As of today, Adam and I have been together for two years. I love him very much and am very happy. I am incredibly thankful for him and our relationship. He is an amazing person. I have grown so much and Adam has helped and guided me when I needed him to. Thank you honey. |

I've been at USC for almost a month now. I like it. It's pretty crazy moving across the country. But I'm glad I'm here. I haven't made a lot of friends, but I'm working on it.
My apartment is very small, and old, and thus, not in great shape. My room is small but cute. My roommates are nice. Victoria's two cats are living with us, and they are very sweet. I spend most of my free time at Adam's, though. His place is really nice - a house with a lot of room and privacy, West of campus. He's living with Alex again, who I've always loved, and two other cool kids. We hang with Alex a good bit, and Kat and her boyfriend. Adam is going back to Maryland this weekend so I'm going to go on adventures with Katattack.
My classes are alright. Econ is awful - my professor doesn't teach and thus I don't care. Sociology seems like it's going to be pretty simple, but and somewhat interesting. Anthropology is pretty dull but I'm hoping to get a good grade. Public policy is kinda boring, kinda interesting but I hope to do well.
I miss everyone. I think mom and brant are coming to visit next month. I wish I could go home for Cassi and David's wedding. I'm not going to see Hannah til next summer and that makes me sad.
There's a lot to do in LA, but its difficult without a car. Adam should have his soon though. The first home game was last Saturday - vs Ohio State. It was fucking intense. I can't believe I'm paying attention to football. But I do go to the school with the #1 football team in the country so it's kinda required.
I hope everyone is doing well. |

Four days until LA. Intense. People are coming over tomorrow for a going away thing. I'm going to miss my family. It's kind of hitting me, because my dad's in really bad shape. Yeah, I don't even know at this point. I'm so excited though. I hope I make a lot of friends. I hope my roommates are cool. Things are going to be very very different. |

Less than two weeks now. Most of my things are packed and will be shipped in a few days. Then my room will be bare for a week. I am going to miss my dogs so much. I'm very eager to get to LA, but not that pumped about classes. I'm going to have at least one class that I hate, but whatever. I'm trying to switch my science class because its going to blow reading about "the Water Planet" for four months and having a lab at eight AM on friday mornings. No thanks. But everything else is fullllll. I figured out my credits and if I take six units during one or two summers at GSU or Perimeter I can graduate a semester early and save some money. Or I could try and get into this accelerated Masters program the SPPD department has. USC is really fucking expensive. Im guessing that tuition is going to run me about 100 grand to finish out my degree. Yep. A hundred thousand dollars. Thats not even rent or food or books included. just tuition. but this is what I want, and I'll be okay if I have to take out some loans. For some reason I'm nervous that something isn't going to work out with my apartment - like I'm going to show up and they're going to be like "oh, you can't live here." But that's not going to happen. Nope. Everything is going to be great. I'm going to fly in on the morning of the 21st, Daddy and I are going to go to the apartment, check it out, and go to Ikea to get furniture. I'm going to unpack my shit and see Adam and his place. We'll go to dinner with daddy and my parents. We'll go to target and Ralph's and Trader Joes if I'm really lucky. I will (hopefully - I'm technically not supposed to) put up my posters and make everything pretty. Daddy will go home and I'll go to the Welcome Back fest and see Hellogoodbye. I'll start classes and they'll be cool. There will be the long weekend and football and Halloween and vegan restraunts and Whole Foods and Venice and wonderous things. exciting. |

My dog has a tumor and is probably going to have to be put down. I'm pretty upset, but Daddy is really torn up about it, and I feel awful for him. Poor bo. |

Oh man I'm going to be done with school so soon. I have a 5-10 page paper to write in the next few days, and like 10 sixties journals to do in the next week. And then exams! Agggh.
Also, I got into Colorado. Greaaaaaat. Now my dad wants me to go there. It's a really nice school and campus but I can't deal with the fucking cold. And I want to be in Calllllllllli.
I'm home and am doing cleaning overhaul. I can't deal with dust and clutter for four months. This summer is going to be odd. I'm trying to arrange getting my wisdom teeth out and going to look at schools the first half of my, then Adam will be here for a while, and then I'll start working, all while trying to decide about school stuff. I think I'm going to go back to Intermezzo. It's a little dramatic and customers can be a pain in the ass, but I do love the people there, and the money isn't bad. And I'll visit Ellicott City at some point. It will be lovely.
Oh, Hannah's home for spring break. I haven't seen her yet because she just got in and is doing passover stuff, but I can't wait to see her. I love her sososo much. |

