Its fascinating. I was really artsy with it. I'm impressed with myself.
I seemed pretty smart and with it. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I grow more and more immature each year in some ways. Oh well.

Corner Of Your Heart - Ingrid Michaelson

There's a corner of your heart for me.
There's a corner of your heart just for me.
I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart.
Just to stay in the corner of your heart.

There is room beneath your bed for me.
There is room beneath your bed just for me.
I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed.
Just to sleep underneath your bed.

There's one minute of your day.
There's one minute of your day.
I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day.
Just to occupy one minute of your day.

Just to sleep underneath your bed.

Just to stay in the corner of you heart.

Today was the first summery day I've had since I've been back really. How pathetic is that? But it was really great - woke up, called in to work, went to the pool with Allison and Kim and chatted about things I really feel like I have no business chatting about - real estate prices, marriage, babies, graduating, etc. Aghhh I'm only 21, right? I'm a baby! I don't feel grown up yet. Only 2 months ago I was traipsing around in Wales, carefree and totally unburdened with thoughts of the future.  I shouldn't dwell on that, but I can't help it. I think it was honestly the best time of my life. I hope moving into Mercer gets my mind off of how much I miss that place and the people.

Anyway the pool was fun, regardless. Sometimes some inane, meaningless, girltalk/chatter is so relaxing and soothing. And was perfect for the hot, sunny day. Got burnt as usual. And I borrowed a good book from Allison and have almost finished it already. Barely did anything else since I got back from the pool, pathetically.

I neeeeed to read more! Oh well, at least I got one book in before school started. Its a nice distraction from Wales and grad school and school starting and money and alllll that jazz.

Still missing Swansea like crazy....

I miss it everyday. And its almost a physical thing. Like there is an actual ache in my chest where my flatmates and goofy Swansea things should be. 

I get to talk to Owain like everyday, and that helps. It makes me happy. But it makes me sad, really really hopelessly sad, to think that I won't get to see him for six months. Not til Christmas. And even then its only if I can raise enough money for a roundtrip flight out there. I pray everynight for it. I love that goof. He's my best buddy - and in a different way than my best girlfriends here. First of all, cause he's a guy duh. Secondly, I dunno...I can just hang out with him for ages on end and not get sick of him. Thirdly, he's fun to flirt with. ;) The future scares me cause I don't like to think of a future without my best bud in it. 

Its not like being home is miserable. But I'd gotten so used to living with a ton of people. It was fun - the noise, the gossip, the goings-on, the immature pranks. Our block was like a little family. Even when I had nothing to do, I was content over there. But when I got home I dove right in to responsibility. Of course that will make things hard. And the fact that none of my best friends are anywhere near me. Alli is in Rome. Allison is in NC. Lani is in Augusta. And Allison N has been gone a whole lot. Kristine's in Tennesee. I want them all here!!! I want to celebrate being 21 with them. I want to chill out with them and have funnnnn. 

I love being at home with my family. They're great, as always. My dad's a funny gooftball, and my mom is sweet and a little neurotic, but sweet. My cats are all cute retards and fun to lay around with. 

But I still miss Swansea. And I'm not sure I want to stop. Cause if I stop, that means I'll be as happy here as I was there. And I want a clear division or something. I want to know where I belong. I don't want it to be confusing and vague. But in the meantime, I want to be a rich celebrity who can jet over to the UK and back whenever they want. I want that! 

I guess all I can do right now is save money and pray. So that's what I'm doing.
