This is a online journal (doh!).
It's written by me Luz.
I'm currently a department administrator for part of an IT group of a insurance company out in the 'burbs.
I've also currently finished up some web design classes and look forward to putting my skills to work, either within the company I'm at or for fun by volunteering my skills elsewhere.
I write this journal because it's fun for me. Simple as that.
I also write in this journal because I can express my feelings, concerns, goals, achievements... everyday things to keep track, later in life, of what I did with my time.
I write this journal as a way to keep in touch with friends who are scattered as far away as the Netherlands and as close as a few neighborhoods.
Escribo para escribir.
My life cast of characters? I've noticed I mostly mention my friend Betty. She's my age, lives in San Francisco, and we've been friends for almost 5 years now. We keep in constant contact through daily e-mails and weekly phone calls. She wants me to move out to Cali, I want her to move out here. We'll see.
I've also mentioned my friend Chris. He was my confidant while he consulted at the company I'm currently at. He now works in San Francisco, making the big bucks, and I haven't seen him since two Decembers ago. I miss him. He and his wife are expecting a beautiful baby this year. Sweet!
My immediate family lives in Texas. I have two sisters: Mir and Mar. Heh. Yes that's what I call them. Mir is a couple of years younger than me, married and has two beautiful children, Nanis and Joey. Nanis is the love of my life. She's five going on 12, brilliant, and oh so intelligent. I miss her. Mar is 8 years younger than me, the baby of the family. She's married to Chava. They're cool kids and I always have silly fun with them. My brother Bule (pronounced boo-leh) is also married, to Eva and has a child of his own. He's a very typical tejano, funny as hell. I miss them all. My parents are my parents. Nuff said. Yeah, I miss them too.
There was also someone I referred to as Mr.Boy. He was my first love. I felt pain and joy like I've never felt in my life. I can say with confidence I'm no longer in love with him. I still see him though...sometimes it's good, lately it's been bad. Whatever.
I recently met some girls that I've become closer to than I ever imagined. Four beautiful, strong, warm, kind, FUNNY latinas who I've been spending enormous amounts of time with. Within these people are three new guys who I've also become close to. We've formed a strong circle. We shall see how all of this develops.
Closet cousin is just that. He's my 29 y/o male cousin who's not yet out of the closet. No, not even to me. But I know. I wish he'd just admit it already and start living his life to it's fullest instead of poisoning himself with so much bitterness.
There are other characters in and around but they come and go constantly so I don't think I should mention them. I tend to not write about other people, just myself and things that affect me.
And lastly, lookout for an update on my relationship with Benicio del Toro.
