Just pokin' my head out for a sec...
Hey guys, I haven't been around these parts much lately and I apologize. I've been getting a few LJ nudges and part of me really wants to come back, but I find that I just don't have enough time in my day... work's really busy so I can't squeeze a lot of time from that, and when I get home the last thing I want to do is spend several hours more on my computer. So yeah, it's not that I don't wanna hang out with all of you, it's just that life's pressures are building up and something has to give somewhere.
So a little recap. What's gone on since we last talked? Well I broke my hand taking a mountaineering course. My first ever broken bone and it kept me in a cast for 6 weeks. Pretty much ruined my paddling season and threw the rest of my summer's plans off but I tried to keep a fairly positive outlook on things (with moderate success). I've gone on some amazing hikes, and I went skydiving for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Wow, was that ever fun! Oh, and a friend introduced my to single-track cross-country mountain biking. Steep hills, narrow trails, and roots and rocks jutting out everywhere. Awesome! I bought an absolutely amazing bike (cost WAY more than was sensible, even though I managed to get it half price) and I think I've become infatuated with it. :)
I don't know if you remember all the way back to mid-February, but I won a best chest contest at the Pumpjack pub. Well, because of that I'm gonna appear in their charity calendar this year and I just had my very first photo shoot. I've posted my favourite shots on my Facebook account:
clicky clicky!
So yeah, I probably still won't be on here too much. Maybe a little read here, maybe a little comment there, but unless there's a huge slump at work that leaves way too much time on my hands, I probably won't be able to devote enough time to LJ to make it worthwhile. But hey, if you're on Facebook, use that photo gallery to find my account and say hi. It'd be great to stay in touch.
