Times, They Are A Changin'....

What a last few weeks! Michelle and I ventured to Iowa City last weekend for Homecoming. It was, as always, quite the adventure! (Though not quite as drama filled as usual... there was still drama, just not as much.) We left on Thursday night so we could go to the Field House for $2 mini pitchers. I was a little worried about this due to the fact that last time I went to the Field House for $2 mini's, I passed out with my head in Jenny's garbage can :-P This time I limited myself to one mini of Long Island (as opposed to 4...), but still wound up with Trevor and Michelle carrying me home. Friday was much more tame. We got Never Ending Pasta Bowl at Olive Garden and chilled until the parade/concert that night. I made it through the parade and Augustana, but my numb toes and noes forced me to flee back to Jenny's and missed the Temptations. Saturday was game day and FREEZING! I think we all packed on about 10 pounds when we got dressed for the day! (and had plenty of alcohol to keep us warm!) We tailgated and watched the game at CJ's house, which was mildly awkward seeing as CJ wasn't there, but we made it through! We went to a bar, which I think was called Sidelines, that night after the game and I somehow became some random girl in the bathroom's new favorite person by informing her that girls should never buy guys shots... and told her my name was Molly Connolly- this made her feel the need to have a picture taken with me. I'm probably tagged in her facebook photo album as "Kick-ass girl named Molly Connolly we met in a bathroom in Iowa City..." We then went to Ben's friend Ben's apartment, where I proceeded to successfully ignore Sam the whole night, and be bitten by Trevor (who suddenly decided he was Edward Cullen afterall... I still have a bruise...)
Now all plans are on for Halloween! I am going as Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family! I have a show in Orangeville that night, but am FULLY planning to make up for lost time when I get back to town!
Katie moves home on Thursday!!!!! Yay! I have missed having that crazy June Von Lichtenstein in my life!
Life is changing. I can't shake the feeling that my life is still in a make-over period, despite the fact that things are finally settling down in my world... time will tell...

Ramblings...

I am sick of winter already and it hasn't even started yet! It is cold, rainy, and windy and I am still waiting for summer! What happened to July? I missed it!
It hasn't been my best week. I think with Forbidden Broadway done (for now), I've had too much spare time on my hands. Spare time isn't a good thing for me. It gives me too much time to feel lonely. I love having my friends around, but they aren't the same and having a guy around. I know, Melissa is doing the whole "I want to be single for a while" thing, and that's great! But I did the "i want to be single for a while" thing for the better part of 19 years. I didn't care for it much then, and I certainly don't care for it much now. It's not that I want to date someone just to date someone. There is no point to that. I just wish I could find a man who I enjoy spending time with and doing things with. (And maybe someone who wouldn't mind snuggling up to watch a movie!) Why is it so hard to find guys like that? It's so frustrating. I am ready to meet someone. I'm not ready for anything serious, but finding someone to date would be nice. This is much harder than I remember it being.
Other than my man-woes, not much else is new hear! I had my first marketing meeting at the Grand last night. I didn't feel like I had much to contribute at this point, but I'm keeping my eyes out and my mind open to new ideas that can bring business in. I am REALLY looking forward to going to Iowa City next weekend for homecoming! I really need to get away and cut lose a bit. Mostly, I need to get out of town for a while! I'm stressed!
