So its October 2011. Alot has changed since i submitted my last post. I am no longer living in Mid City. I am no longer playing kickball with the KOCC. I am no longer on facebook. Ill start with facebook. Facebook has continued to irritate me with its lack of privacy, people reading in between the lines of your life and the sheer fact that dating someone on facebook is just a disaster. Oh and i love the "you should be friends with your ex" icon that posts on the upper right hand corner of the webpage.
I also love when you are not online, it shows you are online and people message you saying "wait, you are supposed to be out somewhere having fun, not online". Man, social media is just too much to handle sometimes. So now im on google + and twitter. Twitter is awesome because you can state whatever is on your mind and not be found online or have crazy long lost relatives contact you. "Why does your mom hate me so much?" Gee, i dont know and WHY do have to contact me via facebook to ask me that question. So yeah, done with facebook.
Mid City. Well, living across the street from my now ex-boyfriend and living next to a bar wasn't really a great idea. Or living next to a good guy friend of mine's ex girlfriend who thought i was banging him wasn't a good idea either. Its amazing how so much drama could unfold in a square block. My landlords were good. That was about the only redeeming quality of living in that neighborhood. So now I am living in a vacant upstairs apartment that my parents own. Yep, free rent, 5 minutes away from the marigny/bywater, free electricity, and food whenever i want it. Its not too shabby. The only drawback is having mom and dad ask if you will be home tonight and not being able to have boys sleepover without explaining to mom and dad who they are and what relationship status you are in with them. So, i shall be returning to Mid City fairly soon, hopefully after November. Somewhere near the bayou where there are no bars or exes near by.
As far as my personal life, work is getting better and i have been playing the field of sorts the past two months. Its amazing what a haircut and weight loss can do for you. I'm getting back into my running. Every weekend in October i will be running a 5k. I love running. I love the endorphins and how i am not on depression medication due to my running. Its cheaper than meds and it helps you look good.
I'm no longer concerned with finding the "one" in life right now. My therapist brought up an idea the other day about "payout". Payout is what you expect to get out of a friendship or an intimate encounter . When there are no expectation of "payout", then a whole new world of no expectations arises and life becomes a little bit more fun. Oh and less pressure. So ive come to think about things in new ways and enjoy life a little bit more and take a step back and smell the roses.
Im more concerned about losing these pesky 10 lbs and getting a sweet apartment than finding the dude that can make me happy. I mean, cuddling is fun and everything but so is fitting into those skinny jeans.
