i'm a utard

i know, i'm wondering the same thing: how could this have happened?!

moved to utah to go to the Y: august 2000
graduated from the Y: april 2006

lived and worked in utah for 16 mos after graduation, during which time i:
forgot to renew my michigan DL at home, so got a utah DL: january 2007
bought a car in utah, partially paid for by a loan from a local, utah credit union, licensed, registered, and insured in utah: april 2007

moved to washington to go to grad school: august 2007
realized that my registration expired in april 2008: march 31, 2008

so, i was planning on waiting until my registration was about to expire and then switch it over to WA, but realized that i'd also have to get a DL here and probably switch my insurance and everything too...such a pain!!
BUT they probably already sent my renewal packet to my old apartment in provo...and in order to renew in UT i need the UTAH safety/emissions inspections which i can only get IN UTAH... i suspect i may be able to get an extension since i'm out of state, but by the time i get out of class the DMV is already closed (it's an hour later there) and neither the online information nor the touchtone menu cover these types of issues... gah! frustrating!

cheerfuller

so, it's been a couple weeks. guess i had to let the drama settle.
i did cry today, but it was understandable and about school drama, not a boy...well, it was about the school drama that came about as a result of boy drama, so really it was about the boy... but now both of them are done and i feel good.
i wrote this to my buddy calvin on facebook, and i think it's pretty representative of my new, less depressed self:
"blllaaaah...penguin. yay. boys...um...blah.
i haven't had a good refreshing beverage in a while, but i had some lemonade that was okay even though it was ghetto from concentrate
today was a good day, and it was sunshine-y and i got a nice email from a nice boy, and no one played any tricks on me except rex sent me a penguin too, but that's okay.
:D"
so, yeah...happy april fools day!
can you say that? is it supposed to be a happy day or a mean one?
i don't know.
i was almost going to call the nasty boy today. i needed someone to talk to the drama about and he seemed like the most reasonable person since he knows about it. but luckily one of my real friends asked me about it first so i didn't have to. that was nice. i have a good friend. even if he thinks he's a bum and tells me i should slap him if ever we meet again. i might, but it would be a friendly slap. haha. i'm being goofy. at least i'm not a psycho-crying mess like i have been on-and-off a lot lately. yay!
