The Boyfriend.

Dear Nesbitties,

In an effort to shake things up a bit and expand our blogging horizons, I have a proposition for you. How would you feel about having my boyfriend, Jay Drose, as our guest blogger for the month of July?
He promises to post at least once a week and I am also hoping he posts some of his short stories because I think they are very interesting and he is an excellent writer, but you all can judge for yourself. So, let's put it to a vote. You can also look at his website (jaydrose.com) to see some of his undergrad film work.

Hope you all are well and I miss each of you,
Syd.

I will be flying into San Diego on July 14th at 8.10pm with American Airlines.

in an effort to post more

Nothing but a quick invitation for a friend's wedding shower. I was thinking that I should post more, even the little things.

Jay thought you would like this--as a uplifting anecdote to being a year out of art school.

Tell me now

I'm learning that it is really important to say things out loud. I'm a notorious thinker, observer, watcher-- forming my opinions of the world based on the story I build in my brain. Instead of saying sorry, I often get quiet and ignore the discomfort until things explode. I feel silly when I tell people I like them. Even just my friends. And yet I yearn for someone to say that to me.

I think of lot of my failure in goal-keeping is that I also don't like to be frivolous with my ideas and plans by telling every soul, for fear of having to tell all those souls that things didn't work out. I keep it to myself and hope that when things DO work, I get to say, "Surprise! I did it! Yay me!" Really though, this rarely happens.

So, for the month of June I am telling you all (as insignificant as it may seem in the bigger picture, and although you cannot do much from afar but cheer me on) that I am giving up gluten, dairy and refined sugar. I know, right? Food? You're thinking, "where are all the lofty life-goals I was expecting to see next?" Well, I'm starting with food.

Anyone else have any June-goals? Tell me, and I will tell you I like you.
