And so the story goes....

Well, I'm getting a new roommate. I'm excited about it. I used to hate change and uncertainty-I wasn't loving it when Deb started talking about this whole sublet thing-but it's actually worked out so far. Laura-sublet 1-has been awesome. I'm going to miss her and am excited to go see RENT with her! Her love for Indian people and hearing tidbits about her experiences there-was fun. And we laughed a lot! So she is moving out and Aurora is moving in.

Fun times-Aurora is from Spain! So, it looks like I'll be re-learning some spanish and she'll be learning some english. Or at least that's the goal...well one of them. I don't know much about her other than she is from Spain and has a couple of cute guys Spanish friends. So that can't be bad! She's here for 6 months and I think we will have some good times. And hopefully some barbecues on the back porch!

I have recently-well not found out exactly-but I have realized that I have become a much more appraochable person than I used to be. This is good. At work sometimes I wish it weren't the case-but you win some you lose some. I think that this might be why the subletting thing is working out so well. I really hit it off with Laura-and Aurora had emailed me saying that she found a cheaper place but really like me and thought I'd be nice-so she wanted the room. And at work-well, i'm not the hated one. And I can still maintain standards with the staff. There are times when I wish I were less approachable for some-and the reign of Dena fear isn't completely absent-but for the most part I'm finding a nice balance. Something I wasn't sure was possible. So I guess this is a yay me post-and well I needed one. Next week might not have me in such a positive outlooking mood.

i haven't been here in a while

February-haven't been here since last February. It's a short month. I don't like it cause it makes money tight-extra tighter than usual.

The State of the Union is on Tuesday. And I'm excited-this will be the first State of the Union in 8 years that I'm excited to watch and will probably be able to get through without throwing something at the television. How wonderful will that be? i mean our President is articulate! Who would have thought?!?! And he's a constitutional lawyer! I mean-wow a const. lawyer as the President-well finally someone who knows what the constitution is!

And Gay marriage-isn't denying this a clear violation of the 14th amendment and a blatant sign that we are recognizing an established religion's belief? Which would be unconstitutional because we supposedly have a separation of church and state. The things we worry about amaze me. People are starving, unemployed, losing their homes, dying of malaria, or thirst-and we're worried about 2 people we don't know and may never know our whole lives-getting married. Quite honestly those priorities are fucked up! Really?!? People!

Ok so that's my rant-I'm gonna get back to making my hanky panky's and cooking dinner. Yay for the Oscars tomorrow!
