And so the time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things
I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and have been here ever since. You get used to it. I'd like to travel to other places to see how they compare. So far I've been to O'ahu, Friday Harbor and Seattle, WA, and Athens, OH. I love hearing the waves crash as I fall asleep. MODS

Suspensions:12 (as of August 2009)
On May 6, 2006 I lost my father to cancer. My mother and I are beginning to cope and get on with our lives, adjusting to our house being too damn quiet, and feeling so very, very sad. I'm a student at the University of New Mexico. I'm trying to major in the Sign Language Interpreting program, which is very hard to get into, but very worth it. I'm a book worm and pack rat. I'm currently on a seemingly ill fated hunt for a hat with a Llama on it...one of these days I hope to be successful. (*update* no hats with llamas on them at the Alpaca farm) New update-I've got a sweater with llamas on it, made of alpaca yarn*
2009/10/25 02:11 The second of my 3 best friends has moved to another city about 3 hours away. That now leaves me with one best friend; who is basically impossible to get ahold of. I'm pretty sure I'm now going back to my status of "bitchy friend" who hangs out at parties and judges people silently to myself, because I now have no one to back me up on my feelings. I'm pretty sure "hermit" is in my description future
2009/10/21 19:08 Wow, so a bit has happened since I updated last month, didn't realize it had been that long.
I got back from Seattle last Monday night. I had an amazing time! It was wonderful to see Sloan again finally, and to be back in Seattle. Though I'm going to have to visit Seattle at least once during the (supposedly) non-rainy season. Though Sloan told me that the heat wave that swept that part of the country this summer made it the hottest summer in Seattle EVER. I bet that sucked. Humidity and heat are gross.
I didn't end up having to deal with Marc at all actually. He's decided to move to Chicago (haha!) for some job he's found I guess. I did have to "deal" with Sloan's cousin Ethan, who was a bit of a pain the ass, but overall not an issue. My sexy time didn't go as planned, but overall I had a blast, and I honestly can't wait to go back. Perhaps for New Year's, since UW's spring break is the week after mine, and I'd hate to make Sloan play host during midterms, he's already going crazy with just a few weeks of grad school under his belt.
I'm trying to play catch up after being gone for 5 days and doing absolutely no school work. So much so that I skipped a test today! Eeek, probably going to have to eat the grade for that one unfortunately. I hate sociology damnit.
I'm the same feeling I had the last time I came back from Seattle, and that's restlessness. I'm not sure whether it's because both of those times I've been around people who seemed to know what they want, and are going for it, (though Sloan is having a very hard time being completely by himself and with the intensity of grad school); or whether I'm just bored with my own life, but have no idea to start changing it. To top everything off, one of my very best friend's is moving about 3 hours away on Saturday, and I'm very unhappy about it. That will make 2 of 3 best friends out of reach now. And the third is crazy busy. *sigh* On the upside, the other friend who is out of town, Justin, will be back for a visit in the next few weeks, and I'm ecstatic about seeing him. The beginning of our friendship had some pretty rocky spots, but we've come to be extremely close over the last few years.
It seems like for the foreseeable future, I'm going to be counting down days until my friends come home to visit. Boo
2009/09/21 00:11 I've realized over the last few months that I've had better, easier conversations with the brother of a guy I thought was my friend freshman year of high school. I'd run into this guy Marc a few times in the last year or so at bars and such around town, and we'd have polite conversation, but it was always strained and awkward.
This summer I started hanging out with this guy Jav who is in my friend Rob's band, and we hit it off and started casually dating. We hung out with some of Jav's friends, and wouldn't you know it, but he's really good friends with Marc. This was strange to say the least. So for about 2 months I spent a fairly decent amount of time around this group of friends, Marc included, as well at Marc's older brother Jon who I had only met in passing in high school since he's several years older than Marc, and Marc is 4 years older than I am.
I've since stopped seeing Jav after he threw a bit of a hissy fit before the 4th of July about my dating another person, which he was fully aware of, and then promptly disappeared for about 3 weeks without any kind of contact. We've started talking again, but it's still kind of awkward. I see Marc around town of course, and any time Jav's band does anything. They had a CD release about 3 weeks ago, so of course Marc was at the bar. Again, strained conversation. Jon was also at the bar, no problem talking to him, and I hardly know him.
I ran into Marc at a coffee shop close to campus on Friday while I was trying to play class catch up during my 2 hour break between classes. Again, strained conversation, and it was just casual nonsense! I ran into his brother at a restaurant I love last night that he works at, with this guy Mike I'm kind of dating, and Jon came right over, gave me a hug, chit chatted and everything was fine, nice even! I don't understand it.
And to top it all off, there's the up in the air possibility of Marc moving to Seattle (he was supposed to be out there on the 17th, then he decided to move to Denver with his girlfriend, they broke up, now no one has any idea what he's doing) and living with our friend while I'm there! That will be awkward in several ways, the most important of which is that it could severally hinder my sexy time with said Seattle friend, and goddamnit, I'm not going to deal with that well!
