all alone on a bicycle made for 2
Not working puts me in a weird position, I dont have an excuse when I dont want to go hang out.
This weekend I saw so many people and did so many things. There were awkward moments and really amazing moments. I had some of the most amazing conversations of my life. I started the weekend on Friday night watching the presidential candidates debate (I hid under my sweatshirt for some of it) . I celebrated a soon to be baby. I laid in the park with some lovelies. There were about 15 birthdays on Saturday, half of which I couldnt participate in. I watched "Hiroshima Mon Amour" and it tied my brain in knots for some reason. I rode my bike and a friends bike. I didnt have a single drink, but I did do a shot of Yerbe Matte. I had adventures that seemed to all end with a cup of tea. Tonight I said bye to a girl heading to the big City. There were a lot of little things in between that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Oh...so thats what a weekend is like

changing seasons
Its funny how quickly things change. You can disregard some of my last post.
I got laid off from my job. This is a huge deal for me. Ive never been laid off/fired before and it was a huge blow to my pride.
Its good to clear out your tear ducts every once in awhile though, I suppose.
Before being thrown to the curb by my job, I was sitting in a park with a funny human being, laying on a sheet with delicious snacks and an illustrated space book that was found in a dumpster. There were some teenage kids romping around making it to second base and I was looking at the clouds complaining about having to go to work.
Its 70 degrees. You have to take the good with the bad. Hello FloridaFall and hello unemployment.
This means school is the only thing keeping me here.
I found a new obsession just in time

Im asking you to be patient
Its been a really long time since Ive written anything of substance. I want to write about things that pound against the walls of my brain on a daily basis, things that make my heart beat a little bit faster, and about things I think other people should know about, but after I get done with the things I have to do, I have very little energy to anything extra.
This isnt going to be the time I start writing things of importance, but its a start.
Orlando and I are on very good terms right now. I enjoy late night bike rides, talks by the lake, meeting up for lunch or tea, and I rejoice when I get the perfect hug. I have the perfect amount of school, not too much to be overwhelmed, but just enough that I feel like Im learning something. I really hope I never have to waitress again, but its good for now. I even kind of like it when it starts raining out of the clear blue sky.
I want to see the seasons change. I wore a jacket yesterday, because it was raining, but I didnt want to take it off.
Im getting addicted to word searches and job searches.
Running is becoming fun.
I might be the only person around here that likes the weekdays better than the weekends.
Im a little embarrassed at myself these days. Trying to keep it real.

hardcore music and slow sunrises
I worked quite a bit this weekend and I made some dollars, for a change.
You should always balance work with play though. I afternoon adventured it with Doug on Saturday. Good conversations, me losing everything, and blues videos. At night, I went downtown as a sort of last outing before "getting my act together" Downtown is a sad story and its a bad place to have a last hurray, especially if you never had a first hurrah. Running into the Mel and Panda combo was awesome though and a few other people were worth crawling through the crowds of drones for. The real Vanilla Ice did make an appearance in downtown Orlando though. If its good enough for Vanilla Ice, I'll take it.
I worked some more on Sunday and spent a quiet afternoon sipping tea and talking about change. I made it to bed early. Not as early as I said I was going to, but not too late. I woke up at 5 am and made it to UCF by 5:30. The sky was still black and what was left of the full moon from yesterday was up high. I ran my/our mile, the sun started to come up, and so starts the day.
I cant imagine making it to 13 miles yet, but it was a good start. I am very thankful for my ipod playlist with a mix of hardcore and dance music and the adrenaline that starts to pump when running with a pack of at least 100 people.
I highly recommend training for a marathon or doing something else thats structured, involves a ton of other people that you wouldnt otherwise know, and has an end goal.
Its either this or me talking about the election.

teenage angst should be the title of more blogs
I have 100 days left in the U.S.A. This is very strange, because Im so excited, but the 100 days part makes me a little short of breath and panic due to all the things I still need to take care of. I cant believe I'll be in Switzerland at Christmas and with my favorite little Palestinian kids at the start of the year. Makes my heart tingle.
As far as life here and now.
I started training for a marathon. This means that until December 6, I will show up at the gym at my university at 6 am on Monday mornings and 8 am on the rest of the mornings and work out and run in a big pack of people. This also means that I need to say see you later to gin and tonics. Also exciting.
Im laughing at McCainiacs and Obamabots. If you know where I got those terms, we can talk politics. I cant wait until the election is over so we can all stop pretending.
Business is starting to pick up at work again since the summer is crawling back into the sun.
A man walked up to me at Stardust yesterday and handed me a handfull of money that was owed to my 4 years ago. I couldnt even believe it.
Im still in the pool most of the time.
I feel really good about things
I pledge allegiance to the...?
