omg i totally forgot!! on wednesday, i flew for the first time!! and piloted a plane for the first time!!! OMG!!! lol it was so fucking cool... brI is taking lessons so he can get a pilot's license... he was allowed to have a passenger, so he invited me along :) ...when i got to the small airport where i was getting picked up (he and his instructor came up from cinci), they surprised me and told me that i would actually get to fly the plane when we stop down in cinci XDDD ...exciting... so we flew over campus, and brI purposely flew us near my house XD ...and we flew down south and flew over kings island XDDD ...then we landed at a small airport near cinci and me and brI switched seats XD ...the instructor told me what to do, and it was surprisingly easy... i positioned the plane and took off all by myself :D ...i did most of the steering on the way back up north... and getting the plane lined up and turned around, facing the landing strip... but i couldnt land it cuz thats just waaaay too complicated... hehehe... so the instructor (joe lol) landed it for me XDDD ...it was so much fun though!!! not as scary as i thought it was going to be... i figured id get bad motion sickness or that it would be bumpy, but i was fine :D ...pretty much awesome... definitely will go again XD

btw, i took like a million pictures so look for those on facebook and/or myspace eventually XD

kbye XD

so, pretty decent start i suppose... played euchre with the boys last night over a triple G and some cheesy chili dip and tortilla chips... ryan says "2 minutes til your birthday!"... that was pretty happy... he and the other guys wished me a happy one multiple times... and when we finally played enough hands for steve and hinkle to figure out who is driving to dublin on friday (1st hand (after team stinkle won, 10 hands to 9): ryan gets 1 trick to my FOUR, yes FOUR TRICKS, IM FREAKING AWESOME; 2nd hand: ryan and i get 3 tricks, and steve and hinkle each get one (after ryan intentionally advised me NOT to take the second to last trick so steve could take it and tie hinkle for most tricks that hand); 3rd hand: i deal, everyone passes, hinkle, being the first person to my left, calls spades, and immediately lays down the right, left, and ace LOL... suffice to say, hinkle is definitely not driving to dublin on friday XD ), i dragged ryan upstairs, all the while giggling to myself "it's my birthday!! we're going to bed NOW!! :DDDD"... steve was drunk as FUCK and it was hilarious XD ...he locked us out of ryan's room (its cool, he had his keys in his pocket still lol) so ryan ran downstairs and locked steve out of his room (and hid steve's keys in hinkle's room LOL)... when ry and i got back to his room, i walked in, not even a second away from starting to take off my pants, when i notice rustling in ryan's bed out of the corner of my eye... i laugh my ass off and make a big deal about how i was about to take my pants off, and steve's giggling face peeks out from under the covers and says how awkward that wouldve been... hehehehe... finally kicked steve out and ryan and i went to bed... he was decently nice and sweet and cute and funny as we went to sleep, so that was nice :)

when i woke up, i felt sick since i didnt get to bed til like 1:30 (and ryan had put a little too much alcohol in my triple G... intentionally lol) and ended up taking a half day... but i woke up to several happy birthday texts :) ...ryan cutely and nicely encouraged me to get up and actually go to work... and pulled me out of bed and stood me up straight and held me til i actually woke the fuck up... and started walking me toward my clothes so i could get dressed lol... i put on some pants and hit up the bathroom (which he walked me to, excitedly rambling off facts about why guitar hero world tour is gonna be so much sweeter than rock band 2) while ryan was downstairs making me a peanut butter and strawberry jam sammich and reheating some italian wedding soup, both of which were delicious XD ...he also poured me a glass of kool aid :) ...and then helped me carry shit out to my car... and stood outside to wave at me (usually he just stays inside and waves out the kitchen window)... happiness :)

got to work, checked my email, and i have like 25 facebook wall notices lol... and i got a very welcoming response to my IM to seth, who had planned on calling me after work to wish me a happy birthday XD ...got a few more happy birthday texts... and some plans in the works that may possibly involve ice cream cake and my family coming to lima XD

so we'll see how that goes... hooray for being 22 :D

its not as if ive stopped liking invader zim in ANY sense... but ive somewhat lost the sense of sheer glee that comes from watching it and buying/wearing/seeing/using the merchandise and doing anything else related to it... ive been a bit down about it since its creator seems to despise it :\ ...

well the sheer glee factor has been renewed... jhonen has finally updated www.questionsleep.com!!! hooray!!! :D ...ive found out that, in addition to his lj, he has a myspace, a twitter (whatever that is), and a flikr!!! i looked at his pictures and theyre of tattoos and his fan art favs... but to my surprise and enjoyment, there were plenty of zim things included :D ...some GORGEOUS tattoos... aaaand a school-house-style desk transformed into an amazing jhonen vasquez tribute XDDDD

so what does this mean?

this means that im POSSIBLY going to finally get my ears pierced so i can wear the zim earrings i have... its a huge maybe though cuz im not sure how much i'll actually care to mess with that kinda junk...

but more importantly...

this means that im PROBABLY going to get the tattoo ive been wanting! :DDD the irken symbol on the back of my neck... id get it in black... buuuuuut im concerned about that being not hidden enough... soooooo... i'll probably get a uv-reactive one so it only shows up under black light... but i'll need to ponder it a bit longer... im excited about zim again though!!! HOORAY!!!! :DDDDDDDDDD

i made a new friend today :) ...i reached for my cup of water, only to discover that someone had taken over! :O ...theres a little red mite living in my water cup now XD ...of course, ive stopped drinking out of it lol... so the cup is about 4/5 full... the little guy randomly wanders around, sometimes going down to the water and touching it with his feelers... hehehehe... hes so cute XD ...not sure what to call him... i took some pictures, so hooray for that XD ...if you can think of any names for him, let me know... i wonder if he'll be here tomorrow still :)

EDIT: i just looked at him and his back right leg is just like... up in the air... like that picture of josh in his stroller... hehehehe XD

this week is going well!! yay for family time!!! hooray for getting things accomplished!!

so friday, my separations test went AWFUL... i cried... when i got home of course lol... talked to my mom... still couldnt stop crying... ryan came over, came straight up to my room... was like hey hows it going... and i said "AWFUL"... and then he took a closer look at me and realized i had been bawling and his smile immediately left his face and he said "what happened!??" and i started talking about the separations test... so he hopped up on my bed and held me and we talked about it for awhile... he made me feel sooooo much better :) ...so then he helped me pack up some stuff and took everything downstairs for me... when my parents got there, he helped them take shit out to the truck while i was finishing packing stuff up... it took about 2 hours, but it wasnt TOO bad... we got dinner at deweys... it was a good time :) ...ryan and i walked to his house, hung out for a little bit, and i helped him pack for the week (he doesnt have to move out cuz hes living there over the summer XP ...but he went home for the week break in between co-op and classes) ...we went back to my house to finish getting everything and to clean up (the vacuum broke though X( ) ...and when we got back to his house, he drank/played guitar hero with hinkle and i showered and got ready to go to pat's party :) ...after i was ready, i went downstairs, did a jager bomb with the boys, and then headed over to pats... pats was fun! :D ...got to meet barb... even though he didnt actually introduce us... she just drunkenly told me the story of how pat made some guy fall into the house... hehehehe... she seemed nice though :) and is cute XD ...i had fun seeing pat and super joe... and playing rock band XD ...i started getting tired and headed back to ryan's... tman was playing GH when i got there and it was amusing... but shortly after i got there, we went to bed... it was happy XD

damnit... i didnt even really get anywhere with this update lol... but im super tired so im just gonna go to bed... i'll do the rest tomorrow XD
