My new year's resolution
To go to school full-time and by this time next year I’m under 20 credits of getting my associates of science degree so I can pursue my dream of helping people and making decent money from it.
Its a good day
I got my prescription changed, my refund check should be here anyday, I love my fiance ;-), and I found out I qualify for a new claim for unemployment which = me getting more money for a solid six months. I can go to school full-time for at least the majority of 2010 if I play my cards right.
Oh 2009, so many people have hated you, but I just want you to know you really were there for me and...

This day is the day I proposed to Sara. She said yes. The reactions have been.. very odd. Full range on the wide spectrum. It made both of us realize; we’re still second class citizens. I felt very much like a ‘joke’. Not taken seriously.
Two gays wanting to be engaged just seems… odd? My mom got really —upset. I don’t know. It almost kind of ruined...
Best trip ever.
Had the greatest time in Klamath. My girlfriend ended up coming down, my niece is so adorable, and I got to relax and spend a lot of time with my family.
Now I get to enjoy a ten hour train ride with Sara tomorrow.
PLEASE:
Turn that frown upside down.

Christmas came early...
My parents were so bummed my girlfriend, Sara couldn’t come out, that after a talk this afternoon they told me to go get her a ticket and I could pay them back. It will be her second trip out to Klamath Falls, and I am really excited that she will actually get to be here for more than a day around my mom and stepdad.
What a great Christmas present. Then I get the added bonus of spending...

Being away
makes me realize how hard Sara and I had it last year. To think one year ago at this exact time, I was living here in Klamath Falls, and she in Olympia. Things seemed almost unattainable. Would I be able to move in the Spring? Should I do another term @ OIT and wait? I made the decision to wait so I could save up money, and go to school. I felt it was the right decision but it was hard on...

Fat hate, anykind of hate
I wish more people wouldn’t hate people for the reason of them being fat. The put downs, the judgments, and the horrible comments people make. Presumptions, stereotypes, and assumptions. It gets so tiring to read it. People who were once fat but are not anymore and bash other people (fat people), or fat people who put themselves down as well. People offering advice for someone who says...

Which I think is good and bad. Bad being that sarcasm is very hard to detect on the interwebz. Good because… well I can go back and read all the funny things she said and laugh about it all over again.
24 hours from now I will be on a train heading to Klamath. Debating on taking Sara up on her offer in letting me borrow her camera. Also thinking of bringing her guitar with me to show my...

Be nice to yourself
definatalie:
It concerns me when people beat themselves up over things in order to motivate change. How can you set up a good foundation for doing things differently when it’s motivated by shame and/ or fear? In my observations, people who work this way very rarely work through the problem they’re so concerned with… they just end up compounding it.
Start here: respecting and honouring yourself....
I really really really wish there was an unlike...

Sometimes it really does feel like my life is...
I am happy and in love with someone who loves me so much. I have never been with someone who loves me and I know that they love me. We have our ups and downs, but I’m so thankful she is in my life. It is so weird to think this is where I would be a year ago.

Whatcd>Waffles
Just saying. I love the artist feature that lists all albums, EPs, and compilations. Being able to download the type of quality is awesome as well and I am a sucker for their layout. It is so freaking hard to get your ratio up (compared to waffles, I’m over a 1.5 at waffles). At whatcd I was at .60 early this morning and now dangerously close to .20. Of course, I went downloading nearly...

Major step.
I’ve had my iTunes library (playlists) for over 5 years. And have gone to many lengths to save it, back it up, and restore it when things have messed up. I think I’m going to start all over… which is a huge thing.
One week today I get to see my mom.
Also Kath Griffin will be on Law & Order: SVU playing a lesbian activist. Now if there was some kind of makeout session with her and Olivia… my dreams have come true.
social networking is so 2005.
I was sitting in class tonight listening to people give their final presentations. One was the impact of social networking and how people are slowly interacting with one another via computer more than face-to-face. Which is not a shocker. Which made me remember my marketing class that I took last year and how when something new comes along there are the ‘early adopters’ and I...
