I have no idea what to say. I'm in a random, giggly mood. I just went to Ikea with Kari. Not bad, right? But we went to Philly. Well, Conshohocken, actaully. It was great, aside from minor traffic on the way there. The WHOLE reason for the trip was that I bought a quilt when I was in Pittsburgh last and Ikea was out of the cover I wanted. So I had to get one. I didn't want it to get dirty. So we drove 1.5 hours, one way. Just to get it.

Now, it's almost 11, I should be very sleepy, but I'm giddy. It's a good feeling. I realized I'll be going to Vegas in two weeks. I'd love to go shopping before then, but we'll see. I have enough clothes, but naturally, they're not good enough for Vegas. :> Or am I just looking for an excuse to go shopping? I think it's more the latter..

Also, I started reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintanence. Finally. Mandy told me to read it years ago, but I'd always put it off. So it was about time. I'm putting off reading Catch-22, because the beginning stinks, so I figured this was a good side track. It's really good. Much better than I'd expected it to be. I guess I didn't realize it also had a story line to tie everything together. So we'll see how this one goes before I pick up Catch-22 again. I'm a slow reader, but if you have any recomendations for my next book, I may get around to it one day.

I'm home for lunch today. It's nice to come home sometimes. Having no windows at work really hurts the ability to sit there for so many hours per day, days on end. Not only that, when I forget my lunch, it's nice to have a free one here.

At any rate. It was a stressful day at work. Today, our financal reports which run each morning were wrong. *sigh* They then took 3 extra hours to run. So this is a well deserved lunch. If only I had my Weight Watchers ice cream. That would make me happy.

On a side note, I need to start exercising regularly again. Did you ever notice it's really easy to say that when there's no reasonable means to start at that moment?

I have nothing intelligent to say... other than that I'm going to Vegas in about 2 and a half weeks. I can't wait to get away from here. Yipee.

Ok. I'm done.

So it's been awhile, right? So much has gone on. Most importantly, I've realized that I miss my friends in Pittsburgh. There's very little tying me to Harrisburg, and I'm always thinking about what those things really are.

I went home this weekend to help my best friend of all time, Mandy, and her fiance (who's also a pretty good friend of mine. I think I knew him before Mandy did) move to their new house. It was so nice and relaxing to see old friends. I did more things in just over 24 hours than I do here in a week and a half (and I'm being generous). They have a 6 year old on weekdays and their lives are more interesting than mine. And to boot? The other half of their duplex is open for rent now. They've suggested I move there, and that's so tempting. But I just can't. I can't leave here during my lease. But come next July...

Then again, why am I making excuses? I'll tell you exactly why. I can't let go. I have a few good friends here that I'd miss. Dave. I'd miss Renee, Jen and all of the other people that I don't hang out with most of the times anyways. But most of all, it's scary. Coming to Harrisburg was never permanent. It was just for school. But somewhere along the line, I forgot to move back. Oops. But now, if I go back, it's not like I'd ever come back to Harrisburg. If I'm willing to give up, that's it. That's such a finality and I don't know if I'm willing to accept that yet.

But most of all? I just miss my Pittsburgh people. People that actually DO things, and don't just sit around talking about doing them. I could easily go back to Denny's, pay off my bills and call it a day.

Maybe one day...

Hello. Well, sorry it's been so long. It's not been good times, but oh well. Trying to recover from all of this is very difficult. All I want to do is go home. I wanna ask Christy if she'll come with me, cause I don't want to make the drive alone. Boohiss.

And speaking of Harrisburg sucking... I hate living closer to Philly and Baltimore than Pittsburgh, because any time one of those cities is playing the same time and channel as PGH, you know which game I get to watch? That's right, not the PGH game. And it's opening day. I got to watch about 30 seconds of it when I was leaving the G-Man.. Steph noticed it was on on our way out the door. Boohiss again.

So my PC is broken again. I tried loading Fedora Core 1. Welp, I forgot that I found out last time, the disks Dave gave me don't work. Whaaa. So I can't boot my PC at all. I just have my laptop again. I can't wait until I get all the parts for my new one. Dave fronted me $75 for the motherboard, which has a $75 refund. That was very nice of him. Now I just need all the other stuff. :<

Welp, I'm going to go back to the Baltimore/Cleveland game. Next Friday, I already made plans with Trace, yay. And I just talked Steph into going to Anapolis next Saturday. I knew it wouldn't be all that hard. :> Not that I have any money to shop, but it's just fun.
