Yay school, Yay Eric, and lots of rambling about me being bad and flirting and drinking

Well I had a LOT go on yesterday!!! It was like three days packed into one!

First I had a full day of academic success. I felt very confident about my organic chemistry test. Even though I was almost late, I managed to relax and when I looked at the test, only 3 problems looked at all problematic. I breezed right through it. Then I went to see Dr. Blackledge about his new research. He had me prepare slides for spooling the black widow silk for about 2 hours and then I did my normal husbandry stuff. Nothing too extravagant but turns out that starting monday I get to help with data collection! I get to do research. Woohoo!

The second portion was a lovely lunch and movie with Eric. We got mexican for lunch and they gave me enough food to feed three people!!! Guess I can't complain though, it made a very yummy lunch for today. Then we saw The Libertine. It was a great movie. Very real, human, cynical, honest... It just sucked me in! I both loved and hated Johny Depp's character. Both swooned for him and cried for him. I need to see it again, very soon. Then to Bakers Square for luscious brownie delights. I had a great time just like I always do when I'm with Eric. Due to no decision as to what to do further and general sleepiness we decided to part ways and go home.

Well, the plan from there was to go to sleep because I was exhausted but of course that's not what happened...

I got an im from my other friend Eric (Balin). He was in town on leave from the military and he and a couple of our friends were going to see my dads band play in Cuyahoga Falls at the Cashmere Cricket. They offered to come pick me up and all around twisted my arm. I never get to see these guys and they really are a bunch of fun. All in all, I'm glad I went. We listened to my dad rock out for a little over an hour. Then we went to a bar near campus called the Sun. I feel like such a bad girl thinking about it but I snuck in! It's a 21 and over only bar and they convinced me that I would be able to talk my way in. I had wonderful plans of flirting with the door man and when I walked in it proved to be as simple as a smile and he says "Weren't you just in here?" *wink* Yes! I was! And in walks 20 year old me. I guess it pays to have great cleavage now and then. So we played pool and air hockey and had some drinks. It was a blast! This bar had a great atmosphere. Everyone was talking and joking with everyone else and, I'm very happy to remember as I examine the hickey on my breast, a very hot girl with her eyebrow pierced who also adored my cleavage! *smirk* But alas, the jealous Russ cock blocked me for lack of a better term. I am very bitter about this as I rarely get a chance to hit on girls because I am never sure how to tell if they are interested or not and I couldn't dream of offending anyone. Oh well... I mourn the loss of the cute spunky chick. So then we went back to Russ and Dave's house for a bonfire and by this point I was exhausted and a little tired of my friend's intense advances. Russ alternated between pledging his devotion to me and being a complete asshole. He wants to break up with his girlfriend for me?! He's 29! I dont know what to do with these boys in my life. Other then Dave... I know what to do with him... I will have him rub my back forever and ever. The man has magic hands. Best back rubs EVER. And I have had some damn good backrubs... Those hands... mmmmmm So I am feeling nice and relaxed this evening.

It was a hectic, adrenaline filled, confidence boosting, slightly frustrating, highly confusing all around fun time! Perhaps I should hang out with these guys more often... ((or at least go get backrubs))

And then I went to work sleepy and drained and managed to have an awesome day. Have I mentioned that I love my life??

Huggles!!!

Freedom

Today I reignited a flame within myself that had lay dormant all winter. I reminded myself of how much I love to drive. It is such a feeling of control, ultimate freedom and independence to dictate for myself where to go. To travel such long distances purely by the whim of my appendages. And surprisingly, I have lost every shred of that gut wrenching anxiety that used to turn my stomach. It has been replaced with a giddy awe, tempered with healthy respect for the large object I am hurdling through space. Sitting behind that wheel feeling the vibrations of the engine in every inch of my body, knowing that I am in charge. Every successfully manuevered trun so beautifully executed makes me smile and I sing to the world at the top of my lungs to show how much I love the thrill of the open road.

Now I just need to get my liscence...
*wince*

Critical Failure

My wrist has adopted a terrible new attitude towards me. I ask it ever so nicely to hold the sword strongly and stab my friend. Is that so hard? But noooo, it refuses to move! Seriously though, I am a little worried about it. I have never before simply been unable to make a part of my body move. It is not like it is even an issue of working through the pain, it just flat out refuses. And it is making this weird little grinding noise... Sigh, looks like I am going to have to get a wrist brace and start fighting left handed. Damn you Edgethrop for shield bashing my damn shield and twisting my sword hand flat to my wrist backwards. Sigh.

Beautiful Torment
I adore the sound of my female fighters group. Now I just have to decided which direction to take with it.

Huggles from the chick with the stick!
