New Beginnings

Well, so much for leaving DC after the summer. Between those three posts from the past year, and now, I ended up buying a place which we moved into late November. It still threw me off some eventhough the move was only within a 10-mile radius. It was a good location, pretty close to downtown as small as DC is. There is a metro station that is walking distance, shops, grocery stores nearby as well. Though with it being cold, I haven't had a chance to explore the neighborhood more by walking but I'm familiar with it to an extent. Though there's always something nice when you discover hidden gems when you just walk around, like I used to do.

Work's alright I suppose. I moved to a different position few months ago, and learned the system that my agency has implemented. However, people would still e-mail/call me about stuff that I used to do. Granted I can do them, it adds up if one or two people would contact me everyday about little issues while I'm trying to focus on things I should be doing. It's getting frustrating, and the people that they hired at my previous role are not too technical either so that's definitely not helping since they pass on everything to us now. Maybe if they try, I'd be more understanding but that isn't always the case so bleh, it's annoying.

Whew, I'm definitely gonna try to post more though instead of talking about it, I should just start doing it. I miss just having an outlet to put my thoughts down, and being able to look back and see how I was feeling, and what my concerns and hopes were at that certain time.

Yesterday, I ended up taking off since I had to go to the dentist for a routine checkup. It just wasn't something I had growing up, ha! 16 yrs old and I only went to the dentist once, and it was at our school which was mandatory. I drank a lot of soda when I was younger, not knowing it messes up the teeth's enamel, so my teeth are a smaller than they could be otherwise. Will work on that later though, and will be getting braces instead. It's a tad expensive but it'll help fix my teeth, maybe making me feel better about myself too? I don't really think about my teeth too much, since I still have a nice smile (well I've been told haha) but when I see people with really nice teeth, I get jealous.

A photographer was doing some natural portrait series back in 2009. I did it for free, well not free I guess since she gave us a choice of either getting paid, or getting a copy of the pictures which I chose. She said she really liked my smile, yet picked one where I really wasn't..Huh!? But getting back to the point, the pic shows the gaps that'll get fixed when I get braces. I'm curious how it'll change my look/how I feel about myself. I've gotten used to it ya know, though I'm really hoping it'll sssstop my mild lisp. My tongue sticks out a bit with the 's' sound so yea, that I'm looking forward to.
