oh for the love of wires!

you know, i read all these blogs about life and decorating and junk and they talk about making your bedroom "sexy" or a place to relax, make it pretty, make it look like something out of a magazine... i tried but I think these "sexy" bedrooms only exist for the people that don't have men living with them or have many other rooms that don't have to be sexy. our bedroom is cramped and jumbled with recording gear and while i had brief frustration with it i realised Matt being happy with the set up is more important that the attempts to have a life in a magazine or blog. and lesson learned! next place we move will have a room just for his junk.

some days...

i feel i have nothing worth telling you about. today is most certainly one of those days, however i am trying to write more often so i will push myself to post and let you into my life just a little more.

well to start I'm highly detail oriented and i supposed that's OCD for most. even the simplest of things i want to look pleasing to my eye.

i always choose design over function... if it were up to me those ugly black office chairs would all be burned.

you can never go wrong wearing black. so much of my wardrobe is black, its classic and timeless and you'll hardly look back and say ugh! why did i wear that?!

i loathe most trends, i don't understand vegans that are unhealthy vegans... seems they are missing the point.

anyways that's enough of my life for today, enjoy your own!

blurrrr

Yes, that is my closet.... scary... so tiny. how will i fit anything in it? my life as of lately has been all about the idea of minimalism and i must say we could all think about it and take a page or two. You become a conscience shopper, a "make things work with what you have" person and i think everyone benefits from it.... except maybe the retail industry.

this week is flying by and I'm starting to get worried i don't have time to do all i need. i was supposed to work until the 14th and start my new job on the 17th which doesn't give me any time to get much done since I'm working sooo much. so the date has been moved forward to leave work. there is just no way i can do all that i need to and work so next week is all about cleaning out my room and donating items and moving into my new place with Matt and getting life set up in a new city.

Ive been asking people how they felt when in a similar situation and all of them have said it was emotionally taxing at times so I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. its all about taking yourself out of your comfort zone and not holding yourself back by fears. I'm told I'm such a social person i should have no troubles making friends and i already know a handful of people so maybe its all rainbows from here on out.... one can hope.

on an interesting note Ive learned I'm very picky when it comes to the purchase of lamps... who knew?

I go into my new job to train this saturday... i hope i enjoy answering phones all day, i cant imagine it to be a fantastic job but bearable would be nice.

The time has arrived!

its time to move, to say good bye, to pack our bags and boxes and learn to use the GPS (that's just for me really) my car was crammed full this morning before i headed to work. today is going to be a hard day to sit through, Matt and i both find ourselves so antsy. of course this will be a process over a two week span which I'm grateful to have, it makes moving less stressful. Also it gives us time to tie up all the lose ends of life, mail, insurance etc.

Forecast is calling for rain all weekend, regardless we cant put this off,. IF.... fingers crossed sunrise Pontiac gmc calls me back I'm sure they will need me to start asap. (pregnant girl is about to pop). I need some sort of income soon.

oh the fun part of growing up.

rocking the boat

If someone were to tell you I wasn't strong willed or opinionated you'd know either A. they have never met me or B. they are lying.
I suppose its a blessing and a curse to have those qualities, I'm sure as our relationship continues Matt will be tested with my stubbornness, yes I have warned the man, I think he is in disbelief... or was until now. The Move is in full swing, no turning back now, no running and screaming from this! Its happening and I wonder who throws in the towel first... the OCD, must have things her way girlfriend or the messy, forgetful boyfriend. I'm putting money on the boy.

Yes I have done this before, I have a few living with boyfriend experiences under my belt so that gives me the advantage over Matt of knowing all the possible tiffs and experiences. However I think this time around will go much smoother. With live in Boyfriend number 1 we didn't work because he was dirty and I was messy and we often argued over chores and He was out all the time and always had all kinds of people over and all times of the night, it was too much of a party for me. Boyfriend live in failure number 2, party boy... should have seen this one miles away... the man boy ( he was a child in a 26 year old's body) had a strict religious mother he lived with and freedom from her meant going wild, out all the time, unreliable to pay his party of the bills, filthy slob and would leave town without notice. nonetheless I deem him worst boyfriend of all time.

ok ok bit of a tangent... well anyways I love Matt tons tons tons more than any of those previous and I see this going smoothly, we've already met a few stressful moments such as the one posed on us now, the hooking up of the utilities.... ugh NIGHTMARE but once we get this taken care of we will be fine, its nothing I know but poor Matt is currently running all over town trying to get everything in order. :) best boyfriend ever.

haha opps..

Hello blog world, I think there is a high speed chase going on, on the interstate right now... But that doesn't matter. I was just sitting here in silence, then I thought.. I haven't posted on Hillary and I's blog lately! I wonder if she has posted since the last time we posted together? Unfortunately, there was no sweet notion forever contained in the form of html. But that's totally fine because now I can be the one to leave a sweet notion for Hillary. :) I love this woman, fully and extremely. She is moving here in the middle of May and I could not be more thrilled! We got a duplex in Midtown that is going to be a phenominal starter home for us. It's close to everything awesome to do in Midtown! The only thing left in this puzzle is finding a job for Hillary. It probably wont be a very easy task, but I just hope that she doesn't get discouraged in the nervous hectic adventure, that is called moving. She has quickly become the world to me. I have never felt just a strong genuine connection with anyone ever in my life, friend or significant other wise. She is perfect for me in so many ways. Our lives and backgrounds are completely paralelled with the same common ground experiences, we often never disagree on anything. I can't believe I got so lucky. Not to mention, she is one sexy fox! Hillary, if you read this.. Just know I love you.

It's almost march!! How exciting, the weather today was wonderful. Although we stayed in bed for hours before making an effort to actually wake up. Hillary is feeling much better now. She is finally showing signs of getting back to her old non-mono ways. :) We went on a bike ride today, it was short lived though, due to a flat tire on the bike Hillary was riding. We also went to the park and enjoyed the sunshine. I hope that tomorrow is just as lovely. Tonight is the Colour Revolt show and trax nachos. YUM. I have a feeling tonight is going to be absolutely wonderful! All things negative, stressful, worrisome or in other words, all things that harsh my mellow, completely subside when I'm with Hillary. This relationship is by far the most incredible and absolutely perfect thing I have ever been a part of. Like Hillary said earlier today, "This all just feels right." I hope that any reader that stumbles across this blog, really finds true love like I have with Hillary. So tonight I leave you with this quote.. "When you are in love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams." -Dr. Seuss
