(no subject)
I quit my job in hopes of making packing less stressful than last year. I quit for personal reasons as well, namely poor hours, shit pay, and stupid humans. I mean a button is not a nickel, nor will it ever be, even if you put it under your pillow at night waiting for the Button Fairy to come.
We spent last week in New Jersey mostly looking for a place to live come the end of July. No such luck. It appears you cannot find an apartment more than 2 weeks before your move in date. Thus, we will be moving down to Jonthan's dad's house July 26th and will resume our search then. I dislike New Jersey strongly. More than I thought I would, but I'll stick it out for as long as I can. It's the wiser choice from a financial standpoint, as well as geographically for Jonathan's first year of Law School. Maybe when he starts practicing and I'm in my final semesters we can move closer to my school. We'll see what develops, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm playing piano at a wedding tomorrow. For those of you who know the history, you are aware that I have not played piano since the passing of my Papa last February. It shall be intersting. But I can tell you, my performance anxiety has not diminished. Jonathan will hopefully be standing by with Klonopin and alcohol tomorrow night.
In other news, a knock came at the door of my mother's house earlier today while I was there showing off my new haircut. It was Katie. She's in town for the week, and she brought me a present. An AUTOGRAPHED INVITATION of the party we went to at The Church (for those of you not from the area or living under a rock, its not a religious thing, its the new performance hall that Ani funded from the historical church in Buffalo that was set to be demolished, thus resulting in Buffalo losing the fabulous architecture that makes it unique). Ani herself signed it...yes yes, I am THRILLED!
I will let the giddiness subside (for now) as I have to get ready for the rehersal tonight. But yes, after tomorrow I will have a small window of time that is completely free and not occupied by packing or family stuff. So I extend the invitation to hang out whenever. Now I must rant, as usual, about something. Thank you for your time.
I feel out of whack with the people of my generation to a degree. One of my childhood friends got married last week. Another has been married for two years and his wife is expecting their first child, a boy. At least a dozen people I went to high school with are now proud parents. I dont know whether to be happy for them, or wonder what they've gotten themselves into. We are roughly 21 years old. It doesn't seem like the time to be rushing into marriage and paretnhood quite yet. We should be finishing school, or working dilligently, enjoying time with our family and friends before stepping out into the real world, if we haven't already taken that first step. Maybe I'm out of touch but I don't think rushing into parenthood for the sake of having someone to love you unconditionally is a great idea. Children take a lot of work, love and money, so does marriage, neither of which will result in unconditional love. I don't know where people find the time and energy at this stage in our lives for such things.
