dah, ok lessee, friday night i came back to my apt and watched firefly; malachi and kimberly came by after firefly to drop off an angel tape but they didn't stay so long. saturday i got up early (7am) to put this clamp on the subaru cause i thought it was missing one; the smallest clamp i had wouldn't fit. did some finalizing of the data for the apartment search while waiting for julie get here. she was late but none of the places we were gonna wind up going to opened up till 10 (i'd thought some opened at 9) so we were ok. she went ahead and gave me my b-day presents since she won't be able to see me wed night. i got two xmas ornaments: one was of minnie (to represent julie in what is now a set of ornaments) and another mickey/minnie one where they're smooching in a little house. and she got me two depeche mode cds: one was an interview disc from the exciter era and the other was this odd promo thing with a bunch of odd/rare remixes mixed together. i enjoyed them all very much, but it was time to set out. i'm _really_ not going to go into detail here cause it would take pages to go over all the minutia. suffice to say we went to 4 complexes and got an apartment with 1120 sq ft. ..it can either be a one bedroom/one den, or two bedroom depending on how you work it. so we'll be using the den as my computer room obviously. arbors is one road up from where i'm at now on the same side of the road. the lease should take affect on nov 22; i pay no rent till jan 1 there, which is handy since my lease here at bell hollow runs out on jan 3 or 4. so i'm gonna start moving the small shit over there as soon as i can get some boxes. julie and i ate lunch at camino real before getting the apt, and after the deal was done we watched last week's angel from the tape kimberly dropped off. then juile went back to work on this play/theatre thing she's tied up with (hence the no julie on my b-day). um, i went to wal mart after she left to get some clamps and two money orders to pay my speeding ticket (i have to pay to two seperate places since i went to court). it was really fucking crowded at wal mart, which i didn't expect at 6ish on a sat night. *shrug* ah well. er, so i get back here and do a whole lot of nothing. honestly i can't even remember. talked to doug some..OH! i talked to mom on the cell phone for nearly 3 hours. yeah, that was it. sunday morning i watch lock, stock, and two smoking barrels cause i was in the mood for something english. 'round lunchtime i go out to work on the subaru and finally at this point realize the 'hose' that dind't have clamp wasn't really a hose but a metal pipe that had a rubber covering...i could have sworn that it went into the radiator before, but with the sun on it i could see that it turned right as it hit the radiator and went out to the front of the car. *sigh* so i go back in and wash a load of whites and continue to do nothing. julie was gonna work at the desk (RA stuff) till 3 and then come over here. the plan was to watch harry potter: chamber of secrets, but it wasn't playing at either of theatres right next to me. and it was cold out, so we decided to just eat out and watch angel and the buffy and firefly i taped for her. i was in a bit of a grumpy mood at the beginning of the evening when julie got here and i had no real reason to be. ...stressed from the apt buying perhaps. maybe the big decisions that still lie ahead. so when she started asking about wedding stuff i got a bit defensive for some reason. ..*sigh* i really wish i hadn't of been. she drove up here just for the sake of seeing me since she won't be able to wed night and i'm all mr. poopie pants. i've acted much worse before though...but i got my shit together after a little bit and we enjoyed the rest of the night. i just really hate that my emotions seem to be beyond my control sometimes. i realize i'm being a dink..but just can't get out of as quickly as i'd like. and yet julie still loves me. i swear she's the best thing that has ever happened to me and i don't know what i'd do without her.
*pardon me as i'm veklempt now*

ok, better now. um, oh so julie and i have about given up on the garden inn. we need something solid and we're not gonna be able to get it at the garden inn. i feel like having our wedding at a church in sparta is sort of.. redneck/mundane/cheap/tacky/lacking character. but neither of us can really come up with any other option. except having it at her parents house... *shudder*. so sometime here real soon she and/or i need to start scoping out churches in sparta. and not just any church, it'll have to be a church of christ or her family will burst into flames if they walk into some heathen church.
not sure what i'll be doing this week. really wish i could see julie wed night. i may be wrong, but i think this is the first b-day i've not seen her at least one minute out of the day. and being the sentimental mook i am, it'll hurt a bit as i proposed to her a year ago that night.
