This morning at 10:45 AM I strolled my lifelong pagan ass through the doors of...you won't believe this...church!
And no, I didn't even burst into flames!
I did this for two reasons:
1. My mentor is a born again christian. Luckily, he's not been preachy or soapboxy at all, although he's been open in sharing his experience and feelings about it all. And I, although...

It's been a super long and exhausting week...

Working under my new mentor has been a blessing.
Despite the fact he calls me Fifi and gives me lots of good natured shit...he also takes the time to let me know the things I'm doing right, well, and improving on.
He shares with me his repair plans as though I were a worthy listener...and he...

i'm sorry...i know heartbreak is a real bitch, i'm just recently getting over my ex. she really walked all over me, which now makes me skeptical about anything that may happen with someone new in the future.

I don't think it's sad at all at least the people on SG we choose to talk to.
It's cool to hear NYC was was a blast for you.
In my own little neck of the universe I followed your example somewhat and threw my self out of my comfort zone and took a leap of faith. It's aparently a long leap since I don't hear 'till Wednesday....

**Being tired of surveys written by 14 year olds, someone came up with this one that was supposedly for the "pepople in the real world."**
1. Worst damage you ever took in a fight?
Check it...but don't worry, I hit him first...
2. Most money you ever owed a utility company?
I remember having to pay $300 to get my electricity turned back on......

Yeah! A grown up survey and look I just stumbled upon you and your a local!!! I'm in Salinas, unfortunately, but not for long we're moving to Santa Cruz. 
scullyt:
I'm born and raised so i must say that I will avoid moving out of state to all means. It's always different i think when your born and raised!! I do hate Salinas though!
I need an auto mechanic, where do you work?

That was awesome... and then got more so when you mentioned ZZ Top.
dmac:
Girl, you look like holy hotness!!! 
(and don't let anyone give you shit about ZZ Top -- they're awesome in their own quirky way!)

My long weekend home was exactly what I needed...to clear my head, rejuvinate, re-up on my warm/fuzzy feelings, and really get a look at what's going on with me right now.
It's true...to be home pulled at my heart like nothing else can. My heart pumps blood through veins mapped out like the NYC subway system...

After a small moment of panic at the Monterey airport 5:30am yesterday...finding that one of my flights had been cancelled...it turned out to have gotten fucked up in my favor...reducing my number of layovers and getting my plane to touch down a good 3 hours earlier than planned!
This gave me enough time to hang around with my friend Meri and get the keys to...

I totally understand. I used to live in the boondocks, and I don't think people realize that a 1-2 hour drive can seem really daunting after a long day. If you do get up here, you can always crash at my place (provided you don't think I'm creepy). I can sleep with my roomie.
Prom should be fun, but I might be skipping it! I need a minor surgery that I'll need to get before I leave CA...and that may be very soon!

SOMETIMES LIFE GETS CONSTIPATED...
Sometimes the shit going on at work gets all backed up.
Every confidence breaking interaction with my mentor.
Every asshole-ish comment out of my boss's mouth...
Every mistake I make and missed opportunity to excel.
Sometimes the shit at home gets all backed up.
Ever since the 'thing' with my roommate, all the negativity has gotten backed up. Making the comfort...

This is it...
This is when the breakthough happens.
When all things look dark.
When I lay awake at night and doubt the signs that I followed here.
When I doubt the signs I've followed all along.
When I doubt who I was.
Who I've become...
and who I want to be.
Yes, this is it...
I've been here before.

NOOO! I came home at 10:30 and you were gone!
I hate California.
I mean, it's true...the Pacific is beautiful.
I can buy my liquor at the grocery store.
This place...I dunno...seems to have so much promise.
Seems to have everything I might need to make things work.
And yet, they don't.
