Well, I've never actually had a blog before...except for back in the days of Livejournal...which only a few people could see anyway. So this is a bit intimidating! A friend actually showed me hers and told me it was theraputic---which is EXACTLY what I could use a bit of right now.
Let's see...I should probably tell you all some things about myself. I am turning twenty-five next week and looking to be an English teacher next year. I work in the "numbers" field of things, which has been real, but...it's time to do something that really makes me truly happy. You spend AT LEAST eight hours a day at work--you should be able to spend those eight hours talking about poetry and Emerson if you want to, right? Somehow I can't picture factoring Brit lit into conversations about interest rates and such, can you?
What else...I am getting married next year. David Bowie's "Changes" has been running through my mind a lot lately. I've lived with my boyfriend for over a year now, and we've been together for over three...but it's still a big deal! I never thought I'd be obsessing over a shade of red...but there ya go. We are getting married at an beautiful old church in our city, and then having our reception at a lodge-y type place on a mountain. I still can't believe it. My friends can attest, I was completely anamored with my fiance before I really even knew him. Love at first sight at its finest!
We live in a nice lil' apartment with the one, the only, Armani the bunny. Seriously, this little guy keeps me smiling no matter what. He may not always like to be held (I think he has about a thirty second time limit before he's bounding out of my arms), but he really is just a fluffy puff of love. Pets really do make all the difference in one's life, don't you think?
Soo...currently I am kind of teetering on the edge of a few big life changes, which hasn't exactly had a positive effect on my nerves. I've had problems sleeping lately, which doesn't make for a great day ahead of that...I'm going to try to snap out of it as best I can...but insomnia really is my version of hell. Usually, the thought of a long night asleep in my cozy bed is about the best thing ever. But lately, because of a few sleepless nights, I DREAD bedtime like a little kid. Which makes it even harder to wind down and fall asleep. It's just a horrible cycle. Has anyone else experienced what I am talking about? What do you do when you can't sleep?
Well I am actually quite excited about finally joining the bloggin world! Hopefully this first one doesn't sound too much like a crazy melancholic rant...there will certainly be more posts to follow-and hopefully not sleepy ones!
Until next time!
