A Long Awaited Update
I don't update that often anymore. I'm sorry.
There's just not a lot to update everyone on. I'm sure you all get sick of hearing about the typical Outback drama. And it's not like I have much of a social life to tell you all about. If I have a really bad night at work, I usually end up over at the Fox or Buffalo Wild Wings for a drink. A drink..that's it. I haven't gotten drunk since...well it's been a really long time. Not to mention, I can't afford to get drunk.
The picture above is my pride and joy. I think I told Annie, but I ended up out at one of Erie's cementaries this past week. Actually, this is the "old" part of Lakeside Cementary. Here are the tombstones and vaults that are raised off the ground, as you can see. I happened to take these pictures before work last week and had my camera with me when I got to the restaurant. Phil was inquiring on what kind of pictures I was taking, because he knows I'm a shutterbug. I showed him this one still in my camera, and he said it should be a postcard. After looking at it, I had to agree with him. Mom absolutely loves this shot. This is the most praise I've ever gotten for one of my pics, so I'm pretty proud of it.
This is the "new" part of Lakeside Cementary, but all the graves are flat. I'm actually sitting in front of my grandparents gravestone here and taking a picture along the ground to the Lord's Prayer booklet. But yeah, I'm very very proud of my steady hand while shooting that first picture.
Okay, a somewhat update.
My tiny apartment is going to be invaded by Apt. 4ers next Sunday through prolly Wednesdayish. And you know what? I can't wait. Back in April, that trip wasn't long enough, and not to mention got interupted. I want to be able to laugh again. When I'm with my friends, it's just so nice to be able to be myself, and not be judged. That's the main problem with the friends I have up at work. I can't let some of them see who I am really. I'm sure they know, but it's better that we all keep a little to ourselves. After all, we work in the food service business. It's the highest turnover profession there is. I just want to laugh is all. I want to have fun. Who knows, this might be the last opportunity for us for a while. Or at least, if Miss Brenda has her way we'll all be in Coudy for Christmas. But you never know...
None of my friends from work understand what it's like to not be surrounded by your friends. They have these little petty squabbles with their friends, and I just have to sit back and shake my head. I can't tell you the last time I had a petty squabble with my "college" friends actually face to face too. I try to best of my ability to be involved with my friends lives, because I don't want to end up like I am now with no friends here. I completely understand when Annie says she lives through her Sims, because I'm living through my ims with everyone right now. I want to be able to live for the moment which I do when I'm with them. Who knows if they truly know how much I miss not living with them or being around them every day.
Another update...it's pretty much official. I'm moving the end of July beginning of August. Heidi got her dream job and is leaving then and I'm going to be taking over her lease. The best part...the landlady said I could have a cat! How estatic am I?? Maybe I won't be so lonely. I'll update you all with my new mailing address. It's going to be tight money-wise for the first couple of months, but I'm planning on getting a second job or at least a "real" job and getting out of the restaurant business. That's why I'm trying to get everyone to visit me now or me visiting them before I move. Once I move, I won't have the money to travel much. Then when I move, anyone can visit at any time because you'll actually have your very own bedroom to sleep in, and not on the floor.
That's it for now.
