| You Belong in London |  A
little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a
little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers
everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well. |
i should really get a passport... | | |
| yup, still home. it's only been a few days, but i'm not really sure i
like it just yet. i'll get used to it, the whole process of coming home
was just so sudden, and i'm not sure what to do with it yet. but it
kinda sucks because i feel like i'm right back where i started in june
when i left.
BUT
enough of that. i don't want to be one of those people who is never
satisfied, never happy with what she has or where she is. so i'm going
to try (at least for a little bit) to keep all my angsty bullshit to
myself for a little while and pour out that energy into something
semi-creative. basically i've decided i'm going to put together a mix
tape (which will be a cd, not a tape, but burned cd just doesn't have
the same sentimental effect when you say it outloud) and little cd
insert w/ album art and all that jazz to kind of pool my thoughts
together on this whole experience. i toyed with the idea of making a
christmas mix as an alternative to the typical christmas card, but i
didn't ever get around to it. and then in january i thought of doing it
as a happy new year, or year in review type thing... but again... yeah,
you didn't get that mix in the mail, did ya? well i've decided moving
halfway across the country, semi-struggling with being there, losing my
job and then struggling with the fact that now i'm coming back is the
perfect subject for a mix. most of the work i'm putting into it is
going to be the album art, i'm already pretty proud of it. just thought
you should know where the inspiration is coming from.
so if
you'd like a copy of the mix when i'm done with it, let me know. and if
i don't see you often, give me your address so i can mail it. you can
email me at findblancomeow at gmail dot com.
and even though i'm
struggling with the adjustment, it's nice having friends here that are
glad i'm back, the warm welcome makes the transition a lot easier. and
there is nothing that beats wearing a tank top and driving on the
highway with the windows down in march. another warm welcome that is
helping a lot. next time i see jersey maybe i'll even have a tan. :) | | |
| home. for good. (for now.)
nyc was cool, but it was no garden state. and it was definitely no lone star state.
miss you , jersey.
xoxo

| i am coming home. joel and christine have decided that they no longer
need a nanny (not that they ever really did) and i've basically been
laid off. not fired, there are no hard feelings about it, and they said
they'd give me a good reference if i want to be a nanny again. and all
i have to say about that, is i doubt it. and if i do it will not be a
live-in job.
i have pretty mixed feelings about all of it. i miss home, a lot, but
after a fairly ugly run-in with christine a week or so ago, i was so
angry with her i started packing my bags that night. but i calmed down
and resolved to stay for the rest of the year, ending in july. i've
really just started to finally feel like i'm settling in here, making
friends and maintaining some sort of social life. i'm excited to go
home, but i'm sad to leave. i'm going to miss eliza, she is a cool cool
kid.
