This reads like something you'd receive in a Christmas card, but whatever.
For those of you who I haven't kept up with, or only periodically check Facebook, here's a brief summary of what I've been doing since August.

After graduating, I accepted a job at Tribune Publishing in Columbia. I worked there for three months, loved the staff and didn't mind the work, but I desperately needed to leave. I sent out my resume daily, went on a few interviews, and took a job with Cohesion, a small advertising agency in St. Louis. I moved here in November and currently live with my Aunt Marilyn, who is pretty much the sweetest lady ever. (When I see her before work she's all "You caught me in my curlers!" It's so cute.) I'll be moving into a new apartment come next Friday, located right across from Forest Park, down the street from the Delmar Loop and Wash U. I bought a car last month (one of those smallish economy cars that are all the rage these days), and (fingers crossed) no one has broken into it yet. I'm still dating the fella from Columbia and we're hitting a year soon. I have no idea where that's going, but I imagine you'll hear a lot about it, regardless of what happens. I'm trying to keep up with my writing, but it's difficult when you don't have a computer. I've started a blog for book reviews I've written, but I'm not happy with most of them. I'll list the address somewhere once I've revised a few and sent them out. (Yes Bookslut, that means you.) Besides the basics, I'm also excited to decorate the new place and meet more people. I've been in the city for two months and have established some favorite haunts, but a little company wouldn't hurt. One of my Mizzou BFFs beat me here by a few months, and she's been amazing, but I'm definitely missing my core group of college friends.

In short, I'm kind of an adult now. I have bills to pay, a schedule to keep, and a business card that I use mostly to enter free lunch giveaways. Despite the boring nature of this entry, it's pretty exciting, and besides that, I don't have much else to say. I really need another place to write (I love you MySpace blog, but it's just not the same) and after going through some old entries the other day, I realized that I miss this. Granted, I doubt I'll post often, but it's nice to know that it's here for the occasional venting session or superfluous shit, er, survey.

Hey, let's get together sometime! I work in the Loop, across the street from the Pageant (along with Borders in Brentwood). It's funny - I grew up thirty minutes outside of St. Louis but I'm just now exploring everything that St. Louis has to offer. Have you been to the art museum yet? I went there for the first time about a month ago and now it's definitely one of my favorite places.

No, I need to go to the art museum! I have also yet to visit the City Museum, which is apparently incredible. Anyway, we should totally get together sometime. I don't know a lot of people in the city yet, so most weekends I'm really bored or running errands.

I didn't know you were in town. I've been in St. Louis all week, just having tea with my grandma. But now I'm trying to escape the ice storm and head back to school.

Seriously, what is with this town and ice storms?
