I like where we are, when we drive in your car -- Here (In Your Arms), Hellogoodbye

Oh blog-readers, I am fixin to turn my poor world on its ear...again!  You see, my niece is in an abusive home situation....but I will be moved into the New House with Tiffany by mid-October.  We have discussed it and prayed about it and feel like we should invite her to come live with us.  This move is guaranteed to make my entire family hate my guts.  Awesome.  The major issue is that I would need my sister's permission for her daughter to live with us.  I have been up to my eyeballs in Texas state law, and while at 17 you can have all the sex you want or be tried as an adult, you cannot legally move out without parental consent, or being emancipated.  It would be difficult, but...I'm sick to death of watching someone I love suffer.  I'm going to try, even if nothing comes of it, I at least got up off my ass!

Lord know I can't live without some sort of random drama, it seems. ::eyeroll::  Life has been too good lately!  Obviously I need more stress. Heh.  Seriously though, life has been wonderful.  I'm still jobless, and I have random boydrama, but I've been happy!  And that's 3/4 of the battle right there :)

Tomorrow I'm all set to make punkin pie and cinnamon buns.

...I just broke my comptuer chair armrest.  Sad day. ::mourns armrest::

I went to the fair the other day! :)  I love funnel cake and caramel apples and getting slung around at high velocity! ::beams::  I'm goin to the store to buy some gala apples and sticks and I'm making my OWN caramel apples and they will be delicious and yummy. (I hope!)

Wish me luck in my crazy family endeavor, mes amis. :)

It's Like Taking a Guess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
and based on your body language,
and shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is -- Jason Mraz, "A Beautiful Mess"

I'm having a thought here.  In reading for my American culture class, I stumbled across a random footnote suggesting that our society's love of machines and technology is somewhat analogous to our ancestor's relationship to Nature/Fate/the Gods.  I have long acknowledged that America more-or-less worships technology, but the parallel is interesting.  Is my computer also my Mercury?

In Fact, It Makes Me Nervous

Hello, tell me you know, yeah, you've figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment to see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now  -- Jason Mraz

Boy this weekend was EVENTFUL!

Life Goal No. 1072 ACCOMPLISHED.

So on Saturday, after going apartment hunting, Laura and I go swing dancing with her friend John.  We drive all the way to Carrollton to go dancing, and I am super excited cause it's been soooo long since I have been dancing!  We get there and I discover that it's west coast swing (I only know east coast!) and we JUST walked in the door and the instructor says to me "east coast?". ::sigh::  I manage to do pretty awfully during the lesson portion, but after we started dancing for real, I caught on much more quickly.  It helped that John would dance with Laura and I...at first pretty equally, but then with me more and more frequently.  I am SO DENSE that I didn't get that he liked me until at the end of a song he dipped me and kissed me.  (Laurie = male interest awareness FAIL).  At the end of the night (and sneaking kisses to various body parts when he thought Laura wasn't looking) he asked me out on a date for the next day.

So I accepted.

And then promptly started freaking out over what to wear. ^^;

I didn't have my necessary date accessories!  But eventually it was all sorted out, and we went to dinner and a movie on Sunday night.  I was supposed to come home Sunday afternoon, but I had to explain to my mom that I wouldn't be coming since I had a date.  Gah.  My mother is so EMBARRASSING.

I had a good time; John is a great guy and I wouldn't mind going out with him again, but I really have no intention of starting a real relationship with him.  It would be epically retarded to start a long-distance relationship with somebody I've known for like 48 hours.

It has come to my attention that sometimes my logic is rather like a man's.  This might be yet another reason why I tend to get along better with guys than with girls...?

UNT is so retarded.  That is all on that front.

I am SO EXCITED for Elizabeth's birthday!!  I get to see everyone, and it's her bday, and we're going to do fun things!  And dance to derogatory songs about women!  I'll even wear my miniskirt! ;)

Mmmmmhn...I'll prolly fess up tomorrow.  Tomorrow's good.  Yeeeeah.
