Wow, it's been far too long since I've posted. Time for some updates. So much has happened in such a short amount of time, and I feel like a vastly different person than I was even a month ago. I'm probably not...it's amazing what powerful things feelings can be.

We've recently been through a family emergency that has definitely given me a new appreciation for my family. Despite stress and frustration and conflict, I do love my family...and where I am. Yes, I'm admitting that. I may not do it often, but I do own up to it once in a while.

My Grandmother and Aunt were here visiting for a while, which was really great. I enjoy both of them so much, and having them in my life growing up definitely affected the person I've become. Probably the two most influential people affecting who I am today are my Mother and Grandmother. Of course there are dozens of other people and events, but I cannot convey how thankful I am to those two people for being honest and helping me become this crazy mixed up person.

The day after my Grandmother left, my best friend Fluff came to visit from Arkansas. We had the most amazing time, it's really unexplainable how epically wonderful the visit was. I'm so glad she came because I needed the distraction from reality. Lots of riding around like hoodl'ems with the sunroof open and campy rap music blasting through the car speakers. Died our hair red, and had a wonderful photoshoot to add to my portfolio.

Speaking of, I expect elusive-photography.com to be up and functional within the next few weeks. (God willing.) I'll need something to distract myself anyway. Just when you feel like you're moving on, something drags you back to the reality of something hurtful and it hurts all over again. *shrug* C'est la vie.

I've recently gotten a job a sales floor associate at our local Super Target store. I'm actually really excited about this opportunity, and can't wait to start my "real" day of work on Monday. (Although I've already had paid orientation.) There was a bit of a mix-up as to what day I was supposed to start work, but fortunately it's all cleared up. I'm hoping it will be an opportunity to expand my social skills beyond the internet, and potentially meet friends and clients.

Lyrical hip hop dance is something that has recently piqued my interest, not sure how to get into it, but I'd definitely like to try. Could be fun.

Overall, it's been an eventful and tumultuous few weeks...and I'm glad their over. Now it's time to just continue looking forward rather than backward. Lots of exciting new opportunities, and I welcome any distraction that prevents me from thinking about emotional things.

Definitely looking forward to a comedy writing workshop that I'm going to on Tuesday.

Well...time to run - going to go watch "Be Kind Rewind"...which I'm sure you'll get a full review of.

More later,
