I haven't blogged since October.
Yes, I know.
You didn't miss me!
Mostly, I haven't blogged because there's no direction for this space. My roomie Liz has a wonderful blog, Dance to the Radio, dedicated mostly to music, some to fashion. And she does a wonderful job because that's her jawn. But what's my jawn? One of my other friends had a hard time getting me a Christmas gift, just because my interests are super specific, and they usually change with the position of the moon.
And I definitely don't want to talk about my life. Okay, of course I do, doesn't everyone? But... A.) gossip mill. B.) dramz. C.) if none of the above, dull at best. I could talk about my cat and her idiosyncrasies, but I'm not ready to be labeled as an old cat lady yet.
So, I guess I need suggestions on topics. Or something. Direction on what to do here and in my life would be much appreciated. Especially since I am apparently not a Gemini anymore.
2010 was a year. I believe that's what 365 consecutive days are called. I finished college, started grad school, went further in debt, moved, was single, then was not, went to Florida, celebrated holidays and birthdays, and generally trudged through the year.
Okay, that was a really bad reflection.
For now, let me share some goals for 2011, I'm done with 2010. That is ancient history.
1. Find a "real" job.
Finding a real job requires effort and showers. Don't know if I'm up for it yet. I keep applying and taking personality tests and aptitude tests. But the going is slow. Especially since I lack direction on a career and a location. Sense a theme?
2. Lose 30 lbs by the end of May, 50 by September.
People hate this. They think it is unhealthy and whatnot. Some people don't want to hear about it at all. Like my life isn't supposed to be like The Biggest Loser. REAL people don't weigh that much. Anyway, I don't hate this goal yet, but talk to me in a week when my legs don't work anymore and all I want is a hot, steaming bowl of delicious macaroni and cheese with a side of black forest cake loaded with vanilla ice cream. If my arms aren't so sore that I can't lift the fork to my face.
3. Finish grad school...
...without punching someone in the face or failing a class due to lack of interest.
4. Finish Landmark curriculum.
I took a great class called Landmark that basically gave me the tools to handle life and make it work. Despite the teasing by most friends, I found it really helpful and am continuing the education so that I can live with direction and power. So that's on the list...
5. Write a novel/screenplay in a month.
This is going to happen in February or April. I'm so excited. No showers necessary.
6. Learn Espanol.
Enough to get by in Tijuana.
Goals, goals, goals. This year, the score is going to be Universe: 1,297,283 Me: 6
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get through this crazy professor's boring ass economics class. Then I have a date at an Irish Pub with an Irish bartendar. I really wish alcohol was zero calories.
I love you, but I hate that I have to put on real pants in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI support your goals. You let me know if you need anything at all.
