So much for trying for an entry a night but then things have been so crazy, I feel that I've barely had time to stumble to bed at night. Crazy but fun.
I didn't even get to do my annual Jan. 6 'National Holiday/Let's all celebrate my birthday/give me stuff' entry!
C.M. took me out for dinner at the Fortune House (sesame chicken ~ when the craving hits...) and a movie ~ Harry Potter. I don't know how he knew I wanted to see it, I only talked about it for days before. At first, I felt a little let down because it didn't seem to live up to the hype...then I got to thinking about it. The more I thought about it, the more the 'WOW!' factor set in. I've got to see it again because of all the stuff happening the background ~ I bet I missed a ton of moving paintings. He also gave me a calendar; a $50 gift card to Michael's and the 'official bootleg' director's cut of Army of Darkness (yes!) My mom took me out for dinner at Cracker Barrel and a new flea market in Bowling Green (Exit 28, across the road from the Corvette Museum. Don't do what we did ~ I was too busy ogling the Corvette Museum building to notice that we were supposed to turn right at the first light from the off ramp to get to the flea market. We ended up traveling the same 5 mile stretch of interstate about 3 times.) I found some yellow jade there ~ I suppose it was pretty good. Small but good. Let's see ~ she gave me some wind chimes (big pair and an official John Deere product.); a Breyer horse, a candy jar with Snoopy on it as well as chocolate. I've already finished off the Ghiradelli (or however the hell you spell it) carmel filled chocolate bar. She also waited until about 9:30 pm Sunday to tell me that she needed me to drive her to a doctor's appointment the next day. Hence I didn't get all my financial aid paperwork in until today. It's worth it ~ I still haven't told anyone else what I'm doing although I don't know how I'm going to keep it quiet once I start disappearing 3 days a week.
I still haven't made it back into the bank for my battle. I haven't had the time to find all my atm reciepts and the like.
I had a <_insert heavenly horns here_> revelation the other morning as I woke up, another result of my conversation with my dad. I've been using the wrong word when the nasty dark blues hit ~ in the entry from Dec. 4, I said that I felt alone. That's not true. Lonely, yes ~ alone, no. I remembered alot of stuff while I was verbally stumbling around and trying to exlain my views. At one point, I remember saying that I never feel alone because I have the trees, the wind and the rest of nature. In my eyes, they are as much of a mirror of 'god' as I am. Still, I am human. I long for human interaction and don't function too well without it. Sometimes 'god' just doesn't compare to someone touching your arm as they tell you the latest gos...ahem, news.
I have to remember to do an essay on why I write 'god' that way...another difficult topic to tackle! Oh yeah ~ I'm getting tired of Geocities' extra pop ups and code conflicts with my webpages so I signed up for a page at FortuneCity. With 100 megs of space, I can consolidate both of my webpages into one...after I go through and fix the bugs. It's going to be a while before I move completely. I'm only up to November of 1998 so far ~ I worked on them while I was waiting for C.M. to get ready.
I finished up registration today ~ I'm officially a college student! I signed up for english comp I; art history II and drawing II. I don't even have to start over! Yay me! I am now firmly convinced that they must be subliminally discouraging folks from using financial aid ~ it's in a completely different building from nearly everything else and you have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to it. On top of that today, they closed off the office itself and crammed everyone into the very small, overheated hallway where we had to wait in a long line...only to get to the table be told that the system was down for 15 minutes or so. I made the journey to financial aid 3 times. I told C.M. that at this rate, I think that I'll be in marathon shape by August or so. My first day of class is this Friday...and nothing before 9 am. Whoo hoo!
O.k...I'm going to stop now. I want to just sit and read for a little while. I found Shirley Maclaine's The Camino at Barnes and Noble for $5.98 and what I've been able to read of it seems pretty interesting. We'll see...if I don't drop first.
