Did you hold your breath? Did you? Well then you are dead now, or at least turning blue like a choking actor in a 1970's public service video on the Heimlich Maneuver. Take a deep breath and come back to us please. I moved again. Yeah, I think I'm a wandering gypsy at heart, but this time I just moved to a cheaper place closer to school. The parrot and I are settled in, but I'm still learning to

Sure, this could be a post about recent life lessons that moved me strongly, inspired in me deepest emotion....bla bla bla.This is really all about things I learned about moving to a city where I know absolutely no one, in a state where I know about *counts on fingers* maybe 5 people.

In just two short (short) months I have to graduate from college, say goodbye to several people I have grown quite attached to, move my entire self (plus parrot) from Texas to Florida, find a place to live, get my textbooks, and start graduate school.Oh, and also find the money to do it all.

My social life is pathetic. My work ethic is horrid. I spend all my time knowing I should be studying, wishing I were out having fun, and doing nothing at all.And the weather is beautiful, damn beautiful, for this brief moment between 'seasons.' What do I do with that? Sit outside alone? Go for a walk alone?With no word from schools, everything in my life is paused, expectant, waiting for

Something occurred to me this morning. It used to be that when I had dreams involving romance or romantic happy times,* the subject of that dream would be a bit generic. As in, he would have no face/identity, and this was true even when I was dating someone. I would wake up with the general feeling that the guy in my dream was my boyfriend/crush/husband, but never in the dream did I actually see

I can be goofy, but mostly I am a serious person. Even when I'm not feeling "serious" I come across as though I am, because that is my face and my default personality. Sometimes I brush that off and nudge myself in a more fun, outgoing direction, but sometimes I don't want to. Maybe I am too tired or maybe that is just the mood I am in. My point here is that the choice is up to ME. Don't be

I had fun today, helping Girl Scouts make electric guitars. Each girl got to make her own; it had one string, a hand-wound (by us, painstakingly) pickup, and an amplifying circuit. Plug it into your computer speakers, and rock until your parents take it away! The physics guys mostly made the circuits, which they soldered into card stock instead of circuit board, which I think is infinitely cool.

So I went to donate blood this week, and was turned down for low iron. I descended upon the grocery store to get foods high in iron, but by the labels I did not get enough. So I proceeded to the supplement section, and it was right at the pharmacy counter. The pharmacist insisted on being helpful, even though I only planned on getting one of the Centrum or 1-a-Day multivitamins. I left with

Things are stressful but proceeding roughly according to The Current Plan 2007-2010(c).I read a comic today (Zits, I think) and the kid said:"The only thing that bothers me about school is that its so...well...DAILY." I think that's where I am right now. I'm at school from 8am to 6pm some days, plus homework.Today I went to donate blood and was told I had too low iron, which really brought home

We went before the judge this morning, and were told we had to redo our Divorce Decree in order to clearly state the division (none) of our respective military retirement benefits. Balls.On the upside, this means that the name change is back ON, because we have to re-file the decree anyway. Sweet!On to next Friday, then.

I just put yesterday and today's rides into my Bike Journal (at bikejournal.com), and discovered that I've hit 200.00 miles total! That's 74.20 for the month of August, so far. Oh, and apparently I've only been to the library downtown twice, not three times like I said in my last post.

I've been to the library three times this week. That's 33 miles total by bike, for those of you not keeping track. In conclusion: I give up, for now.Because the divorce petition states that I want my name changed back, it is now a gigantic pain in my ass to change it to something else. It would have just been a minor pain in the ass if I had kept it as Jones, and then filed the name change to

I'm still unsure about what to name myself after the divorce. I never really wanted to change to Jones. Its a dumb name, a dumb tradition, and yet another reason I should have known getting married was dumb.Of course, N*****n might be what I'm stuck with, since I already file the papers. I might try to change it at the final hearing, though. People, I don't know who Niel is, but I'm certainly

Fun was had. Not wild party fun, but spending time with my friends and family, doing generally unboring stuff.Things were photographed. Lots. Maybe I'll upload them later.Money was spendeded. Way way more than I intended. See, it all started with a sqeaky belt...Driving was droved. And then more. And then not, until the car was fixed. And then some more driving. And I will never drive

We saw The Happening last week. It was enjoyable, with appropriate amounts of gore and "holy shit no way!" moments. It was bad, but that's because I think it was supposed to be corny bad. The male lead acted, or not, I'm not sure. It would have been scarier without the "suspense music," although Amanda still jumped. Hehehehe. The premise was intriguing, but towards the end I was trying not to

We went to the park today, while the apartment aired out. I took him in the big cage, and put a water dish in the bottom. If I had known he would try to bathe in it, I would have taken the big blue plate.My voice makes me cringe. Yes, I do talk to him all the time, just like that. I tried to edit out as much as possible, but it is sooo hard to not tell him how cute he is. I mean really.

It was important to me that he arrive at the new place when it was uncluttered, and full of furniture and such that he was familiar with.
