There walks a lady we all know, who shines white light and wants to show. On iTunes: Muse "Blackout" The last draft of that darling short story of mine was due today at one, so I'll probably be putting up a revised version of in the thread at OB. It's a little longer now, and I feel like it runs a little smoother. There were a couple parts that I just wasn't satisfied with before, but now that I've had the chance to walk away from it and come back refreshed, I was able to edit the spots that needed it and I'm pretty happy with this latest version. Granted, it's still a very short short story, but I've said just about everything that needs to be said. No more, no less, and that's what matters. ^_~ I started watching season three of Alias the other night (when I spent the night at Natalie's). We made brownies and watched the Bristow's kick some ass for a little bit before crashing. This has been an exhausting week for no real reason at all, heh. It was nice to be able to hang out with Natalie again, though. She's a sweet heart. At around four today, I'll be leaving for home with Jen and Candice. That'll make for an interesting road trip. Candice is one of the many people I've met this year. She lives in my sister's dorm, and we actually met her the first day we moved in. She came into Jen's room and started talking and talking. It was kind of funny - she'd been there all week and nobody had really moved in yet, so she was desperate for some people to talk to. She was also an out of stater - a transfer student from South Carolina. A sophomore, like me. Once again, I've been incredibly lucky with the people I've met, and that's been of huge importance to me this semester because of all the crap that's been going on. It's kind of hard to say what you want to say about a person like her. I don't really know where to start. It's like my dear friend Babs back home (who I'll get to see this weekend, yay!). It's almost like you take the friendship for granted because it's so easy and natural. You don't realize how big it really is, and then when you finally do, you think, "How could I have possibly missed that?" Does this make sense to anyone? I mean, it's easy to call somebody a friend, or a good friend, or even a best friend. But then there are people who just can't be defined by any one of those categories. Above and beyond, you know? Anyway. May this be the first of many road trips. I don't know how much I'll be able to get on during the weekend - I'm sure I will at some point, but with five other people in the house, my time will be slightly limited. Otherwise, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and go Noles! ^_~
