update
so i think i am going to try to update this more, since i am not doing so well with my hand written journal.
volunteering: i recently began volunteering for the Metro Youth Outreach in cleveland with my girl jess. today will be my second day. we do it every tuesday and thursday. we basically just go around offering safe sex kits (which include condoms, dental dams, female condoms, lube, and finger condoms), free hiv testing, and information on other things the program offers, such as help with shelter clothes and food for runaways. so far its been a good time.
school: got my schedule all set up for akron. going pretty much all day on tuesdays and thursdays. jess has pretty much the same schedule, so that excites me. we are going to ride the bus from her house instead of buying a parking pass. yay for saving money! the bus is no problem for me, i used to ride a bus from garfield to downtown, then catch another one from downtown to tri-c west. so i think i can handle a 5 min bus ride in crAcKRON. lol.
leisure: i am currently reading "possible side effects" by Augusten Burroughs. just started so im not sure how into it i am yet. in my attempt to not be so poor, i put down chuck p's new hardback beautiful copy of "snuff" and possibly shed a tear as i did so, because it was 25 bucks. =(
so i ended up getting 2 books off the bargain rack for a total of 10 bucks. i have been slightly more social, but only by forcing myself to be. this summer myke and i are going on vacation with my parents (dad) to north myrtle beach. i am excited, but also worried because my dad is kind of snooty and myke just got a tattoo of a dragon the wraps up the entirety of his arm. ugh. that should be fun.
love: speaking of myke, he also got another little modification in addition to his new tattoo. a nice prince albert if you will. UGH. at least my dad wont see that one. but we cannot have sex for 3 weeks. this is not going to be fun. it will be one week tomorrow. wish me luck, because im going to need it.
crazies: i have been slipping into depression as of late, but i am not complaining. it is allowing for some of my creativity to come back, and i realized i hadnt cryed ONCE the entire time i was on effexor. and i was in desperate need of a good cry. now i am only on lamictal, successfully off of the devil that is effexor xr. hurrah for me. maybe not for the people around me.
work: same shit different day. i would love to quit, but the i am totally spoiled. where else can you work 3 days a week every week, get full benefits, paid vacation and sick time, and make 23,000 a year? the salary is a joke i know, but seriously, where else can you get that salary with the perks? ugh. if anyone knows, please let me know. ha. if i make it past july 10th, it will officially be the job i have held the longest. second place will go to hsbc, and i got laid off there at exactly the 2 year mark. i am praying to be as lucky with this one. seriously.
so thats it as of late, i think. i will update again if something strikes me.
