Why is it that I feel it vital to draw a blank every time I sit down to write? What do people really want to read about on here? My work life? I finished teaching in August and was offered a position working on one of the residential units. I took the job offer and have since been working on the "secure client" unit of the facility. I got kicked in the face by a 7 year old a week and a half ago. It was fantastic. My job is very taxing, but for some reason I love it.

I think I'm dating someone. I say "I think" because we've gone out twice, to be exact, and talk on the phone everyday for (literally) hours and have plans to go out again tomorrow. What happened to the good 'ol days when things were cut and clear? The days when your crushes best friend would come up to you and say "hey, B has a crush on you. Will you go out with him?" and then from that point on you two were "going out" which translates into "you are not single anymore" at least until afternoon recess when they decide they want to go out with someone else and then send the aforementioned best friend to break up with you. Either way it was so much less complicated. Now it's a huge deal. Are you dating or just "hanging out"? And at what point when you are dating do you become "not single"? This is the kind of stress that just makes me want to chuck it all and say "fuck it" and stay single for the rest of my life. The stress over merely defining what you are is enough to cause a fucking stroke! I have decided, though, that I'm taking the back seat on this. I'm old fashioned, you can court me like it used to be. Pick me up for dates, open doors, guide me through crowds with your hand on my back, I'll wait to hear you say what it is before I assume anything. And that folks, is what I like to call "Making the man earn what he's REALLY after".

Hmmm. Now what. I bought Yellowcard's newest album, "Paper Walls", today. The lyrics on this album blended with Sean's violin flowing like blood with the melodies are amazing. Today was pretty much awesome. Went with the "someone" to downtown, checked out some art booths...Coveted a few pieces, but at $1300 for one that I really wanted I think I'll pass....Besides some beautiful art there were some pretty FANTASTIC social disasters. Too bad D wasn't there because he'd have to start adding second and third string teams for all his members! Can I just mention that the fabulous thing about "someone" is that he appreciates the necessity of life to point out anyone who is fashionably challenged (aka: they don't own a mirror) and just downright unfortunate looking and laugh as hard as I do.

I am supposed to get my new carpet tomorrow then maybe I can finISH MOVING INTO MY FUCKING APARTMENT. If my carpet does not get put in tomorrow and I cannot finish unpacking this is what's going to happen:

1. I will turn into "S. The Cunt-face" because I will pull out my "bitch" card and slap the property owners across the face 3 times with it.
2. I will not be paying rent and they can suck hairy balls that have been smeared in cat shit and asbestos.
3. I might cry.
4. I might go to jail for doing 1-2

Here are some more general observations about life.

1. Guys that you date for a month or so then abruptly stop speaking to you for no apparent reason and then a year and a half later when they see you in a dress at a wedding decide that they want to try and be super sweet and caring and affectionate make no sense to me. HELLO?? WTF? It's not like I didn't possess the same qualities and the same legs when you stopped talking to me! Get a grip and taste my sweet revenge....Now you know how it feels (The boys know what I'm referring to right now...Haha, my plan worked!)

2. My neighbor across the way who leaves her house closed up and blinds closed all day, but then opens the blinds and turns on all of her lights at 2100 hours! I do NOT want to see what she is hiding behind those curtains because it is not pretty....(please refer to above socially disastrous and unfortunate looking individuals)

3. I need to get a more comfortable chair to sit in while I blog because my ass is numb.

4. I love nights like tonight. Quiet, cool breeze, good music all following a great day.

5. Sometimes when you aren't expecting it something fabulous drops into your life.

Until next time,
