::I am 27.1.03 ( 09:37 ) * Interesting Start. I've already left the house without my work clothes, turned back to get them, realized that I've also locked my keys inside the house. I then proceeded to wait for 30 minutes in the little alcove we have inside our front door, called my roommate to see if she could come from work and let me in the house, called work to tell them I'll be late (but I'll be on time because the VSB had a snow day and can take me to work), and had a nice 20 minute chat with my Mom while trying to stay warm...Why doesn't stuff like this happen in the summer? And I still have the whole day ahead of me... ::Val:: ( 08:19 ) * Hair Cut. I'm getting my hair cut after work today! Maybe I'll borrow Mom's digital camera and post a picture of it--but that's only if I have enough time before church, so no promises. Dance Team. And tonight is the first night of the kids dance team that we're starting at church. So, I get to be prepared to answer all the questions of the parents. Fun... But I finally get keys today. ::Val:: 20.1.03 ( 22:30 ) * Great Day. Had a breakfast date this morning with the VSB. He also gave me a rose (red!) and took me to work afterwards. And then, I went to see a movie (Drumline) with my mother after work; she also came over and fixed the temperature on our water heater (hot showers again!). Then, I talked to Kate on the phone and with Skip in person (apologizing again for my crass comment, Skip...). And now I'm getting ready to write...great day. ::Val:: 18.1.03 ( 13:25 ) * www.howstuffworks.com is for the little kid who never stops asking "Why?" ::Val:: 11.1.03 ( 17:00 ) * Loved Friends. Two of my absolute favorite people in the world are visiting me today. Can you imagine how absolutely thrilled I am? I bet you can't... ::Val:: 7.1.03 ( 09:27 ) * Bad Night. I had one last night. However, surprisingly enough, it had nothing to do with not joining the Marine Corps. It caught me off guard because I haven't had a worry myself sick night in about a month now (that's sad isn't it? when a month between these things is considered a long time). It was rough, really rough. I'm not even sure how or when I managed to fall asleep; I was just very surprised this morning when my alarm rang; it woke me up rather than just surprising me in between one sob and the next. I'm attempting to shake it off this morning. It should go well: I have my Bible and a giftcard to Barnes & Noble... [grin] ::Val:: 6.1.03 ( 22:57 ) * Different Lives. I realized today that in about two weeks I would have been leaving for Marine Corps boot camp. I'm happy that I'm staying in Rochester, really I am. But, honestly, I would have been just as happy as a Marine; I know myself well enough to say that. This is one of those times when I can actually see the two different paths my life could have taken, how one choice changed me forever... ::Val:: 3.1.03 ( 00:17 ) * 2002 In 20 Words. (Idea from the Mayfly Project.) Here we go: wanted to run. stayed. stopped dancing. moved out. grew up. wrote. lived. laughed. trusted. loved. dancing for me this time. ::Val:: 2.1.03 ( 19:11 ) * Happy New Year! A day late, but I've been busy. A lot has changed with me. A lot. I've finally managed to dig myself out of the funk that haunted my steps all throughout 2002. A funk which had me convinced I needed to pack up and leave Rochester immediately and, also, that I wasn't important to certain people in my life. The "must leave Rochester, now!" feeling is gone (thanks to re-connecting with some people who continually remind me exactly why I fell in love with this city in the first place) and the "I'm not important" bit is gone too. That's not necessarily due to those certain people making me feel anymore accepted, but because I have a friend who makes me laugh until I cry and is excited to see me every single time we're together. It's also gone because of the people previously mentioned who are always calling my phone, inviting me out and vetoing my "I'm not feeling social" responses. It's also gone because of other friends who've gone out of there way in the last couple of months to demonstrate to me just how much they love me. And, last but not least, there's a Very Special Boy involved who has had some very late nights the last couple of weeks in an effort to show me just how much he cares. New Year's Resolutions. Be more responsible (in a lot of different senses, none of which I feel like elaborating on). Realize that some people are only in my life for a season and if it feels like they aren't there for me anymore, God still is. Worry less (I actually made some serious progress on this one yesterday). Get back into dancing shape. Grow with God. Go back to school. Get a new job. Let people know that I love them. That's about it, except for my writing resolutions. ::Val:: |
