A note to the reader(s): This is not directed at any of my dear friends online. Do not take this personally. On that note, I love you, read away!



My puppy is quickly filling emotional spaces I had forgotten were empty.



School begins in about a month. It's time for change once again. I'm looking forward to school more than ever before. I feel as though I have purpose and motivation in my field of study. I'm pretty eager to learn and make new friends right now.



VENTILATION



Last night:

I took Duckie to my class of deaf folks who thoroughly enjoyed him. After that I went to a house I dog-sit for to meet a visiting doggie that I may have to take care of today. He didn't like me or Duckie one bit! He barked, snarled, and growled at us for half the time we were there. The other dog I'm used to watching was a perfect gentleman as always. MY puppy actually growled a tiny bit at HIM! I was pretty shocked and amused.



After this I wanted to go see Chris, but she was sleepy and didn't want Duckie to chew her bandages so I went home. Later a friend of ours called because he had finally made the time to come see our new apartment/us/duckie. While I was giving him directions he said he knew exactly where to go because he'd already been to Kent last week. He said it was to visit someone else. Had this been me, I would have stopped by our place before or after this shindig to at least say "hi" since I had already done the drive out....especially since the person he saw lives off of the same street we do. But he's not me now, is he.



I find myself not wanting those people around lately that had been good friends before we moved. For too long they've made more excuses than time for us. Aaron likes to refer to them as "conditional" friends. I'm not interested in having these. I'm more interested in making new friends and maybe some memories. Something to fondly hold on toat least commit to storageI don't think I've dug up past experiences in fondness for a long time. I've let go of the things that used to hold residence in my mind. The only memories I care to work to remember, involving people, are of Aaron and Chris and some of my brother or Melissa. The rest of the time I think of riding or getting pierced or of Europe. And these are only when my mind is melancholy. Okay, let's be honest...I think about piercing in every mood. But that's another story...for another entry.



Perhaps I'm having so many good experiences at present that I no longer feel the need to try to relive moments of happiness through memories. I think this is more the case than not. This summer has been pretty amazing. I thought earlier in the week that I had done nothing with my summer, but realized otherwise through a good conversation with Chris.
