Blogging in the safety of my home while outside Fay is dropping tons of rain and whipping trees around like they are wet noodles. It is amazing, a little scarey and lonely - weather like this should be for couples. oh la la...
So, I have made the top 20 with my script in the BlueCat Competition. HOLY SCHINIKEES!!!! Saying a little prayer...
And now for the juicey stuff. Ugh - men. What the heck is up with me and men? I've had two great relationships in my 38 years - one lasted a year and one lasted six years. That's a lot of single years. So, here's my graduation plan. I'm taking boxing lessons. Uh huh - boxing. Have to take out that frustration on something. Besides sweating is good for one's skin.
Off to - do something....
Have fun in life - don't take yourself so seriously...

My no title Blog
It's Wednesday, I just got out of cisco class and I'm too pooped to think about a good title for this blog. I have two more weeks of school and two more days before I start my new job.
Still mourning Teddy, he was such a good kitty. So beautiful, elegant, graceful, playful - he is so missed!
I made the semi-finals for my script in the Bluecat competition - this could be a great break. But if I don't win I will keep trying...
I just keep on trucking...

My roller coaster week....
This week has been full of highs and lows gallore! Tuesday morning one of my rescue cats died. Not sure of the cause but he was such a sweetie! We called him Teddy, cuz he was just such a teddy bear. Even at only a year and a hal old he was a quite a big cat, much like his father. His paw almost covered my palm (I have small hands but still.) He would curl up on top of your shoes, purrrr when you rubbed him belly and he would flop over so you reach his tummy, he was a beauty too. His gray stripes were thicker than most tabbies - very prominent. Teddy will be missed terribly.
But on the good side of things, I got a new position - interface engineer. A challenging job, but I am ready for. I am so glad to be getting out of my previous position. It was so demanding - the software was unstable and I didn't have a life. It was crashing all the time, slow as mudd and too many issues.
My mom and I are fighting - and as you might already know she lives with me so that makes it fun. Apparently I am too soft-hearted. Wow! In this world, too soft-hearted. I would think that was a pretty good thing. But guess once again, I'm wrong.
Now for the best news! I made it to the semi-finalists in the BlueCat competition. 75 out of 7,000. Not bad, not bad at all! I'm already spending the winnings in my head (not really, but 10,000 bucks could come in handy). But more than the money, I want to know that the one thing in this life I have felt like I was good at is within my reach. I hear about people being natural at something, I have been writing movies on paper and in my head since I was in the second grade. I can see the movies in my head - much like sitting down to watch a movie. Sometimes the thoughts come so fast I can't keep track of them. I love it! It's what I live for. Just hope this is enough to get my career ball rolling.
Here's to dreams - even if they dont' come true, we can certainly strive to reach them.
