My 21st birthday is in 2 weeks!!! I'm happy about, but at the same time I could care less. I'll still be the same person, I wont be different, the only thing that's different is I can drink...legally. Not that I drink now, but well you get it. I just wish my birthday wasn't on Valentines Day. Every year it's so hard to find some where to go to eat, since everyone goes out with their husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend and all the good places are booked. But this year we're going to have a birthday lunch at Scoty Hotty's restaurant, so I'm happy.
I'm going away for the weekend with my friends to Palm Springs. I'm getting everything finished. It's going to be Travis (Vegas), Chuck, his Travis (hopefully), and my semi-bestie Tim. (It's a real love/hate relationship with him for me.) So I'm excited. It's going to be the first time that I'll be seeing Travis squared and Chuck since Maine(!). Plus Tim will finally get to meet all those boys that I can't stop talking about. Can you tell I'm freaking out/way over excited to be going away and see my boys?

New Year and New Me
Almost a month into the new year and I've made some changes to my life already. I've been back on Jenny Craig and so far have lost 6 or so pounds. So hopefully by the end of the year I'll be down a quite a few pounds. Also I'll hopefully be in school again and on track to get my BA...we'll see about that.
Not much else has happened. I have about 6-7 resoultions and have only done 2 so far. I'm working on the others...kind of.
So a short post about the new year and I'm off. Ciao!

Christmas Bells Are Ringing!!!
So it's a week from Christmas and I have bought no gifts...I'm a poor from my trip to Maine and have no money. But then again I can still get away with the "my mom bought the present for my dad, but say it's from me" still, so I think I'm covered.
Someone's happy for Christmas...my niece, Layla.
All in all this year has been an interesting one.
January-May was my focus on school and work. I wasn't in theatre at Marymount because it was going to be WAY too much work and plus I'd rather make money at my job, then work with John Lane again...I will NEVER work with that man again. All in all school turned out ok. It was better for me not to the spring show. I ended up doing pretty well in the end and am happy to have been able to walk at graduation even if I still have yet to get my AA.
June-September was spent first on jury duty for 3 weeks in June. That was a interesting time as being yet again being the youngest person (ringing any bells...Maine) on the jury. I thought it was a fun time, plus I got paid. July and August was suppose to be my time to figure out where and what I was going to do for school. I ended up not going to school in the fall and have been at my mom's work ever since.
October was my month in Maine. What started out as a 17 day trip to help out with the No on 1 campaign turned into a month long trip (with 5 days being home) that showed me how to work in a campaign and also get some new friends that are family to me. (Look at previous posts for more!)
November and now December have seen me back at home trying to find out what I'm going to do for school next year. I only applied to one school *fingers crossed* and am probably not going to go to school again for the Spring semester, so now I have to find a job...yet to get one or hear from anywhere that I put an application into.
So I'm hoping that the new year is a better one. xoxox

Be Thankful
So I know this is a couple days late, but here's the Thanksgiving day blog.
What I am thankful for:
This year the biggest thing I'm thankful for is my new family I made when I was in Maine. While in Maine I met some pretty awesome people who I wouldn't have met if I didn't go to Maine last month. Every single person I met there changed my life in some way. These few people that I mention are only the few that I met and love to death.
Ryan: After only knowing each other for less then 4 days he let me stay with him for the last 2 weeks of the campaign. Yes in the end we had a disagreement and I was kicked out on my last night in Maine, but now we're friends again. I dearly love him and hope to see him soon. Plus who doesn't love a cute gay boy that lets you stay in his home and pretty much into his life for 2 weeks?
Chris O'Connor: When I talk about him I say that he was "my dad" while in Maine. He made sure I was ok when we together and always watched out for me. He's not the only one who watched out for me, but he's the one who I say made sure I was where I needed to be and had a way to get home.
Matt Moonen: Um, well since he is King Matthew, I guess I should talk about him. Kidding...Going to lunch to just hanging out in his office we had a blast. Stealing purple smelly markers for him was a personal past time that was fun. Plus who else could I paint the town purple with? Did I mention the color purple?
Travis: My little brother...yes at first I didn't like him, but once I got over it we ended up being close friends. Probably because we were the youngest two (should have been on staff) super vols (super volunteers) so we were always together when the staff would go out. When he was gone it didn't feel right. Not having him there so I had someone to talk to was hard. Luckily we talk to each other at least once a week, so I'm not so upset that he's not around all the time now.
(Data) Patrick: One of the three Patricks that were in Maine with me, but the only one who can pull off wearing orange. He's the only person who's allowed to read my blog because I know he wont go around telling everyone what I had written about the campaign. Not that anything bad was written on here, it's just these are my personal thoughts about what was going on during the campaign and some of the stuff was embarrassing.
And finally:
Chuck: What can I say about Chuck? That I love him forever? That he's the one person I truly couldn't wait to see again when I went back to Maine? That even if we haven't talked in weeks and no matter how mad I am at him for not calling me all he has to do is write a quick message on my facebook and he's forgiven? Yes, Yes, and Yes. He knows how much I love him and that he's the first person I called when I got back to Maine. He was also the one person that when ever a bunch of us would go out I had to seat with him or I'd not be happy.
Now these aren't the only people that I'm thankful for, but only a handful of people that I met and love dearly. From the people who adopted me (Nate, Julie, and Miguel) to all the San Diego people (Tres, Gaby, Matt, Kevin, and everyone else) I am thankful for being each and everyone of them.
Now I just have to find a way to go visit all of them throughout the year.

