miss jennie comes craaaawlin' back to the keyboard (which is getting pink stains from my fingers - lack of latex gloves when dying hair fuschia = baaaaaaaaad. very bad.) and, huh, i don't think i have much of anything new to say - i haven't found jesus or anything..
i witnessed my first 4th of july celebration last night, nifty fireworks and all (because we were seated at a stadium, each rocket explosion sent an amazing laser beam echo around making it feel like you were in the middle of an intergalactic war.. very cool [and geeky, i know])
entertainment was a bit dinky at best - "the wind beneath my wind" song from beaches sung to a salsa beat wasn't exactly what i pictured when i was first propositioned to come along to the celebration, but that's okay.. and yes, the fireworks kicked ass.
it helped me take my mind off the fact that this upcoming weekend will be the first time in my life that i'm not home for Crazy Farmer's Days. of all the holidays and occasions i have missed back in sweden, this is the one that is really getting to me. i've called repeatedly to my mom and harassed her into promising she'll buy me the characteristic candy and send me, but still. pfft. no cheesy t-shirts and bags and bags of cherries until ya throw up for this chick. boo.
she (mom) also told me that one of the young people who died at roskilde a few days ago was from ronneby (my town back in sweden) - well, not from, he was currently studying there, so i don't personally know him, but it freaked me out enough. and, in fact, i don't want to talk about it, so i won't. suffice to say, it made me very, very sad and squishy for a while.
but then gene let me listen through the phone to the two brand new day-old puppies suckling their dog mommy yesterday. that was fun and unbearably adorable. my cat sammy's been neutered and they're attempting to move him to my mom's new (as of 3 days) apartment with little luck... he keeps scratching them to hell and back when they try to grab him.. can you blame him? (o ghod am i really down to reporting pet news?)
actually, as dull as it reads as an entry, i really kind of like this state of simplicity. nothing major happened, yet i'm delightedly entertained around the clock, and i'm not utterly broke. i find it terribly exciting that i did -all- my dishes, threw out crap my roommate didn't clean up before she left and that the plan for the evening consists of grocery shopping and cooking a grand meal, so.. what more could a girl ask for?
exactly. besides, it's still sunny outside - i need to get back outside and watch my hyper bright purple hair reflect in windows - hooray! be well and be square! (er, sort of..) later.
