Three Hundred Fourteenth Entry

The more things change, the more they are the same.
Alphonse Kerr

I've always liked that quote. Now I know who said it.

It has indeed been a long great while since I've written. And even longer since I've written anything of substance.

For those of you wondering:

-Last October I moved back to the Bay Area and am currently living at my parents house. Mixed feelings about the move. Traditional conundrum, save money by living at home with less freedom and no privacy or break even financially by living in an apartment with more freedom and tons of privacy. I am much closer to my family and friends, but I still miss Tulare and all my people there.

-My new job at BKF(Burger King Fries) is no better than the last one I had. It's a job and it sucks(some days less than others). I have become less self-conscious about using the phone at work. When I first started, I hated making calls to clients and stuff. It was always a nerve wracking day when I knew I had to make a call. But now it is pretty routine, and it doesn't affect me nearly as much. Also, my bosses seem to have more faith in my abilities than I do sometimes. Maybe it's cuz we are pretty understaffed, and I need to take on more stuff.

-Amy and I are back together, as of Valentine's Day this past February. Things are going well, very well in fact. Amy is moving back to the Golden State this summer, for good. She cut her hair "shoulder length" and dyed it fluorescent red. It looks really good. You did a great job, Kate!

-I learned how to knit and surprised folks with scarves for Christmas. Most of the reactions were lukewarm, but I don't care. I made them and if they end up in the trash, well, that's ok.

-I've taken my Seismic Principles exam twice since I've moved back home. The second time was this morning. That's all I have to say about that.

-I've watched dozens of movies on netflix. Most really good.

-I've become an ordained minister. The church of something or other. But it's valid. I can perform weddings, funerals, baptisms and other stuff. So if anyone wants to do any of the afore mentioned things, just buy me a ticket to Madison, I mean the wedding site, wherever that may be, and I'll do it.

-I've seen several shows, been to some bars and parties, made some friends, lost some friends.

I'm sure a lot more things have happened since I moved back 6 months ago, but that's what I remember right now.

Hopefully I can start updating my blog regularly. I imagine it will become therapeutic for me again.
