I’ve been feeling a lot better since i realized that i was MISERABLE before christmas with the life i have scrapped together here in WA.

I am in a new city and i won’t be here all that long so laying down roots seemed like a bit of a farce until i realized that that’s what makes getting up and getting things done FUN and WORTHWHILE!

I have been taking a backseat in my own life and its time to stop that already.

I’m fabulous and fun and openminded and positive in my own unruly kind of way and i love me.
Why shouldn’t other people get to know and love me too while i’m here, and why wouldn’t they want to know someone fantastic that they could maybe visit and befriend all over again sometime down the road ahead!?

So yeah, i’m done going along for the ride.
I’m already planning things for the next few months, i’m actively doing more volunteer work, and am really excited for the upcoming week.
I’ve joined a book club and a french converstation group and i’m hoping to spend some time actively doing stuff (instead of just actively spending time if you know what i mean…?) with the people in my program. They are good people and varied and interesting!

I’m going to be ‘landing’ all over again in a new city when this year is over and i’d be even better off if i knew that HECK YEAH i can make friends in a new place and have a good time that doesn’t involve eating alone in restaurants just to get out of the house!
(or going on dates which i’ve been putting far too much stake in lately too..) I’ve never been happier (aside from the miserable wallowing in my lonliness part) and being single is a big part of that… i’m not responsible for anyone elses feelings or neuroses and i’m at a point in my life where the only person i have to answer to is my own self.. my inner jiminie cricket, my inner hunter s. thompson, and my inner louise bourgeouise!

Here’s to 2009 and being in my mid-late 20’s!!!!!
