Wow, it's been a while since I last did a blog post...then again, life has been pretty busy the past few months. Ok, where to start?
I quit my old job at Lackmann Culinary Services at AU to join the CG (then again, military life DOES have its perks, and adventure is one of them). Went through two months of hell and back (ok, not really Hell...but it felt like it the first couple of weeks before it eased down a bit and was semi-normal) in basic before graduating on the 25th of May as a Seaman (E-3 in pay grade for those that wish to know) and had some time off to be with familny before I did the most crazy of things and drove cross country to get to California for my advancement schooling. Of course, this is getting me back into what I was doing in AU (cooking, but with pastry and baking classes added to what I already know), so it's nothing new to me.
Also, I got engaged to the man of my life a week prior to me graduating from basic, so I'm kinda excited--however, this lead to my parents not being too keen on the idea of the rush on the engagement part (however, the fiance and I both agreed to wait till I get stationed at my first unit and settled in before discussing any wedding ideas and so forth...plus, I kinda do not NEED the stress that follows with planning a wedding THIS soon after being engaged.), but they're slowly getting past it and trying to not get me mad at them for their opinions ((hey, they are entitled to that, which I'm not going to take it away from them))
Well, after all that is said and done, I'm sure that things are starting to fall into place with what I have to do the next couple of years or so...let's just hope that it's not as bad as I tend to ponder on whenever I overthink situations like this.

Getting Back to the Jist of Things
Ok, I guess you can that I need to kick myself into gear if I want to be able to write. Then again, I blame my lack of inspiration to what I've been through a lot these past few months. Of course, I can thank the movie 'Eat Pray Love' for the third time to really tell me that I have to get going and get my act together if I want to get going with how I think and whatnot in the upcoming days. Then again, I really want to go do what Liz did and just travel for a whole year and just deal with it by experiencing new things each and every day.
I guess, the first order of business will have to be getting some ideas down and start with slowly getting my ideas down on paper and hopefully that might help with me getting creative again...and hopefully, I can find my balance. And, someday, I might be able to see my name in bookstores...well, I can dream, can't I?

Catching Up on Things...Bringing in the New Year
OK, first post of the new year, yay...note the sarcasm. What can I say? There has been a lot on my mind and I feel that I should probably make it a resolution to be on here a little bit more and broadcast my thoughts so that I don't end up having a mental breakdown due to all of that being bottled up. SO...
Where did I leave you all off last time? Oh, that's right: It was just around Thanksgiving. Anyway, my muse is now single (which is quite interesting, seeing that he has always been on my mind--even if I'm preoccupied with 'something else') and I have come to the conclusion that I want that to work out for both of us, in the sense of being able to see where our relationship goes once we meet in person--yes, we haven't met face to face yet, but we have been able to talk on Skype, on AIM, on the phone, etc. Personally, I am a little nervous because not only is he sweet and funny...but he's good looking too. I worry that he might take one good look at me and say that he changed his mind about meeting me and leave. That was the case a few months back--now, I just am a little nervous, that's all...call it a 'regular case of nerves', if you like.
What else to talk about? Hmm...now I'm stumped, and I usually have something to talk about once I get a post running...geesh, I might be getting old, lol.

