Hm...I have not written in this in some time. What does that mean? Probably just that I have been too busy occupying my time with other things such as cooking, loving, being unemployed and twiddling my thumbs. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am a bum. I'm not taking any classes for the summer and I have yet to find a second job, so if anyone wants to come visit or lend me a few dollars, please do.
Actually, I've been a little bored. I suppose I could be devoting time to my hobbies- or perhaps finding some. Eh.
Everything else is good. Tracey and I got a little husky puppy. He is our new baby, named Habbersham. Cute little furball, pretty smart, I'm going crazy because he's the only creature I've been hanging out with recently.
I need to figure out a new plan of action.
Some help please? |

Well kids, I am back from Seattle and let me tell you how Tracey and I were milliseconds away from just buying a house and a dog and never coming back.
All in due time.
Anyway, my trip to Seattle was wonderful. I had the best tour guide ever and we did sooooo much when we were there. These activities are including but not limited to:
-Going to the Pike Street Market and buying the best $10 hats ever
-Taking a ferry across the Puget Sound
-Space Needle
-Drinking coffee at five million different Starbucks
-The Experience Music Project where we saw this huge thing on Bob Dylan, the guitar Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock, and Kurt Cobain's sweater among other things
-Driving to the Pacific Ocean (beautiful)
-Driving through Kurt Cobain's hometown in Aberdeen. Their welcome sign reads "Come As You Are"
-Shopping at Capitol Hill and the U-District
-Me shooting a sniper rifle (hilarious)
-Seeing V for Vendetta, which was great and now I want to shave my head.
-Tracey and I going snowboarding, falling on our asses and getting pwned by seven year olds (we were sooooo sore the next day but it was totally worth it). At least I made it off the ski lift without falling.
I probably forgot something but oh well. All in all, I really loved it there- I can see why Tracey wants to go back. We have lots of pictures which we will hopefully get developed today. They'll probably go up on MySpace or something.
By the way, she's the best.
And now I have fifty million things to do. Ugh. |

Hm...I can only get online like every four days now. It's kind of annoying sometimes but mostly refreshing. I don't have internet at the apartment; I don't have cable either, and I barely use the lights unless absolutely necessary. I love it. If anyone hasn't been over yet, please do.
Life has been going ok. School is good (99% on my Great French Love Stories midterm!), work is good, second work is good. I have a photo project due today which I thought would be crappy, but might actually be ok. Can't wait to start working on the final one. I've been painting too which is nice. Different.
Saw Coldplay last night with David- a very belated birthday present, but definitely worth the wait. They were awesome. Fiona Apple was good too. Baaaaa. I thought the night had potential to be awkward, but it was very enjoyable. So yay. :)
I leave for Seattle a week from tomorrow with Tracey!!!!

This week basically sucked. Between passing out at work, spending the night in the hospital, missing an exam, missing the review for an exam, missing two jobs and hurting someone's feelings- I feel like life should give me a break. Only good parts were my RENT party, seeing Cassie, doing a good photo project, and watching RENT about six times. It's all downhill from there.
Luckily...things should (and are) looking up. I am resolving to be normal and boring for a while.
Thanks to everyone who baby-sat my ass for the last two days.
Anyone have any sweet ideas for a photo project? |

I will be purchasing the Rent dvd when it comes out next Tuesday and there will be a little get-together at my apartment to view it on Tuesday night after I get off of work (maybe around 10/10:30-ish?). I would love for many people to come- there will be wine and food, singing and bohemian theatrics. It promises to be swell.
Everything is going great in the new apartment- things are coming together, getting organized and looking lovely. School and work are good. Friends are great, love is grand. Life is good. :) |

Well I feel a little better now...still have a lot of stuff to do, but I'm working on it.
Tracey and I bought plane tickets to Seattle last night. We'll be going March 14th through the 20th, for Spring Break. I've never been to the West Coast before so this is super exciting.
First photo critique on Monday (yikes)!
That is all. |

