December 2010
This is the last day I have to really think...
Because I’m leaving you behind with 2010.

2010 ends in 2 days.
Which, the more I think about it, the weirder it seems. This year has been crazy, to say the least. But I think any year that you decide to quit your job and move (back) across the country can qualify as crazy.
I don’t have any set plans for ringing in the new year, but some possible parties have begun to surface. No matter what I do though, I know that: 1. I’d rather not leave Wicker...
I fail as a Latina/a girl in general.
I have to wonder what my boss is going to think when he realizes how much of a disappointment I am as a Latina/a girl in general.
Case in point: New bridal web site project that I’m helping overseeing and develop. When asked for my insight, I stare blankly. Then have to explain other than the logistics, I have no actual input on the concept because weddings/marriage don’t interest me....

back in Chicago.
It’s cold as balls, my car is completely buried in snow and I have to go back to work tomorrow.
But it’s nice to be home.

I can never sleep when I’m home. I’m not sure why.

For the record...
… nothing helps boost a wounded heart more than the attention of other men.
Maybe getting over you won’t be as difficult as I thought it would be.

Merry Christmas Tumblr!
I hope you all have had a lovely holiday. Since arriving back in Texas, I have:
* eaten an obscene amount of tamales (and will probably eat more after posting this) * baked my feelings and forced said baked goods on my family; the biggest hit were the Mexican chocolate cupcakes * been asked several times about my love life/no longer existent boyfriend/marriage to said non-existent boyfriend or...
I have nothing to offer anybody except myself.

I won't apologize.
For how I feel. For how I felt.
But I’m letting it all go. At 4 am, the minute I step onto the Blue Line, suitcase in hand, headphones in place… I will let it all go. I will let you go.
And I will turn my brain off. I will take this week to regroup, rethink. Remember that sometimes risks are worth taking, no matter the end result. Realize that as much as I saw myself with you, the...
I am just one big emotive cookie.

I am awful at saying goodbye.
But I’ve done it enough that you’d think I would be a pro at it by now.
In related news, I get to bake my feelings in approximately 3 days.
One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

I need to dye my hair. I need a new tattoo.
I need to do something—ANYTHING—to change how I feel right now.
I feel lost, I feel stagnant… I need a change.

My brain is NOT working today.
On any given day, I will set up a handful of “That’s what she said” jokes without meaning to. But today is extra special, because I just somehow inadvertently invited Adrian* to a pants party (which he pointed out to me after laughing). Thankfully, not to a party in MY pants per se but still… hilarious and awkward.
*For all mah new followers: Adrian is mentioned quite a...

2010 in five minutes.
So, on my every day maybe not quite as personal blog, I’m taking part in a fun little end of the year initiative called reverb10. I get a prompt every day to blog about as a way to reflect on the past year. Today’s prompt has been my favorite so far: Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want...
Trying to pull myself away, caught in a pattern and I can’t escape.
