well guys I’ve made the big move to the big city. and by big city I mean Durham. I like to think that Durham is a big city… I mean its part of a triangle of cities and if you connect the lines of that triangle you have one large city with an abundance of things to do and people to meet. Have I done any of those things? Met any of those people? umm…… no. I am currently sitting in Barnes and Noble with a tall caramel macchiato that doesn’t have quite enough sugar in it but I don’t want to get up and sweeten it because of all the true coffee drinkers sitting around me that would most definitely judge me for my inexperienced palate. Is this crazy? yes. but at least I’m aware of this.
After sitting in my apartment all day contemplating what I should do to make friends I just decided that I would pretty myself up and get the fuck out of my apartment. I settled on Barnes and Noble because I figured there would be lots of people here and it seems like one of the more acceptable places for someone to come alone. There are a lot of people alone here with their lap tops and books and presumably black coffee, including a mysterious cute guy in the corner across the room… hello! Is it bad that I’m better equipped to talk to approach these people in a chat room than in this real life situation? probably… especially because I was a communications major. Aren’t I supposed to be the bomb at chatting people up? FAIL.
How is it possible that I’ve been here for a month and a half and have met nobody? Ok, so it probably has something to do with the fact that I never go out. I’m just not used to going out alone and it feels weird. The only thing that I’m good at doing alone is shopping. Shopping is very easy to do alone and I’ve become very good at spending my money….perhaps too good. There is only so much money that can be spent though and I have hoarding tendencies that carry over to my money which is really a cock block to my ability to shop.Would it have been easier for me to say I like to save money there? probably, but I really liked the idea of a “shopping cockblock” and had to go with it.
side note: there is a guy that looks like Taylor Lautner here now and is making it very hard for me to concentrate. I’m pretty sure he is gay though…but beautiful all the same.
Other than being completely and totally alone here I’ve really loved it. I love my job and other than the fact that I have to be there every morning at 8AM, it doesn’t feel like work to me. I just had my 30 day review and my boss told me that she couldn’t be happier with me which is really a nice feeling. I mean they have no reason not to be thrilled with me… I go in everyday and kill it, brush my shoulders off, and leave.
sidenote number 2: There is a man holding his baby on his stomach by the crotch in line for coffee. I really wish I could take a picture of this because there is no way to describe it so you that can picture it.
So I’m in the market for a dog and have submitted an application for a sweet little girl and am hoping that I’ll hear back from them soon telling me she can be mine. Want to see a picture? Don’t worry I wouldn’t boast of this dog’s cuteness and then leave you hanging. That’s not my style.
LOOK AT THAT FACE
She is everything I’ve ever wanted in a dog…house trained, excellent with cats, quiet, sweet, playful, likes car rides, leash trained, crate trained, small, and so cute I could die. I’ve been really trying to think of a good Harry Potter name for her but so far I can think of nothing good that fits. I was tossing around Luna for a bit but it didn’t feel right and Ginny just seems stupid… so if things work out and I get her I think I’m going to name her Boo… cause she’s gonna be my boo… plus its cool, right? I’m looking forward to having a cuddle buddy and walking partner… and a dog that I can put clothes on. I am concerned that I might be a little animal crazy with 2 cats and a dog but they’re all small and it doesn’t seem like too much to me. I just won’t be able to date anyone that has any pets. but that wont be a problem because I have no one. see how this blog has come full circle?
Well this place is quickly filling up with tweens and lots of unattractive people so I’m going to wrap it up and shut this party down. Of course now its raining out so I have that to look forward to. sweet.
i so hope you get your pooch.
