Hello, Halo

The past weeks have been unlike others before, but at the same time, exactly the same. Tk and I have hung out basically every day (duh), I have worked an obscene amount of hours (which is good.. it means that I’m not broke after paying for my car FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES in two weeks), I’ve been getting my crap ready to move (which has actually been a lot of fun), and I’m getting REALLY excited about a new chapter.

About a week ago, I got another tattoo. That’s right, ladies and gents, I’ve gone a bit crazy in the area of body modification, but I really don’t think I’ll ever regret them. This brings my grand total up to five, but to be fair, 4 of them or pairs. So.. Tk and I got them together. It’s album art from our favorite album, and the lyrics say “We’re not better on our own.” That’s right. We’re extreme best friends. Deal with it. Her’s is on her ankle and wraps around her foot. It’s pretty BA and all the boys in California and going to be blown away bad our cultivation of badassitude.

I’ve been pretty busy in the past few weeks. Like I said, Six Flags was a total blast. We road the rollercoasters a million times and I lost my mind everytime we did the Superman ride… and the Raging Bull. Best coasters I’ve ever been on. We went out to eat, pissed off some Wendy’s employees, did some exploring, went to Target, got a flat tire, almost died a la scary movie, played a LOT of ‘Would You Rather’ and laughed our asses off at Ukelele Guys.
The Saturday we got back is when we got out tattoos, and then immediatley went to see My Fair Lady put on by the Music Guild. It was absolutely hysterical, but perhaps we shouldn’t have planned our tattoos the same day. Mine took 3 1/2 hours, Tk’s took almost 2. We were EXHAUSTED. But, the day was pretty spectacular.
I’m really ready to leave my Walgreens. I like the job, it’s interesting and I don’t even mind dealing with insurance companies. Hell, I don’t even mind when patients are total douchesacs to me. I do however mind when the people I work with don’t do their jobs, don’t own up to their own mistakes, don’t learn from their mistakes, place blame on others, or are just all-around weirdies. I just hate everyone I work with! Well, I suppose that isn’t entirely true.. I like the pharmacists and a few of the techs. But the ones that I hate, I really, really cannot stand! I don’t understand why it’s so hard to do your job. Or, if you don’t know how to do it, fuckin’ ask someone! Jeeze! Not to mention the new techs are weiiird.

Hey. Go read Water for Elephants, The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green, Twelfth Night, and The Patron Saint of Liars. Mmk? Also, go see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Prince Caspian, The Happening, Sex and the City, Indiana Jones, and The Strangers. Oh, and if someone else is paying or you’re going to NOVA 6, you should see What Happens in Vegas. I’ve spent entirely too much money at the movies lately.

In other news, I’ve found a new roommate. Her name is Jennifer, but I believe she goes by Jenn. She’s done all the legwork in finding an apartment. I believe she has found one that will be to both of our liking. The floorplan looks nice, and it’s pet friendly. Know what that means? I’m getting a pet. Depending on which apartment we get (it’s between two at this point), I will either get a dog or a cat. I’m so freakin’ stoked I can’t even handle it. I’m going to Ames on Saturday to meet her. Hopefully all goes well. I’m sure it will, we’ve spoken on the phone several times and she seems pretty cool based on her facebook. And if it doesn’t work out, well, at least I can say I tried.

This month has been pretty good, with the exception of some weird tension and some weird tension. We’ve received some letters from Nate, which made me weirdly giddy. I’ve been steadily packing up bits and pieces of my life. I picked out colors to paint my furniture and have been on the lookout for new bedding. I’ve gotten closer with an acquaintance and let go of a friend. I’ve tried (without success) to get together with another friend. Alas, we have the worst schedules I’ve ever seen!

So there it is. Sorry for the hiatus, but I haven’t had the ambition to write. haha.
