| You Are a Peacemaker Soul |
 You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can. War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace. You are a good mediator and a true negotiator. Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy. While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental. You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take. On the flip side, you've got a great sense of humor and wit. You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice. Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul |

Ha! I'm just using Ryan for his quizzes! :P
Yet another silly quiz!
Snatched from Ryan ;)

You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

Friends
Well, I know I have whined about this periodically for the past two years, but looking online today at all the people I never talk to anymore stirred the issue up even more. Ever since high school graduation, I have lost contact with every single one of my friends, one way or another. Right now, the only constant friend I have in my life is James (K., not B.), and that's sort a given considering we've been going out for nearly 9 months now.
I really miss friendship. I miss having someone I can rant at about anything. I miss having someone other than a boyfriend whom I can feel close to. None of my family fits the bill, and though I do consider some of James' housemates (former, *sniff*) to be friends, not even Preston was/is someone I feel close enough to call up at random to see if we could hang out or for me to rant at about life, or James (well, not about him specifically, no problems there... but with connected issues), or whatnot.
Basically, now that I'm facing having to say goodbye to everything I've known (which includes breaking things off with James which I am not dealing with well), I'm feeling the absence of friends ever more acutely. Everyone whom I might have once felt close to is seperated from me now. Differing schedules, growing apart, disillusionment, or lack of enough interest to put the effort into keeping in touch has gotten in the way. I haven't made any friends at American River, and even the friends I've met online have drifted away.
I feel stranded, and I don't even miss the social aspect of it so much as the support, the connection. I mean, in Ireland I'm hoping to pull out of my shell somewhat, so socializing hopefully will no longer be an issue. But I still have two months to survive here.
I'm so lost right now reguarding James. I know it worries him that I'm struggling so hard with myself, and that just makes me feel all the worse. A part of me wishes it were all over... then I wouldn't have to worry about leaving him behind... wouldn't have to worry about our future. Another part of me clings desperately to him. I've never had such a steady relationship before (not that I've had much experience in the first place). It might seem crazy or naive, but there's times where he and I feel so natural together, I could picture us living together, stretching on into the future years. And again, other times I realize I'm not even 20 yet and I have not had so many experiences, and that by clinging to something that might not be there when I get back cuts those chances away from me. And of course, there's still that stupid/silly/impossible fantasy of having some Irish lad sweep me off my feet into the perfect relationship.
See what happens when I don't have anyone to talk to? Anyone to steady me when I'm not around my James? I talk myself into circles. And I've seen James so little lately that even his presence doesn't always center me all the way. He's my steadfast knight on the white horse, but there's a ravine coming up, and I'm not sure whether I should cling tighter to him and hope that I stay seated, or jump off before the danger comes. I know I've already started distancing myself from him emotionally at times, and I feel so hollow when that happens that I rush back, upset, and cling all the more.
Yeah... hollow is a good way to describe me right now.

The Most Pathetic Thing in the World
So yeah, driving home from ARC today, I stopped by Quizno's to redeem my free sandwich card. I also bought some chips, so with tax, my total came to 96cents. So, I started digging through my wallet for change, and I suddenly realized that I had spent my last dollar bill and last quarter for a water bottle while at school. I was frantically trying to count my dimes and pennies, realizing that I didn't have enough. Then the guy in line behind me oppened up his change purse and dropped it on the counter, telling me to "take whatever, however much I need." By this time, I was completely red from hairline to chest, and I quickly grabbed three dimes, paid the cashier, and got the hell out of dodge with a squeak of a "thank you very much!"
Pathetic, no? Had he not come to my rescue, I would have had to pay the 96cents with my credit card. How sad.

First post...
So yeah... Welcome, everyone, to me humble blog. I shall soon post all the poems I wrote this semester during poetry class. Hopefully people will actually read this and I'll try my best to update it regularly.
Man, finals are starting next week, and I have so much to catch up on, so much studying to do. Unfortunately, the hotel is sold out this weekend, so I won't be able to study there. It's so distracting here at home. At least in a few months time, I'll be out on my own. I think I really, really need this fresh start.
I wish my fingers would stop peeling. They've been like this for a few months now, and they're sore; especially my index fingers... they keep peeling down to the point where even just sunlight on them burns. Bleh.
Anywho, I have several performances coming up shortly:
-- This Sunday, at the Whole Earth Festival on the UCD campus. roughly around 3pm, bohemain bellies will be dancing for a bit.
-- A noon concert coming up for Baroque Ensemble. Will update date, etc., as soon as possible
-- bohemian bellies (well, as part of Dynamic Dancing) will be performing June 10th and 11th. We're still debating about which day is going to be the actual performance, as we're only going to have one show. I'll be doing both tap and bellydancing. I'll update this as I find out, but you can also check it out at http://bohemianbellies.com.
Well, oreos are tempting me, and I only have a short bit until tap class, then some time with James, then bellydancing. Please do leave me comments!
