The Red Balloon

Rediscovering this world with the realization of an adult but the nuances of a child carrying a brand-new red balloon as it trails behind them in playful glee.

Beautiful Austin

well, i'm posting this really quickly before my Art History Survey class.

My trip to and from Austin was so much fun. The ride down there was good, it was nice to get out of Lubbock for a change. I haven't been out of Lubbock since Christmas holiday and it was killing me. I'm used to leaving lubbock at least once ever two weeks or something like that, but plans continued to crash on me. Derek and I met up with some of his friends on Friday night when we hit his house. He lives in a beautiful secluded area. There is a valley behind his house and hills and trees everywhere. I was so jealous! His parents are so incredibly nice too. They seem to like me. All his friends and pretty much his parents said too that i'm the most normal girl he has ever dated. *laughs* Thats really funny considering that me, normal? nice. At least i don't have mental issues like some other people, at least i don't think i have mental issues. I could be fooling myself though. *laughs* Anywho, i met one of Derek's really good friends of all time and she is such a sweetheart! I loved her to death...such a talented artist and a lucky bastard at the same time. She is going to go sailing with her familly for 7 years around the world. How do i envy her. I would love to travel like that...just get up and go. That would be absolutely amazing! *nods*

Saturday we met up with Amanda at the mall. And we had a wonderful time. My inverse lesbian lover and i chatted for hours and hours. Derek said that he learned more about me then than all the time combind-ed that we have spent together. "I know how to learn things about you now, get you infront of one of your good friends and listen." So true, so very true. There was a Rison scare at the UT campus so we made sure when we took Amanda back to campus that she would be ok. I love that girl. It was so nice to see her again, and she and i are SO hanging out again over the Spring Break! *dances* Derek may come down too...he should. That night we went to a bar named Momo and heard the band, The Hero Factor. Absolutely amazing band. Very very very good. I totally recomend it to anybody...look them up on myspace. They also sorta taught us that we have to up our playing skillage for our band. It will so happen, i'm excited.

Sunday we lounged around and then headed back to Lubbock...the bane of both of our existances. We both made fun of Lubbock so much on the way back. We also listened to Elton John. *grins* my happy place! I was singing along to alot of the songs and Derek decided that i'm going to become the head singer for our band. I laughed at him, because i can't sing! *laughs* I'm going to play flute, learn how to play piano, and sing? Ok...whatever. We have to get a band together anyways first. We are short half the instrumentation. Mr. Medley, my flute instructor from back home and a Tech Grad., said that he would help me on a crash course of composition and stylization and add-libbing. Just like the old days, we joked.

Anywho, I stayed the night at Derek's place again, which was sorta funny. One of his housemates had a buddy over and they were studying while Derek and I were "playing" in the other room. I think they were thinking that we were having sex...and actually we weren't. *grins* Yes, i have my reasons and they are staying with myself. But Derek did say that he is starting to figure me out...he said that i'm not that complicated after all. I told him that i'm not...its just that my life is complicated, but personal self is not. It took him that long to figure that out? Okies!

I'm going to cook for him on Thursday: raman and a salad. The boy needs to eat more greens and fruit. Then he wants to cook for me over the weekend. I said that would be fine. Then after next week I am outta here...and back into the Bubble! SPRING BREAK BABY! I can't wait to go home, and acutally be able to drive myself around! *nods*

Well, class starts in 15 min. and i need to do abit more clean-up work before i go...so this is the end of this entry. *huggles* Joey, please be careful when you go on tour. I'll pray for you, take pictures and have the time of your life! *nods* I'll miss you emensuly and i can't wait until you come to lubbock to visit, or when we go to the ren fest! *nods* *huggles* dear!
