plastic swords + fried pickles = my weekend recap

Good Monday to you and what good times have been had.

"What if what I want makes you sad at me?"

Well, this persistently perky mood of mine has fortunately decided to stick around for the past couple of weeks. Perhaps I am shooting for a record here...

Because it would set a record for me. And that is cool. So, anyways, I will just go with it.

Maybe it is a good thing not being in school anymore. Maybe I am exiting my unnecessary but unavoidable panic mode a little prematurely than planned. That is a good thing. However, I have discovered that i now have an intense urge to move. That might be a good thing as well.

Well, I'm certain that it feels like a lot. It is a lot. However, there is much more that must be taken into consideration if staying is what you choose to do. It is difficult when particular situations only allow you to see from one perspective. From my angle, there is only one real option, but that is just me and you are you.

Awkward conversation between the awesome Sears tire guy and myself.

Tire guy: "Can I help you?"
Me: "Um, I believe I need two new tires. I am not good with tires and don't know which two need replacing - here is my receipt from last year."
Tire guy: "Wow, you may not know tires, but you are good at keeping up with things!"
Me: "Yes, yes I am"

A few highlights from the weekend and of life in general :

Fun, random night in with fun, random people. You really can't go wrong when monopoly, twister, homemade long island teas, panda shot glasses, and cheap plastic swords are involved.

New cds + great weather = amazingly nice 3-hour drives

There's nothing like a roadtrip to Chattanooga to help revive the days that existed before $400 plane tickets to Memphis became a necessity.

Falling asleep for the first time on someone's back on a crappy futon while watching "The Dark Knight" for the third time, might have made it the best time.

Eating some excellent chicken fries and fried pickles at an excellent establishment.

New tires for the old Honda!

Unexpected Valentine's Day visit plans. I relearned today that I love buying presents. Hopefully I won't get called in that night.

Helping, although in a rather small way, with the wedding plans.

Too many phone calls. Too many of a lot of things.

I have learned that I am unable to do much of anything the traditional way these days. That's not really a bad thing.

A trip to the best Japanese restaurant with the best friend ever. Fortune cookie - "Investigate new possibilities with friends. Now is the time!"

A return to normalcy that I actually look forward to and enjoy. There is no longer a need to want to escape and for that I will always be thankful.

There is so much more that I can't seem to remember. Maybe later...

That's all for now.

Life is good, so good night to you,

E
