I hate moving. Hate hate hate hate hate moving. I don’t even have my bed here yet! or 95% of my clothes. oops. Sunday I’m seeing Dependency and then Monday is Advent/ Cruel Hand/ Fingers Crossed. Venia is happening soon, too. thank you thank you thank you. Lots of job interviews this week.. so many, that I thought an interview was today that was actually tomorrow. Hahaha :D A couple job offers. I h8 retail. I’m ready to be finished with school. I’m ready to have a job that I WANT to have. I doubt either of those things will happen any time soon at all. I finished watching Season 1 and 2 of Community this week, I can’t frickin wait until the new season starts in a couple weeks. 

GPOY Interview dress and new years dress are the same thing. 

LOL

So. I just don’t know. Wow. WHAT?!

2010.

I spent the first month of this year in North Dakota. It was a really cold month. I knew I was leaving. I said my goodbyes, and vowed to make it work. In February I drove across the country by myself through nasty midwest weather and made my way back home. Back where I belong. I got to stop and stay with some of my favorite poeple ever. I stayed with Jill in St. Paul, MN and with Anna in Saginaw, MI. I developed a love for a little place called Chatterbox and made new friends in Michigan. When I got back home, I was immediately asked to come back to Mellow Mushroom. I remember getting a text when I was driving home asking me to come back. I don’t think my heart could have been happier. No one (except for mellow employees) will ever understand the family that the employees have there. It’s such a huge silly dysfunctional family, but it works. It felt so great to be back where I needed to be. Back with my best friends, with my family, around the people that love me the most. Oh, I also learned to not ever drive in bad weather at all. I totaled my car on some ice the week after I moved home. In March I went to Copeland’s last NC show. Loved it more than anything. Saw a man walking around W-S with a python around his neck. I started working on my half sleeve, which took me a good 8 months to finish! ha. I learned a lot of patience. In April, I took my best friends on a boating trip for my birthday. We had so much fun. No matter how cold it was :) In May I got to house itmol  and levi the poet for a little while when they were recording in NC at Jamie King’s studio. I absolutely love those guys and am so glad that I met them. We got to help out in the saving of a really cool cat named Ellie and Levi and I went to a baseball game and got all kinds of delicious free food. I also said goodbye to my favorite mellow co-worker ever. Gianna was the best. seriously. I visited the mall of america for the first time in May. I went there two days in a row, fell in love with H&M, and spent a good 15 hours in that mall total. I spent lots of time at Jake France’s house with his family and in their pool. Vicky France is one of the most caring loving mothers I have ever met, and she is truly such a great example to me. I had one of the most incredible summers ever. My sister bought a big pool for our back yard and we had so much fun in it. In June I said goodbye to the France’s. Brennan and I had a really great girls night with the bessssttt custard from Wolfies. It’s weird how God’s timing sometimes is, and how sometimes your bestfriend just knows. Because you both know. Because that is just how it is. In June I met As Hell Retreats, and met some of my favorite people that have ever slept on my floor. I stayed up until sunrise talking to someone who has proven to be a great friend, time and time again. Then in August, two weeks later, they were back! Jackson and I collected 76 pennies from the parking lot at Sheetz. On a completely unrelated note, by this time, things were over and I was okay with it. I took a road trip with my favorite Ashleys up to Pennsylvania and Maryland. I got a tattoo. Went to an incredible art museum. Heard a funny joke from an old lady. Took funny pictures and met a cute couple from S.Africa who is holding our pictures hostage. Drank my first Monster. Hung out with people close to me. Made a pact with someone who didn’t keep their end of the deal. Came to terms with life, and moved on.This month I also got my tragus pierced. Woo? And started working at Alumni Hall.  In September the sky was beautiful and I found a secret spot. It calms me. I love it. I discovered my love for cool whip and holiday sugar cookies. My Annie came to visit. Twice. We played in a giant jungle gym and I helped decorate the coolest cake ever for my bestfriend. In October I went to the fair. I love the fair. Everything about it is just good! I learned how to run a whole entire retail store with my bestfriend, and thoroughly loved the weather and everything about life. I also cut all of jackson’s hair off. I can’t believe I did that. STILL. Can. Not. Believe. Also, we got a big loud doberman named Lucy who I love love love love love. Except she thinks cats are snacks. Not so cool. For Halloween I hung out with Anna again, didn’t see Ke$ha, and had THE coolest tattoos ever. I was Kat Von D for Halloween, and Ashley drew all of my tatts on. In November, I finally finished my half sleeve. I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of (very talented) guys I had never met before. I ate lots of mexican food, and took lots o fun trips. December was pretty much the same. I decided I wanted to move to Charlotte, and now I am. I met some of the most humble, compassionate humans I’ve ever met. I’m so excited for A Past Unknown, and I really hope you guys keep your eyes open for them. This year I learned that wearing heels is okay to do whenever. Even if it is just to go to Walmart. I’m learning, with help, to enjoy the small things. I learned that I like sushi. I learned that the Panthers are absolutely terrible this year. I learned that I really like wearing yellow tights. I also learned that snow is okay sometimes, but only sometimes. Small doses is good, and that’s why North Carolina rules. Yesterday I picked up my last pay check from Mellow. Today I worked my last shift at Alumni Hall and turned in my keys. I don’t know what direction my life is going in, but I’m down for it. I’m going to miss you Winston! I think later I’m going to make a picture post of my year. Yep. :) L8R TUMBLR!

