From my Bones marathon this lovely weekend of no school..."Happiness: love, laughter, friendship, purpose, and dance."

scchool sucks!

What a week of crappy, long finals...and on my last final after two hours, with only fifteen minutes left to submit, my computer randomly shut off and I seriously almost had a heart attack! But I am done with school for a month and celebrated last night with a great old, new friend.

weekend recap...

Well I'm finally almost done with this semester...took my first final Friday night and now no more horrible Friday night class...woo hoo! Now five more next week! :/
I've had a very good weekend filled with different activities...went on a ghost tour after class, interesting is all I have to say. Then last night I had a wine and cookie party :).
My friend experiment is actually working out well; I feel less stressed because I'm not over-analyzing and reacting to everything and it's been refreshing to have some of my friends that I've been feeling neglected by start pursuing me.

experiment

I have decided that for December I will no longer plan, pursue, or text anyone in hopes of trying to find the friendship balance in my life. My biggest sorrow it seems is people; making them too important, getting hurt too easily, putting friendship on a pedestal that clearly no one else does. I'm hoping that backing off will help me stop making people so big and focus all of that on myself, making me a better person. So we shall see what this experiment leads to.....

"Sometimes don't you just want to get lost, just to see who cares enough to find you?"

good year...

The things on my list that I'd like to do every year are lots of drinking-friend fun, day trips, camping, the lake, Abq trips, theme parties, holiday fun and travel....must say this year has been pretty awesome and I've done almost everything, including cutting down on the drama of being me. Here's hoping that next year is just as good and packed full of fun times!

Holiday weekend...

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to remind us to give thanx...I have lots to be thankful for, including this weekend. Drinking with one of my bests in Mesilla, thanksgiving dinners with families, hearing from friends (I love holidays-people taking time to tell you they love you...makes my heart happy!), buying and decorating a Xmas tree with my boyfriend and a baby shower. I even made a new friend, which is always one of my fav things in life.

"Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy." ~Robert Anthony

Is this me? I really worry that I don't allow myself to be happy, that I let my BS get in the way, that I'm too afraid to just be happy.....
