You stay left; I'll go right.
It looks like I’ll be getting a new car by the end of the weekend hopefully. Kyle’s dad found a ’94 grand prix which is white and only has about 80 thousand miles on it. Not bad. Plus he’s not gonna charge me more than what he got it at the auction for. I’m so excited to have a car. More than that, I’m excited to have a car that will get me to see Kyle once in a while when he’s back in Illinois. That drive the other day to Carbondale made me realize just how far that will be. Suck. We made it okay through last semester but part of me worries that a lot of the reason that was so easy (and really it wasn’t that easy) was because we hadn’t gotten used to spending all of our time together. I knew then that I always wanted to be with him even when i wasn’t which made it easier to be apart from him but now I find it harder and harder to be separate even for just a few days. We both have school to finish and I know that will keep us busy, plus all of our friends will be around which will make it easier too… I just don’t know how simple it will be this time to just see each other as much as possible.
Gizmo is all moved into my apartment now and things are very cute. He has a vest/harness that i’m getting him used to so that he can be out more without being in that ball. He just wears it for about 5 minutes a day or so and then he takes it off and I chase him around the apartment. Lol. What a goof. Logan enjoys chasing him with me… it seems to me that Logan doesn’t view him as prey. If anything, Logan is intimidated by him a smidge… but when the little fella is loose, Logan likes to point out to me where he’s hiding. He’s only gotten free three times which isn’t so bad and I find him not that hard to catch. A play pen is certainly in his future though. That way he can hang out in the living room without having to be in a ball that he slams into stuff. Goofy. While Logan has proven to be a good helper when it comes time to find the Chin, he’s also not very aggressive when the critter is subdued. For example, the other day i was on the couch holding Gizmo who was on his leash and Logan was asleep at the foot of the futon. Gizmo jumped onto the futon and then peered down at the cat for a few until he decided to leap… onto the cat. Logan stood up and looked at me like “who the fuck does he think he is?” and then retreated to under the couch. Last night, Gizmo was in his ball and exploring my bedroom… by which i mean, slamming himself into all of my nice things… and Logan needed to use his litterbox. So logan climbs in and Gizmo decides to investigate and slams himself into the litterbox. Logan was midpoop so there wasn’t anything he could do about it. I picked Gizmo up and moved him to the other part of the room. Logan’s still not sure what to do about the ball that plays with him rather than the other way around. Hah. I’m sure Gizmo will figure out the landscape of my room here pretty soon and then he’ll be better off. It’s such a fun adventure. And I think Logan likes having someone to play with.
Kyle got an upstage today. I can’t wait to see it.
Josh was mentioned in the Washington Post today. They linked to one of his YouTube videos. How sweet is that?
Also, I heard from Erik today. In other quasi-political news 🙂 haha. It was sweet to hear from him, it’s been like forever since we talked… probably basically since we went out for ice cream together with Becky and Joe and Cara last June. He’s supposed to call later so we can talk better than over txt message. Hooray.
