Me, Myself, and I

I've finally settled into my apartment, and in my job actually. Well, for now. I guess as soon as I move onto the floor, I can say that I'm REALY settled. That will be in two weeks. I already got my new schedule, so that's good. Today while watching Sex and the City on DVD, I realized as I sat and looked around my apartment, that I'm the only one here. I've been the only one here for days. Life has been very different since I moved out my house. Since I left, my younger sister has moved to VA and my twin is still home. I didn't realize how much company they were to me, until a few days ago. I haven't told anyone, but I've been feeling very lonely lately. So lonely that I've been cleaning when I get off from work, running errands, and keeping busy by myself. I love being independent, don't get me wrong, but I'm also a people person. I love being surrounded by people and it's been very different not being able to do that in my free time. I guess that's why I've been inviting so many people to come hang out or over for dinner. But I'm in the real world now, and this is what life is all about. I think I'm adapting pretty well so far, don't you think?

Random

For some reason today, I was thinking about the R.Kelly scandal and how he should be locked up. Ha ha! I know! I know! This is VERY random! Well, I remember how the 14-year-old girl he had sex with was the niece of R&B singer Sparkle, who was close friends with Kelly. It's just crazy to me that the girl's parents didn't want to do anything about it... and Sparkle risked her career in order to do what was right by outing this freak of his wrongdoings. She gets a thumbs up in my book. Unfortunately, his behind isn't even in jail. What a shame, but I'm not suprised.

So what else did I think about today? Hmmm, work really. It was great! Sometimes I keep to myself often, because everyone else has pretty much formed their own little cliques by the things they've got in common, but it's cool. I've got time to study and read over everything so I'll know what I'm doing. All the girls are nice though, so that's great. I did meet more people who actually work on the floor and they are very friendly and fun to be around. Can't wait until I get out there.

Hopefully, I can find something to do this weekend. Depending on the weather, I may go out to the Riverfront and write. Maybe even check to see if the LSU art museam is open. That would be fun to browse around for a while. Sounds like a good time to me. I do know for sure that I want to head over to Blockbuster and rent a movie. I've been wanting to see Jarhead for a while now, so I'm either going to buy it or go rent it when I get back from the bank. Either way, I'm going to watch some kind of movie.

In other news... I'm thinking of buying a new car within the next six months. Not brand new off the lot, but something that's new and used. It's going to be either a Honda, Toyota, or maybe even Mazda. I should talk to my brother since he and his friends work on cars all the time and race on their days off or on weekends. Well, I'm tired. Later!

Home

Hey you guys, I left something for you to read. Nothing too personal, since I'm keeping a lot of personal things to myself. Random things I think about from time to time and experiences are really what I'll be writing, since I love it and find it to be very therapeutic. If any of you REALLY know me, then you know that I like to write. A LOT.

Relocating to Baton Rouge has been AWESOME! I really like this city. My job gets better by the day, and I'm sure as soon as I make it out to the floor, it will get even better. I've met a lot of nice people, so that's cool. I'm doing great though, coming into my own. I did have my one stumbling block though. Thanks to my best friend, I don't know if I would've ever come out of it. As hard as things may seem, we must all remember that we shouldn't give up on people, or say you can't deal with them, when you haven't tried. Meaning talking about things that may go wrong, understand one another, and find a solution. It is a very painful feeling when someone turns their back on you, gives up and just doesn't want to deal with you. Since I don't like it, I really don't want to do the same to someone else. It isn't me. I've got a very big heart. I'm learning to cope, so I'll be fine as long as I don't get hurt over and over again. Other than that, life is great!

I find myself interacting with people that I don't have much in common with. The women in my training group are all great, but are either married, pregnant, or seriously involved with someone. That doesn't bother me though at all like it used to. I just listen mostly, since that's what the main conversations tend to be about... until I start on my celeb gossip and television shows I'm obsessed with. Ha ha! So I don't have much of a life at the moment. That'll change, I'm sure, when my friends realize I'm settled in and ask me to hang out with them.

I think I'm going to spend the weekend finding things to do around BTR and have a good time. Sunday I went with my best friend/roomie/sister around the lakefront. It's really cool out there! Since I'm pretty creative, I can come up with many ways to utilize that place. I may go sit out there and write one day soon. Maybe even pick up on my art work again. Who knows. Well, I better get going, I've got Law and Order: SVU to get ready for. Oh, I may wake up early and go for a run... or maybe not. Nah, I'll just stick to working out after I get home from work. Speaking of home, the song Home by Zero 7 keeps playing my head. I love that group. Guess I'll go chill and listen to them on my iPod. Life is great and I'm very happy making discoveries and all that fun stuff on my own! Wow, I feel all grown up, ha ha!
