What'd I miss?
2 min read
Well Deviants,
I have been MIA for quite a while huh? Lol. So, here is a bit of stuff I would like to share.
Right now, I am employed at two different places. The second one is fairly new and I have not started quite yet. I work at Taco Bell. I hate it. It's terrible but it gets the bills paid so, I'll do it. I have been in a very happy relationship for over two years. We live together, have two dogs, one cat who recently gave birth to kittens. We get pretty busy at home. He has a job that requires sometimes fifteen hours a day. I work between ten to thirteen hours a day at Taco Hell. We don't have a lot of money, no internet and such. No extras but we are happy.
I finally found a form of that old story I have been working on. It is revised and beautiful now. Gorgeous. Something that may actually work. It has no title right now because I am unsure of what to call it. However, I have gotten some decent work done on it. Other than that, not much happens for us. Just a regular life that we wake up to daily. Hoping things are about to turn around for us.
That's just a short update. I don't have much to say. I do need to get back to my mother's house so that I can drop a few things off and get home for lunch with my man before I go to work.
So....How are you? What'd I miss?

Hey all,
I have not been on here in quite a while. I do have some photos that I could add that are from July. I haven't done many things artistically in quite a while. Even writing, which used to come so naturally has disappeared. The only thing I can find energy for is writing Facebook statuses. That is not a useful thing whatsoever. I have struggled with many things this year, especially school.
Well, I am 20 years old now. Every day that I wake up and realize I am going to work in a factory, my heart dies just a bit. My hope tends to fade over it. The fact that I can't seem to keep money in the bank makes me feel even worse. But today is the last day of 2011. No, I am not making some stupid New Years resolution, let's face it, 98% of those fail. Instead, I am looking at 2012 as the end. Not the end of the world but the end of me doing things that I think others want me to do. Starting as soon as possible, things are going to change.
I say my head is on my future and focused on what is important but that is a lie. My head has been focused on people getting what they want for Christmas or birthdays. I have been focusing on making myself happy through material possessions. The new video games, speakers for my laptop, movies,a boyfriend, all of that. None of that is important right now. What is important is that I get what I know I want. So, my plans are forming. Of course, I am scared, more scared than I can explain. But, here is the major plan for school.
I am planning on working and saving as much as I can. (by planning, I mean I am going to do it) I will take a weekend trip up to a school where I have found a degree that I want. My work hours are now 7am to 2pm. So, once I have the gas money, I will leave a Friday after work and return sometime Sunday. It sounds like roughly 8-9 hours. It said over 500 miles. That is roughly three tanks of gas. With gas around about $3.14 each tank around $30. About $180 for gas there and back. I filled up my car today. It had a quarter of a tank left. I got 8.542 gallons at $3.149 per gallon. that was $26.90 and I had around 223 miles. If I leave right at 2 when I get off work, that'd put me there around 11-12 Indiana time. That may be the only issue. So the trip would be....two nights and one and a half-ish days? I'm thinking if I leave there around 1 on the Sunday, I'd be back not too late and could get unpacked, showered, and to bed ready for work the next morning. (If you want, please check my math.)
And now to explain the title of this journal. The Kirjailija. The is obviously English. Kirjailija is Finnish for "author". To say it correctly it is "Keer-eye-yuh". I like it. This is what my blog is. My blog is for my writing. The Blog name is actually The Divine Conspiracy by The Kirjailija. There is at least one part of the story posted there if you would like to read it. I would love it if you would. You can also look up The Kirjailija on Facebook and you will see the page that will have the links of my posts on the blog. You can follow that if you'd like. You can also follow the blog and give me any feedback or comments if you wish. I am hoping to be able to someday, afford a domain name and make a full website for the story. So, check that out. Here is the blog. thekirjailija.wordpress.com/
Well, that's all I have for right now. Bring it on 2012. Come out with your fists, let's see who wins.
Love and peace,
the Kirjailija

No Flowers? :'(
3 min read
Today is a lovely day and I went for about an hour long drive to see if I could find some flowers or wildflowers or something besides Dandelions to take macro pictures of. Sadly, no one seems to have flowers out and the wildflowers haven't really bloomed fully yet. So, I will have to wait for another day to see if some beautiful flowers puff up. I really was excited about going outside and looking for flowers. I love Macro Photography. It's really fun. It amazes me how you can make something so small and overlooked become something big and newly seen. It's going to be sunny today and tomorrow it says it is supposed to be windy. Then it's back to the crappy rain we have had. I really love Spring when it is sunny outside and I want to fly a kite. After the week or so of clouds and rain, I am finally feeling, at the very least, content. I just do not want to see all of that rain come back again.
I came home from my drive and was joking with my mom and telling her that if she stopped watching shows like 48 Hours and those, she wouldn't be so depressed. Then she says something about my Facebook statuses and me saying how I am depressed. So, to get her to shut up, I raised my voice a bit and told her I wanted to go to the doctor but we can't afford it so I'm not going. That shut her down fast. She just turned and looked at the tv. (That's what she always does you know? Just stares at the tv.) So to save them from what bit of reality and info that is actually correct about me, I put my entire family on a list and made it so that they cannot see my photos, status, anything I post. It is now very official, I have shut them out of knowing anything beyond what I tell them. I wont be changing that any time soon. They want to know, they can actually look me in the face and care. But, I am still feeling as content and good as I was when I was driving around.
I really cannot wait until the flowers are out. I do not know if I have the picture up here but I got very excited over a picture of a mosquito last year. An ex-friend of mine actually said, "Only a true photographer would get this excited about a mosquito." Maybe he was right. Anyways, I am anxiously awaiting the bugs and flowers of Spring time. I just wish it'd hurry up already!
Another thing here, I have taken a really big liking to water. I'm not sure why but I have been drinking water a lot and now I just like something sweet to drink once in a while. Water usually just does it for me. Makes me not thirsty. Sometimes, it needs a bit of help but it is usually pretty good. I have also gotten over my fear of shorts. I wear boy cargo shorts but still, my calves are something I'm self-conscious about. They are muscular and huge for a girl. Then I have also been singing quite a bit lately. Loudly lol. Really loud. I actually have had my mouth opened at work singing. Last night I got caught several times singing Pocket Full of Sunshine lol.
