Surreality is my Actuality

Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future.

Things are strange. Not bad, kind of great, but strange.

I riding the wave of post-spring break surreality.

This past week has to have been one of the best weeks of my life. I mean, there was a little drama... there always is with me - but I spent so much of this week acutely aware of how happy I am here, in this life.

Here's the quickest overview I can manage:

* Went out last Saturday with all my current housemates for next year... met a boy.

* Went to the beach on Monday with almost all of my favorite people (Anna D, Tim, John, C-wid, Rocky, Lauren, and and had a wonderfully beautiful day. Went the furthest out I've been since I was 10. I heart the ocean... and my friends.

* Tuesday was St. Patrick's Day. Festivities started at 1 pm... 'nough said. (It was the crazy kind of fun)

* Laid out on Wednesday with C-wid, Jen, and Tim - got a decent tan. Played in a softball game as catcher... we lost 19-2 but went for beer after anyway. K. Roe came in town!

* Thursday went to some fantastic shows for bands I knew nothing about with the same favorite people (Amy, Tim, Lauren, K. Roe and Leah), then went to see Aric's band's first show. It was great until the police shut it down. Finally saw Lila and K. Roe and friends.

* Friday saw shows downtown, then went to Barton Springs with Anna D, Tim, Amy, John, C-wid and Jen and got an even better tan. :D Then went to a party friday night and also saw the boy (Nate) again before he left for London.

* Saturday saw shows all day including my FAVORITE band from Athens, Modern Skirts, with many favorite people (K. Roe, Lila, Lilaboy, Tim, Amy, Lauren, Clara, Leah, John). Then hung out with the band (friends!) and Amy bought a CD and got it signed by them all and the drummer said he normally wouldn't sign but since it was for friends... EEK! Finished the night chillin at Amy's watching old music videos of Weird Al and rap from like 6th grade with the favorites. (I didn't mention that in 6th grade I was listening to Spice Girls)

* Sunday finally got some sleep, went shopping with Lila and K. Roe, communed with Amy and K. Roe at the pizza parlour, and watched a fabulous episode of Supernatural. I am so stoked for this weekend!


It was wonderful. Now I'm back in the office and things are returning to normal and I find myself somewhat sad that I no longer have the pleasure of having my favorites all to myself... and all doing fun things. :( It was worth it though. Wonderfully worth it.

Here's a question, how do you give up something/someone when you know you have to move on, but you just don't want to and it doesn't hurt yet and there's no sign of the fact that it will be bad for you later, but you know it will be? I have no willpower when it comes to denying myself things/people I want.

LA in 4 days. Woo!
