four mour

i have to catch up so i'll write 4 things im grateful for.

#1. i am grateful for ohio. (i'll give you a minute to let that sink in...if its hard to do, dont feel bad...it took me almost a year) When i talk to the people in missouri i realize how much i needed to get away. i was putting SO much energy in someone elses life that i had no idea what was going on in mine..and while even though i was hundreds of miles away it stayed like that for a whle i can honestly say that now things are different for me. and i have ohio to thank. seriously.

numero dos. one of the things i am most grateful in life is probably letters. (is this stealing from marcie?) i know its gay but i have notes from friends from way back in the oregon days. obviousy not the stupid ones like can i borrow your math homework but like the good ones that mean something. if you saw my journal youd probably make fun of me until i died....it is FULL of printed emails and instant messaging conversations. Sometimes i take sentences or even paragraphs out of the letters ive been given ..but never mentioned..for example a letter marcie gave me one time. im pretty sure i have it memorized just from reciting it to other people when they needed it too. so im grateful for letters and the reasoning behind them.

this picture doesnt really have to do with anything but its funny.

three. That i care enough to vote.

fo': my job at marshalls. i cannot post without mentioning the m word. but its true. i get at least 8 calls a day from people calling to check up on their applications and i dont wnt to tell them that we have gotten over 100 (literally) in the past 2 weeks. so it makes me thankful that even though i thought i had the worst interview ever that my boss hired me. without it i would probably still be wearing pajamas all day and staring at the wall. or working 4 hours a week at limited too. its probably been the best thing for me since i got my hair straightened..(joke)
