I'm eating peanuts when I'm not supposed to be.

...sorry teeth. Sorry for ruining you.

I move to Austin after I graduate next year. I've felt a desperate need for a cultured environment for such a long time. There are so many things wrong with where I am now. Ever since I came back home from Colorado, I've felt not at home. It's Summer, and I'm not enjoying myself. I'm just trying to get through this summer and senior year, I'm not letting close relationships progress...because I feel like my presence here is so temporary. This place isn't home, not even close. This place is temporary living space, until I move far (enough) away and start living my life. Really living my life, not just trying to pass the time. So, there's that...

And here's my obsession with The Watchmen.
When I was younger, an older friend of mine introduced to me a graphic novel which I could never put down. It was (is that proper tense for this paragraph?) called The Watchmen. I recently came across the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of the novel, and this wacky feeling of shock and excitement rushed through my veins! (Ha.) So I retrieved the book through the internet and am currently re-reading it. So much nostalgia. Here is the official trailer, via YouTube for all you nitpicky yuppies.






For the curious: The song played during the trailer is "The End is the Beginning is the End" by Smashing Pumpkins. Great song, another nostalgia boost.

So I said "give me something to read and I'll read it" and you have stayed on top of that request. Sweet! I didn't know you like "The Watchmen", I've never had the pleasure to read the graphic novel but while I was watching The Dark Knight, they played the trailer for it and I was like "I need to watch that!"

I knew I was gonna scare you -I enjoyed every letter typed! :P

OMG a Texan stalker, beware!

I work for a Ford/Jeep/Chrysler dealership. New Inventory Manager. With my own cubicle with a view.

Well worked, tomorrow is gonna be a tough day =(

It's all good -sacrifices are worth it if something good comes out of them, which in this case the phrase "getting a college degree" comes to mind...

I totally get what you're saying and no, I have no idea how to spell it...

Like I said, it's all about working around your dreams right?

It sounds like you're having a good time. It's the first time since the beginning of this semester that I finish my homework before midnight, and even though I should study for tomorrow's test I think that a couple of extra hours of sleep will pay off more -so I think my time has come to head to bed for the night.

But you should do me a favor, find a building with 27 windows and include it in your piece of art! (I'm not a weirdo, I'm just obsessed with the number 27... but I guess that is being a weirdo -eh!)

Peace out!

Good night to me? Are we in the same country? 'cause if we are there's no way is dark where you're standing at.
