I LOVE… that Robert is officially a high school graduate.

I LOVE… that he graduated from the high school I went to, the one that both my parents went to.
I LOVE… my old high school.  I don’t care how it gets made fun of.  I had so much fun and I learned so much that I’ll always love it there.

I LOVE… how good and patient Robert is with John.
I LOVE… that John fell asleep last night holding my hand.
I LOVE… that Walter called me first thing this morning and that he’s going to call me randomly while I’m at work.  *swoon*
I LOVE… playing WoW with Sarah at night.  Blood elf paladins rock.
I LOVE… that I have such bizarre dreams that I think about them throughout the day.
I LOVE… that CooCoo got to take Paula to see NKOTB last night for her birthday.

Someday when I am grown up and I have my own house I am going to buy a refrigerator sized freezer, and in it I will keep a titanic supply of Rocky Road ice cream and Nutty Buddies.  And they will all be for me.

I could really go for a Nutty Buddy right now.  Ice cream for breakfast is my favorite.

(After chocolate milk, of course.  And cereal.)

Why hasn’t there been a new Superman movie out yet?  I thought Brandon Routh signed a three movie deal.  I want more Superman movies.

I woke up today in a quiet, introspective kind of mood.  I feel like I want to keep to myself, have little contact with other people, and spend all my time thinking about the things that make me feel good.  I look forward to going to work, but only to sit in MY cubicle, MY space, with MY things, and be quiet and content with my thoughts.

I miss Walter. That’s the thought that’s dominating my day brain today, taking up most of the space in my conscious (and probably subconscious) mind.

I’m not allowed to be friends with someone anymore that’s been my friend for 11 years.  I understand why, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less.  Not that that friend would ever read my blog, but I want him to know that even though we’re not allowed to interact I will always be here for him if he needs anything.  His family is always going to be my family.  We may not talk for 20 years, but if 20 years from now he needs anything, I hope he knows he can call on me and I’ll do whatever is in my power to be there for him.  I understand, but I don’t like it.

I started drawing something two weekends ago, and I haven’t touched it since.  I’m lost as to what to do with it anymore.  I wanted it to be a full page drawing.  Maybe I’ll work on it some more next weekend.  Maybe.

The weekend was pretty OK.  My birthday wasn’t the best ever but that’s alright.  They can’t ALL be fabulous all the time, right?  I spent all of Saturday and most of Sunday being lazy.  Did 4 loads of laundry, watched Castle and Lie To Me, and went to the movies alone.  Talked to Walter twice on Saturday.  Went to dinner at 7 Moons (finally) with Erik and Mike, and I brought home a ton of leftovers.

Speaking of which, I hope I don’t forget to bring the leftovers to work with me today.  I have Mike’s in the fridge, and he’ll need that.

Mike and I have been talking about going to 7 Moons for two years now.  o.0  Hooray for finally going!

364 days until my birthday.

Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past is a crappy movie.  Don’t see it in theaters.  I wouldn’t even suggest you see it when it comes out on DVD, it really was that lame.  It’s probably the worst movie I’ve seen since I saw Good Luck Chuck, which was a bad movie.

Christina and I are going to the mall next weekend.  I need to do some heavy duty book shopping.  I’ll probably start reading the Harry Potter books next week and I’m sure I’ll breeze right through them.

Once I get my TV fixed I think I’m going to sign up for Netflix.  Maybe.  It’s a thought.

I miss Walter. I think I’m going to spend some money and go see him again for three days before he leaves for Iraq in June.  They’re sending him home for 4 or 5 days before he ships out.  If I thought 8 days was not enough last month then 3 days is definitely not going to be enough this time, but I think of it this way: I’ll take what I can get to hold me over until he comes home.  I’m still thinking about it though.  Leaving last time was really hard.

I’m giving my NKOTB tickets to CooCoo.  I can’t go anymore.  My little brother’s graduation is the same night, and while I love my New Kids On The Block (wicked hard) I really can’t miss Robert’s graduation.  Family comes first.  In 13 days he’ll be 18 years old.  A month from today he’s going to be graduating high school.  And this fall he’s going to start going to college.  He may be like 5′10” or something ridiculous like that, but he’ll always be my baby brother.

