I think I'm just going to ramble...

Today I made cookies. I think I made about twelve dozen...at least, I did according to the recipe. I'm sure it was less than that, but it was still a lot. Is that a dozen dozen cookies? Oh well. :)

Engaged life is interesting. I have the strange urge to stop people I know to see if they know Chris and I are engaged yet, when I know the automatic response of "Congratulations." Some people, those I"m close to, whom I've been good friends with, and of course family, have more warm reactions, but others I almost feel as though I'm intruding on their lives by telling them of mine. I have become quite an introvert, haven't I? Oh well, I don't mind it, and I can still play the extrovert well enough. At least I think I can...

I'm sitting on my parents queen size bed with my computer next to me as I watch Law and Order: SVU. Those who know me know of my recent addiction to the L&O shows...SVU is my favorite. So much so that it's 12:30 am and I stayed up to watch it instead of sleeping at midnight after the L&O: CI got over. Oh well. I haven't been watching tv all day, whatever it may sound like. I was making cookies, remember? :)

There are so many things I could ramble on about right now, but I'm getting the same feeling of intrusiveness were I to share them. So if you're really curious, you can talk to me. But until then, I think I"m going to be done rambling.

delayed updates...

Hi all!
I'm sitting in Chris's apartment right now at Finals Fellowship for CSF. I should be studying, but it's nice to take a break for a bit. I just got through 51 flash cards for my test tomorrow night. I have 145 more to do. So I'm avoiding them. It's alright, they won't be bad...I"m just really tired and not up for it...

On another note, I wrote a song. It's for two pianos, and I found out today that it's too difficult for even the piano prof to play. So I have to rewrite it so it's easier, and possibly comprimise some of the sound, or I can rewrite it for other instruments, namely percussion...if it were any other instruments, it'd be too difficult...the convenience of marimba methods makes it playable there. Unfortunately, the program that I wrote this song in doesn't list the marimba as an instrument possible to write for... So yeah. I'm having difficulties. Hopefully that all made sense.

So, for my last post, I'm going to make an announcement. Chris and I are engaged!!! Yay! I'm officially going to call everyone and talk to them, preferrably in person when I get home, but I thought I should probably officially announce that here.

So yeah. That's it for now.
