A quack who's gone to the dogs.
May. 22nd, 2003 03:26 pmI left work early. I couldn't talk at all. I was actually going to stay at work, but my boss told me to go home. How often does that happen? Hee. So here I am. I think I'll start watching movies now. Maybe I'll have a milkshake for dinner. That's what I had for lunch.
Last night, Jen and I watched Agnes of God. What a totally bizarro movie. (Jane Fonda is so frightening!) Did I ever tell you guys that when I was a young kid, I wanted to be a nun? You heard it here first. It wasn't until a few years ago that I heard the rumor that most nuns were lesbians. I sure didn't think about it when I was at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School. But come to think of it, most of the nuns were pretty butch. I wonder if they had "improper friendships."
Yes, so we're moving in together. This is pretty huge for me. After all, I've only ever lived with one person (in that relationship sense, I've had other roommates), and we were married. And we all know how that turned out. We actually started talking about moving in together a little while ago, and I was all for it. And then I freaked out and backed out of it. And then I backed back in. She's very understanding. Especially when I say totally whacked out things like, "But if we move in together, where will I put my DUCKS?"
But I'm excited about it. And yes, I'm still scared, but not in a paralyzing way. And while I feel that moving in together is an enormous step (especially since, legally, we really can't do much more than that unless we buy a house, and even then, we're still technically just two people who bought a house together), it's a step I think is right, and at the right time. By the time her lease runs out, it will almost have been two years. (Where did the time go?) I can't imagine another person better suited to my craziness, who takes it with such gusto. <3
So I'm guessing the current plan is to find the place so I can move in when my lease ends on 31 July... and then we'll dump her apartment when her lease ends on 31 October. I hope I can swing the additional rent for those few months, and still find some mad money to do some summer travelling.
That reminds me: I was invited to a wedding in Baltimore on 21 June. It's a 6.5 hour drive according to MapQuest. Or we could fly for $140 each. The questions are: Do we want to go? And if we do, do we want to drive or fly? The wedding is at 6pm on Saturday, so it's totally feasible to do the drive, it's just a lot of driving. We're already driving to NJ after Carina's wedding so Jen can say goodbye to her childhood home.
I'm babbling. Time to watch a movie.

Still not liking the "anonymous" title...
