i am eighty years old. and this is eighty pages long. what a coincidence. indeed.

i am not lying. I knitted all day today, and i may have knitted for a significant portion of my day yesterday. I was knitting mittens, for maddy, but after finishing both of them , i decided i didnt like them. so now 15 hours later i do not know what i shall do. I made myself and ipod case/cozy/thing this evening. it really is awesome, i wont lie. I will have to put up a picture of it with my new kitchen someday. it is burgundy, sunshine yellow, and orange striped. if it iwasnt for the orange it would be very griffyndorish, which would be fitting since i knitted it tonight whiel watching the third harry potter with my mom. it was joyful. howeer, i retain my original feelings owards teh movie, i hate how much they changed it and i hate the ending. i really hate the ending fyi. i also went to meijer and returned bottles and saw mrs smith but after calling out "helllo mrs smith!" three times and her not turning aroun di decided i could i eithe rrun down the aisle after her or forget it. and i chose the latter, hopefully i will see her tomorrow as lindsey and i will be hanging out. maybe with dave as well. that is not for sure, but our intentions. i saw lindsey in target after seeing mrs smith in meijer. then i went strolling about target fo quite sometime... i ended up buying two belts. well not reallt belts in the traditional sense, but teh scarfy sashy belts. on black and one a pattern of tanish, pinkish, and creamish tones. i also went for a couple mile run today. with a mile or less walk in the middle. the cold air was not kind to my lungs today. I was dying after a littel mor ethan a mile, sadly, and so i took a detour and walked a bit, and then picked back up on the route and ran home. my lungs hurt all afternoon and evening. i think i am back to full capcity however. thank jesus.

so yesterday i didnt do anything either. well, in the moning i went to the bank, got my haircut, got gas, went to the centennial store for my headpiece and to hobby lobby for yarn. then i knitted all afternoon, and then around ninish i went to see Life Aquatic with andrew. and then i came home and may have knitted some more. it was enjoyable. i laughed quite loudly throughout the enitre thing. i would recomend it. i mean, it was odd, but funny. i retuned home to an instant message from the lands of costa rica., for some reason it really shocked me that costa rica had internet access. i mean, especially in abundant enough supply for tourists to just be able to get online and use AIM. but clearly i do not know much.

my brother went home today... i got my last christmas present from him about two hours after he left. the long last package for "glenfarry" finally arrived. it was exactly what i wanted/needed for hours of enjoyment this quarter. many, many, nintendo games all at the touch of a button out of a controller that plugs into the tv, no consoles or anything. i even have a gun to play duckhunt with. i played paperboy for awhiel this afternoon... my skills are extremely rusty with ye old paper route. i will return though. he droe his new car home. well not new, but new to thsi family. i wonder if i will randomly come across his car as randomly as i watched it be stolen. that would be crazy. indeed.

i havent said much about christmas i guess. it was wonderful, i of course got everything i could have eve wanted or asked for, and proabbly more. it was a very pleasant holiday in the boven household.
i have an online music buying disease. it is not healthy for my bank accounts.
i leave for italy in less than three months!
i leave kalamazoo in less than four days...
oh ashley...
does it bother people when people refer to themsleve sin third person? it bothers me, but sometime si do it anyway, cause i feel it necessary or somthing perhaps.

i think andrew and i will be going shopping or something similar to shopping tomorrow afternoon. this is good. i need something at best buy that i cannot remember. and i need to return my brother's watch to Guess for my mom.

also, i was feeling quite down earlier tonight on my way home from meijer, and i don't really know why. i think it was thinking to much all day, with such minimal social interaction that happens. it started off as a happy thinking day, but that always leads down the worng path, but i got myself back overly happy and pleased with life as a whole. in fact, i would easily say i have not been this happy in life in quite sometime. a really really really long time. i mean, i have been fine and dandy and "happy" for several months now, or at least a couple... but i am finally getting beyond the average mental happiness quota. this is a good thing i would have to imagine. but who knows, i have grown to lack faith in good things, all good things must eventually end after all. well that is what i am told anyway. i really cannot belive how soon i will be out of the country for three months. .. and will probably be coming home to a new more permanent type home (ie, an apartment) in chicago. who knows though. my fondness for kalamazoo is much more present i think than it has been in the last year or two.
oh my! how i can just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. if i read that last sentence and wasnt the one who wrote it i would have an urge to beat up the person who wrote it due to its high level of retardation.

i can teach you, but i'll have to charge

someday i will have to study myself. write a paper on myself. i think it would be fascinating. i mean, i am just a nut. that is all.

damn right it's better than yours.

ooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
automatic supersonic.

ok. i am just going to be done now.
also,
actually, nevermind. not the apporopiate forum.

that is all.

cheers!
