winning friends and influencing people

i got so bored yesterday because after my nap, i woke up to my roommate pirating my computer to write a paper. i didn't have the heart to kick her off, but i did have enough heart to repeatedly kick her off and tell her to never you use my computer again in my head. i need to work on curbing that. the computer is my source of all now (entertainment with the internet and the stupid stuff there, communication with aim and of course my blog, and of course a way for me to get my work done) and if someone would do anything to harm it i'm sure i would retaliate in some profane words and tears. like i've said before, it's my best friend now.

anyways, i decided to decorate my bed area because i have the bottom bunk with lots of wall space to put up pictures and decorate. well, i got really into it because i brought a magazine with me. i clipped that up because i did happen to forget my pictures. so i have an area designated to my friends. it has a reference to halo 2 for all those anderson boys who are hooked. there is also an ad for a music festival at calvin college where two good friends are attending right at the moment. there is an article about starbucks for my sweetie and i will put something else up about anderson to remind me of other friends at good ol' anderson.


there are other parts to remind me of home, the places i've been so far, and of course some random pictures of bands that i enjoy (or pictures of interesting bands that at least look good).

it made me super happy to decorate despite the lack of things to decorate with. i was just happy i entertained myself without my computer.

i went out last night and i was able to have a relatively good time with the girls at the bar and then the dance club. i was sad though cause this silly vanlentine's day brought so many decorations everywhere you went. it was completely obvious to miss scott. i did have fun dancing like an idiot. it was more like flailing my arms and moving my body to any beat i found regardless of the song. acting like a complete dork is my piece of cake on the dance floor. ; )

i had two really great ideas for blogs yesterday (or at least blog titles) but now i just can't remember them. shoot. oh well, this will have to do.

thanks to those who gave me nice messages whie i was away yesterday. it made me feel so deeply happy and i can't to you all how much i appreciate just the simplest of sentences to be there waiting for me when i get home. thank you was never so genuine.
