Back to LJ, maybe
Haven't updated here in over 2 years, having mostly moved to Facebook for updates as that seems to be where most people are nowadays. On the other hand, it seems everybody's on Facebook now: my mother, church members, co-workers, etc., which means there are some things I'm not quite comfortable posting there. So perhaps it's time to go back to the occasional update here.
Anyways, for those who don't follow me on Facebook, I've been working in New York City since May, traveling up there Sunday night to Friday night every week. So if you haven't been seeing me around, that's why. Hopefully we'll be finishing up the project this month and I'll have at least a little more time at home to catch up on socializing.
In other news, I have a new boyfriend. Unfortunately, it's pretty much the longest-distance possible long-distance relationship; Edward is Chinese and lives in Shanghai. We met in New York, and I've been over to Shanghai a couple times now, and he's coming here for 3 weeks in February (while China shuts down for Chinese New Year). Of course we skype or qq video chat pretty much constantly.
There doesn't seem to be any practical way for him to immigrate to the US, so I'm looking for expat jobs in Shanghai. I haven't had a whole lot of luck yet, but hopefully something will come up before too long. Either that, or they'll repeal DOMA, but I don't think we can count on that happening in the next couple years.
Other than that, I don't think there's been too much exciting going on. Still playing too much Rock Band 3 and never having as much time to read as I'd like (and the piles of books keep arriving).
