Hey Diana, where the hell have you been?
Well, good question. I’ve been crazy busy, having fun and enjoying life!
Here is a rundown on what is going down:
Work
I can honestly say that I love my job which is something that I haven’t been able to say for the past 6 years. Going to work is never a chore and I actually enjoy the people I work with! It is challenging, personable and allows me to grow into a more senior mind frame. I guess it doesn’t hurt to be earning a liveable wage as well!!
Relationships
Well, this one is a bit tricky. Sometimes it is better to take a chance and have it fail than to never have taken a chance at all…
Sleeves and I lived together for 5 good months but a decision was made a little over a month ago that we should just remain awesome wicked friends… sleeves will be moving out in 2 weeks to the wonderful Kitsilano and I will continue to enjoy my castle in the sky by my lonesome. Nothing but positive feelings surround this very difficult decision.
Bartending
In May and part of June, Diana went to Bartending School and loved it!! Sleeves and I both took it together as a fun way to pass a weekend and now I find myself actually looking for part time work so that I can spread my joy of making the perfect martini. I have an interview on Thursday at a place that shall remain nameless until I find out if it is a place I can see myself slingin’ drinks.
Other fun and random things.
· I am volunteering at a cooking school scrubbing dishes in exchange for cooking lessons, free meals and wine! Well, I actually start this Saturday, I think it is going to be fun! I’ll share any cool recipes.
· My brother just left Vancouver after visiting me for 10 days. It was honestly the best time ever!!! He came at a good time too, considering my rather significant break up that I’ve been experiencing. We did all sorts of fun things like kayaking, kicking our buts up the ‘grouse grind’, lynn valley suspension bridge, as well as eating way too much gelato.
· I have 3 other house guests coming this summer including one of my best friends Linh arriving in July, my best friend Ren who will be coming to Vancouver for the Pride celebrations and then super wicked awesome kells will be coming for her annual ‘visit Diana in Vancity’ celebration!!! Everyone should visit me!!!
· I cut my long hair to my chin as it was pissing me off… seriously, how does anyone get past the flatness of short hair?
· My camera screen has broken. Okay, this is not cool… only annoying. Dang, I need to get a bartending gig tout suite!
So, there you have it… Diana is alive and well chilling on the west coast and praying that this lousy june-uary weather would end and the summer would come!!!
