It's been ages.
I find myself wanting to post in a blog...so here I am.
In general things have changed a lot. I'm just going with the flow, and not really looking for anything (except perhaps a decent GPA after finals). But socially. I'm completely content. I have a decent group of friends in the Jacksonville area, amazing friends across the state (and country, now) , and I have amazing friends in Mobile and Birmingham. That's all I need right now.
I'm not unhappy, by any means; I'm quite satisfied at the moment. But I'm not jumping for joy either. I'm basking in the quiet glow of contentment, and loving every minute of it.
I've realized guys mostly create problems, rarely fix them. Not worth the effort. And the one who IS worth the effort won't make me come to him.
So. This username? Totally outdated. I wanted a new LJ username when I went to ASMS, because my old one was Sing4OHS or something along those lines (I was in choir at my old high school). I was hyper back then. Hyper beyond belief. And totally huggy. I'd walk up to the ugly old woman in the supermarket glaring at everyone and hug her. So thus it was decided hyper was to go in the username. Of course, the animal following "hyper" had to be completely adorable, because that's what I was. Completely adorable. So. Hamsters. They're cute, cuddly, and adorable. Hyperhamsters. Made sense then.
Now? I'm totally laid-back. Most of the time. When I'm not pissed. I'm not exactly huggy anymore. I mean, hugs are great, but I don't hug everyone and their mother. Hugs are reserved for the few and far between that I'm close to. So if you get a hug? Feel special. I don't think I'm adorable anymore. I think my little quirks have gone from being adorable to being cute and/or moderately annoying.
Another huge difference is that I'm more sure of who I am. I'm a totally nerdy, geeky girl who loves video games (and board games with the right friends). I'm into the rock type deal now, not rap. Not that rap is bad. I've just moved on to discover a genre of music I prefer. I'm impatient, self-assured, kind, sympathetic, empathetic, and generally a more caring person than I was three years ago. I no longer eat beef and pork on a regular basis, and it has NOTHING to do with how the animals are treated (poultry is treated just as terribly as cows and pigs before the slaughter). It's purely by choice.
I'm completely meticulous. On any given day, chances are my room is clean. Or will be cleaned very shortly. Everything has it's place. If it's out of place it must go back in it's place. I'm prompt and punctual. I'm good at speaking in front of large audiences. I'm steadfast and determined, but indecisive. Go figure that one out.
I've found my strengths and loves academically, and I'm persuing a career involving those things. Luckily for me, chemistry happens to be both a strength and a love. I've also found that I absolutely adore teaching, so that may be a part time thing. Or just something I do because I can. Who knows?
