I submitted my Visa application today, so assuming it all gets approved, 6-8 weeks from now I'll be packing up my life (again) and moving to Chicago.
Woah, conflicting emotions galore! I've had a pretty shitty week, and submitting the forms made me feel so good. I'm so excited about getting over there, working, starting the next phase of my life, having a 'proper' relationship...

Ok... I might have got a bit prematurely excited about the job in Chicago. Yes, i did get offered one, but I'm not sure if it's exactly what I want. 
I am just sooooo desperate to get to Chicago and be with Paul again that the offer of anything at all was really great! But apart from being with my boyfriend the second priority is...

everything is peaches. I'm treating myself right by not going out or drinking for the next month and a half to heal the bod quickly and just got the OK from the doc to begin some cardio and other exercises such as sit-ups, etc that don't involve load bearing with the arm. So I'll be able to get that going so I don't completely loose my physique while healing...
In other news I'm having my last tat session today in about an hour. It's been a long time comin'. That's about it. How's it goin' for you?

Weekend was quiet and I was sick, but i'm just about...

Ohhh.... see, I didn't realize your boy lives in Chicago. I've done the long distance thing before, and I suck at it. You're a better woman than I am.
Even if you did have to do an internship, at least you know some people over here, so it won't be as difficult for you. And honestly, I had the best time when I was doing my internship and working a crappy mall job. My second day at my internship, I helped remove a golf ball-sized cyst from the back of some guy's head. Good times.

I want the world.

I want to lock it all up in my pocket it's my bar of chocolate.
Give it to me, now.
Okay, Chicago people need to give me a job. Please? I'll do anything, within some boundaries of reason
Otherwise my boy might decide to fill my beautiful apartment with beautiful girls who are not me. And...

Well I kind of need an "ok" to bother you w/ emails...I don't want to push you away even farther you know?
dookiejones:
Are you ok?
So I went to my first SG Hookup last night, met some cool new people. It was at a bar I'd never been to before, and probably never would have if not for SG. I think it's time I expanded my horizons a bit.
I don't think I was drunk... altho I did manage to trip over nothing in my bathroom when I got home...

Is it daytime there? I'm going to bed 'cause it's midnight and my cat has been on there long enough to warm up my spot. Wish you were here.
Naw, have a good day, mate! I start school in one week! Kick ass!

Ok..so how did it go...inquiring minds want to know...?
daweenis:
good...
Unfortunately Ikea is a pretty good haul from the city--it's out in Schaumburg, and there's not really any way to get there by public transport either (not that you'd be able to get all your stuff back, anyway, if there was--although they do rent vans). Hopefully you'll find a generous car-having friend before too long.
Hope all is well.
