Umm... what up?
So yeah. Here I am. It's Monday night. I have absolutely nothing to do.
BLAH. I just watched The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. And South Park and Family Guy. Oooooh, and now The X-Files are on. Sweet. haha Good times.
I miss the network. I keep getting the urge to "network" things, since that's clearly a verb now. Everything's a verb! whee. Yeah.
So, what have I done lately? Last week I saw Alex and the soccer girls a few times. I've also been shopping a few times, spending the gift card I got for Christmas. It's pretty much gone now, so no more shopping for me. lol At least I have some new pants and a new jacket. And a hat. Woot. And my birthday is in a month. I'm gonna be 20! Crazy! 2 decades! Ugh, I'm getting so old. And what do I have to show for it? Nothing. haha
I'm housesitting. It's a pretty sweet gig, I mean, people pay me to live in their houses and do normal house stuff that I'd be doing at home for free anyway. And this way I have a whole house to chill in. I am sort of lonely though. That doesn't have much to do with the housesitting, though. I think that has more to do with not being at school. Home is... not home. It's weird. I keep getting in stupid fights with my mom, and then feeling bad about it. Pretty much my only good friend left in town is Andi. Everyone else has already gone back to school or didn't come back in the first place. I get so spoiled at school, living surrounded by friends, but having the luxury of my own room. College is such an excellent break from the real world. I am definitely working on cherishing it as much as I can. Anyway, moral of the story is that home = less than cool, and I can't wait to get back. And yet, even as excited as I am to get back, it's a little bit intimidating. I don't know at all what next semester is going to bring, and that's both really exciting and really scary. I'm optimistic that good things can come, and also really fucking scared of how bad it could be. One thing is for sure, things are going to be different. Come on, optimism! Don't fail me now!
Bah. Tomorrow I'm doing more housework for my mom's friend. She pays pretty well, but it freaking sucks. I mean, I suppose it could be worse, but it's not really fun. And balanced out with a significant lack of fun, it makes everything else seem less fun.
I'm really only updating because I don't have anything else to do. Maybe I'll go read. I went to Powell's today... oh, Powell's. So excellent. I love Powell's, and the Pearl District. Why is Portland so freaking cool? I thought today that I really want to live in Portland after school. I don't know how well that'll work out. Especially since my ultimate goal would be to live in the Pearl District, or right downtown, or off of 23rd. hahah Yeah, no prob, straight out of grad school I should definitely be able to afford that. Or... not. I need to find me a sugar daddy. And the sad thing is, I'm only half-kidding. lol
Riiiiggghhhhht. I'm going to go read now. And then go to bed, so I can get up and clean in the morning. Yay.
Happy 2006, everyone. I hope your new year is off to a good start. :)
