happy halloween! i didn't celebrate . .. unless you call sorting an incredibly wonky - and overflowing - lot of shit allll dayyyyy. i really should've taken 'before' and 'after' pictures. it was insane. the 'afters,' as it were, will be posted within the next few days (as work has - surprise - been canceled again). it is looking really lovely in here and, despite the fact that i hate moving, i'm rather pleased. most of the hard stuff was done yesterday, but we still did enough work today as well. i cannot believe how much junk we've got, but we are definitely going to sort through and rid ourselves of a lot of it. i'm still sick, but i'm feeling better than i have since this started. i should be 'back to normal' in another day or two. anyhow. now, for the notes: kate said -- How did you meet your beau? tell me the story of falling in love. wowwww. this may get kind of long, heh. i met him through a guy i used to be friends with, 'b.' he brought mike with him to hang out one night while some friends and i were having dinner at applebee's (in the city i used to live; he and 'b' are from where i live now). mike is reeeally shy, so he didn't say much that night, but i'd liked him straightaway - and, as i was even more blunt back then, i told him so. i didn't figure on anything happening, though. we became friends and, because he's shy, he'd told me he just wanted to keep things that way, which i was fine with (if secretly a smallll bit sore about). we hung out all the time and it was hard to believe he didn't feel the same as i, but i couldn't force him into confession, hah. meanwhile, back at the ranch. . . a friend of mine from florida asked if i'd move down by him because he'd wanted to be more - and because he thought it would be cool. i'd been considering it and happened to tell michael .. . which, i suppose, put the gears in motion, because he asked me out a short while later. i suppose i could add more details, but that would take me soso long to type and i can't be bothered right now. if anyone is that curious, though, i'll be happy to elaborate in another entry. (= we just had our three-year anniversary on 16 oct and he proposed on 26 july of this year. (= -- What is your greatest strength/greatest weakness? hmmmm greatest strength: i think i've become a more open person over the past few years, which includes tolerance. i used to hate and criticise -everything- all the time and i was really unhappy as a result. i know i'm not perfect, but i do try to be as understanding as possible. (= greatest weakness: i am entirely too emotional - and horrible with stress. i have a hard time handling difficult situations, though i usually fare well by the end, but it always hits me harder than necessary. a close second is that i am lazyyyyyyy. anyhow, feel free to ask anything you'd like to know, as it gives me something not quite as mundane to write about, heh. we've just gotten our internet working, so i'll be able to update more regularly again (SARAH). hope everyone has had a spectacular halloween! (= bwahahahahahahahhhhhh. (and other such things.)
