Halloween

In the spirit of Halloween, I'm posting Amy Lee's song on the Nightmare Before Christmas (revisited). It's so spookalicious, I absolutely love it and somewhat fitting. I also love the fact that she plays the harp.



I've got some things I need to handle at the moment, I might be moving out of my apartment for various reasons...mainly, that the place is going into short sale. I got some really good advice from my bar exam review friend who has been a practicing attorney for a couple of years. If I move back to Charlotte, things would be interesting because I would move in with my best friend(s). On the other hand, I could stay here. I am starting to see the benefits and the disadvantages of both.

Anyway, so far I have no specific Halloween plans, I just might lay low and go see a movie like Saw V by myself...spooky! In other news, 2/4 has kicked my ass this month...gg good month. Why can't I run good one time?!?! Seriously, I think I need to readjust/retool because being 10 buyins down there overall is really messing with my head.

Reviving this blog!

Wow so its been almost exactly a year since I updated this blog. How ironic! I actually doubt many people will read this since most people think I update my CR blog.

And actually, for those who don't know I decided not to renew my CR subscription and instead happily mooch off my friends' accounts for CR, Leggo and DC. (Cheapo much?!?!)

Poker has been going pretty well the past few months, I just had my biggest month ever in September of 12.6k (at one point it was very close to 14k but that's ok). I wish I had a graph, but some of the play was on Cake and I have NO idea how to import HHs from there and then some of my other play was on Stars. Stars and my HEM didn't like each other until I updated HEM so I lost quite a bit of hands there to be imported. So I just basically have FTP hands and here's a screenshot: ( I run bad at FTP 2/4 imo)



Life wise, well maybe I'm kind of in a funk. I think Vegas is pretty lonely in the WSOP off season. Lately, I've been thinking about where I wanna move next. My closest friends that are in Charlotte think I should move back. The first words out of all three of them when I call is "So when are you moving back?" I don't know. I do know there is a pretty good job (temp/doc review) stuff that has 2-3 weeks off in between projects which would be good for poker + having a real job with benefits that I could do there. On the other hand, I do like Vegas. I think things will get better in the next few months. Dodgy has been talking about visiting again and I absolutely adore him! Anyway, I think I'm going to visit Ray (booshiet/Hustler) too and I'm so fortunate to have such an understanding and trusting boyfriend! *muah to L.*

P.S. Shoutout to Rayray for owning hard at 25/50 tonight!! He took 53k off a pro HU sng player

End of this blog

CR now offers poker blogs for members so I will be using that site instead of this. (plus I think it offers more privacy). GLGL at the tables :)

Updates

I have a new doggie to add to my little family of me and Minko. Her name is Ava and she is the sweetest thing I have ever met. I also think the prettiest!

Onto poker things, taking shots at 100nl again, would have been up by a good bit if I didn't get coolered, but I did win the biggest pot ever.

Reviving the blog

Update time here! :)

Now that the bar exam is over, the actual bar and the ethics portion it's time to play much much more poker. No excuses really.

In other life news, I went to see the Family Values Tour this weekend in ATL with my best friend who flew all the way from Detroit to go with me. We also went to the World of Coke and that was super awesome. We had so much fun and I haven't seen him since he moved to Michigan about 7-8 months ago. Oh yes, side note...doing double vodka on the rocks + outdoor concert in ATL = sure fire way to be dehydrated and hungover. Haha, I am too old to be partying the way I used to back in undergrad or just out of practice.

I also have a personal trainer now. I meet with her twice a week and have to hit the gym 4 days a week with the 5th day being a "fun, free day." What that means is that as long as I get in some form of exercise it really doesn't matter. I'm supposed to be keeping a food log too blah she's probably going to yell at me for all the junk I eat. Tonight, I'm going to hit the gym and maybe do some yoga+cardio or some pilates+spinning. I really love the idea of having a personal trainer, she's there to motivate/yell/encourage me and really pushes me to the limit sometimes. I have a feeling this is going to be another long term expense for me, now I see why celebs have such great bods.

I have to admit it's great not to work since I can go to the gym whenever I want...but I worry about the future. I also really want to live on my own again, selfish as that sounds I'm too used to living by myself and love privacy.

Last update, I did recommit myself to lessons with Rayray another 2 months. He says his game has really improved and his results don't lie, my goal for the end of the year is to be solidly beating 1/2 while being able to take shots at 2/4. Well that's it for now folks :) will update tommorow with some hands...my lessons with Ray are supposed to be on Friday evenings.

Two Days Until D-day

VA Bar exam is on Tuesday and Wednesday. 0.o

Nervous nervous nervous. Gotta go study soon and I feel so far behind. Tommorow I drive back to VA and check into my hotel. Still have quite a few topics to cover and and notecards.

Still a bit up in the air as to what I'm going to do after the exam...not sure where I'll be moving exactly...somewhere in the Charlotte area I guess but with who is the question?

Worry about that later I guess....I also have surgery the day after the bar. GLGLGL to me.

Floundering...

So it's been a week and I feel like I am floundering here in Lexico. I'm extremely lonely. Barbri classes are horrible and there is no one here that I'm close friends with. I hate to say it but I miss Craiggie/Smapty (yeah yeah, I know you're going to laugh when you read this Smapt >:/). I drive by his window everyday going to school and realize he's no longer here along with other people I've grown close with during the two years. It also doesn't help that the school is like a tomb except for the one class. The noise from construction and lack of AC really doesn't help either.

I realized just how lonely I was last night when I was scrolling through my IM lists looking for someone to talk to..blah pathetic. I talked to my good friend Stef today and I really miss her. Come to think of it, it's pretty amazing how close we got in one year. Actually, we had a pretty good group our 1L year. In some ways, I wish I never left but, I know it was for the best even though ironically, I don't really want to be a lawyer.

Anyway, Tyler pointed out to me the other day that I was being pretty anti-social because I did not want to go lay out at the pool with his friends. But, I just feel like they are his friends, not mine and I miss MY friends. So the point of my rambling is that 1) I'm lonely, 2) Lexington sucks and 3) without poker to distract me, I'm liable to go insane before the summer is over.
