Wrap up of the year of the Earth Rat

I have been checking the internet a lot about chinese astrology. There is a part of me that just likes astrology and really really wants it to be true. The rest and biggest part of me knows that there is nothing substantial there. Just so everyone knows, the year of the Earth Ox will be starting January 26th. I seem to remember that the recommended course is to be patient and steady like an Ox!

I got to say that the year of the Earth Rat was very interesting. I'm especially liking the end of it. I'm getting comfortable at home. Unpacking a lot of my stuff except for the kitchen gear. I have lots of time to unpack and practice my bass for the next week and a bit. I got a job! I have decided to stick with it for a while so I'm not worrying about getting a second job. What is it?

The Hilton is opening a new hotel at teh 101 and 202. I went to the job fair where I waited two hours to get interviewed. It turned out to be worth it because I got the job. I am a server/hostess/banquet server. It is in the AM so I have to be at work by 6am or 6:30am. Not looking forward to that but I will be done with my day by noon.

This will give me plenty of time to do other things. I have decided that most of those things will be creative ventures. I have been practicing my bass daily Cough for two days, but hope that to continue. I wrote half of a short story while waiting in a public health clinic. I'm actually achieving my dream of writing. I never considered it a dream but it has been floating around in the back of my head for a long time. I always thought I was never good enough and I knew I could not take criticism well. I then realized "Fuck it". I will write these stories for myself and I have toughened up. (I hope) So... I'm trying to sign up for a Creative Writing course. The problem being that my Eng 105 ( a honor course at ASU) which counted for Eng 101/102 at ASU only counts at Eng 101 at MCC. I would have to take Eng 102 if the teacher does not approve. I believe I have enough writing experience from my whole five years to count. I really hope so because I do not know if I would take Eng 102 again.

It is unbelievable that I have been back a month. I'm adjusting back. I have not seen some of you which is sad. I hope that is corrected in the future. I plan on sharing the stories that I did not have time to write while traveling, later, here in this blog. I will also be posting my stories so look forward to that. This year will be a re-grouping year. Last year was a healing OMG this will never end - transformation year. This year I want to clean some stuff out - literally and figuratively. I practice my bass and wash the dishes everyday. I'm starting to work out regularly. I need to go through my email accounts and delete like mad. I have unpacked most of my boxes so I'm starting to feel more settled. I want to live elsewhere. I enjoy living with my parents but Chandler is just a bit out of the loop. I'm looking forward to new skills: the writing, cooking (I have mostly gone vegetarian), and becoming a GM. I also desire to write here much more.

Final thought
I'm addicted to Facebook games at this time.

Sick and Resume time

I have been sick this whole weekend and decided I would share it with the world. I started to feel a tickle in my thoart when playing games with Grumpator and Chris, but did not worry about it. Every morning I have been waking up to snort green mucus out of my nose. I know, what a pleasant image.

I did eat soup and rest some what but not really. I did a small workout that was mostly setting up machines. The next day, I watched the Cardinals game at Christian's house with Mike and Christian. Christian was really sweet and made me soup with some garlic bread. I then went to two different parties. One was in Apache Junction where I learned that the world is small. I ran into this guy I had meet through my ex who knew his ex back in the day when we were all not ex's. His roommate worked with this 21 year old who was having the birthday party. And the birthday boy's father lived next door to LuAnne and Christian.

I then went to Giorgos's party where I had a blast. I was not expecting to have a blast but it was fun. I got a chance to play Rayman's Raving Rabbids:TV Party which I love. It is where I fell in love with this song called "Acceptable in the 80's". I also talked to a guy who had recently got out of a bad relationship. He was so different. He was more talkative, confident, and all around fun. I have know this guy for years and it showed me the power that bad relationships have on a person. This got me looking at my own bad relationship and see just how much I struggled to stay positive which I could not do. Will try to be aware of how my future relationships affect me without being paranoid.

Yesterday I got my hair trimmed (it is hard to notice a difference) because I have decided to stick with longer hair for a while. Then I went to a different gathering that was cozy but not amazing fun. That is fine because it was nice to just chill on the couch with some friends.

The problem is that my sleep schedule is getting more and more off. I feel good at night so play video games or read later and later. I started at midnight, then one, then two, and lastly four in the morning. This equeals me getting up later and later. This has probably not helped me getting better. Today I will work on the resume and not push myself. This is a good time because I found some job openings that need a resume. Apparently CPA's still help so I will go back to my clerical roots.

Oh, I also had an interview with a Pizza joint called Spinato. It was actually the company that I had the best vibe for a place where I would want to work. The prices looked reasonable and the food descriptions looked good. But seriously that is a job of a menu so I would like to try the food even if I do not get the job. I think I interviewed alright. I got a good vibe afterwards but sometimes that is wrong, and the competition is fierce these days. The address is Spinato's Pizza - North Tempe
277 South Smith Road Tempe, AZ 85281. They had some good vegetarian options as well. The pay is onlu 7.25 plus tips at first but there is potential to work up to a server. I really want a job because I have this credit card debit that is making me itching.

Anyway, I'm going to go eat some soup and play video games. Once I get a job, look forward to hearing me blog about finding a place and a roommate. After that is all settle, then I will probably write about wanting to find a nice man and doing research on trips. And I'm sure I will write about looking for a better job. A short summary of my next year.
Ciao!
