Wow back on the east coast, crazy! I almost feel like I never left, things at my parents house feel exactly the same.. I still have to wear 1 ear plug to drown out the sounds of my dad's TV (i'm mostly deaf in my left ear so I only have to plug the right one) my parents seem the same.. if not better actually.....

Today was pretty good! Work was a little rough around the edges but overall a pretty good day, given that I've been rocking the insomnia pretty badly this week.
This evening I went to trivia in Capital Hill, as I do every Tuesday. One of my friends, friends has been really hard to get to know.. which is sad b/c she is SUPER cute. When...

Today was long! But I've been really enjoying a blossoming new friendship so that is great! I also helped introduce someone to couch surfing friends and that is great too!
I miss Beta SOOOOO much (also the toast). I cannot wait to see her in just over a week when I go home. I've been so sick of spending my nights alone so I'm super...

So apparently I've fallen back into my trend of not updating my blog.. even though I think about it several times a day sometimes. I mostly think about updating my blog when I'm at work but that cannot happen for obvious reasons. To try and commit to making a better effort when it comes to my blog I've been thinking about doing something that would...

OH, i didn't know Taryn bagged on open relationships. haha. It's always funny when alternative looking people get all judgmental because they are ALWAYS the ones that have to overcome people's preconceived notions the most...awesome.

Hellllllo internet! I've been meaning to update for awhile now but have been sort of slacking, mostly b/c I just haven't had a lot to say. Seattle has been awesome, but lonely and I'm just not a fan of blogging about my loneliness.. seems so pointless. Not that I didn't know it was going to be lonely when I moved here, i mean moving across...

dude i used to work @ ikea.
so i totally recognize all that stuff.
haha, amazing.
aww, i wish i could run over to seattle & give you a big hug. <3
don't feel lonely babe.
& about the software - trust me. i know all about stepping into someone elses shoes without any instructions.
last year, i was on a maternity leave contract running a festival that had been running for four years.
noone left me any instruction on how to do anything. and i was expecting to run the entire thing.
front to back. back to front.
stressful at best. i wanted to cry everyday. but i got it done. and apparently, people have come up and said i did it better than ever.
so you CAN and WILL do it.

Remembered my camera this time!
So, life in Seattle is pretty rad. I'm loving my apartment and my job so far, even though I've only worked 1 day. I'm starting to feel settled in a bit, I have food in my refrigerator, I made lunch in my apartment for the first time today and I'm starting to hang out in my Ballard, my new neighborhood!...

8 days until I move! I have been going back and forth between being stressed about money and not being stressed at all. I'm getting a signing bonus, but it doesn't seem like enough to get me on my feet. I'm hoping it just all works itself out.
here is a list of the things (things not people) I will miss about Buffalo
- Strawberry...

but just think - moving brings new adventures.
smythe:
It is nice to see that you'll miss your Ma and Pa. I never considered missing them when I moved. I like it better being far apart.
Alas, I don't think it will work. Le sigh.
I think it's super rad tho that things feel like you never left home.
As for the whole marriage / kids thing - I'm totally feeling you on that.
I remember when I was younger, I had this "plan".
I wanted to be super focused on my career. And, I didn't want to get married / have kids til I was 30 yrs old and able to support myself and support having a child.
I think it came from my mom having me when she was super young (she was 19 yrs old) and always struggling. I never wanted to put my child thru that.
Now that I'm 26 yrs old, in no serious relationship and meeting douchebag after douchebag - I feel like my plan is failing miserably.
It kinda sucks, ya know. I know I'm not quite there - but still.
Anyways, adoption sounds quite interesting. Would you adopt a child from a 3rd world country (a la Angelina) or from the USA.? (a la Juno or 16 & Pregnant)
Yes, I would imagine it is a rather LARGE thing to think about. However the fact that you've thought about it at all is a large step in some direction. Coolio.
