04:34 pm - Hi again
Just dropping by to say hello for anyone who still reads this.
I finallyyyyy got my bicycle. It's exactly what I've been looking for and I got it dirt cheap from some guy off Craigslist. Now I only need Mike to get one so we can ride together.
I just recently got my computer back, which is a relief for sure. I'm not sure what happened, but my hard drive on my MacBook Pro just got completely fried and it had to be replaced. I lost everythinggg. Huge bummer, but at least I have a new one, and it was totally free.
This weekend was one of the slowest ever. We literally laid on the couch day and night. Except for a few hours on Sunday when we went to look at engagement rings. (I know, right?). Anyway, I was completely thrown at how in-your-face the people working there were. I get it. The economy is really bad and they probably work on commission, but STILL. They made me feel bad because I didn't want a $20K ring.
I leave Saturday morning for my cruise. Can't wait to let loose.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Toodles.

11:31 am - Countdown
Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is THE day!!
I have such high hopes that things are going to go in the right (er, left) direction.
I still haven't voted yet. I know, I know, they've been encouraging everyone to VOTE EARLY(!!!) because the lines are going to be so long on Tuesday. BUT, the OG inside me has to do it on ELECTION DAY, or else I don't feel like it counts for some reason. I don't even care if I have to stand in line for 6 hours.
In other, way less important news, I'm getting old. Srsly. I turn 25 in a week. Gah. I swear, from 19 until now, it seems like only a year or two has gone by. I've been out of college now for close to 3 years. At least people still mistake me for...well, someone in high school. I still get hit on by guys in the food court, and I still get asked what grade I'm in. I feel young and that's what's truly important, at least that's what I've been telling myself.
Halloween was more or less a bust, which is a shame because it's totally my favourite holiday. We only got 3 trick-or-treaters, and I'm fairly certain that one of them was not dressed up at all. All the parents, it seems, drops their kids off in the wealthy areas, and no one wants to try a condo "neighborhood". Who am I kidding though? I would have done the exact same thing.
Now that Halloween is over, the other, "bigger" holidays are right around the corner. Or that's what Target would like me to believe. Thanksgiving is probably my second favourite holiday because I don't have to buy gifts for anyone, or decorate the house. I just get to eat. And eat. And eateateateat. My mom has been trying really hard the past few years to make vegan dishes for me, and I must say, they are absolutely delish. And Mike can attest to that.
And with that, I'm going to prepare lunch for myself and finish watching The Price is Right.

10:23 am - Ta-Da!
I don't know why I continue to post in here to be quite honest. I have my doubts that anyone really reads it. BUT, in the off chance that someone does, I guess I'll keep you updated on the ups and downs of Ms. Sara Yaste. Well, actually, there haven't really been any "downs" that I can think of. Things have been pretty fucking great. This past weekend was my best friends wedding (yes, like the movie) in Lakeland. The wedding itself went off without a hitch, and neither Mike nor myself got too uncomfortable which is always good. Everything leading up to the wedding was super stressful though. All in all, it was a good time, I met a lot of nice people, and I'm glad it's over. And now I have a $200 bridesmaid dress sitting in my closet that I will never wear again.
I really want to get out of FL for a bit. I'd like to go up north or out west to explore and say hello to a few people, but it's just so hard right now with everything being so expensive and Mike not starting his new job yet.
I really wish this Summer weather would end and Fall would begin. That's the shitty part about Florida; there's only 2 weeks of Fall. It's either Summer or Winter-ish.
I actually called out of work today. I just feel a little over-exhausted, and am on the fringe of getting sick. I just wanted to take it easy, and also go to Millenia to get this coat I've been dying to get from Anthropologie. Hopefully they still have it in my size. I'm going to be bummed if it's gone (Mike!!). I sold a bunch of clothes I don't wear anymore on eBay so that I could buy new things. It's a rule Mike came up with so that our closet isn't filled to the brim constantly.
Things have calmed down a lot with my psycho ex's, which I know makes Mike a happy camper. And things with his psycho ex have stopped all-together, which pleases me as well.
Things that I am looking forward to:
Movie in the Park tonight with Mike (we seriously are the cutest couple everrrr)
Seeing Choke at the Enzian
Getting to look at all the wedding picturessss
Halloween Horror Nights (we're going Oct. 2)
Universal/IOA this weekend
Getting this damn jacket
and making love (not necessarily in that order)
Things that I'm definitely NOT looking forward to:
Looking at my bank account
Working out
Taking the second part of my class to get my CFE license (it starts Friday..ugh)
Getting all my bullshit taken care of (oil changed, eye appointment, and my uh, "lady appointment")
Taking Mr. B on a walk in about 3 minutes
Having to do round 2 of selling stuff on eBay

