Moved In

Allie is now caught in our net, and she will be living here in Kodiak "ForrreeeeVER (echo)" Time to get everyone else up here. Mom, Dad, I expect you two to come up next. Do your part so everyone else will feel jealous, guilty, and/or depressed so much that they have to come live in Kodiak just to root out the agony we plant within the depths of their souls.

Wesley and I have moved into Allison and Steve's "July house" and we've had a pretty good time together so far. Much nicer than our apartment, but still not perfect, because the owners of this house will eventually come back, so I have to put up with the lame art on the walls and the other oddities around the place. Apparently this is where the party's been at, because one of my co-workers gave me a ride home and he was like "You're staying in the Fields' house?....Party!" And he told me about the parties that have been held here. I don't know him very well, so he wasn't really suggesting that we have a party, plus I wouldn't allow it to happen if he did. Too much stuff to break or tear up in here.

In addition to the euphoria brought by Allie and Steve, I've also had a little self-esteem boost. My friend Debra invited me to hang out with her and her friend Josh one day. It was Josh's last day on the island and she wanted me around so she wouldn't break down and cry. Anyway, Josh is a gay guy, and despite telling him I'm straight, he got my number and we've been texting every now and then. Debra told me that Josh texted her and said that I had a cute ass and would totally be fighting with her over me if he had stayed. He later confessed that he thought I had deep beautiful eyes and that I was sexy. I figure if a gay guy thinks I'm sexy, I must be doing something right. And then Debra told me that all of her other friends that have met me have been saying they think I look cute. This was a little shocking to me, because I don't consider myself all that cute.

I haven't had any girls swoon over me, I haven't had any stalkers, and not too many compliments on how good I look from other people overall. There are some days I look in the mirror and think "You ARE quite dashing aren't you?" *winks to myself with a mischievous smile* and then there are other days where I think I don't look that great. My nose too big, my lips too big, my eyebrows too big, my ears too big, and my hair too plain. The list goes on. So it was nice to hear that so many people think I look good.

I'm still doing alright at work. Night stocking is pretty easy. Every now and then I'll see someone I recognize from Cost Savers or from the Borough meetings I helped Wesley record. Some nights are kind of boring and other nights I'm just too tired to work fast. I've been pretty sleep deprived some nights, and I'm actually sick right now because of it. Less sleep means less resistance to viruses, and I think I caught something from Debra because she spends a lot of time with little kids. And don't think about ways I could have gotten sick from her. I'm being teased enough by Allison. I don't understand why the family has to do that whenever I have a girl over. And Allie and Steve call her my girlfriend too, but mostly because its easier to say I guess. Saying she's my lady friend is more appropriate, but it sounds lame, so I'll try to put up with them saying "girlfriend." Anyway...work is going alright.

My saving up money has paid off. I have over two thousand dollars saved up in my account at the moment. I've made a deal with Allison to pay for half of the rent for Allison's house this month. We also made a deal that Wesley and I would be paying about $400 a month and so the $1200 I'll be paying now will be kept as a sort of credit for my other months in the August house. If I didn't explain it very well, you can call or text Allison and be like "Wait...how does that work again?" I think one day after I've stashed away so much money I'll just go crazy with it. Get a nice car, nice laptop, an ipod, a huge tv, a mini fridge, whatever I want. lol There are days I enjoy working, but on the days I don't, I remember how good it feels to have so much money.

So yeah, as usual, feel free to comment on any and all of the topics I've mentioned on this blog. I'm thinking my next blog might have some poetry or have some youtube links to express some images I have in my head. I'll try to do something different anyway.

I am jealous and sad that you guys are all up there, and I am down here, but maybe I can come visit sometime... I think it is awesome that you are saving money and paying rent too! Good job, Bud! I also think it is great that other people find you cute, but really it matters most what you think, so I hope you start thinking it too instead of waiting for other people to say it. Miss you tons! Love, Chelsee

I like reading your blog. It may take a while before your dad and I come to Kodiak, but we are at least considering it after we get all your dad's current health problems handled. I like the idea of you and Wesley living with Allison and Steve and paying them rent, so that you are not mooching off of them. I like thinking about you guys going places and doing things together and also about Allison cooking you all some of the fantastic meals she has made for me/us.

There are some things that people can change about themselves and some things they can't. Your hair and your eyebrows are easily changeable, but your nose, ears and lips would require plastic surgery, so it might be better instead to say "grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

Your mom loves you just the way you are, because she is your mom.

Geoff, I think you're pretty great and it's fun to see the ways you are growing and changing. I'm glad you have some friends and that you also have Allie, Steve and Wes to support you in your adventure of being a grown-up. :) Earning and saving money IS pretty great, isn't it? Haha! Love ya!
