Oh, Alice...

Alice In Wonderland

Alice: an obsession, a love, a fixation, a simple girl with a white furry white rabbit. Ah, I love Alice and her Wonderland. I'm extremely excited about the movies coming out about Alice. I didn't realize how soon they'd be out. I don't know a lot about them right now but I plan on doing a little research to find out more.

I've been pretty busy the past few days, which means my online time has been cut short. The next few days are going to be semi-hectic as well. Beth and I are going down to campus to buy books for our classes and then hang out in Milwaukee for a while tomorrow. Wednesday is set aside for finding school supplies for Thursday's plan, which is taking down all the stuff we'll be needing for the apartment and school. And then on Thursday we'll be going to the hair salon to see what's going on for the photoshoot in September. Sheesh, I feel tired thinking about this week. I usually just like relaxing right before school starts.

I've been having the time of my life with Shawn lately. I can't really explain it. I've always been connected to Shawn in some sense but lately it seems like we're even more in tune with each other than ever. I think part of the reason is because he's reaching out to other friends for fun, not just me. I mean, I love my time with Shawn but every person needs a friend outlet, a group of people to turn to for goofing off. Shawn and I have spent so much time together in the four years we've been dating that I think we've grown up too much at times. In the last year, we've learned how to balance our time between friends and each other. I think the fact that we've grown up individually has also helped. I've learned to appreciate my time by myself and with my close friends and I don't bother Shawn when he's out with his friends anymore. I used to feel, I don't know, jealous... that Shawn was spending time with people other than me. I'd text message the hell out of my phone just to get a response. It's different now. I don't need that recognition from Shawn 24/7. Yay, what a good feeling!

girls weekends *are* fun . . .  we try to do them every so often.  this one happened to have special meaning, since marissa's getting married.

this directly correlates to your epiphany about time with shawn.  a big key to a successful relationship is that balance of me-time, friend-time, and us-time.  so far, i've failed miserably at this delicate balance with my past relationships, but they've helped me realize how important it is, and i've been slowly learning how to acheive a healthy combination of all.  so far, i think michael's the first guy i've succeeded in getting this balance set from the getgo.  it's a lot harder to balance if you start by spending all time together and cutting off friends.  (it happened with my last serious relationship, and it *sucked* when i turned around and had no one left after the breakup.)

on a totally unrelated note, what school do you go to, and what are you studying?  i miss college.

One of my favorite things about school was shopping for school supplies. I still get the urge to buy something cute and school related when I see the "back to school" aisles at stores even though I've been out of college for a few years now.

That doll looks like a sugar-coated version of the aliens from Close Encounters. The big pear shaped heads, large eyes, and tiny mouths. Creepy. Yet cool.

Hahaha. Yeah, all Pullip dolls have the same face and eye shapes. The Japanese culture really likes wide looking eyes, as you can probably see from all the pictures of my dolls on here. Heh.

beautiful shot of alice!  you'll have to keep us informed about the upcoming movie releases i had no idea about.  i'm a fan of "alice in wonderland" too though perhaps not as fanatic as you, haha.
