FOR THE PAST YEAR.
i’ve neglected this. my humble blog. my one REAL blog. my “blog” blog. oh my.
granted, it’s because i have livejournal, tumblr, facebook, TWO myspaces (one for my music and one for my ego), twitter, formspring… okay, so maybe my life is kind of consumed by the internet. just a little bit. okay, a lotta’ bit. maybe i should cut down a little.
please notice that my thoughts are more scattered than normal. i currently have two tests coming up tomorrow, Connor is a wreck because i’ve been such a bitch because i’m stressed out, i’m getting fat because i’m a stress eater- you get the picture. also, i’m taking a focus class on the Beat Generation writers, and i’m emulating Jack Kerouac’s spontaneous prose.
okay, so maybe that last one was only half-true.
the past year, in short:
- GRADUATED!
- ROAD TRIP! to Manzanita OR, Eureka CA, San Francisco CA, Sedona AZ, Lordsburg NM, San Antonio TX, Austin TX, New Orleans LA, Houston TX, Tulsa OK, Wichita KS, Denver CO, Salt Lake City UT, Boise ID and then we FINALLY got back home to Seattle! it took us about three weeks and now i’m itching to get back on the Road. gotta love that pavement.
- had some friends visit from Europe and NY. showed them around Seattle. it was nice.
- worked at a HORRIBLE boutique for the two meanest gay men in the world. was fired because i got mad at them when they called me fat.
- my brother got arrested on an armed robbery charge three days before thanksgiving and went to jail. i spent thanksgiving with Connor’s family and got to know them a little better. i made two pies. they were a big hit! yay!
- brother is put on house arrest, thus begins the worst six months of my life, in which i won’t go into much detail other than to highlight the fact that i gained 10 pounds from stress eating.
- brother goes back to jail, then goes to rehab. all is well again.
unfortunately i’m still living with my parents, but that will change soon. i’m moving in with one of my best girlfriends, this lovely lady:
this is Caitlin. she's been one of my best friends since the first grade. she is an incredible artist and a total heartbreaker. i love her! also, forgive my freakish appearance. i had just been in a musical.
and, of course, my guy. we just found a duplex near my new job (at a cafe! in Fremont! woohoo!), it’s in an old Victorian house and i think we’re going to go for it. it’s a two bedroom- a small bedroom with lots of light and bookshelves for Cait, and Connor and i will be taking the larger bedroom; which happens to be in the attic! very cool! it also has black-and-white checkered linoleum in the kitchen and has peach interior walls with light gray trim. i’m totally in love.
that’s all i have to say for now.
