Hello, dear readers (all three of you), yes, I am back. For real. I hope to go back to blogging w/ some regularity, and maybe even blog more frequently (wouldn't that be amazing). Meanwhile, lemme give you the quick overview: last spring, the crazy roommates messed w/ the internet stuff, and I was too lazy (i.e. to scared of conflict) to put up a fight, so I didn't have internet at school. Then, I went on an extensive roadtrip w/ Best Roommate Ever (BRE, her new name, since I have so many roommates at this point) and we were in a wedding, etc. I ended up in Louisiana, where I lived w/ BRE for the summer and her fiancee' -sp?- came and visited us. Intermittently I traveled to various places, including back home to Texas, up to Boston, all culminating in the Family Vacation from Hell up to Maine (which, btw, is a beautiful place - it's not the state's fault that my family is Awful.)
Ok, so, umm, since it's been like four months since I've posted (woohoo), I obviously can't fill you in on every teeny, disgusting detail between then and now. So, here's a list of 11 New/Sort of New things about me:
1. I now live in a new house with fabuloso, non-crazy roommates. Yay!!
2. I now have my own bathroom. (The luxury of this is indescribable.)
3. Oh yes, I'm back here in SoCal for my second (of five!) years of psych grad school.
3. I got in a car wreck this summer and had to have my radiator and other Important Components of my car replaced. (Oh God.)
4. I got back together and then broke up with the Boy (Oh God, oh God, oh God.)
5. I put together, refinished, and painted my new nightstand/file cabinet - can I tell you how proud of myself I am?!?!
6. Honey, the miracle-dog, is still alive and smilin', despite kidney cancer, benign (but humongous) tumors in her leg, colitis, and gosh only knows what eles.
7. I want a doggy so bad I can Taste it (and I'm trying desperately to NOT LOOK AT THIS SITE.)
8. I now attend yoga class (don't tell my mother, she'll send me straight to the Deliverance Ministers to have those Eastern religion demons cast out). I'm now learning to "Lift from the chest!" and "Extend your spine!"
9. I worked as a volunteer caseworker for disaster victims in Louisiana this summer and have now become a self-appointed Katrina Awareness Promoter. (Can I tell you how much it pisses me off that the media spends so little time on Katrina? Or the way people dismiss Katrina victims as stupid and 'deserving' of their plight because they're still not on their feet a year after the storm. - Ummnm, excuse me, have you seen New Orleans??? Have you actually talked to these people??? Because, lemme tell you, it's awful, and it's Not just because people are stupid or bad.)
(Whew, ok, tirade over.)
10. I have actually seen a dog Surfing! Yes, surfing! This was the highlight of my week. I was going for a walk on the beach, I glanced up, and there was a dog, riding a surf board, just as non-challant as you please! It was fabulous, and the funniest thing Ever. The best part is how the dog just stood there, as calm as anything, while all the people trying to surf were struggling and making faces and genearlly looking like they were about to die.
11. I now have a name plate, a mailbox, and a voice mail at the X(name of univiersity) Counseling Center. - People, I am officially a therapist. (Are you scared, or what??)
It's good to be back!