This is probably the earliest that I have really been home in a while...work, school, and friends keep me out at all hours. Everything is going remarkably well- theatre is good, the hookah place is great so far, I love my friends and school is getting off to a decent start. We started processing our film in my photo class tonight which was really interesting/fun. Everything is set up for the apartment and I move two weeks from this Saturday.
Everything is great even though I am super busy. So I have no reason to feel bad right?
Yet why do I still get flustered whenever I come into contact with him? It's not like my life isn't good or that I don't feel ok with myself. I just can't shake it though. The only thing I can do is be strong and not let it bother me.
It's hard. |

I'm a little tired and stressed and lonely. There's a lot on my plate right now in between school, Tampa Theatre, Meridian Hookah, preparing to move and the other little things in my life. My brain tells me I am going in the right direction- becoming independent and self-supportive- but why do I feel like I have to ask myself what that amounts to? I'm blue and a little lonely; I wish I had someone to tell about my days instead of typing them into my computer. I have some great friends, but even they seem a little absent lately.
But I made it through the first week of school, Brokeback Mountain, and the second job alive. And that is good enough for now.
And now I'm going to bed. |

Ok, it is ridiculously early in the morning but I need to update to let everyone know what a busy little bee I have been.
This last week before school begins again has been awesome. Lots of lazy time among other things. Tracey and I went thrifting for apartment furniture and she helping me find so great stuff, really cheap. My apartment is going to look great thanks to her. Hung out with Mark some and he's going to hook me up with photography stuff which is awesome. Brokeback Mountain started at Tampa Theatre this week and our first showing sold out- which never happens for movies. It was crazy. I sat in on part of the film today though and it's pretty good so you (meaning everyone) should go see it.
The biggest news is that I have succeeded in getting a second job- before I even really started looking. In addition to Tampa Theatre, I will now be working at Meridian Hookah Lounge on 56th by USF and it seems like it will be a decent job that will work around my schedules elsewhere. You all should come visit.
In short, I am insanely busy and almost happy. |

So, my trip to Tennessee was good. I love my sister and Nick and my family. I just got home and now I'm tired.
That's pretty much it.
A thought:
They say that what you don't know won't hurt you and I happen to believe that this is true. I would like to be blissfully unaware of all the hateful and ignorant people in this world, so I will not have to be sorry for what I cannot change. Or at least be strong/mature enough to ignore it. I want to be and to live and to be happy with myself. I don't think this is too much to ask.
What do I want for the new year?
I want to live and grow, be a better person and accomplish many goals- all of which I believe I will be able to do.
We'll see, shall we? |

Christmas is stressful...I have $20 to my name right now and more presents to finish. It's not even that cold outside. Christmas in Florida blows. But I am still happy for the break and maybe once I get all my crap done Christmas will be ok.
I have to work Christmas day though. Ugh. Oh well...they're going to pay me time and a half so I can't complain too much. At least it's not Christmas Eve- I would be way more upset if I had to work that day.
Tampa Theatre is hiring right now for the day box- Tuesdays, Thursdays and every other Friday. And I need another job...It would be perfect except for the fact that all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Oh why, oh why can't it be MWF? Oh well. But if anyone is looking for a job, I can get you an application.
Tracey's Birthday is tomorrow!
And Merry Christmas to everyone. |

So Tracey and I had our "End of the Semester" dinner party last night...I'd like to say that it was very successful....good food, lots of wine, lots of cupcakes and cake, good music and good company. I couldn't ask for more. It was great.
We are definitely doing this again when I move in the apartment in February.
...
I can't believe Christmas is a week away! I really need to get cracking on my gifts. Glad school is out so I can finally do so.
I think I got A's in all my classes. :)
And this song rocks. |

So I haven't posted in a while.
Not much has happened.
I am glad school is winding down. I had my French Convo II final tonight which wasn't too bad; I have one tomorrow and two more next week and then I'm done. Can't wait.
I like this time of year. Now I can wear scarves and I don't look ridiculous.
Liz is back from Italy. She brought me a cool, artsy French book and absinthe-flavored chocolate. I love her.
I ate the absinthe chocolate for breakfast this morning. Yum.
I smoke too much.
In other news, I found an apartment. Can't move in for a while but at least it's in the works.
Life is pleasant.
Fin. |
