I guess I should apologize for not writing this past week, as many of you know the area had a huge storm and I was one of the unfortunate people who lost power for many days. Then a few hours before I gained power back I became very ill... I am finally feeling decent but it was too late to hit up Otakon for the day (NOW when do I get to wear my little red riding hood costume?!). So far I have heard that it is awesome and that someone pulled a fire alarm and the streets of Baltimore were flooded with 27,000 nerds. Now THAT is a sight that would be been excellent to see.

To earn some spare cash during the year I have gotten a job and the training for this job is a lot more extensive than I thought... tomorrow I have to spend the day making a fake but ridiculously detailed lesson plan *joy* but hopefully I will be well prepared for the fall.







Love, Always!

Motorcycles

Squeeeee. I have been looking into motorcycles and classes more seriously and I am getting very excited.

This past weekend my father and I went out and looked at various bikes and they are just the coolest things. I cannot wait to take the course this October and get my M certification. PLUS soon after that I will be 21 and need to get a new licence anyway. This will hopefully be a wonderful and big year. I also plan to go to my first lesbian bar soon after my birthday. But that is beside the point. The point is that I am working on going through the correct channels to get to having a motorcycle! I have a friend who has a 2003 Suzuki GZ250 with very low mileage and I am thinking of buying it off of her. It isn't too big or too much to handle and should be a great starter bike. I have trouble with some bikes because of my short torso... it isn't an issue reaching the peddles (oh honey, I've got legs), but my body is pretty much legs, breasts, and head and not much else so I have to reach for the handle bars... not something I want to be struggling with while riding on a big road.

So there, I may be adding a new title to my already long list of stereotypes...

Love Always


PS Sorry if this one was quite a bit rambling... I'll spend more time on my next update and actually come up with what I want to write before I take to the page.

Running Late

These days I have been almost consistently late to every event/workday/dinner, etc that I try to get to. Even if I plan ahead to get there on time, I seem to manage to be at least a few minutes late. I am really not sure what it is anymore either... I wonder if it is my messed up sleep schedule, my lack of attention span, or if it is some deeper meaning. Maybe I just don't ever want to go to these things... but that is total bull because I totally DO. I have been trying to work at being on time pretty much my whole life and it is always something that I battle against.

So I am wondering... is this a habit? And if so, how does one break a bad habit? I have never considered myself to have an addictive personality (meaning I do not becoming easily attached to substances, etc), but is being late an addiction?

Starting Wednesday I am going to leave even earlier for work to see if that helps, but I am not sure that will solve the root of my problem.
