Fun, fun, fun!

These days have been hectic - and then suddenly the world stops and it feels as if its crawling away.

I just got back from staying over at Daryk's place - he and Alan had come to my house yesterday afternoon for a homemade supper of chicken, bread, and green beans - they seemed to love it. After dinner, we talked on the couch and Daryk invited me over to his parents house to play cards. He lived an hour or so away and so I thought maybe it would be too late, but then he said there was an extra bedroom to stay in and then we could go out on the lake the next day. I took that invitation! Fun!

So, I got packed and we went in his car. I enetered to a room of about 8 people I didn't know - but they were all happy go lucky and talkative - I fit right in! So, we all sat around the table and chatted - they brought up the name of "Gary Paulson" and I was floored.

"He lives around here?"

"Yeah, we keep asking about his dogs, why?"

They didn't know! "He writes books, he writes childrens novels.... you know, Hatchet..."

They looked at me as if they just lost the lottery ticket. Apparently they have talked on the phone and seen him but never got to see him. We even looked up his website and they wanted to hear about the Writer's conference dinner where I met him. It was fun to have something in common - poor Gary Paulson probably had burning ears all night - his name popped up a lot. :-) He is such a cool guy!

Well, Daryk and I played games the rest of the night and then went to sleep. I woke up to some techno music and thumping on the floor - Daryk had gotten up and was stomping on that dancing pad on the floor. hehe I gave it a try when I was dressed and I was terrible at it! But, then he got me on the four wheeler and we went all over the place on it - he let me see the whole farm. I loved everything! It was so cool!

Then we got home and his mom (his parents are the best) had made soup and we ate in the gazebo - beautiful fountains and such, then Daryk took me on the boat to go on the lake and he even let me drive ! Eeep hehe I did have fun tho.

We ate dinner at the county fair (small but cute) and then headed home. Gave Alan a call (RA) and he came over and I showed them how to play Shang Hai - hilarious! Then they both left - /sigh. I had too much fun. :-) I want more! hehehe

We are all three heading to Alien Vs Predator tomorrow - should be a good movie. :D

8 Days Left!!

Yes, everyone may rejoice - there is only 8 more days until the Metallica Concert! I have my hair dye (red of course), my hyperactivity, and I did get my brothers ticket and he will be sitting right next to us! Yay!

I have my library books still and they are due on the 25th (reminder to self) - but I need to finish up my paper in the next week here, so I can not worry about it anymore.

Holly and I colored up my RA on Duty pictures, going to make a Charlie Brown and co. poster and all the RAs will be different characters - I think I either picked out Marcy or Peppermint Patty - haven't decided yet. :-D

Metallica, here I come!

Yes, my life will now be complete. I have purchased tickets to Metallica and Godsmack - I will be enthralled for more than two hours in a booming, heated, sloshing pit as I enjoy the entertainment. I got aisle 11 and am fairly close - YAY! They say the stage will be rotating and I will be able to see every nuance of those remarkable men of the 90's metal! /jump!

I spent all my excitement and a full cup of coffee this morning as I had finalized my decision to go - This, besides the NIN concert I attended when I was 16, is one of THE concerts I have wanted to see. :-)

Life is Good!

A surprise on my windshield

And no, it wasn't bird dooky. It was a parking ticket! Of all things, I got a parking ticket!

I do admit that I was wrong in parking there - but let me explain something first.

Our parking on campus stinks - I admit. We need some kind of garage - hopefully within this decade. But we have calendar parking and you park on one side of the street every other day. Well, during the summer the rules are usually relaxed (I thought... after 6 years of living on campus, I would know, wouldn't I?) and there were cars parked on Both sides of the street - which I have seen off and on on summer. So, I just picked one side to park on (not really sure what day it was anyway-odd or even) and went to go help teach a friend. Well, I come out only 2 hours later and the nice neon orange ticket is sitting on my windshield and MY car is the only one on that side of the street.

Figures

so... grumble grumble, parking, grumble grumble, cars... BAH!

The Village and some creepy monsters

As you can guess from the title, I went and saw The Village tonight with Alan and Deryk. Fun! That movie totally blew me away - made me wonder who the heck I was! I especially enjoyed the love story - why can't I find a guy like that? Who cares if he's a bit off. (Not talking about Noah! Talking about Lucius! heheh)

Which - on the fact of his name - good lord, all I could think of was Harry Potter throughout - "Malfoy" kept popping in my head! Ah well, couldn't possibly get those two mixed up - just through name.

tired though - got up early to help out a friend - teaching him the ins and outs of blogging. He seems to have the gift of chat with the long posts :)
