The Great Escape

Once again, I've returned to my blog. This is never ending :P

I'm currently on my way out, heading to the gym, but I just miss blogging. Expressing myself in written word has in some ways always been easier than in just letting things spew from my mouth. I talk too fast, I always forget things I want to say, and I always have to back track to something I've already said to make something else make sense. So this is my outlet.

I have a lot of catching up to do, since the last time I was on here was August (I think), and hopefully this time I'll make up for it.

Take Apart Everything That Is Holding Me Down

Well I just sent my third email trying to find a roommate on Craigslist. Hopefully this one will at least write me back. It's a guy from New York, but I'm kind of getting desperate and need to know if I'm going to have a roommate or if I'm going to have to get a studio apartment. The uncertainty is killing me!

I hope everyone had a wonderful fourth of July yesterday!

Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July!

I hope you all get to spend time with your family and loved ones today.

EDIT: I'm aware that the above song isn't exactly about America's Independence Day, but I like the song. :P

Young

Well I haven't written a blog on here since March. I told myself if I started to get "ranty" and negative in my blogs, I would knock it off for awhile. So I did just that. But now I'm back and am going to write every now and then just for the heck of it.

To update any readers that I may have on the last couple of months, I've turned 22, I accepted a manager's position at Tim Hortons and will be transferring to the new Portage location when it opens in August, and I'm looking for an apartment in Portage/Kalamazoo. I'm incredibly anxious to move, but not so anxious to spend money on rent. I've only ever lived away from home once when I was 18 and it was in a college dorm room. Everything was paid upfront, including food. Now I'll have to pay rent, cable and internet, and for groceries. But it's a step I need to take.

A little over a month ago, I went with my mom on a college visit to Western Kentucky University. After we got done there, we headed straight south and spent two days in Panama City Beach, Florida. It was refreshing, but I so desperately want to be down there again, and for a longer period of time. I did bring home a new friend..in the way of a hermit crab. He now resides in a 10-gallon aquarium above my computer desk and seems to be doing well.

{This was the beach access right across the street from our room.}

{This is my new hermit crab. I named him Clark Kent, for obvious reasons.}

{This was the pier out across from the shopping area in Panama City Beach.}

I will definitely be on here to write more periodically, plus I feel like I'm in a better frame of mind at the moment and want to give this a go again. As for right now, I'm off to watch Sunday's episode of True Blood!

Positive Thoughts

I had a major breakdown this morning that was not part of the plan at all. Everything's piling up on me and I finally just cracked. It's not a feeling I like having. Being out of control with my feelings, feeling buried, and just all around lost. I'm tired of not having money to live on because I'm not getting scheduled at work. I'm tired of feeling so burnt out at school that I just don't care anymore. It's stressing me out in so many more ways than I can handle. I'm in a metaphorical pit and I need to find a way of climbing out. Trying to stay positive at times like this is really hard.

Say You Like Me

So I'm avoiding work at the moment. I'm supposed to be cleaning, but usually I'm still asleep at this time of day if at all possible. I didn't post anything after the We The Kings and Mayday Parade concert last week - which is very odd of me - so I'll touch on it now.

It was a great concert. I was bummed I didn't get to see a true WTK concert, because of Danny having a broken arm and Mr. Trippy living up to his name (I am joking. What he's dealing with sucks and as I type this, he's having surgery to remove the tumor). All in all, their portion of the concert was awesome, and I did get to hear Travis' lovely voice.

Mayday Parade is a whole new story though. They f***in rocked. The energy in that venue when they played was intense. People were singing along, they were moshing, and they were crowd surfing. Jamie All Over was by far my favorite song that they performed. Miserable At Best was pretty good too.

It was a great night spent with a good friend of mine and I'd go back and do it all over again if I had the chance; including standing out in the cold almost snowy weather for two hours waiting in line.

I have to admit, after going to the concert, I have had some interesting dreams, which is interesting in itself because I don't remember my dreams. One night I dreamt Alexander DeLeon from The Cab was my server at a mexican restaurant.. Still don't understand that one. Then the next night I dreamt about Travis Clark and he cut all of his gingery goodness off. That was kind of a sad dream. Haha.

Anyway, I should get back to work. What I don't get done today I'll just have to do later.

Endlessly

I feel like I'm sharing this everywhere possible, but it just makes me so happy! When I went and saw The Summer Set and The Cab back on the 3rd of February, I got to meet both of the bands. Well The Cab had a videographer following them around that night to film - what is now apparent - a tour video (yet they filmed the whole thing in Pontiac..). Well The video was released today on Buzznet, and I'M IN THE VIDEO!

It just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. :]
