I just got my very first HIV test. The health center is offering free quick tests to all students, faculty, and staff in honor of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness and Information Day. My results came back HIV negative just as expected. Oh, and every person who came in got a free movie pass as well so I was all smiles when I left.
The temperature only got down to 40 degrees last night which meant it was warm enough for me to spend the night at my apartment. I can't tell you how great it was to sleep in my own bed last night, watch Degrassi on The N, and play around on the internet without Michael asking me when I was going to be done. As much as I bitch and moan about my apartment, I miss it when I'm not there. I miss the comfort of my stuff; my books, furniture, sheets, plates, towels. It was nice being surrounded by the familiar and broken in.
Since I had to eat dinner and didn't want to buy anything that I would just have to let sit in my refigerator for the next two months and spoil, I took some advice from Greg and introduced myself to the world of instant oatmeal. Oooh mama, that was some good stuff. I didn't know that anything like instant oatmeal even existed. Just add hot water and consume, fascinating concept. Perfect food for people with no kitchen. I believe I've found a new food product to become obessessed with.
I went bra shopping yesterday. Night before last I was telling
kdc4evr how I hadn't purchased new bras in almost two years because I had no idea what size I was. When I gained all that weight my final year at Knox my bra size went from a 34C to a 40D. Since losing most of the weight two years ago my bosom has been between sizes and it made bra shopping a nightmare. The D cup was too big and the C cup too small, 40 inches too loose, 38 too tight. Everything I tried on felt and looked awful so I just didn't buy new bras for two years, opting instead to hang on to those 40Ds which were way too big and worn out for me. Well, yesterday I was successful! I bought four new bras that fit perfectly. They are actually the same brand and style as my old bras, only they are 38Cs. They feel all snug and supportive, and I'm not sagging or bouncing all over the place. It's fabulous!
I can't tell you how happy I am to be back to a C cup. I never got used to have D cup breasts. I contend that C cup breasts are the perfect size. They are big enough to be noticed, but small enough to be unobtrusive.
It was really great to talk to
kdc4evr on Tuesday. She gets off of work just as my free night minutes kick in so it works out nicely. We talked for two hours while she went grocery shopping and commuted home. Sounds like wedding preparations are moving along. We both think
risaypaz should ask Bryce to be her date. She is in agreement. We are all hoping he'll say yes. I haven't seen Bryce since my graduation back in 2003. It would be good to see him again.
I've been missing people a lot lately. I called
gender_euphoric last night and left a message on his voicemail. I want to call Tina, haven't spoken to her since she and Jessica were out her in November. I want to know if she got her grad school applications in on time. I want to know how Libby is doing. I want to send presents to Adrienne and D. I want to write a letter to Liz, and maybe even Will. I need to email Meghan, Agnes, Christopher, and Gemma. And I need to get in touch with James, Ruby, and Elizabeth so we can hang out. I don't keep in close enough contact with my friends. I want to do better; I want to talk to them with more regularity and see those that I can as often as I can. I miss having people in my life.
Though Greg has become the center of my social life I've tried really hard to make sure I don't become one of those girls who totally ignores all her friends the moment she gets into a serious relationship. I don't think my behavior has changed much. The only difference is now it's harder to get a hold of me on the weekend. Now weekends are Greg and Carla time. Other then that I'm still just as lazy and inaccessible as I've always been.
I don't understand people who ignore their friends in favor of their significant other. They tick me off. I understand that your S.O. can and should be a top priority in your life, but that doesn't mean you can't have others. Take Libby for example. I hardly ever talk to the girl. You know why? Because if her husband is home all her attention has to be on him. If we're in the middle of a conversation and her husband walks in it's, "Sorry Carl, the hubby's home. Love ya, bye." I don't get it! They LIVE together. He will be there once we've finished our conversation, there's no need to cut it short. I'm sorry but friends deserve more respect then that.
I don't want my friends thinking I don't appreciate them. I want to show them the devotion they are all so worthy of. It just seems like sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day to be as involved as I'd like to.
