Goal status 110412
Looks like the last time I did a status update, it was June. I feel I ought to say something before it's June again.
WIFE: Not sure how this is going. Talking to someone online, but I'm trying to take things slow and not let my emotions get away with me. Only been talking a few days, so I don't want to make any assumptions at this point.
FRIENDS: Haven't heard from that guy in a long time. But I'm talking to someone online, and we have a lot in common. I think we're going to be great friends. I dearly hope that the romantic potential goes one way or the other very clearly. I don't want to have a repeat of what happened with that sweet girl from up North who was such a close match we couldn't be just friends. I really need more friends in my life, so I'm glad to have found this one. Our messages back and forth flow easily, and we enjoy each other's sense of humor.
CAREER: Hmm... not sure what falls in this category and what doesn't. I put in an application for a job yesterday, and someone who works there thinks I have a great shot at it. But that's a job. A job I might stay in for years and years, but a job rather than a career. I've been spending my time, lately, writing code for a SQL-based distributed research assistant for writers. It may have some value for others, but I'm designing it for writers. I've also been messing around with sculpture in papier mache. Not sure whether either of those will lead to anything.
WRITING: I haven't written any fiction in a while. I've been reading voraciously and writing a little bit of non-fiction (still looking for singles to interview about that book on ministries), but mostly, I've been working on code.
So, that's the news from Okaloosa County.
