five; OR adventures into friendship-dom with an ex-boyfriend, part 2.

....... and the score is: 

Ex-boyfriend: 1,000,000, Carissa: -50

Two words: I suck.  And four more words: I lack self-control.  It's true.  There's an infamous quote in "The 40 year old Virgin" where a group of Steve Carrell's coworkers tell his character that he's "putting the p*ssy on the pedestal."  I guess I suffer from the inverse of that affliction.  It's time that I start practicing more self control and not let my 'alone-ness' get the better of me.  After all, who is going to buy the cow when you can get the milk for free, knawwhatimsayin'?  And why open up old wounds?  Not really worth it, if you ask me.  Now I just need to learn how to stick firm to what I plan.  Three words:  No means no.   

In other news I will be attending Portland State University in the Fall for the Masters program in Couples, Marriage and Family Counseling!  I will be (hopefully) in the graduating class of 2012, which means that I'm guaranteed three years in the beautiful city of Portland.   I'm excited for the change of scenery and the change of atmosphere.  Portland is so different from Cheney and I cannot wait to be surrounded by like-minded people and in a metropolitan area!  Not to mention voodoo donuts, yum!  Of course the normal fears run through my head: finding new friends, finding a place to live, financing my education, etc, but I know that the fears will subside as soon as I arrive there.  

I've decided that I'm going to finish off my blogs with a song that I'm currently listening to.  I am completely addicted to walking to work with my iTouch (thanks Ryan!) and couldn't imagine another walk in silence.  I have a strange / horrible habit of listening to a song I like on repeat for about a billion and one times until I no longer like the song anymore, so I predict that I'll end up hating this Interpol song by the end of the week.  

My current streaming song OR the song I will hate in a few short days- 
Song: "Say Hello to the Angels"
Artist: Interpol.  
Album: Turn on the Bright Lights. 

Sidenote: Take a look at the album artwork for Turn on the Brights Lights and then take a look at Radiohead's Amnesiac album cover... very similar if you ask me.  Maybe a little TOO similar.
