A few things that are weighing on my mind -- some heavily, some not so much -- at this exact moment in time:
- I'm going to Bloggers in Sin City! Nothing like hopping on the Vegas bandwagon at the last possible minute. Kerri, you're my savior and I can't wait to sleep with you. I mean...
- Speaking of bloggers, I met a fabulous one the other night for tapas in Santa Monica. Amber, you're lovely and so is your accent and now I have a (legit) reason to visit Louisiana and I miss you already.
(L to R: me, Amber, Jennifer and Sierra)
- I need to stop sleeping until the early afternoon. It's unhealthy, makes me feel lazy and stops now.
- Venti sugar free vanilla Americanos with 2 inches of steamed soy from Starbucks are the nectar of the Gods. However, if you're going to take a cue from me and try one (which I seriously suggest you do), dump out a little and add some half and half. Thank me later.
- Last night's Glee gave me one giant singasm, and I'll leave it at that.
- The second the book below is dropped at my doorstep (any day now!), Operation Ali's Going to Europe This Coming Fall, Dammit is in effect. A deadline of sorts to stop just talking the talk, if you will.
- I'm not quite sure how to explain this feeling I've been having for who knows how long. It's by no means depression, but it definitely possesses similar qualities. Coming up on the ripe old age of 24 (sarcasm people, sarcasm), I find myself feeling even more pressure (if that's even possible) to figure out my life. My life. Could it get any broader? Apartment, job, relationship, yadda freakin' yadda. All 3 of those couldn't be more up in the air if I wanted them to. Well, actually, the job situation becomes even more intangible when I'm in between jobs, which makes total and complete sense. And it is such a stressor for me, as I'm sure it is for so many people, especially right now, in such an unstable job market. But I can only speak for myself. My point is, I am such a cliche 23-year-old at the moment. And I'm not sure I like that. All the more reason for me to get cracking on the Europe thang.
Happy Hump Day!

I'm getting ready to watch Glee....I can't wait!
Ok, so on a serious note...I've been where you are. Jobless and quite unhappy and unsure of where to go next. I think Europe is a good start, because you know what? One day in the future, you're going to be in a job and a relationship and wish that you could have just a week of sleeping til noon and not having any serious responsibilities. :) I'm speaking from experience, here, love. :) Things always work on in the end, no matter how impossible it may seem.
First, yes, Glee was really good last night! Secondly, I know what you mean about that weird unsettled feeling. Long long ago when I was 23 (haha), I recall having a similar feeling. Like a mid-twenties crisis. So don't worry, it will pass. And in the meantime, stop putting so much freaking pressure on yourself! :) xoxo
