Relationships, History, Medicare and introducing Bella - the flashy, shiny new ipod nano!
I remember when I used to update this thing more than once a day! How times have changed.. I do read everyone else's often, but just dont say much myself. I noticed, while perusing those old faithfuls LJ'ers who update frequently.. (Im looking at you Mark!), that it has been exactly one month since I said anything on here.
I suppose there has been a few things happening in my life of late. Ive bought a few DVD's. I love to expand my collection.. I bought "Stranger than Fiction" (hilarious!) and "Marie Antoinette". I will be honest, Marie Antoinette isnt a great movie... but it is visually stunning. The dresses, the shoes, the cakes, the countryside, the hair styles, the furniture and interior decorating.. its all so wonderful! Like a dream.. And thats why I bought it. I think the story definately had substance - but it wasn't well played out. Shame really. Had the potential to be an amazing movie - it is a riverting little snip of history.
I never liked history. Not since aftter taking Modern History in senior at high school. It was just kinda boring.. But now Im finding it really interesting... but its not really the kinds of history we studied in Mod. I love hearing about the people and their stories. Royality, the French Revoloution, the scandals.. How people used to live back then!
Recently Marc and I had a crisis of relationship. Got to this stage and all I can really discribe it as is, awkard. I did some serious thinking that day.. After being with the same person for so long (well what is long for me) I had to for the first time in 18 months imagine me as a single and seperate entitiy. Being on my own, without someone I had invested so much in emotionally. Completely disconnecting from his world, which had become my world. It was really confronting and made me feel so strange, yet oddly calm. I remember thinking how upsetting it was, yet how I could see through it rationally. I have NO doubt that had we broken up, I would have gone through the typical stages of a breakup:
hurting like hell, regret, examining over and over the possibility of getting back together, rebounds, jealousy of any females in his life that he is not related of, jealous of those he IS related to, eating several blocks of chocoate, going through several boxes of tissues, hugging my pillow and my best girl friends, eventual acceptance.
However.. I had to remind myself that I am my own person. My life isn't his life. It was scary, yet refreshing. I am happy to report that Marc and I are fine and it was one hurdle in what I am sure will be many in our relationship.
I have accepted a job at Medicare. Its like processesing and stuff in the city office. Yay! I get to be a commuter! Thankfully I have recently purchased a new ipod nano (her name is bella and she is blue..) which should hopefully make the journey a little more tolerable. Bella is awesome.. she is so tiny and skinny and plays crystal clear videos and equally clear music. I love her. I realised long ago I can not live with out an ipod in my life. My pink mini - "Steve the Musicanator" is still going ok.. though his battery is a bit worn out and wont last too long after charging. But dont worry, I still love and treasure him.
Well that was a long and fairly uninteresting entry. Now back to this assignment.. which is due in about... 48 hours.
