Whoa... an update?

Oh... oh but it is!

So in these past few months some pretty amazing stuff has happened. Work is going well as always and the dude is doing good.

I now am officially living in an apartment now with two awesome (and might I add hella cute) roommates in a safe neighborhood in Queens. Rent's cheap and I finally have my own room and a bed. That's moving on up.

Plus I also recently purchased an awesome pair of Reebok High Tops which I'm stoked about, a cute denim vest, and something big is on its way soon after finances are situated.

I'm loving life right now and just enjoying my time with my co-workers, roommates, friends, and family. With a huge burden of my shoulders, now I'm just focusing on bettering myself health wise, getting a handle on budgeting/finances, and listening to as much thrash as possible. That's a dream every girl wants.

Festival season is about to start soon and with a little less then two weeks to go I'm stoked. I got the C U LaTour to see, Gigantour lineup, Shai Hulud, Trap Them, Cold World, Municipal Waste, and effin' Overkill... oh yeah!

Yeah if you wish to inquire, just shoot a message my way- I'll respond.

Man I have three Christmas parties this week, and somehow within all that I need to do some Christmas shopping, laundry, and pack for home. This week is going to kill me, but hey for the chance at seeing some awesome people and in good spirits... it's well worth it.
