Monogamy Smomogamy

I just read that only 3-5% of mammals are monogamous. Pretty crazy, right? I was looking for inspiration for a future tattoo when I came across an article that made me question our actions as humans. Are we even meant to be with the same person forever? I know that it is obviously our tradition to do so, but is it natural? Maybe I'm just trying to make excuses and find reasoning for my disbelief in long-term commitments? Relationships just aren't working for me so I'm trying my best to be happy single and alone. Alone. That's a hard word to swallow.

For now I'll just live in my little dream world of traveling the world and being amazing at doing whatever the hell I want to because I have nobody to ask permission anymore. It's kinda nice feeling free but it gets a bit lonely sometimes.

Hello 2012

Sorry for the lack of blogging. I've had a lot going on. Okay, maybe only a lot mentally going on. 2011 was full of changes that took quite a toll on me and I think 2012 is full of even more new things but I think they will have more of a positive impact. I'd do a 2011 recap for you but my memory is awful, I guess I could refer to old blog posts but I'm going to avoid re-living most of it. Instead I'll just show you a couple of cell phone pics...

Paco looking all cute

Finally bought a full length mirror to use instead of standing on my toilet. lol

Gregory and I on New Years. How awesome is his beard?

Here & There

Okay, so it's official. I suck at blogging. Hah! I'm sorry to those few of you who actually read this but maybe...just maybe....I can start updating again. But no promises. I love my little blog world, but it's hard to find motivation or topics to write about most days.

Lately I've been:

-Working, been there for a little over 2 months now and things are still pretty good. I actually don't mind going to work

-Doing well with my one class at UNC-C and looking forward to next semester

-Wanting to get back into making things. I'm good at making stuff and would be successful if I would just stick with it!

-Spending lots of time with Gregory. I'm far beyond amazed at how much we like each other. I've not really talked about our relationship much via the internet world because I don't want to jinx it....or maybe it's so special that I want to be selfish and keep it all to myself..whatever it is...it's working. That new feeling is still holding strong and I don't see it fading. That has always been a constant issue in my past relationships: loss of interest. Today, I can honestly say that I still find Gregory attractive and I want to see him more and more each day. I love spending time with him and I feel like I never stop laughing and smiling when we're together. Okay enough of that mushy stuff.

-Thinking about how in the world I managed to make it to be 24 years old. I certainly don't feel 24. I feel like I have so many things to do in the next few years.
