Happenings

Today, mark this down on your calendars, I finally got all of my stuff moved into one space. That's right, everything that I own is in one state. One city. One apartment. That hasn't been true since high school. When I was in college I had a lot of stuff at my parent's house. In fact I've had a lot of stuff at my parent's house since college. But when I took the road trip out here I cleared it all out and brought it with me so they could move to Dubuque. Then for the past few years i've had stuff everywhere. At one time i even had stuff in four different states. Yikes. So it feels pretty good. I cleared out the storage unit today as well as hauling all of my stuff out of the respective friends' houses who have been letting me crash the past few weeks. It feels good. I am living on my own. No roomates. No one. This is exciting! I am not saying that it won't be lonely, because it will. But i will be independent and that will be exciting. I have a lot of work to do still, but the place looks good. There is a balcony overlooking Mt. Tabor and the neighborhoods of southeast Portland. I have my own kitchen and bathroom! All of my stuff is one place! I even had a job interview this morning to be a teller at Wells Fargo. Not very exciting I know, but I kind of like the idea of a 8-5 job. And i like to spend my weekends camping, not working. So we'll see how that goes, otherwise I start a job on Monday working at a Day Care facility, which would be okay too. At least with them, I won't have to buy new clothes!

Blah, Blah, Blog

So i'm a little late to pick up on things, especially when it comes to technology. The internet has been around for a really long time, at least since i graduated high school and all i really know about it is how to check my email. I mean look at this blog. I don't even have any pictures on it. I tried once to upload a picture and got frustrated after twenty or so minutes and stopped. Other people's blogs have all kinds of pictures and links and networks. I just got words for ya. I hope you're okay with that. But i feel like most of us aren't okay with that anymore. Maybe we all just have ADHD and can't handle a whole paragraph without a picture or something floating across the screen. Maybe i'm just jealous because i don't know how to make my blog flashy. I don't have a camera phone so that i can take pictures on my road trips and post them, instantly, to my blog, miles and miles away from a computer. Maybe i feel resentment in the fact that anyone can have a blog, and it seems to me that everyone already does have a blog, so what makes me so special? What makes me think anyone would ever want to read mine? Maybe no one is reading it. That's okay too. Maybe it's even better that way. Maybe then i can get away with really writing.
