straightrhodes// I caught the flu last week. Fabulous. But I'm better now, so yay?
// It's Spring Break and I've done nothing. Mainly because I'm still getting over being sick.
// Got a hair cut last Saturday. I only got about two inches cut off but damn does my hair seem shorter D: Still I had to get my discolored and broken ends off.
// Shit I have a lot to accomplish. I have about three fics I need to be working on. School work (blargh). Cleaning my room. Dying my hair. Painting my bathroom. Ugh. SO MUCH TO DO!
// Erin got in to the University of Hawaii. I'm happy and really sad at the same time. I don't want her to leave me! I have so much trouble making friends and she's been my friend for over ten years now. My best friend for five! Plus two of my other really close friends are leaving too. Sabrina is moving to Georgia to study Botany and Laurel is, well I'm not sure where she's going but she wants to get a job out of town. When did all my friends start growing up into responsible adults?
// Speaking of Sabrina, her Bridal shower is in a week and a half. In Louisville. Jeez. That's over an hour away. Becca is hosting so I guess that's why but shouldn't the Bridal shower be in the same city as the bride? I still need to find a dress for the wedding as well.
// So I'm kinda over the whole Japan trip thing. I figure it would have been cancelled any way what with the Earthquake and Tsunami and all. All of my friends in Japan are fine. Fumiko (who lives in Tokyo) said her house shook terribly but other than that nothing. The rest of my friends live either on the west coast or down south. I've already made donations to the Red Cross. I'd offer something for auction, but real life, you know?
// Since the Japan trip is cancelled indefinately (meaning my school is no longer going to offer it) I decided to look again at some other trips. I've decided that I'm going to try for a 8 week internship in London next summer (2012). I'm hoping they'll have an internship with a museum I could do.
// So I've decided instead of lanquishing this summer to take up the Cello again. I used to play years ago and I loved it but circumstances prevented me from continuing. I'm going to find a private tutor and take up lessons again. I fear I've forgotten all I know, and of course I don't have my cello any more, but I'm really looking forward to it. Now I just need to find a teacher, haha.
// I may go on a trip with Erin this summer too, if she doesn't get a job with one of the National Parks like she wants. Erin is turning a little weird though. Maybe it's a good thing she's leaving because I'm not sure how long a shared background and proximity would have kept us as friends after all. She doesn't believe in taking medicine or eating chemicals (I take a ton of medication and I get the distinct impression that Erin does not approve of my hormone pills or my anti-depressants, she once implied that depression and OCD was something that people 'just needed to get over'). She's super animal-rights (I buy free range and organic when I can but frankly I want to solve human rights issues (such as human trafficking!)) She once told me that animal cruelty was in the same league as child pedophile! NO! NOT AT ALL! To be perfectly honest I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Erin has moved to a commune or something. It's getting that weird. Erin has never been very pragmatic though, and that's irritating. I'm a very pragmatic person at the end of the day.
// Going to IKEA and Anthropologie this weekend with my mom. We love IKEA so much, haha. We're such weirdos. Hahah.
// Tomorrow is St. Paddy's day. Do I own any green?
// Finally broke down and bought a year long paid membership. It's so nice not having any pesky ads.
// Yesterday Sabrina asked me if I was bringing a date to her wedding. I looked at her and said, "What on earth makes you think I'm bringing a date?". In the four years I've been at college I've been on two dates. When I mentioned that to my mom she said "Really? It's been that many?" Thanks mom. Apparently guys find me terrifying (according to Eric my gay friend). Maybe I should become a lesbian. I'm constantly being hit on by lesbians.

Date: 2011-03-17 02:01 am (UTC)I've been to Japan once, just for two weeks though. I was really looking forward to going back but it just might take longer than I was hoping. Still London will be awesome if I get to go there. I want to see the world so I guess I don't mind much where I go.

Date: 2011-03-17 01:46 am (UTC)I'm glad to hear that your friends are doing alright! I keep hearing such horrible news D: I also wonder how Libya's doing, but I haven't heard much on it.
Erin: she sounds...awesome? I have a friend like that too - well, meaning: I can only hang out with her for a short period of time before I want to strangle her. Maybe the move will bring you two closer and you two can appreciate each other more?

Date: 2011-03-17 02:08 am (UTC)Erin is amazing, haha. I guess its good that she has such strong beliefs and she lives by them, I really do admire that. I guess its just that I wonder what is she actually accomplishing? Is she making the lives of animals any better by denying herself the minerals and vitamins she needs? (She's both calcium defecient and iron deficient now). I'm afraid her moving will be the end of our friendship. She's implied several times that she sees this as a way to completely restart her life, live the way she's always want and get away from her past. She doesn't even want to come back to visit her mother she says! And her boyfriend (very serious boyfriend) is trying to move to Hawaii with her and she said that she kinda resents him for that because while she thinks he's the type of guy she might settle with one day right now she just wants to do whatever she wants.
It's really selfish and I'm not sure I can deal with that, you know? At some point it ends up that you're doing all the work in a relationship and you have to wonder if it's worth it.
Agh! Sorry for going off on you like that. I'm just a little frustrated right now.

Date: 2011-03-17 03:20 am (UTC)You're not going off on me at all. It's always good to get these things off your chest. If you hold it all in, you'll just explode.
She sounds like she's going through a lot, but mostly due to her own choices. I'm sorry that it's getting more difficult to be friends with her. I'm sure if she does move away and 'starts' a new life, she will see how hard it is to do so without people there to support you - and not just 'physically' there.
I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this. It's a lot to handle - especially if the person you're dealing with is completely oblivious to the strives you are making to be her friend.

*HUGS YOU*
