So I've kinda disappeared I acknowledge but I do have a different set of silly thoughts posted at a different location. If you ever need a few minutes of cheap and mindless entertainment, here are my thoughts about my time here in France.

I miss you all!! Alexis get your travelling behind out here!

Aug. 10th, 2007 @ 09:24 am Restlessness strikes again - and it's happening!
Current Mood: accomplished
Bam. Everything is happening!
All this floating around in my head - yesterday I did two big things basically cementing my plans. I bought a ticket to the east coast for my big east coast adventure (I'm so silly I know, how many big adventures can I have?!?! not enough yet apparently!) and I sent my passport and visa app for the French visa. Today I'm doing two much more permanent things to cement my future plans. I'm quitting my job, and sending my confirmation to France that I am indeed coming out.

In case I haven't explained, I am moving to Paris to teach English, and before I go out there I am going to the east coast to visit a bunch of people I haven't seen in a long time. It's a big trip, but I have couches and futons and stay on basically the whole way.

I'm leaving August 30. So we need another dinner, all for me, of course. :-)

I'm trying very hard to keep it cool at work, but I'm starting to slip. So many things are frustrating me, and I really want to quit, but I have a house til September and I can't afford to quit.

Anyone know if anything out there is hiring?

You Are Independent Sexy

You drive men crazy with your "playing hard to get act"
Except, it's really not an act at all.
You're a strong, sexy woman with her own life and interests.
And that makes men even more interested in you!

I need to come up with a career plan quick or I may just lose my frazzled little mind.

I'm going to Los Angeles this weekend to try my luck at the Price is Right. Though, I may get in line the night before, and think "aw, screw this, I wanna sleep."

Ummmm I think I totally forgot I have a livejournal account. So - I'm back!! Or something.

I need to hang out with you cool people, and soon.

Update?
Pennsylvania was super fun. Britain with Pam was super fun. Check Facebook to see the super fun pictures.

I bought a cat. She is half devil, half cool cat. She is 7 months old. Check Facebook to see the pictures.

I work a full time job that is actually pretty interesting, and my coworkers are pretty cool.

I am hopefully going back to Europe late May/early June because I just can't get enough.

I may want to join the Foreign Service, but it says you can be forced to resign if you don't stick up for your countries policies - so maybe I"ll wait til Obama is president.

I see Cory everywhere - driving, walking, snowshoeing.

Our dog isn't doing too well.

It's snowing, and a lot. I finally went skiing and it was super fun.

I am applying to teach in France, but even if I get it, I don't know if I'll go. I want to take a Spanish class.

New Years was a blast, even if the stupid whore I hate was there - I just drank an entire bottle of wine and tried to block out her annoying voice. Devon and I just hit the two year mark. It seems like everyone in the world is either breaking up or getting married. We're just kinda sittin pretty, which is cool.

I am rooting for the Colts.

Ummmmmmmmm the end.

I really miss people and I want to do a dinner or bar thinger soon. Anyone?

Yay....things are pretty sweet. i woke up soooo hungover today, though i only downed a few long islands, and called in sick to work, which i have not done in probably years. then i commenced a sex in the city marathon, and i'm stuck b/c i don't have anything past the third season. so...now i think i may go buy some food or something of the same lackluster significance, and read the rest of one l that i borrowed from a friend over two years ago.
i got a new job, a real one, i will be an editorial assistant! which meant i had to quit australearn but they were suprisingly really happy for me. my new job will be fun except for the times that i do the bitch work, but hey basically i do the bitch work at any job i have right now. in two weeks, i will have one job, not three, and health insurance!! i still have to quit chautauqua, and my boss's 50th birthday is this week, so you know, that should go over well.
i am going to the east coast in about a month with my best friend from high school, to cities undetermined at this point, but probably at least two of the following: boston or new york or philly. and i will go to state college to visit our other hip attachment at penn state.
and then i do believe i have a european vacation coming up in the next two months, dates and destations undetermined as well at this point, though greece is a front runner, and possibly a stop over in turkey? then we've technically been to asia. ish. but i'm going, b/c my boss is awesome and let me negotiate some extra time off.
i saw the last kiss and cabaret with the boy, and yeah shoulda thought of that beforehand b/c watching two depressing things in successive days makes me sad.
but i am happy. and fairly carefree. yay!

Hopefully I didn't do this completely to myself.
Maybe it's b/c I'm happier in life than I've been in almost 8 months and b/c of that I kinda remember how to be social again, but I've noticed a serious drop in my number of friends.
A year and a half ago, I probably had the most friends I've ever had in my life. And now, one hasn't called me back in almost two weeks, and I had absolutely no idea about another's birthday shindig.
I'll admit, I was very antisocial last semester, which by no means makes anyone want to hang out with you any more. I think I was also incredibly freaked out about what had changed while I was away and upcoming graduation and losing what I had had in college, so I pushed it away that much quicker. Call me selfish, but now, I'm happy, and I want my friends back.
Maybe I shot myself in the foot, but I hope it'll heal.

