PFL. Post Freed life. PFL is not cute. I miss my Freed family like craaaazy. That's all I'm going to say before this post turns into a tearful, depressing ode to thee our dearest FHU.
Someone once called Freed a "life-source." True. No Freed for me means no life right now. Maybe I'll find a job soon and reclaim my life again. Hopefully. I've got some new life plans now though. I'll tell more about that in a later post. Possibly.
Someone also once told me I should never leave Freed because then I won't have any more fun time things to blog about. Also true. Sitting at home watching TV really doesn't constitute a good blog post. And I don't have much internet access... so even if I DID have fun things to write about, I wouldn't be able to.
PFL also means being snowed in is BORING. This weekend, NC had one of the most beautiful snows I've seen in my life. I was so excited until I realized I had no one to play with. Even my little brother decided to get "snowed in" at Grammie and Granddaddy's. Needless to say... there were no snowman building or snow angel making fun times in my life. Sad.
PFL with no vehicle? Frustrating.
Current PFL in one word? Sucky. I'll be sure to update my PFL status as things change and (hopefully) get better.
Okay, so not everything has been sucky. I've gotten to spend time with the fam and some wonderful friends-- one of them being Jennifer. Have I ever told y'all about her?? We met in 2nd grade and were best friends all the way through high school. And through college we've not been the best about keeping in touch, but we hang out every time I'm home and it always feels like no time as passed at all. I've been blessed to have such a great friend here and I know that she's here whenever I need her.
Thursday we hung out for the first time since summer and of course it was fun! We went to our "usual" restaurant, Olive Garden, for our typical mid-afternoon lunch/dinner. Then drove to Edward McKay's which is this awesome second-hand Book/CD/DVD store. We weren't in pursuit of anything in particular but were ready to make fun of people /things... but when we got there it was abnormally quiet so we couldn't say anything funny out loud without judgement being passed by those around us. Needless to say, we got bored real quick and eventually ended our evening at the movie theater.
There were only 5 other people in the theater. Looking back, that may or may not have been a red flag. Word to the wise: don't go see The Lovely Bones. Unless you're in the mood to see a horrifically bad and anti-climactic movie. At the very end something happens that probably isn't supposed to be funny... Jennifer and I started laughing hysterically. Probably because it was at that point we realized we spent the last 2 hours watching a movie that ended like THAT. Stupid like THAT. So, I really want to give you a true Ashley summary of this movie and tell you what THAT is... but I won't. Juuuust in case you do end up going to see this dumb dumb dumb movie.
Okbye.

Imagine a PFL without Facebook and all the other media that keep us connected every day all the time to everyone we've ever known. That was my PFL. And, yeah, it sucked. I went on, though, to make more friends and live more of life than I ever dreamed possible at Freed--which is not to say that the people I loved there became any less wonderful.
It's also not to say that they're all gone from my life, or that they've all stuck around. You keep growing closer and further apart and back and forth again with many of them. It is, as they say, what it is.
And, dang, at least you have a boyfriend. I didn't have anything close to that :).
Also. I'm sad about The Lovely Bones because it was a good book. That's all.
I just got back to my room and got on facebook. This is what I saw:
Rachel Gary: to quote Ashley Payne's most recent blog, "PFL is not cute".
In which case, I was excited that you had posted again, but then I was excited because you're so big time!!! YAY!!! =)
