Recreational Farming
Oooooh, man. A lot has happened since the last time I updated.
My job remains the same. An untrained monkey can still do my job with a blindfold on. I am kind of looking for new job opportunities, but part of me still hopes this job pans out and becomes something amazing. I know I need to pull my head out of my ass and realize that after close to 6 months, some things just don't change.
My parents are buying a foreclosure condo in Del Ray, Alexandria. It's a one bedroom with a small den. I will be renting from then. It'll be a win-win situation. I can live alone in a desirable area, and they get a trustworthy renter for their investment property. Go Team Brown! They go to closing on Thursday next week, but the place still needs a lot of work. For right now, my parents are replacing the bathroom and the whole place needs a good scrubbing. Then, they'll paint it with colors we all agreed on. The goal is for me to be living there by mid-June. Five and a half months living at home with the parentals. I'm ready to be O-U-T. (Not that I don't appreciate them letting me stay there.)
Boys. The guys I was seeing in my last post is no more. We are still friends as we both hang out with the same crowd, but we ended things. He was smothering me, and I didn't really see us having a future. I know it sounds harsh, but I think it was for the best. I am relationship-challenged, I don't think two relationship-challenged people together necessarily make it right. LOL. Another impetus for the 'relationship' ending was Ryan. Haha, my whole blog is filled with Ryan... I bet you are all rolling your eyes right now. Ryan is currently working on a CSA in MD, only 2.5 hours away from me. He comes down every weekend, and I'm even going up to see him this weekend as he cannot leave the farm. Did I mention he is newly single? When he first rolled through town, he claimed he didn't want anything serious and he had like two girls (not including me) interested in him. I wasn't entering the fray. I was willing to have fun, but once he started having fun with one of the other girls, my fun would be over. That was the game plan until he started coming down every weekend. We'd spend them together, and then he'd start saying things like, "I'm getting attached." (Shit.) Ryan loves to love. I am much more cautious when it comes to love. I hate to get hurt, so I like to protect myself by never taking chances. I know, it's Ryan... my heart is already involved. But, what happens when he leaves the CSA in December? He's transient, and I want him to follow his dreams. I don't want anyone making life decisions based on me. He even told me he loved me this week over the phone, though he was drunk. I'm half-way here. Do I pursue this or do I keep it so we are friends? I think this weekend will solidify things, for better or worse.
One of the guys who works on the same floor as me is in a kickball league in DC. Kickball seems to be HUGE here. I totally want to join a team once I move to Del Ray. I have a lot of big dreams for Del Ray. :)
