Way to start off the thread on a down note.

Phitney

Aaron, I cannot wait for storms when I get back east!!!!

+ My boss let me go home "early" today. And by "early," I mean 5 even though that's technically when my shift ends but never does.
+ Throwback skate jams night!!

kinda weird how the earth continues to spin on its axis and everything eventually dies even when you don't want it to dang

rory

+ I went on tour and it was great!
- I got sick and super lost my voice
+ Not having a voice was pretty funny for a few days.
-/+ Got pulled over in the homestretch for driving too slowly, and our guitarist had to tell the officers that our band name is Anybody But The Cops. In hindsight, that's really great.

+ I'm buying a house, on which I close next week! It is "the one" my partner and I fell in love with instantly. I'm psyched.
+ I'm getting married in a few months.
+ It's summer! However, I am still taking gifted endorsement classes for my job and coaching high school baseball, but still...summer. I'll even have a month after I move to get settled.

- At a time when most people would say my life is coming together quite nicely (and it is, I do not argue), my anxiety and depression has sort of hopped back onto the dance floor and made their presence known again. I've gone to doctors, I've gotten medication, and usually the medication makes me feel infinitely worse (nausea, headaches, etc.).
- The most stressful thing about this whole yuppie lifestyle is the fear that with this kind of stability comes the knowledge that I will be trapped in my current career. I hate it and I want out but I don't know what else I'm qualified to do. Year One was the worst experience of my life and everyone said "It's that way for everyone." So I changed schools and tried again. Ditto for year two. Everyone has said "You're still finding your bearings. Give it another go." I am under contract through next year and I'm willing to give it a shot, but I don't think I can teach twenty more years.

Things people would normally make a thread to discuss end up getting buried in here. I'm starting a new thread in protest.

Anna Karina

- It's my birthday and I haven't heard anything from on of my best friends yet, and it's over in five hours.
+ I celebrated with him and other friends at Beachwood (one of my favorite breweries) last weekend, so I guess that's good enough. Oh well.
- Had plans to go see Night Moves with another best friend tonight, but she's gonna be at a baby shower that's running late so we're no longer seeing the movie
+ I switched plans last minute to eat and drink at Beer Belly with a few other friends, and Hoppy Birthday is on the tap list, and it's my favorite beer ever, plus there are like six other amazing beers on their tap list tonight. Oh my.
+ Friend who I was supposed to see Night Moves with bought me tickets to see Chad VanGaalen with her on Wednesday as a birthday present, and I've been excited for months, and that's, like, four days away. Woo!
- Money, blergh

Gator Punch

+A band of mine is actually productive, as in practice at least twice a week, and our first show coming up soon. After years of writing shitty songs, its nice to actually be playing said shitty songs.
+I graduated from college last month with a degree in English.
-Still have another year of teacher prep, including student teaching, before I'm certified. 
-All this is making me feel like an adult, which is scary.

TURN AND RUN AWAY!
(Just kidding. Sort of. That's what I teach, World Lit and American Lit. I'm about to start my third year, so I'm hoping to finally get my bearings and establish a bit of a routine. Let me know if you need anything.)

Haha, that's why I'm getting so nervous. All I've heard is how difficult it is, but once you figure out what works, it's very rewarding. We'll see. And thanks. I'm sure I'll make use of your help.

+ moved apartments recently and was able to find a place that doesn't break bike commute-ability

+ hopefully about to get a practice space literally in between said apartment and job

+ job is also pretty cool (doing IT for a small nonprofit that works on global women's human rights issues)

- feel like I never have time for stuff

- have fully realized that's due to my own laziness and disorganization and still can't seem to fix it

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back breakfast