Whoa, it's been a long time since I chatted to myself in here.

Ummm working three jobs - approximately 60 hours last week and this week. Starting next week I'll still have three jobs but only work about 48 hours a week. Sounds gllllorrriious.

Hmmm okay, so planning on travelling in the near future. Here's my idea: NYC and Philly with Amy to see Breigh around the beginning of November. Europe in December. Mexico in January. I like.

I absolutely love my new place. It's down in Rock Creek, slightly smaller for two people and a dog but it is awesome. The commute to work is soooo much better than from Gunbarrel. The pool is literally outside our patio, but it'll close soon. :-( Maybe when we finally get boxes out and teh place all clean people can come over and entertain me.

Going to Guster on Sept 23. Rafe, Cory, Alissa, you going?

I want to see Hal Sparks at Comedy Works. He's here Oct 19-21. So, I'm going. Anyone care to join?

Andre Agassi plays tonight!!!!

uhhhh, I just realized I said "how fun it is to be gassed." I don't know that that's completely politically correct. How do you phrase that without sounding creepy and sadistic?

Today, I had to do an EGD test. First, they made me not eat anything until 3 pm, which does not make a happy Sara, and then they couldn't get my vein for the IV so they stuck me three different times. I never fear needles but after that today, I am scared of needles. It frickin hurt. So then they gas me all up, send a camera down my esophagus, and I woke up 20 mins later completely dillusional. Whee....I forgot how fun it is to be gassed. But then it wasn't fun b/c I hadn't eaten anything but a camera and I felt nauesous and sleepy. :-( oh well. Crackers are my friend.
Oh and my tummy is fine as of now. I had a biopsy on one intestine which has to be sent to a lab, but there's probably nothing too wrong.
And now that I've given too much detail (hey, I'm still loopy, no food and lots of sedation makes me talkative.) I am gonna go.

Ps. I'm going to Vegas this weekend with the boy!!! Last minute decision, we leave tonight. Back Sunday. Rafe, Alissa, we're driving back Sunday, so I don't know that I'll be able to help move, but maybe I can help decorate?

My internship is fun. I get to research stuff and then write captions all day. Plus some other less exciting stuff like tagging or checking references etc, but it's still fun b/c I get to read the stuff we're publishing, which is good for me b/c I'm a nerd.
I decided I want to go to Europe for a monthish. Maybe the fall? But this time I want to go to Austria, Hungary, Scandinavia, Portugal, and Greece. And maybe a few repeat countries. And maybe down in Morocco. This is my new project. ie. how to afford it and when to do it.
My roommate got married last weekend. And the weekend before that was her bachelorette party, and I proceeded to get incredibly drunk in Denver, and it was a lot more fun than I thought it'd be. But I guess it usually is once you get some alcohol into all the girls out playing with you. I also discovered that you can get a multitude of free drinks from boys if you just ask. I never knew this tactic.
I want to go back to Denver. Any takers?
I think I might be fairly happy again with life.
See some of you fools at dinner tonight!!!

So sorry I missed trivia. I fell asleep at 9:30. How's that for nerdy?
Next week's gonna suck, so I may not be able to make it to trivia then either, but someday, I'll be back, I swear.
PS Chris and I are gonna plan an outing to a Rockies game in June. Details later....but yay. :-)

HOLY CRAP I'M GRADUATING IN THREE DAYS!!!
One take home exam, one term paper, one final exam.
Then I'm officially a college graduate.
And I still have no idea waht I want to be when I finally grow up.
Anyone know of a job I can get? 'Cause, seriously, I'm having a bitch of a time trying to impress people enough to hire me.

But, right now, I kinda don't care. After 17 years of school, I'm about to have a break longer than 3 months.
Scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that United 93 movie? They're donating 10% of their first weekend earnings to the United 93 Memorial. Awww. That's sweet. But then think that it only cost $15 million to make it, and you know that they're going to make that and a handful back.
Seriously, if you're tastelessly making a movie only 4 1/2 years after something so crazy happened, wouldn't it be better not to profit from it?
Sometimes capitalism pisses me off to no end.

Everyone seems to be in a funk.
Guster was cool, even though I couldn't find ya guys for the life of me. The usher lady got kinda snide with me, b/c I stood there for like 10 minutes scanning the balcony, to no avail. I found Cory though, that was cool.
Spring break was cool...dinner at Amy's was sooooo good and fun, and Estes was sooo relaxing and fun. Lots of work, but that means a paycheck!!! School sucks, I have way too much to do this month...I graduate in just over a month, and uh...I have no idea what I'm doing. That wasn't what I went to college for.
I hope summer is cool like last summer was. And I hope my roommate's wedding invitation will show up soon...I like to think I'm somewhat important.
Dinner tomorrow? Anyone know what time it's goin down?
Work Wed,Thurs,Fri. Boo. Avs gave Saturday! Probably work again Sunday.
I want to find that dog that was in my dreams. She was too cute.
