If It Walks Like A Duck

Wow.  I have a lot to blog about.  I hope I can concise as much as possible.  Basically, life has been busy for me.  Columbia was amazing, to say the least.  The open house drew a crowd of over 8,000 people!  The theatre in which they made their introduction is one of the finest in the country.  The school is the school I never thought existed.  I want to be a writer, and I see myself prospering so much there.  Plus, I love the city life, and I know I will do anything to get there.  Hopefully I will be living in Chicago and going to Columbia next fall!

Work has been hectic, but oddly fun.  I worked three nights in a row this week: (Wednesday: 5-9:30, Thursday 3-10, and Friday 3-12.  I was supposed to work Saturday morning at eleven fifteen, but I got someone else to cover for me.  I got a haircut this morning and I haven’t had it this short in ages!  I like it, and I hope other people will (at school), too.

I’m going to have to tell my bosses that I can only work a maximum of ten hours per week, because I can’t juggle everything anymore.  I don’t even have time to work on my recovery, and I don’t wanna relapse ever; on November 27th I will have been clean from alcohol/drugs for a year and a half.

I’m excited for New Moon.  I work this Thursday 2:45-9:45, and we are going to be showing Twilight at 9, for all of the crazy fans who will be waiting outside.  And people have to pay for both movies, and the crazy thing is most of them will.  I’m not sure whether or not I wanna go to the midnight showing, because of the fact that I have school on Friday.  I need to figure out soon and buy a ticket.  We’ve already sold out four theatres, and are working on getting a fifth copy of the film.

I went to a meeting with my sponsor, and I was really glad I did.  My older brother, who goes to Illinois State, came home for my younger brother’s play West Side Story, and so did his girlfriend Cassie, whom I love very much.  My mother, older brother, and I went and saw Men Who Stare At Goats.  Ewan McGregor and George Clooney are both very sexy.  It was hilarious, as well.

Tomorrow, I have to work on my novel, which I’m slacking on hardcore, go to the musical, and then complete an essay, math homework, and a ton of psychology reading.  Anyhow, life is great, and I hope to find more time, hopefully after NaNoWriMo is over, to make more graphics.

Michael has called three times since I last blogged.  Last weekend and then today.  He left a voice mail and summarized who he was, and told me to give him a call.  I’m not sure if I ought to.  But, hey, I might as well see what happens, right?

NaNoWriMo and Triple-C

And I’m sorry that it shows, but life ain’t so bad, you know.
“Skies So Blue” by The Rocket Summer

So, I’ve been having a good life lately.  As for that shitty ex-boyfriend of mine, I found out that he cheated on me twice, with two people.  Even though he swore he never did when I asked him about it.  Well, he already has another boyfriend, because he’s pathetic and can’t be alone.  I, however, am fine being alone, and do not want a rebound.  I am better off now than I’ve been since before I met him!

If I could, I would take it all back.  I would not have given my virginity to such a shitty, awful person who only used me for sex and anything else he wanted.  I haven’t talked to him in over a month, and haven’t seen him in almost two.  And that’s a good thing.  I’d be happier if I never saw him again.

Right now, I’m at Starbucks.  I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year, and I’m having so much fun so far!  I’m getting ready to go to Columbia up in Chicago.  I’m so excited to take the train, to stay overnight in a hotel, and to go to the campus tomorrow morning!

I just met a boy named Michael.  He is the same age as I am, and he’s been clean (from drugs and alcohol) for a year and three months.  He asked for my number, and two cigarettes, and we had a chat.  He’s really cool.  I gave him a ride back to his house, and he wants to hang out.  I’m not sure if he knows that I’m gay or not.  So, we’ll see how that all plays out…

I’ll let you know how my trip to Chicago goes!  School is going well.  I’m getting amazing grades, and I’m loving it.  I study and do a lot of work, so I’ve earned it.  Life is so good these days, it’s strange.  I hardly think of him anymore, and I don’t really cry much anymore.  I’m so happy, I have butterflies.
