i have reconnected with a friend i haven't talked with in AGES! it was so great to catch up with her. we've exchanged a couple of emails and it feels like home again with her. it's such a relief to have a normal, loving, wonderful friend. even if she IS miles away. and talking with her seems like we picked right back up from when we were 11.

here's what's going on.
the "internship" was really just a man feeding me a line with a big word in it. i'm still technically an "intern," i guess, but it doesn't mean a) work, or b) payment. so it's really nothing at all, except initial flattery that has worn off by now.
church continues to keep me busier than anything. serving as the chair of the communications committee is a ton of work, and i had to put together and man a booth describing the committee, our goals, and our needs this past weekend. i actually got a lot of sign-ups and a lot of compliments on the over-all look of the booth, plus i networked better than i ever have before. so far it has amounted to a new bunch of committee members and a hopefulness in the direction of where the new members can help us travel. plus, the man who is currently working on the website sent me a link to a job posting that he thought of for me, but i'm not qualified to apply for it. still, it was really nice of him. that's how networking works, i guess. it's pretty cool to think that i didn't do a half bad job at it.
becky is moving out of her apartment by the end of this month, and she doesn't have a place yet. so she's moving in with her sister for a couple months while she looks for a new place. i'm helping her pack up and getting the rest of my stuff out of here. it's taking up a lot of energy and time, but it's lucrative, and i'm happy to help her out. right now i'm cooling off from a marathon of loading things into my car. i'm already very pooped from all of today's work.
i'm going camping this weekend with some girls from my church small group. one of the girls is my age and i had the sense that she may have some ED issues, so i approached her about it, and my hunch was correct. we met up yesterday at starbucks and had a nice talk over tea. it turns out that she hasn't met anyone in her life who can understand, and it was sooo nice to talk with someone finally who gets it. i am really glad that the hunch led me to her and that now she has someone she can lean on for support, too. she's focused on not having her issues, too, which is really good for me. recovery-focused individuals always make me feel better about myself and about life in general than the depression of the non-recovery focused individuals do. i've been there, too, and i'm sorry because i know i was (and still am sometimes) pretty miserable.
mark is ok. he's been focused on work a lot because the star trek early showing has been approaching. i helped him with the marketing and art, etc, of the early show. i just hope it goes well and that he has people show up so that his stupid boss doesn't tell him it was a bad idea all along.
also, he got a motorcycle and i was a little mad initially, but i'm not really any more. i think i'm just being selfish. i want our life to happen so badly, and have for a while now. my selfishness wasn't really anger, it was just a deep desire to live with him, have a shared life instead of this high school see-you-on-the-weekends thing. i think that i interpreted him buying a motorcycle as him investing in something more important than he and i as a unit. i feel so juvenile sometimes because we're ready for that, but we can't have it. i live with my mom, too, which makes seeing him feel more like i'm just having a date now and then rather than a boyfriend i'm pretty ready to be with forever.
anyway, so that's my update. i hope everyone is doing well.
xoxo

looks like the illustration i did for the magazine i'll be published in has impressed the editor-in-chief and she has recommended i be considered as an intern. i'm not entirely sure what this entails in full at the moment, but it's something, and i'm honestly very thrilled!
