Did you miss me, lovelies?
Graduation came and went, and I'm as happy as a hog in shit. Excuse the lame expression, but that's about the only way I can describe it. I couldn't wait to get out of Hell, honestly.
There are those who love their schools to death, are practically married to them. I'm not one of those people. School was an unending chore with insufferable people that thankfully, I don't have to see anymore. I'm sure many of them feel the same.
I'm eager for change. Eager to see what's next in my life. I'm already in love with my new college, and the people attending. Everyone is exceedingly happy/nice/etc. And nobody's fake and aggressive and nasty. Unlike everyone else that populated the old Hell Hole.
In recent news, Joe and my two year anniversary came and went. We've had rough times lately, but I know we'll always be able to pull through. My friend Steve commented yesterday that he can't see us apart. It's like we're an institution or something. Meeny says if we don't get married that the cosmos are going to end or something.
Marriage is a huge topic, yes, and most people don't believe that Joe and I can do it. They don't understand how much we love each other, how much we feel like we're meant to be together. They say it's puppy love, or that it's simply a high school fling or whatever. To all who don't think we'll last, I say: Fuck you. Sincerely, simply, and honestly stated. It's not about how far you get, and how many months you've been seeing each other. I was in love with Joe after the first date, and no one can tell me otherwise.
The slew of gradutation parties is upon us. Carmine's was last night, and honestly, it was a total blast. He's such a cool kid, and it was nice to hang out with practically every single one of my friends and enjoy myself for once. It was nice to see Steve as well, and Joe and I talked with him in the rain for 45 minutes. It's times like those that you actually feel alive for once. We're hoping to hang out with them soon.
In other, less important news, I finished Escaflowne. If you haven't seen the series, I highly recommend it. It has a lovely bittersweet ending, and it's absolutely nothing like the anime we see here in the United States. If you think anime is just Digimon and Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and DBZ, then you are sorely mistaken. In fact, then I dub you ignorant for not being open to trying new things if you're closeminded about anime due to the aforementioned programs.
I feel lonely right now. After all of the socialization of last night, I feel trapped in a bubble. Joe's at work, Sti's at her college for orientation, and I'm sitting at home, twiddling my thumbs. I'm on my sister's computer, which I absolutely dispise.
I've been worried a lot about Daniel lately as well. He's my best friend from PA, and he's enlisted in the Army. It makes me sick to think about a 19-year-old going to fight for his country. I just hope he comes back safely... he just graduated boot camp on July 1st.
Expect another update soon enough, loves.
