One hour left. I don't want to be here anymore. My boss is being a bit of a pain today. Even Keeper's boss thinks so. On the bright side, I just spent 15 minutes socializing with my friend J. That was nice. Discussing plans for the summer, and our jobs, and such nonsensical stuffz. He returned my book to me, too! The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear! It's definitely one of my Favorite books ever! And I've just spoken to Keeper, and he says that we can read it for bedtime stories! AH! You don't even know how excited that makes me!
We're reading Winnie the Pooh stories right now. It's really fun. I've decided that Russ is Tigger. Emily is a mixture of Pooh and Rabbit. Oh, and my Esoteric Hellion is a mixture of Eeyore and Owl! :) I think I'm probably either Piglet, or Christopher Robin. I haven't really decided if I'm even really a part of the stories just yet. I showed Keeper the movie adaptations of three of the stories the other day. It was just kind of a fun little evening of watching movies. He laughed, and seemed to enjoy the movies as well.
We will probably go back to reading some Lewis Carroll after we're done with Pooh, at least for a little bit. And then I think we might have to start on the Adventures of Captain Bluebear! I read this book once a loooooooonnnnng time ago. I loved it. It's over 700 pages long. It's absolutely fascinating, and a fun read. It's got some of the most random things you can think of, and some things you've never even imagined! I only wish I had a hardcover version of it.
I'm looking into getting the other 4 books that Walter Moers wrote that were translated into English. It looks as though they're all available on Amazon, which is nice. From what I'm reading, 3 of the other 4 books also take place in Zamonia (the fictitious continent that Captain Bluebear is set in), although none of them are actually sequels or prequels or anything like that. I might just have to buy them all! I believe, if I could, I would have all of Walter Moers' works. I know that he is a German comic writer and author, and from what I've seen of his work, I really do enjoy it.
Anyway, I have spent my last hour of work. Time to go home and maybe play a game or something until Keeper comes home and then we're going to lunch!
Chow! :)

Mixed Thoughts
It certainly has been a while. I've felt as though there hasn't been much to write about, although I know there certainly is every day Life to write about.
I have found myself addicted to this song:
I love this man's voice. I love this band. I've found the other 2 recordings they have recorded, and their work is FANTASTIC. The band's name: Bastille. Definitely check them out. I REALLY hope they record some more stuff and become more widely known!
Tonight, Keeper and I are traveling to Appleton, to go to my "twin"'s bridal shower... Well, I'm going to the shower... Keeper gets to amuse himself in Appleton for two hours. This is going to be my first time back in town since January 2010. I have some mixed feelings about it.
This is the first time Keeper and I are going anywhere out of town for more than the day. And we're going to the most recent town that I lived in. There are still people there that I'd rather avoid. And there are some others that I would truly enjoy seeing.
I am a little anxious. I think it almost has nothing to do with Keeper, though. Looking back at every other "trip" I've taken, my mother and I would both always get stressed out for some reason, and there would always be some small argument before we left for our destination. I feel as though some of my anxiety and stress currently may be due to this feeling of waiting for that stupid little argument. I don't think that it will actually happen, and I'm working very hard to not do anything that may cause a fight. I think we'll be okay.
It feels good to have an open space to write all of this and get it out of my head. I feel much better when I get everything out. Between this open blog and the private story, my emotions and thoughts have a chance to escape my heart and my head, and for those who care to read them, a chance for some other perspective to enter everyone else's minds.

I think, overall, today will be good.
