I have simply been so tied up in massage school and work its silly. It was my 26th birthday yesterday and i joyfully spent it relaxing, eating good food a good person made for me and reading my book. Basically nothing more all day.
IN school I have been doing very well. On all of my finals and other tests I have gotten 96% - 100% on every one. I have made some friends and been very happy to find out that I am more gifted then I knew I was with massage. Some of the teachers have taken to calling me up above getting one from their usually LMTs because i am better them. I have finally had my work schedule reduced to a very doable one day a week and will start up this new term the 24th i think. You should so hang out with me while my time is my own. much love, laura

coming so close to being done with this term and trying to figure out what to take next term. So far in two of my classes I am getting over 100% and in the other class I am not getting 100% because one week she lost my home work lol sigh. So I rewrote it up and am turning in tomorrow. The test I look I got a 95% on and have a bunch of extra credit so... I guess I am doing damn fine. Which is why I am being guts-y and taking two sciences this next term and two massage classes and possibly more electives as well. Soy muy loco!

I still am head over heels for my love. He is very supportive with school and life in general. Helping me study and still helping just as much around the house ( which I could always use some of).

Mum is getting close to her goal weight loss wise and was getting super scared because she loses and gains and loses and gains and simply wants to keep it off. So she said if I could join with her and excersize with me shed love it. So if she doesn't walk with me or doesn't attend the meetings then she is letting me down. Thus helping me mum keep her wight off and help me live a little healthier. I did not think I was going to be able to loose any weight my self because of the PCOS. Two weeks in of seriously not really trying that hard or bustin my balls- five pounds down. Shrug- who knows. life.

My love is leaving for the summer again- so all kinds of fun and naughtiness can occur / miss him terribly. I swear I need a girlfriend or something to make him being gone easier. God I miss him when he goes.

Going on a couple of trips this summer with out him, sun river, seattle/vancouver BC and where ever else this crazy world takes me. Come with me or take me along on one of yours! I am mostly free this summer minus classes on occasion.

I had forgotten how to study, write a paper and how to deal with my time being so fluid. I will admit I am so much more healthy and happy. Thought I seem to never know what day it is and miss appointments because time just isn't as important as before. That makes me mad thought because I hate letting people down. When it comes to school I have been doing very little of that to be honest. Every test I have taken I have gotten and a on and been proud of how well I test. Bribing people to come study with me for a massage works kinda too.

We have lost about half of the students who started the term with me and it makes it harder for me to "bond" with my fellow students never knowing if they are coming to class the next day or not. One i loaned one of my massage table to and then she did not come back tot he next class after that and had quit school. Of course she hasn't called, damn. Plus I have a teacher I am incessantly butting heads with. arg ok well right now for the next four weeks I am only partly taken for two days a week. Tues and Wednesday are my school days and next term in like four weeks or so it will be me partly taken on Mondays and Thursdays. Love all of y'all and look forward to seeing you.

Many people know about some of the great pains that hunger has brought to the human race. One of the most well known is the potato famine of Ireland in which over half of the population died, but it seems the most forgotten and covered over is the Great Sushi Famine of Japan.

About ninety years ago the sushi plant, the staple of all Japanese meals started to wilt. They found that the roots had started to be afflicted by some kind of fungus. Try as they might to stop the process all of the sushi plants started to die.

The life cycle of a sushi plant would dramatically affect the whole country. As the main source of food, it affected everything. In the low lands they had huge fields of sushi plants which provided for most of the country. Now they had nothing to export which affected them financially but also their food stuffs were dwindling quickly. Whole fields lay fallow and the structures of decaying very established vines were a constant reminder. The low lands started hording what sushi they had left and the villages in high elevations started to suffer first. As time went on though, only subsisting off of fish for the low landers and game in the mountains, things started looking bleak.

Game was starting to get scarce quickly and the low landers were suffering from illnesses that only occur when having a diet of predominantly fish. The whole nation suffered.

The sushi plant it's self is a vine. Like the well known wine grape vine, for the first few years the production is almost nothing and not of very good quality. A very good vine of the age fifteen years and well tended can produce rolls with fifteen pieces in many clusters. There of course were many different varieties of sushi plants yet all seemed afflicted. Vines that had been tended for whole generations died off. Communities attempted to replant but the new vines were all ravaged by the same blight.

