Friday, June 24, 2016 - the stars

This prompt reminds me of the show "Dancing with the Stars," for some reason. One of my best friends during high school was obsessed with that show many years back, because one of her favorite celebrities was competing. So I did end up watching quite a few episodes of it back in the day, but because I don't recognize most of the celebrities, or stars if you will, who end up participating in the show, I never really got into it otherwise.

Last night, I dreamed that I had failed a test for a physical education class, even though I have not had any class in a gymnasium in like five years. And there was this whole thing about having to talk to the professor to figure out when to retake the test, and what room and date it would be, and whether I should even retake the test at all or in fact retake the entire year of classes. Whaaaat?!

I hate when school dreams come back. or old jobs being flooded with sharks and stuff. it's like . that part of my life is over. go away!

Haha I still have dreams on occasion where I find myself back in my high school classrooms x_x

On a happier note, my significant other is on the bus coming back to my state now <3 he has business things to take care of here, which is why he's coming back this time, but we'll definitely be spending time together when possible. It feels like foreverrrrrr since we've been together in person ohh my goodness...even though it's only actually been two weeks. But ahhh all the texting, phone calls, occasional skype sessions combined are not nearly as nice as being physically together. Plus he didn't have the best reception while he was away at a music festival for several days so it felt like even less contact between us, even though we keep in touch throughout the day every day. So anyway, he's on the bus now and asked if I wanted to talk on the phone for a bit, but then I still have about an hour of lecture to study, plus he really really needs sleep to be productive tomorrow, because he stayed up super late for his favorite bands at the music festival, plus he has business stuff starting the day after tomorrow. So instead, I will be finishing up my studying for the day and he will hopefully be able to catch some sleep on the bus ride here. In fact, I was the one who suggested to him that he take the bus instead of driving as he normally does (plus he drove for so many hours today already), so that he would be able to catch some Zzz's, which he definitely needs. I am so excited that he's coming back and can't wait to see him.

So...I have some good news and bad news and neutral news to share with my memory jar.

The good news is that my beloved sibling did well on their interview and has their first job and new hire training today. Woohoo!

The bad news is that my significant other overslept this morning and has a presentation today that he is not prepared for...and I feel really bad about that because I was talking with him yesterday night until very late. So I feel at least partly responsible for the fact that even though he had not gotten enough sleep during his time at the music festival, he did spend several hours on the phone with me and texting me. So that is several hours he could have been focusing on his presentation...ughhhh I feel so bad. He didn't even get to finish his slides yesterday. He was going to wake up early in order to work on the slides. But then he overslept. I even called him an hour before the presentation to make sure he knew the time, and then he messaged me a few minutes later that he had just woken up. He had planned to meet his partner at 10am to work on the presentation together, but then he woke up at 1pm and his presentation was at 2pm. Oh my goodness...I really hope he does well. I know it's not completely my fault but I do feel partially responsible...yeah I feel really bad about that.

And then some neutral news, there is a book drive on Thursday that I want to donate some books to. So I will have to figure out which books to donate, since I cannot carry all of them there.

Okay update - the presentation didn't go so well after all, but life goes on, as my significant other says. And what's weird is that he never oversleeps like that. That was just how tired he was. And it's also weird that he set his phone to do not disturb at night, but the alarm still rings through that. And you can schedule a start and end time for it. Also, if someone calls you more than three times, the do not disturb turns off. So he really has no idea what happened, since his partner called him ten times this morning. So his phone should have sounded.

Today is Wednesday. There are less than 72 hours until my significant other and I finally get to hang out for the first time in about three weeks. I am just counting down the days until that happens. My significant other, in the meantime, is busying himself with preparing for presentations for his company that are extremely important. So, I am trying not to text him too much because I know how distracting it can be to have your significant other on your mind. It is certainly distracting for me, but it is so worth having The person in your life you really like. And I have a meeting tomorrow that I have to prepare things for. So I am working on that right now and being busy myself.

