Thinking at work....

I had a thought the other day and it was a pretty good one too, but before I could write it all down it got away from me to hide in the dark recesses of my mind. It sucks, really.... that thought had quite a lot of potential for greatness. And it's sad because I can imagine everyone in this world is equivalent to being a thought...destined for greatness...but sometimes we get lost along the way.

I know, right? I wrote the above while I was at work and put it away in my planner. Later, I read it and thought...that's pretty deep and I liked it.

So my life is slowly spinning into the lovely chaos that I love and call home. I'm in the position now to have three separate jobs: dance teacher, office assistant, and doggie daycare team member. All are pretty much part time (the dance teaching is two hours a week) but I think I like it this way. I'm spread out into three different possible directions so I should never be bored about life. That, and it will help me to choose the best path for myself. I still apply to different things but until I find out what is going on with my city job as an office assistant, I think I'll keep it silent for awhile. It's nice to look for something, for sure, but I don't know...I'm kind of packed with my schedule.

Not to mention!! I have rehearsals for my upcoming show. I have written a short play that will be in the NDNU fall festival!! YAY! I'm directing it as well. It's about this guy. He walks into a bar and starts talking to this women only to realize that she is Death and waiting for him.

Interesting, right?

Yea...kinda depressing too, but I like it and I hope other people will take to it. It's basically saying to live life to the fullest because you never know what is going to happen.

I'm at the coffee shop right now. Yea, I know, it's simply my internet cafe. LOVELY. It reminds me of when I went to Ireland and constantly hit up internet cafes for email time.

1 pound - 30 minutes.

Plus a lovely cup of espresso.

IRISH espresso.

I can't wait to go back and I know I will. For now, though, I have to save up money for my next adventure: San Diego to visit Melanie at law school. Not for awhile though.

ANYWAY......I've got to go. I've got to find my monologues for my next audition.

Yea...I have one. WOOOOOHOOOO!

hehehehehe

What's in a name?

Sooooo I'm back at home for the weekend (Love you Modesto!!! Rock on! Peace! Love!....oh, crap, I'm not at a concert yet) which means I get to do both all my laundry and search the internet at my leisure. I've been on for awhile now and I've tweeted at least three times, checked out the sneak peeks for New Moon (go werewolves!!! -- which I must explain why I support the werewolf in a later blog but for now I will just say wouldn't it be fabulous to run through the forest at night?), checked out my concert schedule (woohoo! Jason Mraz!) and now I'm blogging again and claiming that I will do so for a much longer time.

NOW I've decided that I wanted to find out the meaning of my name, which, is pretty interestingly freaking dead-on. Here was the analysis they sent me:

• Your first name of Caitlin has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature.
  
• While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own changing interests or changing circumstances.
• Though the name Caitlin creates the urge to be creative and original, we call attention to the challenge of controlling temper as a result of a highly intense, dissatisfied, and restless quality.

For all of you who know me...you know this IS me.

Damn.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy my weekend by going to a few movies including (500) Days of Summer, with my girl-crush Zooey, and then Harry Potter of course, which I sadly haven't seen yet. It's something that I would prefer doing with my dad since we both read all the books. It's much more fun that way.

Which reminds me...what is everyone reading now? I'm reading The Kite Runner and can hardly put it down for fear that I will lose the story within.

Cheers!

Apartment Search Continues...

It's rather amazing how many apartments one can go through before they feel like they're done with the entire process. My count: one.

Honestly, it's quite a hastle and I must continue because there is a chance that they will charge my room mates and I an extra $2,000 deposit JUST because we don't make enough money. Funny how that works, huh?

My mom said it sort of makes sense, saying that the people are just covering their ass, BUT I still feel like shouting: NOT FAIR.

Alas, I shall continue. There are a couple of other places I have yet to try AND I've learned about all the new questions that I need to ask. Take one lesson learned, right??? It works.

Real life sucks. I remember people telling me that back when I was going to college but I didn't believe them. Or, I think I believed them on some level of understanding but refused to accept such a fate. HOWEVER, I cannot escape it and now I sit here in a coffee shop typing my blog because my place doesn't have internet or cable. I could probably hook it up, true, but I'm not sure yet. I've gotten quite a bit of reading done and maybe I could do some writing still. BUT that's the other thing I've learned: people inspire me. When I was around my room mates I was constantly writing. Now, I've got nothing.

Grrrrrrrr.

Perhaps that will soon change, seeing as, since I don't make enough money, I could use a best seller right now, right? hahahahahahaha!

Anyway... things are going fairly well. I'm still working at the City of Belmont and I've found that it can be quite enjoying. I just wish I could get a full time job there. Not necessarily for the money, although that would help, but because I want to feel like I belong somewhere. Right now, I'm still considered temporary and, well, that doesn't make me feel very secure. I just want to know how things will turn out, what my options are.

Again, grrrrrrrrr.

SO the picture above is Jack! He's such a good boy! Perhaps the only thing that feels like it's going somewhere because training has such an organization to it!
