I had been emailing a lot of people about the lens. One never got back to me, another had someone waiting on it, and this one I didn’t want to do because it was more expensive; but i decided to go out and see if it was still available.  I was emailing. While I was at the train station waiting, I decided to check my email- I got a response! I emailed back right then and there, hoping that he’d check it soon.  The train station is right on his campus so I was thinking of just picking it up right then and there if I could.

My train was scheduled to arrive at 7:15…he responded at 7:14. Great. I decided to skip my train and keep corresponding with him and hopefully get this.  It took a while for the response, but I eventually walked 4 blocks (long blocks…compared to my campus) and met him there.

He said he’d be wearing a red Phillies cap. I got there before he did and called him to let him know (he told me to call once I was there.) Note. He had a really cute voice. But anyway, I was standing there, and on the other side of the street on the corner, there was this person. He was a little older, African American and really sketchy dirty looking. I don’t mean to offend, but that’s just how he came off.  He had a red cap on and held a little black bag. I was hoping this wouldn’t be it. Eventually, he starts walking over and I’m getting nervous, but then right as he’s in front of me, my phone starts going off!

The kid called and said he was a block away. Haha. I was like, what timing. I saw him in the distance, so I waited patiently.  We greeted and chatted briefly. He pulled the lens out of his backpack and I pulled my fresh twenties from my wallet. He’s a nice kid, and once we were done, he wished me a safe trip home and that was that

I have a lens (came with a UV filter and hood, which is great extras) for a camera I don’t have just yet. But I’m excited to get all my little packages in the mail for all the parts to this camera shopping spree I did. Rob said it’d be like Christmas! Who doesn’t love a bunch of things (given I had to pay for it ) Gives me something to look forward to this next week.

I’m on the train right now, and tethering my phone, but my stop is in like 2 or 3, so I’ll end this here. I’ll keep posted on any important news; I still have to name this camera! I was debating taking “Jett” off my laptop and giving it to the cam and renaming the laptop, but I have no idea. I like Kiran; Alexander was in there (like the great, or graham bell ) I don’t know..

First off, I moved back down to Philadelphia for this week. Yes, for the week. Kelsey is on her week cruise and so she’s out of the house; Janine asked if I would stay so she would not be alone in the house. Not having any prior engagements being location based, I agreed. Kaitlyn was originally planning on coming down as a part of her road trip to NC, but that fell through I came down Monday before noon and have been here since. While Janine was at class, I cleaned the entirety of the kitchen and bathroom (besides the toilet…we didn’t have a brush for that).  We also went to the gym somewhere after 4:30.  Did some cardio and lifting; when 6 came around, I was persuaded to participate in the Butts and Guts class. Worst decision ever. Haha. Ok. It’s just been a while since I’ve had a serious work out like that.  I feel so incapacitated. Each sneeze, cough or belch is a heart attack of pain. I love the burn, but this is terrible.

Tuesday, I was supposed to meet up with Jennifer at LOVE PARK but then with my car, there was not a good outlook on free parking. Sorry, baby. I ended up going to Fairmount Park instead. I’ve never been there before, so it was an adventure. I put on my Opening Acts playlist (Rookie, Go Crash and Kiernan) and walked around for about 2.5 hours. Looking at the map now, I covered a minimal amount of park in that time u_u;; I did take a good chunk of pictures though. CLICK! That was pretty much Tuesday. Today (I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already) I didn’t do much. Or at least I stayed indoors. I have the biggest trouble moving around (Ron hosts a mean class). I’s more of transitioning from sitting to standing or vice versa. I watched a small chunk of Daria (I adore her.), did my nails (toes and hands), wrote a note to Dave.

D. I haven’t had any contact with him in about a week? The last time was a mere span of about 5-txts each.  Well I wrote a little note on this little sheet about 3″x2″. haha. It’s short and to the point, and that’s sending tomorrow, and maybe I’ll hear from him.  It’s times like this that I wonder if things would be different if I had a Myspace or Facebook, especially.

It’s been a good 6 months since I’ve dropped Facebook, at least.  Life without it. It’s a very different thing. I had a problem, constantly checking it, just hoping for something new. Nothing ever happened, and just now, I found some people I can kinda relate to: Kids’ Mom.  Through all the friends I had on there, there’s only the few I can count on one hand that I keep in touch with? There were PILES of my friends that asked me, “Jeanne, since when were you not on facebook?” MONTHS after it happens. Even after we had group discussions on it! Honestly, a piece of me died (I guess I didn’t matter that much) but I’m over it. I’m secure enough to know who I’ve got when I need them most <3 Ok. So I’m out of the loop, and that’s probably the hardest challenge. I wasn’t technically invited to Steve’s Barbecue, or know of other events. Luckily, my friends are amazing and have started relaying messages to me that I need to know. All I miss out on are the pictures that everyone else posts and the latest on who is or isn’t dating who.  It’s so weird to see how powerful those sites have become. Is it really hurting me by not having it? Probably to an extent- yes.

Each day, I’m one step closer to falling back into the routine of the internet. I used to think I was the internet. I was everywhere; I did everything. Thinking about it, I think I was the one who broke up with him. Always room for reconciliation, but it’s just a matter of when. I’ll admit, Dave is probably the one reason that I would break my plans of my comeback (I promise, it’s a great plan.)  Assuming those plans don’t fall through, it’s gonna be grand, since none of my local friends know about it. Hm…I think about 6 people know, actually. I’m still waiting for a response on that though…*high hopes* But fuck it, I might just come back if that falls.

Since Kaitlyn isn’t coming down anymore, I think I’m heading back tomorrow sometime. I might hit up another part of Fairmount Park before going back. I haven’t decided yet.  Maybe the Art Museum while I’m there too ^^ I’m such a tourist for actually living here; always taking pictures and never actually seeing the places people come to sight see. Haha.

SHIT! How could I forget! Why do I ramble so much? 2 topics left. 1. Comments. 2. PHONE <3. You know me. First off, about comments. Remember when it was a huge deal to have comments? When we were all raking in double digits of legit, spam-free comments? Oh the days! Ksusha, Evan (Brandi), Krystina, Myun, Kokoro, Mitsu, Hoshi…HIKARU! Damn. Back then, I really was the internet. Ps. I miss Hikaru soooo much still. I wish she’d come back. Anyway. Comments. Now a days, I write, 0 comments, but it’s ok. I write for me- to help me organize some thoughts and get them out. It’s not about seeking approval, trying to uber impress someone or anything. Sure, it’d be nice to get some input like I used to here or there. The input from neutral parties I trust that I can’t even bring up to the closest of my IRL friends (that’s almost sad ) but whatever.

Phone. October 9th, 2009. My calendar is marked. Sony Ericsson gave me another technogasm. Satio. I will molest the hell out of him. Jenn knows…I licked lemony JB at Chipotle My vice, I know. But that’s a quirk you either accept or not.

I never uploaded pics either. I might do that now until I decide to get to bed. I’ll be sure to share PCE

Moving along. Between my txts and hanging out with Jenn, there really isn’t much going on. I went to Color Me Mine (pics later or something) and that was cool. I bought a few books (started one tonight) and trying to not be too anti-productive. I went to Missy’s grad party yesterday too! Lots of people I have not seen in a long time, so that was most fun.

I officially sold my phone today; shipped and everything. That money is going towards next month’s rent or my mom’s birthday present. Haha. I need some income soon. But that aside, I have a few field trips planned before my funds are completely wiped.

I should really do something more with my lazy fat ass.
