A little update on the happenings of my dysfunctional life...

GREETINGS!
Sometimes I wonder if I'm just writing to myself, and all my rambling is bouncing around in cyberspace for no reason. Hmm..Oh well. It wouldn't matter either way I guess because I enjoy writing...a little.
Since the last time I blogged a lot has been happening here in Kansas. Most importantly, I got a job! I am super stoked about this job because it is something I have been wanting to do for a long time, and is something that will help me excel in my major, business and accounting. So, I guess it isn't just a job...it is a possible career! We shall see, we shall see. Other than finding a job, I have just been spending some good quality time with my family..which is almost just as important as finding a job. :) It's funny how age and maturity really change close family relationships. Me and my sister hated each others guts all through our high school years and now we are best friends. We are almost identical in our personalities now, which makes for a great friend...and an even better sister. Of coarse, we have our moments when we get pissed the other one is wearing the others clothes, but hey, that just comes with being sisters.. both with sweet clothes. Haha. My nephew is as cute as ever! He seems to be growing and learning more each and every day, it's incredible to watch! Sometimes friends and family say I'm very cold, and don't put up with peoples BS very much so I come off very unemotional/heartless.... and it's kinda sad... but with my nephew I am just this whole other person. Like all my fears, walls, emotions (or lack of them) just fall. I've been told babies can do that to a person. I don't know much.. but I do know that there are two things that will always love you unconditionally and that is a baby and a dog. Hahaha. Maybe I'm wrong, but i believe that to be sooo true. So, if you ever want to see me in my emotional side, just get me around my dog and my nephew! Haha. :)

Besides finding a job and hanging out with family not much else is really happening. i'm having a fun time here in Kansas. Although, at some point I will have to get out of the comfort of my emotional bubble, and quit hanging out with JUST my family. I need friends my age, and a social life. I don't mind having friends at all... In fact, I enjoy it. But I just really dislike the whole "lets get to know you" process that comes along with finding new friends. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could just skip all the possible awkward situations to just having a fun comfortable time!!

On a very random note: I painted my nails orange today and I feel like the biggest idiot in the world. Not only do they look hideous, they also add about 20 years to the age of my hands... So, take my advice and never paint your nails orange unless you wanna look like a fool.

After a 25 hour drive, I have arrived in KANSAS!

It's been awhile since my last post but it for very good reasons! I have been busy moving my life to Overland Park, Kansas! Can you believe it? It still is so surreal to me that I am actually here to live, and not just for a visit. I am trying to find a job out here and to just get settled. I am staying with my sister and her family for awhile until I can get my feet on the ground. I am so excited to start school again out here. Hopefully my sister will come back to school with me so we can do it together.

Th drive out to Kansas was fun but very very very long! We decided to take the safe boring route (through Arizona, new Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and then straight into Kansas) instead of the exciting.not so safe one (Nevada, Utah, Colorado). We started around 12pm California time and just rove straight through until we arrived at our destination at 1:30pm Kansas time. So it took about 23 1/2 hours. Ha ha... Me and Joseph both barely made it. We were fighting the inevitable sleepiness that hit us just around flagstaff, Arizona. I slept maybe an hour the whole drive because i was so paranoid about dying and getting run over by a semi...so when it was my turn to drive once we hit Oklahoma, Joe had been driving for almost 12 hours straight! I wish I would've used that time to sleep because once I started driving I seriously began to fall asleep! It didn't help that Oklahoma is probably the most boring state and there was nothing interesting to look at to maybe help me get more excited and therefore more awake so I fell asleep AT THE WHEEL for a little over...oh....2 seconds...it was a good nap...ha..
I then realized that I really wanted to make it to Kansas alive so I woke Joe up to drive while I took a short nap. I'm writing this blog now, so I'm sure you know what happened... we made it alive! So, I am very grateful for that. I am also very excited that my car made it the whole trip without a problem. Let's hope it stays that way!

Seeing my sister, nephew, brother in law, and dog again is awesome. I couldn't be happier. :) I plan on staying in Kansas for a very long time. :D