I don’t feel hungry at all.  Is that a bad thing?  I haven’t eaten in 14 hours, shouldn’t I be even a little bit hungry by now?  I’m going to eat when I get to work whether I’m hungry or not, because that’s what I do.  I eat to pass the time.  And to fend off boredom.

Today is definitely going to be a Write In My Journal day.

I’m going with Twilight as my next series to read.

I’m not apprehensive about reading it.  I don’t fear that I’ll be sucked into a vortex of preteen vampire dream obsession.  I simply want to read it.  End of story.

And no, I haven’t seen the movie.

In other news!  Today Lemmonex blogged about how to devein your own shrimp.  Not only that, but she did it NKOTB style (you know, Step One: we can have lots of fun, etc).  You should all know how much I love the New Kids.  I got in the shower singing Step By Step, and you know what?  I danced.  That’s right, I dance to the New Kids On the Block.  So what?  It’s like the only thing I dance to.

Now, I type that and I’m singing “my girlfriends a dick magnet/my girlfriends gotta have it” because Theory of a Deadman just popped up on my iTunes.  I obviously listen to a wide variety of music, but when it comes down to making a choice I’d choose music I grew up with over anything else.

I’m a New Kids on the Block fangirl.  I have been since I was five years old.  Once a fangirl, always a fangirl.  Whenever I hear Step By Step it takes be back to being a 6 year old girl, crazy in 6 year old love with Joey McIntyre.  When I hear I’ll Be Loving You Forever I imagine dancing at my wedding someday (because if I ever get married that WILL be my wedding song!).  And I’m totally at Mohegan with Crystal standing in the stands as they run out on stage singing Cover Girl and then Single last September, having the most fun I’ve ever had in my life.

I. Love. New Kids On the Block.

I don’t care how lame and nerdy that makes me.  My parents still listen to the Everly Brothers, Neil Sedaka, the Beach Boys and Sam Cooke.  My grandmother still loves Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller and Frank Sinatra.  It’s pretty natural to listen to the music you loved in your youth, as much as people my age will deny it.  Hanson?  They say Ew.  I say Heck yes!  Wilson Philiips?  Most people will laugh.  You don’t gotta ask me twice!  Old school skanky Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Guns ‘N Roses, Bryan Adams and Whitney Houston?  Please, just look at my iTunes.  You’ll find Abba, Weird Al, Bonnie Tyler, Metallica, Phil Collins, REO Speedwagon, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Joey Lawrence and Duran Duran mixed in with Ace Of Base, New Kids On the Block, Toby Keith, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash and music from Phantom Of the Opera.  I listen to EVERYTHING.  I’m not ashamed of my music library.

I want to thank everyone for their support on last Thursday’s blog.  I really appreciate it.  This weekend has been wicked hard for me.  Sean is miserable at AIT, I miss him so much, and I moved out of my grandmother’s house over the weekend and in with my sister Sarah.  It’s great living with her and my nephew.  I take showers that stay hot for more than two minutes.  Everyone knows how to undress themselves.  I’m in good company there.  Right now I don’t have the internet set up on my home computer but I’m not that worried about it just yet.  I will be soon though, I’ll start to go through FlyFF and CoD4 withdrawals and then I’ll worry.

Maybe I’ll get a laptop.  We’ll see how that goes.  I’ve been wanting one for a while now but I can’t afford one.  If I can get some overtime at work I’ll totally get one.  I’m at work early right now, but an hour and a half of overtime isn’t going to buy me a laptop.  I’m not going to be able to afford to go on the NKOTB cruise, but with everything that’s been going ok I’m ok with that.  I’ll probably be disappointed later on in the year, as the cruise dates draw closer, but for now my energy and focus are on other things.  More attainable things.  Things a lot closer to my heart.

In other news I watched Wishbone yesterday at my dad’s house.  I can’t believe that show still runs on PBS.  I used to love it, and it wasn’t disappointing to watch after so many years like a lot of older TV shows are when you out grow them.

I don’t have much else to say right now I guess.  I need to buy stamps later.  And envelopes.  This is shaping up to be a long four months.  I miss my boyfriend so much.
