though. And I just lent it to him two days ago. Ah well, it's mine and I can get it back when I want it. I didn't drop $500+ on the 'Cube a year ago for nothing.

Fun Filled Weekend

I'm back home now, at my dorm. Currently installing Heroes of Might and Magic IV and downloading the UT2k3 demo at the same time. Listening to "Incubus - Punk Cover - Turning Japanese". I'm booored, too. Did I mention that I'm bored? Well, I am. And I miss the company that only my girlfriend can offer. She's a whole 5 days away now =/ but she'll be here, this time, instead of me being there. If my sister is reading this: I thank you for letting both of us stay over at your place last night.

Earlybird gets his worm... caught in his zipper

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. I thought that was a rather clever play of words, too. It's 7:45am and I've been awake for 45 minutes. The wailing of my alarm clock, as it does most every other morning, causes an involuntary reaction that usually consists of me frantically pressing buttons in an attempt to MAKE IT STOP. Class starts in 45 minutes, and they'll all be over in 7:30 hours. 3 hours of morning classes, a two hour lunch break (that totals 5 hours) and a 2 hour class. 20 oz of coffee this morning? Yes, I think I might. Hazelnut Vanilla? Pacific Roast? Something else caffeinated?
