up late...
So there's another gap in the paper's lineup and my boss wants me to write another column. This time, however, I've been given more than a few hours notice; I have a couple of days. A personal subject was wanted, and since I'm too fucking busy to have a life right now, I thought about my life a few years ago and stuff. I had a bit of a flick through some older lj entries and... it's weird. I didn't think I'd changed that much? But I sort of have. For one? I used to spend a lot more money on alcohol. And cigarettes, actually. But since I've hardly had time to drink or smoke, I haven't done that as much. Heh, Collin and I used to have a bender weekend every week we could afford it. Those were the days...
I actually wear ties to work now. And I am trying to type using caps in the appropriate places. I'm still going to class but work is really more of a focal point for me now. It's not one of those dumb fast food jobs, y'know? It's something I actually enjoy, and I have to work really hard to be a part of. And.. I feel like I am. Part of something, that is. Mr Rudd's a good boss and Derringer (oh man, have I mentioned this guy?) "like the gun" Douglas is a great photographer. Slightly off-balance person, but great photographer.
Personally, things are great. I'm stable in my relationship and the words 'long-term' aren't odd or scary to me. They just Are. Collin's also getting more grounding. He has someone else he can turn to, even if that person is marginally a douchebag, with whom he feels comfortable with. It's important. Even if there's a dream sometimes :) Also I have a more conservative haircut. Not by meaning to, but just getting lax in going to the hairdresser.
I wonder why so many people still have me friended even though I don't post as much as I used to. Not NEARLY as much. In that vein, and in the vein of thinking about me as a person...
Reply to this post with how long you've had me on your friendslist, and a question. Can be a philosophical question if you want but I was thinking more along the lines of a question about me. If you had one.
I'd love to see as much of my list respond as possible. I think it could be interesting. And I'll reply when I can.
