dreamingpixelsI've made a lot of new friends in the past 24 hours. Which is pretty awesome, I think. I have no problem with new friends! It gives me even more motivation to post more often.
I'm trying to think of the best way to introduce myself to the new people. I suppose directing everyone to the about me tag might work, even though there's some ridiculous old stuff under that tag too. But it's still who I was and who I am, so yeah. If anyone's uncomfortable with it, they can feel free to leave.
But anyway, yeah. Welcome to the insanity. Make yourself at home.
So, I got married almost a month ago, and it's still sinking in. It doesn't feel like anything's changed between me and my husband (Bryan, he's got his own tag, if you're curious to read about him), but that could be a good thing. I don't know. We're just living our lives like we always have together. I ended up switching graduate programs, which is good for me - no huge amounts of depression or panic attacks yet from forcing myself to do something I'm unsure of every day. (I went from Elementary Education, which I was good at in theory but not so much in practice, to Educational Technology, which I rock at.) I'm working three jobs, and I only get paid for two of them. I think about quitting the two I get paid for (office assistant and computer lab monitor) and just working the job I don't get paid for, but that'd be a bad idea, since I need money to, y'know, live. And pay for internet.
I feel like I'm still learning about what it is to be me. I'm socially anxious and awkward (you should see me in person, I'm a mess, haha), I'm territorial (and didn't really realize it until recently), I drink too much coffee, I listen to a crazy assortment of music, and I just generally do what I like and dress how I want (when I'm not at work, anyway), and say 'screw it' to everyone's opinions. Sure, I still deal with the 'last kid picked for kickball' syndrome, even in friggin' grad school, but what do I care? After this year, 75% of these people will be completely gone from my life. And that works for me.
