Taking opportunities

More than a year ago, I had a relationship with someone. As it turned out he lead me along, and then turned to ice. I had every right to be upset. But he also inspired me to expect more from myself, and to try new things. In a way I suppose I should be happy I met up with him. I'm trying new things and it's paying off.

avacado bubble tea

I tried the avacado bubble tea at a local Vietnamese retaurant. (I've also ordered something different for a main dish ea. time I've been there. It's a part of my try something new trend.) And it's delicious! It's got a light, buttery taste and a beautiful green color. Bubble tea, incase you didn't know, is like a fruit smoothie with tapioca "bubbles" in it as well. I've had strawberry and mango as well. I'm addicted to it.

Moon, music, drive and coffee

Now..... the sort of blogging I've been wanting to do!

I was driving home from dance class the other night, and mind you, I felt pretty insecure at class. I was having one of those days. I hadn't worn a warm enough coat and had done some walking later, so I was in a little bit of a mood. But on the way home, I had one of "those" moments. You know? Those moments where you relax, and your view on the world shifts into an entirely more optimistic focus? Yeah, one of those moments. Anyway, the moon was so beautiful. A light golden yellow 3/4 moon that highlit the edges of the large billowy clouds, turning the edges a light blue against the darkest of midnight blue sky. I had a nice cup of coffee and some beautiful arabic music playing, and it was one of those moments you just want to grab hold of and keep. Writing about it helps me recapture it. I didn't have a camera with at that time, but maybe I can capture the scene in clay, or paint.......

Blogs and blogging, I just don't get it

So I'm finally into the blogging craze. Actually I'm feeling a little "mixed" about it right now. Even though I started a blog of sorts on the earliest editions of my webpage (basically all it was a journal of what I'd been up to for friends to read, typed out in html)...... at the same time I've never really gotten the point of blogging, though I do enjoy reading some blogs. I felt that for me to write a blog would be presumptious. I mean who would want to read about my thoughts on the newest commerical for Geico? Or who wants to read about how I haven't dug out my winter clothes yet even though it's cold here? (People seem to blog their opinions about the simplest of things like that.) On the other hand, I like to write, and writing clears my head. Perhaps all of that doubt was ocd anyways.

First post

You know something? In my about me section I forgot to put perfectionist. That's what's been keeping me from writing this first post anyways. What do I write about, and how do I make it interesting? Well technically that's what I should be learning in school right now, as I'm in an English class. Anyways I decided to stop procrastinating and do this! Another thing I probablly should have mentioned is that I'm also obsessive compulsive. I have another blog where I've been writing about my ocd stuff. (If you're curious look under the blogs I'm following and look for "ocd support group") Anyway, those postings go easily, way easy. It's simple to pick a topic, say something like "less washing" and write about it. New topic? Simple! New post. Here the distinction is less. I don't know what my main goal of having a blog is, anyway. I know that it clears my head to write. So who knows? Maybe this will be my little spot to rant away on my keyboard.
