Homelessness

Ah to be homeless. I must say it makes time fly by faster than you can imagine. And it makes for minimal down time which can make any person go crazy. To not impose is to not over extend your stay at any one place...which makes living moment to moment a skill of communication, poise, and organization. And it also becomes a game of who you know. And you find out who your real friends are. :)

So that's been me. I've had minimal down time, and have rarely stayed in one place during the day for more than a few hours...with the exception of times of sleeping. Can't say I've got all the skills down, but I manage to get by, get things done, and have a little bit too much fun along the way. I doubt there's been a dull moment yet. A few disappointments yes, but they are expected.

But wow...how my life has taken so many changes this summer. It's definitely dividable into chapters of what I'd like to think would be an interesting book...story of my life lol. This last chapter of my summer has been the most intriguing by far. The people I knew here on internships have for the most part ended and left. Some I won't see again...but most have already gone back to SLO. That is where I need to be, but at the same time I don't want to leave this place yet...not yet.

So the last chapter begins with the beach house. At this point I have made a new group of friends that have helped shape me and learn more about myself...in a sense...the hard way lol. And I have now had my immersion into an official party person label that I need now get myself out of. You know...the kind where weekends start on Thursday and don't end until Monday morning lol. But that's because I am living moment to moment and don't have to worry about work or school. It lasted all of two weeks that I could afford lol. I added more guys to my interest list and had my first dilemma of actually liking more than one guy and not knowing which one I liked better. Hehe it was more of something fun for me. I'm leaving the area so it's not exactly like I could let myself get attached anyways...although I wouldn't let that cancel out future options lol. Anyways...

I've become really really good friends with one of the guys, almost to the extent of dating, but not really. We wouldn't work out. We're not each other's types. We don't share a lot of the same dating ideas or personality traits...although that might have been a recent change for me over the summer. But it's turned this into a unique friendship. Someone I like, but don't at the same time? Haha hmmm. Guess you can say I've very fond of my new friend. I had two friends like that in SLO...they were so close and did everything together you'd think they were dating...but they weren't and I couldn't figure out how that worked. Now I understand lol. And I love it.

As for the others, I think I've finally shifted to one. I mean, it's obvious, but for now I'm just having fun. I'm leaving the area, so I want something that will at least last with my final wave goodbye...and friendships last. So that's all I got for now.

Panda Express last week gave me a fortune that said this..."Prepare yourself for life-altering changes in your personal life". Don't think I'll be taking this little fortune cookie lightly ever...whether it came now (appropriately), or even any time in my future. My life is definitely changing constantly...and definitely never dull. :)
