Southlake has conquered me...
So. Today I moved my stuff into my dorm and all that jazz. All of my clothes, toilettries, computer, books, everything is at TCU. And I am at home because neither one of my roomates was there tonight and I was like eh no. Plus I must say, I will miss Southlake. And I had to give a proper goodbye to Dave and Matt ("I like my coffee black, just like my men!"). Good times tonight. So anyway, yes, sadly I have been conquered by Soutlake. The place I once considered my hell I now consider my home. There was a time when I wanted nothing more than to leave this place because I hated it (and this wasn't too long ago). But over the past year or so (starting probably around October so maybe a little less than a year) I began to really love this bubble of superficial rich snobs. Sure Southlake has problems. Sure it stands for everything I'm against. But I love it. I can't explain it, but I love this town in all it's consumer driven drama and superficial standards and ignorant judgements. Southlake has converted me. In the superficial meaninglessness, I have found some semblance of meaning. Southlake is now the place I look forward to coming home to on long weekends; it's where I'll get to see my friends who are out of state or far away and it's where my younger friends still live. I know this is a change from the usual Kelly. Or maybe not. Maybe this is just like American Beauty; I have found something profoundly ugly at the core yet it's incredibly beautiful. Siiigh...My next post will be from my dorm room; I shall eventually move in there (should be tomorrow) and stay there tomorrow night (hopefully my disappearing roomates will return)...I really hope my internet is up tomorrow night because it wasn't this afternoon and I was like a room, with no roomates, I don't know what rooms my other friends are in, there's nothing to do till tomorrow when Howdy weeks starts, and I have no internet. Uuuumm no. Bleh. I'm actually tired tonight. Sleepy time.
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get
Death Cab for Cutie is amazing

I know what you mean about Southlake; it creeps into your room while you are sleeping and rapes you! DAMN SOUTHLAKE, SAVE THE EMPIRE!
Strangely, I've been up here for a week and I'm not missing home yet. But that's because I've had a ton of band to keep my mind off of it. With classes starting this week I'll just have to keep you posted.
Enjoy the week before class starts, it's definitely a fantastic week.
Hey, you have an interesting blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a Georgia computer service site/blog. It pretty much covers Georgia computer service related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
