Lovely Debacle

Updates again!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

-Thanksgiving was fun, yay! Good food, saw lots of family, ended the night snuggling with Chris watching Nightmare Before Christmas and eating pasta with plain sauce since neither of us thought to snag some leftovers for personal consumption.

-I am 99.9% sure that I got the internship for the summer!! (That’s what “So we’ll see you this summer!” means, right??) Nooo idea if it’s paid, which I doubt it is, but I am so grateful for the experience that it doesn’t even matter. It’s in book publictiy, but also in literary agentry and media coaching and such—all things I’m interested in! And it’s back home, which is good because I’ve been super worried about being able to stay in the publishing field in Western Mass where there’s virtually nothing. And I can see the place from my house. I can walk there. Haha.

-My brother is chillin in Boston with me for the weekend since I randomly had a Saturday off. So I’m a little freaked at the lack of Saturday Money, but we need to buy mom birthday presents anyway. I like my brother these days, we’re not at each other’s throats nearly as much as we used to be. I guess that’s what growing up does. I wish I had more money so I could actually do fun things with him here, like see a show or even a movie, but he seems pretty content just sitting on my couch reading comics.

-I AM GOING TO VEGAS! (don’t know if I already mentioned this but I am EXCITED!) Chris and I have decided to take a random trip for no reason in January. Five days, four nights, and the same week that both Regina and Siobhan are going to be there with their boyfriends. Whilst making plans we had no idea they’d be there the same week.

Sooo yeah, Does anyone have any tips for cheap-ish things to do in Vegas or just tips in general? I’ve never been (never been that far west in the country ever!) so any ideas/tips/suggestions greatly appreciated! We’re staying in the Excalibur.

I have liked exactly 666 posts on tumblr. This is amusing.

My old boss is trying to find a home for her two adorable, snuggly 3 year old kitties before she moves to hawaii. Anyone in Massachusetts want/need a furry companion?

This weekend, lovely.

This weekend was amazing. I had more fun than I’ve had in a long time. I got to spend a lot more time with Chris than I’ve been able to for a while (more than just one day, yay!), and with his amazing ability to make every little moment special it definitely was a wonderful time :)

First he picked me up in Worcester, the halfway point between here and home, at like midnight since I had to catch the last commuter rail after class. Then we went back to his place and made out like teenagers for what I’m guessing was two hours or more. I love that, I miss kissing a lot. I feel like kissing tends to fall to the wayside the older you get and the more “stuff” you do. Definitely made me happy.

The next day we got our favorite sushi at Zen (it’s fast becoming “our place” I think, much in the way that The Whatley Inn or Fresh Pasta or… The Picnic Store?… was a “place” of mine, lol), then hung out with my brother, then just relaxed at his place and I made him dinner. After that he left for band practice for a while and his friend’s girlfriend (whom I’m fast becoming friends with and I adore) came over to keep me company. After band practice, IMPROMPTU PARTY! Before we dated, though we hardly ever talked or conversed at all, Chris would have these fun last minute parties at his apartment. They were always great and I missed them when he stopped having them and then when I was essentially out of the group for a while. Lots of drunken shennanigans and fun times and people I haven’t seen in a while.

I spent most of Saturday recouperating from said party, haha. That night was the night I actually came back for—THE SHOW. Chris’s band was playing a show after nearly two years of not playing shows. It was awesome, they played both old and new songs. Chris looked right at me and smiled at various points of the show, and I felt special :) I’m dating a rock star apparently. It’s pretty great. Again, lots of people I haven’t seen in forever and lots of good times. Not quite as much drinking for us that night though.

After a breif debacle at a friend’s place (I think Chris gets the Best Friend of the Century award and I get an honorable mention) we went back to his place and cuddled and talked for hours. Amazing way to end an amazing night.

Now it’s a chilly Sunday night (Monday morning, UGH.) and I didn’t make enough at work and can’t focus on the paper I have due Tuesday. Need to lug my laptop to campus and get some work done tomorrow for sure. Possibly during my lunch break at my internship as well.

Because of Regina’s AMAZING performance last night, our house is stocked with chocolate covered strawberries, a variety of cheeses, fruit, and cookies. More reasons to love my roommate.
