so my old friend
popjew has just started a
tumblr about how much she misses lj. so i decided to revisit mine.
and now apparently i have decided to post something. weird.
ANYWAYS!
1) i have a new boyfriend, let's call him scud (we have a nautically-themed relationship and it's alliterative with his rl name. sidenote: i forgot that hiding people's rl identities with nicknames is THE BEST). is anyone really surprised BWNK! didn't work out? that's what i thought. surprise, surprise, he's moving back to lancaster to take over the family biz. scud is a musician and entrepreneur. this is good cause he's thoughtful, expressive, AND intelligent and responsible enough to be real adult and pay his own rent and handle shit. the bad things are he's depth is sometimes really dark and he's on tour a lot, which is difficult since, in case you forgot, i am one high-maintenance, needy bitch of a girlfriend.
2) i have a new job. a real, adult one too (you know the 9-5, M-F kind with benefits and a salary). that i've held for almost two years no less! i work at a non-profit that build community gardens and plant trees. i know, how sweet, blah, blah, blah... but i hate working 9-5 in an office environment, so THANK GOD i'm leaving in a few short months, which brings me to the next thing...
3) i'm going to grad school in the fall! not only that, i'm not going into debt to do it; i'm one cheeky, little bastard aren't i? georgetown's english department offered me full-tuition remission + a $7K/semester stipend to get my MA. SWEET DEAL!
4) scud has been teaching me drums, so that, yoga, eating, riding my bike, going to shows, sleeping, and having sex take up the bulk of my time. we played our first show as the gytters in jan and cakeshop.
also i had the craziest/weirdest sunday, which i want to go into details about soon.
i walked away from the whole experienced vaguely traumatized, but with a cute, new sweater (pictured below) and some leather pants, so we'll call it a draw?
ok. that's all for now. both my bosses are out, so i want to leave work early to practice drums at the space, then spend the rest of the night partying with scud and our (originally his) english friend whose only here for a night on his way to jamaica.
who knows, maybe there's more to come?! maybe not?! we'll see
