Big project deliverable today. I had a late night and an early morning. To top things off, I have a project due for my other job and my parents thought this morning would be a great time to bring some more of my furniture. The last few days have been a bit hectic to say the least. I stayed pretty calm. I was only told to chill the fuck out a couple times. Like I told the guy, it’s my job to worry, and I do it well.

Positive side is my parents gave me a ride to campus. I’m supposed to have my car back tomorrow. Some guy is going to drive it to me and then I get to take him back to work. That won’t be awkward at all. My mom left me some leftovers, which was nice to come home to after work, a nice break from mac & cheese and baked potatoes. I confused the bus driver by requesting a stop at University Place. Hehe yeah, I told my mom that and I went on to say, “yeah, everyone was confused. It was mass chaos…people were yelling and screaming…” (it’s fun to dramatize). ha and mom says “really????” I laughed forever. “uh, yeah, mom.”

I finally have bookshelves, so I can get pretty much everything left in boxes put somewhere. I also have 3 boxes of Xmas stuff. Decorating for Xmas was like a weeklong thing at my house and undecorating was another week. I hated it. I swore I’d never decorate that much, but I have enough stuff for 3 houses, and I feel this obligation to put them up, well at least some of it. I got a replacement wreath for the door, so I had to say my goodbyes to my sad little wreath. :( It was precious.

My dad played handy man and got some stuff fixed. He was impressed that I put in all the deadbolts. Maybe, personality aside, I could be advertised as the perfect woman…“not only can she bake with the oven, she can fix it, too.” hehe come on, that was clever.

But yeah, Annette told me she timed my email response yesterday. 1m 40s. I told Johnny this and he’s like yeah, Evan was going to time you too but I didn’t have a stopwatch with me. Any coolness I thought I’d earned went right out the door. I don’t like waiting on people so I try not to make people wait on me, but like I told Johnny, them timing me was like a way of measuring my lameness.

Anyway, my house is all nice, and I’d like to have a small gathering of friends. I asked Johnny to plan a party for me. I lack experience. He just laughed, so I’m thinking that was a “no”. That guy probably wants to kill me, but seriously, he’s my right-hand man on this project. When he responds to my emails or actually gets my IMs, he’s very helpful. Man, I’m seriously going to cry at our last meeting. These meetings have become a large portion of my social life. If only I could get people to go out with me, things would be better. They don’t realize how long it’s taken me to get the nerve to invite, and now that I’ve started, well, I’m just not going to give up. I’m no quitter.

Well I’m all finished with Xmas shopping which is cool. I bought an orange vanilla candle the other day, and it’s by far my most favoritest scent in the world. If anyone finds it as a perfume, inform me, I must have more of it. I love it, I love it, I love it. “It’s called THE DARK!” Cool song! I’m a sucker for major changes in songs. In a weird way, it makes me think of The Doors.

Okay back to unpacking & decorating.

Eek, TV lady said Noah’s Ark, which reminded me of some fun phrase from 340 lab, so I must include these:

“...it can be a pirate party…with a big Noah’s Ark…and people will be randomly assigned animals…and *censored for young audiences*”
