Run Baby Run...
Since I haven't updated in literally half a year I guess I should start with an update... though I find it a terrible strain to think of anything prominent enough to mention. It's far easier to lay out a single day or week... the last six months are basically a jumble.
I guess the main development is my social life. I've developed an extremely close friendship with a few people (and since this is a public entry I'll just call them B, C and D) and in so doing I've also become close to most of the people in their circle. B and C also happen to be Karaoke junkies, so we've become something of a fixture at a local bar and have even befriended the karaoke DJ and his lady-person (I mean, hell, we were invited to his kid's birthday party). So I'm feeling really lucky right now.
I "unloaded some baggage" a couple weeks ago. It was rough to do but it needed doing. And, as much as I hate playing the part of the jack ass, I don't regret it one bit. It was the best thing I could have done for myself and I should have done it much sooner.
Work hasn't changed much at all. It's still exhausting most of the time and boring the rest. Dealing with people who think websites and graphics magically appear as if from no where and "what do you mean it'll take you more than two minutes to create imaging for a huge event?" is really wearing thin on me. Yes I do like my job and am grateful for it, but ignorance, no matter where it's found, pisses me off.
Ooo, I've met someone really sweet (we'll call her E). She totally hit on me... weird! I met her at karaoke so yeehaw karaoke! But it's all still very very new so we'll just see what happens. We all know me and relationships is the equivalent of oil and water... I just don't do relationships. So, yes, we'll see. If nothing else it will have been a momentary ego boost... and my beaten ego always benefits from a boost.
Okay, that's enough for now...
Anyway, I am back. One of the reasons for my return is that I need an excuse to write again. I lost my book. 150+ pages lost to the land of computer crashes and software glitches. And in a twist of bad luck when they were attempting to extract the data from my semi-fried hard drive some type of surge finished the bloody thing off. I SWEAR I had it backed up... but, no. The extensive search has proven futile. I found the first page, but nothing more. ANYWAY, ever since then I've had writer's block. I'd been working on that book for a little less than a year. I was more than half done. That was my baby and now my baby's gone. But it's time to move on... so I return, and I will write no matter how putrid the crap.
And with that I wish you adieu...
(PS... as was always the case, I do my best to read everything you all write because I do care very much, but I cannot guarantee consistent replies. Please don't hold this against me. When I have the time or when I have very strong feelings about a topic I will write. Just please know that I am always here for you if you need me.)
