November winds

The year is gone! I can't believe we're already starting November and I already know its gonna go by really fast. I really can't wait for December. I actually dislike chrismas (just like anything that has to do with the hegemonic deity) but two of my best friends are going to be in town!

I might even ask for vacation time!

Trying something out...

I've been single for a little over four years now. I have dated and engaged in semi-serious relationships but I haven't had a boyfriend in a long while. In this time I came to know myself better, to understand a lot of things about the way I work, think and act. I also came to realize the importance of being alone.

However, I think my single time might be coming to an end. I'm starting to feel like I am ready to open up to someone again, to spend time with them and to get to know myself as part of a couple, not just as single Lorena... still, I'm not sure how to go about ending my happy bachelorhood. I'm also not sure about how to get around my commitment phobias (but I guess that you learn by doing).

But how do I start? I'm not really sure how one goes about 'meeting boys' -specially intelligent ones. I guess I just have to go out and do it! (and figure out the way while en-route).

Fin de año

Hoy me levanté y sentí ese airecito frío y la mañana con sol y me di cuenta que ya era fin de año. Esta vez se me apareció sin querer, sin notar que ya estábamos a finales de octubre y que ya viene noviembre, diciembre y un año nuevo.

No me di cuenta de que había puesto una cortina más pesada para que no entrara el aire frío, tampoco de que me ponía mi bata todos los días o que había dejado de andar descalza. Hoy en la mañana salí al patio y respiré aire frío y me dí cuenta que se acabó el 2008.