22 Hours and counting
We're offically not using days left until election day, we're not on hours!!! There are still loads of people in the office and I'm still here...not able to leave because Ryan is now Dan's bitch for the night. *SIGH* I'm not really tired, but I do wish I had some clean clothes with me. I DO NOT want to do stuff tomorrow with the same clothes I wore today.
Well the weekend was busy because we started our GOTV (Get Out The Vote) for the final 4 days of the campaign. We're getting to the office at 7AM and leaving way to late at night...well not me. I made sure I went home to get sleep because without sleep I WOULD not be having a good day. So people were always really mad because I left when I had to. I was not about to stay all night to do stuff that Andy (not Ben) should be doing. Don't get me started on him.
Anyway Saturday I got to the office at 7:15AM because Ryan had work at 7 and Chris (Ryan's somewhat boyfriend) brought me to the office. Saturday night I had a night in with Justin (Ryan's roommate) and we watched I Didn't Know I was Pregnant. We laughed because one of the episodes was called "Is That a Baby in Your Pants?" I went to bed at my normal time. Ryan ended up not coming home until noon on Sunday and I ended up not spending much time in the ofice. Well, I had to stay while Ryan and Chris left to get ready for the rally we had on Monday.
Monday I was on campus recuitment, which I was so not happy about until I found out that Chuck and Patrick were going to be doing it with us. I ended up going to campus with Patrick because I was mad at Chuck (for something that happened, but he apologized). I had a blast doing campus stuff all day and Ayari was so happy with me that she gave me the Milk poster that she had promised me before I left! I can't wait to put it up on my wall at home.
Tuesday's the big day! Polls are tied and we're getting all the votes that we can. I'll be in the office at 6AM (probably earlier because of Ryan) and I'll be on campus. I'll keep you posted!

Who split the Turf?
It's only 4 days to go before election day and it's getting crazy! I've been spliting turf (the different places we're going to canvass the next 4 days) all day. They even put me as the lead person. Well after Laura and Andy, but still that's cool that I'm the one people go to since Andy and Laura are wicked busy today.
The down side to this whole day is that I'm about to call asleep. I stayed with Chuck last night at his supporter housing because he didn't want to take me home. So we had a late night anyway because we were talking forever about his ex-boyfriend, who's his boyfriend again. (It's complicated) and then we were laughing about our little inside jokes.
So this morning I got to come to the office with the clothes I wore the day before...ewww...and to top it off Ryan ended up not coming in until he had to go to work because he was up until 530 this morning and all that other fun stuff. So I was sitting around tired and smelly not having that Ryan couldn't get his butt up to get my new clothes...well he ended up pulling through and brought me my clothes so I feel so much better now. I just hope tonight is an early night because it's going to be a long day tomorrow...which reminds me that Ryan isn't gong to bring me to the office and I need to figure out who's bringing me to the office.
All in all today's been one of those days where I'm ready to pass out and I'm so ready to be done with this whole thing.

Back in Action
I'm back in Maine and back writing the blog. I can't believe how much has changed in such a short amount of time. It's like a totally different office now. There are tons of people here. And more are still to come.
I got in Tuesday night and the first person I talked to was Chuck. I've missed my boys. I was going to see them on Tuesday night, but ended up not because Ryan and I were sleeping on our feet. I don't even know how we got home. Speaking of homes, Ryan's place is totally nice. I love it. Plus his roommate, Justin, is really nice. The three of us are going to get along great.
I'm happy to report that Ryan and I are going to the office together, which works out great because I get to the office and he does his work before going to his real job. Then he and I will be meeting up again at the office when he's off work.
Last night while I was waiting for Ryan to finish up talking to Chris guess who just happens to come into the office...CHUCK AND PATRICK!!! I was over the moon when I finally got to see them because it was a week since I'd seen both of them. I'd talked to Chuck Chuck ended up stealing my ring. (The one that I wear on my left ring finger) He said that he's gonna wear it until the end of the campaign. I said if he loses it that I'll windmill kick him in the face.
So after I sadly, had to leave my boys Ryan and I got home to finally sleep and get ready for today. We were an hour behind in our "sleep schedule" and I was ready to get to bed...which ended up with Ryan in his room slicing his finger open because he broke a glass...OW! Luckily he's ok, but he says his finger still hurts. :(
Now I'm doing the hide out in Matt's office, so I don't have to do anything right now. I've been trying to write on my blog for 2 days now. Hopefully in 5 days there will something great to report...like that we won!!! *fingers crossed*.
