Updates are hard...ly ever done.
Alright, so alot's happened in the past three months. Alot alot.
I've quit my job at Wal~Mart after a year and a half. I moved to Lacey, WA, just outside of Olympia. I've established myself.
Woofie and I got a job at a lumber yard within a week and a half of being up here, and I also managed to get a friend I'd just recently met a job at the same. A month later Woofie and I got hired at a casino. We're now making almost twice what we were at our previous jobs, because we both got promoted about two months before we were supposed to be able to. We have our own apartment, and had it completely furnished within a month. We have internet and cable now, and we have yet to go a day without at least one good meal.
In three months, I've moved 1500 miles from my family, established myself, and have things going better than they ever have. I can't thank Chris, Matt, Zac, and Ryan properly for all the help they've given woofie and I. I'm afraid it might have cost my relationship with Chris dearly to move up here, but I certainly don't regret the move, just how I handled my relationships when I first got here. Also, on a relationship note, my previous post is still there for the reasons stated, though Baddy and I have made amends and our relationship is stronger than it was when that happened.
Woofie and I will be going to Conifur in October, hopefully with quite a crew. If everything goes as planned, we'll have friends from NJ, AZ, CA, and Mexico coming up. Bunny, you're still very much invited, as are you Airu.
I'm kinda just sitting back right now, trying to get everything set up right and saving for cons and stuff. School will happen in another 10 months, and possibly apprenticeships. It's amazingly easy to network up here.
I love it here. It's cool, it's beautiful, the ocean's very near, as are the mountains. Nothing's too far away. There's coffee EVERYWHERE and so many places to eat. People are liberal and mind their own god damn business. I haven't had anyone give me that "Oh, you poor thing" look when I tell them I'm gay. There are so many people doing their own things here. Living dreams. So many small businesses with lofty goals and ethics. So many artisans and intellectuals. I haven't met nearly as many Just Fucking Dumb people here. It's so much different than Texas. Here, I hear about the meth problem and whatnot, but I'm not Living it the way I did in Wichita Falls. I'm sure this area has problems, but it's not something Everyone is involved in.
I made the right move. I put myself into it fully, and I'm seeing dividends. I'm actually so...comfortable(?) that I'm allowing myself to think of a relationship again. Woofie and I will be getting new comps and memberships to a fitness club soon. We've been wanting to start working out since before we got here, but there've been too many other things that came first. I'd like to find one more person we can count on to come with us, because though we could do it on our own, I just think it'd be more fun if we had a triple-threat combo goin at the gym. :P
I still need to rethink everything, make sure my head's on straight and my goals are still clear, but the way things are clicking along...it's looking reeeeally good. Yes, I AM damn proud of what woofie and I have accomplished.
Listen, if there are any furs up here that are interested, please don't hesitate to drop woofie (bluemoonwolf85 on aim) or I (Jakineko Kimen on aim) a line. we're friendly and we're not dramallamas. However, we Are in desperate need of other people to hang out with cause it's getting to be way to brotherly around here.
Pr, steven, bunny, I miss the bejesus out of you guys. Cody, should you ever read this, I do miss you. Rhia and Blake, I miss you guys, I wish I'd seen you before I left. Nicole, you have to visit. Call me. I miss and love you guys, and my door's always open should you find yourself in Washington.
How's that for an update?:) Ljcuts are for pussies. ~_^
