Mixed emotions

I'm happy to say that my cute, independent, Portland-city sis arrived this morning! I'm so happy to see her; it's been at least 6 months! I haven't seen her since before she moved out of C-town! Time flies by us, so it feels just like old times once we get together. She really doesn't like the city I live in, and I'm sure she'll be happy to get back to her life when the end of her visit rolls around, but it's really nice to hang out with her while she's here.

Strange world!

I'm starting to wonder if I really don't like living in the city. I can never make my mind up. I get bored everywhere I go. So the reason I'm "down" on the city is because I have to ride the bus, and I'm unhappy that I am forced to experience the city in this way. When I moved here, I was so excited to just breathe in the dirty, rotten, polluted air; ride the dirty, stinky lightrail (by choice at the time); and watch the weirdos and dirty bums stagger around this lovely place we call a city. I wanted it all! I couldn't wait to leave the country of boring days and even more boring nights. SCRREEECCCHHH!!! And that's where the fun ends...and real life begins. There's nothing like waiting for a bus and being surrounded by grey-bearded homeless men, all the while they are yelling at you for not giving the money, then staring at you with a look that could quite possibly mean "kill". Well, I lived through it thanks to the kindness of a lady that was parking near a car lot and she waited with me until the bus arrived. As The Doors once said, "People are strange, when you're a stranger". In this case, I hope to stay a stranger to those guys, because no matter how friendly I am, they will always be strange.

Having trouble posting

Hi all,
I really am trying to post something new, but for some reason nothing is showing up.

July, really?

Hi all!
I can't believe my last post was in July! I am officially a procrastinator. But hey, here's a short update, then I'll post something really cool another time. First, I'm not in C-Town anymore, though I do miss some of the things about it. I really miss the fresh country air; the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that I could see from the surrounding open land. Okay, that's about all I miss. I am glad that I am living in a city, even if it happens to be this one. I am trying to find cool places to eat and spend my time. So far so good. I found a really cool restaurant the other night called The Happy Sumo, and their food is great! I felt like I was in Portland! It's nice to see that there is more innovation in Salt town than when I lived here before. I'll keep you all updated more often. I think I'm out of my funk and that always makes me happy to post more often.

Moving on up?

I'm moving out of C-town soon, so I guess that is reason enough for the "cosmos" to send endless friends my way. I've haven't hung out with anyone for at least a month, then suddenly this week I made two new friends, (girls!), go figure, not to mention their friends they've introduced me to. All instant friends. I met one girl that is my age, then went out with her where I met the other girl. So friendly, nice, they give me hugs and it feels like I've known them forever.
Secondly, I get a text out of the blue today from a guy I sorted dated when he lived here. He's coming to visit in October; I haven't spoken to him in at least two months! I also met a guy that is from Eugene, Oregon, and I feel bad that I decided not to date cause I'm moving, but wow, he's cute, 29 years old, a fireman, and cute. Oh yeah, said that. There are a few other examples of friends calling me, etc., that I had to turn a few down just to have some alone time! (I know, I'm never satisfied.) So my gosh....I can't help but think...what changed? My attitude about what I am attracting because I'm happy I'm moving, and people are picking up on those feelings, or what?
