i want to learn such simple things

What I've already done today:

- Hung up all my clean laundry
- Started a new color on the afghan I'm crocheting
- Lamented over breaking out a little

What I have yet to do:

- Call the school's insurance carrier and schedule an appointment for their appraiser to come look at my car
- Catch up with my dad
- Call my mom for the final word on the trip to go get Jacy when spring beak gets here
- Continue research on library science master programs
- Tidy up the room
- Reading for Love in Western Literature tonight

I felt really good and rested and comfortable when I woke up this morning. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with going to the gym yesterday. If so, I might try to go every day this weekend. Whew, I know, right?

Oh, and I gave up on the chocolate thing. It was making me cranky, and really aware of not getting to eat what I want. On a normal basis, I can go a few days without it and not really notice, but the sudden consciousness just made it really obvious and intolerable.

Yeah, so I finally got mail yesterday. No, nothing exciting. Just a pay stub from a check I got two weeks ago that my mom sent, and in the same envelope, an application to be a summer school teacher again. If you knew me back on diaryland, you know that I did this after freshman year. It would be sweet money, $19 an hour, and then I'd go to my regular job at Wallace Wallin. I could use the cash, mos' def'.

I am SO over Allentown. One more year and I've gotta get out of here and to the West Coast.

Argyle and old pumps. Delish.

Well, damn, Nik.

Birthday magic.

I am deciding what to do with the $100 I'm expecting to recieve ANY DAY NOW for unpurchased plane tickets/unpursued dental work. Get my femme star tattoo? Pay for the True Colors conference coming up? Or renew my lapsed livejournal paid account? Buy a hoodie from nofauxxx.com? Subscribe for two months? Do you have any suggestions?

The money I'm getting back from my taxes, I'm thinking about putting half toward a certain August event and the other half toward renting the Pondview cabin at Killen's Pond around my birthday.

Speaking of my birthday!

Okay, so I know it's not for another 5 months, but planning super far ahead never hurts, right? I'm thinking, as I said, of renting the gorgeous Pondview cabin at Killen's Pond, which is a state park somewhere between Dover and Rehoboth Beach. I don't know if anyone would truck out that far to come see me, but I'm going to try and rent the place for around 5 nights... and... okay, nevermind. After about 20 minutes of looking, it seems there are NO open dates for that cabin any time between now and ever. I mean, the smaller cabins are really wonderful, too. They just don't have decks that sit halfway over the pond, y'know? Okay, well, maybe I'll rent one of the smaller cabins, which still have bunk beds plus a big ol' king or queen sized bed. And amazing showers that, like, 2 or 3 people could fit into. I'm just sayin'.

If I did that, I could spend a couple of days being all alone and transcendentalist, walkin' around in the woods and spending all night writing on my laptop. And I can sip wine on the screened-in porch. And then if anyone wants to come spend time with me at any point, they'd be way more than welcome. I already know I should be having a certain boy from Florida up to visit.

Hmm.

I'll give it some thought. You too.

It just started fucking blizzarding. Ugh.

I just read this line.

"I want to slap you across the face for the way you make me feel. And then I want you to kiss me."
