Incoming ahead… another random rant from Julie’s Lj. What do you expect when I don’t update this thing for months?
Ahh, lj, the page I can use for useless venting when I feel I’ve exhausted human rescources and friends that don’t want to hear my problems anymore, lol (that was a joke, sort of).
I’ve gone through a lot lately. Recently I helped my brother move into his UW dorm for his freshmen year and it was really hard. I am proud, sad and happy for him all at the same time. Next was my little sisters 21st b-day and taking her out to bars… it was all too surreal to see her next to me at a bar. Somehow she didn’t feel like my little sister anymore. Anyway it was really cool to be able to hang out with her and my older sister in Seattle.
Its different now because my siblings and I are all in different places so when I come home, besides my parents, there is no one there. I used to be able to come home and we would all be in the same town/house and meet up and do stuff. Now we are all scattered because I’m not the only one gone from Oly anymore… its really strange. I know we will keep in touch because we are all really close and that’s just how our parents raised us. But I am concerned about how my parents are handling the empty nest thing. I think its harder than is seems and I can tell they are sort of sad. Hopefully they will celebrate and reconnect with things that they love to do.
I don’t understand my emotions lately. I used to be hard as a rock and not let anyone see me cry, not let things bother me and seemed more sure of myself. Lately I cry at the drop of a penny. Its so stupid how mushy and sensitive I am now… I don’t know what happened, I used to be a badass. Maybe I need to accept the fact that I’m maturing or have turned into a big baby.
Lots of fun as happened before these things like Sara and Terry’s wedding in good ‘ol Canada. It was so much fun seeing all the friends you know from concerts, all cleaned up and look’n stylish. I got a lot of compliments on my baby-blue poka-dot dress. It was the first time Eric and I slow danced and the whole thing was very romantic and a fun get-a-way for the both of us. It made everything feel all giddy and new again, ha.
Summer has also been crazy with lots of jobs. I have it down to one now but I was working three for a short period of time and thought I was going to shoot myself. It was not fun but I needed the money. Some things have been bugging me at work, especially when the 17/18 year old drama queens call me old for being 22. Whatever, get over youselves. ( I hope she knows that sassy is pretty much another word for being a bitch or having an attitude problem, so admitting to it is hilarious.)
I’m only working one job now, thank goodness, but I’m sure I will have plenty of work problems that will be vented on here now.
It’s weird watching summer disappear by feeling the weather change dramatically. It went from 70+, humid to super chilly, cold during the day and night in about a day. Weird… but I am excited to bust out some scarves I’ve knitted.
So Bellingham’s population has exploded. Now that I have lived here for almost four years I think I have a right to complain, or at least now I know how it feels for the people that live here permanently. It’s funny how I can tell someone’s age by how they act and carry themselves. Fresh from highschool, starting college peeps act a whole lot more ignorant than someone who has lived it B’ham awhile. I know there are exceptions to every rule but most of the time they all seem the same. Living here for a while now, more year-round, I feel like I have a right to complain. I feel too old at Western and in B’ham now and am overwhelmed from all the people. I never really noticed when I was younger and was first moving up here… maybe because everything was new and exciting. I just feel weird and out of place now. Most of my friends were older so they have all graduated or about to and I feel like I don’t know anyone on campus anymore… that is until classes start hopefully.
Besides the latter, I’m actually excited for school to start and be looking for internships and participating in environmental activities. (I’m only going to support things that are rational. It doesn’t make sense when people get so involved in something it becomes irrational and they lose sight of reality). Classes are going to be amazing this year.
I’m also excited for DL. We got some sweet shows coming up and some sweet covers. I can’t wait! October is going to busy with us playing and practicing with the one thing I love, music.
We recently went up to Sushi in Richmond with some close pals. We didn’t want to make it a huge thing since we were mainly going up there to pic up some sweet cabs that Eric bought off some Canadian guy who used to be in a metal band. But Aaron, Lauren, Derek, Rose, and Eric and I decided it would all be fun it we went up together and it was! I’m glad everyone could go.
I recently also went over to Andrea’s to make dinner and it was a blast. I’m so homely but dinner parties are definitely fun for me because you can actually have conversations and catch up with people without it getting all crazy/stupid. All I can say is she is such an awesome person and cook and I hope we can do it again soon.
In the mornings I’ve been watching a lot of futerama and its been really enlightening. When I watched it on T.V. when it first came out I really didn’t think it was that funny but now that I’m a little older I find it hilarious.
One word for concerts: Dragonforce, Converge and Mastadon! All were fuck’n amazing but they really blew my face off! Man, I can’t describe it any other way.
Still thinking about moving but its getting later and I’m becoming more unsure of myself everyday. I want privacy… and I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to hear myself think again unless I move out…. Hmmm. Plus I want a full-sized bed, not this teeny-kid bed crap. This confliction never ends. I told my roommate that I was thinking about it and she is sort of sweat’n it, even though she was giving me the 5th degree with a million questions. Plus she has broken up with her longtime boyfriend and has become really obnoxious and disrespectful with her new boyfriend whose this older-28year old something, Johnny Knoxville wannabe, and still in the process of getting a divorce. Great. They are really irritating.
She’s not really the reason I want to move out though, its more about our apartment. I mean, while I do like some of the quirks and location its really just falling apart and old.
Tonight encounters visiting Eric's sister in her dorms and getting ready for the whole school rollercoster to start again.
Peace~
