We were made to never fall away

"You think to create is to forgive yourself in public. Fine. But don't think I can forgive you in private, because I can't, not ever. You're just an appetite and if you stopped being greedy you'd die."
~Louisa in "Nine" (2009)

Today marks four weeks out here in the PACNorthwest. And so it is. Things have been eventful. I have applied to several jobs and have secured tentatively two positions at two different restaurants/bars. It has been chilly weather wise, and now it is beginning to warm up and be more sunny. I'd like to tell the gods who control the weather that I appreciate the sun. The music video is finished and looks great.

I babysat a few days and that gave me some funds but I think I'm going to have to get a vehicle soon because it's pretty inconvenient busing from where I am currently staying to my potential jobs. I also got into a teensy weensy fender bender on saturday, so it looks like I'll be scraping together some funds to pay for damages (big frown face). This teensy weensy fender bender got a huge dramatic emotional response from me, suggesting that I am still coping with transitional / cancer/ break up things. But hey, I've been feeling pretty good most of the time so a few tears shed over crunching cars can't be that bad of a deal.

I'm looking forward to starting work, to meet some people, but I'm a bit nervous too. I should find out more details this evening on when I began.

I got some other good news this week. Apparently, I received the Creative writing BFA thesis award in Poetry for this academic year. I was really ecstatic to hear this, because I needed a little boost in confidence to pursue some writing avenues out here. Also I worked really hard on my thesis and I was going through a lot during that time so I have a lot of attachment to it.
