I Got Skillz

Just finished hemming my own pants! Thanks Mom! Couldn't have done it with out having listened and watched you ALL of those MANY times! I finally did it by myself! :) I feel like I could do anything!! I could conquer the world!!!

We had a crazzzzyyy party the other night for Australian Day. There was a nice mix of international people there. Oh yeah, it was also a couch surfing party, so of course we had a bunch of weirdos :P



Tomorrow night there will be an AUF WIEDERSEHEN party for Amy and I. Last I heard she is also moving to Berlin. To the same district I will be in! I dunno, she's kind of flip flopping back and fourth. We'll see if it happens.

I'm really trying to be optimistic for my internship. I have some great ideas that I've already written out. I want to find out how the organization operates and what kind of problems its having. I've already experienced some. People don't know who does what and job descriptions are not clear. I would like to find out what the company's goals and visions are, I have a feeling they are unclear as well. Overall, it seems to be a bit behind the times as well. Not a very detailed website, no Twitter account!?

Twitter is facebook for interesting people and organizations. You wont hear about those boring average things like how drunk Aunt Sally got last night or why Tommy just broke up with Bobby... uhhmm,, yeah.

You can choose which news organizations to follow such as Forbes or BBCWorld. You can also follow President Obama, the Hip Chipmunk, the Dali Lama, Walmart Specials, or Steve Martain. Its like your little customized slice of the world :)

Then you also get people to follow you... Somehow my followers went down to 17 a couple days ago :( But I still have FlavaFlav!! If I make my posts interesting and specific enough, I could get a big following!

You know those couple of days before you start a new job, or move to a new place, or into a new big city... Yeah well I've got all of that going on at once right now so.... kind of feeling a bit overwhelmed. But I know once I get on that train... And sit with my laptop, 4 hour workweek book, delish European cappuccino,.. and perhaps the latest Zeitung... I'll feel those feelings of adventure, excitement, and passion. The sky will sparkle and seem brighter, and everything will seem more vivid yet at the same time, surreal.

I've got a blank slate here people! I can be whoever I want, and do whatever I want!

Bittersweet actually... Cuz... well I'll have to dedicate 9 hours of my day to being at ONE place. Oh yeah, and I'll have to do something..something.. uhm... what was that called again... Oh yeah, WORK!!! NNNOOOOO!!!!

I've forgotten what its like to work! I've had such a lovely past 1.5 years! And now I have to WORK again!?!?!?! NNNOOOOOOOOO

DONT MAKEEEE MEEEEE DOO IT!!!

You are so funny! Yea, it can be quite bitter-sweet when "reality" hits and you realize you gotta go back to work. It'll be worth it of course, but I can totally relate to wanting the carefree lifestyle to last a leettle longer!
Do you have a sewing machine with which to do your hemming? I swear, my sewing machine is my most favoritest thing in all the world! I'm making all kinds of stuff...and I started out with just hemming pants! It's been quite a few years now and I'd have to admit I've gotten pretty good with my skillz. The other day I made an 18th century style night cap a la Les Miserable and an apron; both from the 'Master of the House' song in Act I. Now I'm making a bird-cage cover. It's turning out really good! I'll have to take some pics and post.
Thanks for the lo-down on Twitter. Sounds like it's right up your alley...still don't think I'll check in, unless I can without becoming a member like you're forced to on Facebook. I'll have to go see...
I'll be looking for updates on the move and your first day(s) at work! Hope it all goes well...although I'm positive it will! Love you!!!

Hi Sweetheart,
Wow, lots going on with you. Can't wait to hear about how that four letter word is going for you. You've got a great attitude and that will carry you over those bumpy spots.
Take care, luv you
