Since I am starting a new chapter in my life, I thought it would be better to start a new blog. My Deadjournal account is too much angst and emo shit; my Livejournal account is just fodder. I could easily make a new account on LJ (DJ needs some stupid code), but just the name "Livejournal" brings back memories and drama from long ago, so I think that Blogger would be a nice place to start. Plus, many of the photo blogs I visit on occasion use Blogger. Eventually, I'll put up a link list of the blogs I visit to get my daily drool of hot, delicious men.
At the moment, I'm unemployed. I just got so tired of retail and the stress it incurred on my life. But now I have a new stress! Money. Where am I going to get money now? I can't live off my parents because they're already short on money. I'm not going to go back into retail. I don't know how I'd handle waiting tables. It's something I would like to do, but if I don't like it, there's another job I quit. I've thought about bartending, but I'm positive my parents are against it. They're basically against alcohol, even though I go out drinking once in a while.
Well, the start of a new life calls for a bit of work. Work to get back into my old clothes because I feel bad that I've spent so much money on clothes that don't fit anymore. My goal is to fit into size 32 waist size and into a small sized shirts. At the moment, I'm borderlining into 36 and large. I'm watching my diet and I'm not eating until I get what some people call the "food coma." I eat to satisfy the hunger. I'm slowly but surely getting exercise in. I jogged a little bit this early afternoon because the dog was antsy about going outside. We bought her a lifejacket to wear when we go camping and I fit it on her this morning and also her pink harness, so she got the idea that she was going for a walk. It was nice to go out running. My legs hurt a bit while I was running, but I think I need better shoes.
The political scene sure is heating up with the incoming season of summer. I haven't really been following it as closely as I should. At this point, whoever becomes the Democratic candidate for president, I'll vote for him/her. I'm certainly not going to go with McCain. I should probably have reasons why, but I'm just going to vote Democratic for this year.
Traveling abroad sure can change a person. Just recently I went to Europe with my sister. We have a brother working over in Germany for some chemical company called BASF. We spent four days in Paris and three days in Mannheim, Germany; we spent a day and night each in Basel and Zurich Switzerland. Paris was just absolutely amazing! May was the perfect month to go. It wasn't too hot nor too cold and I'm very picky about my outside temperatures. The atmosphere is Paris was laid back. All the people weren't worried about the past or the future. They took in the present: the food, the people, the environment. I wish I could live in Paris or bring Paris back to the States. Germany was not what I expected. My brother had to work a few days so we stayed at his place in Mannheim. There was shopping, but I didn't see much that I wanted. It was either that or I could get it back in the States. My sister and I took a trip to Heidelburg, Germany, to shop there and see a castle. The castle, albeit in ruins, was gorgeous. We wished we could've stayed longer, but we took the wrong exit and wound up back in the shopping area. To our defense, it was starting to drizzle so we wanted to find shelter. In Basel and Zurich, Switzerland, we did the same thing. We walked around and took in the cities. We went shopping for a bit and ate such delicious food (not just in Switzerland, but in France and Germany, too). I really like Switzerland. My first time out of the US was studying in southern Switzerland. Good times. I will most definitely be going back in this lifetime! I was sad and happy that our trip abroad ended. I was sad because I just wanted to stay there; I was happy because I would get to sleep in my own, cozy bed and also get back to my family!
Once all this stupid pollen subsides, it's going to be a great summer!
