Funny how things change.

I got a new job!  I wake up every morning surprised that I don't hate my life.  My friend and I got out of the hell-hole at the same time.  It was kind of like we were in a large warehouse, running away from people with guns.  The warehouse doors were closing and we just barely made it under the ever-lowering escape door right before imminent slavery and death.

Dramatic, I know.  But it is still kind of like that.

Now I'm bored.  I was just talking to a friend yesterday - it's like, you get out of school, you have all this debt and no money.  You used to just go get drunk with friends all the time, but now everyone's spread out, you're lazy and broke.  You have a significant other at home that you kind of really like hanging out with.  So you sit at home, watch TV, clean and then lament about how you're bored.

I picked up crocheting.  Again.  For the thousandth time.  Since my commute has grown from 8 minutes to 68 minutes, I'm actually 1/3 of the way through a scarf.  But then what?!

I've been watching Community lately.  I just got yesterday how they are a little community, and how important it is.  Now, we're all glued to our phones and laptops and tablets and TVs, very rarely having face-to-face conversations or hang-out sessions.  I don't like it, yet I cancelled my Twitter account the other day then immediately opened it again.  Haven't posted in almost a year - I'm just worried about losing my username.

Seriously.

So anyway - if you're a friend, please come hang out with me.  We can crochet and drink tea together, because I have yarn and tea and water.  I also have coffee - but no cream.

It's been awhile since my last post.  I did a lot of growing up and now have decided to join the Rebel Blogger movement.  If a movement can be defined as 2 people....

My excuses for never writing range from "who cares about what I think or write?" to "what if my boss or future employer reads this?"  Well, whatever.  I've decided I don't need a themed blog (popular ones for girls range from fashion, to music, to cute animals - all of which I love, but none of which I wish to write exclusively about) or one that has a vast following.

So here's to you, those three people that I know read my blog (Srav, Liz and Lorna)!  I'm going to start posting again.  I started today already!  Liz posted a DIY post I did on her awesome Get Rich or DIY Tryin' blog!  I made a cool little owl named George to hang on my wall!

Liz and I had a conversation while I was in Colorado that inspired me to start blogging again (more about the Colorado trip later).  She has been trying out blogger meet-ups and has decided that most bloggers are actually super snobby assholes, my words, not hers.  So, she decided to forget those guys and write about what she loves, and I'm supporting her movement by joining it!  It helps that my online persona is like Sam Weir in Freaks and Geeks.  The online world is so big!  There are SO MANY people out there writing and doing and creating. Almost nothing will set me apart, so, why bother trying?  I'm just gonna do what I love and screw the rest.

Life has been crazy lately.  TV shows and movies have been addressing kids, high schoolers, college goers, and 30-60 somethings lives forever.  But rarely does a show or story address the hell that is your mid-twenties.  Graduating from school, searching for a job that you'll probably hate, trying to decide how to act "grown up" and paying back student loans is stressful.  There are a lot of emotional and stressful situations, and there's no guide book.  Everyone I talked to about it says "just survive and wait for your thirties".

Surviving I am.  I moved in with my boyfriend in a super uncharacteristic move.  I have never been in a happier living situation since I got my period.  I finally got a job thanks to help from one of my best friends.  Boxing has become one of my favorite pastimes, and I'm not half bad at it.  Makes working out a lot easier, I'm much more motivated.  My friends since college have changed, and it's not always happy.  I feel a lot less social than I did in college, but I think that's just part of this era, I suppose.  I could go on and on; there are so many issues with being in your mid-twenties, but only so much attention span for one post.

So tune back in this week.  Read some entertaining stuff.  Or at least stuff you can either relate to or laugh about....
