Hey....So, I know I haven't been writing real posts in a while. So, I thought I'd pop back in to update everyone on how things are going. First, 31 Days of Halloween is a bust. I tried, but I've just got too much going on to keep up with a creative post every day. So, um...I apologize in advance to anyone who was looking forward to that. It's over for the year.
I've not been posting much because life has not been that exciting. I mean, I'm enjoying it, but it's not really something you post on your blog about, you know what I mean? But, I do have a few big things to announce. In August, I got my MLIS, so I am officially a librarian (in educational status only). In job title, I'm still doing the same thing I was doing before. BUT...there have been some postings in my area, so I'm applying for jobs and will keep y'all posted if something comes up. Right now, though, I've not heard anything.
In other news, there is a guy I'm somewhat interested in. He comes to a lot of my library programming, so I see him at least once a month. Sometimes more. And he's super sweet, my parents have met him and they like him (although I don't know if he knows those are my parents....). Yeah, so I finally sent him a friend request on Facebook. And we've talked a bit. But, mostly, I'm the one initiating everything. So, I can't really say that he's interested in me. But, he's cute, sweet, a hard-worker, and he's Catholic. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Let's just hope that he also loves anime and we'll be good to go.
But, in all seriousness, I'm not really sure that he's interested. Conversations fizzle out pretty fast, and he never starts them. Doesn't sound too interested to me. But, that's okay. I'm not head-over-heels myself, either.
Since I'm now out of school (and still single) I've been picking up new hobbies. One of which is Asian cooking (mostly Japanese). I can make onigiri (rice balls) easily enough, and have started rolling my own sushi using canned tuna. But, my latest trip to the Asian market brought back a box of sweet rice flour and some Adzuki beans. That's right--I'm making sweet red bean mochi!
Finally, I just want to have a little rant against one of my Facebook friends. This is a girl I went to school with, but we don't really talk anymore. I probably should just unfriend her, but for some reason, I've stayed in touch. Anyways, long story short, her boyfriend broke up with her. It happens. It's hard. I get it. But, all of her posts lately have been about how terrible he is (because he broke up with her) and how hard her life is now (because he broke up with her), and how strong she clearly is (because she's taking this breakup so much in stride), and how she is SUCH a good person (because she would do ANYTHING for people, but they won't do anything for her).
Okay, so I'm going to break this down piece by piece here....
1.) Your boyfriend dumped you. This happens to people all the time. It's sad. It's frustrating, and I'm sure you wish you were still with him. But, how does that make him a bad person? I know I wouldn't want to be with someone who didn't want to be with me. Don't make him the bad guy for wanting something different in life. It's not as though he cheated on you.
2.) You were dumped, but that's not the end of the world. Your life does not suck. You don't need to post about how you are so lonely and always drinking wine. That doesn't sound healthy. Go out with your friends. Get a hobby. Do SOMETHING instead of moping around like this, and looking for crumbs of affection from your Facebook fan-base.
3.) You're not being strong if you have to keep posting about how strong you are. Strong people don't talk about how strong they are (at least not without prompting). They just live their lives and show you they can handle themselves.
4.) She is NOT the kind of person who would do anything for people. We used to be friends, and while she expected the world of me, she let me down time and time again, to the point where we stopped talking. That's why I'm wondering why I'm still Facebook friends with her.
End rant.
I hope y'all are doing well. I'll try to post more to keep you in the loop. Goodnight, and sleep well!

I know people very similar to your Facebook friend as well. Unfortunately there are just toxic people in the world who aren't honest enough with themselves to recognize that they are the reason their relationships fail.
