Oh man. Moving into an apartment is a heck of a lot of work. Especially when you don't have a car. Jes and Mi have been super generous with letting me use their cars but still. If I had one of my own I could just zoom zoom get the groceries and zoom zoom get the compost bucket and zoom zoom zoom get the doormats. I have a long list on my fridge of things I need to do, and while I've gotten a whole lot done there are always more. A lot of them are tricky too, like get a dining room table and chairs for free please. I've spent a lot of money buying stuff for this house but we've also gotten a TON of stuff for free. Still need more though. Pretty much everything is unpacked except for our clothes, since we don't have a dresser. So they are all exploded all over the bedroom. I'm ready to be able to put them away.
My life is pretty great right now. Everything it should be, nothing it shouldn't. Which is so nice, especially since I don't take it for granted anymore. I've been hanging out with some combination Jes and Mi and Je and Ba and A (and of course Bej, I would not even put that in because it seems too obvious to need saying but this way he won't feel left out) every day, doing all sorts of things like making soup and necklaces and Indian food and sushi and listening to Jes and Bej write their songs. I'm making friends in my class already. On Tuesday we went to the zoo and I saw a POLAR BEAR FIGHT right up close RIGHT THERE and it was SO COOOL. I also saw otters snuggling and baby tigers. So like, heck yes. And after tomorrow I should have a computer of my own that works (my computer attended a party a few weeks ago and had a bit too rough of a night) and internet in my home AT THE SAME TIME, which is something I haven't had in one month. A whole month. Can you imagine.
Maybe I will get to cross more things off my list this weekend. That would be pretty sweet.

Home again home again
I'm so happy I'm here.
I'm living in A's attic. It will be Ke's room when she shows up but I'm in it until I can move into my apartment. A's house is beaaaaaaautiful. Seriously, so beautiful. It's in the perfect location and it is blue and has a lovely finished basement (which is covered with vomit right now, no big deal) and a fireplace with a fake fire and a fish pond and pear tree and the swing set of my youth. We made pear crisp the other night with Ba's pear swirler-corer-pealer and A's pears. GLUTEN FREE DAIRY FREE SUGAR FREE pear crisp. If agave nectar doesn't count as sugar. It kind of does. But oh well.
I've seen more seals up close in the past few days than I think I've seen ever. There are all these harbor seals in the harbor eating the salmon. The Stream Team has a see the salmon station set up and they give you polarized glasses so you can look into the water and see tons and tons of salmon swimming around. I want to see a seal catch a salmon. I've seen a seal surface with a salmon in its mouth and eat it, but I want the catch.
La's sister Br is visiting and she is super cool. We're best friends. I don't want her to go back to Ireland in a few days.
La's house is ridiculous. The front door is always open and there is junk everywhere inside and out. It's hard to tell who exactly lives there with all the people going in and out and everything is constantly a mess. There is an organ in the front yard and a washing machine in the back yard. I guess what happens is some of the people dumpster dive stuff and try to sell it on ebay, but it is all sitting out in the yard in the rain so I don't know how valuable it could possibly be. But there is a firepit that we have fires in and always tons of vegetables that La brings home from the farm.
Ba is setting up her dorm room to be the best dorm room ever in the freshman dorms. I'll have to take some pictures of it because it is really impressive. She was put in there without a kitchen or living room or anything because she is an RA but she is certainly making the most of what she's got. And then some.
I told Mi that I would water her plants while she is in Chicago but then her car broke under Je's watch so I don't know how I will get there. I'll have to make a long trek.
I'm excited to move into my apartment. It seems a little wrong that A won't be there because A and Bej and I have been having the best of times living together. But I'm super excited to unpack and decorate. I have two framed dinosaur posters, one identical to the one in C's kitchen and one in a similar theme. It's going to be good.
