saaaaammy! the wonder dog!

hot damn, long distance relationships are haaaaaard. but i don't have to tell you guys that.

it's kind of a cool challenge to go through together, because you discover new creative ways to express your feelings for a person over a distance. but once it's been long enough and you reach that threshold, well, hot damn.

i get to go to CA on tuesdaaaaaay!!! he doesn't know that i'm coming that day (he thinks i'm not coming until friday) so i'm just gonna show up and he's going to be so surprised! mwahahaha...

my sleep patterns have been so weird the last couple of days. i lay down and my mind just races and i can't get to sleep. last night my parents had some people over for drinking and stand up comedy dvds. afterwards, melissa was supposed to go downtown with me but she got tired, so i was calling a bunch of people but nobody is in town so i ended up not going. this guy reggie stayed over and slept in my parents' basement and he and i had a pretty good conversation. it was nice because a lot of the guys in that group of people (my cousin's boyfriend's friends) are such disrespectful jackasses, and i usually close up around them and go into introvert mode. so my conversation with reggie helped me realize that they are only jackasses to impress each other, and on an individual basis they aren't so bad. i mean, i know that about people already, but it was a good reminder. i generally really like most people on an individual basis. but peer pressure can do ugly things to people. so i was up late talking to him and then i still had energy so i went into the unfinished part of the basement and painted for a bit, just playing with textures. it was fun, but holy crap i'm bad at painting. drawing comes so much easier to me, not that i'm awesome at that either, but better than painting! then i got back here and did some reading and passed out around 5am.

in other news, yesterday i got to see my sammy (the dog i took care of for a semester while my friend was in portland) and it was sooo awesome to see him!!! he adores me :) he is pictured above, because i can't seem to figure out how to move pictures to make them halfway through the post. hmmm. i am technologically awesome!

in other other news, my period nearly killed me today. i would like to thank my heating pad and nutella for getting me through that, since i kept puking up pain pills. damn gag reflex. i will leave you with that little bit of over-sharing...
