Hey Livejournal, long time no see.
Holy cow, I've got so much going on.
Things with Graham are great. He's finally consistently taking his anxiety medication, which when he's off of, he's like, irrational. So that's good.
Work is fine. Coworker threw a fit today when I asked to switch a shift for a gig. I'm in a caroling group this season, and I have eight gigs so far scheduled between now and Christmas.
Church is good. I wish I could sub for evensong's at Graham's church, but its like, off limits. Natalie still makes my life hell and tells people bullshit lies about me. Graham and I have been together almost three years now, she needs to get the fuck over it.
I'm better at making friends. I finally got past a lot of negative self speak. People never dislike being sought after, and I realized to make friendships what I want them to be, I have to pursue people.
I have so many fucking ideas. So many ideas. Online selling is going well. Pawn shopping going well. I made a fuckton of money last year doing it, but less this year. Not only is that going to change, but I have another jewelry-related entrepreneurial endeavor in the queue.
On top of that I am taking voice lessons with someone who has an incredible teacher-lineage, and sight-singing/ear training lessons with a former Juilliard sight-singing teaching fellow. So that's spectacular.
The other day I said something to the effect of "I love how many little pieces there are to the puzzle!" And my voice teacher said, "That's what a teacher would say." then he goes on to say, "You have the personality for it. I think you'd do well. I have so many students now I teach 6 days a week and have to turn people away." Then he told me about a teacher training in New York in january, and asked me to consider doing it. He was like, "I could send the people I turn away to you, and help you build a studio."
Goals:
Get my Ruby Lane shop up and running for vintage resale
Get my diamond/engagement ring online tutorial up and running
Finish the current GIA course I'm in
Complete the teacher training
and finally:
QUIT MY JOB.
I'm giving myself six months.
