Been a good minute

Since I’ve updated my tumblr. Here’s the deal- life is good. I’m not really one to complain to begin with, but seriously I have nothing to say. So if you’re not really that interested in knowing small details, then this is where you should stop reading, and know that I’m alive, living, breathing, and doing quite well.

Work is going smoothly. I’m applying for a higher position that my boss is backing me up on (which is AWESOME). School is… well, school. I mean…. I’m done in three weeks and haven’t started on any of my research let alone know if the thesis I want to argue is what I’m going to stick to. I’m also not really thinking about it- so it isn’t really stressing me out as it probably should. I don’t know what’s going on- my focus isn’t really there. A friend of mine that was in the same courses as me for last semester and is now in different courses this semester is experiencing the same thing. It must be Spring. Yes. I blame happy Spring.

And then there’s the boyfriend. Yeah, it’s pretty much been amazing. It’s like everyday makes me more excited and happy to be sharing this relationship with him. This week I’m flying out to Chicago to meet his parents. We’ve already done dinner with mine and my brothers actually like him. Woah. Finally for the first time ever do I have a guy in my life that my brother actually wants to hang out with. That’s pretty awesome. I know this is cliche and cheesy but this guy is absolutely perfect for me… and I think he feels the same way about me (well, he kinda has already said it to me). We’re the right amount of nerdy, dorky, cheesy, fun, adventurous, and compatible for each other. It’s bizarre.

I could go on talk about him. THAT’S how much I’m digging this.

So all in all, everything is peachy-keen. Chicago this week, Coachella next month, Edward Sharpe and the Magnificent Zeros on Star Wars Day, mini-vacation at the end of May, maybe Coldplay, and I’m trying to score some last minute Thrice tickets… and who knows what else. Things are shaping up to be pretty awesome. I just need to see my friends more (hint, hint).This whole about-to-turn-25 thing is not scaring me at all. If anything, I’m ready :)

Laying Low.

Still laying low with everything and super busy. I love it. I relish the thought of being stressed out and exhausted. Keeping me busy is how I function.

Yesterday (or last night) I went out on a date. It was kinda my first, “first date” of the year. While chatting with the guy, I realized that I wasn’t really interested in him. Sure, we had a good conversation, but I work with students all day- I know how to keep a convo intriguing. I didn’t see any sort of chemistry and realized that he may/may not have also. Idk, long story short- it made me see that it’s probably not him, but seriously me.

I’m laying low with the dating scene. Going on dates are fun, and it’s always interesting to see the different personalities and habits of the human kind, but I honestly just don’t care to show interest or settle for anything outside of what I’m looking for. What am I looking for? No clue. Haven’t found it. But I’m not looking, also. I’m not really giving guys a chance, and it’s because I’m just uninterested at the moment. I don’t need a significant other, and I actually don’t currently want one, I guess. This doesn’t mean I’m going hoochi-mama loca… I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing- staying connected with friends I love, spending time with family I love, and doing everything that stresses me out (which I love). Just going with the flow and being my honest self with those that I care to be around.

Real, sincere, true love. That’s what’s going on.
