My shirt says "Real Captain's Have Mustaches" & that makes me happy. I'm not really the blogging type but I want to be. I'm not really the poetry type either but I'm attempting to do that too. I have a Poem Pal, much like a pen pal but instead of writing letters filled with day to day ramblings we're going to write each other poems instead. He's already done his part, now it's my turn. I haven't written a poem since I was in high school & it seems that once I walked out of those doors I forgot everything that i'd learned during my time there. I even went so far as to Google "Poetry For Dummies".. I know it's not going to be the most difficult thing ever, I just have to work at it. I told my Poem Pal that i'd have it on it's way by tomorrow. I intend to do so.
The saying is "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" I know that it's a baseball reference but to me it applies to the whole dating game. A game that I have managed to avoid. This game of avoidance is getting rather lonely though. I let the fear of rejection & fear of abandonment keep me from getting out there & meeting people. I need to change that. I'm not necessarily looking to jump into a relationship but I want to feel special. I want all of that romantic-girly-butterflies-weak-knees stuff.. In order to get that I have to take a step outside of my comfort zone..
At my current job I am constantly surrounded my guys & the majority of our clientèle is male. It's a definite change of pace from my last job where I was constantly surrounded only by women. The only men that ever came in were either husbands or sons & most of the sons were creepy. I enjoy this job more because of the lack of women. There are only 2 other girls on staff & neither of them work as often as I do. I like this especially because when you get a group of women together for an extended amount of time the claws come out. I sure don't miss the cattiness! At the same time, you can't talk to guys about the same things that you can talk to girls about. Lately, my friend C & I have been having girls nights. Nothing fancy, just a relaxing night in. A change to dish about the good stuff & vent about the bad. It's nice have that.
I recently went to the dentist, I should add that it was the first time that I had gone in at least four years. Turns out, neglecting the dentist is a pricey mistake. Although I love my job, it's retail. Retail is retail is retail. No benefits in sight. If I didn't have my parents to help me out in times like this I really don't know what I would do. It really upset me, realizing that my job isn't going to get me anywhere. I mean, logically I knew it. I just hadn't taken a moment in the last couple months that I've had this job to actually think about it. It's also time for change in that regard, I need to go back to school. I have an idea of what I want to do, it's just about putting all the pieces together.
As of December 1, 2010 I am supposed to be moved out of my parents house. I live just over an hour away from my work. Well, if I drove it would be about 25 minutes. Since I rely on transit, things are a bit more difficult. Moving closer to work, is the smart thing to do. That's just a clever excuse. I've always wanted to live closer to the action. The action in this case is Vancouver. Instead of being two buses away from a skytrain I am hoping to be within walking distance of a skytrain. Hoping, hoping. There are still a lot of things to work out & money to be saved but I think we'll be able to do it. :)
I blogged. Mission, accomplished.
