April Showers...
The month of April. Wow. (I'm ignoring that I've been such an epic failure that it's taken me a month to post again.) Where to begin?
Dating sucks. Okay that's not actually true, I had a good time during the whole whopping three weeks and some odd days the relationship lasted. What I hate is that people fall in love with me so easily? I got into this relationship making it very clear that I didn't want anything serious, and the next thing I know he's dropping the L bomb on me. Aren't guys supposed to be afraid of that word? I'm starting to believe that no one in Utah understands the concept of casual dating. Which considering this is the state with like THE lowest average marriage age, I guess I probably should've figured that out sooner. It's official, I'm moving to a saner state as soon as I can.
On a good note, my brief foray into the dating world has renewed my sense of powerful, independent woman strength. An event which just happened to coincide with an incredibly awesome episode of Glee all about the power of the woman. I'm starting to notice a lot of freaky parallels between my mindset and whatever the week's theme of Glee happened to be. I think the show might be brain washing me. And I love it so much, I don't care.
The end of April means only one month left until I'm unemployed. How suck-tacular. I've been filling out an endless pile of job applications for the last week. My brain hurts.
Our family trip to Hawaii fell through. The family member we were supposed to be going with decided to invite a half-dozen other people and honestly what fun is Hawaii if you're staying in a house (even if it is a mansion) with a half dozen women over the age of seventy? Ugh.
Silver lining! Instead our family decided to make a trip we've been talking about doing for years. So in June, we will be going to spend a week in DisneyWorld, Orlando. I am totally tripping out! I've been to Disneyland Cali about a dozen times, since Cali is comparatively close to Utah, but we've never gone to World before. (Heck, I've never even been east of Utah before.) I'll be going on a plane for the first time - yikes! - and staying in a hotel inside the park. Looking at the pictures of the hotel, and it's totally way nicer than a mansion on the beach. It's going to be a busy, exhausting week trying to cover as much of the park as possible in a week, so I'm sure I'll wind up sore and worn out. Not to mention that the humidity will probably drown me since I'm so used to Utah's "dry heat" but honestly, I'm so deliriously happy that I could care less. Squee!!
Oh and a new discovery this month: Dating screws with my writing muse. For the weeks that I was in a relationship, my muse practically died. I had to struggle to make myself write anything, and what I did write was way below par. Literally in less than twenty-four hours after being single again I started writing again, and not just on my epic fanfiction that I've been plowing through but on my own personal fics too. It's been phenomenal! Starting to think maybe I need to break up with people more often... (Kidding, that's cruel. Don't get the wrong impression of me.)
And just sending a shout out to Mother Nature here. It needs to stop freaking snowing so I can go out and jog, so I can quit my soda addiction again. Besides, now I gotta get in shape so I can survive seven days of walking in Disney. (Squee!!)
