Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself...
Ok, here's my official hello. For all of you thinking "Who the fuck is this chick?", here's your answer: I used to be dead_bytch before I decided to drop all that (I had the journal for 4 years) and start over. It took me a sec to get back on LJ, but I think I've finally found a name I'm comfortable with. My LJ name is german for "Child of Earth". Since I feel very connected to Nature and such, it's fitting.
Thank goodness the hurricane season is almost over. Having to evacuate constantly can get pretty annoying (and expensive!). Plus you're never sure if you're gonna come back to anything. It was very difficult for me to deal with what happened over in New Orleans. Considering I felt like NOLA was my other home. Now that Halloween is coming up, that feeling of sadness is overcoming me again. The last 3 or 4 years I would drive over there for All Hallow's Eve and party with the ghouls and goblins. And go to the House of Shock. Now I can only imagine what the residents of NOLA are feeling. I wish them all my best. I still haven't heard from Heidi, although she called me right after the storm telling me she was in Shreveport (North Louisiana). She wasn't sure if her house was ok though. I'm thinking it is, because it was right by the French Quarter.
I currently work at an awesome salon. I've been there since the beginning of July. Most of the people I work with are pretty awesome. Everybody is very open-minded. I took my Cosmetology State Board Exam a few months ago and only passed the clinical. I need to re-take the theory part, but it seems like I can never get in touch with anybody at the Testing Center.
I also have been dating a boy (see picture above). His name is Clay and he'll be 26 in 12 days. I haven't thought about what I'm gonna get him yet. We've been going steady since last December (the 15th has been the "official" day). That means only a couple more months and it'll be a year. Which, by the way, would be the first relationship I've been in for a year. My longest before that was 9 months. I've gotten better at the commitment thing it seems. :) But joke aside, he treats me very well and we're very much in Love.
I'm really glad I'm back on LJ. I missed it. And I missed all you guys especially.