For those of you who do drink.

My beshtfriend is sleeping beside me. I think it was a really good idea for us to be friends. She’s really pretty, like a monkey. Anyways, 2010 was probably the weirdest year I’ve ever ever had. I was thinking about how much I’ve changed this year, and how much I’ll continue to change. And grow. And learn. And learn some more. I’m really excited about it! I don’t really have any “resolutions” for 2011, though. I am not sure what exactly it is that I want in life, but I definitely know what I DON’T want. So… that’s a start..right? haha :) I’m just going with the flow. Starting off fresh in a new town, at a new school, seeing what happens. I like my life a lot, and I’m really excited about the future! I think all of my latest posts have said that, but I am for really real real. So much good has happened! And so much more good is going to keep happening! :) Cool. God is cool. Life is cool. Everything is cool. 

Tonight I tried out Mad Men and Dexter. I liked Dexter more than Mad Men. I need to start from the beginning though, apparently. Had a pretty successful day of job-hunting, and I hope to do the same tomorrow. Then it’s back to Winston for a day or two. I want to go to a movie. Scratch that, I want to go on a date to a movie. In due time, I suppose. It’s not that I want to date someone, I don’t plan on doing that for a while. I just miss having someone to just hang out with whenever, who’s down to hold hands and walk around even when it’s cold outside, or to just watch stupid movies and play video games with. Or to just not even do anything at all. It’s just that feeling of someone caring. It’s not that people don’t care for me, I have the most amazing friends in the world who care so much about me, it’s just not the same, ya know? It’s okay though. One day. :) And next time, he better like Ke$ha. And hardcore music. And dumb rap music. And football. And life. (I know, my standards are pretty high..) Gooooooooooooodnight!

GPOY Moving-In-Edition. 

Hung out with Ash most of the day, went to Ikea, I finished my knitting, Magic Erased most of the house, put away some of the stuff in the kitchen, watched Two Towers, lots of Community, learned I could have been watching lots more Community earlier, and watching Lords of Dogtown now. Good day :) I miss my friends. But hey! First night alone in the new place! 

“Life is only worth a damn because it’s short. It’s designed to be consumed, used, spent, lived, felt. We’re supposed to fill it with every mistake and miracle we can manage. And then we’re supposed to let go…”
-Pierce’s dead mom. 

I love Community.

Oh no….. officially hooked. 

I can’t decide what I want to buy myself with my Christmas money. It will probably either be more work on my arm or a new digital camera body. Or I will just blow it on shoes and clothes I don’t need…. haha

More!

21. Your favorite subject to study.
I like learning about Jesus and about humans. I don’t like school, though.

22.  Do you play a sport? Tell us about it. If not, talk about a different hobby you may have.
These questions are seriously so dumb. I don’t play any sports, I’m an adult. I was a cheerleader in school and I love watching football, but no sports currently.

23. Your opinions on Lady Gaga.
Overrated. Ke$ha > Lady Gaga. 

24.  Tell us about the last movie you saw in theaters.
I think it was the new Jackass movie. It was totally inappropriate. Really hilarious, but I could have definitely done without.

25. Tell us about the last book you read (for leisure or for school.)
I mean other than my bible, I don’t remember. Textbooks I guess?

26. Name one place you would love to visit one day.
New York and CA

27. List your three favorite names, and your three favorite names for a pet.
Alden/Aldynn, August, not sure of others. And for a pet (cat) I would name it Archibald, Atticus. Can’t think of anything else. I guess I like names that start with A? hahah :) 

28. Your first celebrity crush.
Easy. John Michael Montgomery. 

29. Your opinions on the television show Glee.
Again, overrated for real. I’m just not that in to it.

30. Take a picture of yourself right now and post, or post the most recent picture you can find.

My new Panthers gear rules. Merry Christmas world!
