the longest I've lived.

this, this is the longest I've lived...- duh-, you might say.  or -me too!- to which I would reply, well, if only you'd let me finish, I could explain.

 

this is the longest I've lived in one place.  well, since going off to college, anyhow.

 

dorm rooms, the KD house, moving home for breaks, living at my g&g's after Adam usurped my room, TU apartments with a miserable-to-live-with but not actually miserable person (the nay-sayers j, t and l were so right!) then moving to NC, living in Chapel Hill for seven months, Durham for nine months, Raleigh for five months and now--now! I've lived in Morrisville for nearly twelve months (on Saturday it will be) AND we just agreed to live there for a total of twenty-seven, and that makes me gloriously happy.  Well, that and the new oven I think they'll be giving us since our old one is still all tilt-ee. :)

 

I'm quite pleased with our decision.  Otto and I celebrated with yummy mexican food and a pitcher of beer on Saturday.  And then we saw Pinback at Cat's Cradle.  I hate Chapel Hill, but I loooove their concerts.  Plus, I was excited to see a zombiedefense.org sticker on the paper towel dispenser in the ladies room.

 

And, though I promise I took David's advice, I think I've made a decision.  Well, for now, anyhow, and by not thinking about it.  It occurred to me (in the shower, as all good ideas do) that if I got an MBA, no matter how lucrative the degree might be, my heart just wouldn't be in it.  I'm a nerd.  Down to the core--it's even in my bones.  So Materials Science and Engineering seems like the degree for me.  It ups my nerd quotient, and I like that. 

 

is this definite?  surely you jest.

do i know what all this decision entails? heck no.

but am i relieved that it is made, at least for now? you betcha!

 

only 32ish hours until I should be in Tulsa, tasting the goodness that is mazzio's pizza and blue bell's tin roof icecream! yippee! I can't wait to see everybody!
