It's that time again

that's right! Social networking sabbatical.. ooo ooo oo.. haha, who's excited? this girl.. sorta.

Has it really come to the point where I've separated myself so much from my own life that I have to back up and re-evaluate? I should be able to do this while I'm living my life, not when I'm spiraling out of control! oh silly me.

If you don't already know, Richard and I broke up- but it was a really good break up! We're still friends, and immediately after we thought it would be funny if we put we were engaged on our facebook statuses. We even hung out the weekend after that break-up, and honest to goodness it was NOT awkward in the slightest and was actually a lot of fun.

Well on to other things, something that my friend pointed out about me is that I am always working towards a goal.
"Granted" she said, "it may not be the same goal from 5minutes ago, but it's still a goal." (got to love her for truly knowing me).
Right now I want to be a maker of sweets and a video game ultra-advocate! Those two have been sticking quite nicely so far, so.. I'm a roll, lol.

I still haven't taken a professional cake decorating class.
I signed up for one, but it was full and I was on a waiting list, so I ended up assisting for it. So while I was washing dishes, prepping, bringing in and out materials and helping the chef, I stored some tips in the ole noggin.
I'm currently assisting in classes to earn to take classes (im not really getting a paycheck for assisting, I just get.. more cooking classes as my payment, so I'm kicking my own ass here). I'm crossing my fingers that I gain enough credits towards a baking class on the 20th before it fills up.. there's also a decorating marathon in a couple weeks, but that's a lot more.. hmm.

However, I like that i've never taken professional classes. I think it adds a little more creativity and definitely teaches me things I can possibly work with. I want to take a cake class tabula rasa, however it's hard not to be influenced by the teacher or chefs pedagogical slant for future projects. That's what makes me the most nervous, some ones idea constantly influencing my work and fencing in particular creative ideas and leaving out universal possibilities.

We'll see how things go, I suppose.
20 hours and 18 minutes left until i leave Facebook and Myspace for a while, and even twitter i'll only be posting as CapellasCnC and posting blog updates in MissdTheKickoff. Hmm.. Whether i'm ready or not, it's going to happen.

Let the adventure begin
