well well.
it's been awhile, no? or maybe it only seems that way.
i am still alive, by the way. :)
so. let's see... me and my life since my birthday....
my birthday got much better. when Amy came home from work she came in, blindfolded me, and led me out to her car and drove me to an unknown destitination. then we got out, and she led me, still blindfolded, awhile on foot. finally, the blindfold was lifted, and i found myself staring at the river at Sawyer's Point, and at a blanket laid down with a beautiful picnic basket, a bouqet of iris' (my favorite flower), and a box with a rainbow painted across it, and Amy's smiling face. she's such a sweetheart. she's the queen of surprises. it's amazing to be with someone who actually listens to me. it's insane. i would always tell her that my fondest memories from highschool were sitting down by the river eating brie and baguette with friends. thus, in the basket there was a baguette and brie (along with other cheeses, fruit, salami & cream cheese, jello bears, snickers and a bottle of sparkling grape juice). in the box was a tshirt that says, "this is what a feminist looks like" (i mentioned how much i wanted a shirt like that when we were at the Take Back the Night march). so we sat by the river and ate, and talked, and i just smiled massive amounts. then the rain came and we walked back to the car in the rain just enjoying ourselves. it was simply lovely. then we headed out to Jacob's. the show was great, and Sissy SANG again. i love when she sings. it makes me happy. Kyle showed up which made me happy and he actually got me a present (a beautiful journal and a voodoo doll...hehehehe). and Dwyane showed up with bag from him and Amy's mom full of bandannas and a Jack Off Jill cd. Peter, Candace and Doug were there along with Stacey and Liz so i was surrounded by good people all night. which is a good thing, because i got myself entirely too drunk. but it was fine. Amy didn't drink at all. which was amazing. she took good care of me. especially when we got home and i decided to puke everywhere. i don't remember what we did the next day, i think we slept a lot. and sunday we went to King's Island and had a gay ole time.
last week can be summed up as work. i closed the store every day last week except thursday in which i had the day off. i also had the weekend off, so that was nice. i opened and closed the store tuesday. and i worked all day and closed the store friday. so, needless to say, i made good money this week. but i didn't get to see Amy at all, and that sucked.
we also got new carpet last week. it gives the apartment a whole new feel. it's nice. but now my room is wrecked again cuz we had to move everything out and back in and i haven't had the time to clean it. until today. which is what i'm going to do here in a lil bit.
friday Mel and Susanna came to louisville. Mel and Leslie came to see me at work which was really nice. Amy and her mom also came to see me at about the same time. so friday night went quicker than usual and was more fun and laid back considering 1/2 my tables were people i love. after i got off work, mel, susanna and leslie came over to hang out. we had a good time. played with Buster a lot. it was very odd seeing Susanna again though. i hadn't seen her since Pride last summer, and as she put it, friday was the most we'd talked to one another in 2 years. insane. i can't believe my sophomores are graduating. tomorrow actually. susuanna is going off to Cornell and Mel to UofK. it makes me wonder if i'll ever see Susanna again...... a big part of me thinks i won't. how sad.
and the cicadas. how can i not talk about the cicadas? they are INSANE. looking out my window for 5 seconds i see at least a hundred fly by. there are five sitting on my window alone. it's quite amazing. the kids are delighted, as they discovered how tasty they are the other night. it was quite amusing actually. Max would try and eat them, and Amy would try and save them. she is all about some cicadas. it's cute. i'm going to miss them when they are gone. the humming has become so peaceful to me since they've been out. i'm going to miss the constant humming outside my window. i've seen them in all stages. from coming out of the ground, to coming out of it's shell, to mating. nature is simply amazing. i wanna know what cicadas do. like, i know they come out to mate, but is that all? they have to have some sort of benifit to the ecosystem (aside from making the birds in clifton incredibly happy and fat). my mother was telling me the other day that 17 years ago when they last came out, that i was enthralled with them. i would sit out with her for hours and just watch them climb up the trees and i would go hunting for their shells. i guess not much has changed in 17 years. ha. i need to get out and take some photos of them. i need to get out and take some photos in general.
ah. i finally got my grades. four A's and a C. i was worried about my Global Feminist Issues class. turning my paper in late and all. and i didn't know how she'd react to my paper in general. i still don't know how she reacted, but i ended up getting an A for the semester. which makes me happy. and i'm still thrilled about my C in Anatomy. so my GPA for this semester was 3.5. and you know what... i am much more proud of that than i am of my 3.8 last semester. because my classes this semester were much more challenging (overall) and i was learning new material as opposed to the review of last semester. so yay for that. i am starting my summer Speech class in a week i think. ugh. i'm not looking foward to being at class at 7:30 in the morning. blah. but this way it will give me flexability with work. i can still work lunch. which means i won't have to work dinner all the time. i need to talk to Tony about my schedule. i think he thinks he's doing me a favor by having me work lots of nights. he is, money wise, but i would rather make less money and get to see my girlfriend than vice versa.
ouch. my sunburn hurts. yes, i have my first sunburn of the season. Amy and i went to King's Island yesterday and spent most of our time at Boomerang Bay Waterpark. it was lots of fun. but we forgot sunblock. needless to say we spent most of last night rubbing aloe on eacother and trying our best not to touch one another. ha. so, because of my sunburn, i have been naked all day. wee! i suppose i should put on SOMETHING to clean. cleaning naked, while it sounds fun, is probably somewhat dangerous. so yes. i'm off to tackle my room.
