Decided to go to law school last year. Two more years left, then my second degree goal is complete!
My school’s spring break and WMC don’t coincide this year :(
Looks like it will be a couple of years before I get to WMC.
2k bill smashed. Now down to 4k in credit card debt. Hard to do when I’m in school, but I’m going to do this!
Moving to another city to go to law school. Does that count? Not only will I be living there for a month, but for three years. Since I have been in my hometown my entire life it will be nice to experience something different.
I haven’t made “better friends” per se. However I have weeded out the people who drained me, and only the good ones remain. Is it bad that I’m looking for more? Is it ok I want those people I can try new things with, or a scene from one of those weird girlfriend movies?
I don’t know but I’m going to find out.
Thousands of dollars later, down to two: a 2K bill and a 4K bill. I plan on paying off the 2K by July. The 4K will be slow going but better slow than not.
A few months ago I started the weekday vegetarian plan. I was set on following the regimen; go vegetarian M-F, eat meat Saturday and Sunday.
Well on the weekends I forgot. I pretty much forgot to eat meat and ended up being vegetarian the whole time.
Then one day I decided to have some hot wings and got violently ill. Then another day I was at a friend’s dinner party and ill after eating a bunch of chicken. My stomach can only handle meat in small amounts, which is fine. I don’t need to eat meat that much which was the original goal.
One of my NYE resolutions this year was to eat way less meat. While I am not interested in being vegetarian (no one will ever take my pork hum bao away from me!) I for sure need to focus more on vegetables and grains being a bigger majority of my diet. I am very much interested in bringing down the amount of energy it takes to sustain my life as well as help myself along in some serious lifestyle changes.
A friend of mine sent me a URL to a TED talk about being a weekday vegetarian. After I watched the video I decided that’s what I want to do.

I’m agreeing to the following:
- Eat vegetarian M-F and most Friday nights
- If I am at a party / special occasion and someone offers me a meat dish I will allow myself to eat it.
So far I don’t really miss meat at all during the weekday. I am looking forward to the culinary challenges!
Thankfully I do have a lot of great friends who are in my life. However I have a lot of shitty ones that need to go. Friends that claim they are too busy to talk or hang out but whose faces are all over club photo albums the next morning. Friends who can’t help me out even a little bit, friends who are damaged goods and don’t want to repair it.
The electronic music scene, unfortunately, is full of these fakes. People who claim I’m part of the “homies” but have never even been to my house or could even name what I like to do in my spare time. Lately I have been taking the time to distance myself from that and meet a much different set of people. On top of that, I plan on strengthening the GOOD friendships I do have.
I know I’m doing it right because the calls to go out to the latest club event have stopped. Instead I get the calls to meet my friends’ moms, dads, brothers, families, go to dinner, take trips, etc. You know, normal shit.
Now due to a lot of politics, Winter Music Conference and Ultra are on two different weekends. I would love to attend the conferences but however I would like to check out Ultra. Should I go to WMC and go to the smaller parties that weekend or attend Ultra? Choices!
...didn’t put them on CD because CDs are little archaic thingamabobs! I cringe everytime I get a CD from someone so why would I give out CDs myself?

Too many stories. Emotional and physical abuse from mom. Mom was being abused by dad so she took me and my brother and ran away. My dad protected me from her and now he wasn’t there and didn’t seem to care to be. Lots of hardships in between and ending most recently with a boyfriend who broke up with me because I was “too fat,” despite being the same size when he broke up with me as when he so doggedly pursued me. Trying to figure out where I want to go, how I’m going to do it, burned out on working towards it, get lonely sometimes. Gotta deal. That’s the short version.
Not really sure how to go about this goal due to the fact I’m really not sure what I want.
I used to think I wanted a boyfriend but I got so burned out with drama and having my heart broken (especially the last one) that I’m not sure if I want to try that again, at least for a while.
I have had casual sex relationships in the past. They were ok. Not rad but not terrible.
The last time I had sex was July 31. Really. I had a fling that day that was great but then afterwards just…don’t know. Was bored with chasing it? So I quit.
Earlier this year I had a boyfriend. I thought the celibacy thing would be over but then he turned out to have ed and couldn’t have sex. He lied to me about it and let me think it was me. I talked to his ex-girlfriend who revealed to me that he had ed and couldn’t have sex at all.
Ugh right? Don’t really know how to go about this!
Scored a one year contract at a local company! YAY!
I’m exciting to have a full time job for a great employer!
Was hard to go so long looking for work but just kept updating my resumes online and kept on keepin on! Not sure when I start but hopefully soon!
...just likely time consuming.
I took a silkscreening class at Vera Project, a local non-profit designed to keep youth in the arts (music and visual). The class wasn’t hands on—the most I got to do was ink a design onto paper. However it was extremely informative so I’m excited to take the next step of silkscreening a shirt or two.
