Gas Money

Blogging in spurts. Apparently, that's what I do. 


I haven't blogged in a really long time, mostly because my computer became unusable and I didn't have the energy to battle autocorrect for long enough to endure the process of completing a blog via iPod. However, my mom recently took my computer apart and re-rigged it (once again, my plug is held in with duct tape), and now I have this warm glowing screen on my stomach that keeps me from sleep while I'm lying in bed.

I would looooooooove a macbook. Did you know that? If you know me, and don't know that, you don't know me.
But now you know me, because I told you. So let us commence.

Anyway, spurt blogging. There was a period of time in which I just could not blog enough. I would get ideas in my head for things I wanted to write facebook notes about, and let time pass before acting on them just so that I wouldn't be overpopulating facebook with my posts. Then I decided that's what blogs are for, and I came back to blogspot. Then my computer died, and all my drive to blog was strangled to death. End of spurt.

I just read a few of my own posts and laughed quite a bit. It's sad, but I really do think I'm funny.

So I decided it was time to try and get back into this stuff. Since it's midnight and I have to bring Hannah to school tomorrow morning, I'll make this speedy.

Condensed Updates!


In the months that have passed since my last post, I have

  • graduated college (kind of by accident)
  • gotten a new car (for which I had to learn to drive stick) 
  • turned 20


Lately I cannot get enough of

  • driving long distances (new york, new jersey, virginia, soon maine)
  • anything with curry
  • Regina Spektor
  • memebase

My plans for the future
  • snag a waitressing job and leave starbucks, so i can make more money and have more time to spend traveling to
    • Binghamton
    • Maine
    • New Jersey
    • WHEREVER I WANNA GO.

You might notice that my plans for the future are fairly brief. This is because I never plan very far ahead. 
I've learned that when you make detailed plans in advance, God shakes them all up until you're back to going step by step, day by day. For all I know, I could be an astronaut by Thursday. Or dead, also. I could die. 

At this point in my life, a lot of the people I want to be spending time with are in New York. Still at Davis, or graduated, or at University Plaza Starbucks. My homies are 3.5 hours and somewhere around $80 in gas away from me. 

So here's how I play right now: work until I have enough time to visit NY, then come back to work. Repeat. 

I'm at a pivotal moment in life. I'm trying my best to become as awesome as possible. Actually, that's a lie. I guess I'm not really trying my best. But that's what I want to be doing right now. Pursuing God, understanding scripture, learning how to make good food consistently, cleaning things because they're supposed to be clean instead of leaving them undone because they're only going to be undone again... just growing up I suppose. 

I'm 20. I crave God. I crave adventure. I crave sleep, for it is late. I crave cucumbers, for they are good. 

So that's my current life situation, in a long-story-short kind of way. The reason that I feel like I'm on the verge of some serious changes is because life has become a series of closing chapters lately. When you turn the pages, the story progresses. So here, we, go.
