Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

The start of another summer.
bare feet, the smell of tanning lotions, warm weather, concerts, gardening, and all the other little things that make the season the best season of all.
I am super stoked!

This year, my house mates and i are planning a plethora of events that are sure to be much fun.
Concerts are a staple, since we live in pittsburgh.
Im not sure what we will be going to, as we kinda just go as they come up.
sky diving has been talked about a few times and is doable, since the prices are not very high.
and of course, hanging out with the gang as often as possible.
since we have a nice big house, i am hoping to have more parties and start connecting with more people.
being in the city, you would think we would have so many more friends, but unfortunately, we are not as cool or as social as we think we are.

my birthday is also soon.
april 3 and i turn 21.
i am hoping to be able to actually check out some of the bars around here.
nothing would thrill me more than to be able to order my own drink legally.
but i am not into the whole club scene, since there are just too many idiots to deal with, so i dont think it will be a monumental event.

havent been making anything new lately since im working now.
havent had the modivation or the time to sit down and make anything.
unlike everyone else who calls themselves an artist, i get my fixes in spurts.
when im not in the creative fueling mood, i dont practice or even attempt to make anything else.
i simply hate when i try to half a** something and it comes out all wrong.
so unless im inspired and already have something in mind to make, i just leave my stuff up in the attic to collect dust.
id rather have a handfull of great pieces than a boat load of shitty ones.

the boys are doing ok.
b is kinda having a crisis.
he wants to be independant and has the knowledge and education to be, but he cant find an opening anywhere.
it pisses him off and makes him feel like crap that he cant provide for himself and that he is in debt to both mike and his parents.
i think soon he is going to be leaving us, making this house a lot bigger and more quiet, which i cant say that i will like.
me and b just recently started really getting to know each other, and he's a cool dude.
i am seriously going to miss him if he does leave.

mike, on the other hand, cannot be happier.
lately, he's been talking alot about munchkins and settling down and what he wants to do with the rest of his life.
i dont know what changed that he is suddenly wanting to be like this, but im not complaining.
lately, he is very cuddly and wants to just lay around rubbing his face on my neck and chest.
its kinda girly, but its cute to see him like this.
we havent dicussed having kids just yet, cause i dont think i am ready for them ,but i wouldnt be surprised if he brings it up in the near future.

money wise, things are getting a little rough.
i just got a job, which is paying well, so i can kinda support us a bit in between the weeks that he isnt getting paid.
its not much, but its enough to get by.
the gas bill and the money i still have to give for my old apartment are really kicking us in the a**, but the winter is almost over and my lease is over in may, so the money should be free within two months.
and we're going to need it if we are seriously going to do all the crap we keep talking about.
and for some reason, mike keeps wanting to seriously save.
its stressing him out that he doesnt have money set aside, but he cant tell anyone what he needs it for.
he just keeps saying that he needs to have it for emergencies.
which is understandable, but we make enough money where we can handle unexpected things fairly easy.
so this sudden need to horde away money makes me think even more that he is preparing for a family.
but, i could be completely wrong.
i guess we will just have to wait and see what he's up to.

and im thinking this is the end of the entry for now.
ive got other things to do.
