Currently Listening Our Endless Numbered Days By Iron & Wine see related

Blame myspace, but I haven't been on here in forever. However, I am inspired by Sarah's and Christine's updates. I'll be so happy to see you guys soon! Crazy. Make up for last time... which we should remember was influenced by extenuating circumstances.

This time is different- except I'm still broke, lol. I don't start my new job till I get back- my new job as the Manager of a museum! A small one, but its medieval, hahaha! They actually have like old fashioned feasts once a year, really! Lol.

I just got a crazy new phone, very nice. I will show it to you soon. They're very big on their phones over here. I still don't know how to use it quite right, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm very worried I'll drop it.

I want to talk to you all! I want to help Christine in the big decision for grad school! I want to hear Sarah's CD and have her sign my copy, lol. I want to eat pecan pie made by Nicole! Is Karyn still alive?!?! I have pics of you all from parties gone by on my laptop screen saver and now my phone... those were the days... now they're different, but the bonus of being an adult is that when you get a paycheck you can fly abroad and stay with me and see Europe. Right? Right??? Not that easy, I know... but... we've all gone through a lot of big changes in the past few years and now we're here... and I want to make sure that the next things that happen in all our lives are great...

I'm so waxing philosophical. Blame the Easter candy... Sam's mum sent us home with loads of it and they really do it up here- giant chocolate eggs. I fought them at first, but they're really good. I can bring one home for you! I think there's one left... a giant golden egg packed in my suitcase. Maybe it will hatch on the flight and unicorns and kittens will come out. That would be great. Lets picture it... kittens riding unicorns! I so had a picture of that on my Lisa Frank trapper keeper.

Anyways... finishing up my last few days working at the theatre before the long haul... I will definately be shell shocked when I get back but more than happy...

At work early, no internet yet at the house. I feel really bad for being out of touch with you guys. I've tried to call you recently after not talking to you since I've gotten back really (what, two months now?) and I know that I've been really busy- as our you guys- but I want to really apologize because you are some of the most important people in the world and I've neglected you, and not made time for you. Maybe now since I've hit a plateau, and things are settled (new home, job, etc.) and I actually have the time, I'm saying it, and I'm going to do it- I'm really going to keep in touch better. We're all so far away and the last thing I want to do is lose the special and important relationships I have with people who mean so much to mean- I think about things we did all the time, deep meaningful moments, silly laughs, just routine stuff like getting food or hanging out, and I miss it. It is hard to be away, and while I understand you can't come in December, it's really hard to know that you won't be there. It is and isn’t a big deal, but I understand how everything goes. Paying for everything (we’re not doing anything big, but it will be really nice and special) but just the fees for me to stay here, is going to cost almost $1,000.00, which we don’t have, and are just putting on my credit card (the best use of it ever, I think, lol). So anyways… I get it but it’s hard (as is everything else in our lives and will be for the rest of them) so I’ll just get over it and think about what’s next, and how time will pass until I do see you again. I know your all undergoing lots of stress (for lots of different reasons) and I know that you will be ok, like I ended up being, because we are really strong, special, important women. If you do need anything, just email me and let me know when I can call and give you a pep talk, like you helped to give me when I needed it. J

copied this from myspace, sorry for the repeat

Well my new place is nice. Brand new. Kinda off the beaten path, getting used to the new neighborhood. Roommate is cool. FYI I took over a lease for the summer for my friend Susana while she's home in Spain. FINALLY got a phone, but no internet yet. Been using the library's. Lots of thesis research, I'm so geekerific, my sis is Miss Rebelicious, and look at me... hahaha... I LOVE IT.

So I got rejected from the job in Cleveland. Despite popular opinion it does not rock. That was my best prospect so far, so I was upset, I had a migraine and cried.

But wait...

So I've been making a film for the museums here for the research project I was working on. I've been going all around town and stuff, the greater county, meeting curators and shooting in museums in their collections. So geeky! And fun! I'm getting to see the area and all it's stuff. Rock. So that's good experience and no $$$. Oh well.

So thinking that absolutely no one has any vocational interest in me, I felt like shit, but THEN today I got a call from a place in York that I applied for (GREAT JOB!!!) and I'm shortlisted and have an interview Monday!

And then Brian may be getting me a part time position working on photography/book/research thing for the hall. Wow!

And I have an interview tomorrow for a (shitty part time) position at a science museum in town. I got rejected earlier, but they "kept my resume on file" for real and called me back! We'll see if A)they want me and B)I want them pending the other stuff.

So... that's it for now. Just work and work. Woohoo! But my new place rocks. COME VISIT GODDAMMIT! Oh well... go me Miss Geekadorkhotstuff!!!

gotta go too hot inside for once... yeah, really! it's not raining!!!

Eating an old egg salad sandwich. Will probably make me ill again.

SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sick of hearing myself anyways so I'll leave it at that.

The Ball was interesting... had a great time with my friends, although we all drank a lot and got pretty silly... some girly problems came up, like jealousy about men, but oh well. I guess I was ranting about some stuff, after the fact, although I don't remember it at ALL, haha, thank god I didn't make any drunken phone calls. Somehow, we all made it back to the hall. The next thing I know I've changed out of my dress, and my friends are dragging me off again, and suddenly we're in another hall in a flat that's packed with people (and apparently drugs, although I didn't see any, thank goodness!) and crazy lights and drum and bass music and we're just dancing away for what seemed like hours. And then we're outside and I'm smoking a cigarette(???) and speaking Spanish to some French guys??? Oh yeah. So anyways... I spent today recovering and tomorrow it's back to work. Everything is due on Friday. Yeah....!!! And now my Aunt says she wants me to come to California to help her with her school thing, like I did last year- but it's in two weeks!!! I was like, WHAT? I might go to California in a couple of weeks? Ahh! All expenses paid, thankfully, but geez! I gotta decide, there's lots of things going on here, and next thing I know I'll be moving. Eek! Oh well. Miss you guys... wish I could talk to you... but work and stuff... yeah... LOVE YOU!!!
