a moment, please

i am now going to take a moment to indulge in self-pity. it's my blog, i can do whatever i want:

i miss my friends. horribly. terribly. horrendously. i do not like this "graduating and moving away from everybody" thing one little bit. email and scanning blogs just doesn't cut it. i am beginning to take lonely to a new level, and i do not handle that very well. it causes me to contemplate befriending scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells.

ok, i'm done now. i was looking through facebook pictures a few minutes ago and had a sudden wash of friendlessness. also, how in the world did i miss the fabulous, insane, nutcase-caitlin-dominated photo shoot after graduation? all i can say is, i'm really looking forward to the rach'n'hansasaur wedding.

i hate not having high-speed internet at home. and having a father who only hooks up the only computer which connects to the internet at home at bizarre times. i'm currently sitting in the library, and i have approximately 13 minutes before the frazzled library worker comes to kick me off so more homeless people can check their stock portfolios.

life has been uneventful. went to busch gardens last week. much fun was had by all. we didn't do anything exciting for the 4th, just went to watch the fireworks over the rappahannock. seeing them here is a much different experience than seeing them in D.C. there's a much higher percentage of shirtless rednecks with beer cans down here. we saw some pretty amazing tattoos. i've been trying to pack stuff to send to n.c. with my parents at the end of the month. i officially move the second or third week of august. strange. i also officially have too much stuff.

i did buy a large (7 foot tall) bookcase. my first major purchase of my post-college life.
