ZOMG A Real Update(tm)!
Well - as much as a real update can be in the twenty minutes I have before I should head out for work.
I realize it's been a super long time before I wrote about anything substancial, so I'll try to make it up to those of you who care. ^^
The whole Boston thing is turning out to be doing really great. After the 1000 miles in 21 hours thing over this past week, it's happilly filled with yet more boxes we need to unpack. Townsend's dad and step-mom in NH gave us a double bed and dresser, complete with head/foot frame and mirror for the dresser. Then it was up to his mom and step-dad's in Maine. God I love his step-dad... he's fucking awesome. He's an ex-Con, ex-Hell's Angel biker dude with matching attitude. We get along great. :P Anyway, they gave us this amazing futon chair and two-shelf bookcase. Then we drove back down to Boston to unload the van, and then it was to Albany this past Tuesday. I didn't get any real furnature from my parents (just my computer chair) - but they did give us lots of other awesome shit like food, silverwear, pots/pans... and a few appliances. Like a new microwave, a coffee pot... even a freggin crock pot and GEORGE FORMAN GRILL. Yaay! They also got us a rice cooker too.
Oh mom. You're so silly, thinking that we make enough money to eat real food. But at least now we have the ability to make real food if we do get the money to buy any. *giggles*
Work is going alright. I have a permanant schedual now, so I work 5 days a week. Wendsdays and Sundays are my days off, and I only work one night shift a week. Sadly, that night shift is Saturday night... but... ah well. Looks like I'm going to be on the ticket desk every Saturday night - and that's actually a good place to be. Huzzah.
Outside of work, I don't have too many friends yet here in Boston. But all the friends I have at work are super awesome. A bunch of people (like, 7 including Townsend and I) are coming over Monday night after work for the George Forman Test Drive. ^^ Townsend's burgers are the absolute best, and I wanna share them with the world. Yay!
Speaking of Townsend... wow. Just. Fucking. Wow.
For those of you who might be in an internet-dating situation right now... while mild caution is never a bad thing, because there are assholes out there who will lie to you about who they are - there is a wide majority of people who are real and true. And for me, Townsend is one of them. I know that most of you who read this are among those that I've met years ago online - NSider or the APH... you guys know what I'm talking about. I mean - look at us. NSider was... so many years ago. Nearing 10, I believe... and everyone from the APH, or the Aurorium... we're all still such tight-knit, close friends.
For those of you who have been with me since the creation of this journal so many years ago... you know that I've been down and depressed for a very long, long time and that suiside was a short time in coming. But then I met Townsend - and I thought my love for him would be the end of me, because I never once believed that things would turn out the way they have now.
I never before thought I could ever feel so loved and happy at the same time. I've been through my fair share of shitty boyfriends and fucked up situations... I know that some of the guys I've been with in the past were using me, and never truly cared about me one tiny bit. But even though it's only been four months since I've been with Townsend... those four months have been enough to erase over six years of abuse, neglect and pain.
It's about time that I get to say that finally, something that I've wanted with all my heart and soul was the right thing to do. ...I've finally been able to do something right.
A lot of you were skeptical about this move when I first started talking about it. Everyone's red flags went up, because most of you know about everything I've been through. And I know you were all worried that this would turn out much the same - and what I would do if it turned out that way.
But with much joy in my heart - I'm able to say that everything's turned out great. I'm so amazingly in love, and loved in much the same way. And I can only now look forward to more good things coming my way...
To those of you who tried to tell me that everything would work out alright if I just kept being strong... thank you, and I'm sorry. I know I was a difficult pain in the ass - and I'm sorry that I never believed any of you. But thank you so much for sticking it out with me... and I hope that some of you can share in the joy that I'm feeling right now.

I have my old cell-phone back, meaning that I'm once again able to recieve phone calls. If you've forgotten the number, feel free to toss me an e-mail at ArtemisEvangelina@gmail.com - and I'll send it to you to add in your phonebooks. Or go ahead and leave an anonymous message here on my LJ, and I'll give you a call instead. ^^
And if anyone is ever in the Boston/Somerville area - please, please don't hesitate to stop by and pay me a visit. I'd love to see any of you, even those of you I haven't seen before!
Welp, it's time to get ready for work.
Much <3 everyone!
