So I'm officially moved into my new apartment. It's chaos at the moment but still quite fantastic. Katie and I are waiting for our bodies to heal so we can start rearranging and organizing. Working another 6 days in a row isn't going to help that process quicken pace. But I'm home now. This is my favorite apartment to date. It's almost everything I've ever wanted and for a reasonable price. I'm sure we will find little annoyances along the way with it but we're champs and we'll deal. I'm going to be having a lot of finances in the near future. From new glasses and clothes to housewares and furniture. Also car necessities as well. But I'm not worried. Everything will work out swimmingly, I just know it. Everyone come visit! |

So I found a new apartment in logan square and I couldn't be happier. I get the keys tomorrow and I will then start the slow moving process. I've lived here for almost a year now and I definitely doesn't feel like it. I'm soon to get lots of visits from people near and dear to me. A lot has happened since I've moved. I've done a lot of great things and met quite a few great people. I feel rather fortunate. However, I'm still having internal conflicts and social anxiety. I've had a couple of interests which none of have panned out the way I'd like but there are a lot of people here. So I guess we'll see what happens. I need to work on the 'not sabotaging' thing. I have a tendency to present myself as not interested and I have a feeling that has something to do with the whole 'not panning out' thing. It'll be better once I have a new space where I can feel comfortable making things and doing what I wish because it's my house and not someone else's. That'll probably make a significant difference with my self esteem. All of you are welcome to visit. And if you can't, don't hesitate to call. I always love to hear friendly voices. |

I miss my friends. I don't regret the decision I made to leave. However, I had forgotten how terrible I am at meeting new people and how nervous I can get. Also, my tendency to not trust people has taken deeper roots without my knowing. I wish everyone I know could just move up here tomorrow. I think I'd be a lot happier. Come on guys, whaddya say? For me?
Today is my first day off in a week. I think I'm gonna get an avocado smoothie and a veggie burger from this sweet cafe in Logan Square. Then maybe I'll hit up some thrift stores and record shops. Then I'll get groceries, come home, clean the house, finish projects, and probably not sleep (been having a tough time with that as of late) since I have to open tomorrow, which means I have to wake up at 1:45 am so I can leave with enough time to catch the early train. That's the plan as of right now, but my plans hardly ever keep as I originally intend. Tomorrow I'll work, come home around 11 am, clean some more, maybe work on projects some more, and then go to the Siskel Theatre to see Man of Marble (possibly by myself, depends). Well, this post was nothing short of a pointless stream of consciousness. |

Well, I will be in Fort Myers on Wednesday the 7th. Less than 3 days. I'm really hoping to be able to see everyone but I have a feeling some people will be unreachable or there won't be enough time. However, I'm excited! Whoever I do get to see, I will be grateful. I want to get everyone in one location some night so I can take care of seeing all of you at once so I don't feel so scattered. What can I say, I'm lazy and selfish. Don't care. So we'll see what happens. |

I had a dream this morning that I found my Red Panda hoodie and that it wasn't lost forever. Then I woke up and realized that it was definitely not the case and now I'm quite sad.

I started reading Petronius' Satyricon. I think I would be pretty lost if it wasn't for the thorough introduction.
Still haven't found a job. Didn't expect it to be this hard at all. I'm aiming for a school. One of the photo students from Edison moved up here and is attending/working at De Paul. She said they have an opening for a full time secretary position but her supervisor has yet to post it so I can't apply for it until she does. It would be amazing to work at a school again. Granted I would prefer the Art Institute or Columbia but gotta take what I can and be happy about it. At this point, I'd be ecstatic if Starbucks called me back. That's how desperate I am. This will be the last month I'll be able to afford my rent. Yikes.
Saw Evangelicals a couple weeks ago. That was fantastic. Now I get to see Sunset Rubdown this Saturday. I'm so excited for that. I'm going to miss a lot of shows coming up that I want to see because I have no money.
I've been sitting at home for the most part, online looking for jobs, cleaning, reorganizing, playing Spore (which isn't as great as I had anticipated but it helps pass the time), reading, watching Discovery channel (By the way, they're coming out with a series called Storm Chasers soon! How perfect for me!) and sometimes sewing. I've been without access to a darkroom for almost 2 1/2 months and I don't know what the fuck to do with myself.
I need to make some friends. But that involves partially being able to go out and meet up with them, which normally requires money. Sigh.
But, things will work out....I hope. |

So the Evangelicals show the other night was great as expected. It was a small show which I prefer. After the show, I met some of the band at their merchandise table. Told them I thought they were fantastic and it was the second time I had seen them. We chit chatted a bit. The drummer told me he used to live in St. Pete so we talked a little about the year round sweltering heat of Florida climate. Then as I was leaving they asked what my name was. We exchanged names and hand shakes. They were so friendly and appreciative. I hope they come back to Chicago soon. They always put on an intense performance. I love it I love it I love it. |

This couldn't have ended any worse. All of my furniture is damaged, as are the boxes (some are completely opened) and they lost my bicycle. |

So the city is pretty great. However, not being able to really settle in or find a job for two weeks now is getting quite tiresome. The moving truck was supposed to have arrived Tuesday, July 29th. It's now August 12th, and they said they would be arriving today between 9 and 10 am. Guess who still isn't here. Ugh. |
