in the streets, we're running free, like it's only you and me.
goodness gracious. what a year.
fuck you, 2011. seriously. you were horrible and i am so happy to be turning a fresh page in the water-stained, yellowed-page book of my life. i have really high hopes that 2012 will be the best year yet and i refuse to be disappointed.
to recap:
-became embroiled in a double marital affair which culminated in both marriages ending and the people in them being scattered across the country like so many pieces of glass.
-the person who i grew up knowing as my older sister now hates me and tells my mom that i look like a junky prostitute who is going to get raped in an alleyway in san francisco.
-i moved to san francisco. first, charity and i lived in a warehouse theatre artspace called the omnicircus, but charity left me to go back to fort lauderdale and be with her family, and i moved out immediately after, due to a bedbug infestation and the creepiest landlord ever.
-moved in with my really good friend myke. we started dating. everyone is hating on us.
-working full time at Elixir Salon, an Aveda salon in Berkeley, as a receptionist and manager. I really love my job, it's rewarding, and i truly enjoy the people i work with.
-starting school on Monday for cosmetology at Laney College in Oakland. I will have absolutely zero free evenings because i work full time at the salon and part time at a vegan restaurant in San Francisco called Herbivore.
-Charity has no desire to be my friend.
-i feel really far from Jakki, geographically. wearing her clothes and writing her letters helps.
-i have grandiose tattoo plans.
i just got back from an amazing week-long vacation to florida. i stayed at my moms and got to see all of my besties from high school, along with my dad and stepmom. i went up to gainesville for two nights and had a pretty amazing time with andrea, grace, and hannah. we spent the entirety of sunday drunk on mimosas, taking a break only to go to Ward's to buy tempeh and beer, and andrea and i got matching tattoos by grace's boyfriend. they look AMAZING. i want like 4 more tattoos from him. he's got the lightest hand of any artist i've ever had work on me and the lines are SO delicate. so pretty.
that's about it. i'm pretty excited to start beauty school.
good things to come, right?
