Ready for a long one?
Whoosh...here we go... The summer already feels like it is coming to a close, and I have to get used to the idea that classes starting up again doesn't change my life very much. I'll still be going to the same job most likely (Ridley's Book Bindery - which I actually like, but doesn't pay enough)and I won't be going to class. I won't need to buy books or notebooks, or even new pens. I don't need to dig out my bag that I took to classes, and I don't need to take another look at my schedule. In short, I have to realize i'm in the "real world" now. I'm a big kid, now! And...it sucks. But thats life, right? Being a professional student really isn't in the cards for a kid with no money. Eventually, I'm going to have to seriously do something with art history, or I'll go crazy. I have to make myself sit down and start doing my own work, after work, soon. I have to stop making excuses as to why I'm not doing what I love and just do it.
Anyway, I'm moved out of 18-07, and finally where its always 420. At 420. Living with all the kids these past 2 months was actually a lot better than i had even thought it was going to be. I was hesitant at first. Its kinda like the "don't shit where you eat" thing. 18-07 is where I have a lot of fun, and where usually, I'd like to think i am being a fun person - but living with me is a whole other story. I get cranky. I get angry. I get tired and lame. And you know what? So does everyone else who lives there, and well, everyone else who lives anywhere. In that sense, it made me feel even more at home there than i had during the year, and thats, well, nice. Being tired and cranky and angry and lame with your friends is harder than having just fun. Its a side you only show to people you know aren't going to judge you for more than a minute based on it - at least, thats how I work. If you've seen me get really cranky or angry, its a sure sign you're a close friend in my mine.
So anyway, 420 with Miss Casey Doody is great. I love our house, and I love Miss Doody, and I love the cat that thought it was ours but wasn't. I love that even though Dal (actually named Bear) won't be around anymore (or at least shouldn't since he's been taken home), Charlie will get to come live here. I love the color I painted my room, but also how little time I spend in here since i actually want to spend time downstairs. Its different, thats for sure, than 412, which I love for many reasons all its own - although it is kinda crazy standing in my backyard, having it be basically the same back yard, and looking right over at my old home. I'll never really get used to that. It will always seem strange. I guess because I only ever moved once in my life, when I was 4, before I came to college, the idea of someone living where I used to live...of a home i thought of as mine not being MY home anymore, well, its weird.
But speaking of 412, and my lovely ladies - well, my life plans have changed a bit. The big plan was me and Shell and Vegas. After realizing that I couldn't move that far away on my dad - not anymore -we've picked Boston. Conveniently, my girls are in Boston. Jess Billings-White will be in Boston. It'll be so many different parts of my life coming together in one city. When I thought about life after college...or rather, life after Ithaca, seeing as I'm still here, I deffinitely wouldn't have guessed this - but I'm glad it looks like thats the way it may work out.
Long livejournals suck. Sorry kids!
