I voted yesterday since we have early voting down here. I had to stand in like for like an hour but I had the day off of work because of some extra comp time. It was worth it. If the lines were that long yesterday I wonder how they will be on tuesday....

I would write more now but I have been so emotional lately and I might cry and I don't want to.

 Started an office blog lol. Here is the link.

 Ok so this lady at work (Dixie) told me today that I should blog. I told her that I sort-of have one that I have just neglected for a long time, so I thought about it and I decided that I should start this thing back up again. Man oh man, so much happened! 
I have lived in Florida for a year. I absolutely love it but I miss all of my friends up north. It's weird. I feel rather socially inept but I don't know how to make friends anymore. I mean I talk to the people I work with and they invite me over to hang out with their families but I need to make friends with people my own age. How do you do that when you aren't in school and everyone you work with is married, has kids, and is at least 15 years older than you? Oh well, its fine. One day I'll meet a friend my own age and it will be good. 
I have been super busy with work. I have actually been working 2 jobs for a little while. I went back to tutoring math but in 2 weeks I will be giving that up. Mainly because I will be traveling so much for work that it is not fair to my second employer to schedule me. Also, I never really did it for the money. It was more for something to do in the evenings. I have met some interesting kids down here though. I was telling Lori last night that my apartment is going to miss me. From August 12-September 14 I will probably be in it for like 10-12 days tops. Its crazy. I'm traveling down to Orlando at least once a month for a week then I will also be going to Pensacola. I'm excited. Lori wanted me to go up and see her for her fall break but I will be in Ft Lauderdale and Miami that week. I'm excited to go around the state and see everything. Its weird though because it won't really be a vacation and I won't get to see alot but at least I get travel some; plus while I'm down south I can get real cuban coffee. YUM! 
Ok this is enough for my first real entry in forever. I really will try to keep this thing up more for myself than for anyone else.

 I know I haven't posted in here in a while. Everything was going great. Really, really great, but then in the past two week life in general life just started sucking, like seriously sucking hard core. I am so over people right now. I almost want to come home for just a week and be around people that actually love me. I feel like people I have met here have been so fake. They only want me for one thing or another. I feel so used by people. I am over it. I can't handle it anymore. To top things off, I am turning 25 next week, I don't want to be 25, but at the same time 24 is pretty much crap right now. 25 can't be much worse. I'm over it. That's all.

One word for the summer: HOT! It was like 104 or 105 when I drove by a bank on my way to the gym today after work. It has hovered around 100 since the beginning of July or end of June. I can't wait til October when it apparently cools off around here. There are some great parks to go jogging in but its just too hot. In October I will try them out though. I wanna go to the beach this weekend but it may rain (probably cause of the hurricanes but who knows). Going to see Lori in like 10 days or something (Labor Day weekend). That will be CRAZY! I have had like one beer all summer so when i go and see her I will not be ready for the partying lol. Its ok though it will be so much fun. Heard on CNN tonight while I was eating dinner that good old Baltimore has reached 200 murders already this year. That is ridiculous! (by the way I am old and watch CNN). Thats about it.

Going to St. Pete tomorrow to see my O's beat the Devil Rays. Also gonna probably hit up Clearwater Beach before the game as 7. I am super psyched about this. Thats all.

Florida is awesome! I went to Panama City last Saturday. It was soooooo pretty. The sand is really white and water is so clean and warm! I will definitely go back. I posted pictures up already. Next Saturday I think I'm going hiking up at Torreya State Park...called "Florida's Mountains."  Work is going well. I am learning so much. The people are so nice. Today they decided they were going to help me find ways to make friends, because obviously I am socially inept to do it on my own. They had some really good ideas actually.  That is the only real problem down here: its rather hard to make new friends when you work all day everyday with people much older and married, but it will be ok. Anyway, thats about it for now.  Oh yeah Harry Potter 5 movie comes out Wednesday. I would go to the 12:01 show but I gotta work at 7:30 the next morning so I'm going after work. I can't wait for the 7th book. Right now, I am re-reading 1-6 to be prepared lol. I'm such a nerd!
