Over the Last Few Days

So here I am relaxing in my dining room...in beautiful Virginia. I just got in last night at Arlington, and after a 5 hour bus ride I was long overdue for a bath. (we don't have bath tubs in the dorms) My back sliding door is open, there's a perfect breeze coming through the house, and my daddy just cooked cheese eggs!

Recently I had to let the guy I was seeing go because of...how can I say this in a nice way...obsessive and possessive tendencies, but mainly because of the HUGE pet peeve I have of inconsistency when it comes to plans and just men in general. Then I had a thought...'wow, I'm feeling a little high maintenance-ish'...only because there were some days I really liked him, and others that I wanted to go hide under a rock. And I've never considered myself in that category. But I want to throw this out there...I did look past a lot of things he did, and gave it a fighting chance, but some things...just would never work out. Besides the fact that my friends and I were always coming up with elaborate strategic ways on how to catch him lying about something, and I was always wondering if he was a pathological liar or just a bad exaggerator, so basically in the end, I just couldn't be bothered with all that unneeded stress so...That's how I will keep that short and sweet with the things that are relevant.

Just a head's up...
One thing about me...I'm really into meeting new people...around the city, online, pretty much anywhere, I'm not a shy person...

So next thing I have to vent out...
I met this guy (friend for now), who is here on holiday from England! (it was like being at camp all over again) There is something about the way Europeans (or the ones I've met at least) think and view things that is so fascinating because I completely understand what they are saying. Maybe I'm secretly meant to be European...Anyways I'm going to try not to get attached or catch feelings because he's here temporarily. He's a professional runner trains year round, sponsored by Adidas, and training for the next Olympics which will be held in England. Oh and can I just mention he does have his bachelor degree, so he's not just a dumb athlete...for all you bitter people out there...
But the most amazing part of it is his conversation and personality. I can't even describe our conversations, we have talked about energy, dedication, motivation, and people in general. See, now maybe it's just me and I've been surrounded by stupid people for so long that this kind of conversation was inspirational and life-changing (and I've never used that description before to describe anything)! It just made me really appreciate him as a friend, a new one at that, and for opening my mind and eyes to a whole new side of things. Constantly trying to improve himself as a person and athlete. I already know I'll be incredibly torn up when he leaves (and I hardly know him now...) because...UGH! I decided his attitude is my ideal type...and it doesn't hurt that he's an athlete, and from overseas with a very nice accent.

So today after I ate my eggs I discovered that my horoscope...was also my ideal-of what it should be. (no, don't worry I'm not hard-core about it, but I like to think there is a possible deeper meaning into some things).

"Confidence will attract money to you-or at least attract people with money. Muster up the guts to enthusiastically greet strangers. You are someone worth knowing and knowing well."

Are you serious?! That is actually what got me on here to start today's blog.

Yesterday I had an amazing day at VIBE, got tons of work done, did my part, made an impact, and left feeling more than pretty damn good about my input. Then I had my life-changing conversation, got on a bus came home, and slept in my queen sized bed after my bath.

Now today I'm going to a party for my grandparents 60th wedding Anniversary (love you and Bless them both) at our country club. That calls for another...Seriously, how amazing is that? 60 years? That kind of thing gives me hope that people still do stay together despite the growing statistics of our nation on the divorce rate...Anyways I'm making myself quite available to meet new people while I'm here, at the country club, and at the hospital (to visit my sister). So with all these possibilities I'll really test the damn stars and see how accurate things are...or how accurate I can make them...hmm...

Well, I guess I'll get on with my day, so I can start seeing progress and results. Just joking...kind of.

And they're off...
