summer recap until now
12 July 2008 12:30Because I haven't been posting and because I like to do these countdowns... These last two months will be revealed via a series of 25 fast facts, bolded for emphasis!
25. I got myself moved into my house which is off campus, beautiful, old, and fucking falling apart because of the jackass people who rented it previously. This led me to do a lot of painting, sanding, and buying furniture of my own which pushed me nicely into
24. DEBT. For the first time ever I was pretty deep in the red and paying the bank off with my credit card which then got fixed by my mother since I hadn't gotten a paycheck yet from my
23. Job as a Knox TeleAmbassador where I call up high schoolers and tell them about all the great things Knox has to offer them, and sometimes get hung up on and sometimes meet great people.
22. During work, I have cubicle warfare with Cami in which we put insulting post-its on each other's desks when we leave the room. Afterwards we go to
21. Rehearsal for Dust and Dreams the Carl Sandburg poetry based musical which is premiering in Galesburg August 8th that Cami, Loren, Sean and I are performing in. Afterwards I either get stolen by Mike or called in to heal for
20. World of Warcraft, in which I have finally gotten my first epix ever from running Karazhan with David's guild. The usual suspects are me, Simon, and Nate, whom I also saw when I went home for
19. 4th of July to see my family and friends which worked out just fine and dandy until Steve showed up very drunk and was fairly violent until I left, leaving me re-thinking my two weeks vacation which was previously going to be used for
18. Going to Alaska with perhaps a surprise stop in Utah on the way to pick up![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
egamst3k (it was supposed to be a surprise) for adventures and now will probably be used for an excursion to the
17. Bristol Renaissance Faire withfundabug and Mike x 2 followed by a visit to a lake house wait a second this is supposed to be a recap not an assertion of my upcoming plans, I'm sure you would all be much more excited to hear about my
16. First visit to Family Planning where I discovered that I can get my birth control pills at $8 a pack instead of $30 a pack. Phew! That's a load off. I usually take those pills at the same time as I take my anti-depressants but for some reason I
15. Didn't take them for a week and a half causing me to trip and fall right back over into weepy hysterical panic-attack tired all the time self-loathing, which was only intensified by my inability to let go of
14. Nicholas Alexander Giranda, despite the fact that we've been broken up for nearly two months I still have dreams about him, have stints where I miss him horribly, and have no idea how to sort out my feelings on the matter. Talking to him, but still not sure if it's good to talk to him or not, especially since I have no stabilizing influence here besides
13. Grace Anglican church, where I was recently baptized and took my first communion. I'm singing there as a cantrix of Gregorian chant-like things which I adore. Father Tom and his wife Shelley have been very good to me--Shelley even lent me gardening tools and plants which I used to start my first
12. Tomatoes! Fortunately or unfortunately it has been raining like a crazy bitch out here, unlike what's been happening in Iowa only in that we haven't flooded yet but we did have a
11. Boil Order where I was forced to boil water to drink it. I am fairly sure Galesburg should be under one of these all the time because its water sucks and also it was home to a
10. Serial killer. Which has nothing to do with boil orders but everything to do with me feeling icky about living down the street from Quick Sam's, the sketchy gas station food mart. Serial killer was caught, but Quick Sam's is still on the loose.
9. I have almost entirely stopped wearing shoes or underwear--my feet are calloused for summer, and my girl parts are happy because I wear a lot of skirts so they are well aired. This is not meant to imply that I am a gutterslut, merely comfortable.
8. My internet connection is named horseporn. Hilarity ensues.
7. I have my first ever electric bill on my desk right now not being paid, which I should really do.
6. There have got to be more important things that I can tell you about my summer--oh! Like going to Green Oaks and canoeing and afterwards having a barbecue and perhaps working at
5. Railroad Days, the country-fair sort of thing that happens in Galesburg. I learned to pour a beer, even though I hate beer.
4. Shit, I said all my good stuff earlier, and now I have to go
3. to
2. rehearsal where the lyricist is coming to hear the work we've done with his musical!
