dancing through the fire;

A lot has happened since last I wrote. After returning from NOLA, I was unemployed for like a month, my ceiling caved in, my ceiling got fixed, I went to Starquest finals in VA Beach, decided reluctantly to take a long term temp job, started the temp job, got offered a real full time job, took that, still am there and liking it(!), looked for an apartment, found an apartment and put down a deposit on the spot, got approved for it, signed a lease, and am MOVING TO BROOKLYN WITH MY BEST FRIEND at the end of the month.

Its going to be good. 
And the apartment is adorable and perfect and right across the street from a park with a POOL and a track where we can run. Its basically the ideal scenario.

Despite all this, I have been having major issues lately with liking myself. I have no idea where my self-confidence got off to but I'd really appreciate it if it'd get its ass back here.
It came back for a little while thanks to Jenn but keeps coming and going and being stupid and unpredictable. 

SO, for now, I'm going to make a list of things I like about myself because why the hell not. No one reads this blog anyway.

1. I like my sincerity.
2. I like how easy it is for me to unconditionally love people.
3. I like how prompt I am in uploading facebook photos. 
4. I like how entertained I am by silly reality shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
5. I like that I can make myself laugh.
6. I like how I can complete tasks very quickly.
7. I like my ability to learn new things quickly. 
8. I like the fact that I have a thorough knowledge of the NYC subway map and Manhattan geography. 
9. I like my determination. 
10. I like how organized I can be.
11. I like that I am a quick thinker.
12. I like my generosity.

..meh is that enough? Let's go with yes.

I have discovered though, that as long as I am staying involved and doing different activities outside of work, then I will be a lot happier.

Best friend and I are running a 5k tomorrow, I'm volunteering at ACS's Pink & Black Tie Gala, hopefully going to the carnival thing in Central Park, going to see Pippin hopefully soon, and the whole getting ready to move thing is taking up a lot of my outside of work brain power.

Well that will be all for now I guess.
