better, closer, warmer
Feb. 10th, 2010 08:17 pmI am still a little broken, but mostly doing well. The fall down the stairs seems to have only caused bruises, nothing worse.
My computer, however, is definitely broken. I'm waiting for a new hard drive to arrive in the mail. I didn't realize how much I was attached to my specific computer until it got taken from me. D:
But the weekend, prior to computer breakage, was actually quite wonderful. We had an African party Friday night and an Africa party Saturday night. The African party was for people actually from Africa, who are friends with some of the housemates, and the Africa party was for people who came with me to Africa. Both were fantastically lovely. It was really good to see the Africa folks who were able to make it, and we didn't spend the whole time only talking about Africa, which would have upset Texas (who applied but didn't get in).
I also had my first shift at the Phonathon yesterday and got people to donate 35 dollars. I was excited. The job is going to involve a lot of doodling I think, maybe some secretive writing (which I don't think I'm supposed to do because it is distracting). But money. I need it, the job lets me have it. I just have to remember that.
Valentine's Day Sunday. I think we're doing dinner on Saturday night. I don't know. I'm weird about Valentine's Day, because I don't *want* it to matter, but it does to me. I mean, last year I had a SHIT time all day with my Science Olympiad girls outside of Seattle, and then came home and I don't think The Boyfriend even said, "Happy Valentine's Day." I wanted to break things. All that was needed really, was a happy valentine's day and maybe a piece of chocolate. I'm not that high maintenance, I swear.
Anyway, then next Sunday is my birthday, which means sometime that weekend we'll have to do sloe gin fizzes because they are the best.
