I never made subjects anyways
Does anyone check this anymore? Cause I do....like everyday........
Its just a lazy Sunday watching Our America with Lisa Ling. WOoO I'm so wild.
I'm not gonna lie, I've totally been creeping on everyone journals from back in '07 as well. It used to make me really sad to read about what we were doing back then and how different everything is now. There are some days when I am so grateful to not have hardly any drama in my life, but there are other days when I just miss being 16. Where I didn't HAVE to work 40 hours a week and I was hosting a sleepover or going too one practically every weekend. I miss getting to spend my whole paycheck on myself rather than $500/month of school loans and rent and hundred of other bills. I think what I miss the most is not having any responsibilities and just being so random. I've spent the better part of my young adulthood rushing myself through college and working my ass off so that I could start saving up to move out and go and get a job that isn't a job, but a career. I wanted to get through all that because I was so sure that once I got my degree, moved out with Will, and got a career, I would just magically feel like an adult....
Except for that part where I eat popcorn for dinner about 3 nights a week and have been obsessing over a new anime that I've found (which is Fairy Tail BTW and I HIGHLY recommend it if anyone is still a huge anime nerd like me)
But I'm not carefree. If anything I'm more stressed now than ever before in my life. We're doing pretty good saving up for a house and thank god Will makes such amazing money at his job and we are happier than we have ever been in the past 6 years. But I just want to slow down sometimes. It feels like we're living in the future That's what I mean about being 16 again. When we were 16 college was still so far away and no one was expecting us to have our whole lives planned out. Some days I'd give anything to be playing hide and seek in the dark or just laying in Maddys basement watching anime and geeking out about it.
I guess if everyone had as awesome memories as we had, they'd feel the same way. Going to an anime convention and being a random kid again still sounds pretty appealing. I feel like the acceptable cut off age that we can still go would be 30 so we have got time :D
Now being stressed has absolutely nothing to do with my new job. I don't miss Kroger at all. For those who don't know I started a new job at Hamilton County Department of Jobs and Family Services in March, and its everything I have ever wanted as job with my social work degree. There has not been 1 day in the past 5 months that I haven't woken up in the morning and NOT been excited to go to work. On Sundays I'm actually excited because I get to go to work the next day!!!!! I'm a social worker for Medicaid. I get peoples applications and determine their eligibility for Medicaid and I love every second of it. I love the people that I work with and I surprisingly love working downtown (on the outskirts of Over the Rhine pretty much). I hardly look at the clock all day while I'm at work and I always leave with a smile on my face. The only downside is I really feel like I have no life now. Everyone who knows me knows I need my sleep. As much as I wish I could, I can not function on less than 8 hours of sleep a night. So I get up at about 5:15am and get to work at 7:15 then work till 4 and am home by 5 and by then I'm like 'well....I have to be in bed in 4 hours.....I guess I'll just have an anime mini marathon while Will plays Minecraft' .
I guess I really need to slow down and live in the moment and just enjoy being 23 for a while :). I got my charm bracelet blown up and tattooed on my ankle (see facebook). I only have the charms done now (which all of them hurt terribly and I would not recommend getting any work done on your foot/ankle) and am getting the chain done 2 months from now. What I would give to grow enough balls to get a sleeve though.
So what's everyone else doing? I reallllyyyy wanna know I haven't talked to anyone in forever. Give me details!! Tell me because creeping on everyone's facebooks and LJs doesn't tell me anything, not to mention it makes me look like a sad crazy cat lady (yes Pebbles is still alive and kicking and Will and I make him talk in a German accent all the time just like we made up at one the many panda parties)
Does sugoicon still exist and does it still happen in October? Maybe we can all go
