now or never

Well hello again Tumblr!!

To all my followers (like 10 of you) I have a great deal for you.

I recently stumbled upon (not the app, but actually found it) a website where you write blog posts and then members vote on your posts. If it makes it to the home page, you get $20!! Simple as that.

So here is the deal. If you create a profile (fo free) and write posts, I promise to vote for you if you promise to vote for me. Because who doesn’t love $20 for like 5 minutes of time, right?

On thursday my wonderful boyfriend and I will take a Valentine’s trip to Orange County. We will visit old friends and old places, eat our weight in Mexican food, and hopefully get in to Disneyland for free.

However, just as it begins to warm up in Washington, weather calls for rain in Orange.

Just. My. Luck.

Because my head is still pounding from my night of drinking on Saturday. Saturday.

Also, I think I’m growing an old lady mole underneath my chin…

I’m lost.

I returned to DC after being completely in love with the city. Now I am realizing that a lot of that love came from the people I was experiencing it with. I am struggling with finding myself and therefore have been unable to find other people. I am in this strange limbo between college me and adult me. I just don’t feel like myself.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t regret anything. I have a full-time job at an awesome company, I have a loving boyfriend, and I live in a cool area of town (even though I live in a living room), but I just feel like there is something missing. What’s missing is friends. I haven’t really found friends yet and it really get’s me down some days. But then I realize that being down isn’t going to help me find friends. So then I pick myself up. But then I’m stuck and don’t know where to find friends again. Even if I did know where to find friends, I am afraid that I am so far away from myself that I would have trouble connecting with them.

I try to remind myself that I will have company soon. More people I know will start moving to DC. But then I get frustrated with myself for banking on that and not making friends on my own. I used to be that weird girl that would talk to anyone and introduce myself to everyone. Last night, I went to check out an AWESOME room in a group house. I sat in the living room with the roommates and two other people that were looking at the room and I realized that I was the one going unnoticed. It feels like freshman year of college all over again, only I can’t rely on anyone to break me from it.

I need to go home and refuel. I think that is the best remedy at this point. Pull myself together. Surround myself with people I love and people that love me.

Fingers crossed. 

Happy Holidays.

This stuff is the shit.

Snow!

To move? Or not to move. That is the question.

Happy Wednesday....

A great way to start off december
