Mmmm, So Good

Such a sad song...love me some Taeyang though. I'm so glad I could find this with some English subtitles. :)

Brains and Rain

So, I realize that the title of my blog might be a little misleading. It makes it sound as if there is just so incredibly much going on in my life. Now, this is true a lot of times. If there isn't a lot going on around me, it usually means there's a lot going on in my head. Heads hold many thoughts, you know. Or, at least mine does.

However, not much is really happening in my life right now. It's really just me graduating college and waiting around to see if this whole ROK thing actually pans out. I wish I knew if it was going to or not. If I'm going to be around for a lot longer, I really need to go out and get a job for a few months. Have to have a way to pay the bills. However, I don't really want to if I'm just going to leave in a month or two.

Ugh! So frustrated right now. I think I just need to hear something definite, you know? Some little scrap of solid information, at least?

Ha Weener Lol

My Baby

If I do end up going to Korea, this big girl is coming with me. I couldn't just leave her behind. I know it will be hard to be in a new country with a pet. I know there are things that I won't be able to do, but how do you abandon a face like that? Loki is pretty much the most important thing in my life. You don't leave your child behind.

All I Want for Christmas is a Nap

So, the holidays.....sigh. Am I the only one who would rather just spend the whole season curled up on the couch in front of a fire? The whole dealing with family thing is tiresome.
I know, I'm blessed to still have my family. Some people don't. However, family events are just way too demanding for me. I tend to drift toward a back room, or just anywhere I can be away.
Maybe if I spent most of each day napping, I could handle the holidays and their family-centric theme. I think that's the key to all of my life's problems. When someone annoys me or I can't handle something, it will be nap time. Sounds perfect.

The ROK Chronicles: Part I

It all started with a discussion between Charlet and I. When I got wind that her and Chad were thinking about going over to South Korea to teach, I had to get in on it.

I have known all my life that I want to travel. There is only one thing firm in my mind, and it's not a job. I just can't picture myself working a job. When people think of their futures, they see themselves in jobs, among other things. When I think of my future, all I see is myself travelling. I know, that not being a trust-fund baby, I need to work to survive. I expect it. And I want to work. I just don't have it in my mind.

So, when I heard what Charlet was doing, I thought, "this would be the perfect thing for me". I know that I'll have to work. I'll even have to work hard, and it still makes me excited. It makes me excited because while I'll be working, I'll be immersed in a culture that is nothing really like mine. I'll be away from Oklahoma, which is a huge goal of mine.

Thoughts on how to begin

Deciding where to write my thoughts down was a huge question. To not write them down wasn't even an option. I desperately need the release that putting words down provides. Paper and pen in the traditional journal was attractive. Private. That really appeals to my nature. There are many things about myself that no one knows. I still might do that for my major problems. Keep secrets secret, that kind of thing.

In the end, though, I decided to try my hand at writing my thoughts down in a blog. If people want to keep up with me, then this way they can. Might be helpful, really.
