Seattle was awesome, but I haven't updated about it or anything else in a long time because the keyboard on my laptop is shitty. Only about two-thirds of the letters I type appear on the screen, which is incredibly frustrating. Josh is going to leave me his tiny laptop when he comes here this weekend so I can use his to finish grad school research which mine is at BBY gathering dust for the next 5weeks-forever.

Whine, Whine, Whine
Lately, as in for the last three weeks or so, I’ve done little but bitch and moan about my own small problems. It’s starting to annoy ME, so I know I’ve got to get over myself and look beyond myself. This is a little hard because there aren’t that many people in my life anymore, inasmuch as I’m stil in my college town, which means all my friends have moved away and on with their lives, including Josh.
At the same time, everything I touch turns to CRAP. Somehow, whenever I get near anything, it falls down, or breaks, or disappears, simply because I’m near it or need it or want it. For example, last night I walked from the living room to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I walk fairly lightly because I’m a fairly light person and I was tired. Before I had even gotten her to swing the door open to walk in, I heard the cup fall off the sink. That’s right, shit falls down because it knows I’m coming. Lovely.
In better news, I’m meeting Josh in a town between our two for some shopping and dinner because EVERYTYING I TOUCH TURNS TO CRAP FOR THREE GODDAMN WEEKS NOW AND IT’S GOTTEN REALY FUCKING OLD and he needs his own place outside his grandma’s place. We’re both really desperate for vacation and just need to step out together for a half day.
We get on the plane for Seattle on Tuesday, at 6 am.

mE Gone Long Time
I've been gone a long while, sorry.
So here's a little of what's happened in that time:
* Josh moved back home to his new job about a month ago. He had no choice. The job he was at found out that he was being courted by someone else and laid him off. Fortunately, he was offered the other job a couple hours later.
* My sister bought a house that has an extremely finished garage that he will be living in.
* I retook the GRE and got a 1200, still haven't heard about the writing
* have secured two of my recommenders for school and am getting pretty excited about it all.
* Have sent out resumes and letters and applications to two schools local to my hometown so i can go back and live with josh for a year before we're separated for a year by a minimum of 5 hours. Better one necessary year apart than one UNnecessary year apart followed by one necessary year, for a total of TWO YEARS apart. My boss disagrees. Whatever.
* Josh got a Blackberry. He loves it.
* We now have unlimited text/pix messaging. Yay.
* Was a little disappointed by HP6.
* I got a bunch of new clothes I'm pretty excited about.
* We leave for Seattle a week from tomorrow at 6 AM and don't return til the following Monday at 10 AM. I! AM! SO! EXCITED!
* We got our passports in the mail last week, so all that's left for the Canadian portion of our trip is to buy the tickets.

*tears*
The good, exciting news is that we got a dog. He is a three year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Captain. Excellent dog. We can’t believe how well we did with him. Our family is growing.
Captain lived with us, illegally, for about three days. Friday afternoon Josh packed up the rest of his non-furniture stuff and drove home with the Captain in the passenger seat. My family drove away and lives two hundred miles from me for a minimum of two years. I got a family and three days later it drove away.
I’ll be driving home Friday night and staying til Monday afternoon with them.
I’ve been sleeping on the couch since they left. Can’t bear to go back to that big empty bed and start two years of sleeping in our bed alone. I know the separateness is inevitable and is now a fact of our life, already, but I can’t bear to really begin it yet.
I’ve been crying on and off since I got home from work last night around 7.

Get your shit together kid
You've grown into an asshole. A person of whom I am no longer proud and with whom I am no longer impressed. Instead of hope and happiness, I feel fear for you every day. You used to simply inspire me and now you inspire tears and tangible heartache that makes me wonder if I'm not really too young for a heart attack.

PRINCE HARRY IS IN MY COUNTRY
I haven't updated in a while and I was planning to update frequently to slow down my verbal diarrhea when I do get out around other people. So I come on here and use shitty grammar, including run-on sentences.
What I really wanted to say today is that
PRINCE HARRY IS IN MY COUNTRY AND I'M STUCK HERE
Also, work was exhausting like none other today, but wonderfully productive. I assisted in giving almost 200 middle school kids some education and entertainment. I made friends with a teacher today who loved me and is willing to work her curriculum around ME so *I* can come back to their school NEXT MAY (this is the farthest in advance we've EVER had a race scheduled).
Finally, blogger is being shitty today as well. I don't have the center option, and my type is appearing in a very stark font that looks more like HTML than I'd like. Blogger, you may have to be given up on in lieu of my other blog, which has the last few posts copied from here.
