James' Ramblings

Whoa, so, a lot has happened again since the last time I wrote. It's been a while. I have good reasons though. I wrote this blog at home, as a matter of fact, saved it on disk, and took it to work to upload it to my entries. So...right now I have no idea what day was the last time I wrote, so I'm going to update you. Laura and Ashley left for camp on June 2nd...THAT sucked. It was probably the saddest day for a long time for me. Laura and I hung out all night the night before and the morning was even harder. We both cried a lot. I'm embarassed to let that one out. Anyway, we are going to communicate to each through letters since she can't make calls at camp NOR will she have internet access. How else can it blow? I got the new dog, named it Magellan and he's doing quite well in the new home. He's learned to pee outside, not go upstairs, etc. We're doing great. The house is empty though. Not furniture, food, etc. empty...just...I want company. I guess Camp Chief Ouray isn't too far from here, only a couple hours from what Laura told me, so I am happy about that. I am going to go up there every chance I get. I can even go up though for the first time until about 2 1/2 weeks from now since they have training or something and they don't have weekends off the first two weeks. More bad news huh? Tell me about it. I've been trying to keep myself busy since they've left, but it's really not working. I miss Laura so much. I can't stand to be away from her for more than 1 or 2 weeks at a time and now it's the entire Summer?!?! I have been getting lunch with Zach though up here in Fort Collins. The first time we went to Wok and Roll and the second to Schlotzsky's Deli. I'm sure we'll go again sometime this week. The house is still packed with things to get unpacked though. We only managed to move Laura's lower half of the desk before they left and nothing big of Ashley's. Kinda sucks. I'm going to try and convince Rod to help me move the rest of the shit. What else...work is going good. Busy lately, which is a first and it's stuff that takes quite a while. I need to keep myself entertained at work somehow. Also, the site that Jesse and I were working on is finally up and running. EliteStudia.com is the URL and please visit! We're hoping to make some money on this deal. Apart from copying a few hundred dollars worth of software at work, namely Macromedia stuff, that's about the bulk of the news and sadness. I'm going to Rod's work here in about 20 minutes. I took Magellan to the vet today and fuck it was a lot. $80 or so with an exam and all the shots. Unbelievable how much they charge. I don't even think I have that much money lying around. I just wrote a check and hoped that it's not going to bounce. That would suck. I should be fine though. I can emphasize enough how much I'm missing Laura. I've written 3 letters and it's been 2 week days. I'm going nuts. I have been watching so much Food TV that I'm going insane. That's a good thing though, because although we cancelled the cable 4 days ago, it's still there. We're hoping that it'll stay like that for a long time. Also, Friday is a glorious day because I'm getting cable internet installed in the house! I can't go for more than a week without the internet. That's almost as bad as missing Laura. It actually would be if I cried over not having the internet. I cried a little today though thinking about Laura. I hope she's having a blast at camp though, as much as I hate camp. But yeah, the blog will become regular again after Thursday and I'll BET you that I'll write every night bitching about me missing Laura. Oh well...I can't wait to see her. I saw a documentary on the Goo Goo Dolls and I learned a lot about the hardships they went through. I haven't gotten a haircut and I desperately need to. Maybe tomorrow? Nah, I have no money for that kind of luxury. Well, I think I'm going to say goodbye for now with a tribute to Bob Marley (I'm listening to him right now). So, stay healthy...I know I wont'!
