I have so much to say generally but I just never seem to get around to it. I have lots of thoughts around depressing things like relationships, divorce, and mental illness. but I also have lots of thoughts around community, politics, life and love.
but, it’s a bit late and I confess I want to watch Survivor before I go to bed :)
sometimes I get grumpy and fed up, but generally I really am very happy. frustrated at times because I do struggle with loneliness, but for the most part I’m quite happy and content. oh and my job has been making me so pissy lately, as I’ve mentioned here and there, but I’m also actively taking steps to try and make it work.
in good news, it looks like a friend of mine is going to be a travel partner for me while we go to either Mexico or Cuba in February. I’m excited!! I’ve been actively trying to make a trip south happen for at least a year, and I’ve been thinking about it for at least four. I’d rather go as a big group, but I think just the two of us will have lots of fun. right now we’re trying to figure out where to go. Mexico seems cheaper, but overall Cuba has a better reputation. in a little bit we’ll probably make a decision. probably something all-inclusive just to make things simple, I’m gonna guess. we haven’t really talked too much about this.
if you want to keep up on my life from day to day, the best place is actually Twitter I have to say. look me up. it’s my first name and last name all in one word. but, I’ll also try and post here more generally too.
ooh, okay before I go I have to tell you this: tomorrow for lunch I’m going out with two friends that are a couple, plus a guy that they want to set me up with. a blind date that’s also a double date. ha! should be fun. after work I am going in for a consultation on my next tattoo: scattered snowflakes up the inside of my right arm, from wrist to armpit. then I play soccer — first game of the indoor season and it’s against my sister team so that will be fun. and then I am going to meet up with the girl that I made out with in August (that I never mentioned here) and I think something fun is going to happen. something I’ve never done before, so it scares me and I’ve been avoiding her, but I’m finally ready I think.
life really is good with me. I just use this journal to bitch a lot. but honestly, I’m pretty okay with my life. and I love you, just so you know. even though you never comment :)
