updates on my here and now...

My new here and now....


I moved into my friend Brea and Danny's place. I'm renting a room from them until I can save up some money to get a place of my own, either here in the south Bay area or move somewhere else. It's nice livng here. Theyre cool people, if a bit of an odd couple, hehe. One of thier cats, Midnight, has adopted me. I am officially his. He even sleeps in here with me now. He's a beauty, and LOUD and he loves to talk!! But i love having a pet again.

Work is good. I love being back with the kids. It's never a dull day and they kids are fun, even when being insane. The girls I work with are cool for the most part. We have a few dingleberries, but they're everywhere, can't escape it.

I am single again, obviously. But am doing a lot better with it than i thought i would be. I have no desire to get involved with anyone seriously at this point in time. I have made a few new friends, strictly platonic friends that is. A few really nice guys. One is a total geek like me, we have hung out and geeked out at a museum recently and are going to a concert together tomorrow. So, needless to say I'm looking forward to that, should be a lot of fun!!

I have dyed my hair again... originally i had dyed the underside blue back in feb, then it faded to black. Now i have the underside orange.. kind of a sunburst effect, it's orange, red and yellow. The top is still black. I am now actually contemplating chopping it all off and growing out my "Fuck Me bangs". I feel the need for big changes, and i've had the same hair do for about 2 years now.

Let's see what else... My grandpa died a week and a half ago. Hit me hard. I was getting ready to ask my Dad to help fly me out to visit, and my Dad called and told me he had passed. I love my Grandpa, he was my hero growing up, he made everything seem so great. He taught me about digging up night-crawlers, taught me to bait a hook, how to fish. He was funny and handsome and happy and a total smartass. I'll miss him forever but I have a lot of great memories and will hold those close in my heart forever. I always think of him when i smell fresh coffee or cherry pipe tobacco. He led a great long life, and many people loved him because he was a good man. I'm glad I got to go home and say goodbye to him, even if just a bit too late.

So, that's about all on my side of the tracks. Keep on keepin on. I'm going to do that myself. Push forward and hope for brighter better days ahead...