Almost a full year passed. Over sixty percent of the population was either dead, starving, or ill with dis-Pisces-ious and many other effects of the fish only diet. People were so hopeless that there are many known documented cases of the ritualistic suicides called sudoku all thought the country.

An older man from the high mountains who lived alone came down to the village about once a year for salt and other staple supplies he was unable to harvest from where he lived. Well fed and happy he was astonished at the state of the peoples in the village. He was an early research botanist and had been working in hot houses for years breading different plants and also making them less affected by cold. Some of which was about twenty varieties of sushi plant. He knew what he had to do.

The soil and land in the hills and mountains had never been exposed to the fungus that had killed all the others so when he started planting what was left of his village poured every ounce of effort into tending those fields. All outsiders from the village were not allowed in, just in case they might carry the blight with them. Even with the first meager harvest the town threw a festival which they named Sashimi Mogodeskedi.

The villagers took starts from those first plants and took them to the villages near by and taught them how to plant, tend, and raise the vines. Also teaching the people how to guard against infection of their new fields. Each of the villages around them celebrated with them the next year and on that same day the merged the villages. This was also partly to expand their fields but also to help protect their new and precious crop. Others had heard of their success and were willing to fight and kill for it. Other villages joined as well and soon the union was strong and great.

They named this alliance Tokyo. Soon they were able to safely pass on how to raise and protect this new breed of sushi vine to the whole of the country once again becoming strong and bringing back hope to the people.

So when you sit down with your friends next time for a nice plate of sushi, remember the cost to the amazing country of Japan. And also know, no one in over ninety years has ever tasted the original sushi plant. No one will ever know that again.

I took the day off with Sean yesterday to help his mum. She had about 20-30 cedar trees in her back yard all felled but not other wise taken care of. So for several hours I was perched on a house high stack of trunks and smaller branches clipping with of course non-mechanized clippers and throwing down branches to other people for being hauled away. Sean, looking oh so lumberjack-esque was wielding or fixing a chain saw the whole day. He did a lot of work too but I couldn't get near him to kiss him for doing so much for his mum because I was afraid of the chain saw. So we worked so hard and then kind of surprise like needed to baby sit his nephew. Which they went to go get a movie and the kid got one was looked like it was for kids but it was very! not. So we played video games instead. I ended falling asleep very early because of how hard we had worked.

Today we are finally getting a new mattress. Ours has gotten so very bad that he have had it propped up with pillows so we both don't fall to the center. So we are also getting a slightly larger bed because Sean sprawls so bloody much. So two new sets of sheets. Grocery shopping. All sorts of shopping today. Then to his family's birthdays dinner for Sean and for his brother and for a quasi relative as well. Also for our one year anniversary. SUPER YAY! Only two more weeks till our one year and I can't wait. So Possibly on Monday we shall be going back to do more on Sean's mum's trees and then on Tuesday I am giving my two weeks notice. Which with this company often when you give your notice the next day or two you show up with a box on your desk and a quiet request to leave and they pay you for the next two weeks as though you did stay. Hopping for that because as the jerk I am, I love being paid for doing nothing. If I don't get my box in three days of working there more I will quit on friday. And then yay! for going back school. It will give me a couple of weeks to clean house, prepare a study area and go on our holiday at the hot springs.

Also if we agree on getting a cat that would be when we would get it. I would be home to help it acclimate. For a few weeks. Then I would have someone to interrupt my study with needs to be petted.

I love my weekends. Though whenever it comes to chores... when it comes to those.... sigh Sean has difficulties with them in some respects.

I got to go with my friend Justin on Saturday and do something good. I got off of work early and he came over. Near death by good pizza. Then I told him a story about something that happened a long time ago and then how someone else was describing it to me and how strange it was how differently we experienced it. Then we discussed this trinket and what it meant to me etc. So it was just something I needed to get rid of. Move on, to not own it was something I needed to do. Throwing it away was not an option because it still had some kind of meaning. I had tried giving it back to the person who owned it two or three times.

So Justin and I made a ritual of it. We went down town and walked over the big bridge. Full moon and the river at night are very pretty. We talked for a while about what the whole thing had meant to me. We agreed. Growing experience with some fun in there too. So pulling my hand back and letting loose a small flash of silver got smaller and smaller and then a small splash. It felt good. I linked arms with Justin and we talked about something else completely.

