Jersey: Almost Home Port.

I arrived at the grandparents Friday afternoon with my boxes and we hugged and brought them upstairs to my guest room. I'm planning on staying there for about a month or so or until my parents move up. I'm only going to live with my parents until I find a place with Fran and Adam. I'm going to find a job the minute I move there so I can save for a place and move in hopefully by August. Sounds realisitic, right?

As for the cosmo school... Second thoughts. I'm going, but don't know exactly when. Money is top priority for me right now, and I can always go to school whenever I'm ready. It's free. It's worth consulting the school while I'm up here now though and enrolling so that it is there for me.

I stayed at my aunt Lauren or "Bubba" and Amy's house last night and that's who I talked to about this. I love being able to get advice from her because she's successful. I had a lot of fun at her house. We went to a "post-pwnd" St. Patrick's Day Parade and I met up with her neighbor, Bob, and his Chinese adopted niece. Cutest thing in the world. Made me want to adopt even more. Got mushy looking at her and talking to her. Such a smart kid.

After the parade, Bubba and Amy and I stopped back at the house for a bit then went back downtown to Century 21 and shopped there. She bought me two really cute dresses there. One was navy with anchors all over it! The other was kinda "sea"-through (Allie's happy enough to start using sailor puns again!) with black and white stripes all down it. Tight yet flowy. Adorable. Then we went to the town over to feed her friend's cats and then went to a couple other stores. I bought a super cute pair of white stilettoes there. We managed to get everything done in the town over in about a half hour since we had to be bcak at a certain time to take care of her neighbor's dog! Yeah, we're good.

After that, Bob came over with his weird drunk friend. He kept telling me I'm beautiful which made things really scary and awkward. He kept staring at me drinking my drink when we were all out back seated at the black iron table. I couldn't even sip my drink anymore because he was just soo creepy and I felt soo violated! So I covered my face with the fur lining of my green plaid trench coat and awkwardly waltzed into the house.

Finally, they had left, and as we walked out of the house to go to a roller derby, Bubba locked the front door (which she never does). That's how bad of a vibe we got from him.

Roller derby was soo fun! The names of these girls were so amusing. One was named "Assault Shaker", another was "Felter Snatch", and another one was "Curry Plowdher". I've always wanted to be in a roller derby league, but I was always afraid it would interfere with ballet. Plus, you have to be 18 for insurance purposes. When I move up, I'm totally joining. I came up with the title "Assassin Titties" for myself. I think it fits. Then I can have a theme song for myself. Wait, two! One by DJ Assault and the other by Three 6 Mafia. <3

We had to leave early because Amy ended up having to go to her aunt's down the shore and when she got home, the house was locked and she couldn't get in. We told her why it was locked and she was like "Really?" (usual expression you get from people, ya know...).

We went out back and they made a fire. We talked about what I plan on doing with my life when I move up here. Very interesting, but kinda scary at the same time. I mean, once I move here, my life will change dramatically. Everything, I mean everything, will be completely different. Lots of pros and cons to weigh out there. More pros but pros can have some cons in them as well... but let's be optimistic. At least I'm moving there for a more responsible change, and I'm not being forces somewhere to be enslaved. I made this choice, so I must live with it. Yeah the first few weeks will feel weird, but after i get use to things and I have money, things will be great. =]

I'm looking forward to all of this, but I'm glad I have one last month down there to spend with a couple people. Can't wait to see how things will end up late summer. Hope everything works out.
