What A Week!!!

So much has happened in the last week! I guess I will start at the beginning.

First off, I got a fish. Yep, my own pet betta. Michelle said I had to get one after I told her for like the millionth time that I didn't sleep well on the weekend, though part was from Lissa and Steph staying over and us talking all night. Michelle was concerned about my sleeping patterns, so that's why she suggested a fish. So Tuesday night, when I went to Meijer's with Lindsay, Jessica, and Robyn, I got my fish. His name is Hugh, like Hugh Jackman, Hugh Laurie, Hugh Grant, or Hugh Dancy. If you wanted to really strech it, you could also say he is named after High Heffner, but we won't go there.

Then this weekend was Road Trip. Road Trip is where youth groups come and visit the campus for the weekend, and live sort of like a college student. Well, they were short on evening hosts, so I figured that I would volunteer because I missed doing it. Friday night came along and it was time for me to pick up my girls. I had said two max, but someone in Pickitt was gonna have three. So I took three: one on Michelle's bed, one on the couch, and one on the floor. And let me tell you what, it was one good weekend. The girls from that youth group were all pretty loud and obnoxious, like me, so we got along rather well. They were all sweet girls and we had a ton of fun, even though I only saw them in the mornings and at night. And then when I said bye to them they hugged me and told me they had a great time. They really was great!

And of course there was Valentine's Day Saturday. Thankfully I didn't really get sappy and depressed. I felt pretty good and was actually very happy for Valentine's Day. I didn't see many couples around campus, so that was probably why. I swear, if I had seen couples walking around all lovey-dovey and all that jazz, I probably would have gotten all depressed about being single on Valentine's Day. But all was good and I made it through.

Then today I went to Barnes and Nobles with Lindsay and then we went to Steak and Shake for dinner. But this section is about Barnes and Nobles. When we got there we went to Lindsay's favorite section, the used books, which are all pretty cheap. I just kinda browsed around a little, not expecting to find anything. A lot of what caught my eye were books that looked really old; I like old books a lot, even if it's just to have it and I never read it. Well, while looking I happened upon The Crucible and is was only $3!!!! It was pretty tempting, and I decided to grab it just in case I did want to buy it. Then I saw a section on books that were all just a dollar! So I figured I would look, not thinking I would find anything that interesting. There were some old looking books that at first caught my eye, but then didn't seem interesting. Then I stumbled upon a book titled Red Carpet Diaries: Confessions of a Glamour Boy, which is Cojo's book. If you don't know who Cojo is, first off OMG! and second, Google him. So since it was a dollar I bought it too. Now I just need some time to read it. No worries, I'll give a review when I finish it, IF I finish it. Hehehe!

Now it's a new week, and I am not really looking forward to it that much. I have a quiz in one class tomorrow, a presentation in a class Tuesday, as well as a dress rehearsal and Pickitt Passion Tuesday night (though I won't be at Pickitt Passion), then Pickitt Passion is also Wednesday and Thursday nights, and then we have a concert on Saturday. And I also think I have an exam for my American Studies class this week too, that or next week. So this week will be pretty busy, and probably stressful too. Let's hope it doesn't get too bad! ^_^

You've got A Friend In Me

This past weekend was a pretty great weekend for me, besides the fact that I have a cough that I just can't kick. Anyways, here's what happened. On Saturday my two best friends, Melissa and Stephanie, came up to hang out with me. The got here around 1:30pm or 2pm. We sat in my room for a little while, maybe no more than a half hour, and then we decided to go out for dinner. Lissa decided that she wanted Chinese, so I got to looking online for a place to go.

We ended up deciding on First Woc Chinese Restaurant. We almost thought we weren't gonna find it, but we did. We got there and sat down, starting to decide what we would order. Lissa got Crab Ragoons and Wonton Soup. Steph got Egg Drop Soup, another order of Crab Ragoons, and these things that were like Crab Ragoons except for being filled with meat, not crab. I got Egg Drop Soup and Fried Shrimp. Let me tell you that the bowl placed before me did not look at all like Egg Drop soup. All three of us ended up not liking anything we got, except my shrimp, that was good. So we decided that if we heard someone saying they were gonna go there that we would definately tell them not to.