I should mention that fortunately, the presentation he had yesterday was just a practice round. But today is one of the real things so it needs to go well. Therefore, I will not message him unless he texts me first. That way, it will definitely be at a time when he is actually free and not as busy

Today is Friday. Tomorrow, I finally get to see my significant other again in the flesh. But sometimes I wonder if he is as excited about seeing me as I am about him. It can be hard to tell when it is mostly just texting the other person. Well certainly, every time he has an update or everything he does, he will tell me. So it does feel like I am his go-to person for whatever thoughts he is having or whatever updates there are about his research or his company. I also hope he knows how excited I am to see him tomorrow. I am trying to think of a good present to give him because he was away when his birthday passed, so we didn't get to spend time together except over texting and over the phone. I bought this new extremely good razor set to give him. I know he doesn't shave that often but I think it helps to have one on hand anyway. The only consideration is that I don't know what he uses to shave. Does he use a simple razor? Or does he use an electronic one? I don't know. But this one is electronic. I hope he likes it. I did go shopping for ties and such yesterday, but he said he didn't want any ties. I also looked at what dress shirts were available, but there were not any good ones in his size.

My significant other is such a sweetheart. Today, well technically yesterday, was wonderful. First, we went to get a chocolate cupcake for each of us for breakfast. Then we went to a pop-up store for one of our shared favorite shows. In fact, he was the one who introduced it to me and sent me all of the episodes so that I could watch them. And then we had lunch, which was yummy sushi! And then we went shopping for some clothing items for him for business related things. We were hoping to get him a blazer, button up shirts, and also new shoes. We ended up successfully finding him a blazer a new pair of shoes! But although he tried on button up shirts, he did not like any of them enough to get them. And then we went to his apartment to chill. And then we had dinner, which was a burrito for him and a burrito bowl for myself. And then he practiced some business stuff with me so I could give him some feedback as well as time him. And then we parted.

My significant other is still working on an important presentation he has to give. I gave him some feedback, and his business partner also gave feedback, so he is now trying to take into account all of our feedback while fixing it

I had nightmares yesterday. I don't normally have nightmares, and when I do remember my dreams, they are usually very good dreams or seemingly impossible adventures. First, I dreamed that my teeth incessantly chattered, and I had to put my finger in my teeth so that I would end up biting my finger instead of my teeth incessantly grinding against each other. And despite my efforts, somehow one of my bottom incisors came loose and seemed like it was about to fall out. And secondly, I dreamed that I was going to perform the piano while singing a song in front of a large audience. But once I sat down and put the music sheet in front of me, I realized I didn't know how to play the song on the piano, and I started trying to sight read the left hand. Then I paused after playing a few of the same arpeggios over and over. Then I tried again with both hands and started improvising random melodies, and someone in the audience shouted out that that is not how the song goes. So the host/MC of the show kind of gave me a look, and I stood up from the piano bench with a microphone and apologized to the audience, saying that although I had performed that same song at two previous shows, it wasn't happening today. So the host/MC tried to be helpful and said, why don't you just sing it even if you don't play the piano accompaniment? And I said, that's a good idea. And for some reason, I started asking the audience for song suggestions. But everyone started shouting different suggestions, and I couldn't make out a single one except "Kesha" and then someone shouted "Katy Perry" so I asked the audience for a specific song by those two artists. But meanwhile, most of the people in the audience started leaving because I was the last performance, and they didn't feel like sticking around anymore. Isn't that interesting?!

Hooray, another one of my threads, Zoolander, was featured in Emilio's Weekly Round-up!

Wow what a dream! I wish I get to remember dreams like you do . The only ones that I remember are the repetitive ones whenever i'm sick and have a hot towel over my forehead ;o. Sometimes, i wonder if it means something but I never really put much effort to analyze it because it was all crazy and a horror fantasy kind of dream.

MeIshCutie v2, maybe it is better not to analyze a bad dream :D better to analyze the good ones <3

June 27, 2016 - My significant other is in a different state again for a business trip.

June 29, 2016 - My significant other is in another meeting right now. He has a lot of meetings going on, both in person and over the phone, while he is in a different state. But he is coming back to my state soon. I don't even know what to really talk about except that we have been pretty good so far!
