Hey, kids. Just posting because I know some of you read my blog and not my LJ. My LJ just got crazily picture-ified...Check it out.
Fotografias!
Peopllleeeee! Leave me commmeeeeennnttsss! I'm a comment whore.
Just letting you know that three knew quotes have been added in Naughty Words. The infamous bead conversation, my favorite Pepe's worker, and one last night. CJ wanted to be on the page. I figure he deserves it, he's a funny guy.
If no one comments on the last entry, I will add all of you to my hit list of dooooommm. *
*Note: There is not actually a hit list of dooooommm.
Here's a brief update, just to prove to some of you that I'm still alive. Too much homework, too many papers, and two weeks until finals...But I'm alive. And I realized this morning that in the two and a half weeks until I go back to Lombard, I have EIGHT plays to see. EIGHT! That's obscene.
So I've been homeworking and hanging with CJ, and that's about the extent of things. To my other friends (Liz of course, Ash, the boys, etc), I haven't been consciously not hanging out with you, I've just been consciously hanging out with CJ and not thinking of the consequences. So I apologize, and I'm an awful person, and I'll try to be better, but if I do something stupid, just slap me.
And SPEAKING of CJ, this will be another CJ-full entry just so I can talk about how happy I am. Friday we went to see Eternal Sunshine and had dinner at Avanti's, and then I stayed at his place for the night because I was too tired to walk home...Or because I really wanted to stay the night with him. We had been talking at dinner about how I didn't get to go to Senior Prom, which is a tragic tale...So back at his room I left for a moment to go to the washroom, and when I came back, all of the lights were off and he turned on his disco light and "Fools Rush In" (the Elvis version, not that awful U2 version) and danced with me. And I adore that. Because really, only CJ.
And we watched some Twilight Zone and Dick VanDyke, and I got about three hours of sleep, and all was wonderful, and he walked me home across the VERY HOT AND CROWDED quad, and I pretended to do homework for a while. I was going to hang with the clan and Jeremy last night (again, I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to ditch you), but CJ called totally out of the blue and was like, "Hey, my parents are in town, want to come to dinner with us?"
BEGIN FREAKING OUT...NOW.
I was so totally terrified. But to make a long story short, everything went quite well. His parents are, of course, really nice and funny - I gathered they would have to be for him to be as nice and funny as he is. And they seem to like me a lot. His Dad said we should be engaged (hopefully kidding, but still, it's a good sign) and gave me a hug when he dropped us off. They asked me a lot of questions, told me a lot of stories about "Cor-Cor" as his mom called him *snickers*, and really it wasn't as terrifying as I had predicted. So life is good.
So I meant to go back to my dorm and hang with my friends for the next hour until Ted, but being an awful and inconsiderate person, I stayed with CJ because he asked me to help him make signs for his skit that night. So I did. It was fun. Not the actual making of the signs, because that took forever, but the skit was pretty good, and I enjoyed being his tripod. Pictures to follow.
Soooo...Now that I've exhausted my supply of happy CJ stories, I suppose I should be working on any one of the *counts*SEVENTEEN things on my to-do list that have to be done, like, now. Terrifying, really.
Oh, but I did want to share that when I go home I have an interview with Pier 1, which is cool. I've never had an interview and then not been hired, so I'm happy. And Archiver's also said that they're fine for now, but the woman was very happy to hear that I have summer availability, so that could be good too. For the next school year, I'm applying both at The Vidette and at Pip, either of which would be fine to work at during the day so I have nights free for rehearsals. So...Yeah. Bring on the dough. I need it.
Things that have made me happy recently:
~ CJ.
~ Sleeping a LOT last night.
~ The fact that my rose is still very much alive, and I got it nine days ago.
~ Seeing Steven Fegert and companion whose name I can't remember dance to Leann Rimes at 12:30 am on a Saturday in the informal lounge.
~ Stupid movies that make me happy, like "America's Sweethearts."
~ Clean jeans.
~ A 92% on my ed psych test!
~ Papa John's pizza, despite the fact that I now have about 23 cents in my wallet.
~ Jeff and Rueff lending me their DDR pad for the weekend, so I actually won't fail dances because ours is broken.
~ Speaking with/meeting CJ's best friend and mother within about five minutes of each other.
~ My soc. psych teacher only keeping us for 20 minutes.
~ My family coming home tomorrow to bring me presents, buy me stuff, and see "Roosters."
~ Seeing Jackie today, completely unexpectedly! I didn't know she was coming down for "Figaro!"
~ My room being mostly clean.
Can you tell I'm happy right now? I'm happy right now. And I still have some chocolate chip cookies left.
CJ has done perhaps the two most wonderful thing ever in the past, like, four days. (Yes, this blog is now retitled "Julie's in a Happy Relationship and Wants to Talk About It." Deal with it. *smiles*)
First of all, he bought me a rose for absolutely no reason the other night. I've never gotten flowers without asking for them, which is pathetic. I started tearing up. It was just really, really nice of him.
Secondly, last night, we're laying on my bed talking (TALKING, not BOWLING!) and out of nowhere, he says something along the lines of (and no, this is not a direct quote), "You know, you said last week that once I got to know you, I'd realize that I like you less. But every minute I spend with you, I like you more." And then he proceeds to list, like, four reasons why he likes me more now. *pinches self* Am I awake? Is this really my life?
A conversation in airport:
Me: I'm so incredibly happy. I'm just not used to being treated so well.
James: Well get used to it. He's such a great guy. And he's lucky to have found you, you're both amazing people. *pause* I'll be ordained pretty soon... *pause* Can I perform the wedding?
Me: *smacks James*
So the moral of this story is: I am so incredibly emotionally vulnerable right now that I'm not even behaving like a normal human. So if you want to con me into doing something for you, now is the time to ask.
Oh, and btw. It's come to my attention that while I put it in my LJ when I update my blog, I don't put it in my blog when I update my LJ. So for those of you that read the blog primarily and not the LJ, just assume that my LJ is usually updated every two or three days, but generally, it's pointless information.
I'm so incredibly happy.
