November

This month has been full of surprises.
Full of winning, full of potential, and full of fun.

I don't think I can remember a time before this where I was this content and happy with life and where I am at the moment.
Let me say what's been going on.

A week ago today I had called into a radio station and won a prize pack of tickets of  sorts. A pair of tickets to an acoustic lounge session with Vance Joy (which was awesome) and a pair of tickets to see the new Hunger Games movie (MockingJay).
Also, new potentials in the love life are happening and it's been going great. Won't go into major detail since it's a new thing.

Anyways, today! I also called in and won more tickets, to see Bastille, and it just feels like the craziest month.
I have never felt so lucky/blessed in my life to have things be working out like this.
It actually feels entirely too surreal and maybe someone just needs to pinch me because this is insane.


Basically, I don't know what to do with myself.
Buy a lottery ticket?
Enter more contests?

I don't know. I'm pretty happy at the moment so I think I'll stay in it as long as I can.

Thank you.

My birthday '14

This year was probably the best birthday I've ever had.

Seattle for the whole weekend was a success in so many ways, I can't even believe it happened. 

Got down there Friday and just checked into the hotel we were staying at, which was awesome and great in itself. 

Saturday came and we started out the day with some hot cocoa and tea from the coffe shop downstairs, which was amazing to say the least! The hot cocoa was the best ever! (It tasted like chocolate and marshmallows.. Yum!)

We ventured down to Pike Place Market and walked through the shops, meeting a cool Russian guy at a great bookstore and getting to try some interesting fruits (persimmons, if you didn't know, taste like a vegetable). We also went to the Seattle Art Museum and walked around for a bit before we got lunch.

We then proceeded to go back to the hotel and take naps.. And then get ready for dinner!

Met up with more of our friends at the restaurant we chose. Got some drinks, food and opened a couple presents.

Then had some drunk guys come over and invade our space and be annoying.

We left and went to our next location where we got drinks and waited for one of my friends from work and his brother, where we talked and he met my friends. 

We tried to make a plan for where we were going next and then walked to our next location although the cover charge at the first club seemed ridiculous and we left to go to a different one, which was only $10 cheaper but ended up being good. We took a cab and got in and danced for a long long time!

Took a cab back to the hotel and went to sleep.

Woke up and started from the beginning.

Cocoa first, packed up stuff in the car, went to pike place to pick up last minute stuff and headed home.

The best thing about the weekend was how many of my friends actually came out. I can't remember the last time I had that many of my close friends in the same place and they were there for me.. For my birthday!

It was great getting to know a new friend a little better and to have him get to know me and see my friends. This never happens! Dancing was great and so funny! 

I absolutely loved this weekend! I will forever cherish this birthday.

23 has started out so amazing! Let's keep it up? All you can do is try :]

Travel: Journeying from place to place

In all of my life, the one thing (I've been realizing more than anything lately) that I want to do with my life, is travel.
I want to go, to get out, to live and to see.
There's so much here for me, in the Seattle area. Work, friends, family.
But I'm so tired of being here, stuck. I'm tired of being stationary and I want to be mobile.
I think I'm going to have to sign up for a trip every year, if not every other year so that I can get out of here, especially to further off places, that's what I mean.
Next year I'm taking a trip back to Europe, Germany, Italy and Switzerland that I keep getting more and more excited about, although more and more nervous as well.
I'm more nervous because I'll be going with a group of people I don't know and I tend to be a little shy at first.
I know that it will be an amazing thing for me though and everyone I've told so far is entirely jealous, but anyone can do it! I just so happened to have enough courage to sign up and not back out of it.

Anyways.
A part from that, I will travel as much as I can throughout my lifetime.
I want to go to Thailand and be a part and witness the lantern festival.
I want to go to New Zealand to see where Lord of the Rings was filmed.
I want to ride an elephant in Malaysia.
Sit and soak up the beaches in the Bahamas.
See the great ruins of Machu Picchu.
Witness the running of the bulls in Spain.

I just want to go. To see. To hear. To be somewhere else for a little bit.

Halloween 2014

This year was an interesting year for Halloween. I have been in a great spot and being at a new job with people who like to have fun, just makes things so much better.

I dressed up as a mermaid for work (a simple and not slutty one) with scaled leggings and a purple top.

It was so awesome seeing the creativity and excitement people had at work for the Halloween holiday. So much good food and lots of fun talking to people throughout the day.

Nighttime was a bit different. One of my best friends got ready, this time as simple black cats and we went to meet her sister in law (also a black cat) out at a bar for a Halloween party where we planned to dance the night away, which we did.

I forgot they were having a psychic there to do readings and talk to you, until she walked up to us and told us to come talk to her, she proceeded to tell me there was a lot of good coming to me in my future..

So when we were all finally there we went over to talk to her where she told me to start out and make three wishes but to tell her only two. The ones I told her were that I wish to travel the world and I wish to eventually get married.

From there, she told me that I would travel a lot in my lifetime, which already is amazing because I want to incredibly bad.

Then she told me that I should stay at my current job because it is very good for me and will be promising for the future, which made me happy to hear.

Last, she told me I would be meeting my soulmate in the new future, probably before the new year.. Which I don't know if I entirely believe but I guess I'll have to wait and see since it's coming soon.

She also ended by saying that I will be in good health and that I'm going on the right path in my life, which just made me feel awesome.

That in itself was probably the thing I wanted to hear most, knowing that I'm going in the right direction is amazing, I took the steps to get there and it's working out so far! 

Both of my friends then talked to her as well and we danced the night away, having a great night despite the creepy and touchy-feely guys that were also there. 

I was happy with how this Halloween turned out. Much better than previous ones.

Hope everyone else had a great holiday. 

More to come!
