Hi, everyone! I decided to sit down and take a decent chunk of time to type out a real update for you guys. Damn, the last time I took the time to do that was when I very first moved to the Portland area at the first of the year.
My fiance's job is going well, his store just recently made him assistant manager
Of course, he only gets a 25 cent raise and has to do the majority of his boss's work, but hey. How much can you expect from a chain of convenience stores? Poor thing has to ride his bike to and from work because the alternator in his car is shot, an even five miles there and back. He's getting some beasty calf muscles, but it's tiring him out hella.
Doesn't he look exhausted? Poor thing.
My quest for employment, however, is not going so well. I had an interview about a week ago at Subway, but it wasn't all that promising. Their hiring manager Sharise (beautiful woman, btw. She has an olive tint to her skin and one those faces just covered in freckles) told me that the position was only for a few hours a week, and she had interviews lined up for all week. I've been calling back and checking, but with how flustered I got at the interview (not used to people asking me questions about myself, honestly), I honestly don't see much coming of it. There is a BBQ opening up in Cedar Hills soon, but I have to walk to Cedar Hills to turn in the app, which is more than my poor body can handle at the moment.
Besides looking for work, all I have been doing is chilling at home, taking things one day at a time. It has been a little easier to keep my depression at bay since the sun has been coming out more frequently, that's a plus. The amount of socialization I get living with our roommate is beneficial, as well.
I decided about a week ago that psychedelic drugs are not my cup of tea. That morning S convinced me to take a single tab of acid, and damn that day passed in a blur. My muscles were all tense and shaky from the upsurge of energy, and I couldn't keep my attention on anything at all. At the risk of sounding like a party pooper, it really isn't all it's cracked up to be, neither are shrooms. I think I'll stick to my weed and caffeine. Of late I've honestly decided I don't even like drinking that much. This is only noteworthy because since I was 17 or so, I've always been a bit of a party animal. It just doesn't interest me anymore, I guess
Which is just fine.
On a more upbeat note, I finally applied to be pink. I know it's just the start and I'm not even technically a Hopeful yet, I'm still really excited, because it took almost a year to work up the nerve to apply. Dumb, I know. Someday, I'll have the confidence to just do shit and pursue life boldly, instead of always second guessing myself. That's honestly why I haven't started any kind of schooling. I feel like I really need to start something big for myself like that, I've spent the last three years in stagnation, in spit of the constant moving and stress and changes. I just don't know what. At a loss right now.
One thing I do know that I want to do is meet more of the SG's and Hopefuls from Oregon, especially the Portland Metro area! I haven't had any female friends in forever, and I'd really like to meet some new people in general. Seems kinda like it won't be happening anytime soon; I barely know anyone on this site and I can't get into my regional group unless I'm vouched in by a current member. Which sucks because I was going to join the group to meet people that live in Oregon -___- Stuck between a rock and a hard place, for sure. So if you're from the area and happen to see my blog, hmu :3 If you happen to see my blog hmu anyways, regardless of where I live.
Real quick before I go, some random things:
I have tentative plans for having a set shot by my best friend G this summer, trying to get into decent shape. I walk all of the time, but that only works a portion of my body. Anybody know any miraculous ways to tone up and put on some muscle with no equipment or padding for a wood floor?
I have some pictures of weed and cats with drink caps on their heads, but alas, SG is not letting me upload pics right now for shit. So, next blog, I promise a giant picture dump.
(Not just of cats and weed...)
Stay classy,

p.s. you're adorable!
I think a new book comes with a starter set of hand weights. It did when the book first came out, anyway.
If not any more, a fitness store should have them. You can use 1lb soup cans (unopened) until you find the proper weights. Just don't injure yourself by trying to do too much, too soon.
