far from here
Haven't written here since March. Been whoring myself on other social networks (tumblr, faybay, etc.) I guess, but I haven't forgotten you, LJ.
Since March, I've managed to graduate from college, and take some staggering steps towards being a grown up. I have a "real job" - whatever that means, which I am grateful for because lots of people are not so lucky to find employment as easily as I have. Of course, a "real job" comes with responsibility that sits uncomfortably on my shoulders a lot of time. Being fresh out of college means that you are also used and abused, and not always treated fairly by your employers or your co-workers. It's tiring. I worry about my boss' re-election constantly. I swear I've developed an ulcer these past few months. But, life is not fair and there's no better time to learn that.
I had big plans to move out and move in with Kathryn, which I had to readjust. There's no point in moving out until I figure out where I want to go to graduate school (and what I want to do with my life?), and now that my mom has stopped drinking (8 weeks sober this weekend) things at home are a lot better. I'm beyond amazed by how well she's doing. I feel like I fully have a mom for the first time since before I can remember. It's been really nice.
I'm bored, really. Things are too quiet, too settled, and Hagerstown is stifling. I feel like I need to strike out, on my own, and make something of myself.
I just don't know what that would be.
A roadtrip would be nice. Cross country, I'm thinking.
