In a Rut

Well, it's been a long time since I've updated this blog. This is for two main reasons...first, because now I'm twittering and so are many of my friends so it seems like people are more in tune with what's going on, and second, nothing really significant is going on in my life.

My day-to-day activities really haven't changed at all since I still do not have any sort of a job. About 2-3 weeks ago I did some promotions work, which was painfully horrible (think passing out fliers at the GSU for 6-8 hours a day). And that paid me some but I'm still sitting here on a Thursday afternoon updating my blog. I've also created an invite to an event, adding to the portfolio of Lucky Stone Designs, a company my cousin and I are working on. That also paid, but I still crave some sort of daily work. It's getting discouraging, seeing as though the 1 year anniversary of my college graduation is approaching.

Besides my money depleting quickly and utter boredom, I've had some fun times! There was the 80s party, celebrating my friend's birthday at a place called Retro Bar. I hadn't really gone out in a while prior to this, because I don't want to spend too much money...and also I don't know who to go out with, so it was great to have an excuse to be crazy. Just picture a group of us all dressed up at a club...where nobody else was in costume. Thank god for alcohol is all I can say. Even though we looked like total tools, and everyone stared and laughed at us, I still had a GREAT time.

I had one of my best friends, Olivia Rose Joan Vienneau, from home come visit for a week, which was amazingly fun. For the beginning of it, we flew down to Melbourne and spent some time there. It was really relaxing to walk around the city, explore St. Kilda, watch comedy shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and we even saw some movies (if you haven't seen 17 Again, DO IT NOW!!!) Then for the rest of the time here, I got to show her around Sydney. It's nice to have to have an excuse to go to all those touristy places that you never actually go to when you live in a place. It was great to see a familiar face!

Then there was my 23rd birthday!!! Alex organized this whole night, which included drinks at the Polo Lounge (how appropriate), dinner at a Tapas restaurant on Oxford St., and finally clubbing at some gay bars. With all my friends in Sydney, including Olivia, present, I really had a blast! The funny things is that the people I thought would have the most trouble being in a gay bar, really enjoyed themselves a lot (maybe even too much seeing as though my ass was grabbed quite a few times by my straight friend). It was a hella birthday though.

But ya, besides that I'm pretty blah right now. I need to get a job. I need to do SOMETHING! I don't want to have to go home again.

'Till next time.
