I know you know I know so what's the point of being slow. Let's get this show on the road. Today.

What? Sometimes Kelly Clarkson says it best. Her (my) point being, yes, I've been avoiding me/you. I'm confusing myself. Moving on.

Holy crap. It feels like an entire lifetime of "stuff" has happened since I last blogged. Enough that I don't much feel up to the task of beginning to summarize it. So, instead I say...I had an amazing summer, filled with asses on blankets and good friends (to whom most of the asses belonged). And then I moved to Nebraska. Hahahaha.

I know I mentioned this possibility in a post not far below this, however, during the few weeks after that, I decided to not move to NE and instead stay in STL for the summer (which I did, subletting 3 different places, in a period of 4 months--I was quite the gypsy) while looking for jobs in Chicago and a few other places.

As fate would have it, I ended up applying to a job here on a whim (aided by the coaxing of a facebook link/message from a friend) and whaddya know. I ended up here after all.

Believe me, the first weekend I thought, "What have I done. I've made a terrible, terrible, mistake." But as soon as I started work on Monday, I remembered why I decided to move back. I'm really enjoying my job so far, and it didn't take long (really, only the first day) for me to remember how much more fulfillment I get from working with my fingertips at an edit station, as opposed to say on a malfunctioning Blackberry.

I know that this job is going to push me and not only test, but improve my skills. Not just with editing, but also behind the camera, with running a website, graphic design, flash animation, etc. An added bonus is that I also get to work in a situation where I'm learning more about journalism, advertising, and audio production. Granted, I did take classes in these fields but never thought I'd be working much with them.

Which is exactly why this job is great for me. It's giving me the experience to become a more rounded producer/developer/creator of media, in multiple forms (haha, get it, multimedia?), which has always been my goal.

Plus, constantly learning new things? Psh, that's a dream for a kid whose teachers were both parents....wait that came out wrong.
