Update to let y'all know I'm alive

We still don't have internet access at the house. Instead we go to the coffee shop down the street for the free wi-fi (and I always feel obligated to buy coffee, so it's turning out much more expensive than getting our own hook-up)

House:
The house is great. The afternoons make my attic apartment an oven, but I'm free to go see Hannah and Caitlin downstairs anytime. I've taken pictures and will post them when I'm using my own computer (on Hannah's now). But rest assured that I like it alot.

Jobs:
I have three potential part-time jobs. I will definitely be doing some free-lance work at a gigantic hospital hotel, ushering doctors around and playing with AV equipment. I have two interviews tomorrow as well. I'm going to the big deal regional theatre to talk about several available positions. When I get back I'm going to this very coffee shop to talk about working here. So three part time jobs with varying pay rates. It's unstable and crazy and I think I'll love it.

Church:
I've been going to church with Caitlin's family. Together we take up half the church. I love worship because they only sing through the songs once. And the pastor's good. As well as Caitlin's father.

Cleveland Heights/Coventry
Seriously, all the best parts of New York. Little restaurants with vegan options, shops full of useless eighties action figures, homeless people, etc. And I don't have to live in Harlem or work in a giant tourist trap.

Money:
Send some. Please.

Everything else is a long tale of adventure and glory. I will withold them for now because I wish to give them the embellishment they deserve.

I am a Liar. I am Ashamed.

It's roughly 7 hours before I drive away from my ol' Ky home... again.

This time I have a lot of crap. Seriously. I thought to myself, "self, this should be easy. You've moved ten times in the last four years. This should be old hat (a phrase I never really understood)" I was mistaken. Dorms and NYC apartments were furnished. Taking your own stuff makes for a looooong day of packing (especially when you put it off to go to a wonderful wedding that everyone else has already talked about... Love was in the air, and I got a little high)

So I've still got lots of crap to get out of my house into a teeny U-Haul. It's dark and difficult to do, but my parents whant to get out of here ASAP and my dad's asleep because he OD'd on Benadryl.

Cheap Seats Version: Really excited about the move. Really nervous about finding a job. Really excited about neighbors (Caitlin's mom note: not roommates). Potentially really excited about regional theatre, you guys. A little creeped out by the girl who occupied my apartment as of last week. Really excited about Cleveland Heights being a really nice area. Really tired of packing.

I haven't updated my blog this summer. I am sorry. I would promise to do it more after I move, but I won't have the internet in my apartment (at least not for a while). Though I am sure that Hannah, Caitlin and I will have many adventures together that will inevitably be put into a novel or ABCFamily original movie.

Why did I not update? I don't know. I really didn't do much of anything this summer. Literally, nothing at all. I just wanted a break from my normal self, and as a result I sort of sucked as a person for 8 weeks. And that made me realize that being myself makes me a better person, because come on: I. Am. Awesome.

So I'm going to be myself now. But that doesn't mean I'm going to update more often.

Baby steps.
