You Are A Romantic Realist

You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.
And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...
But you'd never admit it to your friends!
Are You Romantic or Realistic?

Your Social Anxiety Level: 4%

You have low social anxiety.
You don't have any social anxiety. In fact, you love being social.
You're well adjusted and likely quite outgoing. Your social skills put others at ease.
Are You Socially Anxious?

so, i suppose something other than blogthings would be nice for a change, eh?

well, too bad, SUCKAS!

but no, really, i'm still alive and well.
and very much aware of how much i've changed lately, even without every other "old acquaintance" of mine pointing it out, be they family or friend.

yes, joshcox now is much different than joshcox a year ago, or even a few months ago even. that crazy, fun-loving sprite still exists for the most part, only now he has drink-drank-drunk from the Fountain of Reality and is all practical and shit. being in your mid-20's and still having no idea where you are going or any real credentials to get you there isn't always fun. going to jail only makes one realize that OH SO MUCH MORE.

i am all responsible and job-having, which i actually enjoy and am good at and never late for and whatnot, and while it isn't anything real it is still something that i enjoy and can support myself at and doesn't really even seem like work at all, so i ain't complainin'.

i am so disgustingly independent at this point, as far as from my parents and their money, that it makes me want to shout from the rooftops that i don't need co-signers anymore, whether it be for housing or transportation.

i am enjoying my new car, which is VERY practical, not only in the here-and-now, and not only for the next 10 years/100,000 miles, but also because it shores-up the only real weak spot in my credit score, ensuring that if i decide to actually make a MAJOR purchase in the next decade that i'll be golden. also, it has a 5-speed and i am absolutely loving having a stick-shift again.

i am, seemingly despite all logic and many bets to the contrary, still in a monogamous relationship with a great woman (at least until she decides to dump me), who to further confuse my reality has actually met my family and not run screaming to somewhere as far away from "the mountain" as she can get. and of course my family loves her, not that she's not great in her own right, but also because i have finally shown signs of "settling down"/DEFINITE heterosexuality/potential grand-chillin's and all that nonsense.

long story short, i'm not terribly lazy anymore, i don't drink as much and only really miss it for the social aspects, i don't use drugs anymore, and yadda-yadda-yadda better person.

who knew that joshcox could be a better person?

and while it still feels awkward at times, i try not to think about it too much, lest my mind is completely BLOWN by trying to comprehend where myself will be at in another year, in so many shapes/forms/fashions.

I LOVE CHATTANOOGA.
thank all you guys so much.
