I haven't written in about 2 or 3 weeks. Whoops. =)

I work a lot now. And it is awesome.
Never thought I would say that about a job in my whole life.

I'm definitely enjoying what I do at the Oracle office. I've met some really cool people in there, and we've all hit it off well. I get along with all of them, and no one makes fun of me like my other stupid friends from school do. They're nice, they're fun. It's awesome.
I didn't know I could get paid to have as much fun as I've been having. Thomas, the editor in chief, agrees.

My favorite parts about working there are:
1. When Thomas randomly bursts into song. Always random songs, too. One day, we got beautiful renditions of songs from The Little Mermaid. He knew all the words. Then one day, it was Footloose. A few Police songs. Other things that we hear or think of. Yeah. It's pure comedy, with Thomas around.
2. The games that Brad and I make up while we're waiting for flats. They never have names, but they're fun. Tuesday, we were tossing a ball back and forth, trying to make it land on the stapler and make it staple. I have no life. But it's ok, because neither does anyone else there. =)
3. The terrible, awful grammatical mistakes we've found while copy editing stories. Usually it's just misspelled words, but there are some other really amsuing things:
            -oridinary (ordinary)
            -Sprink Break
            -yet to be undetermined
            -changelled (challenged)
            -Februaruy
            -funding raising
            -a lot more lamer
Some people don't pay attention, it's amazing. Oh, and did you know that the leg is the largest muscle in your body? ::sigh:: Stupid people. Pay more attention. =)
4. When Marlow, Mark, Thomas, John, and especially Brad, do their Michael Jackson impersonations. There's no other word for it besides amazing. Amazingly hilarious. "Drinking beef stroganoff-ah!" Ha. Awesome.
5. Having Mike walk me to my car every night, even when he finished and could have gone home anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours before I was able to leave. He won't let me walk to my car by myself because it's late and he doesn't want anything to happen to me. Awww. No one treats me like that ever. *teehee*
6. I could just keep going on and on with this forever... there are countless things that we do in the office that are amazing and awesome and funny. I love that I fit in so well with them and don't feel out of place when I go to work.
7. Duh. Who can forget the prank calls we all took part in to the Features desk. That night was probably one of the best nights in the office... ever.

Ok, I'll stop with that now. I like my new friends very much.
And it's fun having a crush on someone, too. *teehee*

Speaking of that... Mike and I are going to NY over the summer together, because he's never been. It's going to be rad. Yankees game. Italian dinners. Central Park. Yesss.
I just have to tell my dad. Haha. My mom thinks it should be fine, though.

Moving right along...
In approximately 11 days, I will be in Wilmington, NC, spending some time with Lisa! YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
In case you couldn't tell, I'm a little excited. =)
Spring Break is going to rock.

It's funny being single.
I just wanted to throw that out there.

Steve leaves for Korea in a week. He and Dustin are going to come hang out on Saturday, hopefully. It will be nice to get to see him before he leaves. Dustin, too, because Dustin wasn't in Idaho last time I was there.
At least it won't be so bad to him go now. This will be way easier than I thought it was going to be.
Still, sad. I will miss him.
But I'm ok.

And single.
But ok. =)

I learned a lot from being in that relationshp with Steve. Many things that I never would have learned if we hadn't dated. And I'm grateful for that, but I know that God has something different for me.
Everything happens for a reason. And it's nice to be ok and actually believe that, and not just be upset and saying it for the sake of saying it.
God does some awesome, unexplainable things.

I leave you with a picture. Enjoy.

Alayna and I are too cool for words, in my mom's old dresses. Heck yes.
Check out my livejournal to see every picture we took that day. There's way too many. About a 100. Yep. Amazing.

Sorry about your song not working on your site if you noticed my computer is being a jerk again. I will try to fix it. If you still have that song on here.