We were then gonna go bowling, but we wanted to get back so we could watch the movies Lissa had brought. We stopped at Target cause there were some things we wanted to check for there. After we finished there we headed to Meijer's to get some snacks for during the movies. We then headed back to campus. We got things ready and together and watched the first movie. It was Purfume. I hadn't heard of the movie before and wasn't sure if I would like it. I ended up liking the movie, except a few parts, but it was definately interesting. It had been a long movie, and by the time it was over we all decided we were still hungry (cause we didn't get that much for snacks cause we didn't know what we wanted). So we ended up going out again and going to Taco Bell. I always forget how much I like that place until I eat something from there after a while.

When we came back we put in another movie. This time is was Step Brothers. That movie was completely HILARIOUS!!! I hadn't seen the movie before and was neither interested nor uninterested in seeing it. But I definately had a great time watching it. If you ever want a good comedy to watch, depending on what type of comedy you want, I would definately say watch this. And Will Ferrell sings this Andrea Botoccelli (probably spelled his last name wrong) song, and actually sounds really good doing so! Which is kinda a shock, cause I didn't know he could sing so well.

We were all sorta tired, so we decided to skip the other two movies and go to bed. But that's not what happened at all. We stayed up until 4am and talked, just talked. You see, whenever Lissa and Steph would come stay at the house Tia, Lissa, Steph, and I would have these deep, intimate (not inappropriate intimate, closeness intimate) conversations, bearing your soul kind of conversations. Well, we hadn't had one of these chats in a long time, so we had a lot we talked about. I really missed those, so it was nice to do so again.

Sunday we got up at 11:30am and were just sitting around for a little while. Lissa and I then decided to go take showers. Yes, I convinced her to have a shower party, but Steph was unwavering in not wanting to do so. After our showers and me blowdrying my hair, we went out for Brunch. We were gonna go to IHOP, but they looked packed, so we went to Red Robin. After Red Robin we went back to campus and were bored for a while, which led to us playing hide-and-seek in Pickitt. After a couple rounds we decided that we were gonna go bowling.

So we went off to a bowling alley we had found the day before. We were a little complicated getting a lane at first, but the employees were nice. We then proceeded to play our two games. I completely sucked the first game, even though I got a stike, the only one I got the whole day. I did better second game, but still was sucky. I blame the actual lanes. Lissa and Steph, on the other hand, did there usual, Lissa about the same as me and Steph doing really good.

After bowling we came back and hung out in my room again for a little while until they decided it was time for them to leave. It was sad seeing them go because I miss my besties, but we had to get on with the day. I just love my friends so much, as I have made so clear numerous times before. And I know I would never be able to live without them and their friendship. I love you two crazy chicas!!!!!

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Here is another dream I had, this morning actually. It was a little strange and the details were a little foggy, but here it is. I will tell you that the stragest thing about it was I feel like I had a dream similar to it before, and dream me knew it. Not in the sense I physically knew I was dreaming at the time, but rather that dream me knew it was a dream, which was a little odd.


Tia and I were at a hardware store or something. We were painting on these canvases when this guy came up and tried to talk to us. I didn't want to talk to some strange guy. But he kept right on talking. Then we were walking around the store with him.

Someone thought Tia and I had killed a few people, but we didn't. We then saw our guys, mine the one from the store and I don't know who hers was. They were about to be killed and buried for some crime they supposedly did. We were behind the garage at the house. I didn't want him to go. As we sat there on the ground I hugged him and held him tight and kissed him. He kept saying he had to go. I was determined to prove him innocent before he was gone. I went back to the store where he worked to figure it out. I figured out it was a co-worker of his, so I hurried back to tell him.

He was standing next to the garage (the church side). I rushed over to him to tell him he was innocent, but he said he still had to go. I started to cry when I remembered something. "I've dreamt of you before, like this. You come back; you always come back." "Yes, I do." I wrapped by arms around his waist and buried my head in his chest. He was taller than me, easily 6' or taller. I began to cry because I still didn't want him to go. I got up on my tippy-toes and kissed him again. We went back to the backyard where they would be buried.

He sat down and they were about to finish things. "Wait," I said as I dropped down next to him. "Let me say goodbye one last time." I wrapped my arms around him again, not wanting to let go. We kissed again, desperate for that last touch of our lips to each others. I held on to him as tightly as I could, refusing to let go, as we kissed passionately one last time.
