I want to be able to swallow. Nothing dirty or implied. Just the normal, everyday act of taking in sustenance by mouth. Is that too much to ask?
Otherwise things are pretty good:
- figuring out the teaching thing
- taking my third ASL class
- been in my apt in EP for almost a year
- fantastic cat
- nice neighborhood
- single and okay with it
- kidneys are leaving me be
- happy happy houseplant
- taking a grad school class at RIC
So, yeah. I'm liking it, more oft than not.
Whee! |

We are here! Arrived this morning, 7:30 Brussels/Budapest time (that's 6 hours ahead of you folks). Didn't get much sleep on the plane last night but I managed to push through the day. It's abou 8 and we are winding down. Today was explored the Pest side of the river and tomorrow we plan to explore Buda. On Thursday it's on the Russia!
It's weird being this far away, but I'm doing alright with it.
I hope all is well back home. Keep it safe for me. |

So, tomorrow Kae and I leave for our European adventure. We leave for Budapest tomorrow and will be there until Wednesday. From Wednesday to next Tuesday we will be in Russia and then I will come home. I am nervous, since this is my first time traveling outside the US and Canada. But no matter what happens it'll be good and interesting.
Katie is leaving her cat here, or so we hope, until the end of July. There has been a lot of mewling and hissing and hiding out. Hopefully this will work out. We'll see.
Oh yeah, for those of you not in the know, I have a cat. Her name is Boo. She is great and I love her. Katie's cat is Lydia and she is grumpy. So, yes...
With any luck I will be able to post on and off during the trip. Help me stay connected and things.
So, here goes nothing...! |

::raises hand::
It's been a long two or so weeks. That is not to say that they necessarily been bad, but they have most certainly been interesting. I have gotten into the bad habit of not getting at least 6 hours of sleep each night...that's probably not the best thing ever...
There's a chance I won't get hired back next year. But I'm working really hard and if I don't get it back, it won't be for lack of trying.
In recent news...
I have mine owns apartment in EP. It's on the third floor and all angles and slopes. It's just right for this Jeni. I now have interwebs and teavee. It's all pretty much all lovely right now.
I also have a new manfriend. It's only been bout a week, but it's going pretty well, methinks.
For now I must away...things are a bit crazy here in New Beige. Time to play with baby Elvis! |

...because my shoes are not that interesting. Although my socks often are!
Anywho, it's been a pretty good long weekend. Didn't get as much planning done as I maybe should have... It'll get done, though, it always does. It's part of what I do. ...hopefully...
I've been a wee bit (usually am) off kilter as of late. Feeling disconnected from my friends. I am having a good time doing the show. It feels good to be back in theatre, don't get me wrong. But I'm lonely at Bell St. I have Cat&Justin and I have Jim&Lenny, but that's about it. I mean I chat to everyone else and occasionally make them smile, but few real friends. Before, during intermission and after the shows I just sort of hang around, do my things, and wander about. I've come to the conclusion (after being in Florida and all) that I am really not good at making friends. Now I've wondering how I ended up with the ones I've got. I'm also greatful.
This weekend been a good one to help get my over the weird friend feelings. On Friday I hung out with Dan, Dacey, and Captain Pants for the first time in a long time. Rory had his first taste of lemon ( put lemon into mouth, make funny face, remove lemon, put lemon into mouth, make funny face, remove lemon, repeat until lemon is taken out of hand by Papa). It was hilarious. I also to got chat to two good friends that I hadn't heard from in a while. Yesterday I was at my Aunts house getting ready for my cousin's wedding and I found a picture of me and my exboyfriend Paul. It was from my other cousins wedding rehersal dinner junior year (in highschool). We look happy...it's a little bit weird.
I spent last night and a good portion of today at my friend's Jeff and Christine's house. They have three boys and things are always crazy. But also filled with love and happiness. I really love being there. I get to go back in a few weeks and that makes me smile. Christine always makes me eat until I almost explode. Jeff listens and talks, always there when I need him or when he needs someone. Alex and Jacob drag me around the house playing games and being little. Matthew just sits and does the little baby things.
Face and I went to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D. It was good times. Dunno why I felt the need to write it all down...::shrugs:: Not important I suppose. |

