I don't play video games! : \

Peanuts--especially Snoopy, but I love all of 'em.

Goal weight, people. I have 20-30 pounds to go, and I'm totally gonna do it this year.

I don't.
Here's the thing: I was pretty much raised in California (we moved here when I was two, and my mom is a California Girl). I completed all of school, including collge, and I've lived in Northern California for approximately 27 of my 31 years.
I love it here, but I hate it here. I love how easy it is to get to a fabulous city like San Francisco, or the snow in Lake Tahoe, or Yosemite National Park. There is so much to do here. And yet the economy stinks and there is something very superficial about California. It's hard to explain.
Anyway, I've always joked that I'll end up marrying a British guy and living in England. I still hope to go back someday--I haven't quite given up on that dream. But for now, my immediate future is in California, unless I have to move out-of-state to find work.
In other words...I guess I just have to keep riding the roller coaster and see where it takes me! -
I wouldn't say I'm less naive or sheltered--that went away in college!--but just more willing to have the attitude of "I'm going to be myself, and if you like it great! If not, well, move along, then." I spent my twenties apologizing for everything, and now I intend to spend my thirties being HAPPY. Yes, I'm overweight, and yes, I can change it. Yes, I'd rather stay at home and watch movies than hang out in a bar. Yes, I have a great singing voice and I'm tired of acting humble about it. I worked hard to get where I'm at!
Part of it, too, was meeting all the "Jezzies." For example, I've never been friends with someone like you, who is so open and forthright about sexuality. While I will never feel comfortable exposing that much about myself in a public venue, it's made me realize that I don't mind if my friends are!
And (because this is already a novel and I might as well add it), when you first got to know me, I was coming out of two years of high-anxiety and depression, related to teaching high school music. It took some time to feel like myself again. This year has helped a lot. -
I think I always knew I'd end up a teacher. All through my school years, people told me I'd be a great teacher. Of course, I was a complete music nerd. It wasn't until college that I realized I could combine the love of music and the desire to be a teacher by majoring in music education.
Sometimes I think, though, that I won't always be a teacher. There might come a point where I have to leave the career. It can be stressful. -
