coming together.

everything has been pretty brilliant, and has been coming together.

in a few days, internet and cable will finally be hooked up in my apartment. for a month, we've been living without internet, minus the small bit we get in one room when our neighbors are home, and without TV. Its not hard, but frustrating when you need to research for school, or check your email to find out class has been canceled. I'll prolly be online a tad more often.

other things are coming together also, interesting or not. Our kitchen is the cutest, we finally have a quaint little table and chairs, placemats, flowered silverwear, funky plates, and odd kitchen gadgets.

our living room is a disaster, only because we have nothing for it still. But, with rent due in a few days, I believe we will be buying couches and such within the week. Its pretty pathetic looking to be honest, clean, but dull.

I painted my room blood red, bright red. My sheets are golden satin, and my bedspread is red, orange, yellow, purple, magenta, etc- all the hues and colors of the red palet. There is a small desk and my closet is organized. I'm getting a dresser in the next few days so that my clothes won't be on the floor forever.

I am so thrilled with this apartment.

My boyfriend comes over often, which is great. Mostly because it was a lot more difficult to get together or even talk over the summer. I mean, once we started going on dates we made time to actually go on the next, and after we made it more official, we worked around eachothers schedule happily. We spend a lot of time together, even if its weird time. He usually comes over after work, four, five, six, one time seven in the morning. So most of our time consists of sleepovers and a smooch before one of us runs to class. But we make the time count, even if we are sleeping. I don't mind having someone to snuggle with anyways, even if its only a few hours. Things are good, I think its safe to say. Its been a week long sleepover, going on two.


Life is good, busy but great. Wish i had more time to see my friends, I go to work, class, sleep, and sometimes go out. Its harder to go out and do things when i know I have a house to take care of too. I'm hoping as i get more situated, I will be able to see more friends more often.





yeah, the end.

hey real quick.

i am going to make this very brief for two reasons, one because I have a lot of shit do today that can not be wasted on online blogging, and two because I am borrowing my housemates laptop since mine is no longer recently alive.

but i wanted to take these five minutes to stop and appreciate how good things are for the moment. everyone is so quick to complain, myself included, so for a change I am going to do the opposite. I've just moved out, its been a week. I have a lovely duplex home/apartment type place to live with three other fantastic girls. Its a ten minute drive to school and a five minute drive (i can even walk!) to work. Its reasonably priced as well. We all have our own rooms. We have almost a brand new kitchen. We have a balcony of the living room. We have painters coming in today to give it a fresh coat, and carpet cleaners already took care of the floors. We are all in love with our new little place. I am very content with living here, and not at school, or even driving from home. My room faces the street. A quiet and charming montclair street, I wake up to kids walking to school, a train rolling in a block away, and the sound of airplanes. I think at this point anyone who knows me understands how much i love airplanes. I am so happy and thrilled to be moved out, and feel more accomplished that even though it will be hard, I am paying for everything on my own.

the second great thing going on in my life, is that i have come to terms with a lot of my friendships. Such as, I have learned how to let go of trying to be friends with people who clearly have no mutual interest. Maybe, they will come around. But I've been calling, texting, visiting, attempting to visit, inviting, etc manyy manyy people out these past two-three weeks trying to express my love and interest in these friendships. I have found that maybe, they will come around. But in the mean time I am lucky to have multiple other good friendships that have been taking of my time and lonely fears. Lunch dates. evening romps, mini shopping sprees, ikea visits,  town romps, walks, drinking nights, etc. I am so happy and fortunate to have everyone in my life, regardless of how often or little I see them.

and lastly, which may be the least talked about topic in my life, for fear of jinxing it, I have a boy in my life these days. Which is brilliant in multiple ways, but to save myself from sounding like a cheese ball or some repetitive romance novel, I will spare details. Basically, we both agree that we have almost effortless chemistry, and I can't say its ever been so good before. And just to throw out how great he is, this boy got home from work at six in the morning, woke up at eleven, and drove to my home town all the way from Fort Lee to help me move out.







anyways, happy days. Today, I am going to Ikea for a new room, home depot for paint, and whole foods for yummy vegetarian goodness.
