Surgery went well. I won't post pics b/c they are really gross. ><; It only hurts when I touch them, so cleaning time is pretty owwie. Once they are healed up I will probably post some pictures, but mayhap not until the stitches are out.

I just read Kushiel's Scion and Kushiel's Justice (which is why I feel like using mayhap in casual conversation). I want to read Kushiel's Mercy to finish up the trilogy, but it is only out in hardcover and I own the rest of the series in paperback so I do not want to buy just the one in hardcover. I am hoping to be able to rent it or borrow it from someone.

I get to try on my wedding dress again this weekend! Then we will order the bridesmaid dresses and maybe pick out their shoes.

As the final part of my graduation present from my parents I am getting plastic surgery to fix my torn earlobes. I am very excited! In 6 weeks she will re-pierce them and I can once again wear earrings w/o ear lifts and fear of having my lobes ripped through.

( For those who want to see why )

Yay!

-is a really fun game. William and I have been playing (It's only one player, but there is a lot of planning involved so he mans the controls and I watch and supply ideas) It is totally cute and a lot of fun. Anyone with a wii should consider downloading his 1500 point game ($15). You can also buy more content, races, outfits, dungeons. I think if you buy all of it the total for FFCCMLK and extra content costs $31.



Working 40 hours a week as a graduated person feels similar to last summer's 40. However now I have a pretty diploma in a neato tube thing. I really need to get a frame, but it's so freaking huge I will have to look around. Well I just thought I should update. And Nintendo...if you are reading this...please release Dr. Mario Online RX so I can give my mom her birthday present already! She has been waiting on this game since the Wii came out!

Wow it looks like I am so inactive based on my home page ;0 I check lj everyday I just do not post on my own journal a lot. Anyways I just wanted to say that I graduate with my BA in Criminal Justice on Saturday. I totally need a job in Atlanta in January so please let me know if you know of one!!

In other news:

the wedding planning is going well. I cannot wait until December. ^^ I may start keeping my progress on here. Would anyone want to see it?

Japan is going to be so awesome.

Nana 74 rocked.

2 finals (one is an online quiz) and I am done with school.

My chili is apparently good enough to impress the faculty/staff at William's dept. potluck.

What should I ask for for graduation? I simply have no idea what is appropriate to ask from my parents, William's mom, etc.

They aired the episode of Simpsons today that makes a jab at Geraldine Ferrero. Hilarious!

Working on planning the honeymoon some this week. Next week we will actually be able to book flights b/c the honeymoon will be less than 330 days away! William found the most awesome website where we can book a ryokan that monkeys actually share the hot springs at!



We went to the travel agent yesterday, but it seems their fees add 500 to our flight and 50 a night to our hotel bills so we are probably going to just do it ourselves now. I am so excited to go to Japan. I want to start cramming all the Japanese I can in my head as soon as possible, but I do not graduate college till May so that has to wait. This semester has just started and I already wish it was over. Granted with no Latin it is a lot less stressful. I have already had one test (88 in Theater) and one proposal due(also theater). I have a paper due next week which I plan to work on over the weekend, it is just writing a paper from notes so no worries there. I need to beat MySims, and play more Sims 2 Vacations, and plan more wedding stuff. So far this is what I have done for the wedding for those of you who may be interested:

Sometime after the engagement in April 08, 2005
Picked the wedding party
18 mos.
Booked the Photographer (http://www.lanceoliverphotography.com/index.htm) With a much better package then what is up now.
Booked the Reception at the Officer's Club on Tyndall Air Force Base, FL
Picked out who we will buy the cake from - told to order later
Bought the rings
12 mos.
Ordered the flowers (http://home.proflowers.com/wedding/)
Bought the Dress
Picked out the Bridesmaid Dresses
Looked into Favors
Looked into Officiants
Tried out a hairstyle for the wedding - I might just have Carolyn do it, it is really simple
Booked the Rehearsal dinner (as of last night apparently ^^ go William's mom)
Looked into Honeymoon arrangements - Tokyo Japan

Considering I have a year left I think I am doing pretty well. Any ideas, suggestions?

Dec 20th is all I have to say now to explain when I am getting married. ^^ I have most of it planned out, reserved, or both. School starts for us soon, my last semester before graduating in May. I cannot wait to be done with school.

After the wedding we will move to Atlanta so he can finish school and then we can move somewhere and maybe buy a house. The impending marriage of course also means the impending pressure of the babies. ><; Since I am the oldest and William's brother does not have children I fear the pressure will be strong once we tie the knot.

I am not really sure how I feel about having kids. I like them of course, but I do not know how much I really want to "own" one. If we do, we both decided they would be put off until we both are in our careers and can afford to put them into private school and any other activities we might want them to do. I don't however feel a biological need to procreate for some reason of species sustainment or legacy.

I also know if we have kids, later on, I would expect alot, out of myself and them. I am constantly thinking of things I would "do differently" with my siblings so I hope that I am as good as I think I can be as a parent, if I become one.

I know you do not need kids to be happy. I am sure lots of people are or would be without them. The clincher is that I know life changes when you have them, and the only way to ever have that change is to have kids. So, do I want that, do we?

Ever wonder which characters your friends find you similar to? Well, I'm asking you who I remind you of. Characters can be from any fandom, list as many as you can think of, along with reasons why. Then repost this to your own journal, and see what characters people relate you to.
