Ding Dong the Witch is Gone

In September I moved in order to live with my best friend of nearly nine years. Two months later, she moved out and a subletter, M, from Boston took her place. A few posts ago I complained about my other roomate, J. She is moving out ASAP to live in another town with her boyfriend (also my friend). So only six months after moving, I will be living with two subletters. I hope the new subletter is chill, since M and I get along well.

Weird habits I have recently discovered: I spit a lot in the shower because I am paranoid of ingesting soap. Also, when I am on the treadmill, I check out girls' asses on the elliptical machines in front of me (I don't think I am lesbian though...)

Updates: I dyed my hair auburn again, it looks a little purple, but will probably fade a bit. Also, Ian is returning from his trip today, and I am stoked to play poker tonight. I will be returning to my beloved New York for part of spring break this year and I couldn't be more excited to see the city when it isn't freezing cold and overrun with new years tourists.

Absence Makes The Heart....

I know it sounds obvious, but my relationship isnt perfect anymore. For a few months, it was so amazing, I couldn't get enough of it. Now there is a certain comfort level. And sometimes he takes it personally when I get into an irritated mood. I know I am not perfect: I'm stubborn, moody, and perfectionistic. We have had a couple of rough nights from mostly miscommunication.

I have never met someone I got along with better than Ian. I hope I can deal with the second phase of a relationship, since I have very little experience with it. It is intimidating when you grow closer with someone, and have something to lose. I am so comfortable with myself, that often I feel like a loner. It is weird to have someone so voluntarily involved in my life (as opposed to obligatory family relationships). This week he is on a business trip, and it's like I have forgotten how I used to spend so much time entertaining myself. It will be an interesting experience for me to adapt to a serious relationship.

In other news, I was accepted to UCLA for graduate school. It's kind of funny, because everyone assumes I am going to stay. If I get into another school, it will be a difficult decision. I hate LA and really want to live somewhere else. But also, I like the research I am doing, and I have friends, family, and a boyfriend here.

Robert: sorry I didnt get to the challenge, I have been super busy with school stuff lately.

Crazy Thing Called Love

This weekend I will be celebrating three months of a functional and amazing relationship. This may not seem like an accomplishment for most, but its a big deal for me. Normally, if I date someone for more than two months, I am constantly annoyed by them and plan when we are going to break up. This time is totally different. I am always happier when Ian is around. This weekend we are going to see Alicia Silverstone in a Mamet play at the Geffen. And with the Superbowl this Sunday, it has potential to be an awesome weekend.

other updates: My car was hit on Saturday by a patent lawyer, and is currently in the body shop. There is minimal damage, and I got to rent my first car (a red chevy cobalt).

With two jazz classes, I have managed to do very minimal work so far this quarter. Lab work sucks this quarter and I hate it and I am waiting to hear from grad schools.
