A Long Awaited Return
I know it's been ages, but I'm back here...on native soil and on an incredible journey as a budding journo for my school's newspaper. I got center-piece again today!!! Woohooo and this time with colour baybeee!!! Even though I got a snarky comment from the online edition, I can't help but feel so accomplished. I also showed my sister the multimedia I did with another fellow Daily Titan staff writer today. Are you overwhelmed with my busy life yet?
This semester marks the end of an era. I will be completing my undergrad by the time the fall term wraps up in December, however I have to walk in the spring. Oh well, I can graduate with the rest of the class so I'm in a good mood. I guess being a part of the Daily Titan and spending time in the newsroom has really been a joy and inspired me because I'm actually realizing that I want to do this for the rest of my life- talk to people and report the story for all the public to read. Even though I'm quite hard on myself, I think I can build on what ever is thrown at me.
So you all should read my articles at www.dailytitan.com, search my name and you will find all my work so far for the paper, which includes some old ones for another class. I'm plugging the shiet out of this aren't I?
Anyways, I think keeping secrets secret is a good thing because otherwise, just like the wildfires in Cali., it will just spread and cause unnecessary destruction above and beyond anything a person can possibly imagine. I learned from blabbing to everybody and their mommas in Europe and I don't want to make the same mistake twice this semester. So no dishing out any juicy details to fellow staff writers because dammit, I don't want anything to conflict with my work and presence in the paper. If you are confused at this point, I'm sorry but I'm not spilling out anything which includes what the hell I'm talking about. All I'm trying to say is, I rather not tell people about my personal life and have it get out of hand. This is something I rather would like to keep to myself thank you and NOT report. I know it sounds so fucking dramatic but what can I say, I live for the drama!!
Speaking of drama, I'm still trying to find ways to stop thinking about the past. I want to move on and I have plenty of things on my mind that can help me do this but at the end of the day, all I have is my memories and thoughts about him. I think about what could have been and how it could all be different. I guess if you care about someone so much, you can't stand the thought of being apart or having to put your feelings aside because it is just not meant to be. Why is love such a loosing game? Amy Winehouse speaks the truth with that song- Love is a loosing game. It is all I've ever known. I'm so jaded as a result of my past that the thought of starting over again is such a frustrating thing and I don't want to think there is somebody else out there for me. It's not like I've given up, I just want to realistic think things through and not have such high hopes about a future that is so hopelessly romantic or ideal because it could possibly not happen for me. I'm being real and if that means being a career woman, than I'm all for it. It makes sense as a journalist to be absolutely driven and not let petty things distract me from reaching the promised land- a real-life entertainment reporting job. However, after listening to A Fine Frenzy, I can't help but go back in time and relive every moment no matter how much it hurts me to think about it. I think these lyrics pretty much sum up everything because if it has the power to make me cry than it damn sure means something:
A Fine Frenzy- "Almost Lover"
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
*Snifs* It's good to let that out now, otherwise I would just have it explode inside of me like a bad case of diarrhea. Haha.
As for today's events, I'm glad that I interviewed a student who has a kick ass internship with a company that puts together the gift bags for the stars during award shows. I can relate to some of her trials as an entertainment industry intern. So all I have to do now is write the article but after I talk to her mates and co-worker. My deadline is Monday but I think I can get it done much earlier and I prefer that because I can work on another article, basically I have always something cooking in the journo oven.
So as I wonder why the hell I told my best friend that I would go with her to Knott's Scary Farm, I think this is great time to stop writing and get down to business.
Cheers if you read down this whole rant.
