One of the things that I actually have been keeping up with is Pretty Little Liars (plug: Mondays @ 8 on ABC Family). Something in that girl drama is interesting to watch (different than being a part of it) but also the characters are pretty (male and female). That aside, my group of friends all watch and we’ve pretty much assigned ourselves characters if those were our lives. I would like to think of myself as the Spencer Hastings of the group. She’s the brainy one that can tell you how many steps it is to a particular tree in the woods. Yeah, that’s me.

Her desktop background [ wallpaper ]is of the arch on the Eiffel Tower. A very pretty shot; I easily recognized it because I have a more complete picture of it in my room. But in searching the internet for what she has as her background, I ended up watching the bit of the episode where it’s visible to see how hers is oriented exactly. No luck finding it with Google Images, but there’s a small handful of people looking for it. There’s a close picture, but something just didn’t sit right…

It hits me. Why don’t I just use my own picture. The one that I happened to shoot. Sure it’s a slightly different angle of view and potentially different leg of the tower, but I would like to say I’m proud of the results. [The angle her image is at shows less detailing and structure pieces.] But I say a job well done, and I actually had to flip the image to match hers, but in utilization for my own desktop (and to not be exactly like hers), I kept it at the original orientation.

I expanded the selection outwards just a bit, but I’m not sure where I want to put my Object Dock. I’ve had it like this for so long that I know where to move my mouse and hover for a particular app, but it’s not as aesthetically pleasing where it is with the picture. Whatever.

On this happy note, I got a call today about a job interview at Doylestown Hospital next week! Hopefully that goes well Smile I’m going to Royal’s later for dinner with Lenny before our meeting, but I should probably get cracking down on the books (Renal Physiology). Ta ta!

NOTE: As of today, I have officially begun my 365 project. Click the tab to see, but otherwise, there’s not much right now. But one picture every day for a year. Maybe I’ll throw in theme weeks or something. Month of food. Sounds good.

Paths in Life

Posted on by jeanneji

Tonight has been definitely interesting.  Well first off, I picked up a job with my mom, working 10 hours a day. Not a big deal; it’s tiring, but it pays.  Tonight is the Pretty Little Liars new episode.  Amanda missed it so she and I were gonna chat and watch it together 🙂

I decided to watch it at Jenn’s, and every time I drive there, I’m always thinking- I wonder if I’ll see James. He lives there ish too. I log on, watch the show. First IM goes to Amanda pre-sir. BAM. IM from James. 1 Minute later (literal minute), Dave IMs me. [ 20 minutes later is Dwy, but thats not huge ].  Wow. Of all the things, all the nights.  I got the usual from James, but it was a little more honest in the sense that he really just wanted a quickie.

I haven’t talked to Dave in nearly a month.  Since the incident, I tried to detach myself from him and not get so bummed out.  I know that I was way into it before, but I didn’t want it to keep hurting.  But every time I think I’m doing ok, just before the 2 week mark, he sends me some message/picture out of nowhere.  Nothing is really said. Then the same thing happens again.  That again was last night.  Today though, I kept trying to chat during work and he’s busy too, so it was a few texts over the entire day (up until he signed on).

We chatted. It was crazy though. Like, brief, but it was still something.  I went to the diner with the kids after the show and I was texting him.  He’s still a sweetheart.  Example: there was a coffee spill incident. I asked him if he fixes burns. His reply? With Kisses. C’mon.  I pulled a Family Guy line and said, “I should be there, not here” and he said, “Agreed.”  Dude. I would have.

I know he’s still on OKC. I have to deal. But I also want to think he’s too busy to be starting anything.  I told him that getting the pics out of nowhere feels like I’m not the intended recipient.  He said it was intentional.  Maybe there’s still something there.  I had this shpiel thought out, but I couldn’t even bring it up tonight.  We did establish that I’ve seen him more when he’s 6 hours away vs. when he’s about 25 miles. That’s not logical, but maybe we’re just busy people now.  When I was at work, I asked him if I’d ever get to see him, and I think I fell again when he said, “I’m trying.”

I believe.

I don’t know where I’m going. Maybe I should take my own words: Be true to yourself and things will fall into place.  I only know so much, and I think I need to take that chance, because hurt is inevitable, might as well make it worthwhile.
