    Would you like some more sun? I can always send you some of mine. Already almost 90 degrees out, and it's only ten am. :D

    This is why I find it amazing that I plan to visit Arizona in the not-too-distant future. I despise over-80 degree weather with a passion unlike any other. 60 and 70 degree days with lots of cloud cover are when I thrive.

    On that note, today is in the 70s, and there's a storm a-comin'. I believe I shall go outside shortly. :D

    ^Haha my cousins live in Wyoming, and they hate coming down here to visit for that same reason. At least you're just coming to visit and not to stay, though! Have a good trip. :)

    Joel and I are probably going to be moving to Nevada sooner than we had anticipated (end of July). Turns out I'm a huge baby, and apparently so is Joel, because he wants me to move up there ASAP. Scary, but exciting. :D

    During my absence from the forums, a very good friend of mine passed away. She had a sudden anneurism that put her on life support, and she died less than twenty-four hours later.

    I have been wearing the necklace she sent me while she was in Prague almost every day, taking it off only to shower and sleep. Her husband, who I invited to my open house on Monday, came over yesterday with a card for me, and on the inside he had written that he knew she would be so proud of me, and that he wanted me to have something of hers to remember. He said he'd like for me to come over sometime soon to select a piece of her jewelry to keep.

    I teared up at her funeral, but I havent cried over her. And I have been able to adapt so that I dont let myself think about such sad happenings anymore. But I started to cry yesterday, not because I was sad, but because I was at peace, and I know he is too. I hugged him and thickly said, "Thank you." It was nice to be able to release after so many months, and it will be nice to have something of hers.

    Sorry for your loss. I know the feeling. When I was told my grandfather had died I didn't tear up for a while. It wasn't until I saw something that he had let me borrow that it really impacted.

    In fairness this lasted no more than a day. I can't imagine what it would feel like over several months.

    I've had a wonderful day in Brighton today, with Ashleigh :) Even her headache, and Sex and the City 2 being unbelievably awful (even factoring in that I'm hardly its target audience) couldn't ruin a sunny day of walking around the Laines, fish and chips on the beach, and forgetting I have an exam on Saturday :)

    Fish & Chips on the beach?
    Why didn't I think of that?

    That sounds about damn unbeatable.

    I am happy because the Holy Trinity got back together and had an AMAZING dance off in NYC, and CTV picked up Coco's show so Canada gets it. :D

    Looking up

    I'm happy because everything in my life seems to be going in the right direction. Too much and too amorphous, I guess, to detail... As one example, I'm doing much better in summer school than I expected to, and I've found it much easier to make friends,as a new student.

    Oh, thank you. :) When I heard that she was on life-support, I just hugged my dog and went for a long, long run before allowing myself to think about it again. I dealt with it in my way, which is to grieve internally, but keep moving on the outside.

    Everyone needs a good cry though, and it felt good to finally express that. :redface:

    On Wednesday I got to see QI being filmed as a birthday present and one of the guests was famed Irish comic, Dara O'Briain. Meaning that I've seen him twice in one month. :D

    I started typing out a response to this and then decided it might not be PG enough and changed my mind...

    Fun! Enjoy yourself, Xe. :)

    ^^That made me laugh. :D

    I am happy because I went shopping with my dad earlier which is always intresting; as usual, he ended up buying stuff that wasn't on the list and got annoyed at someone. Plus, I just had a yummy BBQ (which is what we went shopping for). :)

    I'm happy because I've been talking with Nonnie, who's ****ing amazing and cooler than at least 3 David Carradines.

    And she told me I can say, "Step back gents, that girl's with me."

    So you best start steppin', foo.
