I have not updated my account in months, and today feels like as good a day as any to resume. I am no longer in Boone. That is a huge change. I am taking a break from pursuing my degree in order to work on my own stuff. In April I am going to start at the Aveda Institute in order to get my esthetician license. I am excited to pursue something more ( Read more... )

I am going home this weekend, back to Concord. Jordan needs to go shopping, and I just need to see my family. I am dreading the heat. I have stayed in the comfortable area of Boone nearly all summer, and to be dropped back into the depths of hell like this won't be fun. But all in all, I am really ready to see my Concord people again. I have missed ( Read more... )

When I was young, I was like the crazy love child of Dianna Ross and David Bowie. I sang and danced and performed everywhere I went. I would perform on table tops at the light and water building while my father was trying to pay a bill. I loved having people watch me have fun. If that makes sense to anyone. There is a group of pictures of me, taken ( Read more... )

So today was hot. On the plus side, it didn't rain. I am unbelievably tired of rain. It is one of the very few downsides of living in Boone. So it is July, and Harry Potter madness is about to descend. Next Wendnesday OOTP movie comes out. Then the 21st is the big day. It is the end all of all days for Harry Potter fans. Harry Potter and the ( Read more... )

At last I have a job. It is so nice to have something productive to do with my day. It also makes me feel much less guilty about my beer and wine purchases. I can totally cover that with tip money. I am working at Blimpie, which is within easy walking distance of my apartment. So far so good. I get to work with really nice people, basically the ( Read more... )

So I think I am ready for the new semester to begin. I guess that makes me some kind of nerd, but there it is. I think I am really just ready to make my academic come back. I really have to get perfect grades from now on. I am super excited about the Mythology class I am taking. I have loved mythology since my Muppet Babies days. I also think it ( Read more... )

So I am officially 21. It feels good, I'm not going to lie. I had a blast with my friends up here in Boone, and soon I am going home to Concord to celebrate with my family and old-school friends. So more about birthday eve festivities. We had dinner at Dos Amigos, and then came back to my place for some chillaxin. At 12, we headed for Blowing Rock ( Read more... )

So this summer has great promise, however, I need money, badly. I have been on the job hunt since the middle of April, and so far, nothing. It gets a little frustrating. However, there are still some options. I am really hoping for this coffee shop in Blowing Rock. Its the kind of job I can do easily, and everyone there seems really nice. Until I ( Read more... )

So for something fun and different, I think I will make a list of my top 10 favorites. Songs, Movies, and Books. This should be fun, at least for me ( Read more... )

So today I discovered the best "getting ready in the morning" song: "Sympathy for the Devil". Of course I didn't discover that song, its a huge hit. However, I may have discovered how great it is for getting you ready for your day. Who would have know a song about Lucifer would put me in such a sunny mood? So far, summer is going super well. I do ( Read more... )
