Today ended up being fairly decent. It's my grandma's birthday, so we all went over to my aunts house for lunch and swimming. My aunt has the best dog ever - a miniture poodle. She's getting up in years, but other from the gray hair you'd never know it. This dog is crazy about people. She gets so excited whenever anyone comes over; she dances around on her hind legs when people walk in, and as soon as someone sits down, SHOOOM! She leaps into his or her lap for petting and kisses, lol. What a great dog.

This is usually my favorite family gathering every year, because of the pool, good weather, and the dog, lol. But this year especially things were different. I've always been the black sheep of the family in a way, but this year I talked to everyone a lot more. I ended up telling stories from Utah, college, and such, and it was ok. I know at least one reader in particular will be proud of me for making progress with my family, lol. ;-)

Last night was pretty good too. Me and Derek went to Macados for awhile and talked about our respective shit, so it was good company. I keep forgetting, though, that Macados' beer listing consists of Bud, Bud Light, and Guinness. Kind of a lousy bar, but they've got great food. I got the best desert EVER (because, like the stereotypical girl, I eat ice cream when I get dumped) - it was a blondie brownie similiar to what they've had at Applebee's for years, but with Heathbar Crunch ice cream and caramel sauce. Soooo good. I want another.

To quote Jimi Haha, "I'm alright so far." It's just been a wierd fucking year so far. I'm still planning on heading to Lynchburg tomorrow, but now for different reasons than to just cry on Johnnie's shoulder. It's time to change. I'm fairly peaceful, but at the same time I won't deny that the last few months have brought me down a bit. I think back over the last few relationships I've had - I even know where each of these men are right now, and can imagine what they're doing - and I wonder...when is it my turn? When is something going to work out right for me? *sigh* I'll be ok in a couple of days, but I guess now is the time to feel it and let myself greive and move on.

Frankie has called several times today, but I obviously didn't have my phone on me while I was in the pool. I don't know why, because there's nothing left to say. I don't want to drag this out. We'll be friends, sure, just, damn, give me a few weeks to reassociate myself with you. When I come back to Blacksburg next I want to make sure I see you only as a friend, and not as my ex.

Anyhow, gonna take it easy tonight and get a good night's sleep before tomorrow. Now, all my friends: IM me and tell me I'm wonderful and that you love me, please? :-) Hehe...
