Officer Flossie is disbanding.

Of all the many (too many, really) Florida bands I have experienced, Officer Flossie was the best. Better even than Send Out Scuds. I'm so sad. They gave me and haircut and drew a caricature of Mel and I.

Sigh.

So, does anyone want to go to their final show with me?

In other news, kicked Amber's ass AGAIN at Wii tonight. I miss Jesse a lot.

I'm starting to book time with people to hang out before I leave. Make sure to book early or else I won't see you and then I won't photograph you and then I'll forget you. So far I have coffee with Karli, Polish Deli Day with my mom, Cape Canaveral with Amber, and photography day with Lyndsey. And I also have a bunch of days booked for myself to freak out and about going and buy stuff like converters and film. I'm not sure there's going to be a going away party.

Also, found my Polaroid iZone camera with FILM IN IT. This is awesome.

Now, I need to sleep (= going to read Good Omens) because I am going shopping with Ambikins tomorrow... er, today.

HAPPY 08-08-08!

Mmmm, I feel gooooooooooooood.

Things have been pretty good since getting out of the hospital yesterday. I HAVE BEEN ON A ROLL. Seriously. Amber came over for the most fepic Wii tourney EVER (it was fepic because I won EVERY single game of everything we played). No, really. Mario Kart? Check. Wii play? Check times fourteen. Wii sports? Check, check, check. Super Smash Brothers Brawl? Checkity check check.

There was one point where Amber thought she might beat me at table tennis and she got cocky and said, "This is where heroes are made." and then I won. BUT THEN WE LAUGHED AT IT BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, "HEROS? OR GYROS? SANDWICHES?" AND SHE WAS LIKE, "YEAH, THE PITAS. WITH THE LAMB IN IT. WITH THE LAMINATE!" It was all very funny and if I own a sandwich shop, our tagline will be, "Where gyros are made."

She went home and I was like, "It's almost 10 o'clock in California! Time to try to buy one of the remaining 175 SGA packs." So, I went into crazy refresh mode and got one! Yay for donating $50 to the CBLDF and also getting a perfume that NEIL HIMSELF described smelling as, "green apples and like sex and vampires, all at the same time. (Actually, it smells like sexy vampire apples.)" So, yay! Lots of yay! It was sold out by the time I woke up today, so that's good.

Right now I am baking! And experimenting! I'm basically a mad scientist in the kitchen. I'm making some beer bread and I don't know how it's going to turn out. After that I'm going to make my dad some brownies because everyone keeps asking for them and setting stuff out in the hopes that I'll make them. So, I will.

Tomorrow Mel and I are probably going to the Breaking Dawn release party not because either of us are overly or overtly excited about the release of the book but rather because of the possibility of free stuff. And we've read all the other books so we might as well read the conclusion, right? I am kind of over Stephenie Meyer. The Host was okay but it didn't even get interesting until 33 chapters in and the Twilight series has just been going on and on and on and on and Bella is still super annoying and ugh. So, yeah. FREE STUFF!

I kind of want to go to Rocky Horror this weekend. Would anyone be up for that? Maybe? I'll drive.

Other than that, things have been boring. I'm all moved out of Gainesville and getting ready for the leap across the ocean (still). I need to book my hotel in London and decide what I am taking and in what I am taking it. I have a place to live finally. I'm staying in Runnymede and I'll have my own room and bathroom but I'm sharing a kitchen with 6-8 flatmates. EXCITING! I'll probably be the only American since most exchange students have to stay either off campus or in the Founder's Hall (Jillian is staying off campus). So, it's exciting. I'm still waiting for a schedule of classes or something. At least a list of books I need to buy, you know?

Right.

So, now more baking and dancing.
