i never get onto my livejournal and write anymore. i'm not sure why. i love livejournal. i guess i never think about it. i'm going to start trying to write regularly again.
so recent news in my life...
school is back in session with all of the fratastic dbags and sororo-hoes from last year. i don't mind it so much anymore. two weeks before school started student housing called and told me that they didn't have a spot for my roommate (megan) and i. so this left us in a bind to find a place really quick and for cheap. we ended up at "the exchange." its and apartment complex off of old taylor road. it is definitely not the first place i would have chosen. its very nice, don't get me wrong. we have the biggest pool in town, a jacuzzi, a gym, etc etc. its just so student glammy. they come furnished, which is one of my least favorite things. anytime i walk into someone elses apartment at this complex i feel like i am still in mine. and the furniture sucks. we have a weird sectional pleather couch that is less than comfortable and it's pillows slide everywhere. but whatever, i have my own bathroom with a huge tub and a ballin' closet. and its not in the dorms, which is great.
i just started a job at a frame shop here called sj art gallery. my boss seems really nice, so i'm pretty excited about it. but he does things really differently from my dad so it's going to be hard getting used to. plus, its not my dad and there is no megs.
i always have this constant nagging thought at the back of my head saying that i shouldn't be satisfied with anything i have. i start over analyzing my friends and criticizing them (in my head). sometimes i just feel so different from them. we have common interests, sure. but i hate to say that sometimes i just feel a lot smarter than them. most of them don't keep up with politics or current events, they don't really have anything that drives them or they aspire to. i know i can't change that, and i love them so i don't want to change them or get new friends. i just don't know. i feel like maybe if i were surrounded by people more interested in things i am, i would be more apt and likely to do the things i want to do. i'm not a follower, it's just makes it easier when i have encouragement. its not that my friends don't encourage and support me in everything i do, they just don't understand it or haven't tried to at least. i'm not even sure this is making sense like it does in my head. i just feel like i'm missing something, or i should be doing more.
in regards to friends, i did make some new ones this summer. they really seem to care about what i care about and they want to change the place they live for the better rather than just run away from it. they're smart and are concerned with whats going on around them. isn't that how everyone should be? it was really exciting to meet them and get to know them this summer, but now i am here, and they are in cleveland. so it goes.
