Nothing Disguising my Intensions

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 10, 2009, 8:28 PM
Life's been real good lately. Busy, but fulfilling and content! For a while there it seemed as if everything was going wrong but I suppose life wouldn't be so good if there weren't bad times to compare the good times to. I always seem to experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, never anything in between. I went through high school with barely any relationship drama but then right when I got out of it, BAM, a bazillion drama llama's fell upon my relationships with my friends. I had to step back and have lots of alone time to figure things out for the time being and needless to say I'm still piecing things back together. Job wise, I haven't been getting many shifts so I thought it would be good to explore some other options to fill my time with and I decided on volunteering at the local Arts Council with the children day camps that they host (5-12 year olds). I've been working there on and off on all the days I don't work at the grocery store, and this next week I'm working the full 5 days. There's nothing I don't love about the job. Maybe it's my inner kid coming out and thinking back onto the time when I first went to camp, or just my love for kids and/or helping out with an organization of awesome people, I don't know. Anyhow, I don't think I've been more exhausted (but a great exhausted) in my life before.

One thing I couldn't live without is dancing. I went dancing with a friend last saturday and had the most amazing time! I think this coming year when I move out of the country and into the city (my brother and I found a great place, super cheap too!) I'll try to take a dance class or two. Yesterday I headed out to my friends house and his backyard is this amazingly calm lake. We swam, hot-tubbed, and talked all night long. Earlier tonight I went on a bike ride among the grass and canola fields and breathed in the humid air and listened to the chirping crickets. Thank goodness its finally nice outside!

I've always wanted to do some type of volunteer work, sadly it just hasn't happened as of yet.
I should look into it, though.

Best of luck in the city.. Are you more of a city person yourself?

Please please try it out! I'm sure you'd be able to find a huge amount of places that need help. Get back to me when you do get a position. I'll be waiting! ;)

I actually don't know, because all my life I've lived in the country but I think I will become a city person quite quickly once I've moved.

Shall do! :salute: I've already asked my mom about a few places and she said she'd ask around. :eager:

I've always lived somewhere in the middle.. Suburbs, I guess. Not really full on country but close to a city, however, not in it.
I want to live in the middle of a big city.. without a car or anything. :faint:

Good boy! :salute:

Wouldn't that just be the best!? I'd love to be able to walk/bike everywhere I wanted to go. And also to live alone in a bachelor apartment, but these days everything is quite expensive..

It would, that's for sure.
You'd be able to get so much more out of each trip anywhere, really.

Ah, same.. Like a loft or such. :faint:
Can't imagine the costs. >__>
