friends of saturday lover

A Saturday full of beautiful, crystal-clear nothing.

Well spring break has officially started for U of I students. And I’m not a student but my significant other is, so I celebrate it as well. And we have quasi-planned a trip down to Texas where the weather forecast is a high of around 70 and sunny. Perfect! So matt and I are planning to leave on Monday, after I get a couple of hours of work in and a paycheck we’ll leave. And we’re going to break up the trip down to Texas and we have to pick a town to stop in. and we’re thinking of driving through the Ozarks which are beautiful but I think it’s supposed to be rainy so boo. But still it’ll be nice to not be on interstates the entire way.

This past week has been boring. Matt’s had like a million exams or assignments and he even had a job interview in Rockford, IL. So while he was working his engineer butt off I’ve been going to work, coming home, falling asleep on the couch and then feeling lamer than lame. I work out here and there but nothing to make me feel less gross.

I say this all the time but it’s still true. I miss friends. Here are their names in no particular order and what they brought to the table.
Sara- RA-diculousness and can pretty much quote any quote I can quote. And is real good at “hanging out” and talking about “nothing” AND she’s a good gossip. Which sounds awful but it’s not- it’s one the best/worst features of our group of friends.
Emily- also ridiculous but to an nth degree. Loves the word incredulous because I used it to describe her. Easy to distract her which is fun because she’s probably the busiest person I know.
Casey- stupid, smelly boy. But probably one of the most appreciative persons of humor I know. Will and can be a complete goon if provoked. Eats with muumuus on. Also good at acting like one of the girls. He’s a great person to be around, it SUCKS not being a block away, or living in the same building.
Jami- I see her more often than the rest, which is just fine by me. We can also talk about nothing for hours and it’s great. I would love to have Jami around all the time for the rest of my life. Haha I just had this crazy image of her and I being like moms together and having our kids go to the same school… sorry I’m crazy and creepy. But it’d be so fun!
Ryan- talk about goon. I prefer the Ryan with Casey and Pocket next to him. Because when those boys are together, they are pretty great to be around. Conversations about the technicalities of comic book characters, movies, zombies and what have you are pretty normal and considered important. Ryan is the most adult person, with a real job and a real salary.
Pocket- oh poskit in Thailand. Very sweet but kind of moody. Hehe, but would we have him any other way? No. I could say plenty about pocket that would sound schmaltzy. (p.s. Microsoft word just spell checked the word schmaltzy… incredible) but if I had to put it in a few words I’d say Pocket is genuine. See? All schmaltz.
Jeff- I’m so glad I befriended Jeff sophomore year. It’s hard to describe jeff without sounding like I’m completely in love with him. *sigh* haha. But so it goes- he’s student teaching right now which is great. Jeff + kids= Larry David + black people. Jeff laughs at a lot of things and that’s why I like him so much.

Ho hum, other people could be named and who I like seeing and being around but I’m loosing focus. Because I drank some coffee… I don’t know why. I don’t even like coffee that much but it seemed like a great idea. Also it made me wish had an espresso machine to steam some milk. My parents have one maybe I can take it. I get to see them soon!!! Yay! And my brother!!! yay!!! All I have to do is making through the next couple of days. But for now I'm just enjoying a Saturday.
