SEARCHING FOR A NEW PATH
I found out yesterday that my roommate will be moving out at the end of December. I'm really bummed about it. We meshed really well. Neither of us got into this situation for any other reason than to help each other out. That's not to say that we didn't grow closer. I might even go so far as to say that we became friends, but that wasn't something that had to happen. It was just a nice bonus. So now I'm trying to decide what to do. I would really like to live alone again, but I don't see that as a possibility in this city. And I would really like to stay in this apartment. For all it's faults (paper thin walls and floor, single-paned windows, screaming kids as neighbors) I do like it here. I have a lot to think about over the next few weeks, since I have to give my landlord 30 days notice if I'm going to leave. I'm open to any help/suggestions out there. Or just send some good mojo my way.
On the plus side-I will start training the new music manager next week. Am looking forward to getting back on the floor. I really miss talking up good books with people. That's not to say that I don't enjoy talking about music or movies, but that damned music department is so confining! I gotta be free!
What else is going on, you ask? Well, I made plans to visit a friend in LA, but they were nixed since I have to save cash now. I've been watching some pretty bad horror movies at Horrorfest, but more about those later perhaps. I finally read a few classics: Catcher In The Rye, Old Man and the Sea, and am finishing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Again, I will blog more later about those. I'm also reading a new book called Mister B Gone which is really interesting. If you want to know what else I've read, there's a really cool site called Library Thing where you can share opinions on books, swap them, and even sign up to read and review new releases before anyone else. Check it out, join it, and add me as a friend. I love hearing about good books.
I've also rediscovered my love for Alaska by rewatching Northern Exposure. Maybe I should move there. I don't know that this time of year would be a good time, but maybe this spring...who knows.
I really need to focus on the positive and remember to laugh more. So send me some good vibes if you get a chance. I also need to get off my ass and start making some cards for the holidays. So if you're on my mailing list and the card is late, it's because I've been lazy. Hopefully that will change.
