It’s been a long time since I’ve had time to post a blog. As of now, I am alone in the new house that David and I share with friends we’ve known since our first semester here in Warrensburg. I am enjoying the peacefulness. We have lived here for a month now and I have yet to have a full blown meltdown. I get myself frustrated and all worked up over the simple things like doing the dishes or making sure the house isn’t a disaster 100% of the time. I have finally started to let my guard down and have let people take their time in cleaning up after themselves.

One thing I am so annoyed about is the fact that I can’t get rid of these stupid flies in our house. I finally broke down and put a very ugly fly ribbon up in our front room. I just can’t stand it. The flies are ridiculous and it’s seriously grossing me out. I HATE IT!

It has been very nice having people in the house even though sometimes it can get annoying. I like being able to laugh at talk with someone other than either myself or just David. Travis and Lisa make me laugh constantly. Regardless to how this past month has gone, I am happy to be coming to Kansas City on Friday.

So, since people have wanted to hear about my fabulous story regarding 50 highway and the stupid Lincoln, here it is! So, I was driving down 50 highway and there was lots of road construction going on so the left lane was closing about 200 feet ahead. I put my blinker on and I was making my impossible attempt at merging into the right lane. I was creeping up towards the orange cones when suddenly, a woman with her daughter slow down! This was my lucky break! So I poke my nose in, trying to get into the right lane thinking to myself, “gee, what a nice woman! I’ve been sitting here for like 2 minutes trying to get in!” When, all of the sudden she ZOOMS and cuts me off so I can’t get in the lane, honks her horn and flips me off. [[CRASH!!!]] The idiot lady in her brand new “Lincoln” hits the SUV in front of her, clipping his bumper. I am laughing. No, I am DYING of laughter. So finally, I see her about 40 feet ahead pulled over with the SUV and when I finally get to merge in… I point, then flip her off and LAUGH as hard as I can. Her daughter is sitting in the car and the woman is sitting in hers, looking at me. Justice is served! Bitch.
Anywho,

I am just now finishing up Lars and the Real Girl. I never would have thought that this movie would be as good as it is. Ryan Gosling brings a very emotional character to the screen and I felt his pain, joy and heartbreak when his RealDoll dies. I watch this movie and I can see my career path unfold in front of me. I hope one day, I can help someone like Lars. Watching him come to terms with the fact that Bianca is in fact, a doll by saying she is dying and then burying her is very powerful. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are people in this world that would treat Lars the way he is treated in the movie by all of the people who live in his town. I recommend anyone see this movie. It’s so touching.
I really need to get onto my homework. I have a few things I need to do for my online class but it is pretty complicated. I think I need to re-read the chapters so I can go back over and figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do!!
