(no subject)
OK, so I'm not so much into updating....there hasn't been a lot to tell. Things are AOK, I just haven't been inspired to write much of anything...
Never did get around to buying that house, or even an apartment in Baltimore. Housing market continues to be in my favor, while property taxes seemingly never will be. The more I investigated this safari thing, the more I realized I wouldn't be able to move and pull off the trip. In short, I sold my soul for this trip. I hate this house. Truthfully, it wouldn't be so bad if the owner (and idiot roomie) would take a pinch of pride in the place. He shows ZERO respect for the common areas, while collecting 500-600 a month from each of the many roomies to live in his left out food and dirty dishes. Too lazy to change his multi cat litter box, and hating the smell in his own room he moved it upstairs. It is now in a small unventilated room, where the second refrigerator is, and where we are expected to keep food. LIKE HELL! So yeah..this is my world. The only thing that makes it tolerable is my area is removed from everything. I would like to call a house meeting about the kitchen, but how can I when the owner is the one making it a pig pen? Literally all of his roomies take care of everything for him, only because he REFUSES!
Good news? I'm FREEEEEEE from retail hell. I finally got around to quitting PetSmart, and quickly adjusted (for the most part) to a life on one income, More importantly free evenings, and most weekends. I had missed so many friends over the years whom a saw very little of. It's awesome to know that I have people who are truly supportive of me, and I'm enjoying reconnecting with them. I had forgotten how much of myself I had lost over the years. I'm back behind the camera (though creativity has been down a bit), picking back up the tarot (very rusty), and pole dancing my little butt off. I would really like to perform in the near future. I recently purchased a stage pole (due to arrive tomorrow), so it may be sooner than I think. My old pole remains in storage (drop ceiling prevents me from being able to hang it). I need a name for the new addition. The older one is Anna NiPole. I may have trouble topping that one, but much like a boat, I feel it's bad luck to have a pole without a name. Any suggestions?
Still single, but trying to become more comfortable with the -idea- of dating. I've been in a new and interesting place with an old "friend" these days. While many would believe this isn't a healthy place for me, I think we've both grown a lot over the years, and have come to a certain place of acceptance. I no longer harbor any hope of us ending up together (which I'm afraid may have kept me from other pursuits in the past), but I've come to enjoy our friendship for what it is. I enjoy the chemistry we have from time to time, but above all, this person is a dear friend, and has became family to me. That said, I think I may finally be ready to explore alternative possibilities. 2011 is my year!
