Happy May!! It's taken a while for the month of May to seep into my consciousness if I'm honest. I don't really know why, but it just hasn't felt like May. However, May is coming along pretty nicely, if I do say so myself!
I'm having a party for my birthday this coming weekend and I'm actually pretty excited about it. This week I only have to work three days and then I get a four day weekend. That will be soo nice and hopefully I will be able to recharge my "work batteries." Hopefully the weather cooperates and I can have a nice outdoor/indoor style bonfire and fun birthday.
I finally got all the necessary things booked for LeakyCon! I've registered for the convention, booked my hotel room, and I've now purchased my round-trip plane tickets. Apparently it is really difficult to fly directly to Portland. My journey there will take me from Chicago to Phoenix to Portland. On the way home however I'll be flying from Portland to Charlotte to Chicago. Talk about cross country!! Anyways, I love flying and I'm super excited that this trip is finally all coming together.
Work has gotten slightly better and the changes haven't been as bad as I had thought they were going to be. I do still hate my job though. That part hasn't changed. Returns are the worst, as always.
I've still not been writing very much, but I think that after June I might be able to focus a little more on that. I'll have a bit more time back because the play will be over. Speaking of, I have been really enjoying being a part of this play. It's always interesting to work with new directors because each director I've ever worked with has been extremely different from all the others. It's interesting to see the thought processes of people and how they work with others to create their visions. This play has been no different than any other I've been apart of (except maybe having rehearsal in a daycare! That was different . . . and a bit warm). Anyways, this little show is really coming together and as we work to solidify the vision I think we're going to have a really good show on our hands!
I always feel that my music and reading tastes change with my moods and therefore reflect some part of how I am feeling. My reading mood has, more or less, returned to normal. I'm not reading the deeper, darker, weird novels I picked up randomly because they were cheap when Borders was closing. I'm back to fantasy and more light-hearted things. I've recently begun the endeavor of reading the Game of Thrones novels. These are right in the ballpark of novels I usually read and I'm happy to be back in that genre. Musically, I'm not in an unusual spot per se, but it's not a genre I turn to very often. I've been listening to a mix, but the two stations I've been going between is kind of funny. I'm still into the pop station I've been listening to since October-ish but I've now started listening to a lot of Rock. I'm going to go ahead and put some "blame" on my boyfriend since this is mostly what he listens to, but I have had rock music stints before. So it isn't all due to him! I mean, I've always had a rock station as a preset on my car's radio.
For some reason, I just feel more rock 'n' roll lately. Which is definitely not a bad thing! It is a sort of freedom that I think I have led myself to and its a very good thing that I've made it here. It possibly has to do with some letting go that I've been struggling with and it also has to do with just being a person who lives in the moment for themselves. Maybe this links in to my "inner pirate," maybe it doesn't. But it would sure make sense! I am feeling very happy still and things seem to be returning to "normal" (a word that doesn't usually apply to me, haha!)
Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic or reflective or whatever, but it's been a good year so far. A better year than I've been having lately. I have a lot of people to thank for this, and I'm pretty sure you all know exactly who you are.
