"I'll go forwards, you go backwards, and somewhere, we will meet"

I could probably write a reasonably sized book about the last few days, and all the pain and anger and frustration and love and fire and joy contained therein, but, for the sake of brevity and cutting to the chase, I'll just say this.

I'm currently writing from upstate New York. Theresa and I are back together. The past three days, we've had some of the biggest discussions of our relationship, of my life, and came out of it closer than before. We'restill planning for the biggest move in either of our lives, and mine involves an advancement in maturity and personal responsibility even further beyond the proclamation I made back in August. One that should've happened years ago, in retrospect.

It also involves a critical physical, mental, and emotional parting of ways from my mother that also should've happened years ago.

Both of which, I've very quickly had to evaluate, and begin putting into action. It will take time to see the progress. But I know it's happening. I feel...different. I am different. And I know now how much I stand to lose by betraying these developments.

Professionally, in the last few weeks, I've interviewed the entire main cast of Casino Royale, visited the set of 3 LBS (CBS show), saw 20 minutes of 300, and met Frank Miller as a result. I've also been interviewed for a series of proofreading jobs in New York that would pay reasonably well...to the point where the above move would become a very real happening. just a matter of which job takes the bite first.

As such, I'm not going back to college. At least, not right now. let's see where what I have can take me before wasting more time on nebulous duty work in another classroom.

There are so many specifics I've glossed over there, and maybe sometime, I'll go further.

Right now, my sweetheart is coming home for lunch.

Thanks Angel and Lulu, for the worry. I was wondering if you guys were still out there.
