I'm all out of wit for today. Check back tomorrow.
Alright, so I guess it might be time for an actual life update over here. And I'm hoping one or two of you even still care ;o)
So, as most people (except for a disbelieving singingmechanic) know, I started my job on February 21st as a trader in training for Ameritrade. In case you were wondering, yeah, they actually do call us "baby brokers." My life is so Boiler Room right now. RAWK. Anyway, so even though it's not something I ever thought I'd be doing, I'm loving every minute of it. Me, the girl who can't even balance a checkbook, is learning how to invest other people's money. And despite the fact that I'm back in a call center, everything's working out okay.
I've been getting to spend alot of time hanging out with friends I've neglected the past few years. I've also made some great new friends lately. And then there's Lisa...who amazes me sometimes with how much she rocks. So everything's working out okay with the social life too.
I got a new car about 3 weeks ago now. It's a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. A few of you have seen it, but for those that haven't, her name is Mathilda, she's blue-silver and sexy as hell and every single person who has seen her has commented that "wow, it's such a grown-up car." So apparently I'm a grown-up now. *groan*
This past weekend I went to the St. Patty's Day celebration on Lower Greenville with some friends and *gasp* a guy. He and I have been talking since maybe September and as it turns out, he totally rocks. And he's totally one of the best kissers ever. Things are pretty chill at the moment and that works for me. Coming home from work today I was wondering why, if he's so great, I'm not as excited about things as I was the weekend I met Adam. I was tempted to think maybe it was because I don't really like the new guy, but then I realized that no, it's not him. The bottom line is that I was young and naive and I will never be able to be that blindly optimistic again. It doesn't stop me from being hopeful, but for now I'm perfectly content to just let things go whatever direction they're gonna go.
There's that and the fact that I'm still so *blah* about the whole idea of relationships. Not that I don't want one some day, but it's just that the last one was so mentally exhausting, I'm not sure I'm ready to go there again. I'd love a relationship, but I want things to just fall into place. Great sex, no fighting, similar life goals, complimentary temperments. And it'll fit like a puzzle and never get out of sync. In short, I want the fantasy but I know that's not how things work. You always have to work hard at relationships and frankly, I'm feeling selfish and lazy right now. But who knows...maybe things really will mesh well and maybe it'll fall into place. Or maybe I'll get a burst of energy in the last lap. Whatever. I don't know.
What I do know is that "King of the Hill" is on and I want some soup...SOUP FOR ME!
*taps mic* Is this thing on?
