Leave The "Driving" To Us (Part 1)

The end of the week approached quickly as I adjusted to life at my Mother's house. I had played a lot of card games, checked my email incessantly, and waited for the call from my boo nightly... I thought of all these things as I said good-bye to my Mom. I thought of our fights and our laughter. The smell of Burger-King was thick in the air (it was downtown Detroit afterall). I reached over to hug her before i left to get my luggage out of the back of her SUV. I told my little sister good-bye a final time before I headed home. I tried to wave as I made eye contact with my Mom but my hands were full. I hope she saw my eyes and realized how hard it was. I don't know why it was so heart wrenching for me. We hadn't had a particularly amazing time. It was a positive experience, though.


I walked up to the information desk and had my bag checked. Ecerything was going smoothly. I waited patiently in a corner for my bus to arrive. I leaned on a pillar. My bus arrived and I got in line to have my ticket checked and board the bus. I gave my luggage to the attendent and walked on with my carry on. I looked for a seat. The aisle was littlered with people putting their luggage in the overhead compartment. I picked a sear near the forward of the bus and took a refreshing breath of air as we left on time.

I started to read my new book and magazine. Before I knew it we were in Toledo. The bus driver got out of the bus and didnt return for at least 20 minutes. The other passengers started to get upset, "She is so rude!" and "If she can't get us there on time there are others without a job that would be willing to." I heard a clap of someone's hands and a chuckle from the back of the bus. She got back on quickly drove off while pressing on the horn twice. I just continued listening to my iPod and reading my book ignoring the others on the bus. Progress continued on my trip back to Muncie until an unforseen complication caused the bus (and my plans for the next 8 hours) to come to a screaching hault..

Detroit: A City of Love

I love going through old photos. They are so timeless. Here is my great-grandmother. She died earlier this year. The kindest person I have ever known. She never yelled, never was rude. She was always kind. A great woman.

So, I'm in Detroit with my Mother and her family. I'm enjoying being with them, catching up with all of them, but I miss my friends, my routine, and getting lucky every night. I can't wait to get dressed up tomorrow and go watch my younger siblings sing at their church. Mostly, though, I wanna wear my new clothes and look cute.

It's such a great time of year. It really is. The baking in the house is so great. We've made a lot of cookies lately, but we're going to make some some beef stroganoff for christmass. My mom is such the caring soul, though, that she talked to Mike and they are going to use Portabello Mushrooms in my batch and flavor it that way. What an awesome idea, and what a great effort. Also!! on Xmas Eve they usually graze on shrimp throughout the night, not really ever having a main course, but because I am here they are going to make an additional dish with angel hair pasta and a type of cream based sauce with capers and everything. It's going to be delicious. I'm very excited for my Christmas.

My grades were decent this semester. 3.6 Not bad for a first semester. I am satisfied, but I am determined to score higher on my next semester. My classes should be more challenging this semester too, so I am eager to get to work on it all.

I've been keeping in close contact with my boo while I'm in Detroit. He's just so special. I'm glad I have someone like him. I've been keeping close to Natty too. I adore him, so we've been texting back and forth throughout break. Whether it seems like it from how I've been talking to Natty, I am excited for the possibility of him and Steve rooming together (and even more so for the three of us during the summer times) I think it's an arrangement, with planning, that could work out very very well.

I caught up with JoAnne quickly today. I miss her so much she's so great.

I'm not sure of my New Years Plans. You know I'm doi' something with Steven. Cause I'm makin out with him once midnight hits, just not sure where. Depends if I'm in the mood to go to a party and mingle with a crowd. Not sure. We'll do something fun and random.

Speaking of random, I have some more great pics of Steve that I can't wait to show you guys. I'll put them on my facebook as soon as I can. I left my cable for my camera in my room, and if I can't find a card reader I'm going to have to wait until the 8th to access them. No matter what, I love all of you (but I love Steven more)

Have a great Holiday!!!

Love

Steven is so.... amazing. We went out tonight, and when he after he took me home we parked in my driveway. We were playing Celine Dion and gentlely making out. It was so sensual, so pure. I had half a mind to go push his head down, but I wanted to keep it special and innocent. It was beautiful. I know this seems so soon, but this is something I have never felt before. There is a confidence in this relationship. There is true love. He will be my boo forever.

Oh ! oh ! oh ! -- We went to Target to kill some time and threw a "throw pillow" up and down isles. Then I threw a bound up blanket at him and he did a little karate kick at it. lol!! It was so incredibly fun. I love when we play around. We were wrestling and talking to the cashier. lol. It was good fun. He smelled beauuuuutifullllll.

