Before the rest of the world
One of these days I’d love to start and maintain a blog about something clever, funny, and/or interesting, but I still haven’t come up with the idea. (Presumably I have the education.) Until then, I’ve only got this. Personal fodder is always in abundance.
I recently told my supervisor about my plans to book it on the 20th of June. \o/ It was earlier than the requisite 3 weeks, and they could have decided just to let me go instead of letting me work until THE VERY END, but she said they’d keep me as long as they could. And I may or may not have to train someone, which keeps me occupied. When idle, I often maintain an involuntary internal monologue wherein I explain things. If I didn’t dislike children so much, I’d be a teacher.
Here’s the part in the post where–OMG I MISS CRAZYLOSTSTAR LIKE BURNING
I mean, here’s the part where I name some random things that I’m into lately. (BUT SERIOUSLY I DO, SHE IS ABROAD FOR LIKE A MILLION YEARS, OMG COME BACK, BUT ALSO HAVE A GOOD TIME)
I never mentioned Torchwood, but I’m totally into it even though I don’t have cable, or I didn’t have cable before I reverted to parental living. The Captain Jack Harkness episode was everything I’d wanted and never expected out of it, and maybe out of television in general. ohnom. Also I’m all antsy for the Supernatural finale that I can’t watch yet ad;jdfj DEEEEAN.
There were some other things I think I meant to say, but apparently I have trouble recapping. I also am having trouble focusing on anything but the night of June 19th and the events that will follow. I don’t know if it’s really sunk in, yet. I should be more scared, but at this point my optimism just can’t be bothered to worry. It was just a short time ago that “zomg why aren’t we closer together” became an actual question to me, and there just wasn’t a valid answer for it. It was barely two months ago that I thought maybe this huge change in my life just might be possible, with some help. It’s been a crazy turn of events even since then. And I know once I begin to anticipate the departure realistically, once it’s two weeks, or one week away instead of just sometime in the future, I’m going to be a lot more nervous, a lot more incredulous that I thought I could do this. But we all have that reaction to big changes when they are soon to be a reality. It’s always more comfortable in the rut, but it’s not necessarily the right place to be, and not going is just not an option.
HOHO so anyway, Dad’s phone broke, and he can’t get a new one until I’m off the plan (and he can renew the contract), so I now have a new plan, or I will when the phone arrives. I haven’t had a new phone in about 3 or 4 years, so I’m also excited for that, even if it’s an unexpected expense at a bad time. My economic relief check was also not the $600 I was expecting, and lulz I forgot my final gas bill was going to be huge. Yay for my parents. \o/ ?
OH but one other thing that makes me excited is that on our cross-country trip, I’ll finally have an awesome reason to use Twitter! :D So we can chronicle our grueling 4-day journey for anyone wondering if we’ll ever get there.
And now I have to watch Stephen Colbert, because he is insanely adorable.
I MISS CRAZYLOSTSTAR.