06:02 pm - quickie
Loving my new job. I get to drive around and look at/into people's houses all day. It rulessss. I also get to meet lots of weird people too. The other day we went to this one girls home and when she came outside, she was totally wastedddd at like 9 am. So ridiculous! She also told us her life story and for some reason all her possessions were stowed in the trailer of a semi. The day goes by so quickly now it's ridiculous. And everyone I work with is SUPER nice. I really have nothing negative to say about it, besides the threat of running into snakes or bad dogs. But I think I'll be okay.
Mike and I are getting a new big screen tv very, very soon. It's basically just so we can play video games, but it'll be nice to have a more grown up-looking place.
I'm so glad it's summer again. I'm already getting super tan and super blonde. I can't wait to go to the beach.
Okay, enough, I'm starving!

11:11 am - Sooo
I'm at work, and totallllyyyy bored out of my skull, and I just found out that I can check livejournal at work. Not that it's really all that exciting, but it's something to do. It's something to get me out of doing work for maybe 5 minutes.
Speaking of work, my last day is next Friday. And it can't come soon enough. I'm taking tomorrow off to see Mike graduate. His family is in town from Pittsburgh, and I know he's super psyched to see them (even if he doesn't come out and say it). We've been working double-time to get the apartment in ship-shape, and it's finally done. We've unpacked, and hung up, taken down, and put away, everything. Absolutely Everything. The place really looks great. I hope to have pictures soon. This is seriously the nicest place I've ever lived. It's totally a grown up place and I'm doing my best to keep it looking nice. Neatness has never been a strong point of mine.
Part of me is worried that I will end up totally loving my new job. I know that sounds kind of off, BUT, I want to be able to leave Florida in April feeling good about it. I don't want to have to leave a great job, you know? I think Mike feels the same. I mean, I don't want to HATE it, obviously. I just don't want anything standing in my(our) way for our big move.
So my best friend from High School is getting married (again) and I'm to be in the wedding. She also just found out she's preggers. I mean, I'm totally 100% happy for her. But in the same breath, I'm totally 100% happy that it isn't me. Not the marriage part, I know I'd be a good wife. But the baby part. I'm totally selfish and self-absorbed and I don't know how I'd manage raising a kid right now. Putting someone else in front of me...forever. Eeek!
I doubt anyone even reads this anymore. It's more cathartic for me than anything. And I just managed to not do work for 7 minutes. Win-Win!

So, here's what's been up:
I moved out of my old apartment with Charles.
I moved into a condo downtown with my boyyyyfriendddd Mike and "some dog". We are loving it.
I got a new job where I'm making an EXTRA $500/month. I'm so stoked on life right now.

Happy early Valentine's Day everyone. This will the be the first one I'm actually excited about in a long time. I got Mike his present today and I do believe he/we will enjoy it.
This weekend we went shopping and he bought a new wardrobe so his psycho ex can look at him in new clothes. He looks smashing! We also went to Ikea to look at stuff for our new place. And we had a lovely picnic in the park. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us. We deserve the best.
I just returned from my vacation. I went on a cruise to the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. It was fabu. Got a good tan, and some amazing memories. I climbed up at 600 foot waterfall as well! Check my myspace later for pictures.
For some reason, Deal or No Deal never gets old.

Here's another random post. I feel like I am the luckiest and happiest girl on the planet, and for once, I'm not patiently waiting for the bottom to drop out. I am in LOVE, and I'm doing well financially (for the most part), and I'm healthy, and I've been surrounding myself with good, decent people, and cutting out the bad ones.
Have been to NYC, Pittsburgh in the past 3 months, and next week I will be in the Bahamas. I cannot wait to kick back and relax and get tan. I have 12 more weeks left on my lease here with Charles, and then I'm moving in with HIM. I seriously feel like my life is just beginning.
I hope you all are doing as well as I am!!!