My love got home and almost finished off the other pizza. Movie was enjoyed and I got put to bed very well. For Sunday was my love's day to mess with his new very very awesome computer which he over clocked a few times just to see how hardcore it was. Other than a quick visit to the parent’s house the whole day was nothing but computer games, computers and movies. Aka his day. Although while he played games for several hours I clean out the book case, went through things and then moved the case vacuumed under it rearranged some of the items on our wall and then put it back and put back all the books too.

Monday we both had off and it was supposed to be my day. Aka crap gets done. So since we bought a new computer re arranging the whole computer space is warranted. We also need to weather strip the doors in the house. So to the bank then to the book bin to donate books and then off to lowes to buy weather stripping, a new battery for our power tools and pricing making a basic table for his extra computer stuffs. Oh! Did you know there is a sushi train place in town now? We just found out yesterday about it. So sushi coma and then to Costco. Home to drop off food then to ultrasound appointment then back home. Love had clean the kitchen some and then we went outside to weed. His idea of weeding is doing big stuff. He cut down a starting out tree and pulled out large things. I pulled very very small weeds so they could never get huge. Then praise the freaking lord he fixed the seat in my car. A quarter was the culprit. Wedged in the sliding system. So we did get some stuff done but then from there I simply had burned out his do stuff ability. So for the rest of the night we play on the computers watched movies and of course argued about the only thing we ever argue about, electric car, to buy now or not to buy now. Once again determined now is not the time. Le sigh.

Now I wake up to him coming home from work not feeling well and making up a hot pack for him. Poor thing. So to make potatoes and such is now in my days plans.

Well I was massive sick. ok this is kinda gross so if you dont want to hear it skip to next little bit. Ok so i had an ovarian cyst break wide open and hurt. Usually takes a while to heal and minor internal bleeding which i can usually take like a champ/ pro but i was starting to get fever ish and then soon i was out and out delirious and half dead unable to basically do anything. So. damn damn sick and start feeling some better but still terrible headache and lower abdomen pains. Right on.... so off i go to a doctor who says that not only was i minorly internally bleeding but it had infected and i needed massive antibiotics so i don't have more of my organs become infected and die. so now i am on horse pills alive and not surgeries or failure of my kidneys yay.

ok better news. So even though I am not intending to stay long at my job i still got me a raise, a $2.40 raise which for me is good. An extra 200 ish before i think i shall quit. If they offer me a schedule that will work around my classes then perhaps ill stay as long as it pleases me. Which i doubt. i really massively wish to quit, like.... yesterday but most likely about 18 more days to actually walk through that door there which translates to 3.5 weeks ish.

My love is getting his new computer for his birthday. I gave him 2.5k to get it. Man I am a push over. he sold his car and got back alot in taxes so i suppose its only fair but still. We are getting outta debt only to go back in not only for my schooling but for his comp too. Which i know i know he will more than pay back just in over time this summer. My dear sweet hard core hard working man who wants to put me through school. Sexsay.

My parents have gone insane. They say they cant afford anything, they barrow money from fam and friends but then are saying they are going on two trips which both together will probably put them out one thousand at least...........??? I will never understand me mum. I before knowing this offered them something i sorta whipped up/thought up, asked all of us kids to put our money together to make one of mum's dreams to come true which so blew up in my face. No oddly not with asking all of my siblings for money lol but when my step dad took leave of his senses and said that he was going to quit his job to get time away from work and that the vacation i was offering was so short it would just piss him off. I hung up at this point. they argued and now i am not even sure it is happening. And then i head a few days later my mum plans on going on a trip that will cost her most likely a minimum of 550 bucks. um. if i think about it for to long i start feeling my self getting angry so i have been trying to breath and change the subject of conversation with my self.

So I am thinking i might send myself on a trip before i go to school. If i feel as though I wish to only stay home then i shall take the cash I was planning to spend on the trip and the lowes gift certificates i have been accumulating and redoing our ugly dining room and fishing the other bed room. You know how much i love tasks/ getting stuff done. Having never done a mural before the bed room is still emotionally daunting but still. i wish to have it ready to go as my practice massage room before i start up school. Oh and i am hoping before i go to brieghtenbush hot springs for our one year anniversary. STOKED!!!!

