La-di-da-di-di....

Apparently I owe the world a blog, but the sad thing is, I really have nothing exciting to update and I don't feel like going into political discourse at 8:30 on a Saturday morning either, despite just doing my news/blog catch-up for the week since work prevented that this week. So, what to talk about?
I guess, of course, the biggest news is that I'm all moved into my new place in Hoboken. Things were fabulous until of course, I decided to try to figure out how to legally park my car here. It now seems this is impossible without switching over my registration and then my insurance, causing that to skyrocket, and me to want to die as I watch my savings go out the window. As a result, I'm in a jam and trying to figure out what to do....or basically what my cheapest option is. (My thought process right now is....how about I move back to the Middle East 2 years early and save lots of money??) I'm thinking that at this point, it would be most economical all around to give my car back to my parents and jump the train up to their house when I need it. Otherwise, parking down here in a garage will cost over $200 a month and gas is only going to rape my wallet further.
Anyway, aside from that, nothing new and exciting is going on. I'm working full time and enjoying it, but also finding out 9-5 is NOT for me. I get SO bored and I don't feel like I'm doing anything worth while really. I want to be out there doing something positive for the world ya know? Its odd because I find myself sitting at my desk now and then dreaming about being overseas and working in a refugee camp or something. I think the fantasies have been aided by my current read.....a biography on Gertrude Bell.....let me tell you.....I want to be her and I already am SO much like her. It kinda freaks me out at times, but I connect with her so well. She was essentially an adventurer of the Victorian Era who traveled the world, but fell in love with the Middle East and the Arabs (particularly the Bedouin....my favorite people!) and because of her great knowledge of the region and the people, eventually influenced British foreign policy and helped to shape the Middle East.....although we all know the British didn't do a very good job....she was one of the few voices trying to truly give the Arabs all they deserved and map the Middle East correctly. Maybe I'll be the Gertrude Bell of modern day America someday =)
