Philly fall feasting festivities

Hello fair journal!

Tis been a long time. I'm here, writing in my cozy pjs and "smart wool" socks in my blue-painted room. It's 1 am and I'm quite tired, but I wanted to update my journal quickly before heading to bed. Life in Philly is going well, but I have been on the job search for about 2 months now with no fruitfulness. Oh there have been interviews here and there, but nothing has fully come through. We shall see! Other than that, I'm training for a half-marathon (woo!) that won't take place till May... but I'm beginning training now. (initially to just get in shape for a frisbee tournament this weekend, but figured that being in shape in the long run would be great.) I am taking guitar lessons FINALLY after wanting to do so since my 15th birthday. I'm finally taking up my parents on this glorious present. My teacher's guitar is sitting on my lovely queen-size bed (my first bed bigger than a twin, EVER), and I have been playing constantly.. all 5 chords that I know. ha. (and trying to learn simplified versions of songs so I can practice, and really advance my skills... but also cause it's fun to play songs.) I'm also writing my autobiography... or just merely writing down lots of stuff about my identity. It's really therapeutic. We'll see if it's ever publishable. In other news, I had a lovely dinner with my dad tonight. He took me to a great steakhouse downtown, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner with wonderful conversation. He's such an honest, straightforward, caring person and I love spending time with him. I love that we can get together and hang out for a few hours and it's totally comfortable, and we can talk about anything. He's really great. Ah! Thanks, Dad, for an awesome night. I was feeling under the weather, but going out for dinner and seeing my dad made my cold feel almost nonexistent. :) Yay!

So, on that note... off to bed for a lovely night, and then waking up and jogging, and dealing with more job stuff, before doing.... whatever I want to! We shall see where the day takes me. (however if it involves spending money, i'm out... trying to do free and fun things in my unemployed state. ha! )

ok nighty night!
