POST #100!

This is what Aruba looks like: Perfect!

I cannot believe it took me almost 6 months to realize that this post would be my 100, but here I am.

I came back because my blog was designed for summer and since it is summer again, I introduce to you Summer of Hawk: Part 4! I have an ulterior motive for this summer and that's.. To have an adventure. I know, I know, you hear that every summer, but I mean it.

The end of the summer will be likely be pretty turbulent (in a good way) because I'll be nearing the end of my apprenticeship and probably be moving out. So I guess this summer will be a lot of living it up and living it down all at the same instance.

To be honest, what I really need for this summer is:

But I'll settle for this:

Or something like that....

Let's do an update on my NYE resolutions:

No Meat: SUCESS! I have only eaten meat twice since January 1.

No Treating Men Like Crap: Uh... Well, here's the thing... I don't mean to. I just.... Eugh.

Not Giving Up On My Novel: Not given up... But definitely some sort of break.

Getting Back on Stage: Involves longer hair and head shots. Stay tuned.

I have a few ideas about how I want this summer to go...

I want to get out a lot! And I definitely want a lot of Margaritas again, but I'll be watching my wallet this summer so I guess they will all be $4 ones.

Easier-said-than-done part: I want an uncomplicated/nonexistant love life. I don't want to go to bars to pick up men. I don't want to get drunk and be disappointed if nothing crazy happened. So I'm 86ing my lovelife. The only issue with this is that it'll probably fall with the related resolution but I'll do my best to avoid drama. I'm going to enjoy my Single Summer because who knows what next year will bring.

...Right?

Anyway, as usual I want to document most of the adventures here. But, as usual, I'll probably, if you're lucky post twice.

Good thing when I say "you" I mean all one person who would read this.

Me, in two hours.

The Obvious Turnover

Isn't it funny how every year ends and starts the same? Everyone frowns upon the passing year and revs up for the coming year. Every passing year left something to be desired........ new apartment, love life, a better career path, better grades, a more active social life... Something.

2010 for me was, in my eyes, part 2 of a 3 part year turnover. In 2009 I graduated college, picked out my career, started my new career path. In 2010 I worked on that career path, got a job at a company I can envision myself in for years, and burned every bridge with my past in efforts to look forward.

2011 opens as a promising year. I need to work on and build my career that will set me up for the majority of my life. It's the year that I don't plan on changing much, just building on what I already have. For 2010 I hoped for a "love life" (that lacked in 2009). I received it, but in a way that lead to a blog : notthe1.tumblr.com ... So we'll see how 2011 plays along.

My resolutions are: no meat, no treating men like crap, not giving up on my novel, and getting back on stage.

I need more music, any ideas?

For 2011, I look to the future.

Not the One

Here is my new blog about how I talk about my non-existent sex life. And all the jerks in between.

My New Musical

I am also in the process of writing another blog! Stay tuned!

Hello, redhead.

Three musicians I like: Kate Nash, Ingrid Michaelson and Lady Gaga. (One of these things is not like the other...) According to my last.fm profile, I fancy Ingrid a bit more. According to my Lady Gaga costume collection......

It depends on who you ask....

So I figured out what to be for Halloween and what to do for my birthday, in case you guys were incredibly concerned. My birthday will be a little shit show in the back of Fiddlesticks. For Halloween I'll be Ramona Flowers. You go, "Who?"

I Go, "Yea...."

I understand this blog is a series of fragments of random thoughts, but.. Isn't that what blogs are for? Actually, whenever I start writing in here I am ready to be a Serious Blogger. But I can ever stay interested in writing a blog long enough. Anyway...

I'm a redhead now!!

You remember we were sittin' there by the water..

What a silly summer.

July and August flew by so fast I didn't have a chance to update. I spent most of that time in the salon, and had many adventures outside/after. Comedy &/or douchy dance clubs, trendy little restaurants, rehearsals, getting cussed out by interns, planning surprise parties, READING.....

Whooops. What started as a moment of weakness, ended one week and 2,444 pages later therefore demonstrating itself as an obsessive lapse. But to be fair, I loved every moment of it (sorta) and started reading again because of it.

Currently reading:

Which I love so far, so that is good.

I threw Lauren a surprise party, which was epic. And now I make plans for the next two big events of 2010: my birthday & halloween. Where do I have my party? What do I wear for Halloween?

I need answers.

Living the Dream.

A year ago I figured out what to do with my life...

And now I'm actually doing it? Working at an awesome top salon and doing theater by the PM? Thug life. This summer I plan on just living it up... My reality check at the beginning of 2010 has me really appreciating all this that I have.

And right now I'm going to sit and sip my raspberry green tea/apple juice combo before call and contemplate.

I see Lady Gaga in a week [score] and will be getting the new ipod later in the month [double score].

All I'm saying to you, July. Is... Don't let me down. <3
