I was out sick last week. I don't really know how sick I actually was but I literally could not get out of bed for two days. So this will be a little bit of a combo of two weeks of love.
Sweet text messages - Sometimes my friend, Terri, just sends me adorable text messages of love and support. Every time she does so, it is exactly what I needed to get through a crappy day. She's pretty great.
Fellow bloggers - My psych professor (there's a link in yesterday's post) has started a blog/podcast that will be full of geekery love. My blog has brought be great joy this year and I'm always excited to see what someone else has to bring to the scene.
Fury, fuck yes - Saturday night was the roller derby finals: The Fury vs. Manic Attackers. As Steph, Elise, Dann, and I settled in and watched our team's best player hobble to the bench on crutches, we were fairly certain we were in for a slaughter and four bouts in and 50 points down was a little scary. It was a nail biter and we screamed and shook our orange and white pom poms as hard as we could. And we were rewarded as The Fury skated their way to the cup. Fury, fuck yes!
Lit fest - Sunday was the Printer's Row Lit Fest. I headed down, met up with my cousin, Alysia, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and amazing offerings that my perfect city has to offer. And, to the lady who was bickering over a $5 difference for the extremely under priced, gorgeous hand-made leather journals, I hope you heard us making fun of you for being an asshole, learn to appreciate what we have.
Cousin love - As aforementioned, I spent Sunday with my lovely cousin, Alysia. Al works like ALL THE TIME and I have a ridiculous schedule of classes, lessons, and work so I almost never get to see her. But Sunday the stars aligned, I was headed down to her neighborhood anyway and she didn't have to work until 5. We had an insanely huge brunch at the Eleven City Diner, wandered the lit fest, made fun of the asshole lady, enjoyed the beautiful outdoors, lounged in her peaceful shrine of a room catching up, and just really had a wonderful day together.
Chats with old friends - I received a lovely unexpected message from my college roomie, Amy, on Tuesday. It has been way too long since we have talked and it was so good to hear from her and message back and forth for a bit. She's a truly inspiring person and it's great to get a little encouragement from her once in awhile.
People that get you - I caught a lot of flak for my nerd girl rant and I'm not going to say I'm sorry. I know there were a lot of people who think I was being a judgmental bitch but there were a select few (especially Victor) who just got exactly what the point of my post was. People are always welcome to question my opinions and disagree with me as much as they want but I am never going to renege on a post because someone else didn't understand how I felt.
Impending weather - You have never experienced the pure essence of joy until you have been in a library full of people frantically studying for finals when the university cancels all classes and exams due to inclement weather. I don't think the storms ever got as bad as they were supposed to last night but that collective sigh of relief and ecstatic joy from my fellow continuing ed students was worth the inconvenience.
