 <div>This is more of a view of my bedroom window, rather than from it. You can see the huge tree that obscures of view of everything, some blue sky, and woods. Also, there&#39;s a little crappy balcony that I would never stand on because it&#39;s not meant for standing on. Rather, you can hop over the balcony and get on the roof for fun star-gazing adventures.<br /><br />I&#39;ve spent the past few days talking about negativity to a variety of people in a variety of places: an expensive &quot;Chinese bistro&quot; that serves San Pellegrino in huge bottles, my car on Hawthorne road in Winston-Salem, a Colombian woman&#39;s living room while staring at a big cow-skin rug, and while sitting on the edge of my bathtub on the phone. Although these conversations started in different ways, they all really came back to this article I read about <a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/04/angrynegative_p.html">angry / negative people</a> and how they affect personal perception and attitude. It&#39;s all very scientific and thought-provoking, obviously.<br /><br />Otherwise, I&#39;ve been very happy lately despite not being able to get enough of Chuck and missing him a lot. Sappy, oh yeah. But I&#39;m so excited about moving in Thursday~!<br /></div>

            <p>I&#39;m sitting on the standard-issue dorm bed in room 315 of Johnson hall at Wake Forest University. I&#39;m spending the night here with my gorgeous boyfriend in his cute little single room! He&#39;s playing some FPS game he downloaded off the internet, and I&#39;m taking advantage of the superfast download speeds on the wireless guest network to torrent the entire series of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoujo_Kakumei_Utena">Shoujo Kakumei Utena</a>. We&#39;ve had quite an exciting day; dinner was had at the new Jimmy John&#39;s on downtown 4th Street, we walked to coffee at Krankies, and came back here for sneaky bathroom trips (boys bathrooms are smelly!) and a resident adviser dressed like Flavor Flav. He tried to assure us he didn&#39;t normally dress like that, but, he looked so much like a white rapper (Everlast, anyone?) I don&#39;t know if I believe him.</p><p>Anyway, we&#39;re just going to snuggle in Chuck&#39;s twin bed and I&#39;m going to resist the urge to use the really cute ballpoint pins he bought me as a &quot;going to college&quot; present. He also got me a 24-count case of college ruled, single subject, spiral notebooks and a few other things. Like envelopes so we can write each other letters! Oh, school supplies are so romantic.. and I&#39;m only being like 20% sarcastic.</p><p>This is making me so excited to move in! Also, my mouth tastes slightly like minty cotton candy because Chuck got his dad to buy me some pepto bismol. Also exciting!<br /></p>

            <p>I&#39;m cramping something awful. But I&#39;m one of those weirdos who really enjoys their period so it&#39;s okay. Not &quot;enjoys&quot; as in the sexual fetish way but as in the &quot;I love alternative menstrual products&quot; way. Seriously, having and using my divacup has made all this monthly bleeding something to look forward to. Yay, environment! Boo, chlorine bleach!</p><p>Anyway, I&#39;m waiting for it to be later so I can go over to my grandmother&#39;s and we can go have lunch with her side of the family. I always get a little nervous when I&#39;m going to see my mother&#39;s side of the family, just because I tend to be really quiet and reserved in comparison to my cousins and sister. You&#39;d figure I&#39;d get used to it after my entire life, but I really haven&#39;t.</p><p>Tomorrow Chuck is bringing me delicious cobbler and we are going to cuddle forever. I love my baking baby.. what a cutie! I also want to go to Krankies because our plans have been foiled by sketch bands too many times! But that could be either tomorrow or the next day. An early morning adventure for breakfast and delicious coffee? Yes, I think so.</p><p>In other news, I feel better than I have in months!<br /> </p>

 <div>Today was super fun. I went to a party at Erin&#39;s grandmother&#39;s house and there were a bunch of people there and the food was delicious.. not to mention the good times had by me and my delightful friends. Did you know I got a turkey in Wii bowling? Yeah, that&#39;s badass. (oh, btw, the people left to right in the Warioware tv shot are Faithe, Samia, Erin, Jorge, and me.) The entirety of the pictures are on Facebook, yo.<br /><br />In other news, a haiku:<br /><br /><em>Lying on the road,<br />a few ate until they burst.<br />I eat what burst out.<br /></em></div>

<div><em>I&#39;ve got a cabin in the forest where I live by myself<br />
I&#39;ve got my head inside a jar that I keep up on a shelf<br />
I&#39;ve got bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles of bottles<br /><br />
And the things I say are always just some form of list or<br />rhetorical
question or <br />time doesn&#39;t exist or <br />the fact that no one ever knows
anything, <br />but we all fall asleep when we&#39;re tired<br /><br />
I&#39;ve got a really great idea, i&#39;ve got a...<br /><br />
Well everybody stand up and clap your feet<br />I said listen up we&#39;ve got a musical treat<br />

 <div>Here is that song I think I mentioned in my last post. It&#39;s so beautiful.. I&#39;ve been listening to it forever. Her voice has such a distinct characteristic and it&#39;s just.. haunting!<br /><br />Speaking of music, I&#39;ve been on a downloading spree today. More and more Bjork, The Mountain Goats, Serj Tankian (finally!) and some other stuff that I&#39;m forgetting. It&#39;s so delightful to have new music to listen to, take in, and digest. It&#39;s almost frightening at first, but it usually turns out okay in the end I think. :)<br /><br />

