Moved out. Yay. In an apartment with my boyfriend, his cousin and his cousin's girlfriend. Going well so far. A little worried about money...ironically not mine but everyone else's! lol.

Well, I'll keep my journies updated as they happen.

Well, today I had my one-on-one interview with John at Wells Fargo. I really have a good feeling about this job. :] I really think I got it! I should know by tomorrow or the next day. I really hope I get it, then I can just step down at Starbucks and enjoy my job a little more. Haha.

I'll keep things up to date. :]

Quite a lot going on these days. At work I am currently in the process of being looked at for a promotion to assistant manager. Yay! A real, full-time salaried job. How nice will that be? :] At home I'm slowly, but surely making my room into a very organized, "user-friendly" kind of place for myself. Sweet. Definitely still enjoying my macbook. It's pretty much the source of my life...and I've had zero problems with it. By now if I had a pc it would've self destructed! Fuckin' Microsoft.

Weight loss...Good God...could it be any harder? It seemed like it was so much easier for me to lose weight the first time I did it. I'd started out weighing 127 lbs. (with a 5' 1" frame that's pretty hefty folks!) and then I got ALL the way down to 104 bitches!!! Of course, I gained it back...Last week I weighed in at 120 pounds again. I was so sad that I actually decided to get up off of my lazy fat ass and run every other day. I've run four or five times, and I have SOOOO much more energy. I've gotten myself down to 116 (although my recent period has put a dent into that...DAMN BEING A WOMAN!!!!!!!!). I am excited to be losing the weight and having more energy. I was very inspired (in all it's silliness) by Oprah. I bought her O magazine for this month and she had such an honest article about how she got so busy with taking care of work and the other people in her life that she forgot to take care of herself. I also like how she's decided to get fit and healthy, rather than just focusing on the numbers her scale throws at her (much like what I do!!!). Anyway, my point there is that she's right, and she inspired me to get myself into shape because, honestly, I've been feeling like I'm slowly falling apart and losing touch with who I am.

For instance, I used to be a real, honest to God artist, in every sense of the word. I used to write songs almost daily, draw comics, write stories, poems...blah, blah, blah. Now, I hardly even keep a journal because I'm so busy trying to take care of work, home, my boyfriend and every other possible thing in the world. I've really just lost touch with myself. This exercise that I've been doing is the first step to reconnecting with myself. I am also going to start setting aside some time each and every night to either draw, write or play music. Or maybe even just do it all! It just depends on the kind of mood I'm in I suppose. Basically, this year is going to be a year of finding, or maybe even just reinventing myself because, in all honesty, I'm not paying enough attention to my own needs.

I guess that's all for tonight. I hope that someone reads this...haha. I know it's my journal, but...eh...I've been entertaining people all over the internet as StalkerDex ever since I was 15 for God's sake, so it'd be cool to stay in tradition on here. ;]

PEACE!

CHRISTMAS 2008

BEAUTIFUL DAY. I GOT ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4, AN ATHENA IPOD DOCK, LAW AND ORDER THE SIXTH YEAR, WII MUSIC AND A FEW OTHER ASSORTED THINGS. EVERYONE ENJOYED THE GIFTS I GOT FOR THEM AS WELL. THIS WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST CHRISTMASES I'VE EVER HAD. :]

XOXO

Lately I've been rather inspired, and there have been several occassions during which I have wanted to sit down and write on here. This entry is going to be a little bit random because of that, so I deeply apologize.

First note of business...I've gained quite a lot of weight recently, but you know what? Life is so short and there's so many other things out there I could be doing other than worrying about looking like a model (which I have never acheived, by the way) so why bother, right? I'm healthy. That's all that matters.

Second, George. He sits outside of my Starbucks all of the time, talking to those who wish to talk to him, and simply coexhisting with the rest. I admire him for being the way he is...and even envy him to a degree. I also had this crazy moment where I could see the world as though we were all sims. Just kind of there with each other, dealing with one another and accepting the fact that we are surrounded by one another. Some people I don't even interact with, which made it that much easier to see things that way. If only we have little green indicators over our heads.

Third, Nina is leaving our store, and I'm hoping this is a change for the better. We need some structure, and I truly hope that we can get some.

Fourth, here I am, right now, babysitting for the very first time. I have a five year old and a one year old. I've never even changed a diaper and here I am faced with this challenge. Currently they are both viewing "The Fox and the Hound" which is making life easy for me. However, I do detect a light poop smell, and I'm thinking I'm going to have to change someone's diaper soon! Wish me luck. I am having a good time, and I'm not as nervous as I was when I first got here.

Fifth, I think I may be developing a very good friendship with Cara. The kind I haven't had the opportunity to have in a while. I hope so.

That's all.

Thanksgiving: November 27th, 2008:

Well, Jeremy didn't even stop by today. I'm sure I won't see him at all for the Holiday. He always does this...it's either I spend the Holidays with his family or I don't see him at all. He never spends the Holidays with my family...and then my day feels all empty without him and I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck that I'm not with him. He probably won't even miss me. It won't feel like anything is missing to him...He won't even notice that I'm not there. He'll call me in an amazing mood later on tonight, while I listen to him talk to the rest of his family, only half way paying attention to me. Yeah. I'm 1000% sure that's how the night is going to go. That's the way it always goes.

Fuck the Holidays. All they do is depress me.
