short timer's disease is in full force! one and a half more days of rotting in my stale office. about 47 hours and we will be on our way to chicago!
i have 95% of my stuff packed - a few things i can't figure out what to do with yet (a printer, glass cooking bowls, etc), but i'll figure it out in due time. need to clean my apartment BUT the crazy kids at work are taking me out tomorrow night, so who knows how much i'll actually get done before the movers come on friday.
i'll pick chris up from the airport in a packed car and we're going to get the hell out of dodge as quickly as possible. even if we only make it to texarkana, at least i'll be out of texas for good. my mom sounds great, my dad sounds better, and i can't think of anything else i'd rather be doing then moving back and beginning fresh in a new city with a wonderful man.

tonight, i signed the papers for a job in chicago as a project engineer. 15% pay increase and 15 days of vacation.
chris (yes, scrim) will be here 3 weeks from today to help me move into his place. best boyfriend ever <3
i'll leave my crap in storage until his lease is up and we'll move to a bigger place with room for ALL OF YOU TO COME VISIT US.
it's the best day of my life :)

so, i was getting impatient and chris agreed that even though we don't know what is going to happen in the next couple of months, that i should come see him this weekend. he even offered up his free ticket voucher.
HOWEVER, i aced my phone interview today and the company wants to bring me up for a visit. i really was impressed with them so far, too. i conned them to an interview on friday with a return flight on sunday, so now i get to see him on someone else's bill :) hopefully this flight will count on my frequent flyer miles because i'm only one flight from a free voucher myself.
i am so excited :)

and i don't feel any different....
to be honest, i thought i would feel the same as last year. but i don't. 2007 was hard for me - alienated from my family and friends, in an unhealthy relationship and miserable in texas.
2008 has already blown my mind. sure it's 1am and i just got back and i have to work at 5 tomorrow, but i almost don't even care. i have new plans, to move to chicago, close to my friends, closer to my family.
he kissed me at midnight in a drunken sweaty mess and a smile actually appeared on my face for the first time in well over a year. i was really worried that i had complicated my situation beyond repair and here i sit with the most wonderful boy in the world dreaming about me :) i got really drunk at several bars and then we went dancing. i don't think i've ever felt this great about myself and the decisions i've made - i only wish i would have made them sooner.
i am totally confident that this will be the best year of my life.

christmas was awful. i spent most of my week in bed crying.
consumerism really bothers me and watching my family go nuts over whose present was the fanciest made me sad.
my parents love me, but i don't want to end up like them. i don't know who i am anymore, and this really makes being awake hard.
my friend deployed to afghanistan last night. i spent all day trying not to cry.
i go back to dallas tomorrow and then to chicago. i am so scared about chris, about the job interview, about the move.
i'm so fucking confused and completely devastated. i'm old enough to know better than to end up in this mess again.
