Welcome 2007, and my official halfway point through college. Three and a half years down, three and a half to go. I'm not nervous to start the new semester, just really irritated that my life will go back to sucking for another sixteen weeks. *angry black cloud of emo-ness*
For the past week and a half I've been enjoying perhaps my favorite Christmas break since moving away from home. The first week of freedom was utter chaos, but by the time the holiday was here things slowed down and I got to be my usual lazy, scarf-knitting self. The lovely Kate and the Handsome Dave got married and are now Mr. and Mrs. Handsome Dave (!), so that was pretty sweet and Mike and I got to dress up and dance (!!!) and eat cake. After that it was Christmas, and I got a ton of great gifts from my family, friends, and of course from Mike (as always!). Mom and Dad came through with some very nice dressy clothes to wear to school--now that I can't dress like a bum anymore-- a gift set of my favorite perfumes, and an assortment of other stupendous things. Kristen organized and began a Ferris State University scrapbook for me to complete as I go through school, which I adore (the book, not school). Mike did an amazing job! He got me a few gift cards, some make up, a bear (Kiddles!) he made at the Build-A-Bear workshop (with a push button in the paw that says "I love you" in his voice :D), and of course Project X! :D
For those who read my blog that participated in the amazing DVD (aka Project X) Mike made for me, I just have to thank you so much!! It was so sweet and everything looked great--he's so talented with that sort of thing. :) The best part is that when I'm lonely at school I can pop it in and see the faces of all my wonderful friends! :D Not to mention years from now when I want to remember these years I spent eating nothing but ramen and reading way too many textbooks. Mike included a lot of pictures of he and I as well--many I had forgotten were even taken! It was fun to look back and reflect on two and a half years of loving him--I can't wait for more! :)
New Year's Eve was spent at my sister Kristen's place in Monroe where she's been living for almost two years, but I had yet to see! Mom and I drove down to have a girls' night with her and bring in the new year. We knitted so much that I felt like my fingers would fall off. I mean literally, they were red and a little swollen, and the next day it hurt to scrub my hair in the shower. O_O But I had a really great time and it was good to visit my sister finally.
Mike and I also got to visit Crossroads Village again, and man I miss that place. It's so beautiful during the holidays, but I miss those long summer days watching the carousel spin. That's where we fell in love.
I left home yesterday to visit with Mike and get my crap together before the new semester begins. I missed my family right away, but I missed Mike too, so I'm glad I get to be with him for a bit. I wish I could fast-forward through these next few years so that I can be wherever I want with the people I want--but I'm sure if I did I would miss a lot of cool stuff. So I guess I'll just keep climbing that hill. *whew* That about does it for my break--Mike and I have a day off together tomorrow to shop 'till we drop, then it's back to my spider hole in Big Rapids. I'll miss having a life. :(
I hope all of you had a marvelous break! :D And Shruti I have a present for you. That is all.
*muffles*

O holy crap! I shall treasure it with all my life, especially after all the pain and torment you went through to make it! WHO ON PLANET SEDNA GAVE YOU THE IDEA OF DOING SO AND PERCHANCE KILLING YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS?!!!...you do realize, Ananda = dead = Shruti = even MORE dead.
Don't be silly, yours was done long before I almost killed myself. You know me, I love self-sacrifice for others. ;) Yep, that's so totally me.
Did I happen to make it onto the DVD? Poor Mike had been trying for days to get ahold of me when I was in Rhode Island, and I finally spoke with him but then I couldn't put the video into the proper format he wanted, and oh my I feel awful.
AMANDA! I was TOTALLY in there!! And I just wanted to say, when you think back on the last 2 1/2 years with Mike, you obviously only remember the good times and you can really enjoy the memories of that time. I bet in 2 1/2 years from now, you will just be remembering the good times from Ferris, and the times you did get to spend with Mike. So don't let it get you too down. There is definitely a rainbow at the end of your tunnel. With a pot of gold. full of Mike-ness. And gumdrops.
Love you!
A pot full of Mike. Mmmmm, salty.
*haha* methinks i was busy peeing my pants from nervousness...then i peed my pants after from being so nervous and peeing my pants in the first place...*boo* ;) Don't worry..I showered..MAJORLY. :D
Mike J: Heck yes he got you in! And I laughed my booty off the whole time!! There were so many great quotes in there, and my family got to watch too and they thought it was hilarious. And don't worry, you did great and Mike loved it too. I know it was last minute, but thanks so much for being a good sport and getting it to him--I'm very glad you did! :D
Kate: HAHA, a pot of gold full of Mike-ness. Well, that's just got to be the best pot of gold of all! ;D Yes, I definitely remember all the good times, and there are a whooooooooole lot of them!! I can't believe how much has happened between him and I during such a short time, and I know there's lots more of goodness to come. I loved your video too! It was sooooooo adorable and you're o-so-PRETTY! :D
Shruti: You did GREAT! And my mom LOVED you! I talk about you to her a lot, and when she saw you she said that you looked exactly like she imagine. ;) *AMORES!*
Oh Jesus. Had I known your family would see that, I wouldn't have mentioned goatse. Sorry 'bout that... xD
Haha, it was ok. They even laughed at your comment that the slinky could not be inserted into your anus--they're good sports. ;)
