When you haven't posted in a long time, it becomes difficult to think of a way to sum everything up. With highs, and lows, where does one find Flow? What is the overall emoticon? The takeaway message?
Happiness. (and I'm not even in Denton!)
I've been a little frustrated at the carrots on strings being dangled and snatched away in my life -- no one wants a chubby marionette. Sure, I may not live up to your expectations of me, but do you have to be so obvious while you punish me? Also, my refurbed Apple laptop - Renegade - is giving me the Grey Screen of Death. So, gotta take it into a "genius"
But aside from that, things are brilliantly good. Thanksgiving was spent in New Jersey with Adam's family - mother, father, sister, brother. I played a grotesque amount of Nerf Guns and saw why it was that families with multiple children have such a playful bond.
I think the best part was continuing my tradition of having Thanksgiving NOT with my family but still feeling like I was surrounded by family. Plus, yummy food. Is it actually possible to eat stuffing all year round?
The best thing about having no school too is the things you can do with your free time -- like GAME. D&D on Sunday with nothing but boys and football, and topped off with Black Friday gaming. The highlights of course having a big nerdy Labyrinth sleepover and all of us piling into ONE car and making fun of geeks... while we drove to a gaming store.
I ran into an old friend of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pokaine and discovered that he's doing really well and is married and lives in California. Knowing that he's doing well made me really happy.
I've also now seen TWO movies -- Beowulf in Digital 3D (which I actually really enjoyed) and Enchanted (which made me want to vomit for nearly 2 hours). Good friends, good food, good entertainment. It's been a whirlwindedly wonderful week.
AND I might be moving. Fingers crossed, everyone.
And, of course, the real zenith of it all was getting to spend more than two days in a row with Adam, who continues to charm and delight me.
There will be many quotations from our over-too-quickly week together, but the first the that comes to mind is:
With that, I keep my good news and more detailed grievances to myself in order to motivate myself to find a part-time job and clean my room.
