Oh blogging, how I miss you

Okay, so I haven't blogged in forever. I would say I'm going to start again, but I won't make that promise yet, haha.

I did this whole survey thing a year or so ago, and I'm reposting it with new responses. It amazes me thinking back to who my responses were intended for and how my feelings towards most of those people have changed...completely.

TEN things you wish you could say to TEN different people right now:
1. I am so glad I have you in my life. You are my other half and I can't wait until I'm back there so we can be together all the time. You're my BFF. 35 days!
2. I've missed you. Please don't hurt me again.
3. You aren't the person I thought you were. I will never forget the things you said and how badly they hurt.
4. Why can't you just love and accept me? You have no idea how much this is killing me.
5. I can't believe everything changed so quickly. You really disappointed me.
6. There are no words for how much I love you. Thanks for listening to me.
7. I'm so glad we're friends. I don't know what I'd do without you.
8. You mean more to me than you know. I'm so glad I have you in my life.
9. I may have missed you the most. I know you would never believe me, but I look up to you SO MUCH. I can't wait to see you.
10. You're such a hypocrite.

Things are changing in my life - hopefully it's for the better.
I feel really good about where things are headed.

oh, stress...

so it's officially about to be the third week of school...and I have two tests. Two. The third week. That's not really right, if you ask me.

In other news, I'm thinking that having a puppy is the best kind of therapy. It doesn't matter how crappy my day has been, when I walk through that door and he starts jumping up and down, so excited to see me that he can't even control himself...it just all melts away.

an open letter to jerky guy on the bus:

dear jerky guy on the bus:
i was in a good mood this morning. no, scratch that: i was in a GREAT mood. my hair was looking good (for once), i had a super cute outfit, it was freezing cold outside and it was super foggy. now, most people don't like the foggy weather, but i love it. so, needless to say, i was unusually happy as i was walking to the bus stop at 7:30 this morning.

however, when i got to the back of the bus, where you were sitting, all of that changed. i don't know if you noticed, you were so engrossed in your iphone, but i was carrying a laptop. and i'm freaking 5'2''. that's short. those bars for the people standing to hold are HIGH. i can barely reach them. so, naturally, when i got back to where you were sitting and had to practically stand on my tiptoes to reach the bars with one hand, while holding my laptop in the other, i thought you might give me your seat. all the other guys around you gave up theirs - - i don't know if you noticed but i was the ONLY GIRL standing up in that area of the bus.

but no. you didn't. and you know what? that's okay. some guys don't like to give up their seats, and i understand that.
but did you really have to sit there with your legs all spread out taking up TWO SEATS?! i think that was a little unnecessary, don't you?

and i know that there was one other guy who didn't give up his seat back there. but he looked sad. and he was only taking up one seat. and i wasn't standing directly in front of him.

so, jerky guy on the bus, thanks for making my day a little crappier.
really. i appreciate it.

sincerely,
amanda

gilmore girls.

i had a pretty terrible day today...
by the time i made it home i was almost in tears...

however - about 10 minutes into gilmore girls and all of that is gone.

it's like therapy for your soul.

oh so busy.

i promise i will start using this thing more often.

i haven't had much to say lately.
and the few things i do have to say have been criticized by a majority of those around me...
so i'll just keep those to myself.

life has been beautiful lately.
i've loved everything about it...

the feeling of finishing a week that is entirely too hectic.
laying on the couch for hours watching gilmore girls and reliving each and every moment (good and bad) through watching his face.
working at a place where, three times a week, i get to spend a few hours with some seriously amazing kids.
knowing that thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. and he will be there to share in all of the traditions, the food, and the laughter.
having him here. to share in stupid things like laughing about something we saw on campus, or yelling at people who don't know how to drive...but also to have him hold me while a cry away the worst day i've had all year.

mmm.
i'm just...happy.

i love him.

(while shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday for couch pillows)

me: "Well...I'd say either navy blue or yellow will work best."
him: "I can' have yellow pillows on my couch...I'm a man."

I cannot wait until August...I'm so ready to be back in CS.

p.s. I'm loving my required books for classes this semester. The list includes Alice In Wonderland, Fast Food Nation, and Harold and the Purple Crayon.
