Basically for the last few months of my life this is what I have been up to, since I know you are all dying to know...
- Quit my job. I don't care how much money I was making there, it's not worth it if it's not something I'm really excited about doing. Although, I did like how I was able to pay off my $9000 car in one year because of it. (I plan on having my beautiful Civic, La Toya, for years and years to come, otherwise I would not have spent so much.) But I'd much rather be poor and happy with my job, than rich (not that I was that rich by any means) and doing something that isn't very satisfying. I did it for about four years, and that it is all I could take. I will miss a few things about the job though. Mostly the funny/mean/weird customers and the things they would say. I swear, everyday someone would ask me one of two questions: "What are you, like where are you from?" (I was guessed to be Italian, Hawaiian (?!), Russian, and my very favorite was when one woman asked specifically if I was Transylvanian! Um what OK, that's not obscure at all?!) or customers would stand there and look at me for about five seconds then ask "Is it real" Is what real? Oh my hair, yes it's naturally curly like this. I wouldn't do this to myself.
- Ran in my second marathon with my brother Matt. We didn't get as good of times as we did last year because we both had a lot on our minds, plus we had already done it once so the challenge element was gone. He was moving to Alaska the very next day to spend 3 months fishing on a little boat with just one other guy, and I was moving back to Utah two days later. We both hadn't packed at all.
- Had a really fun/long drive out to Utah with my little brother Mitch and his friend Rugs (his name is actually Nick, but I nicknamed him Ruggles, Rugs for short). We mostly spent the drive talking about how much Rugs was going to freaking love Cafe Rio (he'd never had it, or been to Utah), and listened to the Drake Thank Me Later album like five times. I'm usually not much for rappers, but I freaking love Drake. Mostly because of songs like this one, and this one. He's good, I suggest listening.
-river rafting
-Michelli and Mitch's Wedding
-Modest Mouse concert for FREE. Ya awesome.
-Doing a bunch of stuff to do with Janie's wedding, then the actual wedding day.
-ridiculous amounts of schoolwork and studying (which I should probably be doing now instead of this)
- 7 peaks: I don't care how old I am, that place will never get old.
- hiking at midnight
- running with Kelly. On one occasion we decided to run up into the mountains, and when we got about 3 minutes in we saw the hugest snake ever coiled up right in the middle of our path. We both freaked out a bit, immediately turned around and ran back down the mountain and almost ran right over this guy with literally five dogs coming up the trail. We think the snake was a rattle snake, but we both had our iPods in so we don't know if there was any rattling sounds.
- having a Leo filled weekend: Inception two nights in a row (it's as good as everyone says) and of course my favorites Blood Diamond and The Departed. Oh Leo, what a man. I love him even more.
Anyway, that's a recap of my past few months. If you're still reading, thanks. I know it's just ever so exciting. Stay tuned, in about two months the blogs really will be exciting. And I'm not joking.
I'm in dire need of a new album to be obsessed with. But recently I, with no explanation, just love love this song:
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Home
I love running to this so much, and it makes me want to live in the south and regularly chew on stems of barley. But, I probably won't do that.
