Dear Diary,
Today was one of those crazy busy, but fun in it's own way kind of days. I woke up at 8:15 and went to the school to drop off the raffle stuff for Ad Club. I'm a little worried we won't raise much money. Some of the other members seem so apathetic to the club. But that's another post for another day.
My class was canceled, so I came back home to do work. I was a little sleepy so I told myself that I could take an hour nap. Of course, it turned out to be more like 5 hour sleep. But it was really nice and totally worth missing a very important meeting. When I went to sleep, my kitties were running around doing kitty things. But when I woke up, they had cuddled around me. Even the antisocial one! It was very "awww" worthy.
Got up and I ran to the school for a SGA meeting. I realized that I've been a lazy reporter and I want to change that. I was hoping to get at least one story out of the meeting. I got 3! There is so much stuff happening around SSU that is just begging to be told. I'm hoping to team up with a fellow reporter to tackle the bigger issues.
The juicy gossip: there are some hot SGA members! Nothing like a little eye candy to motivate you.
After the SGA meeting, I went into town to reserve a camera for my video production class. We film tomorrow, and since this is my first time being Director I'm both nervous and excited. I'm afraid my idea for a movie is lame, and the only reason I like it is because I wrote it. It's happened before. But I'm excited to see my concept become a reality. I'm definitely going to try and put the final product on Youtube.
Came home, did homework and wrote till 5:45 in the morning. And for some unexplainable reason, life feels good.
Love Always,
Joe

Dear Diary,
After class on Wednesday, I went into Boston with a very good friend CG. It's weird to think about my relationship with CG cause although we're friends, she's more my sister's friend than mine. But CG has been an honorary member of the family for so long that calling her just a friend seems disrespectful. Any who, we went into Boston to eat at this place she likes.
It's called b good and it was amazing. I had a veggie burger (because I went vegetarian), potato fries, and a strawberry milkshake. All for under $10. It was actually really good food though. It is highly recommended.
After eating, we did a "Day in the Life." This is when you randomly pick someone and follow them. The guy we picked was in his twenties and had a hipster-rocker vibe to him. We followed him from Back Bay (on the orange line) to The Christian Science Monitor museum. It was a good walk and I love the CSM's building. It's soo pretty.
And then on Thursday, we did the first day of filming for the my video field production class. The director was 30 minutes late. That's ridiculous! We only finished half the film (we completed it over the weekend), and the basic storyline is trite. I was extremely disappointed in the day. The showing is tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous. I just really want to learn how to do video editing.
Oh and today, I fell in the mud. But that's a good thing, cause I had fun doing it.
Love always,
Joe

Dear Diary,
Today (five minutes ago actually) I was updating my resume, and I noticed a typo. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but this is the resume that I've sent to future job opportunities. I'm just hoping that they don't notice or some other kind of crazy-luck shit.
I had an interview with one of them last Thursday, but I haven't heard anything from them since then, so I'm freaking out. And I understand that it takes time to chose an employee, and I had to wait a month for the state house to get back to me, but I'm impatient!
Also, for no reason that I can think of, I've been really sad this week. After my editing class last Friday, I realized that I'm not as smart as I think am I (something I have to keep reminding myself) and I've been in a funk since then.
I have this fear that there's something mentally wrong with me, but if there is I don't wait to fix it. I mean, I don't want to take drugs because I have a hard enough time liking who I am as it is. If a drug starts to change me, how can i ever know that the person I like is me or the drug?
I'm going to try to submit some of my poetry to some magazines/papers. I just hope they accept them. I have this nagging feeling that I'm not doing anything with my life and that not only am I letting opportunity slip by, in some way I'm pushing it away. Know what I mean?
Love Always,
Joe

Dear Diary,
I finally have my kitties!
I went home for the long weekend and when it was time to return to my apartment, I smuggled my kittens back with me. I have two cats, a boy and a girl. The boy cat's name is Global, because of his fur pattern. He looks like how someone in space would see Earth. Or at least he did when he was a kitten.
The girl cat's name is Madam Meowington the Third. She's a classy lady and a bit camera shy.
And last but not least, I dyed my hair (again!). You can't really tell from the picture, but I call this color cotton candy pink. I did it on Saturday because there was extra dye (my sister was also dying her hair) and it seemed like a waste not to use it. I was hoping it would be more on the natural red side, but I've grown to like it like this. And now seeing it makes me smile.
That's the thing I like about instant body changes, they remind you of how much you can control yourself. It took my all of three seconds to decide to dye my hair, and the overall process was an hour. Instant change, instant power.
I'm working on an update for Only, so keep an eye out for that.
Good Night and Love Always,
Joe

Dear Diary,
Today is September 3rd.
I have a job! Or more correctly, I have a job interview, but I pretty certain I'll be hired. It's for a local advertising firm, so not only will I be working in my field, I'll be getting paid! I had to write mock facebook updates for three companies the firm handles. Because of my low self worth, I'm hardly ever confident in the my writing. But the woman from the firm said that the updates were great, so I think I got the job. I just have to impress her at the job interview.
Visited with BL and AW for a bit. It would have been longer, but I had a newspaper meeting to attend. I know I wanted to do more with the paper, but I don't think I can stand to be in the same room with some of the people. I just want it to be known that I hate when people chew with their mouths open. You're not a fucking cow, don't act like it!
I fell asleep on the train ride home. I can't believe how tired I was. But I'm back in G-Vagas now. I gave my sister her birthday present and I'm pretty sure she loved it. I gave her a deck of cards that change color under a blacklight. She's an avid card collector, so they make for a nice addition to her collection. Plus my mom gave her a blacklight.
Good night and love always,
Joe

(Don't worry, I'm still going to update Only Sometimes. This is more of a day-to-day blog. I want Only to be more editorial style updates while this one will be a diary style blog. Hence the lol-tastic name Dear Diary.)
Dear Diary,
Today is August 28.
I've moved into my new apartment in Salem. It's a one bedroom, so that means I'm all by myself. At first, I really liked the idea of being alone. I'd spent pretty much the first 18 years of my life sharing a room with my brother and the idea to finally have space was exciting.
But now that I've been here for almost (almost!) a week, I kind of miss talking with people. I've always been independent but now I'm realizing that just talking with someone doesn't make you weak or insecure, it makes you human.
Anyway, I spent most of Wednesday and Friday with my friends BL and AW. We were in Boston on Wednesday. I love being in the city, only because every time I'm there, it's a different experience. For example, we saw a street performer. His show wasn't that amazing, but there's something wonderful in see street performers. There is an atmosphere found only with these kinds of acts that I love.
We window-shopped and many jokes were had. Our jokes about crappy jewelery was definitely the highlight for me. Including such jems as "it's just a rock with wire tied around it; that looks with peasant wear/it's an Anne Frank dress; it's fossilized peace; (deadpan)oh, cause I was going to buy this." Ahh the memories.
Then on Friday, AW and BL came over to see my new place. Honestly, I'm a little surprised at how comfortable I am with these two. I've only known them a year, and yet there was no awkward silences. There are awkward silences with friends that I've had since elementary school.
This was the first time I had guests (besides family, but they don't count), and I'm glad it went nicely. It's like that LeAnn Rimes song ;)
Good night and love always,
