I am back from Chicago! I had an awesome time! I am glad I was there a whole week, there was so much to see! Joey and I had a wonderful time and we celebrated our 3 year anniversary! It was super romantic and I just had such a blast! I am bummed to be home, actually...
In other news, I have finished my own pair of fingerless gloves! They are delicious and aqua, my favorite color of all time! I am very happy with them!
Some knitting projects I have lined up:
~ Headband for Rusty
~ Headband for Tasha
~ Beanie for Joey
~ Fingerless gloves for Julian
~ 2 headbands to sell
~ Finish Heather's strap
PHEW! And school is a very short distance away! I can't believe I start on August 23rd! Freaking nuts! Speaking of...I also found out that I am sort of getting screwed in tutoring hours. There was a mix up and miscommunication and now my hours were given to someone else. I am really upset about it, mostly because it was going to be my main source of income. I am getting a huge raise this semester and I wasn't planning on spending most of my working hours at the pizza place. I love tutoring so much and it also breaks my heart that I wont be around the students as much as I would like to be. Definitely a huge downer on my day.
In other news, I am now the only female delivery driver at Gio's! My car is slowly dying on me so I am hoping that the boss with get a company car. But delivery drivers make a lot better money in tips, so I can't complain. ;)
I've noticed that the theme this summer is "Leaving You In The Dark." There are just too many people (including myself) who have been victims of this terrible tragedy. It's silly, really. Someone wont respond to anything you send them but will talk to your boyfriend like its totally okay. Being fake. Then blocking me? What?! I have absolutely no idea why, but if that certain person is going to stoop to such a level, then why am I complaining about losing them in the first place? I guess they are a super-coward!
Anyway, it felt good to vent. That will be all for now.
P.S. TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THE OFFICE. I. JUST. CAN'T. STOP!

One in a Million
Today is one of those days where I hate everybody*.
*Everybody meaning despite a handful of friends and family who don't disappoint.
I have finally realized how the term "one in a million" pertains to my friends (I know...sooooo naive). And now I get why I am so cynical when it comes to trying to make friends. I have very few who actually pull through and the others are too selfish and lack common courtesy to waste my time with them.
Instead of complaining, I am just lucky I have those handful of people. The flakey ones make me realize how lucky I am to have them. I'd take 1 good friend than 100 acquaintances.
Here's some quotes I felt relate-able today:
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
~ Walter Winchell

Pleasant 4th of July!
Today had been an odd day. I enjoyed a BBQ at a friend of a friend's but left around 4 or 5. Nothing else to do, no idea where the Fireworks would be and didn't really care because the crowds would have been ridiculous anyway. I figured I would stay home, read my book and make some Fireworks of my own.
I had been reading for a few hours when I heard this BANG! BANG! BANG! It was alarmingly close to my building but I couldn't see anything. I snagged a jacket and went to investigate. I saw people pouring out of the different buildings in my complex sporting blankets as jackets. They were all heading in the same direction: the West Campus field. It is HUGE!
When I got there, there were many people either in clusters of families or cuddling in couples. There was still plenty of room for more people. Everyone had their own bubble around them. One group was blasting music from a radio.
I settled on a good spot and was pleasantly surprised to find our very own Fireworks show sprouting from Gershing Park; less than a mile away. I had the music to listen to and the show was great! It was perfectly long and the finale was compatible to that of Tahoe's famous. I thought to myself, "Despite the rocky day, I got my Fireworks after all..."
I sat alone, but really enjoyed the show. It's amazing how after 21 years of seeing Fireworks, I can still almost be brought to tears. Fireworks are timeless and simple and they bring people together for a ridiculous purpose. But hey, it's awesome!
I had a great time, but don't get me wrong. The loneliness has set in. No one to watch the Fireworks with and no phone call either. I know I need to make some friends, but I can't help but feel forgotten sometimes...
I hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July. I am off to finish my book and possibly knit. Goodnight!
P.S. My Facebook has been reincarnated!
