I think that could be the only word to describe how I am feeling these days. I have been so happy the past week that I could jump out of my skin!

It's a new year. 2010. Feels strange but I also get the feeling that its going to be a good year.

I want to thank all of you for all the love and support for my new set Veloshop in Member Review. I have been waiting a while to see this on the site and I am even more pleased to see that it is being received so well! I am trying my best to thank everyone personally but its been difficult so if I missed you please know that I am very grateful for your support.



I have worked a lot this week. It was unexpected, as I covered shifts for people, but well worth it.
I love my job. I wish I had more hours to keep me busy and, of course, for the money.

Tonight, I am staying in. I have been going out a lot lately and its starting to show. I had very loose plans to go out tonight but in hindsight I am more than thankful they were canceled. A full night of DS9 and sleep will help me rejuvenate and then I can go back at it tomorrow! I have tomorrow off and I plan to do all of the things I have been putting off for the past week: laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning my room.... There must be something wrong with me because even things like this make me unbelievably happy!

Part of my excitement this week comes from the anticipation of guests! I will have two of my closest friends here in the city by the end of next week! We are planning road trips to DC, Richmond and possibly Boston as well! It will be so nice to see handfuls of friends again! I may also be attending a New Found Glory show in February with my brother. Takes me back to the early days of high school....

With my friends will come the rest of my things. I will finally have all of my clothes here, my bed and MY BIKE!!!!! Eeek! Even though its far too cold to actually ride a bike right now, I am still looking forward to the option and nerding out about it! I may even try to tough through the cold because I miss the feeling of riding so much! And a real bed to sleep in! Fuck yeah! Mmm..... now Im thinking of my bed....

Things are much better after my last couple of blogs too. I have cut back on the drinking (a lot) and Im feeling a little more like myself. No holes in my memory to speak of! To channel my anxiety and stress (otherwise known as aggression) I have decide to get into rugby. I can't play until my insurance kicks in in the spring but I cant stop thinking about it!

So overall I am happy about a lot of things. Keeping my chin up and focusing on what makes me happy. I have handsome gentlemen to keep me distracted most of the time. A great job. Good people to hangout with and hopefully a new place to live!

Life is wonderful.
