Happiness.
THE SEMESTER FROM HELL IS OVER.
I think I did well on my finals, but I'm aware that there's nothing I can do about it now. Mom came up the last day of finals and we went to Cape May, NJ for a week. We've been going there for roughly 15 years and I absolutely love it. It is the nation's oldest sea resort and is rife with Victoriana. Also, the city has strict business ordinances so there are no chain stores and restaurants in the entire town. It gives a nice calm, family atmosphere. No chintzy boardwalk or nasty-ass beach sluts walking around. Everything is upscale and gorgeous. During my stay I saw 7 baby sand sharks, 2 sting rays, and 2 horseshoe crabs on the beach. I also got pretty tipsy with my mom at a nightclub watching an Australian Celtic band...awesome.
After a seriously relaxing and delicious vacation, I packed up my bags and drove to Scranton. I moved in Friday and Saturday morning we went to Baltimore for a fun Saturday of sightseeing and a baseball game. The day was gorgeous and the company was even more so :D. Sunday we drove home and cuddled during a movie. And today was my first day as an official resident of Apartment 4. Well...not official, official; but it's the first non-weekend day I've spent here with no intention of going anywhere else. I kissed Cody goodbye as he went to work, I got dressed in my closet, confidently drove around Scranton without getting lost once, spent some me-time at Borders, and went grocery shopping for us. It felt wonderful buying things I knew Cody would enjoy and would make our apartment feel more like a home. I love laying on the couch with our kitty and making dinner with Cody. It's poifect.
On a not so awesome note, all of the 50894752 places I applied to seem to think that summer hiring should only start in June. So here I am in the middle of May without employment. Which sucks. I should be starting at Specter's office this week, so here's to hoping that he wins this election. I feel bad for Joe Sestak because if he was running against almost anyone else I would support him. I wish he was running against Casey...talk about a weiner. He and I are ideological mates; but I'm selfish and want this internship reallllll hard. So...here's to not knowing how to feel about tomorrow's election. I just want to get into a routine of work that fulfills me and puts some dollaz in my bank account.
Fingers crossed!

Ten Things I Wish I Could Say to Ten Different People
1. You are such a pretentious, obnoxious bitch. I can't wait until I never have to see you again.
2. I know how much you hate this phrase, but seriously babe, get a grip.
3. I'm pretty sure you're throwing your life away; within 3 years we'll completely lose touch with one another.
4. Starting right now, you no longer have power over my emotions. You are small. You are pitiful. I can't believe I wasted friendship on you.
5. Goodbye. I love you, even though I'm as bad at showing it as you are.
6. As wonderful as things are now, I still have daydreams about my mom calling me and reading your tragic obituary to me. Rot in hell with your cunt of a girlfriend. You two liars deserve each other.
7. I'm really terrified of losing you. I don't want you to be afraid to go in a different direction if the journey with me isn't what you want, but if that actually happens I will most likely never recover. There's no one on this earth as wonderful as you.
8. I'm really sad that we weren't friends before this year, and even sadder that we won't be living in the same area post-graduation. You're one of the most fun and most original people I've ever met. You were my down-to-earth sanctuary in the midst of all this fucking drama and dumbgirlshit. And your corn/macncheese dinners were the best.
9. Why did you decide to be the creepiest person in the world? Do you think greasy hair is fashionable? Because it's not. You kinda make my skin crawl, bud. We used to have a lot of fun together...I miss that.
10. You're a manipulative bitch who will do anything to clutch your pearls and look offended. What's going to happen now that your sidekick is gone? Maybe you should take some classes on professionalism because you are seriously lacking. You are fake and pathetic.

Back from the birthday weekend!
It was the best birthday...just so much fun. The night of, Cody and I went to Poor Richard's Pub. I had a 7 and 7 and the bartender gave Cody and I some complementary shots. It was called 'Your Tongue in My Panties' and it was deeeeeeelicious. Then we ripped it up at the bowling alley at 2 in the morning with a pitcher of beer and killer dance moves. On the actual day of my birthday, Cody gave me my presents in bed (2 kinds of cinnamon schnapps, a 24 pack of cinnamon tic-tacs, the fourth season of The West Wing, and the Criterion edition of The Royal Tenenbaums), and then whipped up a wonderful batch of pancakes and orange juice. We then drove to Nay Aug Park and hiked down to the gorge and waterfall. It was stunningly beautiful. The weather was perfect; warm and dry, breezy, and the splash of the waterfall felt cool against my feet. It was amazing.
We ate dinner at Cooper's Seafood, one of my favorite Scranton eateries. I had a melon ball cocktail (and was not carded!) and got a free seafood dinner. Cody looked smashing in his Liberty of London tie, and his smile made the whole restaurant get brighter. After a delicious meal, we sauntered over to Carmen's wine bar. It is my ideal drinking establishment; dark wood and damask wallpaper, tall glass shelves and dark ocher lamps. And to my great surprise, the seating area of the bar was hosting a 3-piece jazz band. The bandleader was convinced Cody and I were getting married; he even announced it to the crowd and we were applauded. Someday! Someday.
Cody also got me the most delicious ice cream cake, which we devoured.
Sunday morning we planted our flowers, green peppers and tomatoes. We opened all the windows in the apartment, the breeze skated through the rooms; the curtains danced in their frames. Turner sunbathed and mewed for the chance at the outdoor life. It felt like home. I can't wait for summer. For grocery shopping and cooking of meals together, and snuggling on the futon to watch the news. Sharing the sink to brush our teeth and crawling into bed together. Bars and gallery openings Saturday nights, picnics, museums, and laundry on Sunday mornings. Lovin' alllllll the time.
