When I was I kid, I thought 'deaf' and 'death' were the same word. I would tell people that I couldn't hear them because I was death.

I'm changing (no, not a sex change)

I haven't been very good at keeping up with my social media outlets lately.  I keep promising for a good blog post one day, but that day still hasn't come.  I'm not making anymore promises.  Read at your own risk.

Well it's been an exciting year so far.  Lets review:

1) One of my BFF's got hitched!  I had the honor be being in her wedding.  Really, for me, it was just an excuse to wear a cute cocktail dress and sparkley heels.  But lets face it, my true friends know the truth about me (and I know she's going to read this at some point ;-) )

2) I quit my 1st job out of college after 8 months.  Yeah, I guess you could say I gave up.  Since my blog is public, I will spare the details (just in case, ya know).  But really, there's nothing to hide.  I just wasn't cut out for the job.  And not ready for it.  It's very terrifying going into work the day you plan on quitting.  Me?  I had "a talk" with my boss.  I decided to man up and do it face to face.  I did consider a letter of resignation, and just handing it to my boss and being like PEACE BITCHES!!  But then I thought, who writes a letter of resignation? I'm not the freakin' president.

3) I forgot to mention that I accidentally quit my job without having another job lined up... mind you, I have little gigs I can work here and there for money (and no, I'm not a prostitute), but it still wasn't the best decision I ever made.  I applied for a million jobs on Craigslist, and to my surprise, received quite a few call backs.  Promising ones, not the spam ones for "women seeking women."

4) I had a few great interviews, but I wasn't expecting anything to come of it.  I am, after all, 23 and have less than a year of real work experience.  Who wants to hire someone who can't handle a job after 8 months?  However, I went into all my interviews with an open mind, and was completely honest about my situation.  I feel like at this point, I've been through so many interviews, I rarely get nervous for them anymore.  I figure, they like me or they don't.  Right?

5) I landed a new job!  Yep, I found one.

My last day at my old job was Jan 30th, and I started my new one Feb 1st.  Nothing like taking a vacation, right?  I can't really complain though, I need to consistently work to support my shopping habit.

So that's where I am.  And overall, I'm very happy with everything =)  Oh yeah, my birthday is next weekend February 28th!!!

List of things I'm planning on within the next year:
-figure out what pro cheerleading team I want to try out for.... any suggestions?
