Katie and I had an awesome day in Seattle the other day. It was sunny out (but still cold,) all day long. We had free tickets to the Space Needle (thanks, Aaron!) so we took advantage of them on Sunday. We walked around being silly, got lunch, and headed home. It was a great day. I love Katie. =)

Otherwise, not much else has gone on. Been pretty bored. Still looking for a job... and just going through the motions of finishing up my current classes. They are rather boring. Katie, on the other hand, is having a blast. She just interviewed for a job at Grand Central Baking Company and more or less got a job -- either in a month or a week depending on how things play out. I'm so happy for her! She is doing what she really wants to do and she is happy.

Today Sucks -- I failed my math test, and I'm too shitty feeling to make it through English. I lost my DS, too. At least Music Geek is going well. Lately I've been hoping for a job just for health insurance so I can go see a psychiatrist. Bleeeh. Hopefully things won't go too far south.

I'm really tired of living here. I love Washington and have more or less come to terms with the fact that it rains most of the year. It does still make it hard for me to stay happy, though... But, specifically, I hate living at this house. I may as well be living at home again. I have little freedoms to live the way I want to, and even less possibility to express myself. I am restricted to a behavior that doesn't piss everyone off. I am restricted even more so than I was at my own home in Utah -- with my mom and dad. It's terrible. I find it hard to be happy about the fact that I'm able to go to school simply because of the shit I have to put up with at home. I'm made to feel inadequate on a regular basis. I'm sure they aren't meaning to make me feel this way (not Katie, but her parents [her dad, mostly...]) but they are. Every day I feel more and more depressed. I want a job simply so I can move out of here. I'm sick of living like this. I can't fucking sleep because I can't stop thinking about how much I can't stand it here.

On a brighter note, Katie and I had an amazing Valentine's day yesterday. We went out to the best/fanciest dinner I've ever had in my life. I didn't regret at all the exorbitant fee we were required to pay by the end of it (hooray tax returns!) -- I really enjoyed myself. We ate at Arnie's in Mukilteo with a view of the ferry dock, train, Whidbey Island, etc. The food was amazing -- literally the best food I've ever eaten... good wine, too. Arnie's is just down the street so we had a lovely walk. It was cold but more or less clear last night. On our way back we even got to see the stars.

I've started writing for Music Geek again! We're going to have daily posts now with Jared, Matt, and myself taking turns writing new articles. I also plan to work my way into the local music scene and get recorded interviews with local bands -- feature them on the site, etc. Many fun things to come in the music department! I'm excited.

I'm having a lovely pre-Valentine's day date with Katie today at Paint the Town in U-Village! Exciting times! =D