Here&#39;s another picture I took of my koi fish for a community on Livejournal that I&#39;ve been a member of for a while. I got so many compliments that I&#39;m paranoid it&#39;s just some elaborate joke. But, I guess not. My leg is still really swollen, but I don&#39;t think me walking around on it all day helped much at all. Ice packs and elevated legs are nice.<br /><br />My nana and I went shopping today for dorm room stuff. We originally went to Sears (she worked there for like 30 years and gets a discount even though she&#39;s retired) but she was disappointed with the selection so we only got some pillows there. We bought a bunch of stuff at Target, because they had so much cute stuff! I&#39;m so excited to snuggle into my quilt and micro-fleece blanket and all this stuff. It&#39;s making me really excited to move, but at the same time, I&#39;m really nervous because I really have no clue what I need to bring aside from the obvious stuff. I guess I shouldn&#39;t stress so much, because I was originally worried that my dad didn&#39;t want to pay for any of this stuff but it turned out okay in the end. So optimism is good!<br /><br />I&#39;ve been keeping in touch with Kearstin (who is in California visiting family) via email over the past few days, and it&#39;s super fun just to write these elaborate letters to each other about the entirety of what&#39;s been going on. She also has a wicked sense of humor that makes me giggle. For instance, in this past email, she told me that everyone down there is a &quot;Molly Mormon&quot; who wants to make babies for the rest of their lives to &quot;continue their family name.&quot; She said that her rebuttal was that she was just going to live forever so she doesn&#39;t have to worry about passing down anything. &lt;3<br /><br />Tomorrow, Chuck is coming over after work to spend the night with me and we&#39;re going off cavorting around Kernersville to gather some needed items. I am positively stoked.<br /></div><div><br /></div>

Snarky and decidedly one of the funniest game show hosts ever, seemingly without putting forth a creepy and obvious amount of effort. <br /><br />In other news, Aaron had me almost convinced my house was haunted last night and the air conditioning stopped working. My dad got the fan working pretty well, so if I shut all the vents in the unused adjacent rooms and keep my door shut, I can pretend I&#39;m in Florida instead of sub-Saharan Africa. <br /><br />Right now I&#39;m listening to beautiful music and scanning my computer for viruses. I found out the other day that my student laptop initiative software bundle includes proprietary antivirus software so why not use it? Even though it&#39;s slightly annoying to hear the fan running so much but that just might be my MacBook&#39;s response to the heat.<br /><br />I&#39;m really excited for this weekend. Samia is turning 18 on Saturday (and Faithe is turning 18 tomorrow!) so we&#39;re going to get a matching tattoo. Wow, cliched? But no.. it&#39;s something we&#39;ve been thinking about for a long time and I think it&#39;s going to be beautiful. Getting it with her is going to be super fun, and it actually gives me an excuse to get this done. I still can&#39;t 100% decide on where I want it positioned, though, but I&#39;ll discuss that with Samia. Also, Charles is spending the night with me on Friday, and there is talk of Jorge planning a movie date for a bunch of friends on that same day. Exciting exciting exciting.<br /></div><div><br /></div>

            <p>Guess it&#39;s too late for me to go back to sleep, huh? Oh well. </p><p>I didn&#39;t sleep very well, as per the past three nights or so. I wake up at about 5am and keep waking up every hour or so until I finally decide to pull myself out of bed. Last night, Chuck slept with me, and he had to wake up at 8:45 to go over to Wake so that didn&#39;t help. I wish we could have cuddled longer. :( It&#39;s still arctic in my house, and my blankets are in the wash due to human error so we had to huddle for warmth. Now I&#39;m wearing his jacket and I&#39;m under some baby blanket.</p>

 <div>Here is a delicious song because I am craving candy. (Thanks, Kelsea! &gt;:O!) It makes me want to sing falsetto and drink diet Coke. And I hate diet Coke!<br /><br />Today has been nice for the most part, considering I had Chipotle for lunch and got to see some of the sky as the sun was rising. The dew on the cast-iron lawn chair I was sitting on was simultaneously chilling and refreshing. Last night my tummy was hurting really bad.. Aaron wanted to get some Chinese buffet food and after one plate I was <em>so</em> done. But I ate more anyway because Chuck was paying for me and I didn&#39;t want to waste his money. (No, I&#39;m not blaming you!) Either way, later, I had some bad indigestion. But I&#39;m feeling a lot better now! Chipotle heals all!<br /><br />The past few days have been slightly more interesting than the usual summer fare, which is good. Today I&#39;m planning on playing some Pokemon Red as usual. I rented Super Paper Mario for the Wii, but it&#39;s just not catching my fancy. It&#39;s not RPG-styled (as far as I can tell) like the other ones and that&#39;s what I loved in the first place.<br /><br />You know, I just noticed that I haven&#39;t crossed off any days on my calendar since July 8th. I am very behind.. and I think that&#39;s why I&#39;ve been having such a hard time figuring out what day it is.<br /></div>
