Moved In

I think I'm going to leave this laptop on this side of the bed tonight. It'll keep me from rolling to that side when I wake up in the morning and tipping it. Lol yea, it's true there's a ghetto part of my room...two really...a shelf that you can't put anything on lol. But oh well, I can't live in luxury forever haha. I'll look for a twin bed on craig's list. Or just bring up my matress from slo or something. This futon is the lumpiest thing I've ever slept on, other than a rock under a tent.

The good news is I finally moved into my place and have most of my stuff set up. Course I find out I'm missing a bunch of stuff that I can definitely use...like a room lamp (thank goodness I brought my desk lamp otherwise I'd be doing everything in the dark right now). But it's all good. I'm not used to a smaller room, but I'd say this is a good size 10 x 12...I've just been spoiled all this time. I spent some time to put together my little ikea desk. I'd bought it on a whim almost a year ago and it was just sitting in a box in my room in slo, and I was scratching my head as to why on earth I bought it even though it was so cheap...haha well I'm glad I did.

Next is looking for different bed options...maybe a twin? And then looking up housing for next year in San Luis Obispo. I really want to live off of Highland. And as long as the place is clean, I don't mind living with new people.

Anyways, this entry is all over the place. I've been talking about this evening so far, but perhaps I should un-confuse my future self and start from the beginning...yesterday.

I went over to Russell's house to play some nintendo wii and drink some margaritas. Got a call from Chris and Alex who's house I had checked out up in San Jose saying come on over to their Cinco de Mayo party...haha I really didn't think they'd remember me. Ebrah called me to say him and Tyler were back in town safely from the river. And I drank margaritas and looked like a silly goof playing nintendo wii haha. Fun times. I went back home, ate some tacos with Andrew and his friends Nathan and Jim, played some Jenga, and talked to Adrienne who'd come over to pick up Jeff to watch Spiderman 3. I wanted to go, but I'd already seen it lol...but yea that's how good it is, I wanted to go again! I went over to Ebrah's house for about a half hour instead to just hear the stories from the river and say hi. They were tired...so was I. I went home and decided to take a nap. I had expected Jeff to call later that night after the movie, but he never did. :( I guess he just came home and crashed too. It was like...1am by that time lol.

I woke up for church on Sunday to go to the early service. It was a good reminder. Love your friend, love your neighbor, love your enemies, and the people you can't stand, and the ones who make you hurt, and the ones who...well you get the idea. I get mad with people sometime, but I couldn't really think of anyone that I couldn't, or didn't love. That's a good thing. I guess I can work on those times when I may not love someone for even a short period of time. It's not easy. To be a good Christian and follow his footsteps...it might be the hardest thing. Bugs me sometimes when I hear someone say that oh, you're Christian, life's easy for you.

Tyler made me lunch today...ravioli and smoothies mmm. We talked and hung out and then Ebrah came home and sadly to say in my hindsight vision that I got distracted by him and didn't give Tyler the attention I should have. Tyler did just make me lunch and I had come over to hang out with him before I left. I didn't expect Erik to come home. That's one effect of Ebrah I have to work on lol. Bah. Friendships are hard. He reminds me of everything I want and...can't have. But yea...let's not talk about that. I'm moving on remember? New city, new town, new people.

I met up with Joey in Watsonville and we drove up to Aptos to meet with people from the Chamber. They were really cool and had this dog, that played fetch for almost an hour straight. How she never got tired of it, I have no idea. I've learned next time...don't throw anything for her! Lol. Our Senior Project is on it's way, though there's going to be a lot of meetings and collaborations in the near future. I might join them every once in a while and volunteer my time to help them plan and host events around the city. That would be cool. Also, I have to mention this amazing find that I came across...a farmer's market selling produce and goodies. So cheap! And yet so good! Those strawberries, oh my. Haha I remember when I used to hate strawberries. I changed my mind in 2003. I used to hate pineapples too. I changed my mind about that a few weeks ago lol...right before I left for this coop actually. Anyways, the market is at the intersection of the 152 and College Drive in Watsonville. I've put it on my map. Go check it out.

And that brings me right back to the beginning. I moved in, and the cats just hung out with me and wandered around all my stuff, made themselves comfortable in my bed, and jumped into my lap to be pet. They're probably the friendliest cats who want the most attention I'd ever seen. I love em already.
