I like the colors in this theme.
So I took about a twenty minute nap, and don't really feel refreshed even though I also took a twenty minute shower when I woke up. Maybe having dinner in a half hour will help. I'm hoping this is the case because I need to get a bunch done tonight, but all I want to do is sleep. I'm hoping that as a result of this week being so busy my thanksgiving break will be nice and relaxing. Please let this be so! Ahh!
I put up some calligraphy on my wall that my sister did last year--I should really look up what each thing means because people will probably ask, but oh well. They're special to me regardless of their meaning. I've become very social with people all of the sudden in that I've been making plans for lunch and dinner all week, and then am traveling with people to Columbia (Missouri) to shop and such this Saturday. I think this is a both good and bad thing. I'm fine with being social, but I like being alone as well. Right now I'm kind of foggy from my lack of sleep and too short nap, so I need to go walk around outside for fifteen minutes and then meet a friend for dinner. Mmm.
So, last night and this morning a number of my close friends (my family, really) gathered at my friend Lauren's house to see her off. We had a yummy dinner of hot dogs and hamburgers and potatoes and chips. We all sat around and talked, laughed, and reminisced. We made fools of ourselves (mainly me, ahaha)!
After we ate we all went downstairs into the basement and hung out. Took mass amounts of photographs and tried to stay awake as long as possible. At one point we ended up going to Steak 'n Shake and, since it was late/early (one am or so) our waitress made our shakes, but didn't ring them up, so they were free, which rocked. We gave her a twelve dollar tip because that was insanely nice of her. There was another waiter who told us that he'd hook us up if we came in again late, so that's pretty sweet. Anything free is awesome.
So after the shake-getting adventure we just headed back to Lauren's and hung out some more. A majority of people fell asleep (those bums!) but I never did. I just never get tired enough to fall asleep, or I just pass that exhausted phase and just hang in some type of sleepy limbo, or something. We ended up giving each other back-rubs to help keep us awake. This is where the second photo (to the right) came from.
Eventually (around five AM) Lauren and her mom hopped in their van and drove off. The ground was wet, and the air was muggy. Everyone gave each other hugs and we all drove off in our seperate cars. Most of my friends leave before me, so there will be a lot of this this week. I didn't really get sad like I thought I might, but that's probably because I was sleepy. I zonked right out when I got home. I need to go take a shower.
Look, my cat! I'm really kind of addicted to this 'adding image' feature of vox. It's pretty swanky. Also, I've having a really random converstion with sara right now. I've figured out I can't type the word gum at all. First I typed "gym" and then "guy". I fail!
Last night I was hanging out with a couple of friends and we were talking about an array of topics. My friend Lauren has come up with a new term. She labels people cucumbers who deal with their problems internally or just brush them off. I'm not sure where the term comes from, but she said she imagines people (most of her friends) with these green complexions walking around.
Supposedly I'm the epitome of a cucumber because I have a philosophy that states: If something happens to you that won't be affecting you in ten years you probably shouldn't worry too much about said problem at the time. This mainly helps me deal with rejectioins and people snubbing me because chances are I won't be affected by those actions ten years down the road. Occurances like losing one's job, or a limb, or developing cancer would be stuff to worry about because those will definitely affect one's life in ten years. Cucumbers are notorious for being emotional husks. They don't let everyone see their emotions. They don't wear their heart crap on their sleeves. I'm like this, and I'm rather proud. This isn't to say I don't know how to share my emotions. I'm just not so free with them (especially around acquantinces or people I don't know well). I find it easier, and less burdensome.
Also, thanks goes out to the people who have added me to their neighborhoods! I feel special!
