She's Hotter

Something about this song is strangely addictive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhlxkVzNa2k

We do it in zumba class and it always gets stuck in my head. Michelle wants to do something scary for October, and we were thinking of going to a haunted house. I don't know which one we're going to go to, but there's apparently a really scary one in Atlanta called The Netherworld. It definitely sounds interesting.

I spent the first half of this past weekend in Clemson/Greenville. Friday night, got to hang out with friends. Played Appleletters. That was pretty awesome. I really wish I could play that game with people more often. I'm not sure what the next theme of my solitary game should be. Suggestions? (I ask even though no one actually reads this)

Talked to Edna (movie theater owner) about when they're going to put the Harry Potter tickets on sale. She said probably at the end of the month. w00t w00t! Definitely got to get tickets to that.

Guess I gotta figure something out for dinner and figure out which book I want to read. I got Soulless, Revolutionary Road, and 1984 to choose from. Two of which are from the Pines library, so I should probably start in on those. I started 1984 last night, and it's kind of addictive. Soulless looks like it's going to be hilarious. And I know they made a movie out of Revolutionary Road, but I haven't seen it.

Hm...why must pretty clothes always be so expensive? *sighs*

Blog?

I sat down to write in this thing, but now that I'm here I'm not sure what I should say. I guess I should admit that I have been thinking about the past a lot lately (which is nothing new). The past couple of entries were written on a whim, or during some serious anime marathons and zumba highs. Hehe.

It's funny that I have issues writing in this blog when I look back and come to the conclusion that quite a few of my good friends come from that other blogging era in my life. Now that I think about it, the few that I still find to be very close friends with do not update either. We stick to the phone, AIM, or Skype these days. It's just interesting how the gateway of communication changes over time.

Clarkesville has been good. I'm still loving this little town. It's been raining a lot down here this week. The rain makes me remember a lot of things. October is coming again. It'll soon be a year since the disaster last year. Time flies when you don't look back.

I'm still none too certain about this whole working and no school thing. Sometimes I feel like I should be coming home and working on something that's due for lab, but I end up playing LBP or piano instead. I guess it's nice in one sense, but still slightly disconcerting in another. At least I never have to really worry about my job outside of the eight hour work day. Weekends are also reserved for doing fun things; like going to AWA or A Taste of Clarkesville.

Zumba is still quite a bit of fun. There's just something really refreshing about jumping around and dancing twice a week.

Ok, so there isn't really anything exciting going on at the moment. Life's just really comfortable for me right now. I don't have much to be sad and angsty over, nor do I really have anything to be super excited about. I can feel myself changing again, but I really think it's for the better. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out.

Hey Nana,

Why are dreams coming true and achieving happiness two different things?

What would it be like to be more emotionally expressive?

Phone

My phone has strangely become much more active. I credited it to being a part of several group projects during that last year at school, but alas, people are still calling me. I guess it's a good thing?

I will soon be seeing someone that I haven't seen in seven years. It's going to be a little weird. I don't know if I should be excited or not. Things are going to be great though. I've already been assured there won't be a roasted pig this time.

People grow up so fast.

One Week

I've been in the new apartment for a week. It's still sort of a mess. The unpacking process is moving rather slowly. That is totally my fault since I've been avoiding coming straight home from work. I found the local aquatics center. It's on the way home, so I'll probably stop by there two or three times a week. Guess that means I really have to start looking for a new bathing suit. >.>;; Oh joy.

I also found out there's a zumba class across the street. I've never done it before, but it seems like quite a fun alternative to an aerobics class or actually motivating myself to go to a gym. Guess I'll find out next week.

Anime wise, got the first disc of My-Hime. Probably going to watch it when I'm done cleaning up a little bit. Matthew came over for a visit. That was quite fun.

Ruka's moving in today, tonight. Whenever my parents get here. They're swamped with work, of course. More work, work, work.

On the other hand, I've officially had my first full week at Standard Register. I like it so far. Gotta get stuff to decorate my cubicle with. Yep, yep. I get a three day weekend though since it's Memorial Day. Which is just kind of funny to me.

Ok, back to cleaning. Huzzah!

Raindrops on Roses

I finally started packing stuff up today. Got some boxes. Been working at it for the past few hours, and now I have a bunch of necessities and fun stuff packed away into neat little brown boxes. Something about this just makes me feel very sad. I decided to take a break and work on a computer "floor plan" for the apartment. I tried to redraw what I have in the brochure in reverse by hand, but something got all messed up with one line here and there, and then I realized it didn't look like that at all.

Moving makes me feel rather depressed. My life in boxes. Click. Click. Click.

Moving

I've only been home for a little over a week, and I'm already bored with the whole "nothing to do" routine. I miss being on campus (strangely), and I miss the normal routine of classes (ok, that's not surprising).

Before graduation, I managed to settle a lot of things. I got a job, managed to find a pretty nice apartment, and stayed on top of quite a few personal affairs. Now I have to think about moving, and I realize I have no idea what this is going to entail. I guess my best bet would be to make a bunch of lists, which still doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Maybe I'll start working on that in a little while.

I could also theoretically build my apartment in the The Sims just for the heck of it. I might end up doing that sometime after the move. Hehe. Then I could drag and drop furniture with ease! Right. Too bad moving in real life is going to require a rather large expenditure.

Went to B&N today. They have a stand set up for the Nook right in front of the entrance. It's a pretty nifty thing. I've tried the Sony e-reader before, but I think I like the feel of the Nook better. The iPad was pretty neat too. I wonder what one of the new Kindle's is like. I think I'll hold off on buying an e-reader for a while though. It'll be something to look forward to getting in the future.

Anime wise, I finally watched Hellsing Ultimate volume 3. It was pretty good. I think four is coming in the mail. Currently have Darker Than Black volume 2 sitting out on the coffee table. Probably going to watch that tomorrow night.

I can't wait for Thursday. Not only does the new season of Royal Pains start, but I want to see if the LBP store still gives out free stuff! Man, I wish I'd known about that a couple years ago. I could have gotten sooooo much stuff. Oh well. Hopefully. *crosses fingers*

Graduation

I am an official Clemson graduate. Counted as an alumni. Whee!
And I didn't trip on stage. Yay!
