and so it goes...

from apr. 23rd...continued into apr. 26

Hello, everybody! Okay, really....spring has sprung and that's fantastical (never mind that stupid 30 degree day shoved in there)! Warm weather (well, at least not freakin cold weather) is maaaaah-velous.

What I've been up to:

Went home for Easter, it was a hoot! I love North Dakota!! Um....yeah....I got to see some friends, too, which is always a good time.

Saw "Thank You for Smoking"...it's funny, go see it! Played a bitchin game of DDR with my roomie, Jill.

Work, work work.

I've started writing letters again...it's fun, but I seem to not have enough time for it. Actually, I've realized there's never enough time to do everything you want to do. And that's not fair. Boo to the man! And here I apologize to all of my friends whom I have neglected and/or otherwise completely ignored for the past couple of weeks. Really, sometimes I suck. I try to be a wonderful, fantastical friend, but I fail. Woe is me. So I'll work on that.

Went to see George Winston, pianist, harmonica-ist (???), and guitarist at the Pabst Theater with Dr. Barb and her fam...he's amaaaazing! I like pianos. :) And I highly recommend him...I think it'd be good study music.

My dad got attacked by a goose. You can laugh, it's okay (not gonna lie, I laughed, too!!), but the goose also caused him to be thrown from his beloved Harley (status of the bike: still unknown) and smooshed into the ground. They thought he had a broken jaw and broken ribs among oodles of internal injuries, so they helicoptered him to Fargo, but luckily, miraculously he came out with some mondo bruises and scrapes, some cracked ribs, and lots of pain. But he's okay. Sigh of relief. I don't even wanna think...too scary. So, shoot some prayers over to my mums and papa if you have the chance. Oh, and the cats, too; I hear they're really distressed by this whole situation.

I was running in the dark and I fell over again. Did I already post this somewhere? I have a feeling....or maybe I just like telling people that I fell over to relive and pain and embarassment. That HAS to be it.

I went kite-flying down by Lake Michigan last Sunday...great fun. Really damn windy, so it all worked out. I was walking there with one of my roomates (after a lovely ride from the public transportation people, of course) and we were kind of off in our la-la land, taking up the majority of the sidewalk (I was well aware, thank you!!). Usually when people want to pass by you, though, they say "excuse me" or "passing on the left"...but no..this particular jackass of a guy rides by on his bike, practically hits me, and then BARKS at me...he BARKED AT ME!! Right in my ear. Really, wtf?

Never a moment of excitement lost for this gal.

That's all I can remember right now. Today was a long, tiring day. My brain is mush. To bed I go, tra-lee, tra-laa. Like I said...brain...mush. Meh.
