Roll With the Punches...

Who ceases to be a friend never was one. -Greek Proverb


Oh how the chips they fall. This, my friends, is a year of burning bridges and clearing up cobwebs..


And by bridges and cobwebs, I mean bitchy ex-friends and ex-boyfriends who could never really appreciate me for my friendship and who I am. I've gone through some drama in the past few months, and it's really hard to imagine that I'm as content with it as I am. I'm content with having lost some of the people who, at one point or another, meant more to me than they could have known. But in the end, I've realized that these people don't deserve me.


They don't deserve what I have to offer them as a friend or girlfriend. I've spent more than an adequate amount of time and energy on these people and their ridiculous drama. Quite frankly, I'm relieved that I don't feel obligated to support or enable them anymore. In a way, I have come into a sense of freedom that I have never really known before. It's enlightening, to say the least, and I feel like an incredible weight has been lifted off of my back.


In other news... KATIE HAS GOTTEN MARRIED! I'm so excited to share this news with the world. The wedding was beautiful, the reception was beautiful, the bride was beautiful. Hell, the bride IS beautiful. I can't wait to see the kinds of experiences that Katie and Eric will go through together. I have to say, though, I'm already jealous of their honeymoon. The two of them have been in NYC since this past Monday, and Katie won't stop sending pictures to me. I am an ugly, green monster named "Envy."


Not much is going on by way of the job front. Honestly, I haven't looked very hard, but the search is going to become pretty frantic pretty soon, considering the fact that my bank account is looking rather slim lately.


Anyway, I'm fairly aware that my writing hasn't been up to par lately, but I'm going to keep trying to make a concerted effort to post more often. 

Just a forewarning...

You should be expecting a rather sizable update in the next... oh, let's say 24-36 hours.

I have a large amount of things to tell you, my dears. After all, it has been a rather long time since I've written.

Take Your Shoes Off Your Teeth and Stop Running Your Mouth

I never ever considered that I would actually be in danger of wildfires. This summer is complete and utter MADNESS.

Natural disasters seem to be all sorts of confused as of late. Hurricanes are hitting the Eastern seaboard, and wildfires have been running rampant throughout Texas. Bastrop State Park will look rather haggard and bare once they manage to snuff out the flames. It's sad, really, that our beautiful state is suffering such a tragic crisis, but there really isn't much we can do other than battle it as best we can.

I direly wish that some sort of divine force of intervention will come along and rescue us from this ridiculous drought.

But wait, this is supposed to be a blog about me. Me me me me me.

A couple of weeks ago, I was sent a job listing for a company called Allied-THA. The company does regional publicity and promotions for high end entertainment clients. I applied, got into the first round of interviews, got into the second round of interviews, and I have been waiting since last Tuesday to hear what the outcome is. Frankly, I have the mind that I didn't get it, but I like to think that I made a damn good impression either way.

Other than that, not much is different. I'm through with all of the traveling for now, but events are stirring up for the fall, and I am MORE than excited. I have a wedding to go to in October with some rather charming arm-candy (I know you're reading this, so text me), there are some really awesome shows to go to and I have a friend who might possibly be wearing a gorgeous new piece of jewelry before the end of the year. Things are looking up.

That being said, I'm going to thank my friend Hanna for working at Star Cinema Grill in Missouri City. Since she has been working there, I have seen three different movies fo' free! I plan on going to see Shark Night this afternoon...alone... I don't expect to have anyone else in the theater. Anyway, it's free of charge, so I'm definitely not complaining about being able to see a very probably crappy movie. Honestly, I couldn't care less, I just love movies.

"Gainfully Unemployed" Will Lose its Charm Soon

The waiting game is the absolute worst kind of game. Ever.

OH AND PS...

I have opened my very own etsy shop! I plan to sell handmade jewelry (most of which is made to order). The items I'm selling are inexpensive and usually for casual, everyday wear.  Go ahead and take a peek!

Shut The Back Door Etsy Store

I am very aware that I only have one item for sale right now, but I figured I would go ahead and get the store running and see how well my stuff sells before going all out crazy coocoo bananatown.
