Thrilled. I can’t wait for what’s ahead.
Please __ ____.
I wish you would just ____ __________.
Also, don’t think that _ ____ ___ ________ left for ___.
Why’d ya have to go and remind me so non-chelantley?
I can’t even go on pretending like there was even a glimmer of hope… & honestly, I think I’ve reached the end of this rope.
Time to tie knots, each spread out 2 feet away. I can finally start from the bottom and climb all the way up to the top, where I’ll be able to see what new possibilities are out there for me.
Thanks for being kind. But I need to look out for me, and see what’s out there to find.
Maybe someday it’ll all come together, but instead of going on with endless wonder, I’ll happily settle for a bit of light tether.

Duhbestlastminutedecision! So lovely to see a familiar face! ❤❤ (at Doug Fir Lounge)
I was super ready for bed.
A good day for a hat. This rain won’t quit!
What happens when you can’t make up your mind because there are too many good options?
A breather in between morphemes, transcriptions, phonemes, allophones, and symbols. Phew!
The way things work
I was beyond stressed out about finding work, in a new city… not knowing ANYONE. With the 20+ applications I’ve passed out, and the 10 Interviews I’ve gone on (which, by the way, is mind-fu*king-blowing) it ended up being a waiting game. Some folks I’ve talked to since (the ones who’ve interviewed me) said they were still on the search! I understand. With this entire dry and repetative process, I hadn’t heard back and got freaked out… soon enough, one of the jobs I applied to last month fell into my lap by what seems sheer coincidence.
And then suddenly, within these last 2 weeks (and especially this week), I was contacted from 3 other places. Really? Seriously? C’mon… how does that even exist? It’s like my friend said, “it seems they were all sleeping when you dropped off your resumes, and then finally woke up and decided to call at the same time.”
My response: “I feel like it’s a practical joke that they’re playing on me…”
It’s not that I am not grateful to have found work, where others simply, can’t… it’s that the world likes to play tricks, and makes people extremely anxious. Oh goodness… what to do?
It’s 73 degrees
The breeze is crisp
The city is awake
It’s the middle of the afternoon
I’m at Rogue
And I’m officially employed again.
Life is good.
I’m glad my friend sent me this link, I’m feelin’ the creative itch again.
…and to put a cap on today’s great vibes, this trailer just made it THAT much more exciting. What a funny coincidence, I am in the middle of one of his books. Weeeeee!
(NOT) A Case Of The Mondays
Nothing particularly outrageous happened today, but I just thought I’d recall the small instances that happened, to remind me of the fact that we all will have our good & bad days. Today, was a good day.
Slept in.
Went outside to the perfect weather.
Got coffee and a croissant at Albina.
Went in to talk with Amber about a summer job, owner of Le Cookie Monkey.
Got some free cookies.
Headed downtown.
Met up with Hannah in the Park Blocks, for the Earth Day festivites!
(missed Earth Day festivities and caught the last act play out the few songs they had left… admired the upright bass player =)
(realized I’d walked through Earth Day once before, not knowing it was Earth Day, on my first visit to Portland 2 years ago.)
Ran into Kyle!
Walked to Courier to get some coffee… but sadly, they were closing up.
Walked to Stumptown instead.
Sat and read… then wrote some letters to send off.
Got a coffee before I left… and for some reason, the barista decided to just give it to me… which made my day!
Walked out and saw a glorious dog, decided to pet it.
(heard a knockin’ on the window above)
Ran into Chelsea and Chris!
Kept on walking, and ran into Alexis!
Class was let out a half hour early, for no reason.
I got a text in class from my housemate, Alex, informing me that my other housemate, Christian, was going to put together a yummy chicken dinner tonight.
Caught every green light on my way home and managed to get back within 15 minutes (which never ever happens).
Sitting on my warm bed.
This might not sound as exciting as it actually was, but hey, it was for me.
Happy Earth Day!
