A fresh start...sort of.

I've always dreamed of having a more substantial blog in which I explicate issues and theories that I contemplate in a coherent manner. Unfortunately, every single blog I've started on LiveJournal has turned into a rambling mess centering around my personal life. In an attempt to move away from the 'wah wah' aspect toward a more unified, mature

You know there are far worse things you can do that not immediately jump into a graduate school situation you're not sure you even want right now. Move to Pittsburgh. Explore the job market. Explore the relationship. Oh, yeah, and meet me for coffee or something the next time I'm out that way for work! *grin*

:) I was so stressed out about grad school because I definitely know that I want to do it eventually, but I also know that it would be far too stressful for me right now. We'll see what happens. And I'm definitely down for coffee, always. It would be nice to meet someone who is a bigger reader than I am! The relationship guy isn't a big reader so I know I'll be itching for some booktalk.

I'll keep you posted on where I'll be when -- I'm usually in Pittsburgh at least twice each calendar year, if not more!

Always happy to meet up and talk books with people and meet my LJ friends in real life!

I think you're making very educated decisions about your life. Love is good but it has to be the right time for us, and work with out lives. School is good, but it too, has to work with our lives. Knowing yourself and being comfortable with who you are is the best way to move forward in life. I feel like we are doing the same thing right about now! It's nice to have someone I can relate to on my FL.

Thank you! It's so good to hear that from someone. Sometimes I feel like I'm over-analyzing and it feels weird to actually be making such huge decisions. It is indeed very nice to have someone else doing the same thing, so I don't feel so crazy. I look around me and none of the people I surround myself with seem to be making the same kind of decisions and it makes me crazy!

breaks are good. nothing wrong with a break so you can reassess everything & make sure you are going in the right direction towards wherever you want to end up.

as far as moving, nothing wrong with that either. and you know what? for all those people who think it's rash etc blahblah, you're not married to a city. so whatever. if something happens, you are free to move elsewhere. i don't personally see the problem.

I knew you'd understand, also! :) I definitely value your opinion because I've known you for so long and you've already been through a lot of the stuff I'm dealing with. I just need a breather. A lot of people (especially from our neck of the woods) are so incredibly hesitant about moving, or talk about it all the time but never manage to take the initiative, but this is something I've luckily never had a problem with it. Nor have you!

oh my goodness!!! moving to Paul! He is such a cutie pie! I support this! I knew there was something there...but not as intense and like this!

can I tell you that I will be moving to Texas to be with the man I fell in love with when I was 18, (after graduation and when I feel I am financially stable to move to a new state and find a job, and flourish in a new place with my love).

I like this new direction. However don't feel like you can't be gushy and always make those entries private. Even though rambling mess sounds bad, it can also be good.

[everywastedkiss]

;) Oh yes. Love is in the air! Haha. It's incredible to hear that I'm not the only crazy one moving to be with someone I love! It seems like we're in the exact same position. A lot of people say that they didn't realize the thing between Paul and I was super serious, but he's a private person. I've always kind of figured that we would end up together, but I knew that it couldn't happen yet so I didn't let myself get too crazy. A little crazy, but not a lot, haha. I didn't even know you had a man in Texas! So we're even.

Paul will be in Florida in a week or two, you should go say hi. ;)

I rarely talk about him on my lj and he doesn't do facebook, so things with him are super private. A lot of my life is on the internet (social networking + my photoblog website since 2003), so it's one thing that I am trying to keep old school and not broadcast to ze worldddd!

I just checked punchline dates and the closest they are coming to me is 4 hours away :( next time I guess!
