Nothing turned to Something

I haven't posted anything in the last few days but not for a severe lack of trying. I just don't have anything interesting to ponder or say. I still don't. So I guess this post will serve to update.

I have not shared this tidbit with anyone except my immediate family and my two favorite co-workers... so feel special. I am interviewing for a job at the new mental hospital in Butner this Friday. I'm so nervous. This job is three pay grades up from where I'm at now and it pays way more, so I really hope I get it. I'm thinking it would seriously help me out in the whole finding a place to move to deal as well. After my interview I'm heading back home and then once Jordan arrives we'll be off to Wilmington for the YSA Conference. Some of my friends would rather just go to the beach instead but I'm all about going to the actual conference. I need some serious spiritual nourishment right now. Anyone that knows the old me will think that's crazy but the people who know the reformed me will get it. I'm not one of those uber religious people by any means... I don't plaster Jesus all over everything and I don't walk around telling everyone that they're in my prayers and that God loves them, and all that stuff the extremists do but I am trying to live my life in a way that would be better for me and would be an example of my beliefs for others to see. Something I've always loved about our church is that people don't walk around trying to thrust our religion in everyone's face... some of you may guffaw at this but for the most part it is true. Anyhow, I've gotten off track and begun ranting LOL. I need some spiritual nourishment so I'm looking forward to this weekend. I've been going around and around in a bit of a slump lately... caused mostly by my lack of involvement with other people. That is about to change in a big way.
I got called to be the Activities Committee Chair for the Raleigh University Ward. It's a drastically huge calling for me. I've accepted and was sustained two weeks ago. Things have picked up already with the planning of a Regional YSA Conference in Raleigh. So, my lack of involvement with loads of people is about to be abolished completely. I will have no choice but to be around people constantly and I will love every minute of it. I like being around people, meeting new people and chillin with the one's I already know. I've gone through the last two years with minimal contact with as few people as I could manage...and completely on purpose. I was wounded and needed time to heal and become, not what I was but something better, someone that could be around people. I don't think I've been this long ever without being the intense social butterfly that I've always been. My cocoon has been shed though and the new and improved Ariel Butterfly is ready to socialize. Wow that was cheesy! HA!

My favorite thing about this coming weekend is going to be meeting people. I can't wait! I hope I make some really fantastic new friends and have even more reason to go visit the beach than just the sun, sand and surf. Speaking of the last... I had contemplated taking my board and trying to break it back in (Or more appropriately break myself back in) But I've decided to leave it, rusty and dusty, against the wall until I can get my body back into shape. Surfing is a humoungously active sport and, not to mention dangerous, so I want to make sure I'm physically fit enough to go about it properly. *Sorry Steph :-/ I swear I'll bring it to the beach soon! :-) * Alright so, I guess I should go about pretending to be working for a while more.
