i think this might be a better idea... way better than sending a hardcover journal half a world away (chicago to bangkok and back again). way to go, boo...
i wanted to call this blog "Interludes: Miss Independent and the Accidental Bouncer" but it was too long. womp womp. but this ain't bad, either. for anonymity's sake, i will sign my posts as such and you can call yourself whatever... SpiderMonkey, Pudgy Chicken, Miss Independent, etc...
my hope is that life doesn't get in the way so much that i neglect this blog, yknow? i'm officially a nite owl. my hours are anywhere from 8PM to 3 or 4am, sleep for five or six hours and then off to the gym or breakfast or wandering around or looking for a full time job that isnt there. sigh. i miss bangkok. forever summer over there. a playground without a fence. and there you are waaaaay over there wanting to face the razor-sharp cold of chicago's winds. you're bananas, woman!
and i'm hungover. should be looking through the want ads or taking a nap before heading out again.
can't help but remember where i was this time last year and how, right now, i'm so... not where i should be. i'm floating. but i'm learning. and i'm loving the learning experience. i'm grateful for what i have and for the job that fell in my lap and the great people i met because of it. so if this is an interlude until i return to the city of chaos, then it is indeed a most righteous interlude.
i'm growing stronger and more confident. that's a welcome feeling because i felt so frustrated and lost the first few months back in chicago. i wonder who i'll be when i get back... if you'll notice a difference... hell, if there even is a difference.
and i believe you're going thru the same thing, boo. i read your facebook from time to time and you seem to be like me. floating. but trying hard to float in the right path. ha! "3 years from now and i'll be richer than you!" that's why you're the biggest jerk in southeast asia!
for the sake of embedding some sort of chronology to this, i will go back and forth to fill you in on the past few months... hope you'll do the same.
it's 417pm, chicago time. 417am, bangkok time. it was nice talking to you today. a bit strange but still...
talk soon,
the accidental bouncer
