summer is here. bored as hell. Robert is working in DC again, high rolling. talking all the politics, networking with all the (what I like to call) "fakies"... but he's good at what he does, and I know he'll be AmAzInG some day. I don't start work until June 22nd. So i have nothing to do all day long and no one to hang out with, seeing that my gals are either in NYC or C'ville. I'm dying of boredom. I've recently taken up playing with the Nintendo Wii (which I actually highly recommend, it's quite fun). I also consume my days with watching Dawson's Creek reruns [love it, I do it every summer...i'm obsessive] and working out for about 2 hours in the morning. I also shop like crazy. 'temptation rides on an idle horse' they say.. i guess my temptation is to go shopping for "work appropriate clothes"... aka: TEACHER CLOTHES..yessssss. I can't tell you HOW MUCH FUN it is to shop for old lady clothes, not even kidding. I mean, part of the reason I want to teach is to wear those fantastically hideous holiday vests. Don't worry, i have a few stylish pieces as well...  While we're on the subject of style and fashion.. I have officially declared myself the worst shoe shopper in the world. I'll say it. I'll confess it. I HATE SHOPPING FOR SHOES. it sucks ass. plus I never know what's in and i hate wearing heels and i never feel comfortable in whatever i'm shopping for. I always wear my sporty flip flops with UVA on it or my leather rainbows. And if it's cold, I wear pointy boots. Oh and my moccassins. That's it. All this strappy shit with little heels and wedges and buckles are NOT fun. On a completely different note, I'm writing again folks. As in book/story writing. I've taken inspiration from the oh-so-fantastic TS Eliot and Frank McCourt and Orson Scott Card--aka: kat's writing gods. Nice group there, huh? I hope it amounts to something of substance. I'm getting anxious about my engagement. WHEN WILL HE ASK ME ALREADY?!?!  haha, he tells me that I'm trying too hard to figure it out--that maybe i'll end up just planning out my own proposal. Personal goals on my quest that is life: 1. stop being so controlling 2. stop being so jealous 3. get my PhD 4. stop living my life in fear of losing everything (after my accident, i've been so scared that everything/everyone could end up gone..) 5. write a novel THAT GETS PUBLISHED ya'll should check out the show on the Discovery Channel called Planet Earth (if you haven't already). It's pretty cool--especially if you watch it in HD. that's all i've got. happy summer. |
