Ewww, I'm turning old tomorrow!!

So I guess it's time I update everyone on my life. It's been a while since I wrote a non-30 Days of Truth post. Although I should prolly get back on track with those posts too.

So, work. I am, once again, unemployed. The last place I was working, Vengeo, was an interesting place, with a program that i do actually like, but not the best work environment for me. There was a lot to be done, and I was fulfilling like 4 roles. Although I did enjoy writing the news release and the newsletter and all the PR stuff, it's prolly for the best that I'm not there anymore. I do miss my laptop, though.

And so I'm looking for a new job. I'm hoping to find something in the media field, preferably with writing or editing or something like that involved. I'd love to be able to write for a living. So everyone should just keep their fingers crossed. Also, if you see something you think I'd be great in, please let me know!!

I'm still living with Benny, and it's still going pretty well. I've met a bunch of her Latvians, and they're pretty awesome. Although I don't agree with her insistence that I need to leave my boyfriend for a Latvian guy, I do agree that they're pretty awesome. And good looking. Living downtown is still pretty awesome, and I'm getting the hang of being able to wander around and find almost anything to eat or buy or see or do. And my apartment, although haunted, is still great. It's more homey now, since we have blinds and curtains and a slightly bigger TV.

Matt and I are doing okay. Things after New Year's were a bit iffy, and we didn't see each other for like two weeks. He was off in Montreal, and I did something that, even unintentional, was not cool. But we've talked, and I think we're doing pretty good now. I'm trying to be more open and to talk to him about things instead of wallowing and shutting him out. It's hard, but I'm really trying. Also, I'm trying to be less of a bitch and more upbeat. It's not easy, since I feel bitchy and moody and down are my natural states, but you know, I'm trying.

Things are good health-wise, except for my crazy allergies. I've been told I have to have an allergy shot every week, which sucks, but hopefully it'll make the crazy itching stop. I'm gonna scratch my skin off soon!! I ordered the serum, but sadly, it takes sic weeks to get here, and it's only been like three. I really hope it comes soon.

So I turn 27 tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie, that's pretty old. Where did time go?? It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I was 19 and thinking I had years before I had to be an adult. And it kinda sucks, 'cause I look on facebook and see people getting married, having kids, and buying houses, and being adults, and I feel like I'm no where near that stage in my life. But I guess everyone hits that at different times?? Regardless, I hope soon I can be one of the adults, settled into a career and working towards a home and a family. I don't even know if I want kids, but still, I want to get to the stage where that is an option.

Ugh, I think I'm just getting old. At least my party will be fun times!! At least, I hope it will be.

Anyways, that's my update for now. Maybe you'll get one in another few months?? But don't worry, at least you'll get a few more 30 Days of Truth updates soon!!

30 Days of Truth: Some­thing peo­ple seem to com­pli­ment you the most on.

So I thought about this one, and it's taken me a while to come up with what people compliment. I've come up with my writing, and my personality (I know, that's super surprising to some of you).

My writing is something that most people will compliment me on, if they've seen it. Sometimes, people I didn't know were reading my stuff will tell me they liked it, which is super awesome to hear. Sometimes I'll get messages from people I've never met in places I've never been telling me that they liked what I wrote, or that they agree, or that they disagree...still, having a total stranger care enough to write a comment is awesome. Now if only I could find a writing job, that would be great!!

Surprisingly, my personality gets me a lot of compliments. If someone were to ask me to describe myself, I'd use words like bitchy, moody, or lazy. But for some reason, a lot of the people who know me tell me how much they appreciate my friendliness, my enthusiasm, my selflessness, my willingness to help out, my ability to listen and offer advice, and so many other things I would have never used to describe me.

So yeah, those are the two I get the most. I get hit on a surprising amount, so I'm assuming that people think I'm good looking, but don't normally tell me that. My awesome boyfriend tells me that all the time, though :D That makes me happy.

30 Days of Truth: Some­one you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.

There are actually a lot of people that fit in this category. I've recently come to the conclusion that a lot of people in my life are not healthy for me. This doesn't make it any easier for me to walk away from them. As we all know, I will fight forever to make something work...until I can't anymore.

I've actually been thinking a lot about this recently. I would absolutely love to lead a drama-free life and just be happy in the knowledge that all the people I know are honest with me and would have my back if I needed them....but that's sadly not the case. I don't really believe that everyone I know would stand behind me if I needed them to.

I'm not a fan of fake people. I try to be honest, and I tell people what I think and how I feel 90% of the time. I don't want to talk about someone behind their back and then pretend that I'm their friend when I'm with them. I don't want to beat the same topic to death and I don't want to hate anyone. But at the same time, I'm not sitting her listing everyone that I'm thinking of, because like I said, I'm only honest 90% of the time. It's not that I hate them or want to never speak to them again, I just wish it could be different.

A few people I really did wish I could let go or wish I'd just never met: my dad, my ex, my mom's ex, a few people at Lavalife. Yep, that's about it.
