listening to the twilight soundtrack WUT WUT

HAY so its been a while! i'm in st. louis in a new apartment with new roommates and new books for my classes that start tomorrow. and yeah i am listening to the twilight soundtrack, and yeah it is as dramatic and spooky as you think. there is a song on there by iron & wine ("flightless bird, american mouth") that has been stuck in my head for a few days. also i am feelin kinda emo at the moment. i just had a really perfect weekend with nate, and now that i'm going to be in class/studying constantly, he and i are going to see eachother way less. and with 2e working him up to 60 hours a week, he is exhausted most nights anyway. i am so happy that we're actually in the same city again, with the option to see eachother whenever our schedules (sleep, work, or otherwise) allow, but after spending something like 48 straight hours with him, it almost feels like we're 2,000 miles apart again. and now i don't even have the benefit of being in california. oddly, i kind of hope i end up being too busy to be bothered by seeing him so infrequently. i guess i'll have to wait and see.

so, for my own sake, here is a recap of this weekend:
friday: we met up at SubZero, a sushi/burger/vodka bar. it was sort of mediocre but still fun. i ended up passing out rather abruptly back at nate's.
saturday: we slept late and then went on a few errands, including getting nate an adorable used stationary bike. we hung around my apartment a little, and went to dinner at a new-ish japanese restaurant in clayton, and then walked to get gelato. then we saw up, which was pretty good. later we met nate's coworker austin and his girlfriend at a wine bar in the central west end. on the drive over there we passed through some truly beautiful pockets of st. louis. there was some sort of event at the art museum in forest park and it was lit up and outside there were people in formal attire waving sparklers.
today we got up really late and drove to wal-mart for some car stuff (one of nate's windshield wipers flew off his car on the freeway) and had a huge awesome lunch at sensai. then we took a long nap at my apartment and my roommate's cat curled up and fell asleep on nate's crotch. we eventually got moving and went to dairy queen for a brownie batter blizzard. it was really good, but even though nate and i shared a "mini" one, i feel like i ate waaay too much.

after that nate dropped me off back at my apartment and headed back to his. so i'm back here and my apartment is empty and i'm feeling sad, but looking forward to tomorrow. i just hope it gets here soon.
