Headlights pointed at the dawn.

I'm a 24 25 year old student and this blog is about my adventures as I go back to college and do my best to love each day.

Sleepless

I'm not even a little tired, so here is what's been going on with me:
1. Rusty was vomiting what seems to be, essentially, poop for about 12 hours
2. I got smacked on the head with a chair by some moving company guy, and if you have never had a head injury I do NOT recommend it.
3. I spent Sunday night with Woody's family and it was so much fun, I love them all. I always wanted to be a part of a real family - nothing against my own of course but I hate being an only child and i have always wanted a big family; I finally feel like I have that now.
4. There was a fire in the apartment complex where Woody & I were hoping to move this summer and all I can think about is how that sucks for me because they will have less available units.
5. I am done with midterms but tomorrow I am meeting with my senior sem advisor (who has now addressed me as "Mr. Montgomery" in multiple emails) so he can tell me what a crappy job I've done on my paper do far.
6. Speaking of tomorrow, I am also going to the chiropractor which is glorious and gives me something to look forward to.
7. I've never, ever been happier than I am right now.

Love of my life

Me: Whatcha doing?
W: Nothing. Just taking a nap until bed time. And then I will go to sleep.

Do not do a balk please

My dad emailed me this last summer, and in honor of the approach of spring training and more importantly, baseball season, I wanted to share it:

Balks are so complicated. If you sat me down and asked me to write out, to the best of my understanding, the Major League Baseball rule book, the section for "balks" would look something like this.

BALK RULES! IMPORTANT!
1. You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.
1a. A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of

Ping Pong & Baseball

So on Friday, Woody came home with a tournament sized ping pong table. Oh hell yes. We spent the rest of the night constructing it, it folds and stores, we can't wait to have people over to play, but we've already played some ourselves. Super fun.

Also - I'm running a fantasy baseball league with a bunch of my friends and I set everything up today and I am sosososososo excited.


Also, there's been Graduation-related drama, will update later. Right now I'm playing video games with my man :)

Out of State Update

Out of State LPG: I'm ahead 17-16.

The real difference here is that I have Alaska and I think it'll be awhile until he finds another one.

Although we have realized the game can't end until we go out of state - together - and one of us finds Virginia.

Sanity

These decapitated bear toys have me really starting to question the sanity and possible anger issues of our favorite little black dog, Rusty.

Tell me Kristin Bell is not the cutest thing you have ever seen. I love her as an actress - I watch all of her movies (and Veronica Mars is Phoebe's favorite TV show!) and this just makes me love her more. I'm sure by now you've all seen this clip but I don't even care, I adore her.

Mr. Montgomery

My senior seminar professor just sent me an email addressed to "Mr. Montgomery" and there are only three conclusions I can draw from this:

1. He doesn't remember who I am and guessed I was a man
2. He thinks I look like a man
3. Typo

While I understand that the third choice is most likely the answer, am I completely irrational for assuming it is still one of the first two options?
