You have to leave the place
where everyone worries about rank and money,
where dogs bark and stay home.
Up here it is music and poetry
and the divine wind.

Amazing Boyfriend
I love it when people really surprise you. It’s hard to do anymore. I find the older I agent the harder it is.
But m y Dearest has done it. He absolutely surprised me.
Somehow he got me an iPad for my birthday. Never in my wildest imagination would I have ever guessed something like this! I don’t really feel worthy lol. He’s such a good guy. I don’t know how I got so lucky. Sometimes I feel like my life is a Relient K song, the ones where the singer is talking about how he’s so lucky to be part of such a great team/relationship.
I wish I knew how to better express my joy and thankfulness for everything other people do for me. I have all this thankfulness inside me that it feels like I’ll explode, but I don’t how to get it out, haha.
So, thank you, Love, for being awesome and making my life so much more fulfilled than I ever thought it would be. As they say in the Relient K song, everyday I send with you is the new best day of my life. Thank you for being so thoughtful.
And now I’ll be able to write on the go! This keyboard is so much easier to use than my phone’s, haha.
Wicked
Nachan took Han and I to see Wicked for my birthday. It was a really good present! I’m enjoying myself a lot. We barely got in on time, haha. We’re on the upper tier in the middle of the first row. As we were shuffling to our seats the lights went down. Talk about scary! Directly to the right is a long drop to the floor. We’re at intermission right now, but so far I’m really enjoying it all! The singing and acting and dancing are all great! Maybe I’ll post again after the end. Somehow I’ve managed to avoid hearing about the end.
Catch ya later!
Not With a Bang, But a Whisper
And so ends Matsuri 2012. I wasn’t there for closing this time around. We had a photo shoot at the garden for a lovely bridal couple who tipped me $5. This means I missed most of the cleanup for the booths. I feel a bit bad, not being able to toil with my coworkers, but I’m sore like someone beat me with a bat.
Matsuri was fun. I worked, played and went to a doll meet. I’m a little hesitant with regards to next week. We gave out quite a few wedding cards, so I’m sure the inquiries will go up again. Maybe we can get December weekends booked.
My online writing class started last week, so I may post some of the exercise on here.
I’ll see you around ~
Doll Profiles
Well, anyone who looks at this will notice I now have semi-doll profiles up. You can find them under the Dolls tab on the menu or, for right now, just looking at the posts below this one. The dolls are important to me, so I thought they should have a place on here as well. I’ve always wanted to get them up on my website, so now I have! Success.
Now I need to get some updated pictures and find that copy of Paint Shop Pro. Sigh. I miss Photoshop.
That’s all for now!
An Unfortunate Discovery
Over years feelings change. I see it in my parents, myself, and now my job. I’ve tried to make it a habit in recent years not to do things that make new unhappy. I’ve cut relationships and hobbies. Now I think I need to do it with my job. Sitting in this board meeting makes me so unhappy with my life. Not because of the people necessarily. But while in the office I feel slightly appreciated, at these meetings I feel like an ant. Of the smushed variety. So I think it’s time for a change. That makes me sad, because this job does offer advantages for me, but not enough to balance out the unhappiness in my life. Maybe if things were didn’t at home it would be different, but I can’t take stress on all fronts.
Now I guess I hand to figure out what to do next. I don’t suppose anyone one in my invisible audience is hiring? Haha

Smash Journal
Hannah got an e-mail from Michael’s last week. They were talking about these things. Smash Journals. Basically they’re like a a scrapbook, but more active. To me it’s about logging memories as they happen, like writing in a journal at the end of the day. Scrapbooks are where you store memories from big events. I feel like they’re a ginormous project. These Smash Journals feel much more approachable. It could just be that I LOVE journals.
Anyway, Hannah went to the store, but they were all sold out. The guy behind the counter said they’d have more tomorrow. When Hannah wants something bad enough, it gets done. So she went with mom while I was at work and picked a couple up.
These things are amazing. In their YouTube Video they show a couple of the myriad ways these journals can be used. People track their school progress, their pregnancy progress, showcase their doodles. You could use it to make a timeline of all the movie stub you’ve collected over the years. Your imagination and supplies are the limit. I’m creating a book of things that inspire me, or have inspired me, to feel special. Things that made me feel more than a cog in someone’s engine. Or things that have made me feel in general, good and bad.
Maybe I’ll try to post some pictures of it, haha. But you special people will probably just have to ask me to see it

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a great time tonight. May the next year be filled with happiness and new opportunities! I look forward to exploring it with you all!
