Just in case I were to miss the annual update.
Did my alien mood emoticons disappear? I used to get such an insane rush of nostalgia whenever I saw those.
Oh no, I wandered back a few posts, they're still there.
Umm... I guess this is akin to posting into the void. I guess unless someone gets any sort of alert when I do this, absolutely nobody will read it. It doesn't exist anymore. I'm thrusting opinions into empty space.
The friends feed is dead empty. =\
But hey, there's always that chance that some random so and so might walk in and say 'Boy howdy, what ever did that Adam fellow get into. Or was his name Jimi? We always called him that for some reason. Oh who knows?'
So I don't live in Philly anymore. That's first and foremost (and strangest). I'm still nearby. But I've become suburban.
I haven't touched an instrument in a long time. I continue to not do so, I'm not sure if it's out of guilt for getting out of practice or disinterest due to millions of other reasons.
I haven't... Sat at this computer in a long time. For the past 6 or 7 years, this PC (and its iterations) have been where I go, regardless of day, time, or mood. But it's off in an 'office' room (that is mostly used as a cat safe zone for those with allergies) and it sits up here unused except for these couple odd random nights. I'm sure my hard drives could use a bit of tlc, and my internet presence absolutely needs to be updated... But... I mean, why bother? I guess.
I don't really do social media anymore. I got sick of Facebook invading my personal space, and I'm only tolerating Amazon and Google since they provide a worthwhile service. And just about everything else was tracking garbage.
I have a cat. I never envisioned myself a cat dad, but here I am.
My programming skills are top notch. I've been learning a lot of techniques that make life easier and more or less make everything more powerful and easy. So at least not everything is dreary and stormclouds. =)
I've been with Jen for almost two years now. It was a relationship that escalated unfortunately quickly, but I'm quite happy with it.
I've sort of reached a calm with things. I'm afraid is has made me a bit blazé or dull at times, but in exchange I have a fantastic peace of mind. Hopefully that doesn't make me boring? *shrug*
Umm... I miss a lot of things. Maybe I miss the idea of them more than missing them. Or maybe the simplicity that is often fondly overlooked when one puts on nostalgia blinders. Either way I have longings and no real outlet for them aside from the various dives into video game history that I take ever so often. Is that just a thing I'm supposed to get used to? Or get over, maybe?
Other than that, I don't think things have been bad. I'm in danger of falling into a routine, but I suppose that just kinda happens after a while. You do as much as you can so often that nothing becomes a new things to do. Or something.
I guess maybe that's the point of social interaction? Bring other people into a circle, they'll always wow and amaze you and whatever.
Anyways. Thank you for reading. I do appreciate it. =)