This guy!
Thing are plugging along. I'm tempted to say slowly, but that would be lies. I'm assitant stage managing a show and still working full time. The job is draining but rewarding. It makes me want to be a better teacher, and I actually feel myself trying harder. Funny how that happens...
Life is pretty hectic. With school, the show, thankgiving, my cousin getting married, trying to have friend, and sleeping. But I'm happy. I wish I were being a better friend lately, though. I feel like I'm squeezing everything I can into my days but still people are being left out... Must try harder!
It's a silly number of minutes past my bedtime, so I will away, for now. I promise to try harder. Nightynight, friends. |

Yesterday I had to take a stupid test for my Mass Teaching license yesterday ( a license I don't need right now). So that required getting up dumb early and driving to Boston. On my way back to my car I wandered into the Harvard Bookstore. I bought presents for Matt, Dad, Katie, and Jeni and just wandered around the place in sheer awe of the books, stacks and stacks. There was no music section, no coffee shop, and only one small rack devoted to Harvard Bookstore paraphernalia. It was heaven. I'm making Katie take me back.
First 15 hours back at showcase in 11 months were successful. Only had to void 1 item and upsold me little heart out, so now I must procure a new one. I'm glad to be back. Sometimes it's comforting to know that somethings don't really change. Other time it's scary, but this time it's good, at least for me. It was nice to chat with Alicia and shoot the shit with Charlie. I actually enjoyed following directions, being a goodish employee, and upselling ::gasp::. I know the honeymoon won't last long, but it's nice to know that I have matured at least a little bit, although I still have my moments. I have changed for the better and this is exciting.
Now I'm back home after father's day dinner with the family. It was all four of us, which is rare and therefore exciting. I've been helping my momma understand her new and flangled iPodNano.
And now I plan on reading and going to bed early. Yes, I'm a thrilling lady of the town. |

I have a JOB!!!
Yes, I know I already have a job at Showcase as popcorn wench, extradinaire, but now I have a real job teaching the little 'uns for the up and coming schooo year. I'd been there 5 times for interviews since I returned home. Dan says that every visit after the first one counts twice, so in that light it's really 9, but I think he's making it up. But, however you add it up, I was there a lot and really liked the place, job, and people. The Head of School called to offer me the job today and said I was the top for the position. ::wiggles::
So, starting at the end of August I will be a fifth grade teacher at the Wolf School in East Providence (or Rumford for those of you who are 'hip' and 'with it').
In other news, my bed has made it's return to my room and with the assistance of one who is a wee bit taller, fuzzier, and gruffer then I, have moved the majority of mine possessions back into mine room. This is very exciting. So now the bulk of my daytime hours will be taken up with getting things a place to live and putting them there (feel free to offer assistance or at least someone to talk with).
See if you can identify the erroneous information in the title, it's fun and easy! |

My parents and cousin are in the air and on their way here. My classroom is packed and sitting next to my couch. My apartment is mostly packed or at least out of the cabinets (or with the cabinets open so I can see the stuff) and on the counters. Paperwork and things are on their way to being all set, or at least as all set as they can be.
I'm excited to be going home. I hope Tycho is going to be okay...

I am going to tell you a story. A sad story. Of two friends, the best of friends, who presently find themselves slipping away from each other and unable to stop it.
Closer friends have been had by your author, but more heartbreak at the parting, has not. A love was had, this is to be sure. But it never was of the romantic type. It was always much more simple than that. For over a year they were most always together. They helped each other out of the darkest of times. Supporting ang guideing, always solid, always there.
Now their relationship is breathing it's last. It barely survives on borrowed time and memories of what it had been. No one is at fault, there is no blame.
If only there were some way to fix it all. To whole their friendship without halving any others... None that I can see. But who knows, really. |

I am making a move. No, I am not currently talking about the one to Florida. The move of which I am speaking is to a new livejournal. I am going to keep this one for now. But the new one will (hopefully) chronicile my journey to Florida for all interested parties. Feel free to add it as a friend as you see fit. That is all.