So, on my daily patrol of blogs I came across a person's blog talking about how hard it is to be friend's with mos. This really hurt me. It really annoys me how people have gay friends, and then rely on stereotypes and generalizations to characterize us. This is just as closed minded as saying it's hard to be friends with Jews because they'll always steal the rest of your Equal and Splenda packets. Come on now. It's hard being friends with people who gossip and who steal stuff, not with gays and Jews. There is a difference, you know.

Got some new dress clothes, they look hot.

I go to Detroit on Tuesday and come back the 27th. It will be great to visit my Mom, travel a bit, all that. I will miss my friends, though. Do not fear, I will be back, and ready to get to work.

I'll havea an update on my gorgeous christmas gifts soon!!

Finals

Finals is gonna be a lot easier than I thought it would be. Not that it'll be easy, just that I'll be able to get some sleep. It's true, and I'm excited about it.

I can't believe that school is nearly done (for the semester at least). Woo woo. The kids on my new floor are some great peeps. So shout outs to them.

Oh, why do people, when they have a bad day complain about the gay community at BSU? I don't understand it. I mean, yes, all communities gossip and have whores and stuff, but I contend there shouldn's be a huge classification of this gay community. Communities should be based on friendship and common interests. Not just because we have the same sexual orientation. It's kinda being like Ohhhh this Asian community at BSU. There has to be a greater connectivity, I think. Oh Well.

I have to go study. Be Good!!

Studying Was Never This Fun Before

Oh dear. Finals week is upon us and I have yet to engross myself in the constant studying needed. I am off to go study in a bit. I have a full week, but I can't wait until break. It'll be nice to take a break. Visit my Mom, etc.

Steven spent the night last night. Natty did too. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them. I have such a great time with all of them. I am glad I made this move, I get to be closer to all my friends. It's a great feeling to invite your boo over, spend the night with him, be free and open with your roommate, and even get along with people on your floor. I just feel very blessed.

So, I'm really excited. I can actually pull off a 4.0 this semester. I may not, but it is possible. I'm gonna continue to try hard. There are a few that are borderlines, so it really is dependent on my finals. I'm sure it'll all be good.

Christmas is right around the corner!! I need to go and make cards and send them out to everyone. It's getting late.

I updated the look of my blog. Hope 'yall like it. Changed the layout, the bar on top, my description, and picture. I was reading my description, and I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote it. Hell if I am easy going lol. I'm a positive person, but goddammit I am so up tight it's not even funny lol.

My grandparent's dog died, 16 years old. They are taking it pretty rough, and because they are moving in with us soon they aren't so sure that they can get another one. My Dad is allergic, afterall. He's encouraging them to look into dander-free dogs. I talked to Steven about it and he gave me a list of dogs that might work well. How adorable would it be to have a cute little Cockapoo or a Schnoodle running around the house *aw*

Lizzy

This is Lizzy. Dolly's baby. She died shortly after birth due to malpractice. I feel so horrible. She was gorgeous, and due to a fucking drunk she's dead. Fuck him.

I've been working on my final English project. I think it's going very very well. I am so excited about it. All my classes are going well. I'm going to be doing homework most of today, but my reward will come shortly. I need to do a three page paper on the progress of my english project, figure out my spring schedule at work, study for a Math quiz, do some Math homework, study for Astronomy and Psychology.

I got some great stuff yesterday. Kyle and I decorated our room for Christmas. We put some silver wrapping paper on our door, with a huge bow, and two stockings. It's hot. The crew went to Panera Bread, my first time there, and may I say, yum yum yum. I got some new clothes, lotion, a wallet, winter jacket, and a bunch of random stuff at Target. We came back to my place and Steve and I cuddled while watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was pretty cute. I'd seen it already, though.

Steve just keeps blowing me away. His level of commitment and love is overwhelming. I'm going to go to get dinner in a bit, and then go watch the housewives with the crew and my boo.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

Moved In

Ohhh, a gorgeous pic of Dolly. She really is a pretty dog. Poor mommy, I hope she feels good soon.

So I moved on over to Swinford. The room is a lot nicer than my previous room. I'm really excited, cause I can live here this year, next year, and if I don't get into East for the rest of the time too. It's a pretty cool place. I'm roomin' with my friend Kyle, and we decorated our door for christmas. I decorated part of my side already, it's gonna be continual process, so I'm excited.

Steven came with the crew and shopped with us. I got him a lamb and he got me a panda at Target. He is the best. Honestly, I've had doubts about every other relationship in my life. In this relationship, though, I have no doubts. I am so secure, and happy, and it just feels right. It's great. He means a lot to me.

I'm goin' up to my Mom's place for Christmas, and I just got her gift. It's so gorgeous. Custom. One of a kind. It's hot.

I am working tomorrow with Heather tomorrow, so I need to kick it. I'll update more later. I've got a lot of schoolwork to do tomorrow. A 4.0 ain't easy boo boo.
