Blurb My Brain:
So I took today and yesterday off of work, because I thought that the movers were going to be here.  I was of course wrong, but again, things happen.  But, regardless, the plan originally was to kick some laundry monsters' ass, and clean the room to where it doesn't disgust even me.  But, alas, we had errands to run, and (crap. be right back.....i just realized i had laundry waiting for me) and by the time I got home, I was grammar policing Boyfriend's paper and eating dinner.

I had added a bunch of people on facebook from my high school.  I figured its been three years since we graduated, some are married already (a lot of whom I thought should have stayed single), a great number are engaged, and quite a few have happy lives and all.  I'm not going to say that my life is unhappy, cause it's not.  I am just saying that these people got me thinking about how much life can change.  In three years, I have gone to college and flunked out-ish, moved to Europe, and traveled all over Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, and Luxembourg, and I have found love in the most unlikely of places (my dad's office. lol).  I have also lost a bit of weight, gotten into shape, kicked some bad habits, started some more, and have conditioned my liver.  I have made friends with Germans, Dutch, and Turkish, and learned how to speak German.  All in two years time.

Now I'm returning to the States, and I wonder what kind of adventures I am going to face next.  How much can I do in the next chapter of my life? What can I see? Who will I meet? What will I do that I will regret? What will I NOT do that I will regret?

Sadly, it will probably just be a lot of job hunting and homework.  But still, the anticipation excites me.

In the meantime, I'm just wasting away in these next 19 days I am here.  I am just cleaning and cleaning and drinking and cleaning.  Then it's driving and driving and driving.

The only benefit I am looking at is that when I land, I'll have 2 months until I see Boyfriend again.  And when we finally find a house and move in, I'll only have 1 month until I see Boyfriend.  And by the time I unpack, school will start, and I'll be seeing Boyfriend.

I miss him, Readers. I miss him in ways I didn't know were possible. I'd gotten over the sex (Sorry parents!) , and I just miss his presence. I miss picking up his apartment, or nagging him to take me to Taco Bell.  I miss the glow of his TV that kept me up for many nights when we first started dating.  I miss headbanging in the car with him.  I miss the smell of his farts when we're in the car, and his immediate giggling because he felt like he'd done something to annoy me.  I miss him annoying me. lol. I miss his jokes about my hair around his apartment, and my jokes about him losing his.  I guess that's what people don't tell you when you start out being a military....whatever.  They don't tell you that the long distance is hard because of the lack of intimacy (Sorry AGAIN parents).  I just feel like I'm wasting away without him here to share my life with. Gah. Now I'm crying. Evil fucking emotions. I HAVE NO SOUL SO I HAVE NO EMOTIONS! lol.  You don't believe me, and you shouldn't.
