Fourth time is a charm?


So I hope that this post actually works. I have 2 posts that I will put on the same post here. Post. Post. I think there may be some repetitive thoughts, but that's because I am really bad with computer technology.

This was last weeks:

I'm sort of lost or really open to new possibilities. I don't really have a plan and I'm sick of talking about it. I'm not sure I want to publish my thoughts and feelings so publically, but maybe someone will find it and find some comfort from it. And that's grreat. I've always wanted to start a blog and also have thought about publishing my memoirs (pronounced memwahs) as my very long list of future accomplishments written in high school has come back to haunt me/re-inspire me? So here it is. My very first blog. Yesterday, I called a customer out at the deli for winking at me. He became very defensive and told me that in different cultures (b/c he is half Central American) people greet each other diffently (i.e. kissing, hugging...) and that he is very happily married to his wife of 25 years. When I thanked him for informing me on such matters, he turned back to his conference call on his cell phone and paid for his gas. He then ordered a greasy gyros and became very friendly (in a non-dirty old man way) and left for his cardiologist appointment across the way. I was empowered and it felt good to finally stand up for myself after a very sexually harassing summer. Maybe I'll write about this some other day. Okay, that wasn't so bad.

And the second one...

Hi. The title of this blog adequately describes that I have already attempted to start a blog and then through my incompetence in computer technology and directions lost it all. So, I will rephrase my previous first post, which was done about 2 weeks ago. Things have changed since then. I made a list when I was 16 of all the things I hoped to do with my life. You see, I'm a Gemini. I have decided that my career is to be a Gemini. And so far, it's not too shabby. Here's a little synopsis:

During high school, I associated myself with mainly artists and had very little interest in anything else otherwise. Except that my mother implanted the idea that I could be a nurse to support myself and still be an artist. But, I started college at the illustrious University of TN in my hometown of Knoxville as an undecided liberal arts major. Then, after 2 years of that, I switched over to Nursing, but not before attempting to become a German major. I dropped out and started working at an animal shelter, got fired and decided to go back to school to become a Veterinarian. I did that (and also completed several crosswords to pass the very long and boring lectures). I found a job in Brooklyn when I graduated from UTK and worked there for 2 years. Brooklyn was awesome, but the true goal was to join the Peace Corps. I am working at my sister's deli and at my friends cake and cupcake bakery. I love it all. And now I await for my assignment with the Peace Corps.
Shit. There's more but...enough for now. Yowzer. Above is a picture of me at around 3 A.M. at my little sister's apartment after her Halloween party where I dressed up as the owner of the gas station where my sister's deli lives. I am also verbose and haven't written in a very long time.
