I will write to make myself happy
I will not be a slave to insecurity
I will be happy
I will be responsible
I will make art a part of my life
I will become a great writer
I will be happy where I am
I will not lose sight of my goals
I will not settle
I will not lose
I will remember my blessings
I will make apologies when I am wrong
I will not make apologies for who I am

Friday Things
1. I just spilled an entire bowl of chicken noodle soup on my lap! Yay! And now not only do I look like I peed myself, but have a weird, chickeny smell.
2. I made a date to see my ex-boyfriend next week. I'm engaging in what I like to call voluntary stupidity. I know he's bad for me and I know nothing good can come from it - but I'm doing it anyway. Bleh. It's weird because I think he's taken on this big, added significance because of the ways things ended between us. When I first met him, I wasn't even interested and he's shown me over and over what a bad person he is. I called him yesterday and I was shaking and sweating the entire phone call. I don't think I know what role I want him to play in my life. I've tried to go on like I never even met him over and over but he just comes right the hell back. Yuck.
3.Conversly, I had a sweet, positive interaction with a guy who was genuinely nice for the sake of being nice yesterday. This guy on my job saw me struggling to get snow and ice off my car and came to my rescue! Not only did he make sure my car was snow-free all over (including headlights), but he sprayed my wipers and front and back windshield with de-icer. Yay! It left me with warm fuzzies and hope that there are indeed some good ones left.
4.Wooooo! There will be much shaking of ass and drinking of alchohol tonight. My girl's birthday was yesterday and we will be celebrating at Dream in D.C. Wooooo!
5.Link o' the day: I think I might have myfirst internet crush, ya'll*. Don't tell anybody though.
*I love how I write like I'm speaking to a great multitude of people. Is anybody out there?
6.That's it, that's all. Happy weekend.

*whew*
The thing about working at a journalistic outlet* located in an area that is neither especially hot or especially cold is that when the weather gets anywhere near either extreme the powers that be FREAK THE FUCK OUT.
So I've been busy all day updating news about maybe 2 inches of snow that's not even sticking in most places ("Roads are fine but it sure is cold! Back to you!).
*Despite the fact that I'm almost positive no one is reading this, I'm still iffy about talking about my job.
Yeah.
Here's something for you to look at while I'm gone.
I love The Manolo.

Here's something you never knew about me: Apparently, I'm not happy unless I'm neurotic.
Not 24 hours after starting this blog, I'm already stressing myself about what to write. The good thing is that I'm kinda by myself in this little corner of the internet - so I can't embarrass myself too much.
But I read so many well-writen, insightful and funny blogs every day (job? what job?)that it's hard not to compare.
My goal, then, is to find my own voice and do my own thing. I've been writing for work for a while now, and I've been told I'm not too bad at it. Now I'd like to see just how far I can go writing for fun.
In other news...
I haven't yet discovered how to set up a blogroll thingy and I'm not even sure if anyone else is reading...but I thought it would be cool to link to other writers I really enjoy.
This here chick's crazy

Hi there.
I've been eyeing this blogging thing for a while now.
I'm finally biting the bullet and trying it out for myself.
Let's see what happens, shall we?
