Moving

Got a letter from Ryan yesterday. He was fired from squad leader for being a minute late relieving someone else from fire watch, but he's not too upset about it since he will have more of his free time for himself now. He misses all the little things we used to do together and my smile. ♥~

I spent the past couple of days in Greeneville with Kesha celebrating her 20th birthday so that was fun. Like old times. Haha. Tuesday we saw Iron Man here in Knoxville before we headed to Greeneville which was fun. Good movie. Wednesday night after festivities at her house with her family and boyfriend, we were goofing around in Wal-Mart when my brother (who works nightshift there) saw me and thought he was hallucinationg...he had no idea I was even in Greeneville. XD Apparently my mom hadn't told him so he thought he was losing it when he looked up and saw me. Heh. We ended up eating with him on his break. So that was fun. ^_^ Thursday morning Kesha brought me home in time for work and all that jazz.

Today my mom came down after work. (Last day of work! Hooray!) We spent the better part of the evening packing up all the stuff in the closets. Tomorrow we have to tackle the kitchen and bathroom, but that won't be so bad. I still need to finish up reloading my CD's onto iTunes, but I think I'll work on that tomorrow night because I'm ready to head to bed.

Thoughts on Hair

So I've been trying to grow my hair back out because I was unhappy with it short. But I'm unhappy with it long, too. Ugh. I'm getting married in July, and I need to settle on something that can happen by then. Obviously it's easier to keep it short seeing as I can't magic my hair longer than it's going to be on its own. So I've been thinking I like the colors in my hair in the picture to the right on the sidebar, but my hair being that flat...only really happened for that picture. (Which was pre-short haircut. I cheat when it comes to recent pictures for profiles.) Haha. It tends to poof. So when I chopped it to chin length I looked like a mushroom. : P So I've been toying with cutting it like Ella Chen of S.H.E.. She still manages to look quite girly on many occasions, but her hairstyle is one of those you could roll out of bed or let air dry and still look pretty much the same. Heh. I dream of such a style. I'm scared to cut it off that short, though. Especially without Ryan here to give his opinion. I've had it close to that short before, but I was never brave enough to cut it in a way that I would have to have it tucked behind my ears in a boyish fashion. But a bob just doesn't do it for me anymore, and I'm too lazy and easily frustrated to keep my thick, coarse hair long. So does anyone think I can pull this off? Or am I just dreaming?



Got another letter from Ryan. Seems to be doing pretty well and is eager for my letters as always. But I send them everyday so I'm glad I can be of some comfort to him. I'm counting down the days until we are together again. I miss him a lot. *sigh* As they say, it will be here before I know it.

P.S. Tomorrow's Astronomy final exam = my demise.

Asian Drama Euphoria

I got a letter from Ryan yesterday! Well, technically it would have been the day before yesterday. Seeing as it's after midnight, and today is now Sunday. -_-;; Me and my weirdo sleeping habits. Anywho, he seems to be really busy, and apparently he's been a squad leader since Receiving. He didn't want to jinx it by telling me before because they are hired and fired on a dime, and he wanted to see if he could keep it. He could still lose it any day. Basically he gets punished a lot for other people and spends his free time chasing people down so that's why he doesn't get to write very often. I feel pretty loved because apparently his mother hasn't gotten anymore letters since her first one, and I've gotten several.

I'm getting somewhere on packing...I think. I still feel like I have so much more to do. Sadly it's mostly stuff I'm going to have to unpack as soon as I get settled into my room at my grandparents' in G-Vegas. Ugh. I've already packed most of the electronics, knick knacks, etc. that will be staying packed away until Ryan and I move to his first duty station. Most of what is left includes clothing and shoes, hair and make-up stuffs, girly bathroom items, and hobby stuff I'll want to mess with while I'm in Greeneville. Though I haven't packed any of my kitchen stuff yet. My mom is going to bring a bunch of newspaper and more boxes to help with that next weekend. Craziness.

I've already finished Why Why Love. It was pretty awesome although the last few episodes made me really sad. T_T Now I'm watching the Taiwanese version of Hana Kimi. A classmate recommended the Japanese version to me, but I only got halfway through the first episode and couldn't take anymore. Haha. Maybe I'll go back and watch it afterward. But I think I'm just used to watching dramas in Mandarin right now since my previous two both took place in Taiwan. It felt weird watching something in Japanese after that. Heh. Not to mention Jiro Wang is in this one! : D I love him to pieces. He was awesome in It Started with a Kiss 1 & 2 even if he was just the other boy who got shafted when the male lead stepped up. Haha. He's adorable, though. For reallies.

Out of Whack

My sleeping and eating schedule is all messed up right now. Heh. -_-;; I don't know which way is up anymore. The only part of the day I have down to a routine is the three or fours hours I have to be at work in the afternoons. The rest of the time I laze around on the couch or in bed watching Asian dramas and muching on PB&J sandwhiches or crackers accompanied by extensive amounts of Coke Zero. Geez. I'm depressing myself just thinking about my lack of enthusiam pertaining to life in general on a day to day basis right now. I'm just here. Haha. But I'm not down or anything. In reality I'm quite content. But it'll be good for me to get to Greeneville and have regular meals and sleep more regularly instead of staying up all night and sleeping until noon.

I recently ordered a couple of panda bows from 2 Lil' Angels Boutique, and they came in the mail today! : D I attempted to take a picture of one in my hair. Heh. I'm off to study for my Sociology final at 8AM...and watch more Asian dramas!

Mike He = ♥

So I finally finished ISWAK2: They Kiss Again. To fill the empty hole in my heart caused by the end of a fantastic Asian drama, I began the search for another and found Why Why Love. I'm only two episodes in, but I like it so far. Although it does seem to be Devil Beside You combined with a lot more cuteness and sparkliness. O_o;; Haha. The three lead actors are even exactly the same! Playing the exact same type of characters! Heh. But I love it anyway. How can anything with Mike He be bad? For reallies.

Yay!

A letter two days in a row! ^______^ Happiness. He talked about getting my letters about three days after I write them and his more recent physical training with a 2 mile run and King Kong's Q-Tips. Haha. Apparently he finished 5th out of 3 platoons (about 180 recruits) and 2nd in his platoon (about 60 recruits) in the run, so he was feeling good about that. He said his first aid class turned into redneck storytime about all of the incredibly stupid ways certain people in his class have injured themselves. XD He hates waking up to yelling instead of me, and sometimes he wishes he could have one of my hugs.

Time is moving quickly for him. Only ten weeks left. He is already halfway through the 1st phase of boot camp. He said I would hate it there because it is a highly stressful, no privacy environment, and I would have to wear BC glasses. He said as far as he can tell he hasn't morphed into an arse - at least no worse than he already was. He feels like he has redeepened his faith and relationship with God, but that doesn't mean he will come back and treat me like property like some husbands. He still wants us to be a partnership forever, and I quote, "You and me against the WORLD." ^_^;; I love that boy.

Today I finally started putting all of my CD's back on iTunes. It's going to take a while, but I've started packing the DVD's, video games, etc. into the boxes Sarah M brought down last week so I'm going to get the CD's reuploaded and pack them as I do so. I need to get some newspaper so I can start packing the dishes and stuff that I'm not using at the moment. I meant to get some in Greeneville this weekend, but I forgot. Heh.
