Je vous ai dit de façon

Jared started his internship today at this venue called Paradise Lounge Rock Club. It's pretty amazing! He's been there all day today helping the band CKY set up their equipment and doing sound checks and he's gonna be working the sound during the show tonight. I'm so proud of him! We've only been here in Boston for two and a half weeks and he's already immersed himself in the music scene! As for me, I woke up and ate yogurt for breakfast... then I watched some Sex and the City episodes... then I read... I showered... came to Barnes&Noble to mooch there wireless internet... and I've been here since. I guess I forgot to eat lunch 'cause it's now dinner time, oops. I've been working on an online training program for the Boston Public School District so I can substitute... not that I even wanna do that anymore. I loved doing it in Hollister, but this was suppose to be a change of pace. I was suppose to find a writing job... maybe dip my toes into some public relations. Instead I'm here by myself sending out resumes to people who don't want me because I don't have 5+ years experience... and even an internship is out of the question 'cause I'm not a student anymore. And as I wallow in my own self pity that annoying little voice in my head tells me, I told you so....
I knew it was gonna be this way, though... I already knew Jared would be super busy with school and work. But now that it's actually happening, it still stings.... I've missed him a lot today. I've also missed my family a lot today... and my friends. I'm like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City when she moves to Paris with the Russian and realizes she is more alone than she thought she was gonna be!!! Except I don't have money for retail therapy...... And the Russian was a jerk, unlike Jared who truly cares for me... and I don't have as many shoes as Carrie.... and I don't end up moving back home.... So, maybe I'm not really like Carrie. I'm just Deana Fry, in the episode where she moves to Boston with her wonderfully successful husband and at the moment is having a tough time adjusting.... but because she is so fabulous, things will start to look up for her and she will also become uber-successful! And then in the last scene, as she looks out over her laptop pondering life, a less annoying little voice in her head will say, look what you've accomplished... Je vous ai dit de façon, I told you so!
