The Burdens of Being Upright

Jan 30, 2006

i like doing things around the house. it makes me excited to fix and repair and repaint. because at first whatever im working on will look like crap, then when im done it will look really great. its so nice to see a finished product when youre working on something.

today i cut down this one tree that was in the way and knocked down the fence parts that were dry rotted. tomorrow its supposed to rain so i guess on monday i can fix the fence and be all done with it. i also painted a lot of nikki's room. theres only one little part left to do which i can finish tomorrow. then on wednesday we can clean the carpet and hopefully nikki and katie will have switched rooms by this weekend. that will rule. now the basement wont be as messy.

this post will be interesting to no one but katie.

i like myself and where i'm at right now. i remember when i was young, like elemntary school young, i was real outgoing and had tons of friends and aquaintances. and if i was around someone, i'd automatically introduce myself and start talking to them. but now i am the least outgoing person. i really like having just a small group of friends. in my mind the number of friends you have is proportionate to how close you are with each individual. that may not be true for everyone, but it makes sense to me. i love living with katie and nikki. they are awesome roommates. school starts in 6 days. on the one hand i'm kind of excited to actually do well this semester and i guess prove myself. on the other hand i really hate school and i always have. thats ok, only 5 and half years left of it for me. haha. man. me and katie have been playing xbox a lot and getting pretty good at it. and i miss jason a whole lot. i cannot cannot wait for him to get home.
the past few days ive started a whole new healthy living thing. ive been going to the gym more and eating a whole lot better. im down to only one can of soda a day, which is such a vast improvement for me. and ive been drinking a lot more water and eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies. ive also discovered that i really like cooking. me and katie have been cooking dinners a lot lately. and its a lot of fun. ive come to be not bad at it. usually ill think of something i want to make then call my mom and ask her what to do. and so far i havent ruined anything yet. everything i've made has actually been good. im so grown up, cooking my own meals and everything, haha.

im an aweful sleeper. lately ive been going to bed about 5 am and waking up around 2pm. im gonna be so messed up when school starts back up. im more than halfway done stripping the cabinets. then its time to trick home depot and get some paint for them. alright so here's is me and katie's plan for saving money. home depot has this shelf of "oops paint" which is paint they mix for people and then the people decide thats its not really the color they had in mind. so they put it on this one cart and sell it for 5 bucks a gallon. me and katie lucked out and found almost the exact color we wanted in the oops paint for our bathroom, saving us about 15 bucks. but for our kitchen cabinets, theres a certain color that we want. so here's the plan. i go to home depot and have them mix up the color that i want. then when theyre done i be like "ummm thats not really the color i thought it would be... i dont think ill get any paint now" and then i leave. then theyll put it in the oops paint and a little later katie will come and buy it. and wahlah! cheap paint!

jason's still in europe, where hell be for the next 3 1/2 weeks. i miss him a whole lot. i wish i had the money to travel. if i havent been to at least 2 other countries by the time im 21, then my life will have gone very wrong.

i just watched the notebook. and at the end i started crying, like just a little bit, happy tears. but then the plot changed and i started bawling. straight up all out bawling. that movie man... ive never cried so hard for a movie before. and i used to hear people talking about how much they cried during it and think "you are some sentimental little woosy" and then i saw it and.... and i'm a little woosy.
jason's in europe and he wont get back until february 1st. i miss him so much! i wish he was on the same continent as me.
