spending all day with allison today in portland was quite quite fun.
i'm so glad i was hired at wake up call and made moolah doing a fun job and meeting such cool people like her.
amazing finds at urban outfitters and a prez for the sister for her b-day this weekend.
and new years eve was fun--hearing stories of darla's experience making it as a modEL in new york.
i cannot even fathom that she makes an amount of the 2-4 days out of a month than a majority of people make in a year.
so, for those few days she has to 'roll out of bed and be poked incessantly and sit through four hours of hair and make-up' [a paraphrase of her words] i'd say she's doing pretty well.
and despite the go-go-go of seeing people and socializing, which i'm grateful for considering it shall be awhile before i see people as i'm going to permanently be living in ashland from here on out, i find the times to really think about. stuff. him. and Him. and them. and those too. and it. and when? oh yeah, THAT. it will unfold in its own time. verbalizing my thoughts to allison and hearing her input helped mentally with the checks and balances of life.
when i first got back from ashland, i was like 'oh! love college...can't wait to go back.' but now that i've had the opprotunity to experience the luxury of a proper bed, and three squarish meals, and a grand amount of sleep...well, going back shall be a harder transition than once thought. talking to blaine about it from southern, we discussed how it'll feel like we're starting all over again. i feel like i gained a lifetime of experience within those two-and-a-half months, but that's just it: it was only two-and-a-half-months out of my 18 and a half years of existence. there's still so much to do and say and experience.
and it's a new year to start it all.
