The Life and Times of a Part Time Dreamer....

OK buckle down people we're going for in for the long haul on this one. It's been awhile and I have lots to tell but not much of it is organized so just sit tight and try to hold on while I try and dictate to you what on earth has ripped me off the planet and now graciously placed me back on it's surface. I left you in October yes? This is largely due to trying desperately to hold on to my new place in the work force. I've since learned to balance my job, school, and social life but for a while there it was a little shaky not to mention terrifying. I've settled into my job nicely and don't freeze up in panic when ever I'm asked to do something new. My co-workers are fun and up beat, not to mention funny which is a major bonus. It's nice to be able to enjoy work to an extent and not be terrified of the people around me. I have to say though, that getting put to work really shakes you out of your bubble of security and was the plague of my sanity for a lit...

I guess the best place to start would probably be at the beginning but this time I think beginning in the middle will do just fine. After all we can always come back to the beginning at the end. Have I confused you yet? :) So lots has happened. I got a job, married off my best friend, and I continue to march through my Senior year. And what beautiful day is has been today. Lately I have found my self increasingly drawn into the written word, ex specially since I have taken up reading Jane Eyre. The eloquence, imagery, and originality is astonishing with every page I turn. "Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me wi...

Do you ever get the feeling that if you look up there will be a mob of responsibilities waiting to come crashing down on you the moment you look away? You spend your whole day waiting and watching until you feel you'll go bonkers! Every once in a while you'll take down one of the less threatening ones and finish it, while the other, bigger, meaner, problems get more impatient and unmanageable. You keep making plans to get your list finished, as it steadily gets longer and longer, but seem to always find something else to take up that time. You find yourself searching for other things to do to distract you from thinking about those looming responsibilities. And as you avoid them, they get louder and begin shoving each other around in order to become first on your list of to-do's. When you finally have to stop avoiding them and lay down to sleep at night, you can't, because as you lay there trying to sink into oblivion they begin to chase each other madly, around and arou...

lets see what has been interesting this week.... we'll start with Friday: I was saddled with the task of babysitting my baby brother that morning while my mother went to my dear sweet cousins wedding. So I walked around in my flowery jammie pants and giggled and cooed at my new baby brother who has taken to giggling with a slight smirk on his face that seems to say " ha ha you look so dumb when you do that." When mom returned I got dressed and brushed my hair to go with her to the luncheon for the wedding attenders. I watched as my cousin floated around in her dress of white fluff and beauty, she was gorgeous. I watched while the uncles and grandparents talked and listen in passing as the aunts gossiped and laughed. I managed to track down my counter part in crime, my other awesome cousin, and give him the hard time I had been meaning to for a while. Later that night I wandered around the reception and played with my younger cute and fun girl cousins. They were all so exc...

"Jump jump!! come on!! no..no... nonoonononno!!!! dang it! DIE DIE!!! HA!" " Move over! wait! You pushed me down a hole! HIYA!! TAKE THAT! OHNO! fuzz..." These are the sounds that float up from our basement as my sisters struggle to master our new video game. Super Mario Brothers WII. As they wave the controls in the air and yell things like " Wait for me!" and " Don't die!", it looks and sounds like some strange ritual dance. I can't help laughing. It gets more interesting as they start to have conversations with each other. " We need to visit the KILL IT! KILL IT! the uh , the library." " Oh ya, my book is, AAH! dumb goomba!, my book, overdue, it is." It's like Yoda speak with strange interjections. I love my sisters but I'm beginning to wonder just how much I could get for them at the funny farm. My favorite part is when they start making up words like" snozle fluff", " Gooberfuzz", and ...
