sept 21

so i got a new part-time job personalizing nameplates and step stools and piggy banks for kids. it's because it's one of denise's jobs now and she doesn't have enough time to do everything she has to do for that job and also run her photography business (which has recently entered another busy season apparently). yeah so now i just go over to her studio to help her out with that stuff almost every weekday for several hours in the afternoon.

mike & tori's friend bill seems to like me i guess. he sort of asked me out through a facebook message. i'm flattered by his attention but i don't know if i could be into him like that.

jelly seems to be finally acting like a rat. she's curious and playful and mischievous like a rat. she explores like a rat, runs around like a rat. yaaay. i guess it just means she's not a baby anymore.

so two or three weekends ago i went cliff-jumping into the conowingo dam with mark & caitlin.

last weekend (two nights ago) i hooked up with mark & caitlin's roommate alex.

i think i like him.

i think he likes me.

i think he's really good at cuddling and other things.

i think he's fun to talk to.

i think the sean situation is a lost cause.

i think i'm ready to shift my focus to alex.

not to mention i haven't heard from the other sean since july. that's fine i guess. he didn't really add anything positive to my life. well yeah he did sometimes but not as much positivity as negativity.

alex climbs trees for a living. he's 24. he has brown hair and green eyes like me. he does fun outside things like camp and snowmobile and ride dirt bikes and 3 wheelers and 4 wheelers, and he has ridden horses before. he's adventurous. he's intelligent. you can just tell right away by talking to him. he went to art school but only for a year, then he stopped because he felt like the program wasn't really teaching him anything. he says he's almost done paying off his student loans. wow. so maybe i would be almost done by now too if i had only gone to school for a year.