Craziness. I just woke up from an extended nap which means probably little sleep tonight follow by an intense tomorrow.
Astronomy, possibly astronomy study group, meeting with group member to do global issues project, grocery store, gym if I can still stand, NAP, babysit tui, clean, pick up adam from airport at 5 am! woohoo.
And then next week is insane as well. Actually the rest of the semester is.
Monday Adam leaves. Wednesday I have huge astronomy test I need to do well on. Thursday have annotated biblography due and a semester's worth of journals for global issues due. craziness.
the semester is almost done. only a month. i can't wait to know about next fall. yays. |

Hello. Today I watched homestar runner for the first time in many years and giggled. They have trogdor clothes for babies. happy times. I watched Tui on sunday and she fills my heart with happiness. I finished all three seasons of LOST in time for the season premire and now i'm in withdrawal. balls. Matt and I watch documentaries. I cook a lot. Doing well in school. I am writing an english paper about the connection between diets containing meat and impotency. lolz. We watch old videos in my 60s class about Berkeley and I want want want the movements, the protests. I voted in my first election. For Obama. Yay. We need change. Trying to transfer. Trying. Trying. Well? I think so. I'm craving spaghetti even though I had it two nights ago and there are vegetables and chilli in the fridge. Bananas and peaches and mangoes. itouch and animal crossing. dresses and stockings and flats and wanting heels. loving rain but not walking through it. Skewed posters and cereal out of the box. Quiet music and no tv. Project Runway and Tegan and Sara. Lots and lots of sleep and cleaning.
In about 26 hours I will be going to pick Adam up from the airport. Happy. |

Life is interesting. I feel pretty good during the day. Hannah is at Brandeis. I have been hanging out with Matt frequently now that he's living in my building. I have two seasons of LOST to get through before the season premire at the end of the month. Classes are good for the most part. I spent the weekend in Colorado, where I almost died slipping on ice and then went to Casa Bonita. Three day weekend is going to be fantastic. I want to go to afterlife. Hanging with Andrew sometime this week? Appyling to college again. USC please. |

I just had the longest, most complex and ridiculous dream of my life and I feel the need to write it down. You should really read this because it's ridiculous.
There were two things going on at once and my brain kept flashing back and forth between the two. First, Adam and I were in some kind of museum/indoor amusement park thing based on monsters. It was really terrifying and you had to like figure out how to beat the monsters to leave, but somehow we were the only ones who had to do this. There was this tree monster thing that reminded me of this one thing in Rayman Raving Rabbits. Adam got like put in this giant chair thing that he couldn't get out of and I was running around screaming trying to get him out of it. That part was scary but not nearly as scary as the other part.
The other part was we were supposed to be at Adam's house, only it wasn't Adam's house, it looked like a cross between Jackson's house and my dad's house. Adam's parents and my mom and dad were there. People were talking about the next door neighbor how aparently was a weirdo and threatening. I was worried that he was going to try to come in the house and half-joking as people were upstairs getting ready for bed I stared through the glass front door and realized after a moment there was another face staring back at me. I freaked out and my dad came over and told me he would handle it. I went and hid on the stairs while my dad opened the door and the thing, which was the neighbor/a monster, ran into the house and started running towards the stairs. I ran up the stairs screaming for everyone to lock their doors. For some reason adam's parents and my mom were in one room and I ran in there and the thing followed me. My dad came from behind in and pushed it down onto the ground. A bag fell out of the things hands and I grabbed it and pulled out a thing of pepper spray. Then my dad held him down while I sprayed him with pepper spray for three hours. Then my mind blanked and the thing disappeared, and suddenly I was with Adam and his dad driving looking for a place to eat. Adam's mom, uncle, and my mom were supposed to meet us, yet we didn't know where we were going. We ended up at this restaruant called Shannon's. Then just Adam and I left and went back to his parents' house. It was dark and thundering and there were lots of steps going to the front of the house so it took Adam a while to get up them. A group of intelligent zombie/monster things followed us and trapped us on this heated indoor terrace thing. They were on the outside while there was this cat/human zombie thing which appeared to be melted inside the house. We were fighting them off and just stalling when some dude who seemed to nto be a zombie and be on our side told us that the heater was about to explode and we had to turn it off. And the zombies were like "oooh we're going to get you now!" and I was scared and had adam get my coat.
Then my mind flashed again and me, adam, some girl, and a group of guys landed (yes landed) in a hotel complex. There was a room with a door open and inside there was lots of drugs, money, video games, and candy. We went inside and the guys started playing video games. I had a glitter lollypop. And outside there was this asian girl asking about the noise. I told her not to worry about it. Later I looked outside and she was there with a gang of hookers or strippers all clad in red lingerie. Then the one girl who was with us told me and Adam that it was vital that she get on the MARTA train, which was apparently next door. And it was like midnight so we had to catch the last one. So we took her to MARTA and adam and I took a different path than she did and got there before her and tried to get her on the train but she didn't come in time. Then I woke up with a massive headache. |
