Vacation, All I've Ever Wanted!

I'm going home tomorrow! Too excited for words.

My computer wire was shipped home (as expected) so on Friday I will have access to my laptop again and I won't have to come to the library to compose a post. Not that I don't LOVE the library but writing personal stuff in public was never my thing.

A lot has happened in the last couple of days that I have been dying to write about:

1) As of yesterday I am no longer an intern at a publishing house. After 3 months, can you believe it, of throbbing members and passion pearls I have successfully finished my gig. And I didn't even have to come up with some lame excuse to get out of it. I emailed them last week about the close of the internship and within days they had another chick, Lauren, to fill my space. I thought it would be a weird and awkward goodbye. I wasn't the most ambitious intern. I was quiet, sleepy most days, and I ate so much candy there it was ridiculous. But when I was fully present, I did work my ass off, even with all the craziness that is, and was, Crazy Lady.

They bought me a card and some cookies and told me how much they would miss me there. I also walked away with some free books, published by them of course, and I have at least a months work of trashy books to read. That's a job well done if I say so myself. It was weird. I was actually sad and happy to be leaving. I mean 3 months ago I was about to run for the hills, but I am glad that I stuck with it (thanks frogboots!). I mean I still think publishing is a boring career and I would rather be a writer than a desk sitter. But I learned something there.

2) I still hate the new girl at work.

3) I broke up with McAbs. So technically we were never going out. And I don't even think he knew there was this thing going on between us. But I have made a decision to not let his hotness rule my life. Or something like that.

4)Now that I am sans internship, I will actively pursue my interest in film production and writing. It's going to be hard, I may feel desperate and depressed all over again. But now I can continue to pursue my dreams. Yeah? Dreams

4.5) Me and a girl at work made playlists for each other and exchanged mix cd's this monday. I have never made one for someone before, or more importantly I have never had one made for me outside of my brother throwing crap tracks together. But there was something so personal about her putting together 15 songs she thought I would love. And I did. I am now obsessed with this idea of mix cd's. If you want one. Let me know. Christmas is coming up and I am feeling musical. Think about it.

5) Finally, and after my 9 day holiday I will officially be paying rent in my new house...I mean room-in-a-house. I am nervous, scared, thrilled, and worried. But now i can extend my time in New York without the threat of my aunt kicking me out. I like it here, even when it sucks huge throbbing members. I like it here more than I care to admit.

I can't wait until I have my computer back. This library stint sucks. You'd think at 10:34 in the morning the place would be empty. But no, everyone is here. EVERYONE.

Until Friday

Just glancing at your music of the month on here indicates such excellent taste... and you've never handed out mix cds!! It's such fun. You should try and get together some people for a mix cd party sometime, where everyone brings a stack of discs and you trade. It's badass.

And speaking of... I'm over due for a new mix cd myself. I wonder if "mix cd as christmas cards" is a workable concept, hmm...

Glad things have taken a turn for the better! As soon as your in a private location, you must spill the goods on McAbs, the piggyback ride and why you are officially "over him", but perhaps not really.

"throbbing members." JESUS.

i never knew you'd never gotten a mix CD before. you'd have been bombarded with them for the last three years if I *had* known. as soon as you provide me with an address for your new room-in-a-house, expect a housewarming CD to arrive.....

and i'll ALWAYS accept mix CDs.

and to Jon: I think "mix cds as christmas cards" is a freaking FABULOUS idea.

enjoy your vacation!!!!!

the mixed cd christmas card is a brilliant idea. I'm so going to do that.I'm going to make it personal, and I'm going to decorate it all christmasy and i'm way too excited about this. Thanks Jon!

i love it when someone puts thought and time into picking out songs for me, but i don't remember the last time anyone has done so :(

So that's four down for the great mix cd exchange. Awesome! I will have to come up with the specifics regarding the exchange in an upcoming post!
