There is no way I am going to recall the last three-four weeks for you day by day but maybe you can get a feel for what's going...
I started classes yesterday and am still getting the feel for this semester. So far classes seem like they are going to SWAMP me, but some of it will be enjoyable. I think I just need a better outlook on this semester...I haven't started my work hours yet, which is absolutely murderous. I get paid pretty much shit and I need money. I'm worried I won't have enough for March, and March is very important to me. I'm on the lookout for a second job so help a girl out...
So why is March very important to me? Spring Break. And no, I'm not going to be a slut in Cancun or be lazy in Florida, I'm going to be freezing my ass off in Minnesota. Why? Because that's where my man is! and that's where I want to be. I guess that's also something new I haven't talked about, but it's time you get used to it because he's going to be around for a very long time...in fact, he's probably going to outlast this blog, because I don't think I'll be blogging forever. I know what you're thinking, long distance relationship, I know. It's not easy, believe me. I hate waking up and going to sleep; I never feel so alone. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with my feelings and a lot of the time I never let him knew how I have felt for a LONG ass time because I feared the distance, I feared something that was good for me, and feared actually feeling loved and loving someone...I just hope all the time I left out my emotions doesn't lessen anything I tell him now because all of a sudden it seems I am infatuated with him...and I am. There should not be one person on this planet who doubts an ounce of the love I have for this man. I love you. You are my future.
Ok, sorry about that *shakes off the emotional face*, but I wanted to give you a little insight to my moods and emotions during these past few weeks. Even though I will say, I had a wonderful time in Berlin and will review the city and people another time, all that was stated in the previous paragraph largely affected my trip as well, being I just had to say "See ya later" a few days before (I never say goodbye for fear it will be the last time...).
Get over my sappy ass, I'm human too.
I'm immersing myself in culture this semester and specifically getting a LARGE jumpstart on my Cinema Studies Minor by taking a 700 level (typically the most advanced in undergrad here at UNH) World Cinema course, and doing a 700 level Independent Study in Russian Film (which is also credited to my Russian Minor). I'm a busy woman, no doubt.
Things I'm looking forward to/excited about and you will probably hear about: Spring Break, NEW Alkaline Trio CD February 23rd, UNH v Merrimack on Saturday, MAN UTD being top of the Premier League, and trying to be Healthy.
Until next time my darlings,
Be grateful for what you have and try not to fuck it up.
Love,
Napalm

They Call It Progress....
Who are They and what is It?
That doesn't matter, as long as you know the name Soapbox Preachers. If you're a reader of my blog I am sure I have mentioned this band and I know I have mentioned Mike, the mastermind behind it all as well as socialtreason.blogspot.com
After five years and slowly coming down to a one-man music-making machine, SBP's second album They Call It Progress is now
available to please your ear-drums.
If you've heard the first album, do not judge. I personally feel the lack of proper recording equipment affected the quality of the first CD but that says nothing about the music or the lyrics. Armed with better equipment and what I would argue to be progressing talent, They Call It Progress shows a lot of potential and a lot of energy. Bad Religion would be proud of this man's work! Not only has the recording improved but I witness much stronger music and lyrics writing this time around. Although he has not abandoned his trademark social-commentary, his lyrics have broadened to a wider array of all that life has thrown at him.
5 years and Mike has certainly grown as an artist and can only go upwards from here. The first single of the album is titled "Process of Decay" but don't judge on that single alone! You can listen to the entire album on his site (which I will include at the bottom of this post) and hear a range of different moods from track to track.
Although my word should be law about this, I'm telling you to judge for yourself.
Music and methods of contact:
Website: soapboxpreachers.jimdo.com
MySpace: myspace.com/soapboxpreachersband
You can also search for Soapbox Preachers on REVERBNATION.
Sounds from the streets,

twenty-ten? when did that happen?
It's the future! That's scary...
So I was sick on New Years Eve...sad day, I know. I was more than willing to go out and whatnot but Mike (socialtreason.blogspot.com) convinced me to lay my ass on the couch and watch a Three Stooges marathon with him all night. Honestly, that was absolutely fine with me. A little wine and a little card playing. Two more days until he heads back to the frozen tundra of Minnesota and I'm thinking of holding him hostage.
Right now we're sitting on my bed while he fights to update his band's MySpace page to let everyone know about his new album! myspace.com/soapboxpreachersband When he isn't sitting next to me I'll give my review since I've had the first copy sitting next to me for over a week now. Aren't I special? If you've read my old posts I've already said a few words about him but check out his page once he updates for music, and the new website he's working on.
As you know, where I've been staying lacks internet and I've been really bad in updating for all of you. When I return (some time around Monday-Tuesday) I'll let you know about our two weeks together, the 'new' Mighty Mighty Bosstones CD, the 'new' Rammstein CD, and my next trip outta hea'! I will have a lot to say, you have no idea. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday, go hug your loved ones!
Bad in Plaid,
Love,
