There are paperclips EVERYWHERE!!

It's as if the paperclip factory exploded on my desk. I really have no other way to describe it. I have a big desk, and ON this big desk I keep my little container of paperclips (among other things of course). I'm constantly un-clipping and clipping papers with said paperclips... But it just blows my mind that no matter how often I pick these paperclips up off my desk and put them BACK in their container, they just end up everywhere again. I don't know how it happens! I think there's a little office gnome running around, scattering my paperclips. Seriously, they're under my speakers, my calculator, my phone, my moniter... I just really don't know how it works. It's aggravating.

It's pretty lame that I was sitting here proofing a co-workers work, and I was so annoyed by the sea of paperclips I was drowning in that I had to stop what I was doing to get on here and blog about it. That says a lot. It says that I have nothing better to write about haha.

OKAY so break from the clip woes. Alan* (names changed for anonymity) gets back in town in FIVE days. July first, he'll be here. I've never mentioned Alan before so here's a quick catch-you-up. I went to school with Alan back in the day, haven't seen him in person since the tenth grade. Tenth grade. That's approximately 5.5 years since I've seen him. He moved high schools and then when he graduated he joined the Navy and was off to San Diego. This past fall he found me on Facebook and we began talking all the time. He was around for all of the ridiculous drama I subjected myself to with the last guy in my life. We'll call him Paul. Not to say that I bombarded him with my woes every day, because I didn't. I just mean that after all the crap I had to deal with with Paul, I could always know that there'd be a friendly IM waiting for me from Alan. He was always so sweet. So anyways, Alan and I talked all the time, every day. It got to the point where it felt like if he was back home, there could be something there. I miss him, which is weird because I never really had him in the first place. But we connect, even if it's in such a distant way. He's said that when he's back in town, he wants to take me on a date! How adorable is that? I'm so excited for him to be here, I can't wait to see him and give him the biggest bear hug. He's given me something to look forward to all these days I've felt so glum.

Five days.

I've got to get back to work.. Just wanted to chat =] I'll write again tomorrow after my appointment with the advisor at the local community college. That's right... KTG's going back to school!
