Life has been fairly good. I got a job at the Renaissance, which is the ritzy hotel in North Hills. Today is my first real day of work, and I'm nervous. I've done banquet serving before, but the Ramada Inn of Burlington does nothing to account for the number one Renaissance which is the number one brand of ALL Merriott hotels. That's serious comfort right there! So yes, I am nervous but hopefully everything goes over well. I'm a fast learner, I can handle this! I better be, for $9 an hour. This is going to help so much!! I still work at Harris Teeter too, though only on Sundays and Mondays. I dont care, I hate that place and it's still $40 a week, which will be my spending money and most if not all of the Renaissance paychecks will be for saving up for a decent car, going to Boone, and various other worldly desires.
I won tickets on 88.1 again, this time to see the Mars Volta on Friday. I really hope Kyle can make it down, if not I will go and get him myself! The evening should be fun, regardless.
Amelia and I painted again last night; I love hanging out with her. I can't wait to get my own apartment with her! Especially if we can snag one downtown (cheap summer rent?). All I want is to decorate it. I want so badly to live on my own. I appreciate all my parents do for me, but I'm turning 21 and I hate not being self sufficient. Hopefully, that's what this new job will do; allow me to live my own life! If I'm getting as many hours as they say I will then things should be just peachy after a few months. Not to mention living downtown, I'll only need a bike unless I'm driving to work or to friends. That will save on gas and get my ass in SHAPE. Not to mention having your own place really helps you make new friends, as will being 21 and being able to just go OUT. Hopefully by next summer I wont be so broke, that's all I ask for. I don't want money to buy things (okay yes I do) but really, I just want to be able to afford the things I want. It's still such a new concept to me.
Things with Kyle are great, he's easily the most amazing guy I've ever met. Now, dear livejournal, you of all people know how often I've said things like this, but I really mean it this time. He's the first one I feel to like ME, not the idea of me. Everyone else is so caught up in who they want me to be, who they think I am, when I'm nothing like that. I'm just me, and that's exactly what he loves me for. I can't even begin to explain how incredibly happy that makes me; he's random with me and we can talk about anything and most likely will. He's so handsome too, although he does look like Mr. Tumnus, so what he is amazingly adorable and has the best smile! My favorite is the one he has right before he opens his eyes, when we kiss. He's absolutely charming, and definitely has the best personality. I honestly cannot believe that he likes me as much as he does, it's entirely too perfect. I believe him when he tells me I'm beautiful, I can see it in the way he looks at me and how he holds my hand. It gets lonely with him so far away, but it's better this way; it forces things to happen slowly, to build a real relationship instead of horrible codependency. Who knew I could have a real relationship?? Who knew it would be so perfect?
I think I'm happy with where I am as a person now. I may not have accomplished everything I wanted to, but there is still so much time and I'm working on it! I got a better job, this will help improve my quality of life tenfold. I've got myself an beautiful boy who loves and appreciates me. I've got the best friends I could ever ask of this world. Things have been good, and I am very thankful.
