Moving, Traveling, FRiends..
I'm very sad. Tina will be in Madrid and Brian will be in Ireland this semester. Danielle is going somewhere as well.. ALTHOUGH Roy will be here by September, which is amazing. I love how we go 1 and a half years between seeing each other. Way to be!
So, I'm debating on what to do after my lease runs out in July. I have no idea what to do. I'm really really tempted to just sublet, and rent a place in Newport for the summertime, and if not Newport then Fairhaven. What a better way to spend the summer than in a beach town. But I don't know if I can sublet, my landlord is pretty chill... ahg, still debating.
Next fall, I think I want to live in Hanson and commute before I leave for europe. I'll have time to chill @ home and spend the holidays with the family, instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off like i did this year. My parents say its so quiet around here w/ out kristen and I, so maybe I'll hang around before I completely leave for 5 months. That will leave me w/ plenty of time to visit UMD and maybe bartend somewhere on the south shore as well.
If I do stay @ home though, i might rent an artists space somewhere in the city. I'd love to have a space in a loft somewhere in southie. Artists for Humanities had amazing artist space a few years ago, right over by my dad's work. I wonder if they are still there. Worth investigating.
I miss everyone from UMd SO much. Brandon and I have been chatting on and off, planning on hanging out soon, catching up. We both miss the old crew, and I miss hanging out in the suite, drinking a beer on a tuesday night on the futon w/ Bishop and Brandon. I haven't talked to Katy or Betourney in FOREVER. I'm waiting for Russ to get back from Florida to see him again. Went to Providence the other night to see Pat and Mr. Jayphonic. We were very domestic. Cleaned that god-awful kitchen of theirs, Jay and I went to the store and got hooks and hung up the new pots and pans they got for christmas. The place looked great when we were done. I scrubbed the microwave and the toaster oven too- it had to be done. It made me a happy kid.
Miss all of them, having a hard time adjusting to life in Boston to some degree- I think it's because I know it's not permanent in any sort of the word. When i was in Prov. I felt like I was in a time warp. Like I hadn't moved, life was still the same. The grey clouds and chilly weather was the same, traffic, same radio stations i listened to when i was down there, just so fucking strange.
I read Jannas LJ the other day and she was talking about how nothing is consistent, and having stability isn't something that people in her field are blessed with. It's true, but even now, not being in an acting major, I feel as if I will be moving around and traveling as much. That excites me just as much as it stresses me out. I know I want to work for NPR. Although, I have no idea where I'm going to start, and if I want to start in the U.S, or overseas. Roy has been over here just as much as he has been @ home in Belgium. He says that his two different lives need to be kept separate. He's leaving his girlfriend at home while he leaves for 6 months to travel over here on the west coast, then the east coast by thanksgiving time. He's gonna live down the street at the Bethoney's house, that makes seeing him easy. sweet.
And it's the new year too.. where has the time gone???
Things that I've learned in 2004:
-Forgiveness is a key to happiness
-4th of July is the best holiday ever. Especially on west island.
-If you don't like him, don't return his calls.
-Before you move into the/a penthouse, make sure you've got an elevator.
-Don't be afraid of new friends and people.
-Pete Chvany is the MAN.
-There are almost no Scandinavians in Boston.
-The Red Sox can easily beat the Yankees.
-The people at Charley's will serve us. Again, and again, and again and...
-Finding yourself out, with your roomates, drunk, and with a group of Navy men is not an unusual event.
