It's funny how the little things make you realize how much you love a person. Even better when those little things are completely random.
David left me a message on Google chat this evening:
"alli, I leave this message in hopes it will reach you.
Awfully ominous no?
I am running errands tomorrow morning with my mom, we both have reasons to go to the hospital (im just getting another inhaler, no worries)
And we will do some shopping and all that. I will call you once we get back.
I cannot wait to see you,
David"
For some reason, after reading this, I couldn't stop smiling and thinking of him.
Quite peculiar, love is.
I had another Lost night with Ryan. I'm half way through season four! It definitely makes up for the slow third season. Poor Ryan, he pulled an all nighter last night, like me, and ended up falling asleep. I've estimated that in the past two days, I have had about nine hours of sleep total.
Time for bed!

Late night pie
Ugh, its 3 am and I am too exhausted to write much of anything.
I had a midnight pie run at Denny's with Ryan tonight. We caught up, and talked a lot about relationships, mostly comparing my logical approach to his emotional approach. He helped me make a list of questions and variables I should know before admitting my feelings of love to David. Big questions on the list included:
- What kind of relationship does he want? More specifically, where would he like this relationship to go?
- In terms of communication, does he prefer blunt or subtle?
- What kind of personality does he have? (So far, laid-back, a touch submissive, great humor)
- What, in this relationship, would he like to see changed?
- What things make him nervous?
There were other questions too, but these were big ones.
Now, time to go curl up in bed, watch Sex in the City, and sleep.

Classes, Classes, Classes! (and music)
I had my lab class tonight, and decided afterward to drop it. I expected the intro Biology classes to be easy, but this was ridiculous. At least in the lecture I am learning a few things here and there, which is exactly what I wanted: to fill in the blanks of my basic biology knowledge.
I managed to get a 50% refund for the lab, which is better then nothing. All the more time to spend working (once I actually get a job).
In other class news, I finally managed to get into a fall '09 Chemistry class & lab at my actual university, instead of having to drive 50 miles away to the other campus. Its going to save me a nice bit of money, since I was going to have to pay mandatory fee for both campuses, not to mention the cost of gar driving there. It's not with my preferred teacher, but she is not as bad as some of the others, according to student reviews (I always schedule my entire semester not around work or sleep, but professors. Trust me, it makes a difference.)
I also managed to get a music player on the blog! How do you like it? I like a lot of harder rock and metal as well, but this is my feel good/wake up/calm down music. Hard rock on my blog didn't seem to fit. There's some of the newer hits by MIA, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, as well as some good beats by Paul van Dyke, Engine Room, Blue Man Group, and Massive attack. Some of my feminist favorites such as Beautiful, Fighter, and Miss Independent, and calmer tunes by Elysian Fields, Gary Jules, and Death Cab for Cutie.
And geeky ones such as Flight of the Conchords and John Coulton.
I stopped by Davids house on my way back home, and gave him a gift of charcoal pencils. They were pretty cheap, but I could not really afford better, and I wanted to give him a gift. I remember him saying he likes drawing with charcoal.
I ended up falling asleep while watching Family Guy, curled up on the couch with him.
Yay!

Night with David
David came over tonight to hang out. Although I've seen more of him then I usually do this past week, we haven't had much alone time to just hang out without any obligations or plans. It was a wonderful evening, very relaxed and laid back. It was good to spend time with him without the distractions of friends or puppies. He had to leave a bit earlier then we both would have liked, since he has puppy watch tomorrow, and I have 8:30 class (yes, I actually have class this time)
He made a humorous short movie last week with a bunch of his friends, where he played the part of a gay Abraham Lincoln, complete with a three foot high top hat, black trench coat and five inch white go-go boots. He loved the look and is thinking of designing a character from it.
Enter Lincoln!

Late night drive
David was upset tonight, over a game he and his friends have been designing. Some of their most original ideas cropped up in a newly released game. He was frustrated, as well as tired from a boring day at work. So I took a quick trip down the highway (I love driving at night), to go comfort him.
I was good to see him. I had not seen him since last Friday. We spent about an hour cuddling together, which was awesome. He calmed down pretty quickly. The nice thing about David is that when he gets frustrated, he does not scream or shout, or get violent. Considering how shouting is my #1 anxiety trigger, I appreciate his calm demeanor, even when his emotions are running high.
He's so awesome.

Restart
Time to move the records of my life from pen and paper to HTML and keyboard.
Summer is finally here, with long sunlit days working hard to thaw out my frozen home state.
Although the spring semester ended a week ago, I still find myself in a state of recovery. These past seven days have been filled with mornings well spent sleeping in, catching up with friends I lost contact with over the semester, spending time with David, digging into a pile of books, and pouring money into Blockbuster in order to catch up with my favorite TV shows.
I finally caught up on Nip/Tuck, House, and How I Met Your Mother. I kinda miss TV. It's a rule of mine never to own a TV while in college; I had one while living in the dorms and found myself annoyed by its constant interference with my studies. I rent TV shows now, (or watch them online), but only when I have the time for them.
David and I, along with a ton of friends, saw the new Star Trek movie on opening night. It was amazing! The acting was top notch, the special effects were stunning, the story line was solid. I highly recommend it. While I enjoyed both movies, I personally preferred it over Watchmen. I enjoyed it a second time last night with my room mates, Isaac and Bri.
On Friday, I went to go see David's new puppy. A yorkie-poodle mix named Chewy. Normally I am not a fan of small dogs, but who can resist a puppy? The fact that it does not yap excessively helps.
On Saturday, I bought my mother flowers (petite yellow roses, her favorite), and gave them to her for mothers day. Her P.O.S Dell finally died, which means she is buying a new computer. She plans to buy a new iMac, which makes me happy. This also means she will no longer be using dial-up internet (I never understood her reasons for using internet technology a decade outdated). A new Mac and high speed internet! I'm excited.
Welcome to the 21st century, Mother!
On Sunday I rescued a kitten. I saw an ad for a free kitten, and discovered a malnourished 5 month old female being tormented by five children, one of whom had cut off some of her whiskers. I do not know if I will keep her or find a better home for her, but I could not let her remain where she was. The kitten, a scratching post, litter box, litter, and two bags of food, all for free. Not a bad deal, eh? I named her Lithium (Lithie for short).
Why Lithium? Because she makes crazy people happy.
This week I'm getting back into the mode of responsibility.
That means facing the horrendous amount of money I have spent the last two weeks on food, movie tickets, books, movie rentals, and hair; promising myself to create a budget and spend my money wiser.
It means turning in my summer loan application.
It means applying for a summer job at the university's IT Department.
It means working on my DOT biohazard transportation regulations for my MT class.
I've done most of this. Tomorrow, I turn in the IT application and work on the MT class. And then I will be free until next Monday, when Summer classes (Intro Biology & accompanying lab) start. But tonight, I am sitting back and relaxing with a cut of green tea and season three of How I Met Your Mother.
And a shiny new blog.
