Father's Day

Father's day is a strange day for me... well, today was a strange day for me.

I woke up late and prepared myself for the day. After my shower and such, I found that I my travel back pack was missing.

I scoured the house for it, but no dice. It was no where to be found. By now, I'm getting angry. You see, this back pack has been with me since I was little and has gone practically everywhere I have. It's been on every plane trip that I can remember. It's been to every country that I have ever been to.

This backpack and I were like two peas in a pod. How could it run off and leave me alone?!

So I set out after I was positive I would never see backpack again. I went to Best Buy and bought a better back pack. One that has pockets who have pockets. One that has compartments for, not just my laptop, but nook as well.

And it's burgundy. It is a sexy backpack and we will go places together.

After I bought backpack I went and watched Thor with my dad and step-family. That was really really nice. Honestly, I needed it.

Then I went home and had a yummy dessert with George that I made him for Father's day.

These moments are wonderful, but they're not staving off the depression and loneliness that seems to be overtaking me.

I have three days left with those that I love.

Then after that roughly 2.5 weeks before Neal leaves for 10 months.

Guys, I didn't sign up for this when I signed up for it!


Well I'm going to go and try and find some solace for the rest of the day. Maybe I'll play with my new backpack.

Something To Write About

I wish I had something interesting to write about.

All I can say is that I'm excited to go to France, but I don't want to leave Neal behind. And it's sort of the same thing when he goes to Japan. So thoughts of our separation have been filling my mind lately.

As for writing here when I'm in France, I'm not sure how often I'll do it. Mm. Caillaud wants us to keep a journal in French of what happens and our observations. Because I'll be handwriting about everything that is going on, I know I won't want to do it again here.

This just might be a venting blog then, and then it'll probably just say the same things over and over again.

So we'll all just have to see what happens. It might be easier to just do video updates.

I'm off to spend the day with Neal and then maybe we'll be heading to Arya's for her Be Our Guest party.

Love,
Elle

Mornings

I am starting to love mornings. And not just the waking up part.

Well, actually, that's a huge part of it.

I love waking up in Neal's arms. I love feeling wrapped up in his embrace and then feel his lips on my forehead. He pulls me closer, cracks open a sleepy eye and murmurs "Good Morning."

After I respond with a "Morning," we cuddle together for as long as our schedules allow.

Right now, it's the thing that I will miss the most when I go to France.

Positive

I just noticed all of these posts have gotten a little down. So this one is to bring everything back up to a neutral level at least.

There are a few things that I want to talk about in this post! The first: Legend of Korra.

Oh my goodness. That episode was INTENSE! However, I felt that maybe this episode should have been the one that they made the two week break after.

Or maybe it's a good thing that we only have to wait a week for Episode 9. I'm not sure if the fandom could hold itself together after that little clip featuring Tarrlok. In fact, I think that the LoK fandom would find a way into the show itself, drag the bastard kicking and screaming from his smug seat in the council, and demolish him.... or find the creators of the show and have them make Korra do it.

I can honestly say that I have no idea what is going to happen next. I can say that I really want Naga to find Korra, and in my heart of hearts, I want Asami to be good. I want her to be good so hard.

But...

But I don't think that she is. Or I think that she's going to do one thing that betrays or screws over Team Avatar but then feels bad and will return to it.

What if she becomes like a reverse Zuko. Like she's friends with the avatar at first and then slowly becomes enemies.

I can't say. I don't know. I just love this show. It is the highlight of my Saturday.

Speaking of shows that I also love, I love the Borgias on Shotime! Jeremy Irons, well the whole cast, is absolutely amazing. The show is sexy and addictive and gives me something to look forward to on Sunday.

Between these two shows, my weekend is set.

However, I do not have anything to do this week now that tutoring is over. Tomorrow, I am spending some time with Neal, but I'm not exactly sure what to do. I mean, we both don't have that much money. I suggested we watch Nintendo's E3 showcase, but he didn't seem too into it.

Back to the drawing board...

Love and Peace
