Hey hey! Guess what! One of the smartest and most interesting people I know, Eleanor, has started a blog of her own. And it changes color right in front of your very eyes! What more could you ask for?
I guess it's time for an update of some sort, huh? OK. For a while there, when I wasn't posting much, I was dating quite a bit. But I was a bit put off from the idea of posting about it, thinking the boys might be checking out what I said about them. But now it's all over and I'm back to being pretty single. I had a 2-week break from boys that just ended because it was starting to get a bit maddening. But not in a bad way; I'm not complaining. The attention is very flattering. :)
Since my cousin Barbara and her family moved back to the USA from Turkey last summer, she has made a wonderful effort to reach out to me. It's wonderful. I'm starting to feel part of a larger family than just my immediate family, which is such a nice feeling. I've always been a little envious of people like the aforementioned Eleanor who have close ties to many branches of her family.
I spent last weekend at Barbara's, watching her 2 dogs and my aunt and uncle's dog as well. Can you imagine that? Me, with dogs? Wonders will never cease.
Tonight I went for drinks with a bunch of friends from the ol' About.com. I had a great time.
I'm about to sign my lease for a third year here in Chez Solly. Can you believe that either? I've been here in NYC for 2 years already! I'm telling ya - time flies when you're having fun. ... Which reminds me of something else I've been thinking about recently. All those chiches you hear over and over while growing up: they're cliches for a reason -- they're true. 'Time flies when you're haivng fun.' 'Time heals all wounds.' 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.' When you're a teenager, you want to believe that those kinds of things don't apply to you and that your own problems are like nothing anyone else has ever experienced; no one understands you. But now, as a pseudo-adult, as I like to call myself, I see that they're all true. And they're kinda comforting.
I think that's enough for tonight. I'm glad I'm back to posting. Hope to keep it a daily thing. Love you!