Vetern's Day, Summer Memories, and the Brink of the End of the Year
Yes, the title is a RIDICULOUS long ass one, but hear me out: it's just a summary of what I've been up to as of late, dear readers.
So the rest of summer came and gone easily as I try to settle into the routine that is a single's lifestyle and staying at home. I did, however, enjoyed my trip to Parsippany, NJ, for the Salute to Supernatural Convention 2010 and it was amazing, to say the least. I got to meet the actors of the TV show (hell, Misha Collins and Matt Cohen are hilarious when put in the same room...if you were there, you know what I'm talking about) and made new friends with other SPN fans. It was a lot of fun and I cannot wait for 2011, when I'll be returning with my high school friend (the one that I give credit to my writing nowadays). What else? Oh, yes--Jared Padalecki will be present in next year's con...talk about being a HUGE Sam fangirl, lol.
That was the beginning of July. August came and gone as the end of summer drew in the beginning of the new school semester and a new year at work. Alas, the good days died as soon as a new management team was established in Post Hall...and believe me, I think that the day shift, which is where I now am a part of, was close to seeing red with the manager in charge.
September came and went along with October. October was a good month, seeing that my birthday was mostly peaceful and just what I wanted. Halloween was a good holiday, seeing that I went to a few parties and had fun with friends on Halloween day itself. Now, into the middle of the month of November, the days grow colder and shorter. Along with that went the new manager and the day shift ended up with one of the head managers of the whole establishment. Mind ya, he is a great manager and the day shift has seen less red nowadays.
HOWEVER...I met a new muse--yes, by that I mean a really GOOD LOOKING muse. He is in my thoughts every waking moment and it is funny that I occupy his thoughts as well. However, seeing that my muse is currently in a relationship and overseas to serve the country that he loves, we had decided to take things a day at a time and see where it leads in a year from when he departed the US to head into the sands of the danger zone of Iraq. But, seeing that his department is mostly dealing with the media, he has been out of harm's way mostly. But, he is good looking, nevertheless...and the conversations we have whenever he's on...my, I have to keep my head clear of thoughts that might lead me back into the gutter every time I think of him. Comes to show just how much he's on my mind, my cherished readers.
So, I pray that he'll make it home next September in good spirits and pray that the rest of this year will be cheerful as Thanksgiving and Christmas are looming around the corner. Until then, may you all have a safe journey to wherever your path leads you.

Internship's Hardship
Now, as it was been a while since I was posted, would be a good time to talk about the INS and outs of interning at a newspaper. First off, I would love to thank the muse at the moment (my dad) for getting the notion of me interning at LI Herald, a community newspaper published every week. One thing I like to point out right now is the assignment of a local that is a part of the US Army Reserves, currently on Active Duty. Reading over the notes and whatnot makes me appreciate the men and women that serve our country. And it makes me wonder just how much of a story there is on this particular man, recently promoted to the rank of Colonel.
Another one is the mere fact that I have to see how this internship will teach me in the next two months. Who knows what this internship will shape on how I view the news of local communities?

The ramblings of an angry writer
It only seems appropriate that the title should fit my current mood. My latest muse, whom I have kept in contact with for a while now, has gone and done something that I should be happy in his favor but really feel betrayed in some sort of way. Wondering as to why I think so? Because of his choice of a new girlfriend, whom I feel is not in the range of what he looks for in a girlfriend. Not that she isn't nice and all; for I had the pleasure of knowing her for a while prior to my friend "supposedly" going out with said woman. It's just the notion of her not meeting his needs of having someone being there for him not for the physical part of a relationship but also for the emotional and mental part of it as well.
Keep in mind, I have confided my feeligs of this union only to his best friend, whom I'll call Dr. Frasier, for his friend is my own personal therapist (and I have to give him credit for it too. Heis such a good friend too). And Frasier has told me, after asking if I seemed to be the 'jealous' ex like Julia Roberts' character in "My Best Friend's Wedding"--only problem would be that Roberts was the best friend and not an ex grilfriend-- that, and I quote, "You're looking out for him". With that said, I should move on and play it to see if this relationship should last. I feel, in my gut (and normally I don't have nghtmares of a little girl calling out for me right before I end up on a car accident in the nightmare) that it will not last, although it nghtmares last...who knows?
So, my fellow readers of this blog, do I sound like
an ex that'll do everything to make him miserable??? Sadly, I am one of the few people that is very laidback and not strict with guys when it comes to relationships...

Post Christmas/New Years
Greetings for the New Year! I hope that everyone's holidays were good and that you all had a good time with loved ones. Now, we are back to work and starting the new year on a clean slate. It turns out that I still am working at two jobs currently, so hence the reason for my inactivity on this blog since the last post. Let's see...I made note of what movies in the movie list I saw recently, which included "Sherlock Holmes"...excellent job, RDJ, for the well-portrayed literary detective! You have my approval on the performace.
Anyway, work starts up at the college in a couple of days and I'm a little nervous on how that will work out, with me working two jobs again AND an internship on top of it too...looks like my days off will probably consist of me doing housework (i.e. laundry and all the daily routines), sleeping, and doing my internship...lovely. But I'm excited about my internship, don't get me wrong. It's towards my major for my BA and that's what really counts for me.
