If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
It’s right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory.
Tan legs & some Dixie Land delight, ridin’ round, windows down on a summer night.
I was there, and that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary.

It's just emotions...

Remember that one Destiny's Child song? That's kinds how I'm feeling at this time. I'll explain in a later paragraph.
What a month has March been, y'all. I'm trying to keep up with all these changes, as well as all the things that are happening at the same time. I have a feeling April will be the same way.
So, as mentioned in a previous blog entry, I got a new job! It's a MUCH BETTER job than the supervisory job I was working for. Even though I did not want to leave the company, nor my co-workers and co-supervisors, I was itching for a better life and a better job…and a better pay since I was beginning to struggle with bills and such. I applied this job at my school's career center, and I was simply browsing around. I was like "hmm, I'll go ahead and drop my resume here and I really don't care if I get a hit or not."
Two days later, I got a phone call from a recruiter at a private bank firm, looking to hire a female IT person to broaden the demographic. She called me in for a phone interview, then had a second interview the next day. The day after that, I got a job offer. Said sayonara to my supervisor job, and ended a whole new world…and a brand new industry. I went from dealing with mukty customers at a clothing store…to managing and administering six bank branches as a computer expert. I'm surprised I got a really good job and I have yet to obtain my Bachelor's!
It's really a lot to take in, but I'm already three weeks in and it's coming along. Just a lot of driving though, especially since all of the bank branches I'm administering are outside the Houston area (two of them are within short driving distance to Roy's house in the Galveston countryside). My home office is located in the rich Houston suburb of Missouri City. It's roughly a 30 minute drive from my place.
A few weeks ago, I learned a little more about Roy and his past. You see, he keeps telling me about his childhood home in Houston's Greater Heights, the neighborhood where he grew up. He and his mom had to leave it behind due to his dad being a complete asshole towards them both. Roy visits him from time to time, but it’s the memories that really put him down. That one day, he was finally brave enough to show me the house where he grew up in. Let me tell you guys…it's shattered, literally shattered. The yard was poorly taken care of. Windows were broken, trees were damaged (probably from the previous storms that thrashed here), and trash that was never taken away. What is wrong with Roy's dad? No wonder Roy and his mom had to flee. He didn't want to take me inside, as it was even worse. I was okay with that, as I've seen enough. I really would like to take him to California one day, though…to show him my childhood home, and where I grew up. I think that would be very nice.
So apparently there is a craze going on right now. Anyone heard of Vietnamese Bubble Teas? You better try one and let me know if you did, because they are my absolute obsession lately. I already finished my first stamp card from the nearby bubble tea bar and got a free one today after work. There's regular (green/black) tea and milk teas. Milk tea is even tastier, I'm not sure why people hate them for some reason…it's just flavored milk lmao.
Hope everyone's Easter was awesome! Mine was celebrated a little differently this year. For once in my life, I actually had to believe in the Easter Bunny. I even got a basket too! Special thanks to Roy's sister who made it all possible, oh…and I even had to dye some eggs as well. It was definitely a first for me.
Unfortunately, as of this blog entry…he and I are currently in fight. I haven't spoken to him since this past Monday. Basically he was being moody, and I couldn’t stand his negativity. So I had to snap at him. I understand this is part of the relationship and things will get better, but right now all I'm doing is giving him as much space as possible. I know things will be okay. I'm just waiting for him to feel better. I still love him with all my heart.
As mentioned, April will carry on that same-o. Expecting things at my new job to turn for the better, as well as things with Roy to get better as well, despite that obstacle. It'll also be one year since I took the trip to Kansas City. I hope uhh…you-know-who is doing okay. Despite what has happened in the past, I still miss the friendship we used to have.
Enough of that negativity right there! Gotta keep my head up and stay positive. :D
