The Up & Up.

So here I am. Blogging. After yet another 394458951 month hiatus. I have no idea where to start!

I think the main reason I decided to take up writing again, if I'm being honest, was the re-awakening of my tween-age desire to be just like Carrie Bradshaw (there have been a lot of "Sex and the City" marathons on E! lately). :P But I've also come to realize that I try to create a new writing habit whenever I'm at the beginning of something. A new job, new home, new school year. This time, it's the very beginning of summer. (: Let's see if I can manage to chronicle more than two weeks of it, haha.

Speaking of new beginnings, I'll also be starting a new Co-Op job next week, at Vesi Inc. Sportswear. Let me tell you, I am so EXCITED for this job! The people I'll be working with seem all-around great, and they've promised a big variety of hands-on experience - which is really the biggest thing I look for in an internship position. I've really just got a good feeling about what's waiting for me at Vesi. As one of my fave bloggers Keltie Colleen says, "Your guts are your guts and when they talk to you, you should listen." My guts told me this was the place for me, so I guess all that's left is to wait and see if they were right. ;)

There are a lot of other amazing things ahead this summer - some I've got planned, some I'm sure will be surprises (yea, I'm cheesy!). I've promised myself that I'll keep my whole three readers (haha) updated on it all with this blog. And I'm gonna do it. You WATCH! :)

Goodnight, loves.

Bee.

The Skin I'm In.

I wrote this for you.

Colin is just minutes away from arriving in CBus to visit me for the weekend. Can't wait! :D

Did you know that penguins mate for life?

So I'm eating froyo and watching "Definitely, Maybe" right now. I forgot how much I love this movie. :) Sure it's been Hollywood-ed up a good amount, but I still think the story's slightly more real life-like than most rom-coms. ;)

I love that Will saves April's copy of Jane Eyre and ends up with her in the end. Swoon. :D

Love's a funny thing isn't it? haha I try not to straight up compare life with movies, but I've always believed in it. :) I've kind of been reminded recently of all the great, complicated things that little word means.I try to soak up people who bring out the best in me, and I'm a hopeless hopeless romantic. But, if I remember correctly, a really awesome person once told me "Some of the most beautiful and inspiring minds were those of hopeless romantics. All you need is love." (:

Speaking of things people have told me, my dad gave me a much needed ego boost (lol) the other day when we were talking about some parts of the future that make me nervous. He said he has no reason to believe that, in five or ten years from now, I won't be somebody doing something great, He reminded me that I had all the tools to do absolutely anything I wanted, as long as I could always see what he saw.

Fuck, I think he just might be right. ;)

Love, Bee.

She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way.

Good evening. :)

This time tomorrow I will have completed my first day of being an Assistant Tech Designer in the women's denim department at A&F. I'm putting off going to bed because I doubt I'll be able to sleep anyway - I keep alternating between feeling really excited and nauseous haha. But I'll be good ;) Today was also my first day of living alone , so now I feel like an official big girl. It's definitely a weird thing to get used to, but hey, I was bored enough to work out for the first time in eons so it can't be all bad! (:

My goal is to post an update on first day of work happenings, but there's also the possibility that I will just come home and crash! Haha I'm really starting to wish I had tried to get up earlier than twelve this past week to condition myself!

I have a lot of other things to say, but I'm thinking I should sleep on some of these other thoughts. Let's just say I feel weird about a lot of things, but I think I should try and sort them out before dumping my feelings on the internet world. :P This winter break sure has been a doozie (correct spelling? lol) - I fully believe in the phrase "When it rains, it pours." Good news is, this week is a fresh start if there every was one. :)

Goodnight world. If you're reading this from Bearcat country, give Cincinasty my love. haha

Bee.

You need to LIVE the question.

So, quick update :)

Both today and yesterday were crazy busy days (my whole body kind of aches right now, haha), but I am now glad to say that I am officially moved in to my new crib in Columbus!

I thought that moving in might be scary or a bit sad, since it makes all these changes I've been a little nervous about so final. But I felt excited more than anything. I love it. Really, really love it. I've got a good feeling about all this :)

Oh, and also - I expect visitors. :P

The only other thing I have to report is that my partners in crime are finally back in town for the first time since break began. Let the wild rumpus start!

<3 Bee.

Take only what you need from it

Wow. The blogosphere! As seems to be the story of my blogging life, I love to get really stoked on a writing impulse, blog for two (maybe three) days in a row, and then disappear for 6+ months. :)

But hey, all that matters is I'm back, right? And I'm pretty sure I only write to myself anyways, haha.

The thing is, I'm going to be living by myself for all of winter quarter while I'm on Co-Op, so I figure I'll need someone or something to talk to and ponder the daily happenings of life with. ;) Maybe this go round I'll show some signs of writing consistency?

But now on to big and better things. :) A week from tomorrow I'll be starting my second Co-Op working as an Assistant Tech Designer for Abercrombie and Fitch. And wooo let me tell you I. CAN'T. WAIT. ! I'm still kind of in shock about the whole working for a mega company in the fashion industry thing (it gets me feeling old haha) but I'm much more excited than I am nervous. I feel like I'm going to learn a lot, and I can safely say I've never been so hyped about going to work before! The only thing I'm a little apprehensive about is being alooone alone for the first time and missing out on the shenanigans of UC and Cliftizzle, but the more I think about it the more secure I get about knowing I need it and that I will enjoy it.

Hmm . . in other news . . in other news . . oh! Christmas was yesterday? Every year it comes and goes faster than the last. :/ But it was good this year. Really, really good. Even though it has to be in the winter (blugh), there's really nothing quite like that Holiday. (:

Well, I really should get to bed. Tomorrow bright and early marks the beginning of a two-day moving extravaganza from Cincinnati to Columbus haha. But I've got time for one more ADD comment before I turn in:

I really REALLy, like pregancy craving-style REALLY, want to go see any band I love play in a sweaty, smelly venue that's too small for the crowd coming to see them. Like, I even (just a little bit) miss accidentally inhaling the smoke from scenies standing outside and giving in to buying a crazily over-priced piece of merch. haha. If you know me well, you know there's little I love more than going to concerts (preferably at borderline shady venues lol) and this is why it's super weird that I haven't done it in close to YEARS. Buuut I'm going to make it happen. Soon. The end :D

xoxo Bee. (Gossip Girl? lawl)

When someone said count your blessings now, 'fore they're long gone.

I guess I just didn't know how.

Hello babefaces. :)

I'm so very bad at updating this. I thought this summer would give ample opportunity for blog posting, but it turns out working 60 hours a week leaves you too lazy to do much else. :/

But anyway, I love both places I work. I'm learning a lot, meeting cool people, and getting more productivity out of my days than I think I ever have before. I should probably get more sleep though to avoid being such a zombie by the time I get home. :P

On the topic of the Cincy Chic job - the first article written by yours truly will be published this Monday!! I am also in the homepage photo and featured in the staff Splurge/Indulge feature story. :) Shameless self-promotion, I know, but it's exciting stuff!

In other exciting news- going to the aquarium today, parents visiting tomorrow, and roadtripping to Texas in about a week and a half. :) It's about time this summer had a little spice in it!

I've been missing the way a lot of things used to be lately, but I guess embracing change makes it a whole lot easier to accept. Besides, I don't think I've ever been one to not believe the world is at my fingertips.

xo. Bee.

Happiness :)
