What's up dudes?

My good friend here is moving back to the USA. It makes me so sad. She was my best friend here and she's leaving me! Well we helped her move to the beach a month ago or so and she left a shit ton of her stuff at our tiny apartment. And I mean tiny apartment. It was okay though, she's our friend so I found a space behind the puppy's bed and shoved it all back there. But then a few days ago she wrote me that she wants me to go into her bags and find her regluator (SCUBA equipment) and figure out what brand it is. I mean that's not that big of a request, but I'm just sort of like... uggghhh. I'm already holding onto a huge amount of her heavy shit that I finally got put away and now I have to drag it out, go through all her bags to find her regulator. I've conveniently ''forgotten'' about this message. And if she sends me another one asking me to do it again I will be very apologetic, tell her how it slipped my mind, and immediately go do it. But for now... meh.

A friend/cowoker of mine just told me the director's dog is obviously dying and should have been put down a long time ago. The school is right behind the director's house and so the dogs are always walking around. I haven't seen them in a long time, but evidently one of the dogs (they're both over 12 years old. One is like 17!) has a bloody oozing muzzle and is stick thin. My friend thinks the dog is starving to death because he can't eat because of his mouth. I think she's going to go talk to the director and tell her to put him down. This is one of the things that bothers me here. People just don't take care of their pets. I know that's a huge generalization, but it's true. They leave the dogs locked up to be used as alarm systems. They never walk them, never take them to the vet, and obviously don't pay enough attention to know when it's past time to put them down. Sigh..

But on to nicer things... My uncle wrote me yesterday about the wedding! He had planned to have ''the coolest dude in the world'' marry us, but he might be on some adventure at the time. So my uncle says he has a few back ups, including an actual minister who he says is ''not too preachy''. Perfect! My SO and I are not religious and would prefer a non religious ceremony, but I feel like a few ''God''s thrown in won't ruin anything. As long as he doesn't ask us to pray it'll be cool.

Also my other uncle who lives in this town works for a taxi company and got me and my SO a free ride to the airport in Denver! The town where we'll be going is about a 4 hour ride away so the taxi tickets are like $80 per person. My dad and his wife will be giving us a ride into the town when we get there, and my uncle totally hooked us up with a ride back. He's such a good guy. I'll buy him some wings and beer and he'll be happy.

My sister has agreed to play the ukulele as I walk down ''the aisle''. I'll probably have to request that she doesn't sing though... I promised my SO she wouldn't.

Also, since I've been thinking about my friend making me hold all her shit, I feel awful about my mom having to bring so much for me! I've been trying to keep a list so that she doesn't forget anything important. She'll forget something, I just don't want it to be something super important.

-Petticoat
-Shoes
-Cover up (that nicole is sending me!!!!!)
-heart tights
-veil material
-my SO's ring
-Sharpies
-my body jewelry and gauged earrings
-tax transcripts
-sworn affidavits
-good mustard
-grits

and still stuff I need to buy:

-SO's present (will probably get him the new Stephen Colbert book, he's my SO's hero)
-my dust mite killing laundry additive and new anti allergy mattress and pillow covers (my allergies have been KILLING me lately and I know it's because my mattress cover is all screwed up)

Whew! Like I said, poor mommy!

Still need to finish my bouquet by adding the material on. I just have no idea how to do it. I've strung all the fabric ''flowers'' together and I might just slop out a lot of glue, push them on and hope they stay.

My SO still needs to get his outfit. And propose to me! Goddamit I forgot about that! I told him he needs to propose. I guess it either won't be with my actual ring (since it's in the USA) or it will be with my ring when we get to Colorado. So hopefully that'll happen soon.

Anyways, just trying to delay doing shit at school that I don't feel like doing. I'm so ready for this school year to be over I can barely stand it.

Have a good day!

(And is anyone else having this blog posting issue? Every time I try to post a blog it has logged me out of the system. So I have to log back into LFAD then go back to my blog and re-submit. It's frustrating.)
