Back (Without A Vengeance)
So hey, I'm back from the states now, and I'm pretty bummed out about it. It's always hard to leave Buffy behind, but each time it gets harder. I found myself crying on the phone to her the first time I called after I got back. I hate the shock of knowing that you can't just turn around and see the person you love anymore. And being there for 7 weeks meant that I got to do that a lot. Roll on winter.

I returned from America with a truckload of DVDs¹, Paper Mario 2, Sin City: That Yellow Bastard, lots of new clothes (that make me look awesome), two pairs of shoes, lovely lush facewash, Missy Elliott - The Cookbook and Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boys - Crunk Juice. Yes. I know. It is amazing. I had such an amazing time² and all I can think about is going back. It's Buffy's 21st this winter, and although she doesn't want me to miss classes it'll take a lot to keep me away.

Edit: I forgot to mention the TWO BAGS OF CANDY Buffy bought me which were not only stuff I hadn't tasted before, but since I saved a lot for the trip back home they were also a lovely sugary/peanut buttery treat to accompany me.

I'm kind of in that lull between big things right now. I've just been living with Buffy for all summer, and now I'm waiting back home to move into my new house. Marcus and Gav are both away right now, and they'll be working a lot when they get back too, but at least I'll be with friends again. And pretty soon I'll have a job and internet access, and then I'll be in classes again. But I feel kind of lost right now. I don't know what to do with myself most of the time. I've been given a couple of web design jobs to keep me busy, so we'll see how those go. Hopefully the money that I get from these will cover a plane ticket to Buffy again. That's what I'll be thinking about, anyway.

I won't have internet access at the house for a while, so expect another break in posts, but I won't leave this for as long, I promise.

¹ Napoleon Dynamite, Scrubs Season 1, Hot Shots!, Hot Shots! Part Deux, Vanilla Sky, Snake Eyes, The Life Aquatic and probably a few more.
² as I tell every single person I meet when they ask me about the trip, rather than talking about how sad I was to leave.
