			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I haven&#8217;t written in awhile but maybe this will help. Being a journalist is not easy. Actually now that I wrote that I&#8217;m trying so very hard to recall a time that it was easy.. Anyways.. this week I had<br />
Monday off because it was a holiday.. and much needed I might add. But Oh am I paying for it now. 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. work days. It&#8217;s terrible to say the least. Especially because I am myself not an early bird at all. But only a couple of more weeks left in Cyn City&#8211; I can&#8217;t believe it! Not really looking forward to moving home though.</p>
<p>On another exciting note though, found out yesterday that I WILL be going to see GAGA next week with Christina!! OMGAGA!</p>
<p><a href="http://marybarczak.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/ladygaga.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17" title="Lady+GaGa" src="http://marybarczak.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/ladygaga.png?w=181&#038;h=300" alt="" width="181" height="300" /></a>That&#8217;s all the energy I have in me to write for now.</p>
<p>Until later newsies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So having spent the last 10 years or so trying to be or being a relationship with a guy.. I&#8217;ve had enough.I&#8217;m 20. I didn&#8217;t even ask for a ring and I got this. Why is it always the nice girls that try hard and want to make something of themselves and have a stable future get this?&#8230; Is that really too much to ask? Because how are you getting through life without a plan? That&#8217;s what I would like to know.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve spent more than half of my life concerned with looking cute, smelling good, trying to create memories, put thought into gifts and his interests&#8230; and for what? Nothing. Nothing ever changes. It&#8217;s the same you&#8217;re perfect, I could never leave you, idk, every time.</p>
<p>So yours truly has decided to enter into the most unthinkable. One well deserved notion. As of 10:27 p.m. on a Thursday night, I am now in a relationship with myself. It sounds lonely if you say it aloud but it&#8217;s not so bad. In fact, actually kind of like it.You get to be you. All the time. No schedule.</p>
<p>You know what this is the best idea I could have had&#8230; to work on me&#8230; because who is the only one that&#8217;s left for you when the &#8220;us&#8221; goes away? It&#8217;s ME.</p>
