(LJ) Another Year, Another Post
I'll forego the usual "I'll try to post on LJ more" line, cuz we all know it's BS. :)
Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Long time no bark for most of ya. I was just reading back some of my posts and I've come to realize I haven't really posted anything about my life apart from my thoughts. Let me correct that now!
Things got emotionally unstable for me after scruff_e_coyote and I went our separate ways. We don't bark nearly as much as we used to, though I will always keep him close in my heart. Still will refer to him as "My Yotie", as unfair as that may seem. I was in a rut, and moving to Wisconsin did not help my mental situation. I met some amazing folks (who I've since lost contact with due to the way I left). The short of it, I felt pressured to stay longer than I planned, agreed to stay a little longer, but selfishly left in the very early morning because I wanted to return to a life that was more familiar to me as quickly as possible. Didn't really gove the chance for a proper goodbye, so I'm positive there were hard feelings there.
Back home, I continued to be in a rut...season after season at the IRS (and yes, I am still there) slowly draining what sanity I had left. A year had passed and I met this dog "Wusky". We clicked immediately, the issue is he had a mate. I wasn't looking or wanting ajyone, but he AND his partner were. They wanted a third. Admittedly the idea always intrigued me, but again, I wasn't looking nor had any interest.
At BLFC 2014, a local friend was sort of a buzzkill and being suicidal due to him and his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend having problems. I was thrusts into the middle and was pretty much on suicide watch that con. Made for very unwaggy times, but he lived. Later, that ventured to him reaching for help to which I ended up bringing his family and friends into the equation, because I wasn't gonna handle this myself. He's still alive, though I am being a bad friend and keeping out of it due to the immense mental stress it puts on me.
Back to Wusky...over a short amount of time, he decided he wasn't happy with his current relationship and ended it. He did like me and persued me heavily. More stress on me because I don't move into relationships that fast. In short, I caved and was sort of forced into one. Through the rest of 2014, there was much drama and stress. At FC 2015 we had a huge argument and again at BLFC. He didn't attend that one but the results made him decide to move back home to Oklahoma with his family. He lasted 2 months before coming back to me...and yes, I did welcome him back. There are little arguments here and there, but nothing like it was early on. I am, for the most part, happy. We all could use self improving, and I am no exception, but I'm happy.
In Fall 2014, I decided I hated being in the rut I trapped myself in. I went back to college after 10 years and I am still attending, working on my bachelor's in Software Development. I'm currently in my 7th quarter and holding a 3.87 GPA. I should earn my Associates by this winter. I am enjoying it, but it's difficult to learn everything in as much detail as they'd like in that short amount of time. My class started with 40 in the software development program, and we are down to just 4 of us now. There are rumors they may drop the software development bachelor's program and encourage us to move into something else. I'm gonna have to argue with them if that time comes.
My family has been going through rough times. You know, drama and such. It appears I'm the only one who can remain neutral so I get called upon pretty often. I always take my mother's side like a good mama's boy because my siblings still squabble over the stupidest things. I hope thry don't kill her with all the stress. Sometimes I wake up feeling something is wrong, and most times I come to learn I was right.
So we come to now. I had a pretty decent New Years...stayed home with Wusky and our other furry roommate Myrth Horse. It wasn't all wags, for reasons that I keep private out of respect for them. For my birthday, I ended up taking them out to the movies because I'm stupid backwards like that, haha.
Now comes FC 2016 and I am looking forward to this. I need some furry interaction and good (hopefully stress-free) times. Maybe I'll work the energy to update post con, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I miss you folks who I used to regularly see or talk to. Keep in mind I hold all the fond memories close and am thankful for the times we've shared. Dare I hope for continued good times in the future if possible!
For those active on twitter, I can be reached via @TkCoyote and now Telegram is all the rage in terms of messengers. I can be reached there via my phone number if you have it, or @Puppy Tk.
Let's keep in touch, even if it's only once a year through comments here. :) Hoping you have a happier 2016 with friends, loved ones, etc and if allowed, thank you for letting me be a part of that. <3
My apologies if this is badly written, I am typing this using my smartphone. Yay technology!
