I wish I could tell you that I was doing something fabulous in all the time I haven't been blogging, but if you've been following my twitter feed you already know that I wasn't.Sadly most of my tweets recently have been about how much I need a nap.

| Not my actual schedule but it sure feels like it! |
1). A friend of mine approached me about moving to Charlotte, NC. Now I have been talking about moving back to Charlotte for like a year, so after some initial reservations I talked to G-Fab and then jumped at the chance to go. Several weeks of planning later, with about a month to go before the move- my friend backed out. He fell in love or some such nonsense and couldn't do it.
I.Was.Not.Happy to say the least. Not ten minutes after I got this news I had a job interview scheduled, which brings me to...
B). I am now officially a professional writer! I know, someone pays me to write! How fucked up is that? I mean I'd like to think my writing skills are pretty good and all, but frankly I never thought anyone would ever pay me to do it. Before anyone gets super jealous and all, I only get paid 25 dollars a day. I work for a local website and they give me the topics to write about. I don't get to pick my own topics and I don't have a huge word limit, so its not all glamorous or anything. Still I get to put "Writer" on my resume which is probably the biggest ego boost of my life.
Pink Fairy Armadillo). That doesn't mean I get to quit my waitressing job, which has gone into massive overtime recently. For the last month I have been working 6 days a week on ridiculous hours. The last 3 days alone I worked 11:30-9, 10-3 and then 10-10. Then I had to go home and write for my other job and play with my (woefully neglected) dogs. I'm pretty sure I haven't slept in like a month.
38DD). In a quick run down of everything else you might want to know about: I didn't feel the earthquake. Hurricane Irene won't be doing anything but making it really windy at my house. I chewed out this guy, Kenya, I was sort of/kinda/almost involved with. I got a call from a job that rejected me a year ago asking me to reapply (shocking as shit). Also I am apartment hunting in the hopes I can one day move out of my parents house.
So yeah, a lot has happened in the last month.
5 People think this post is awesome!:
1) Even though I already knew most of this I still loved hearing about it- especially the part about Kenya. This is just certified gold that you are awesome.
B) Also I miss your texts! As soon as I get more money I am coming to visit.
Spider Monkey) As soon as I heard the hurricane hit NC I went into panic mode. Then my email inbox went bold and all was right with the world.
38DD) How did you know???
No seriously, I'm a 32DD. No, seriously.
We totally have the same shit going on. I did an "update" post on my blog too where I also mention my new writing job. Weird......
All you professional writers have me inspired. I've been poking around the internets for some part time gig where someone will pay me to write. Congrats, love.
And I recommend sleeping. Try and get some of that, kay?
When you get your new apartment, just know that you're going to have to host a whole bunch of nipcliquers. :)

Congrats on being able to put writer on your resume! That's exciting! I don't believe well paying writer jobs exist, haha.
That is a whole lot going on, and I'm certain a lot more has happened that I will read about shortly.
I would have been absolutely peeved if someone pulled that on me.. man. Getting your life up and ready to move and then suddenly it's not happening? Ugh.
