how it ends

So...I'm done.

If you've been hoping that I would start updating this blog more regularly, I've been sorely disappointing you. I could say that school has been getting in the way but it hasn't been the only reason for my laxidasical posting as of late. Life has just been too much of a good thing lately and I've found more relevant and quicker ways to get out what I want to say. So rather than have this blog turn into more of a burden to regularly update, I figured I'd just put it to rest.

I've enjoyed blogging a lot. It's allowed me to have a venue to put ideas, stories and/or pictures out there that I really want to release. However, it's just not important enough to me to worry about maintaining. I'll miss it and I'm sure there are times to come soon where I will think, "I can't wait to blog about this."

I may start another blog at some other point but I feel like this one is done. If I decide to do another, I'll post a link to this page. I'm going to continue to do new things daily. Just because I haven't been posting them doesn't mean they haven't been happening. Recently, I've been house-hunting for Andrew and me. We're going to move in together which is a huge deal for me. It will involve all sorts of firsts. Also, I only have another two quarters of school to go before I'm done. I may also look at quitting my job when I'm done if things go sour. That will open up even more firsts for me.

This past weekend was wonderful for me. For the first time, I spent the Christmas holiday with just my boyfriend and dog. We took a beach trip back to Gearhart and stayed at the same house that I rented for our birthdays. It was wonderful. Tonight, we went out for Chinese food and drank Absinthe at the Rainbow Room which was served by a lovely bartender in fabulous drag. So, I'm really really happy right now.

Maybe that's why I haven't been posting more. Maybe this whole blog spawned from a gaping hole in my heart which is slowly being repaired...or maybe I've just gotten more lazy. Whatever it is, I feel like this is the right thing to do at this time. I've gone through longer stretches without updating and I just don't feel the need to pick it back up. This story has been told. Let's move on. It's been fun.
