SoccerLFQT08's Blurty

Gourmet pimps a la 230
This was a pretty eventful weekend. Ryan and I went over to Chris' friend Vincent's place on Friday night. They all played beer pong or whatever. I went with Jen and Lucy to Roanoke on Saturday afternoon. We went by Towers Mall and visited the Fresh Market. Let me just say that place is amazing. We bought some lunch there. I bought an Italian Panini sandwich and some cherry yogurt covered pretzels while Lucy bought some Bruschetta and Jen got some spinach artichoke dip. The food was incredibly good. I plan on going back sometime. I wish they had a place like that here in the burg. We went to Valley View afterwards in hopes of finding me a dress for the ring dance, but didn't have any lucky. Maybe next time. Ryan had his party on Saturday night when we got back. It was so much fun. So many people showed up. I'm not sure what happened to Jen and Tyler. They said they were coming, but didn't. I'll have to get in touch with Jen later. On Sunday I just kind of hung out with dad in Cburg. We took care of some errands and whatnot. I went over to Ryan's when we got home so I could watch the Super Bowl. John, Nora, and some select others came over as well. It was a good time. I feel so quiet around them. They're all so close and are just louder people than me. I get quiet and shy in those types of situations. I'm not good in group situations; one-on-one things are better for me. Everyone's nice, but I don't feel like I have much to contribute so I don't say much around them. I'm sure it will get better as time goes on.
I was thinking a lot about music this weekend since I fixed my iPod and burning CDs with Chris for Ryan's party. I thought about the memories that songs conjure up. Like Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" will always make me think of slow dancing at school dances. "Power of Love" by Huey Lewis makes me think of riding to high school with Erin since we would play that song every morning since we loved it so much. And My Chemical Romance's "Helena" reminds me of cleaning up the Crank at night. I can't wait until I have memories of Ryan from a certain song. He does sing "Build Me Up" by the Temptations to me sometimes :-) It was always one of my favorite songs, but he has put meaning to it now. This relationship we have now is growing and I couldn't be happier.
And back in the real world, I have to start preparing for tests this week. I have one or two maybe this week and some next week that I have to start studying for. Ugh. I feel like the grind never stops except for on the weekends which never last long enough. I'll probably opt to study at Ryan's so we can see each other. It's supposed to snow a lot tomorrow and Wednesday (besides being ridiculously cold as it has been) so maybe we'll actually get a snow day at Virginia Tech. Even though it's next to useless to hope for that, you still have to think positive ;-) Maybe I'll get snowed in at Ryan's. That would be nice. Snowed in and no commitments to deal with. That'd be the life. Just curl up on the couch under a blanket and hang out. Definitely take a nap or two. That's my goal for tomorrow. It most likely won't happen, but no harm in wishing! I should probably get ready for math now.
