*tap tap tap* is this thing on?

Guess what I did?  I just dug up my old journal that I haven't written in in THREE YEARS.  I've spent time going back and reading my old journal entries and it really seems like a completely different person wrote them.  My future plans are no longer the same, my life is no longer the same, I am no longer the same.  It's funny what life will throw you.

I think I talked to a few people after August 2005, so a few of you know I lost my house to Katrina.  Three years later the house is now officially mine and I'm STILL putting it together.  I'm on the back stretch now so not too much longer.  It's funny to think about everyone else in the country going on as usual and you really don't think about the fact that people are still piecing things together.  Hell even we go on as usual and don't realize that everyone else thinks we live in a pretty effed up situation.  It's normal now three years later.

What have you all missed??  Hmm...Clint and I are obviously no more.  A few of you who talked to me personally knew that.  Everyone else completely missed another long term relationship.  We lived together (in sin, yes!) for a year and a half.  Together two something years.  And then he gets another girlfriend on the side.  Can we say Buh-bye?  I asked hiim to move out the day after  Christmas.  Talk about a bummer holiday.  Things were rough for a while, but are looking up now.  I've even been on a few dates.

Oh, and when I left I was finishing up a degree in Sociology.  Well I finished the degree, did my internship with the local authorities, and absolutely fell in love with law enforcement.  I decided not to go for a Master's degree yet, and applied for jobs straight out of college.  I've been an official member of the Boys in Blue for nearly two years now.  Can you believe that?!  No one I went to high school with can, that's for sure.  I love my job.  It is stressfull, time consuming, and hell on relationships, but I have coworkers who are more like my family than my real family is and we have a great time kicking ass at work.

Enough for now.  If any of you fine people actually remember who the hell I am, holler back!
