This Blog Isn't Dead, But...

Hey guys.

I'm sorry I haven't been here.
I could lie and say I've been super busy with my crazy cool changing life, but, as previously stated, that would be a lie.

Usually when I take a long writing break from the blog it's because my life has turned into an abyss of cluster-fuckery that I can't even begin to handle in real life, let alone write about. This is also not the case.

The honest-to-goodness truth is that right now I am the happiest I've been in a very long time. Naturally, this lends the question, "Why are you so happy?" and of course I'm going to list them for you. AHEM.

Try to deny this.

1) George the cat. Although he is the biggest shithead on the face of the planet, he's creepy sometimes (I'm just going to drag my cat carrier out of your room into the dark hallway and then stare at you from behind the cat carrier. UM. Creep), his shit stinks up the whole apartment, and he has broken many things I cherish, he is always there to greet me when I come home. I sound like a crazy cat lady and I don't care. He's there every morning to wake me up and is (usually) ready to go to bed when I am. Sometimes you just need another creature to depend on you and love you unconditionally.

2) I have a job that I like. I've had it for a bit now, and I've been working my ass off to be great at it. It's just a serving job but it's the nicest one I've ever had. For the first time since living in Chicago, I am fairly confident I will only need one job to survive in this city. I'm staying one more year, guys. Then I PROMISE I'm leaving Illinois.

3) This boyfriend. I won't gush because that's annoying but holy shit I think this is what Katy Perry writes songs about. I might be single after he reads this though (JKJKJK).

4) I made a tumblr dedicated strictly to my creative writing. This, by far, was the best thing to come out of my dating strike. I had this awesome realization that I want my passion to be my career. I want to write, folks! I don't care if it means I'm a server for the next 20 years (but I'm opening my bar in 14 soooo that won't happen anyway) as long as I have the time to live and gather stories and be young for as long as my spirit will let me. 

I just wanted to post on here and inform everyone who reads a lot that I probably won't be posting on here as frequently as I was. I really want to throw myself into creative writing. The chances of me ever putting this link up on facebook is pretty slim, but I want to provide it to anyone that actually reads and enjoys my writing. 

Thanks for reading my blog, friends. I promise I will still update here! For those of you that want new things from me, visit thepoortrend.tumblr.com xoxo
