whoooa...
Well, good things are definitely happening in my world, and I can say for perhaps the first time that I'm pretty fucking sure I deserve it.
In a little over a week I will have a fantastic new place with fantastic new people.
I'm getting more and more musical/lyrical ideas and once I am settled into the prior mentioned space, I will be able to really buckle down and get things finished.
The withdrawal from my relationship is steadily fading. I have been able to spend lots of much needed time with friends and family and it's been the best possible thing for me at this time in my life.
I've finally been able to run around the city and explore, meet new people, and find some new favorite places. I'm also finding a lot more of myself by doing this.
On the subject of people, well...I don't know how else to put it other than men seem to be coming out of the woodwork (many with glasses!). One guy who I'd originally thought I would live with (awesome apartment in the mission, totally my style and with quirks galore) just contacted me and said that basically he didn't think it would be a good idea for us to live together "with you looking the way you do and having such musical depth. That is, I think you're the cat's pajamas and would much rather take you out than be your roommate." Also, I just had a date last night with someone who very closely resembles Ben Gibbard from Death Cab...and I've been spending more time with an old friend of mine whom I'd had some good times with a couple years ago. So, yeah, I'm definitely not ready to settle down with anyone anytime soon, but even though I'm not too into actual "dating," I am definitely enjoying the positive attention. I've been in dire need of some for awhile.
I know things are looking up when I get this warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy:-) It's like someone's looking out for me. Nice to think about, anyway.
