A lot of things have changed for me recently. I am now in college at Northern Illinois University pursuing my journalism career. I work at the newspaper here and eventually will post my newspaper articles on my website for the people who care to read them. I live in the dorms. I was worried about getting assigned a random room mate without having to fill out any surveys about preferences or anything. I did luck out and get put with a cool girl that I get along with well. I haven't really made that many friends here yet, but I'm trying slowly. It's not a personality trait of mine to make friends fast.
I have seven tattoos now. I have three on my lower back which are a barcode with a star on either side. On my elbows I have two stars and on my wrists I have birds. I love my tattoos, but probably won't get any more until I turn 21 and get "The Scream" by Edvard Munch tattooed on my back.
I have a new boyfriend now named Joey. He is a great guy and I finally found someone who treats me right after several bad relationships this past year. Joey and I have very similar personalities and the exact same sense of humor. I really enjoy spending time with him and although he lives in Chicago, he still comes to visit every weekend. I plan on driving to Chicago in the winter to visit him and making this relationship last.
I took a year off to work and ended up dating people I normally would not have. It definitely gave me new views on myself and opened my eyes to other people's lives. I think it also helped my writing career for the fact that I have new experiences to draw upon.
I'm going to try to continue to update this website as regularly as possible. Now I have more time on my hands to do absolutely nothing and instead of just looking at random websites I can be working on my own.
