Ha!
Well, it's been a long time, again- Had to hack into my account as I couldn't remember my password. This is for all those who happen to look again- love the shock value (mentally pictures friends keeling over in shock as they randomly visit in a vain hope that updating may have occured and see that, against all odds, something has!!
Those of you who know me, know pretty much what's been going on so I'll skip the last four years- they weren't very exciting anyway; mostly lots of confusion, searching for meaning, giving up, trying it again, finding new hobbies, stopping the perpetuation of lies I'd been telling myself, and being generally reckless- but without too many adverse effects. :)
So, now I'm in California searching for a place that will teach a girl some Brazilian Jiu-jitsu without relacating her to the "self defense against rapists" category. I just want to learn to fight in every way possible, and I've always been partial to rolling around on the floor, why is that difficult to comprehend? I'm not impressed with any of the Tae Kwon Do places around here thus far, but i'll likely join one anyway just to keep it up for the year that i'm here- yes, I'm only planning on staying here a year while my sister is in school- and howw depressing would it be to go back and visit my home dojang and find I've forgotten everything? Humiliating...
In the mean time, I'll be trying to figure out if there's a career that I really want to pursue or if I should just run away to the mountains and raise goats. :) The problem with that idea is, of course, that I love dancing with a passion, not to mention martial arts, and I don't know that there'll be much opportunity for that raising goats in the mountains. I have too much stuff to just chuck it all and back pack around the world- not to mention, I'm sure that despite my training I would eventually fall a-foul of some evil buggers at some point or another- might be interesting in an academic sense to consider the likelihood that I'd be able to fight my way out, but I'm in no real hurry to find out for certain... ;)
regardless- hope you're all well.
Stupidity for the day- spent time searching for Jeff (you guys remember him, right?) online- just curious as to where he ended up, but not willing to call him- have enough trouble with the others, though that is one great thing about moving- several states of distance tend to decrease interest... unless you're Italian.
