I Have Neglected You Once Again, But I Return in the Spirit of Procrastination!

ERMAHGERD!!!!!

So it's been a really long time since I've written a post and I feel bad about it. A lot has happened in the past year-ish so let's do a really do quick catch-up.

1. I GOT A KITTY!!! Her name is Luna, but I also call her Kitty, Kiki, Lulu, Pretty Princess, and a plethora of other barftastic cutesies. And an adorable boyfriend, Wilhelm (of course that's not really his name, but his family is German and he wrestled, so I Googled German wrestlers and found the name Wilhelm so....yeah).

Both are picture here :

2. I'm one semester away from graduating with my associates so I can go on to more real school! Woot on that front. I can't wait to play with skeletons. On a related note, I have also developed a fascination with cannibalism....maybe that's weird, I don't really care. 

3. I have spent much of the year watching Informative Murder Porn and documentaries about serial killers. Also, maybe it's weird but I don't care. 

4. I have also spent many, many hours feeding my Doctor Who obsession. 

5. I got a job as a Pure Romance consultant, selling bath and bedroom accessories....what?! Yeah, I did. 

Umm....So that's that. Otherwise, I'm trying to get my life together and function as a responsible adult and contribute to society. It's a pretty boring idea but I'm pretty bad at it so I guess it's not such a big deal. Speaking of, Wilhelm says it's time to go grocery shopping and I suppose I need to study. Procrastinating over.

Ta ta!

Lessons Learned, Douchebags Past.

We're still working on revelation #4, aren't we? Well, like I said... even though we only dated for a couple of months (and I'm sure the feeling isn't mutual), I took so much out of my relationship with G.I. Joe. If you recall, revelation #4 states that "It's okay if people were only meant to be in your life for a brief period of time and a very specific reason." Now, I'm a firm believer that he was put into my life just to give me a poke and make me realize that I needed to make some changes, take some action, and start doing things for myself instead of for everyone else. He reminded me of who I really am. Because of the things he re-awakened within me; I started going to the gym again, I asked for more bartending hours, I stopped stressing out so much about stupid things, I stopped twiddling my thumbs and went back to being proactive about getting back in school, and I started making a plan for getting myself to Oregon. The simple fact that I had all this in motion again made me so happy. And then our relationship ended, relatively suddenly, but the weird thing was that I wasn't really that upset. Even though this boy had told me he loved me, that he wanted to marry me, that we could make a relationship last for a whole year while he was deployed, and even though I wanted to believe him, I think that deep down inside there was a part of me that knew none of that would ever happen, that he was just in my life to teach me something. And while in retrospect, he mostly turned out to be a douche, I don't have any regrets about the situation because I'm so much happier with myself now than I was three months ago. That's the short version anyway. 

In a round-about way, this also leads us to revelation #1. "Just because you say you're okay alone, doesn't mean you really are. But one day you'll wake up and realize it's the best thing ever." Seriously, being on my own right now is just what I really need. I have time to focus and do things for myself and get my life together again. It's cliche that everyone says you can't be truly happy with someone else until you're happy with yourself, but it's very true. And while I've always been pretty happy with myself, I never really wanted to be alone...until now. So I think that when I do eventually meet someone I might be interested in, I'll be better prepared for whatever might come out of it and unafraid of being let down again. 

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

See! I told you I was bad at this blog thing... it's been forever since I posted! Well I did post a video the a couple of days ago, like I said I would. You can check it out on my vlog page here: http://everywhere-vlog.blogspot.com/ (if you like it, don't forget to subscribe to my channel on YouTube; there'll be more coming soon!).

Things have been pretty crazy lately, really. What with trying to back into school to get this business associates out of the way while I'm working on moving to Oregon and figuring out which school I want to go to out there. Not to mention working non-stop for two weeks straight, and the fact that we're in middle of changing ownership at the restaurant so I'm currently a bartender at a bar & grille which happens to be sans liquor license. Doesn't work too well, right? But it's just temporary and everything should settle down and go back to normal soon, except for the part where I finally get more bartending shifts and get to be the admin of our company Facebook and Twitter page. Yeah, buddy.

I'm also beginning to train for the Warrior Dash (http://www.warriordash.com/), in which I won't be participating until next year, but I want to make sure I'm ready for it! I'll be doing to Colorado event with my lovely friend, Elle, and whoever else decides they're man enough to do it with us. Let me know if you're going to be there too and we can become friends! The more the merrier, right?!

So anyway... Where did I leave you hanging? Oh yeah. G.I. Joe. So we exchanged friend requests on Facebook (and I later sang quite frequently Hey, I just met you and this is crazy but here's my Facebook - friend me maybe. I know, I'm great) and he disappeared off into the crowd with his friends while I went back home with mine. We started messaging the very next day, a little to my surprise, and while I wasn't exactly interested it was nice to have someone to talk to so I entertained the possibility. Life is more fun when you have options and take risks, right? After a few days, I noticed I would check my phone constantly when I was away from my computer, always eager for his next response. I was actually giddy, for the first time in forever. Finally, by Wednesday evening, he'd planted the seed. A date - to take me flying. Like that wasn't a crazy enough first date, he timed it so we would fly as the sun was setting. How am I ever supposed to top that in my life?! (Boys - you've got your work cut out for you now.) By Friday evening, we'd exchanged phone numbers and by Saturday, we met up at the bars, ditched our friends to chat the night away over a few beers, and then he walked me all the way home (completely out of his way), kissed me goodnight (fireworks), and left me ecstatically awaiting our avian date the next day. It really was a first date straight out of a movie, completely perfect in every way. But like I implied with the title of my previous blog - if something is too good to be true, it probably is. Though we only dated for two months, it was the most eye-opening two months of my young adult life. But more on that later.

So, Halloween is right around the corner. I just got the greatest Halloween costume I've ever had ever ever and I'm so excited about it. It's a monster. A magical monster and I want to wear this costume for the next three weeks straight - not even joking. For those of you who don't know, Halloween is tied with Christmas for my favorite holiday. I LOVE Halloween. My other friend, Jenna, bought a similar costume so we will be a bit matchy, which is cool because we'll be partying together. I'll definitely make sure to show you all some pictures because it's simply too good to be missed. What are you going to be for Halloween?! Send me pictures of your costumes too!

Alas, I should now venture off to bed. I don't want to screw my sleep schedule up too much. I'm going to post a new video soon too, so make sure to check out that out.

Goodnight, friends!
