Split Personality

Okay so there is Amy who is home and there is Amy who goes out. When I am home, I want to collect my thoughts, chill out, eat, watch tv, read, not talk, and just be in my own world. When I go out, I want to throw down drinks, talk it out, laugh, eat, dance, flirt, etc. When I am come home I am prepared to simply focus on me. When I go out I am prepared to focus on others. Who I am when I am home is in a lot of ways someone who is a lot different from that girl who goes out. Am I the only one like this? It seems as though I have been called out on how I act when I am home versus when I go out and I don't see how I can be the same person in both situations when one is personal and the other is social? If your roommate has guests over do you stop, sit down, and socialize when you might be coming home to just veg out in your own space and your own world? Sure saying hi is always polite but what if you just go straight to your room? Does this create a negative atmosphere? In any case what I have realized is that you reach a certain point where you can either continue to live with people or you don't b/c you just want to live in your own little world. Hence my decision to move, yet again, back in with my parents. I need to buy my own damn place and need the open door (thank you mom and dad!) to save. OR I am moving out of the area b/c I found a professional librarian position in another state and thus I will be making more and being able to afford my own place. Which ever comes first needless to say, I will always from here on out be living on my own.

Falling apart from laughter

I walked into Sally's office today to ask her about something and all of a sudden she goes, "I had a friend send me the craaaaziest, craaaziest link" (side note: she does emphasize words in this way when she is really surprised by something). She informed that she was so amazed by that video but that it is no surprise since the email came from her friend who is a "young friend" of hers who is working on his PHD in Biochemistry. So take a look at what Sally was amazed by:

Photostuff

(Self-portrait from newest pinhole pictures!)
I am back on the 8:22 photo project! I was looking through the pictures I took for my same time 365 pictures and realized that it had been really therapeutic for me to do them. Some day when I have more time I am going to write a little snippet about where I was in my life in those 2 & 1/2 months, where I took a picture every day at the sametime, and why I think I stopped.
So, anyway, I am excited to start this project again with where I am now. I wish I hadn't stopped, but I realize I needed to, to get my head together and figure out what this project means to me. It turns out it that taking a picture at the same time every day and sharing it with the world really is important to me! Ha! Go figure.
Anyway here is a link

A magical walk

Yesterday evening Ashley, Amanda, and I took the dogs to Bryan Park for a walk. The sun was out when we started but by the time we made it to the park big dark clouds rolled up on us. Down came the rain but it wasn't too bad that we had to end our walk. So partly covered by the trees we trekked on through the rain. The fun began with the rain actually because it was light enough and not too cold. We rounded the azalea's with bright colors of lavender, hot pink, light pink, white....and the trees with budding green leaves. The dogs were extra frisky with joy of playing in the rain and puddles. The rain eventually stopped and out came the sun again but this time joined by a rainbow, and not just one rainbow but two! From one end to the other there were two beautiful rainbows we wanted to catch. We came upon a clearing by the tennis courts and soccer fields to stop and take in the majestic beauty of sky. We were giggly with joy over how pretty the rainbows looked and wonderment about where the pot of gold was. Well to me, the gold was that walk spent with the girls, the dogs, and the nature. Sometimes you want more and you want to do more but really it it is moments that are as simple as a walk in the park that can really make you feel as though you have everything you need. I am loving how sappy this blog is sounding but deal with it.
Random note: On our way back Ashley spotted (hence her finger pointing) a baby bird egg which was sad but pretty at the same time. I thought I would add this pictures b/c it just went along with all that we were discovering on that spring evening.
Random note #2: Thank goodness for Amanda and never being without her phone. She was able to document our walk with her camera phone, thanks for the pictures A!

Softball? No, more like batting practice

Friday, I played in the 3L-v-Faculty Staff softball game at U of R. I knew it was going to be bad considering that people didn't have gloves, didn't know we needed gloves (Sally, thought the ball was soft enough to catch w/out a glove), and people were refusing to pitch. In any case, we lost 30-0. It was still fun though b/c it was a lovely day and we got to at least bat every inning. Best part was seeing Sally finally hit the softball on her very last swing of the game, yaay Sally! Btw the infamous Sally (my boss), is the second row with grey hair, black sunglasses, and white t-shirt. She is awesome.
