(no subject)
Well, today is today I guess, or shall I say tonight is tonight. Anyway, came off of a pretty good weekend. Went back to my alma mater, Eastern University for Homecoming Weekend. I knew a lot of people wanted to see me from Eastern, and I really wanted to see them. Plus, it's prolly gonna be the only time I'll be able to go back to Eastern and visit. And now that I actually do have a crazy desire to go back, I did. I was so stoked to see a lot of people that I miss. The festivities were good also. I was still battling with a snot cold I aquired last Tuesday, but after a lot of drugs (thank God for Vicks Vapor Rub and Halls), I was able to maintain my sanity and speak like a woman again for Saturday. Immediately, when I stepped foot on campus, I started to see people I recognized. There was one girl, however, who brushed me off when she knew me and recognized me. I made eye contact with her, motioning to say hi, but she saw me, looked away, and kept talking to her friend. I dub her a BITCH. I said outloud, to the point where she could hear me, "I dont know you either."
But I didnt let her ruin my Homecoming experience. For the next couple of hours, I went walking around, throwing hugs, kisses, laughs and stuff at friends, faculty, and damn near any guy that looked decently hot. It was fun. When I was leaving, I met up with someone, a guy....a guy I have feelings for. His name is Brad. To make a long story short, the reason why I like him goes way back and I dont wanna bore you with details, but basically, he has made a 360 from a hunk to a semi-bum (but he doesnt smell or anything...hehe). He's a mystery, and many people dont get him or think he's too deep. It's ironic because about two years ago, he was completely different: back then, he was a hunk, and every girl secretly wanted to know who he was and what was his name. Every girl except me. Now that he has a more humble appearance, all the girls' heads are turned away and I am focused on him.
So anyway, I bumped into him when I was leaving campus that Homecoming night, and me and my friend Bubba ended up speaking with him for about an hour in the parking lot next to our cars. There was some chemistry there. He's very secretive but Brad and I did have some deep convos back last year, and he kept referring to them when Bubba and I was talking to him. We were in two classes together last year, and we connected because we both have reservations about our writing, and about the writing classes we took. Anyway, he's been wanting to come up to NY for some time, and I told him that whenever he was going to, to drop me an e-mail and we can meet up. We e-mailed in the past before but stopped for a while. Hopefully, that e-mail flame can be rekindled.
Still looking for a job. I cant even describe how I feel about being unemployed still. It's like this damp, dragging cloud that just hovers over ur head. Daily I am reminded when I see my family members and others get up and go to work. Now, I aint saying that I dont like sleeping in and sitting on my ass sometimes, but it's time to get out of the routine. My latest job potential is working as a freelance writer at Spark Notes. The job description is writing study guides for high school and college students on philosophy and poetry. This is right up my alley and I think I am very qualified for this job. Gonna fax it as soon as possible. Another job inquiry that has caught my eye is working at this ritzy hotel in the Village in NYC. It's a five star restaurant called Hotel Gansevoort. A friend told me about it. I figured it would be cool to get this hotel job in the meanwhile, and still look for a good writing job. I might end up liking the hotel job (if I get it) and work out some schedule if I get a writing job later down on the line.
I'm keeping my head afloat. My family is actually not getting on my nerves, and I have amazing chocolate within the last week. Life is good. I cant complain.
