A long time coming
Wow, it's been quite the long time since I've updated this thing. I suppose I've not really been in the mood to get all 'emo' over life's little curveballs, but I'm updating for shits:
New Job is going pretty good - I've been fortunate enough to be invited into the company permanently (as opposed to being a contractor), and all that jazz has been music to my ears. Some long hours here and there, but I suppose I'll make it through. Hell, the money is worth it until a better position within the company comes along, which is probable.
Life's been going all the same otherwise. I've learned to be less hard on myself, and try not to have such a foul disposition towards those around me - they don't deserve to get static because I've had a bad day/month/event, especially all my best friends. I do have my moments though, and that's probably why I'm writing in my Journal tonight, actually.
I've got an exciting little project that I'm working on with my spare time - an online webcomic along the lines of www.penny-arcade.com and www.pvp-online.com (forgive me for not linking, I'm lazy). It's going to be a blogging/webcomic/gaming news portal where people can read my take on the gaming industry (both pen n' paper & video games), and also register their own blogs, post reviews, and basically unite as one geeky subculture. It's a pretty neat endeavor - I'm currently stuck in the mire of learning advanced ASP programming to pull it off myself - it's altogether been a positive experience though and I'm really excited about the finished project. More news on that later.
Autumn has set in, leaning into winter...and the weather's still forcast to be in the lower 80's next week. What the fuck. Generally I'm enjoying the fall weather - change is good, and has a rather cleansing effect on the soul (at least, for me it does). Winter months tend to be a bother for me, but I hope to have a good winter this year, finally getting out of the house and on my own. I'm so fucking pumped about going out somewhere and chopping the Christmas tree for the apartment - maybe I'm just wierd, but one thing I will always have in my house is a REAL Christmas tree - even if I have to sanction the damn thing all by myself - I'm ready to rock with that.
Nothing going on girl-wise, but that is to be expected. I'm not going to be quite so hard on myself about it however. I think that I have a lot to offer a girl. I work hard, I'm ambitious and have mobility in my life, and things are generally looking up for me - I just hope I can find a girl who is A. not crazy on multiple parallels B. not looking to date a rock star or a tom cruise (of which, I am neither) and C. Is open to being serious and build something. Most of my lack of female companionship comes with a total lack of a social life outside of my immediate circle of friends, and I am totally aware of that. That's how I like it however - meeting a gaggle of strangers just for the sake of 'meeting people' is almost disgusting to me (thus goes my opinion of places such as pubs & singles bars). I suppose it's just one of my comfort zones. Oh well, can't have your cake and eat it too, I suppose.
Onto another day,
Chris
