Hi There LJ...
So, Im still in TX for the time being. Hanging out and working mostly. I got a job early this summer in Port Aransas at a Condo Resort. I really like the people I work with and the job is cake. Plus Im not a manager so I dont have to be responsible for anyone. Bonus! Been saving money so I can move to my new secret location early next year! Shhhh... Oh Rose, when will you settle? All I do is work and save to move to the next place. Who cares...it makes me HAPPY, yes HAPPY is in my vocabulary now, to be on the road. Few things make me feel as good as road tripping does...the ocean, cooking, kissing while my face is in someones hands, Newport breezes... sigh
I had my 10 year High School Reunion this past August. It was great! Good times with old friends...Steven Turnham came from kansas city and stayed with Scott, D, and I. It was pretty f'in comical. We hadnt seen him since graduation. We went out and got toasty at the local dive bars and even ran into James Johnson...lmao...it was amazing to be around my boys again, even if someone inparticular wasnt there but we had wished he was (I love and miss you still and forever, Core). When Steven left he left a note saying something along the lines of "Dearest Rose, I will love you forever and you will always have a special place in my heart. Please find time to settle down, I think you would really love it..." I love how its usually my Male Married/Seriously attached and/or with Children friends who always point this out to me. I think they are semi-envious that I have a life where I dont have to answer to anyone. I can do whatever the f I want. I can pick up and move somewhere, I can stay out late without having to answer to a spouse or have to find a babysitter. UGh, I soooo dont want that life. Do I want to eventully have a significant other? Totally...but my life will not be like that. There is no way-I wont allow it. Shit, I already break it off with people who tell me they dont like to Read. I think it would be pretty easy to break it off with someone whom wanted to know my whereabouts all the time...lol ANYWAYS...
So, Im letting a few things go from my past lately. I recently had a big conversation with my parents about some childhood memories and got a lot of weight off my shoulders-so that felt amazing. They were things I really really needed to let go off after all these years. I also let go of the bad blood between Karen and I. I dont even think about those San Diego days. I think about are the insanly fun times we had together in the past. The other night I found an old video tape where I visited TX in 2001. Karen and I were on there doing some crazy stupid shit. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. I truly do miss her and her laugh. That night I came to terms with our falling out and I honestly dont blame her at all. I blame myself. I was really dumb and young and angry at that time. We will probably never talk again but I feel really good at what we used to have. Jesus, if you guys could only see this video tape of our antics...lmao!
Well, I gotta get back to work.
Love and South Texas Beaches,
