just an update
So, yeah, I don't update. I don't keep up on emails. I'm a horrible computer person. Blah. =(
So it's getting close to a time when I may not be able to update for a while. I'm moving into my own place soon (yay!), but alas, MY computer no longer believes in it's 'on' button. I'm thinking of asking my parental units if they happen to have a spare laptop or computer they'd be willing to give/lend me, but I'm not really holding my breath. I don't really want to be without internet access, though, considering it's my only connection to some people. Something to look into.
I'm very much looking forward to getting a place of my own. The more I think about it, the more excited I get. I'm a little nervous; never lived alone before. I've found that I go to great lengths to NEVER be alone, so I'm considering this a personal challenge. I'm also considering it a chance to follow through on a few things I've been wanting to try out - namely, sewing and poi. (For those who don't know, poi is something that originated in New Zealand, and it consists of putting kevlar wicks on the ends of chains, lighting them on fire, and spinning them around your body in a neat kind of dance. You can find out more at homeofpoi.com, and I highly recommend that you check it out!). I may get into something along the lines of meditation or yoga, too. I'm definitely interested in becoming more of a whole person, capable of spending lots of time alone without freaking out. I'd like to be healthier than I am, although, with my culinary skills, that idea is a dubious one indeed. I may have to learn how to actually COOK - and anyone who knows me knows how disasterous that could be. =) Maybe I'll have my Melissa come up and teach me how to make some basic stuff - and how to shop for things like meat (I really have no idea how to pick out meat). I'm going to attempt to quit smoking, mainly by not allowing myself to smoke indoors. It seems like a lot to take on all at once (not to mention having the responsibility of paying ALL of my own bills, on time, without making myself broke), but I feel ready for a challenge or two. Living here, with 3 other people, has been a learning experience, and a challenge, but not really what I need. A space of my own...it sounds delicious. I have my own room here, but it's just not the same. I don't spend any time in there - mainly because I constantly have friends to watch TV or play video games with. I may not even have a television at my place - don't currently have one tucked away, and it's not high on my list of 'things I really need to buy'. I'd much rather just have a washer and dryer, and a computer.
Blah blah blah.
So my trip to Europe is officially cancelled. Disappointing, but relieving at the same time. Melissa and I are going to spend a week baking ourselves on Daytona beach (or somewhere thereabouts), which I'm very much looking forward to. I miss the beach more than I thought I would when I moved here. I miss my Melissa more than I can even say. =( It's good to have a friend who really, really knows you, ya know? I'm one lucky girl when it comes to friends.
Uhm...yeah. Ran out of things to say for now. Peace!
