On Holiday
It feels weird looking through my old entries. I mean, it's kind of like viewing yourself in the past. I notice that my writing style is pretty consistant and that there are a lot of things that I used to value that I don't anymore. And then there's the question of who actually reads this thing? I sneak back from time to time to see what other people have posted, especially if I'm embarrassed that I havne't had the time (or the memory) to write them and make sure everything is good in their lives... I wallow in self-guilt the same as I always have. That's good to know.
Here is a quick update, for anyone reading:
1. I still live in the loft downtown, but I'm moving in January to an awesome three-bedroom house with a piano! Excited beyond belief. I just wish it was now instead of two and a half more months.
2. No more roommate. Just Matt and I. Which is actually what I like. I'm too high strung and crazy to live with anyone else, no matter what I tell myself.
3. Still like my job! That's a relief.
4. Katy's getting married in three days. It's so surreal to have my little sister be the one who gets married first. I'm jealous, of course, but extremely happy. For her. And myself.
5. New car. The old Tercel got wrecked on the Pat Bay highway. I miss you, Green Dragon! Now I have Cinnamon, my gorgeous red Yarris. I'm not a car person, but I enjoy driving a red car.
6. Still not good at making new friends, but it's slowly coming to me. I still miss everyone I left behind in Nanaimo. I wish I could make them all move down here, but that would be very selfish of me. Oh, and the housing market here is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS.
7. I've nearly finished my first full story. It's running about 500 typed pages so far, I just have to write a final sequence and then the afterword. I may submit it to somewhere, or just keep it to myself for a bit. We'll see. There's that selfish streak again.
I think that's it. I'm taking this week off work as I have a huge amount of overtime to get rid of, and my sister has asked me to housesit. Oh yeah, she's not having a traditional wedding, not that girl. She and Al are "eloping" to get married in Tofino. No one is invited except to the open house on Sunday. Hooray. At least I don't have to buy a new dress or anything. New shoes, on the other hand...
