I don't think I've ever been more in love than I am in this moment.

Case just got home last night from yet another underway. It was only a few weeks, but it was long enough. Combined with the fact that I went home to Michigan for most of it, it felt like even longer because I was in a whole different world.

From the moment he walked in and greeted me by saying, "did you miss me?" to the moment I woke up next to him this morning, everything has been perfect. The homecomings just keep getting better the more we go through together. We spent all night swapping stories and laughing so hard we were in tears. He kept leaning down to kiss me and I love how extra affectionate he is after being gone, it's exactly the kind of attention I need most.. 

He had to work part of the day today and I can't wait for him to get home. He gets a bit of leave for Christmas, although it's not as long as last year...but at least we'll be able to spend some proper time together before he leaves again.

It amazes me that I can stop posting for weeks or months at a time and not lose a single follower. I wish I could merge this blog with my active one.. I miss this one, I do. I miss my dash, I miss my followers, I miss the type of blogging I did. But for some reason I just can't use this one very much. I don't know why.

Come visit me.

The Married Life

It's an interesting one.

The man eats a lot, has a lot of laundry (oh god the uniforms, THE UNIFORMS) that needs to be done, can never find anything in the kitchen, nearly pushes me off the bed at night, and does a lot of whining. But god do I love him and our life together.

Because I don't currently have a job and school doesn't start for a few more months, I've taken it upon myself to take care of the house so he doesn't have to...not like I'm doing much anyway, since I'm in a new city where I know very few people. My dinner escapades have turned out surprisingly well. Who knew I could cook? Certainly not me. I have a chore list a mile long because today is his first day back at work and I want the house to be in perfect condition upon his return. Never saw myself as a housewife, but you've gotta work with what you've got I guess.

It still freaks me out to see our wedding ring and hear the words "husband" and "wife". It doesn't feel real, but then again it's only been a week. We adopted a cat over the weekend, making us a family of three. Which means I now have TWO things to take care of, since I married a man who is secretly eleven years old, I swear. My life in Michigan and my life in Washington feel like two completely separate entities, as if the person I was disappeared and this new person sprung up in her wake. Trying to discern who I was and who I am now is impossible. I don't know what happened to the girl who was a waitress by day, partier by night....all I know is that she's gone and I'll never find her again. 

Aaaannnd there's the ding of my timer to signal that I'm out of time..

[illjoinyouwhenhellfreezesover]

Wedding is TODAY!!!!!

T-minus 16 hours, oh god!! So freaking excited and nervous....

Five women in a hotel room with four bottles of wine is a bad combination when the women are your best friend, your mother, your older sister, and your sister in law....oh lord oh lord. We should not be talking about sex this much, I can't breathe.

Last night in Kalamazoo.

At this point, surrounded by boxes and bare walls, I can't wait to get out. But I know I'll feel differently on Sunday and Monday when I say goodbye to everyone I love. I'm going to miss this town, this state, these people. These memories. It's been an insane two years at this university, but I've found that I'm ready to leave...I've found peace with ending it. 

On Monday I'll be making the 2,000+ mile trip to the west coast with my new husband to an apartment that's entirely our own in a place that's ours. It's going to be lonely, but it's going to be one hell of a ride out there just like it was here. 

I'll never forget how well Michigan has treated me....I wish I could say I'll be back here one day, but I know that it'll only be for visits, never for living...

Seattle, get ready. We're on our way.

Packing, packing, and more packing

Moving out of this apartment is more heartbreaking than I expected. Once again, I keep doing the "I'll never do this again" and "I'll never see this person again" thing, even for ridiculous moments.. I know that I need to get used to the feeling of moving on, because there's always the chance of us moving at a moment's notice as long as Case is in the service. Even if we don't move, our friends inevitably will. But I don't know how to get used to it, how to let go of the places that become my home. I've spent less than two years in this town, and yet I already love it...

I was about to make a list of everything I'm going to miss, but I'm drawing the line. I will not do this again. I will not. I need to get back to packing. Now is not the time for sentimental whining. I chose this life, I chose to leave. It was all me, and now the time has come for me to woman up and do what I said I would do.

Washington, see you in a few days.

Woo you get more pictures of my face because I had to test it outside~~~ Unfortunately, the back isn’t visible but there are a few small braids and a couple white flower pins.. Trying to achieve a sexy, romantic, earthy look. :3

[illjoinyouwhenhellfreezesover]

So I had my practice run for my wedding hairstyle and make-up yesterday~

[illjoinyouwhenhellfreezesover]

We agreed to start a new thing tonight....we're going back to when we first started dating, when we used to play 20 questions non-stop and just go back and forth with whatever questions we could think of. We realized that the reason we've been having these small issues so often the last few weeks is because we have to re-learn about each other....our reactions, in particular, since we've both changed quite a bit in that department... 

These past 10 months have hit harder than we know.. the last seven months especially were stolen from us because of his deployment. We both feel like this would be so much easier if we had gotten to see each other immediately after homecoming, but instead we were thrown into limbo for a month and nothing good has come as a result. Sometimes I feel like I don't even know him at all, because who he was a year ago is a completely different person from who he is today. Sometimes I really miss that person, and I'm hoping that he starts showing his face more with time...

We've been a teeter totter the last few weeks and it's so unlike us, so I'm hoping that once he gets here everything will get much easier....but for now, we just have to wait it out. So 20 questions it is, I guess. Stick with light, stick with easy, stick with fun. If we can get through a deployment and make it look easy to others, then we can do anything.

Eye contact: how souls catch fire.

Yahia Lababidi, from “Aphorisms” (via rainydaysandblankets)

[boredvenus-deactivated20141120]

1. White terrorists are called “gunmen.” What does that even mean? A person with a gun? Wouldn’t that be, like, everyone in the US? Other terrorists are called, like, “terrorists.” 2. White terrorists are “troubled loners.” Other terrorists are always suspected of being part of a global plot, even when they are obviously troubled loners. 3. Doing a study on the danger of white terrorists at the Department of Homeland Security will get you sidelined by angry white Congressmen. Doing studies on other kinds of terrorists is a guaranteed promotion. 4. The family of a white terrorist is interviewed, weeping as they wonder where he went wrong. The families of other terrorists are almost never interviewed. 5. White terrorists are part of a “fringe.” Other terrorists are apparently mainstream. 6. White terrorists are random events, like tornadoes. Other terrorists are long-running conspiracies. 7. White terrorists are never called “white.” But other terrorists are given ethnic affiliations. 8. Nobody thinks white terrorists are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered paragons of their societies. 9. White terrorists are alcoholics, addicts or mentally ill. Other terrorists are apparently clean-living and perfectly sane. 10. There is nothing you can do about white terrorists. Gun control won’t stop them. No policy you could make, no government program, could possibly have an impact on them. But hundreds of billions of dollars must be spent on police and on the Department of Defense, and on TSA, which must virtually strip search 60 million people a year, to deal with other terrorists.

Juan Cole, 08/09/2012

Juan Cole actually wrote this 4 days after a white terrorist, yes, terrorist, murdered 6 and injured 4 people at a Sikh gurdwara in Wisconsin. The terrorist who committed said crime spoke of an impending “racial holy war” beforehand and was a member of white supremacist/neo-Nazi hate groups.
