Pictures will be up some time tomorrow.

I completely understand wanting to start fresh. The best advice that I can give you is to apply for jobs in far away places. People make fresh starts all of the time, sometimes it works out well, sometimes it makes them appreciate what they had back home, either way it is better than wondering what could have been. I can't remember do you have a degree?

Well I'm about halfway done from getting my major in Art. I had to quit school, because I ended up landing my current photography job and I moved out from my parents house that same year. I think more than anything I'm just bored. I used to travel a lot. I haven't been anywhere except for Mexico within the past two years and that whole experience wasn't too great, I guess I'm having withdrawals. Things are becoming monotonous and predictable. I need to learn how to accept stability but it's really hard.

Why have you stopped traveling so much? Your job?

I really want to start my project but I have to wait a few months.

Ah I see, sounds like you are in a bit of a rut. Is there any way that you could start your degree back up? Maybe you could go part time or do online courses, if your schedule is the issue.

I got all the basics out of the way. All I have to do is take all the remaining art classes... Which are very hard to find in night classes or online. Plus I work mon-fri from 8 till 5 and don't even get home till 6. The boyfriend still hasn't been able to find a job so I've been paying for the car, insurance, food, etc etc. Therefore I can't just work part time.

You get in your car, pick a direction and drive. Easy. Got a whole new life out of it too.

Do random stuff on the weekend - go out at midnight for a drive to get a burger from cross town (you don't have to eat the burger)

I went on a 14 hour drive once to pick up a computer once.

Ah that makes sense, that kind of sucks. Is there any way that you could work flex hours? Some places will let you work four days a week and others will let you start your shift early or late as long as you still work all of your hours. Your company may not do anything like that but you could take one or two so it is something to look into. You could also look into weekend classes but I know it can be exausting not to have any days off.

On the other hand his lack of job makes it easier if you do decide to move someplace else because as long as you can find a job you will be no worse off than you are now if he can't find one, that is if you want him to go with you.

Thanks, now that song is in my head.

I'm considering taking a road trip to Washingting DC to go to that March to Restore Sanity thing.

*sorry* I do have a variation of the song, same tune - I wish I were a kelpie, I'd sniff a lot of crotches....

.....yeah ignore me, it's better for your health if you do.

I'd love to go to the John Stewart March. That would be a blast! or the Stephen Colbert - keep fear alive - actually I'd go to them both, my placard would have to have a slogan on each side.

*disclaimer - I am perfectly happy being a fruitbat, and in no way, shape or form do I want to be a kelpie. I am perfectly aware that I have no musical talent at all and am hopeless with anything remotely related to music, including dancing. *

Mr Bat drove my car on a dirt road yesterday and now I can't read the front numberplate it has so much dirt on it.

I am having "woman trouble." This is way more upsetting to me than it should be.

I love laying on the couch in front of the fireplace in the evening with all the lights out. Fertile thinking environment.

Humane I love open fires. Our new house has one and I can't wait to do our first Christmas in July (roaring fire and turkey and all the trimmings). Up til now we have been playing a video of an open fire on the flatscreen (what can i say, it's all class in the Batcave.)

I'm still in shock, I'm wearing a dress to a wedding. I haven't worn a skirt for 2 years. I don't think the world is ready to see my pins.

So last night we have a BBQ for tea and I get two bottles of alcoholic cider (ambitious I know). Well after four girl mouthfuls, I'm saying "I love you" to the world.

7/8 of the bottle is in the fridge. It's going to take me a year to drink it, but I'm determined!

Going to a wedding in a few weeks and my GF said "What your driving? Stay somewhere, it's free booze."

I said "Yeah I know, but I don't drink."

She was most upset - I think because she was missing out on the free booze. I would have taken her as my date, if I didn't have to fly across the country. Plus she's not a bat, so I'd have to carry her and I'm too lazy.