So in summation; not dead, insane parents, raise, quit, school, love, art. Good SO outweighs the bad!

So. We specifically talk about future plans. What to do with this girl here ( me) who needs some kind of direction. He told me that he was going to support me through massage school. When I feel ready and comfortable and we can work out a loan situation. In the mean time they have intensive classes I can take on days off or request days off. They have a class that usually takes a whole term in a 4 day work shop in late march, a one day intensive to take care of an elective. I am excited at moving forward and this is about the best and most sexy one year aniversary present anyone could give. Hey hunny, do that one dream youve always wanted. Better then going to Europe. Better then a week at the coast and cirtainlly better then chocolate. I love how supportive he is and how he says jokingly that I will be so good he can retire. I love doing massage and look forward to a year of learning more about it. We don't know exactly which term I will start in. Or even if I will go full time for a while. Mostly because it would be interesting to see how many classes I can manage without going full time "intensive" classes. I intend to start out in a chiropratic office or somethign along those lines. I am very looking forward to schooling and learning again. Because I am a nerd.

I ask my self why didn't I go sooner. Right after highschool I was already doing reaserch for it. Which school would suit my needs the best etc. But my mother convinced me it wasnt a good enough job for me and I ended up working at the hospital trying to find out which hospital job would work best for me. The answer after almost five years of working every where from post surgery to intensive care units and the emergancy room to simply medical office with nothin exciting going on was that the whole place wasnt for me. Not as a nurse and not as an xray tech and not as a paper pusher.

So when I left that job I sat floundering and not knowing what to do with my self. Because now when I going into debt or make any large decisions its not just effecting me. Im putting us into debt and I am making big decisions for both of us. I guess I needed permission from him, for him to want and or need me to move forward just as much as I do. He did. Just stright up told me I want you to do this. He was the one who brought up massage school and it sounds just as perfect for me as it ever did. god i love'm

So registering process will happen once we have worked out which loan we need and how we are going to work this into our lives. Going to the bank today to see what the credit union would offer and then if we don't like what we get there, another lunch hour of his will be taken at another bank. this boy has got a habit of makin my dreams come true. Sigh...... smile*

my stupid job has kept in away from almost everything i love and such. I really wanna take the day off of work but if i was going to take a sat off for hookie reasons I'd wanna do it on a night i gots plans. I cant wait un till stuff is paid off then I can go else where and not be as high stress getting sick needing physical therapy and glasses just to be able to sit right. Arg stupid money even though its unrealistic I hope we get just tons of money back from taxes and i can leave in a mere weeks. Mmmmm then i can apply at the hot springs aww yeah. other than work life is much better, mum has no cancer, my sis got a raise, my other sis might be moving closer, and my love is learning more and getting more responsibility at work. Now i just need to figure out what the hell i am doing. Since i started this job i haven't gone hiking, visited a friend in their environment, or really gone out much at fucking all. This trend disturbs me. Alot about this job disturbs me. Some days I have fun and love being able to help people. Other days i want to simply stand up and walk out. never come back. Im close, a few months away..... sigh months.

So I havent posted in quite a bit. New job, new motions forward. New dreams hatching. Paid off the home improvement and now just the wedding and a couple minor other things next. Please for the love of god nothing go wrong. I did some of my first sex toy parties. They are fun and Yet I am only half way to my goal for the month, if I don't qualify I get kicked out lol... sigh. Wish me luck.

New job is better than I thought it was going to be. I actually get to help people. I have a new in town play partner. We shall see how that goes. Had a nice quick phone session for good cash the other days as well. If I can keep sales up with this company and keep some other things going well along with my full time job I just might be above it after taxes.

I am a weird person who looks forward to taxes, with how much we spent in solely just interest this year.... We should get goodly amounts back, especially since I didn't work for about half a year.

Brietenbush was nice and lovely. Though it was interesting kinda goin on my best friends one year anniversary. shrug. I think it was the first time I had ever hung out with her hunny sober or with out a movie goin on.

Family is goin crazy with broken hips possible cancer and accidents of the roll over nature. Life is... interesting to say the least. I look forward to something... shiny.
