| So, I just got back from Japan and this is my first chance to journal. That is actually a lie. I don't know what it is that has kept me from posting on this thing. I could say I have been busy, but judging by the fact I even play World of Warcraft, that would be a HUGE lie. Anyways, I am back. I know I am back in journaling because I promised Melissa I would post two or three times a week. I don't know about any of you, but since I haven't written one in 5 months or so, two-three times a week is kind of a lot of writing. Since last time, I have picked up World of Warcraft. The game was pretty fun by itself, but now I get a chance to play with Taylor, Derek, Kelleher, Dan S., and some new friends. Yes this seems way dorky, but for the time we play it makes me feel so at home that it is just amazing. All of us get on around the same time and play with headsets so we can talk back and forth. Just being able to hear all of my friends voices making fun of each other has really made the distance not so bad this semester. By the way, if you are wondering a I have a level 47 arcane/fire mage and a level 31 discipline specd priest. Oh, and I am horde FTW. I had to say all that just to prove that, if I wasn't already, I have been fully transformed into a geek. When I am not playing WoW, which is much more often than my last paragraph suggests, I am usually with Melissa. Things have been going really well lately. She came over last week to wake me up in the morning, and I don't know why, but it was just really cool to have her over there in the morning. She must really care for me to have to deal with the morning side of me. This semester has been awesome for us though. I feel a new energy about our relationship and can't wait to see her everyday. Last night she came over and watched the History Channel with me, so you know something has to be going right. I can't wait for Christmas though. I got her the coolest present ever and she hasn't a clue on even a possibility of what it could be. All she knows is that it comes in "variants." On that note, Christmas is merrily on its way. My roommates bought a real tree and we watched Christmas movies while decorating it last week. I didn't even know if I was going to take part in the decorating, but it was one of the best nights I have had in a long time. The tree is beautiful and it really just amps me to feel so homey(who knows how its spelled?) at the house that can, at times, look very plain and "guyish." Christmas is, hands down, my favorite season of the year. I don't know why I love it so much, but it is everything from the lights to the weather to the music to the giving. I just LOVE this time of year and if you asked anybody close they could confirm that. So, it is off to homework. One more week of school and it is time for me to take finals and get out of here. I have a game of spades in the que(Dad and Me vs. Angie and Jared) for when I come home. Oh how I love my family and Christmas. I have a feeling that the next few weeks are going to be some of the best of the year. But I will miss Melissa over the long break... |
