There once was a time when I used to post at least three times a day on this blog. That was probably three years ago, and I have since stopped posting so much personal information online. I was so mouthy back then, too! Surprising, I know. I’m trying to get back into the groove (but really, who needs to read another John Cusack <3 post?). I’m thinking about going back to writing in real journals, but ever since Billy read my ones from middle school, maybe I should just stop writing to prevent future embarassment. In any case, let me update you on my life!
I’ve been married for a year now. We are thinking about buying a house. I have fine-tuned my ability to bargin-hunt, using my skills for evil. I applied for a job at the library in Janurary, and was hired. It is my current dream job, because seriously, it’s everything I’ve wanted in a job (Blockbuster+Barnes and Noble in one!). So, no more Five Guys. Dylan has become a domestic jungle cat, a kitten we love more than anything in the world, yet equally loathe as well.
Das ist alles.
Will You Be There?

My Michael Jackson Story
At 3:25PM EST, I told Alex at work that if Michael Jackson ever died, I would feel old. At that exact time, he was being taken to the hospital in L.A. Freak coincidence? Maybe… maybe not.
Spoooooooky!
Instead of doing something useful, I spent some time playing around with my makeup collection. For a person who doesn’t usually wear anything, I own a lot. The least I can do is put it on once a year. But I don’t know how to put on stuff, so that Bare Minerals I bought last March has been wasting away in a box. I look like the first pictures every day. This makes me wonder: Do I look blah? Would I look better if I combed my hair and put on some lipgloss instead of the go-to lip balm? Hmm.
This is a long time coming, but I just had to share this. I turned 23 years old in February, and this is how I spent it. I forgot just how gosh darn fun it was! Everyone should spend their birthday at Disney World, it’s awesome. I got in free, and I chose to go to Epcot with Billy, his parents, and Thomas. I wish I could go everyday.

I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
-Marilyn Monroe
As of today, I am back.
BSG. ‘Nuff said.

Yes, I know I don’t blog much. I really should, especially since I am still alive, AND it’s been six years since I’ve started writing and I really should improve sometime soon. But no.
I’m here to tell you to watch Battlestar Galactica. Don’t question it, just embrace it before it’s gone.
