lathriel-I have a job! HOORAY! I am my parents "bitch" while they start up their new business, The Green Buffalo. I'm their creative consultant, their site designer, their videographer should they decide to do instructional videos, their researcher, their press person, brainstormer, and one day I will be their office and shipping manager. Woot! This is awesome for so many reasons, and all of them fall under the umbrella of this fact: so many details of this job are EXACTLY what I asked for when I made my lists of positive aspects and things I wanted in a job. Who knew I'd find it at home? I'm not making tons of money- I'm starting at $10/hour- but it's more than enough to get by. Because...
-...so long as I get the go-ahead from Jared, we've got an apartment! Almost literally right next door to where I live now! Haha. I called Bilbo (my landlord, haha) about a 2 bedroom apartment they had listed in Kenmore, and he called me back saying "You know there's a 2 bdrm available in your complex, right?" No i did not! Now I do! I saw it this morning and it's perfect. It's about 100 square feet larger than the place I have now, perfect for a bedroom and an office. Still has a big living room, a dining room, a kitchen (this one has a cute tiny little broom closet :O). I already know the neighborhood. I know we'll have infinite hot water! And it's still on the 3rd floor, so I still get everyone else's heat in the winter, which is still included in the rent, which is only $645. Woot! April 15th is the move-in date. We're going to paint, I think, before we move. Spend what I would have on a moving truck, on paint! haha
-The not so awesome, is I learned that the lead singer from my favorite band of all time, Sparklehorse, killed himself last week- shot himself in the heart, to be precise. This makes me sad on so many levels. Not a hero-worship OMGPRINCESSDI kind of sad, but just... :( It's not a band that is easy to get into, and to be frank the lyrics often don't make any sense. But in the choice of words and sound and deliverance of song everything coalesces into something I found profoundly beautiful. I've always wanted to see him play live- and there are very few musicians I've ever wanted to see play live, and now I never will. The artist is gone, and his art flows no more. The songs that have been so inspirational, so meaningful, so heartwrenchingly good to me for nearly ten years... they all still exist. But there will never be any more of their kind. It's a hard thought to think.
But, on the whole, life is good and things are shaping up and opportunities abound! The Universe still loves me after all! Not that I ever thought it didn't... ;D
