Past to Future

Home in dorm again after a refreshing and exuberant Easter long weekend in Lloydminster. How I wish we could return to Canada's 'Border City' and its simple yet pleasant way of life.
Memories flash through my mind of
- real food; how sweet, juicy and overly enjoyable
- hide and go seek in Walmart - first time ever getting evicted from the premises of a public place
- nearly 6 hours of story time (we read the end half of Harry Potter 5 aloud to each other!) We are not nerds . . . :)
- movies, movies, and movies (some more then once)
- kicking shoes into the tree- which most definitely had an affect of the other tree a few feet away which only days later came crashing to the ground (where we had been parked)!
- and just over all good times spent sitting, talking, playing games and making chocolate cake!

Now I sit here, alone in my half empty room. Boxes, both full and bare, surround my desk. My walls, which were once covered in pictures and quotes now appear naked and desolate.
There are however, a few quotes remaining which support my anti-love/anti-guy theme:

"There are easier things in life than finding a good man . . . Like nailing jello to a tree for instance"

"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night the ice weasels come"

"Can't eat, Can't sleep, Get butterflies in your stomach- feels great! It's not love, it's someone other then your mom thinking you are cool"

"Some people are like slinkies . . . Not really good for anything, but you can't help but smile when they fall down the stairs"

These quotes have been referred to a number of times throughout the year and used to cheer us up in times of sorrow or wrath towards the opposite sex.
I've collected a number to add to this collection next year:

"If you want me to fall for you, you've got to give me something worth tripping over"

"A heart is not a play thing, A heart is not a toy, But if you want it broken, Just give it to a boy. "

"Don't rush into falling in love, take your time, enjoy the pain!"


I wonder how all this will be for my future roommate, to be forced to see these everyday of her dorm life. She's been with the same guy for years and posts picture of him all over her room . . .Will we be divided just as are choices of decor will be?

but it's even more difficult to pretend that you don't love someone when you really do. -
