Remember that time we started a blog to keep up with each other?
Remember when we stopped writing in it?
Remember when we made the worst life decision and moved away from each other?
Remember when that was almost SIX YEARS AGO?!
Remember when we got old?
Waaaaaaaa.

Guess Who's Back... Back Again...
... Brookie's back... tell a friend.
(well... you're my friend I'm telling, so lets put a big check mark next to that one!)
It has been FAR TOO LONG since I've blogged, and for that, I apologize. It has, as you know, been a crazy couple of months in the life of Brooke. (Thank goodness blogging isn't the only way we can communicate!)
Let's recap, shall we?
-New Job
-Life Sucked
-Life Got Better
-Moved
... I guess that's about it. Moving is the big one, as you know... that shit is a life sucker! Thankfully, we are FINALLY (almost) completely settled! And to prove it... PICTURES!

The Living Room...
The Kitchen (and our tiny stove!)
And the bathroom! The toilet is to the right, but I think toilet pictures are weird.
Clearly, it's still pretty messy... it is my place, after all. Daniel is doing a good job controlling his OCD urges, too... although I don't know how much longer that will last.
And so, we cant WAIT to have you visit! When you're done bleeding clams and saving the world, of course. Although it is my turn to come down for our HAMPTON BEACH SUMMER EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Amanda's daily affirmation... (I love my job, and my school, and my whole house...)
Happy Friday! (Cause you know, I can say that now that you actually have a normal person schedule.)
Perk #952 of working for McGregor: If, while you happen to be dropping off cupcakes at your rent-a-kid's school for her birthday, your phone alerts you that the ambulance is transporting and there is no one to staff a second truck, you can text back that you will be there in 10 mins. Then, promptly park in their spots which are much closer to your classes, refill your coffee from the free Keurig machine, and sit on the couch hoping that a call will come in so you don't have to go to calculus. (Unfortunately, no one felt the need to rescue me from the Fundamental Theorum of integral calculus by needing to be rescued. Ahh well.)
Not a bad start to a day that I anticipated was going to suck, being that I got out of work at 6am this morning. Mood is infinitely improved by free coffee. Also I had a nice breakfast to convince myself that a 45 min nap would just make me feel more sleepy.
Tonight, Emily and I are going on an adventure up to York Beach because I've never been and picnics are awesome. Jackets required. Tomorrow I am working a 24 hour shift in Somersworth, which is fun except that I have no clue where I am when I work there.
[As I am typing this, in Rudman Hall, (The bio labs) there is a professor who's lab I'm trying to get into one classroom over. I'm hoping he will walk by me so I can bug him because he is NOTORIOUSLY difficult to get a hold of. So naturally every time I hear footsteps I look up. And 5/10 times it's been the same woman walking by. She has since called me out as being "easily distracted, you keep looking up every time I walk by!" Oh well.]
Tomorrow is Miss Katherine's birthday, and on Sunday I'm going to watch her as a bluebird in Cinderella. Could not be cuter. Hurts my heart.
Now my love, I must go, and learn about genetics and molecules and other biologically related things like that. Punnet squares are my favorite. <3
Second favorite, I mean. You are clearly my favorite biological entity.
Lerv fererver!!!

Hi... my name is Brooke and I'm a Lazy Runner.
We should probably start our own Lazy Runners Anonymous. Especially since I have my half marathon in September... definitely no one is clapping for me right now. Haha.
I love you and your snow forts. I'm in New Employee Trainng right now... almost two months later... and I'm fighting to stay awake. Wishing I was watching Barbie Princess Pegasus. Or Sparkle Unicorn. Or whatever.
Danny is already chomping at the bit to get back to Dover, so I'm sure our next trip won't be far off. Once we're financially stable again after having to pay two rents and deposits and everything else, we will be Manner bound!! Although, you have to definitely make manner buns. Bc Danny says his are better.
Yeah, right.

Confessions of a bad blogger...
"Hello. My name is Amanda."
"Hi Amanda."
"It has been 10 days since my last run."
-Everyone hugs and cries and drinks free coffee over my struggle to overcome exercise-
Embarrassing. In real life no one applauds you when you're rewarding yourself/it's snowing/would rather play the Sims and as such fail to be physically active. Your friend is occasionally lazy.
I have also been very bad at posting for one reason or another. You should know that I have become an adept snow fort builder and have seen the Barbie Princess Pegasus movie at least 3 times. (Or maybe it's fairies. Or rainbow unicorns. Who knows.) I also started my new job at McGregor and it's fan-fucking-tabulous and I get free coffee. So the company will potentially bankrupt in a few months and my caffeine addiction will be to blame. I'm also taking full advantage of Emily's birthday week and will be enjoying many outings with my newly legal girl next door. :D
When is our next visitation? I miss you already! Oh yeah. Danny's alright too I guess. He's invited too. :P

Just Keep Swimming... Just Keep Swimming...
Light of my life, dark of my knight (yes, like Batman... but you can call me Bob):
I have to tell you that the fishbowl analogy has gotten me through life the past couple of weeks. I finally think my tank is as disgusting as it can get because things are really starting to look like I can escape soon! Other than the impending trip to Dover (THREE DAYS! THREE DAYS!) Danny and I have decided (as you know) to live with each other. In doing so, we figured out that between the two of us, we will be saving almost ONE THOUSAND dollars a month. Holy Moley.
In other news, I got a pair of boots today for one dollar after trading in clothes at Plato's Closet and checking in on Four Square (which EVERYONE picks on me for but who's laughing now, bitches?!) Danny and I are also going to see our new apartment and make our friend dinner because she lives in it currently. AAAAAAAND we have a life plan to remedy this long-distance crap we've had for, what... five years now? We really planned that poorly. Good thing we're both so good at long distance.
Want some reading in between your incredibly awesome movie studying? Check this out!
