Wow, after all these years people kept me as their friends.
I'm honestly touched. I'm so bad with names that a lot of you I don't remember as clearly as I'd like. In fact, not to make people jump through hoops or anything, but if any of you still keep up and I saw that some of you do, could you kindly reintroduce yourselves? I'd like to know your first name (or whatever I identified you as a few years back) some kind of fun fact about you, something that would help me remember. I hope some of you reply, because that would be severely cool.
I was hit with a sudden feeling of nostalgia this evening and decided to check out my old LJ account!
That last post I did there... I totally deserved what I got from people ridiculing me! I was being a bit of a drama queen, it's true. I've done a lot of growing up.
Let's see... what have I done since I left?
I have had hmm... a couple of jobs since. I'm now a flight attendant.
I've attended school off and on. I need to finish my Communications degree, but I also need to get a feel for when I can fit that in. The lifestyle of a flight attendant is a weird one. I'm on-call most days, so I'm a little scared to schedule anything for fear I'll have to go in to work.
My relationships - I was in a really hurtful one for about 6 months off-and-on riiight after Eric and I broke it off. This guy was pretty much using me physically and cheating on me. The worst part was that I knew it and stuck around anyway. He's what I like to refer to as "rebound guy." I had to make some bad choices and get hurt before I could grow to appreciate what true happiness is. Eric and I are still good friends.
I am one half of a long-distance relationship that's been going on for almost a year. My boyfriend lives in Maryland and we're more madly in love than I've ever been with anyone. This is, scarily enough, the REAL DEAL. We started things slow, we've had difficulties, we've fought (which I neglected to do in the past and it caused a lot of bottled-up anger) and we are pretty sure that we want this in the long-term. But who can say how things work out? He's younger than I am, which gets me a lot of grief, seeing as the double standard goes where the guy can be as much as double the chick's age, but not the other way around. I'm only 5 years older but that doesn't change how we are emotionally on the same level.
Whether that says he's mature or I'm immature is yet to be determined.
We met up IRL for the first time on December 2, 2006 in New York City. Our first encounter was right in front of Carnegie Hall. Who can say they've done that? It was wonderful and I hope we can do some sort of "anniversary" thing this year, even if that's only the anniversary of our meeting, not our relationship starting.
I have a group of compadres now! I don't know if I went into this in detail when I was on this, but I used to have a really hard time making friends, especially with girls. Kerri is my main bitch though and we're going to be getting a place together really soon.
I've been continually losing weight for awhile now. I feel healthy even not at my goal weight. I use
sparkpeople and I love it.
Anyway, I know a lot of you might not remember me either but love all around! I hope you're all doing well and I'm thinking of getting back on the ball with LJ - a new account, even if I am now *gasp* 25.
Can you believe it??
Anyway, cheers and talk to you later.
