In bullet form. 'cause I haven't updated in FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Wassup? Yeah, my hair is long.
- I quit retailjob.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuesday was my last day and while I was sad to say goodbye to Dana and Carmella they will be around for a bit longer and it was a good job while it lasted but I am DONE and I DO NOT WORK THERE ANYMORE and I am 100% happy to just be a customer now wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
- I still work at sbux.
I love it. It is awesome. I mean, now I don't have retailjob to HATE HATE HATE so I am liking sbux a little bit less, but I still love my customers and coworkers, even though all the cool kids keep quitting. I've got probably at least another 6 months in me at that store, and heaven knows if I'll ever be able to move out and transfer. At the moment I am just concentrating on surviving full time school for awhile and saving money.
- I start school tomorrow.
I am taking The English Novel, Medieval European history & Renaissance Literature. I am excited to learn things and Be In School, I am not excited to read my nine textbooks and do homework and write papers and also run the fuck across campus twice a day. Sigh.
- I am
internetlong-distance dating this really cool guy named Damien.
The distance totally sucks but he is awesome. Hee. When did this happen? Sometime in the last month. It is new and exciting and fun. Yeah. :)
- I was invited to Portland Fashion Week as a photographer next week.
I really feel like every one of my list items should be followed by a gazillion exclamation points (and hearts, in the case of the previous point) but really now, this is incredibly exciting. It's because I Know Someone, as it were, and it's a huge opportunity, if anything for blogging and photography and awesome things, and I want to go, but need to figure out when it would be, and if I'm working or in school, and if I could get those days off. Sadly, I do not have my work schedule written down at the moment and don't work for the next 3 days. Dang. So I have to work that out like, tomorrow.
- I (hopefully) get to see Mary this weekend.
Woo! I haven't seen the girl since January. I am totes excited.
I honestly can't think of anything moar. Any questions?!

So, yeah, the funeral went okay, the graveside was super hard, but good. It's kind of a relief that it's all over, but I feel awful for thinking that when my two cousins don't have a Mom anymore. :\
Uh, in other, less crappy things, I have a blog! It is funny! And interesting! Serious.

AND I went salsa dancing last night and wrote about it. And even I think it's funny. hah!

Okayokayokayokay so I'll post an update, since I suck at updating on here, though I doubt anyone on here who checks is seriously wondering how my life is going.
As a response: It's going very good, actually!
I've been working a lot and trying to get through Spanish (SPANISH) and also becoming completely engrossed and interested in my Medieval literature class. There's a part of me that's thinking about focusing/specializing/majoring in the medieval stuffs, like art and history or whatever, but that's a bit specific for someone who's response to "What would you like to do with your life?" is "DURRR, fingerpaint?".
So... we'll see. Heaven knows I have, what, like another YEAR of full-time studentry before I make any decisions like that?
Working at Starbucks is really amazing, I'm not going to lie. I have days where I hate it but 95% of the time I'm happy to go to work and I'm happy coming home. I still hate going to work, but I really do have a lot of fun there, and my coworkers are amazing. We only have a handful of strange/creepy customers, so there's really no worries there.
I still work at Marshalls 2 days a week, buuut that's kind of. I don't know, I'm kind of done. I probably won't quit (because I need the money and also I'm afraid of quitting and also I'm a pussy and WHO KNEW, RIGHT?!). I do love working there, and I love my coworkers there too, but I've just been totally exhausted lately what with work AND school and all of the family stress going on right now, so... yeah.
Hopefully I will be able to work more next term and be a slightly happier camper with the possibility of moving out someday? Someday? Gawsh, someone needs to move out/move back to Portland and be my roommate because THIS SUCKS. Or else, keep me in mind when you win the lottery and have a spare million lying about? I'd do the same for you, chappies.
Coming up in my life is that it's almost finals, Darcy and I watched movies this weekend, I get to go visit Jessica in what, April? And and and in May I am being visited by a certain someone who I am looking forward to seeing Very Much, which will be amazing. Not to mention out of my comfort zone, but who knew?
Also to mention I'm kind of thinking about trying to put together a Photo-Quest-Scavenger hunt in downtown Portland for when/if dear wombatprincess (my dearest flurbs) comes to visit next. Gio and I (Hi Gio!) talked about putting one together once and I still think it'd be super fun. But I did say that i wasn't going to organize things, but I'd like for us to have some sort of activity to do that doesn't involve 10 women walking around slowly and obnoxiously in WinCo. So maybe teams, and then splitting the teams into groups of 2, and then having meeting times or whatever and swapping? That sounds kind of complex, but it'd give us something to get done and also give us the chance for small-group experience (something we are SORELY lacking. Team plaid needs more EXP, baby!) so yeah, tell me what you think about that, or if you have any ideas. Lately all I've been able to come up with is sparks, but no flames, if that makes any sense.
So there's my monthly update! Hope everybody's doing well.
And just remember...
Love has enemies.

Life is good. School is cool. Jobs are nice.
All of it together, not so much.
My birthday (at Jessica's) was AMAAAAZING, no lie. We got to play with the above kittens, which is always rad.
