About Me

I'm really into blogging: getting my thoughts out, sharing things about myself & getting input from those who read them. Please comment often!

I've been pretty bored of the internet lately. I sit at a computer all day long during the work week, infront of a computer. It seems that when I get home, I enjoy perusing the internet & updating my social networks a great amount less than I used to. I just want to go out with friends and live life rather than talking about it.

I've had some updates in my life since the last time I've posted on here. Major things going on with me:
*I have a new boyfriend: William Matthew Kindig, aka Bill. Here's our story: We were dedicated @ UABC together when we were babies, we went to preschool together & were each others first boyfriend/girlfriend in preschool & first kiss, LOL! We always knew each other but not really well. We each had a crush on each other it seems most of our lives. Chelsea ended up having a class @ LC with Bill last semester & they started studying together, so Bill & I started talking again & hanging out & it turned out that we each liked each other. We dated a few months ago for a very short time because I was not really ready to be exclusive with anyone. So we decided to just be friends & ended up being one of each others best friends. Long story short, months later I brought up the conversation of us having feelings for each other. It turns out that we had both prayed a lot about the situation & about each other. We decided that we would date again. We decided to be exclusive. Pretty much in the last week and a half I have been happier than I have been in a very, very long time. Some fun facts about Bill that I love: He is absolutely the sweetest guy I have ever dated. He is such a sweet talker all the time to me. We are pretty different personalities: he is very shy & introverted & I am, well very much not that. That's something that could end up being an issue but the thing we like about that difference is that I tone him up in the outgoing part & he tones me down a little bit. Also that we seemed to be compatible, despite that we are very different. We fit very well together. I have felt more comfortable around him in general for the last few months than I have with anyone. We feel comfortable to talk about anything with each other. He makes me laugh, a lot. I find myself unable to stop smiling a lot when I think about him or us. We both feel very blessed by God that He brought us together. Bill is a Christian & I've never really been able to share spirituality with a boyfriend before. He is very caring & attentive. He enjoys when I introduce him to my friends. He likes that I want him to stop smoking & that I make him wear his seat belt always. Anyway that's my new boyfriend. Yay God.

*I registered for classes @ LCCC for the fall semester. I have pretty much not done the school thing in like a whole year. I've registered for classes & even started them in the past year, but I haven't completed one of them. I dealt with a very bad Seasonal Affective Disorder-seasonal depression last year & to be honest I didn't do a whole lot of anything during that slump. Something I learned about myself last year: that I have had seasonal depression every fall/winter that I can remember in my life, I need to take medication for it mostly because it is that severe & debilitating. I have had to look past a lot of pride in this endeavor to realize that what is best for my mental/physical health is to take the medicine. I was off of the antidepressants most of this year, I stopped them in March I think. I have recently gotten back on them because I had started to feel myself beginning some of the patters that ease me back into the depression. I will not let it defeat me. I will not let it ruin another semester where I'm supposed to be finishing a semester/school. Anyway that was kind of two updates in one: I registered for classes & am determined to finish because this semester is actually about me instead of me trying to please other people by going to school, which is pretty much why I didn't care & failed before & also that I am back on my antidepressants.

*I haven't spoken to my brother Lee in now 3-4 weeks, I can't remember now. The last time I spoke to him was on my birthday. He was a complete jerk to me & I am just really mad & I feel like anything that I say to him is useless & it doesn't matter to him any amount of effort that I give, he still feels like I abandoned him. I haven't had the desire yet to let down my pride & just talk to him & apologize for any lack of effort I've given. Anyway, I almost just feel numb about it. I'm used to having brothers not in my life mostly.

Well that's pretty much all I can think about right now. That's all the big stuff. I thought I would update the world. I'm sure I'll get back into blogging on a regular basis from here on out. I'm out.
