Makin' Moves!!

Sooooo... I know it has been FOREVER since I blogged and that SUCKS but I have just been so crazy "Makin' Moves!" - literally. I have officially moved back in with my family, back to MD - somethin' I swore I'd never do - ever! Not that it has anything to do with my family - they are the shit - the coolest people ever! Anyone who knows them, and knows me - knows THAT. They really are great, honestly. Buuuuut... after making the brave move to NYC all alone at 18 - I have made it completely on my own for 4 years. I am completely self-sufficient, making my own money, going to school - and having a great time partying and going WHERE I want, WHEN I want, with WHO I want. At any hour I can hop on a bus, train, or hop in a cab, and go wherever my heart takes me... or a happy hour calls my name =). SO farewell NYC, but only for a short while.... <3

Now I am back to living in the boondocks where there are fields of cows, and horses, and most disturbingly- I know what crop is in season, its just SO different. The boredom hasnt quite hit me yet - I have been busy partyin with my people and job hunting, so it has not been too painful yet. The people are what keep me sane - I still have friends, great friends, 4 years later who make my life worth living every day and make me thank God every day for them. They are there to remind me who I was, and who I am. I think that 3 months from now when I go back to NYC, people may not fully recognize me lol - accent is already coming back - YEEE-HAW (eek. sorry - a slight case of southern terrets lol).

Anyhoo - it is good to be home. I have already gone on the smoke rides I've been missing - windows rolled down - rock music blastin on the radio - views that let you know there is a God (took pic on the left during our ride, but it doesnt do it justice) - and great friends on all sides of em rockin out and singing along - its the simple things you really miss. I have already been out to teh local bars and seen most people from my graduating class of course - and ventured into DC to club it up and drunkenly wander into the Embessey Suites at 3am so we can get a hotel room to crash and smoke in lol. I have already had at least 3 "wine-o" gatherings with my 2 bffs - "the ashleys" where we go through a couple bottles of wine with munchies and plenty of catching up and gossip out on my deck - it's glorious. Probably my favorite times are just with those two. And of course I have been with my ex alot =) - the one I always kept in the back of my mind. He is such a great guy and who doesnt love being with the person who is like your best friend all at the same time. He is actually talking about moving up to NY a few months after I go back and getting a place of his own, so he is looking into jobs up there as we speak. He knows how I am - and assures me he has wanted to move to the city and loves it there and is moving there for him - I would just be a bonus. He knows I wont let him move in with me haha no way! Even if we do get back together, I like my space, and to live with my girlies!!! =) ps. I miss Kristin =(

OK so I guess that is it for now... still on the job hunt! I am bartending and waitressing at BWB - Buffalo Wings and Beer sports bar but it is just not all that poppin and I am not getting enough shifts so I just landed a bartending spot at the Mad River in Federal Hill in Baltimore and also one night a week at Little Havanas - my favorite place in the whole wide world! *This pic --->

was taken of my new city from the outside patio at Havanas - loove it - it really is, where I belong. <3
