An update! OMG!
First things first.
If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?
(Now post this in your LJ and find out what mine would be.)
And now, the actual entry part.
And behind a..!
I had fun tonight, and it didn't involve the slightest bit of alcohol.
Went over to Lawrence's family's house again. Only, this time it was a planned gathering from Brenda. Molly didn't go though, so we didn't get to have fun with the eye toy or DDR. Brenda's actually wanting to do that. :p Should be interesting if we can get that to happen next week maybe. I wish I could go out and drive more, though. 'cause now I get these sudden urges to just pester the Hell out of Charles while he's at work, since I know that he gets pretty lonely without Lawrence always being around (and always having me there with Lawrence, 'cause, face it, when Lawrence was here, I was stuck to him like glue.) But yeah. No money, no job just yet (I still haven't heard back from GE yet, and neither has Molly, so we're both just kinda like.. yeah.), and stuff.
I seriously hate asking my parents for money. Though if I had gone through with my plan of working at the restaurant again, I'd be asking for money from them anyway. Though it'd be hard earned cash. Maybe I can get a waitressing job there. Get lots of tips. Heh, a job with my parents is better than nothing, truthfully. Though then, that'd mean that I'd have to wear what my mom wears.. black pants, white button up shirt. I don't know why, but button up shirts bother me. But yeah. I know the hours there, and if I were waitressing, I'd probably get paid.. -well enough-. But I want to wait until this week is over, just in case I actually hear back from GE. I DID tell them that I'd be free for an interview this week. ...unless they called me that Valentine's Day at noon. I heard the phone, but I was still more than half asleep, so I just ignored it. It only rang four times, too, so... it could have been them. Or just some random, evil, annoying little telemarketer. But yeah, if things don't go the way I hope, I'll be asking my mom for a job at the restaurant. Preferably the second shift. Y'know, dinner. I'm not exactly my nicest in the mornings, so yeah. Lunch is out, but dinner'll do just nicely.
But back to tonight! I seriously, seriously, seriously love Lawrence's family. It's just totally awesome there. Charles was actually there, too. Heh. Brenda, Alicia and Kayla had set up this folding table in the middle of the living room, and had piled tons of snack foods on it. Pizza rolls, chips, even fruits and stuff. It was awesome. So we just sat there, watching movies (Ransom, and You Got Served), talking, and playing with the cats. Bandit, Brenda's little black and white kitten, towards the end of the night, took notice of my hair.. and just took after it and attacked it like mad. It was so cute, she actually got herself all tangled up in it.
You know, I seriously cannot believe the stuff that I get when I go there. Besides the random offerings of food and drinks and stuff, but this Valentine's I've gotten from them a ring (from Alicia), and a necklace with an.. I -think-, an opal pendant (from Brenda). The ring is so cute, it's got two amethyst stones set between three little pearls on a silver band. It's weird, though. Unless Lawrence has been telling them everything that I like (which he doesn't even know the half of yet), they've been pretty much guessing what I like, and hitting it dead on. The amethyst, and the opal. ^^ Moonstone is still my absolute favorite, but they're pretty hard to come by if you want a good quality type of moonstone. Second would come opal, and third would have to be sapphires. Red or blue. *Nods to self*
But yeah, happiness! I know where Lawrence is now (Camp Freedom, which is in.. Mosul, I think it was?), and I can send him my little exchange journal. He's been keeping in touch with his family, so I know for a fact that he's okay. 'cause they always keep me updated when I go over there. ^^ I hope that now he's settle, he'll be able to call me like he said that he would. Brenda actually told me that he was seriously considering coming home on leave in June. He -was- dead set on not taking any leave time, because of the fact that people that do that, go home on leave like that, aren't nearly as protected and stuffs. She thinks he's homesick. I think he might be, too. Unless he's coming home for those few weeks in June for the reasons I think he is.. our birthdays are only a week apart. If that much. Mine's the 22nd, his is.. well, I still can't remember when his is. ^^; I still want to say the 26th, but I keep thinking that maybe it's the 28th.. or 29th. I know it's not beyond that, though. And I know it's not earlier than the 26th. And I KNOW it couldn't be the 27th. So it's either 26, 28, or 29. But yeah, our birthdays are pretty close together. As much as I want to see him, I know it'd be best if he just waited until he got to leave Iraq, and take more time off to spend home with us. Which would be in a year. I quite frankly don't know if I could stand having him that far away for such a long time.. but like he said, I endured those four years when he first left after high school. Not to mention the four years after he left in the fourth grade. Heh, yeah. He's left me a lot throughout our lives, but each time, he always came home. It's kind of like what Molly said. "You two keep finding each other again and again."
I keep telling myself that I won't babble on and on about him, but I can't help it. :p I do this a lot to Molly and anyone else that listens to me, too, so don't feel like you're suffering by yourself. It's probably one of the reasons why I love hanging out over at his family's home. They talk about him almost as much as I do. And we can talk about him and his antics. ^^ And how onery he is, and how mean he is. 'specially to me. And rude. ...and there I go again. Okay, I'm just going to stop right here and end this with a, "I had a good night tonight."
<3!
