Life in general

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 24, 2008, 1:57 PM
I never quite feel right blogging on myspace or facebook so I figured I'd give it a try on here.
As some of you know, I moved to Eugene, Oregon about 6 months ago. Life here as been so crazy amazing that I'm not quite sure I can even explain it all, but I'm going to try.
Since moving here I've lived in a hostel, a shitty, haunted, moldy apartment and now the nicest house a girl could ask for. The landlords are organic farmers who encourage us to use our garden and to use our back yard for composting. They let us have animals and haven't yet questioned the amount of stuff the "5 people" living there have. Truth is I live with 8 others, and come Saturday we'll be adding 3 more people and 4 cats. Sounds absolutely insane right? 12 people and 4 cats in a 4 and a half bedroom house....but it's actually the most wonderful thing ever! We all get along so great and manage to have a clean and functional household with roommate meetings, dinners and circus practices. We also help with Food Not Bombs every Friday, and put on a vegan dinner every saturday night for about 20+ people at our house. We're not behind on any bills yet and the cops haven't been called on us even once.
Also since moving to Eugene I've had this feeling come back to me that I can do anything I fucking want. Somewhere along the way I veered off this path, but I've found it again and I've learned to juggle, longboard, ride a fixie, spin poi, use herbal remedies, live for dirt fucking cheap, manage my time, take care of myself and others, appreciate everything and travel.
Speaking of which, come June I'll be hitching from Eugene to Michigan and New Orleans, Minnesota, and who knows where else. I'll be back in Eugene for the Country Fair in July and then I'm off again for Minnesota and Canada and then to Burning Man and the RNC. That brings us to early September at which point i'm heading back to eugene to catch a plane to Spain! Yep, I'm moving to Spain. Or at least, I'm traveling Europe for a good 8 months or so. Who knows what'll happen after that.
I've also met this wonderful boy out here who I'll be a bit sad about leaving, but I'm pretty sure our paths'll cross again. We went out to the coast last weekend and slept in the back of his truck over looking the ocean. Waking up, seeing the waves, smelling the salty water and feeling the sun beat down on your face while walking along the beach hand in hand with someone who's on the same frequency as you is pretty magical, and I'll definitely miss him.
All in all, I don't think I've ever felt so good in my life. I hope you're all feeling just as dandy.
All my love,
Tiana (coming to a town near you!)

Haven't seen you here in awhile.

I hate these things but I think the list is supper sweet and wanted to share it with everyone because it is very true and it makes you smile.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!! this is so scary!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!!

Ok so you can take the last part as you will, I just think it is a nice message to share with everyone.

Of escaping with impunity;
So farewell to the felicity
Of our maiden domesticity!
