Um Yeah.

Well, I feel like it's been too long since I last wrote anything, so I am just going to put a bunch of randomness out there, and then go iron my pants. I have got to do it tonight because I am still getting used to the whole idea of looking "put together" in the morning, and therefore do not know how to give myself adequate time to complete all 8 million tasks one must do in the morning before work.

Work=Good. I like it a lot, and I think I fit in pretty well with my co-workers and I sometimes feel like its just one big internship or a service project or something, not my real job. I think that's because I am still getting over the fact that businesses pay people to sit, and that my duties aren't exactly as concrete as they were previously. But I really enjoy being able to use my brain, and actually have people appreciate it, rather than feel like my daily existence was just an insult to all intelligence and common sense.

I'm also pretty damn pleased that it's just about springtime. I love daylight savings time, and I especially love the fact that it's longer this year. My crocus's in the front yard are coming up one by one, and so far the squirrels haven't trampled them. That means that the tulips and daffodils won't be far behind, and thanks to global warming, we probably won't get any early spring frosts to kill them like last year. But honestly, I love spring. It's my favorite season of all. I could do maybe 3 weeks of summer, two weeks of fall (I have horrendous hayfever then, otherwise I'd probably enjoy it more), and one week of winter. The other 46 weeks of the year should be spring. I wore flip flops today after going for a jog (that's right, I excercised!). I was also completely moved by the fantastic weather that on Saturday I opened all my windows, cleaned my ENTIRE apartment (for the first time probably since Andrew did it all when I was in Ireland), and even took the huge stack of donations taking up a good chunk of my living room floor to Goodwill and the computer recycling place.

I think spring came just in time, too. I was starting to get a little freaked out about stuff like my car, money, the shitty apartment I have lived in for WAY too long, etc. I know that the good ol' accord only has a little more time left on this earth, and with my jacked up credit card balances (thanks to 2+ months of sporadic employment and Christmas), I have been feeling that I might never be debt free. Honestly I know I am just impatient. I am making more than enough to live off of, finally, and I just need to have a little self-control and pay it off chunks at a time. But I want instant gratification, and I want to move into a nice new apartment and drive a nice new car and sit my happy ass on a nice new couch. Lifes too short to worry about that sort of bullcrap, but my crazy-person side forgets that. Now I can get out and walk and relax and get a little sun and stop going so damn stir-crazy. I hope.

Finally, I am starting to realize that I'm gonna be 25 soon. I think that's kind of a big deal. I am not one for big parties or anything, but I'd really like to celebrate my birthday this year for real, instead of just dinner out and taking it easy all day. It's on a Sunday, which is fantastic because that is always a good day. And, we can go out on Saturday night. So.....if anyone wants to do anything, let me know. I obviously get veto power, but I am not really coming up with anything in particular at the moment. That could change, and if I do think of something, all concerned parties will recieve some sort of email with the plans. It might be last minute, so just keep the 31st free if possible.

Ok, I better get to ironing. And finishing off this 4 day old bottle of Sancerre. It's not so bad, surprisingly. I'm sort of shocked that it's still around, actually. Good stuff like this should not go to waste, even if it is just a Monday night!
