I haven't checked into LJ for months (Depressionville), so imagine my surprise when I came to the Update page and it asked me if I wanted to restore a draft. Why, of course I do! What could I possibly have been writing last, and why did I walk away from it? Was it something important? Stunning? Embarrassing? Funny? Well, here is my restored draft, in its entirety:
"A few weeks ago, "
So...that was my letdown for the morning.
I have not updated my Journal here in 23 weeks, and that is, quite frankly, unacceptable. It is so sad for me to see all of my Ace Attorney icons that I worked so hard to acquire listed as "Inactive". I almost want to pay for LJ just for access to them again in case I do use it more often.
Oh, I like the way the Tags work now, opening up that drag-down menu. Very nice.
Anyway, I suppose the biggest news here is that I have been engaged for about 2-and-a-half weeks now. I proposed to Amanda three Mondays ago. It's weird--A few minutes before I did it, I got really nervous. Why is that weird? She knew it was coming; she even knew that I had a ring in my possession. Must just be natural to get nervous right before doing it.
Also, I got a job offer yesterday, so that's pretty sweet. I'm keeping it pretty hush-hush at the moment from my job, but I think I'm going to try to stay on there part-time so I can save up some spare money for the wedding. We are looking to having a destination wedding in the Bahamas! Neither of us want to have a huge wedding; she has a lot of friends and family that she doesn't necessarily all want to be there, and I don't have more than 3 dozen people I'd even bother inviting. So...Bahamas wedding, with maybe just 20-30 total guests. We figure by the time you get done feeding and getting drinks to well over 100 people, you're spending almost as much as you would traveling. But we shall see.
Anyway, my job offer is for a Caseworker position. It's not my dream or anything, but it's a full-time, mostly steady hours, and is pretty important. It will give me a glorious sense of self-righteousness. Huzzah!
Nothing much else for now, but hopefully I will be back soon. Within 23 weeks, at least.
