UGH

So it's been a while, guess I should update this thingy.



So, I just went to Lake Chelan with Becca, and we had SO much fun! We swam, played mini-golf, went out in a paddle boat, and, brace yourselves, "got our tans on." God I hate that phrase. Anyhow, we had SUCH a good time, coming back to reality was like a slap in the face, which I like to give, but hate to receive. Heh. Dirty.



Upon my return, I broke up with my boyfriend. Things hadn't been going so well, and I decided that a clean break was what I needed. So that happened, and that's really all I'm going to say about that.



I was also recently introduced to the author Jennifer Lancaster. I am now convinced that either I am her doppelganger (only Democratic, not Republican), or I am somehow magically related to her. Every time I read something of hers, I laugh out loud every thirty seconds. Not necessairily because of something she says, but how she says it. Exactly like I would! I think my favorite part of her is that in one of her books, she describes how she traded her lunch for a coach briefcase that a Hobo had. Basically, she convinced him that her lunch was going to be more beneficial to him than the Coach briefcase that was clearly "Hot" because her lunch had crack rocks in it. What were the crack rocks? you ask. Well, they were Hot Wasabi Peas. This is why I love her. She has a website that's http://www.jennsylvania.com/. Everyone should check it out.



I just found out I hit both of my branch goals, which doubled this month, for work today. Go me! Oh, and, I'm moving back to Downtown, and getting the hell out of Chinatown! Thank God! In two weeks I'll be back at 5th and Union! Woot!



If one more person tells me that I need to get them a checking account, I'm going to slap them; eg. Leonard. Leonard is the new teller at the International District. I want to slap him. He's very irritating, and he's late every day. He also went to Prep and commenced, which basically means that you take your senior year at Seattle University, and can graduate college a year early. It's the private school's equivalent of Runing start. Anyhow, when I told him that I did not do Matteo Ricci (the program that it's called), he basically looked down his nose at me, as did most of the kids who commenced. Here's the thing though: I know of only TWO people who successfully commenced from Prep to SU, and actually passed. My brother failed out, Leonard failed out, and many others failed out with the added pleasure of become drug addicts or having to go to rehab for one thing or another (what up class of 2002!). Seriously, I can only think of TWO people who made it through the program successfully. So Leonard, Bite Me.



So I'm starting to freak myself out. I'm actually missing school! Who woulda thunkit? I'm thinking of going back like, next quarter, and I'm really starting to worry myself. Who am I, and what have I done with myself? Although, I am really close to finishing my finance degree. We'll see though.



Lately I've been spending a lot of time with my brother, which has been really cool. We were never really close growing up, except from the ages of 1-8. He's two years older than me, and then there's the whole gay thing. He had his own life, I had mine. So we were never really that close. But it's really cool that we're hanging out so much lately. It makes me happy. Plus, he's a total different person when my parents aren't around. He's completely relaxed, and he's happy and actually fun! He gets so uptight when my parents are around, it's really wierd, like he's still trying to ask for forgiveness for being gay. At least, that's what I'm likening it to. And it's not even like my parents care anymore. They're founders of a gay advocacy group for Catholic parents. If that doesn't say "we love our gay son" than I don't know what does. Speaking of Gay, I got to walk in my first parade! Sure, it was the Gay Pride Parade, and everyone probably thought I was a lesbian, but still! I had so much fun! And walking with my brother was really fun too, because he's pretty much a celebrity in Seattle's Gay community. You ever find yourself in a gay bar, you just tell them you know Sister Faye, and you'll at least get one free drink, I promise. It may be fruity and pink, but damnit, you know a celebrity.

Okay, this is a really long post, so I'm going to wrap it up, but I'd like to part with one last gem of wisdom:

"You're the meaning in my life, you're the Inspiration!"

Thank you.
