 For the first time in my life I am truely alone









and it is by far the most unnerving thing that I have ever experienced.





I moved away from home in order to find a good job,  since absolutely NOBODY is hiring at home.   Everyone seems to be mad at me for this decision, claiming that I didn't "try hard enough" to find work, but in all honesty I did.   I applied to just about everywhere in the mall, answered ads in the paper, and even advertised/handed out work flyers to just about anyone.

I refuse to be a waitress
I refuse to work at a low end job that I won't be happy at.


So now I'm working as a personal assistant , and I work every day except for sunday.  Pay is AMAZING, and the guy I'm working for is cool.




My only problem is that I have nobody out here in White Plains,  and I fucking miss everyone.  It's not like school, where I had friends with me and I didn't miss home at all.  Out here I am alone, completely alone.   And it's hard.


But I'm not giving up.


I'm getting stronger and preparing myself for the world that is to come very, very shortly.

 

 

So fuck all of you who make snide remarks in my direction about my decision.

 

I am independent, and I am able to put myself into a setting that is wholly unfamilair with ease.  I am able to help myself out without anyone supporting my ass.  I am able to break free and survive on my own.

 

 

What can you do?

It's been a while since my last update and I don't know where to start.

Life has been,...well...amazing.  It never ceases to amaze me with the lessons I learn each day, and the people I let into my life. 

I have opened up more to others in this past year, than I have previous years since I moved here to New York.  To be honest, most people don't know about my life before I started ninth grade...except for the small bits about me living in other countries/states.  I have changed so much as a person that when I look back...I don't recognize who I even was.


A loser

A geek

A loner

Attitude

Mean

Angry

Disruptive

Eating disorder

Social disorder

pretty much damaged


I guess, in a way, I am ashamed of who I was and I bury the old Amanda underneath the massive mountains of layers I shed to become the one I am today.   A person who I am so happy with.  Slowly...slowly I am learning to trust people again [even though it has taken close to 5 years] and slowly I am letting them into my life, something I have kept closely guarded for a very very long time.

Mahh, I sound so god damn emo.

Home is good, home is great, home is extremely boring.  I can not wait until the time I return to Plattsburgh, and actually do something with my life.   To end this extended time of boorish nature, I have taken it upon myself to throw a party.  I don't know when it's going to happen, but it's going to happen soon.   I just have to notify the correct people, get money for alcohol, get the alcohol [which won't be a problem, since I am...well...a Fio Rito], and let the fun run its course.


I miss my friends.  A lot.  Which is funny, because I don't naturally miss people.   I can't wait until I move into our suite...which is probably the worst idea we have ever come up with...and just live again.   I feel so blahh here at home...I do nothing practically every day.

Except dye my hair of course.

It is now a new color!   I had gone to the store the other day intending to purchase the color I have been currently using, only to find that it was the only hair dye that was sold out.   Great huh?  Well...after two minutes of debating whether or not I should go with a new dye, I finally concluded that even though this shade is amazing amazing amazing AMAZING like woah, I needed a change.

My hair is still red, but a darker red.  More ruby in it's color, and dark....really dark.   Like...kinda brownish red dark.

I guess I like it, I'm still not sure.  

I guess that concludes my life up to now, this very moment.   I'll update as soon as I can...or as soon as something exciting happens in my life.





PEACE

I must say that starting Thursday of last week, this week has been by far the best of my entire one and a half semesters up here in P-burgh.

I have no idea what I would do without my friends, especially the "7 degrees" (hahahahahahaaaaa)

Somehow we've gotten closer within these few days, and I can't wait to be rooming with them next semester.  Our suite (crossing fingers) is going to be THE place to be.  I'm so friggin excited.



.....just a random thought.

I am,

an enigma.  or...enigmatic if that is the right term.

I came to this conclusion while taking my third hit off of Wilson's bowl last night, feeling the slight tickle as smoke filled up my lungs.  I'm not going to lie, it was a pretty good feeling...

...being high and all.



I've always wanted to try it. Just so see what the whole hype was, you know?  It's not an amazing feeling like some people say, it was just...i don't know....relaxing.  


Jess and Ju-Ju made fun, saying that I was one of those people who smoke and just sit there...chill and all.  Funny, because it's true.


Ehh, I don't see where this post is going.  I started it last night but went to bed because smoking made me tiredddd.    I'm going to end it here.
