An ordinary evening

The camera pans up a modern apartment complex in Seattle. Pans up onto an outdoor balcony of the tenth floor apartment. Pans up a girl, something of a woman, who stands with her arms bent on the railing, gazing out at the lights from across the Puget Sound. Her profile is darkened by shadows, as the light from inside spills out around her. Her hair is caught by a light breeze passing by, but her expression is neutral. 

I stood at the rail of the balcony, looking out over the water. The night was warm, the apartment even more so, but the breeze caused a slight chill.

He came up behind and wrapped his arms around me, comforting me, lending me some of his warmth. After a few minutes, he started kissing from one of my bare shoulders to the other and back slowly, letting his lips linger after each kiss.

I turned around, still in his arms, so we were facing, and put my hands against his chest. We kissed and as we looking into each other's eyes, I knew something was on his mind.

No more.

Summer 2012 goals!

So these are a little late, considering July is almost half over.  However, since summer doesn't really start until July 4th here in Seattle, I think they are totally reasonable :)

Summertime and the livin's easy...NOT.

As the rush comes...

It's a common theme that I never keep up with my blogging. And that "so many things have happened!" But it's all true. Here's some of what I wrote in my notebook months ago...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this whole blogging initiative has not gone so well. I attribute it to not having a lot of time outside of work to sit and write something - which becomes much harder when I am supposed to be ridiculously creative at work.


Or maybe I just haven't figured out how to balance having a life and having a job? I think it's a definite factor.


Needless to say, things have changed a lot since I last really updated this (understatement of the year).


Short recap: I am employed. I have been offered an internship. I broke up with my last college boyfriend. I have dabbled with "grown-up" dating. The Doritos Taco had a wider release in America (but I heard it's not so good). The Hunger Games movie released and it was fantastic. I got blackout drunk on my first St. Pat's Day - during which I was kicked out of a bar, fell off of a friend who was giving me a piggyback ride and yelled at a douchebag - none of which I remember. I've judged photo contests. I had an interview go mildly popular on the Internet.


It has been a busy time.
