As I approach further education, I am reminded of my English classes. My dude has a degree in English. He is at a tortured IT job. Blah.
I do not, nor do I wish for one. I'd rather concentrate on other languages, specifically, Spanish and French. I would like to achieve true fluency in both languages.
I believe I would be a translator, provided I can translate in real time. I am close. I have been a student of other languages for a long time. I can translate in my native language in real time. Because of this, I am not broke.
I am, indeed, a language nerd. I would tell my dude I love him, as I do, but I do not want him to freak out on me. I believe he would use *that* L-word if he could. I do love and respect him. He is a wonderful man who takes me on hikes, adventures, and will even take me to Arby's (my one fast food). We go to the awesome Portland food carts together. Ironically, I am the scrawniest I have been since secondary school. I don't know what hit me; at age 31, I don't have any of the things such as eye-lines or face lines. I love him, dearly, and I might just tell him that this evening. In honesty, I loved his writing before I was able to conceptualize love.
I do not love everything about him. I wish he would get on a plane - he is totally phobic of airplanes. My family and I love aviation; I'm not allowed to tell anyone about the small plane that crashed. Oh, wait, I did! Both the pilot and the passenger not only lived, but didn't get even a bruise! My aunt made a deathbed promise to her second husband that she would learn to fly. Now, she is on her third. Yikes. I'm not willing to talk about her third husband, as I have nothing nice to say in that regard.
I believe I will pursue a career in translation. I know I can do it, not without effort. I will go back to university to so do. Everyone in my life keeps about my life in law. Others can have those jobs; I spent my time working for attorneys, and I come, increasingly, to the conclusion that I am not meant for the legal field. I would rather achieve fluency in languages. One of my teachers (American; native English speaker) speaks 6 OTHER FLIPPING LANGUAGES. He's happily married to a woman who is his equal. I'm glad he's back after the Japanese tsunami. The radiation is still so bad... I have my Neko-lucky cat on my front door; the real Neko is with my father in California. Neko has adopted his little brothers, Sasha and Albert, quite effectively. All three of the boys sleep in the bed with their granddaddy, and all get along.
My father, the hero, is going to see my psychiatrist for his own well-being. I support this.
I am a bit jaded at present; it's just not getting any easier. I didn't sign up for anything like this. I look at others who have 'dreamy' lives with a significant amount of jealousy. I do not have green eyes, but I may as well. I am not underprivileged (though I am definitely not wealthy!). I can feed, clothe, and house myself. It will all be fine someday. My eyes remain true blue.
Some flipping day. I really wish to be at home in Cali. It's not happening today. My boyfriend and my family in Oregon would crap bricks - yet as long as I have myself, I have everything. I know I can get in the car at any time. I have chosen not to for now.
HEY BLOGS MODS and OUR ADMIN

- where is this epic meetup going to occur? I think Vancouver, BC, would be properly badass, and so I present the idea. It's Bluelight. I'll bring myself and either a train or my car. My passport is in transit. Meetup? Yeah, let's make this happen. HEY DAVE - I might have to fly through Edmonton soon.
I am content with this little life of mine. I have my moments, as has everyone. Blogs are a place to vent within guidelines. I will continue to do my best, and I hope someone finds my thoughts interesting.
