Sooooo I don't usually like to write. I'm a very VISUAL person. Like majored in VISUAL Arts. But, I've got a lot on my mind and I think some of it might be entertaining. At least it will get it off my mind I guess. Like who goes from a notoriously high-profile partying school like Duke to living in a 55+ community? Who says "this is a good career move for me?" I do, bitch. Not that there haven't been, well, "incidents" with me living here. It hasn't been perfect. It has been nice though, don't get me wrong. Apart from the obvious being away from Chris thing. But in all honesty it has been amazing and wonderful to spend this time with my grandma and grandpa, since I hardly saw them growing up. I guess I didn't explain how I came to live in said retirement community. After school, both Chris and I decided that job-wise it would be smarter for me (us) to stay out East, since I majored in such a career savvy subject.
So I moved in with my grandma, which honestly has suited me fairly well, as I've never been the hard partying type. But the 55+ community hasn't embraced me quite as warmly. *SNIFF* For instance, there is the now infamous "Shovel Incident." I had cheerfully, willingly, helpfully done some shit in the garden for my grandma, and there was some dirt clumped to the shovel. So to get the dirt off I decided to knock the shovel against the concrete step. BAD MOVE. ERROR. The lady across the street, from now on known on as "Death on Wheels,™" decided that my banging of the shovel was VERY offensive behavior, and decided to shriek repeatedly to "knock that racket off!"

Whoops?


Sorry?


Also, I have noted that listening to the Exploding Hearts at high volumes has had negative consequences around the neighborhood.

"Death on Wheels™" isn't the only one who has had to "adjust" to my living here. For instance, the cleaning ladies are VERY confused. In BIG LETTERS confused. I guess the dichotomy of my big amp and electric guitars added to my Edward Cullen action figures is "disconcerting" and has led to " confusion" about my age. Whatever, they sure do seem to like arranging my ACTION FIGURES, NOT DOLLS into different poses, so I don't care. Next up: a LITTLE problem with Twilight and a BIG problem with over-capitalization.
