3/5 - Legally Blonde the Musical on February 8th

The other night I made kale - boiled, then thrown in the frying pan with olive oil and salt - with brown rice and parmesan potatoes. The parmesan potatoes were from a recipe I got off Pinterest. It was fairly easy, and could have been more healthy, but OMG were they delicious. I overcooked the brown rice a bit, need to work on that.

But I have been cooking more, rather than reaching for a bag of chips to snack on. So I'm happy

I got $5k from my grandpa for my college savings Hoping to expand my savings - for college, moving out, getting a car, starting an emergency fund, and more.

Just finished my fall semester 17 credits down, 48 to go.

Starting community college fall 2012, working toward my associates in arts. Should have it finished by spring 2014, and can then use it to transfer over to a big university - hopefully UNC-Chapel Hill or maybe NC State.

Saw Jesus Christ Superstar in September.

7/11 Tender Is The Night

I got $500 from my aunt and uncle as a graduation present so I'm already halfway there!

Just read "Super Sad True Love Story" by Gary Shteyngart. Amazing.

Gonna try this for a month to start with - not sure what month.

It will definitely be easier once I've moved out and can make my own meals.

Probably the "Mystery Box" thing on Reddit - or maybe online Secret Santa.

North Carolina Pride Festival is on September 29, 2012.

Might go for my birthday next year!

Note: These are separate from the "write a musical" thing.

Either summer 2013 or 2014.

I'm thinking either Hopscotch in Raleigh in September, or Moogfest in Asheville in October.

I really want to go to a bigger one, like Bonnaroo or Coachella, but maybe next year.

I still have a coupon for five classes at the local yoga studio, so I need to redeem those by July!!

Either July 27, 2012 in Wilmington, or - hopefully I'll be able to visit my dad in Utah this summer, in which case I'd do August 13, 2012 in Salt Lake City.

Have a few more pills to go as of 5/12/12. After I finish my current bottle, I'm going to start taking them every *other* day - so my next bottle should last about two months. After that I'm done. Also seeing a doctor once a month about it. I've been on them for almost two years now, so it's going to be both weird and freeing to not be taking medicine that affects my brain.

Should have it by next month
