update

It's so great to come back to this thing months later and realize that I definitely go through phases of crazy. And just so there is no more cause for confusion, let me just say I have wild mood swings when I blog since I only blog if i'm super bored (like now) or super some other emotion like irritated.

So quick update for the fam. Got three internships. One at a music mag called Blur for graphic design, basically I get to lay out the entire magazine and perhaps even some advertisements for local businesses that buy ad space. That one runs for 3 issues or 12 weeks. Luckily only that long, more on that later

Second is doing PR at the UGA College of Veterinarian Medicine. That one is ... duh PR. So that's writing articles or a newsletter, putting together website, doing the whole social media thing, video for the school, promotions for alumni and whatnot. Anyway, it's for a year, until December -- later in the spring is a possibility (tho slim) of getting paid a little for my time there. The lady seems super nice and her associate is also a military brat so that is always a common bond. It should be good. I might even get some event planning experience later on too.

Third is marking and promotions at this magazine called Southern Distinction. Nice magazine, like thick glossy paper like National Geographic. Of course their stories are all ad-driven which in newspapers would be so frowned upon, but hey, ya know, it's a business and I dont want to be a reporter anyway. And shes apparently putting me in charge of the other promotions interns cuz she needs a second set of eyes and someone to keep everyone on track. So, awesome managerial experience! That's also till December. This lady is sort of intense, but I think she has a way of doing things and once I learn it, it won't be intense.

All three of these things are running at the same time soooo I'm going to be working like 55 hours a week between that and work. So for three months I'll be like... wooo, well it will be interesting to say the least.

Added bonus, I also have a client, NetStream Consulting who is having me do their marketing materials. Paid! Woot. It'll be some nice spending money in any case, since I dont know when they'd be actualy paying me. I thought it would be short term but it looks like they are going to want some ongoing graphic work and they have some longer term goals in mind for it. So, that's awesome for me. I'm a freelancer!

I also had a dream that I was pregnant and it was a little girl just like I wanted, and no, it wasn't John's. I actually don't know whose it was father-wise, but anyway, she was perfect. I still woke up freaked out cuz the baby was "kicking" or something and I must have been sleeping on my fist or something. Anyway.

John and I are fine. I'm in a content with him phase, so much better than the, I dont want to be with him anymore phase. I still dont want to marry him. I sorta wish I was closer to that stage of my life though now. I've determined my ideal guy doens't exist or is gay... so ho hum what's a girl to do? My ideal guy would have the following loves -- or at least 4/6? : (in no particular order)

- traveling
- reading
- cooking/eating
- 80s music
- the outdoors
- trying new things (anything from swing dancing to sky diving)

My ideal guy also would need to be on the same page as me financially, frugal but still having finer things sometimes. He would need to be willing to equally share in the relationship, ie, I'm not always doing all the cooking, shopping, cleaning, etc. (like I do now... erg). I suppose we should have similar ideas on child rearing and how many kids and when. I really only want one, but I would be okay with two. No more than two though, especially if I dont get married till like 28 (ugh old). And he would have to know how to be romantic without being over the top, ie hand holding, door getting, flower buying, but not all the time, just enough to keep it special. And we would have to have sort of compatible love languages (please reference five love languages book for details). I am service and quality time, in that order. Also, ideally he would come from a good genetic line so that my baby girl will be exactly as I imagine her to be.

When someone find this person, I get first dibs, thanks.

That's it, now I gotta go be a good "wifey" and make dinner....
