What is something that you NEVER EVER want to find when unpacking boxes from your recent move? EFFING WASPS. Those yellow jackets are durable little buggers. They were in that box with no food or water or whatever for two months and they survived! Gave me a small not actual Heart Attack!

This is my life right now. We were getting ready for our move and things just started happening so fast it almost felt out of control. And then we slammed into a wall that has delayed our departure by about a week now. There is nothing to do. We have none of our stuff, we are staying in a tiny “apartment” and we are just bored out of our freaking minds.

So I have decided that I think basmati rice is superior to long-grain white rice. I needed to tell someone. I’ve been sick today. I’m hoping tomorrow will be better :\

Another picture from http://burdge.tumblr.com/ As it seems to always happen, I have gone from updating on an almost daily basis to barely any updates. It’s been like a month since I last posted and I’m kind of ashamed. Reread the Percy Jackson books this last week. I’m about halfway through Son of Neptune. After this I should really get back to the stack of library books I have. And of course there are like 3 waiting to be picked up from the library as well. I shouldn’t be reading my own books! Haha. Anywho. Year 2011= 113 books. Averaging 2.17 books a week. This year I doubt I will do so well. What with this month going to packing and sorting through all of our junk. February going to spending time with family before we leave and March going to actually moving to Japan. Then we will see how things go once I am there. I have no clue what the library there will be like and I’m not super mega rich to be buying tons of books :\ I also think I want to teach myself the art of drawing. The above picture plus many others by Brigid Vaughn really make me want to explore it more.

It’s gonna suck if we move to Japan and nobody likes me :. It would make for a long 3 years. It stinks that I have doubts about friendships and distance makes clarifying more difficult. Rawr.

EDIT: Today really did start out fine. But now that I don’t even have a book for distraction I find myself thinking about friendships. I am hoping that Japan will be better for them than Utah has. One friend I made here was like my best friend here and I could talk to her about anything and she moved to Japan 8 months ago. I am excited to see her and her family again but I can’t help feeling like she no longer sees me as someone she wants to be friends with. Well, good friends with at least. I know it’s just insecurities on my part. It’s easy to have those when you live here. Too many people are fake and want a life filled with drama despite what they say. It makes it hard when you feel like you are the one putting most of the effort into a friendship. After awhile one “gives up” and then is left questioning how great of friendship it was to begin with. I feel like I am seen as a “needy” friend when in reality I spend most of my time alone. On the husbands last deployment, there were 2 months where I swear the main interaction with any one human was the 2 year old I babysat. Sure I saw people a the store to get groceries but the only person I saw for more than a half hour was that 2 year old. I know I still have some real friends back home but they all are doing something with their lives. I feel like I am at a standstill but at this point I am just waiting for the move. No point in getting a job for a month just to quit. I don’t know. I don’t think I could be satisfied with an isolated life. I know I need friends but I don’t think it’s needy to WANT friends. I just need people I can go to whenever I’m bummed and don’t want to talk to Husband about it. I love him and all but it is sometimes nice to have a night away from home. I feel like it is too much of an interference on the lives of my “friends” here for me to do that very often.  I don’t know. Stupid brain. Gah.

Fleeting sense of purpose today while I made these. Now I am back to blah. I need a soda to keep me awake tonight.

Back to my obsession with tigers. For now. All because of this series. Spent the day out and about because I don’t know what else to do. Helped a friend take care of her horse. More so I just provided company so she wasn’t alone. In return she went with me on my last pickup of the day at school. That really all there was to my day. :-\

I finished my book two days ago and it has left me with a bit of a void. I don’t know what to read next. I don’t have anything in particular to watch movie or tv show. Not a whole lot is going on on the internet to keep me entertained for very long. I am getting bored so easily but it drives me nuts not doing anything. This morning when I rolled out of bed I pulled something in my neck/back area and it made my day suck a little more than normal. Husband started his class for leadership today. It’s a mandatory 6 week course that he needs to pass before they will give him his promotion next year. Hopefully everything will go well. I have been running around the past two days trying to find Dutch-process cocoa powder. Apparently it is different enough from regular cocoa powder that I can’t substitute it with what I already have and I was really hoping to make these http://www.marthastewart.com/315766/peanut-butter-surprises Brawr.

Picture has absolutely nothing to do with my day. But I have barely done anything other than pick a prescription up and finish a book. Most days I have stuff to do and now that I have finished the book I don’t want to start another because I have one hopefully coming in the mail today. It has left me feeling jittery and a little antsy. Our car was broken again by tuesday and we had to leave it at the shop for 2 and a half days. Got it back last night and hopefully we will be done with fixing it for a while. We know it is a piece of crap car, and we hate putting money into fixing it but with the big move next year there is really no point of getting a new car :\ Hopefully the book will come today and I can calm down again.

Happy Halloween! We didn’t carve pumpkins this year so I give you this picture of one. We have learned that all the people that live off of the base bring their kids on base so there are almost more kids than actual houses in the neighborhood. Husband had to go buy more candy but it was a lot of the shitty left behind because it’s kinda shitty candy. We were not prepared at all. This week I have been discovering more and more fan art over at deviantart.com of the books that I really enjoy. It makes me wish I new how to draw and whatnot. /sigh.
