somebody that i used to know // gotye (bibio remix)
I was just alerted that based on the sounds of my blog, I must need worrying about. I’m here to quickly put those thoughts to rest because I absolutely do not need anyone to worry about how I’m doing out here.
Yes, things aren’t going as planned but if you know me at all - you know that something like unplanned circumstances will not keep me down. Actually, I’ve had the most fun week yet in Seattle and am making amazing friends.
Concerts, snow days, happy hours, more concerts, food and wine, coffee, hikes, movies - these are the things filling my days, alongside people that I’m getting to know more and more every single day. How in the world could I complain about that?
To be clear, the thing that was getting me down a bit is that I’m moving out of my apartment. For reasons that don’t need broadcasting on this blog, there has been an immediate need for a change in my living situation and lucky me found an amazing new place to move into next week. I will most definitely be posting pics of it soon so you can all be jealous of my new digs.
So again, everyone, I’M SO HAPPY - please don’t worry about little ol’ me.

Things I would really appreciate receiving on the day I turn 24:
This rad mpls sign for my new bedroom wall.
The entirety of the UO wishlist I have already emailed to certain family members. If you’d like a copy, I can make that happen.
Drinks here, apps here, entrees here and dessert here.
A visit from someone I think is really cool. Oh wait…I’m already getting that. Big smile.
More delicious Jenn Bostic coffee.
A plane ticket to Denver for my bff-reunion-weekend. (Specifically Frontier flight F9 0844 departing SEA at 8:50am on March 23 and F9 0843 departing DEN at 6:10pm on March 26.)
This purse so I have room to carry around my new camera everywhere I go and take sweet pics to show you guys. See…everyone benefits.
And yes, just so you know, I do feel guilty for writing this “me-me-me” post but things are desperate around here and a birthday pick me is needed. At least I’m admitting it. If you feel bad jumping on my selfish-train (which I would if I were you) then how about you gift a couple uniforms for me so amazing kids like those are allowed to go to school.

Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know,
For you I’d bleed myself dry,
For you I’d bleed myself dry.”

Thank buhjeezus for Google Reader because without this genius invention, there is no way I’d keep up on the zillion blogs I follow. I think that a look into my reader is a pretty solid description of my interests and ways in which I choose to waste my time/learn about all things important in the world. Because of this, I always wish I could peek into other people’s “blog follow” lists to see what they read and to discover new gems. So hey friendswhoblog - let’s do an exchange. I give you 5, you give me 5.
Now, just to preface this list - these are not necessarily my favoritesintheworld, because I feel like those are probably already being followed by a lot of you (but in case they’re not, please discover: a cup of jo, hear ya, orangette, pretty much amazing, the pioneer woman, once wed, wit & delight, MFR, design sponge. I’ll stop there but for your reference, I could go on.) Instead, these are fun/interesting/unique/hopefullynewtomostofyou blogs that I love.
1. White on Rice Couple: stories of food, travel, life through photography.
You will fall in love with these two and ohhmygoodness, their photos are beautiful and just make you want to eat and eat and eat and travel and travel and be merry always.
2. I am Fuel you are Friends…spark a new musical discovery.
An awesome colorado chick with a stellar taste in music who records really amazing sessions with really amazing artists in a very beautiful chapel and then allows us lucky folks see and download them. Too many positive adjectives for you in that sentence? I’m just trying to make a point…good music lives here.
Lists made by notable people from all centuries and genres published on one really sweet blog. Super interesting and sometimes comical.
One of my favorite, witty travel bloggers (who happens to be based in my city!).
Hiiiiiilarious videos, all day every day. Maybe everyone already knows this one…not sure. Either way, it’s too good not to share since it takes up a decent portion of every single hour spent on my computer. Enjoy.

Things I am excited about:
My birthday is in less than one month. Don’t worry, wish list coming soon.
I am going to see this surf-guitar phenom in concert on friday evening.
Remember how I said my girlfriends and I were going to Boise? Well, we changed that to Denver…and it’s happening in 72 days!
Today I am thinking about my sista and brotha who recently followed their dreams, packed their lives into a small car and moved out to phoenix.
I know they are also facing some new-city challenges but I am SO confidant that once things settle down they are going to do amazing things, meet unbelievable people and grow exponentially as people and as a couple.
Can’t wait to visit!
