RL Update
So, I just moved into my first real apartment... islablack will be joining me when she gets back from England, but right now it's just me. With no internet. I wrote a little entry in word on my second night there. It is to follow.

So, here I am, sitting in my new apartment. It’s rather… interesting. I technically moved in yesterday, but by the time everything was here and in the place, it was nearly midnight. I stayed up and watched a little TV and made some hot cocoa. Sleeping was terrible. Kyle (the fiancé) had given me an air mattress (which was very nice of him) but it deflated in the middle of the night- so, at six in the morning, I woke on the cold hard floor. Luckily, the couch is really comfortable.
The apartment is in the basement of this ninety-year old woman’s house. She’s really really conservative… but she seems sweet. It’s a very small place but it has a lot of storage, which is good. Sometimes I can’t tell I am in a basement (it has a private entrance onto a cute little patio) but other times, it seems very obvious. I think the biggest problems I have are that I am missing Ashe and everything is still in boxes…
I had a wedding to go to on Lake Huron. It was a three-hour drive, so we didn’t really have time for any unpacking- we left at 10am (and I am not a morning person.) However, I saw a few friends that I haven’t seen in a very long time and the location was absolutely beautiful. I’m actually getting a little excited for my wedding again.
Now, it’s 12:34 and I am sitting on my couch with my blankets and Kyle’s laptop (which he lent me so I could get online, only- it couldn’t find any networks… that makes me very very sad.) And- for the second night in a row I am entertaining myself with BBC America. (This place comes with free satellite TV) Last night I watched Robin Hood, which was surprisingly good. I have to admit, I am not always a fan of British TV. The cinematography always seems a little strange to me.
Tonight- it’s a Hex Marathon. Not exactly sure what is going on yet. It’s different- I got that much. So far I think we have some ghost characters and a vampire character who is interested in a mortal. I’m thinking the Vampire might have killed one of the ghosts and the mortal is a friend of hers (the ghost) and… now they are having sex… Are you enjoying this run down?
I fully understand if you stopped reading by now… And you’re probably wondering why I am even writing. I guess, writing this to be posted later makes me feel some sort of connection to others. I’m sure I will be writing more of these.
OH! I have to share this- when Robin Hood was over last night, another show started coming on (Wild At Heart?) and it had a warning before it that absolutely cracked me up- “Warning, this show contains British Accents, to understand what in the world anyone is saying, please turn on closed captioning.” It proceeded to tell you how to turn on the CC. I thought it was the funniest warning I’d ever heard.
Ok, maybe he’s not a vampire- he’s walking around outside in the light. And I think these characters (not the vampire) are all in high school…
Oh! He’s not a vampire, he’s a fallen angel! And she’s a witch. And the other one, the ghost, is a ghost.