I have completely neglected my livejournal for...well, too long it seems. Looks as though I've lost most of my friends on this thing. Just to let you all know, I am still alive, and doing quite well actually. It's funny to read past entries of mine. Everything was just "so important." I've learned to take things one day at a time and to not worry so much about what the future has in store for me. I'll get to where I'm supposed to be eventually.

I've been up since 6. If I were a real adult I'd be drinking coffee; instead I'm drinking chocolate (soy)milk.
Things are more or less the same in my life. I'm working at the same place, but I got a promotion just the other day. Over my immediate supervisor...who's been there for 15 years. Can you say resentment? Honestly though, that's totally fucked.
I've joined a gym, and go a few times a week before work. I love it! It makes me feel accomplished.
I'm considering going back to school. I mean, I suppose that was always the plan, but I just kind of set it aside when I got this job. I don't mind my job I suppose, but it really just doesn't leave me fufilled. An 8 year old could be doing my job. But this is probably true with 90% of jobs anyway.
I moved into my new apartment a few weeks ago. It's huge! The complex and apartment itself is not nearly as nice as the last place, but it's so much bigger and cheaper that I don't really mind. The people who live above me though...Jesus Christ. It's a black family of about 20, and they are ALWAYS sitting out on the porch (I'm not going to say it) going buck wild. And unfortunately for me, their porch and my porch is seperated by a floor that isn't sealed completely, so their shit is constanly falling through the slats onto my floor. Lighters, spoons (yes), cigars, fake money from the Deal or No Deal game (I'm assuming this is from one of their 20 kids), and all kinds of juices boxes and fruit roll up wrappers.
It could be worse I suppose. Anything could be worse.

11:49 am - Siiiiiiiiick
For those of you who haven't heard from me in a while, or to those of you whose calls I haven't returned, I do apologize. But I've been on the brink of death. Once a year, always before the holidays, I get the flu, or a cold, or a mixture of both, that keeps me in bed ALL day. All I want to do is eat soup, and have someone give me hand massages.
All things considered, I've been in a pretty good mood. I'm somewhat excited for the holiday. I got all of my Christmas shopping done, and I think I did pretty well. I've always had a talent (if you will) for being able to pick out the perfect gift for people. It's a curse really...
Anyway, if I don't talk to you, I hope you all have a glorious holiday.

I haven't updated in a bit.
My Birthday was last week. I turend 23. This is the first Birthday that I wished wouldn't come. I actually feel old. Well, old-ish. I did get some neat stuff though;
My new bike! I love her! Hopefully I'll be able to get myself back in shape.
And also,
The dress I've been dreaming about. It doesn't look as good on me as it does on this girl though... http://www.daddyos.com/retro/ja19.html
Wow, I really need to clean up this apartment...
Tomorrow is my faux Thanksgiving. I can't wait to get into the kitchen!

10:51 pm - such is life
So, it's been brought to my attention that I "never update anymore." I'm actually kind of depressed that I actually had an entire conversation about my journal, but I digress.
My life has been turned upside down, and inside out over the past few months. Between getting a new job, finding out I've been betrayed by the person I would have given my life up for, and making some MAJOR, life altering decisions, I've certainly kept myself busy.
The Orlando/Charles chapter of my life is over. It's been a good ride (kind of), but it's time to move on to bigger and better things. It's funny how I spent 18 years of my life in Fernandina, and only 4 or so in Orlando, but that my time spent here in Orlando seems to outweigh that of my entire youth spent in Fernandina. I don't really recall much of my old life.
Anyway, I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm moving in May. To New York. How cliche, right? I need to move to one of the heaviest populated areas in the world in order to "find myself." But, I'm just shy of being 23 years old, I'm not married, I don't have children, and I'm done with school. Why the fuck not? I don't have any reason NOT to move. I'm excited to live in a place with culture, and a place that actually has a soul. And did I mention I won't need a car? Who knows how long this expedition will last. Maybe after a year I'll decide that I miss the Florida heat, or maybe I'll want to move to California to try something totally different. The sky is the limit, and things are looking UP.

Not much of an update, I know.

I'm happy. I think I've finally found my niche.
It's amazing how people's attitudes towards you change when you change yours towards them. Granted, people are losers, but not everyone. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I'm done writing people off before I really get to know them. It's in the people who you find the most unappealing or uninteresting that you may find your new best friend or soul mate. They just need a chance to shine.
"I like persons better than principals, and I like persons with no principals better than anything else in the world." Amen!
