The struggles within
Summer should be all about fun in the sun, but there is an air of uneasiness surrounding me. Again, it is time to think and re-think if I want to move out of my current apartment and find a roommate to share a 2 bedroom with, or continue the lease for another year. I've been going back and forth, battling within myself for about 2 months now, but this is the first time I brought it up to the surface. Now I wonder if it'll help if I list out the pros and cons? *hmm*

Pros:
1. Cut back on rent by 1/3, utilities by 1/2, and thus, being able to afford having a washer/dryer IN the apartment itself.
2. Have someone that I can at least have a conversation with, and maybe, get to the point where we can hangout together and get to know more people in St. Louis.

Cons:
1. I need personal space, lots of it. It drives me up the wall sometimes.
2. My roommate might turn out to be a nightmare.
3. My visiting friends would have no place to stay for the night.

I don't know. *shrug*

My life is in such a funk. It's a depressing cycle that I can't seem to get out of. Maybe it's because I know my bestfriend is leaving town for two years, or maybe it's me that's afraid of the change, or maybe it's because the burden of taking care of my sister's future in UW is on me...

I hate growing up.

My own dot com
For the past couple of months, I've been trying to come up with some really creative domain names for a site that I want to set up. I want the site to be my own, not that this 4aunties.net site doesn't have my identify stamped all over, but I want a non-blog site that I can put up my portfolio, resume, site and usability reviews, and etc. I've quite a long list of two-to-three words domain name, knowing that all single word names must've been taken by now. But nothing that I came up with accurately signifies what I am all about, and what my plan for that site is.

So today I finally stopped the brainstorming process and picked a no-brainer: angelinesoon.com *laugh*

Right now that's being forwarded to this very site. I've discussed with a co-worker of mine to have her / her husband host my site for me off one of their many web servers, so I might get a good deal out of it. Plus I don't have to worry about tech support. *crossing my fingers :)*

I really can't wait to get that site up. I'll have plenty of time to work on it in two weeks. Hopefully I'm still as enthusiast then as I am now. :p
