(no subject)
So I started the writing blog. I'm pretty satisfied with it so far, but thats not much considering it's been up for a day. I wrote a partial character entry last night and I'm just hoping people understand what it is if they choose to critique it. Though I guess I need to do better if my writing isn't somewhat explanatory too....

that's the site if anyone cares to check it out and offer some constructive criticism.
I was leafing through matt's spanish to english dictionary the other day and it made me realize how much more I love chinese over spanish. Chinese is such a pretty language in some ways. Latin is too I suppose but for some reason spanish just doesn't do it for me.
I need to get back in the swing of my chinese.
I got an email from David Tanner about my promotion last night. He forwarded my paperwork on to Terri and/or Victoria so I should know soon if I'm getting it or not. I'm really excited. I can't wait to set up my office and start doing what I need to do.
I need to get myself on a budget before Christmas rolls around. I'm already starting to for the most part and I'm kinda starting to save my money which is nice. I'm trying to get people gifts here and there so I don't have to spend tons at once for gifts. It helps that the store will be having a sale on the 4th of December so I can grab my mom and dads gifts then. I might even go so far as set myself up on an excel spread sheet to figure out how much I'm going to be able to spend and save for the next month or so....hmmm..
I should start paying my parents rent or something so it won't be a huge shock to my system when I get out in the real world and live on my own. It'll make the eventual transistion much easier.
I really don't know when the whole "real adult" thing happened to me. I mean yeah, i still spend my days off singing "Hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog!" with matt, and I obviously still have a livejournal and other things like that...But I also take on a lot of responsibility and I think in a much different manner than I did even just a few months ago. The julie I was in January is entirely different from the girl that is here today. Matt is probably the one person that's helped me keep my playful side...he's the one that sees it more than anyone.
Sometimes I wonder what I'd do without him. He really makes me think about things in a way others don't and he helps me to understand things around me better. I feel like I'm at my best for being with him and I'm a more real person because he's a part of my life. The pretenses fall to the ground when he comes into play, without me even realizing that they have. It's weird how loving someone can do that to you.
