Wow...Just wow.
I've been away for a lifetime and a half I know. Having no internet and precious little money will do that to you. I do so miss writing in my LJ and chatting on AIM like I used to back in the day. Reading through my old entries, they feel like they were written by someone else entirely...a much funnier Flynn. I miss that guy. Things have changed in some ways and stayed all too similar in others. Donna and I have been together for a year and 32 days with no sign of stopping. Our relationship is going strong despite the predictions of nearly every single member of my family. I still live with my sister, Kristen, although I rarely see her anymore becaaaauuse...I'm working at Jimmy Johns' again. That's right, Jimmy Johns'. After a short stint working in a Wal-Mart Distribution Center(don't ask), I returned to the job I'm most associated with. This time as an in-shopper. And due to the fact that Drew Riley and myself are the senior members of the staff, I get a lot more respect than I used to. I know how to do just about everything and I may be getting a job as a PIC soon(person-in-charge). I work 6 days a week and am pulling in 8 dollars an hour. All of this is because I have a lot...A LOT of money to pay to people. Thousands... Yeesh. But anyway, I'm finished with the boring "The Story So Far" segment so I'll get on to the fun part. For me at least. I resurrected a quiz from waaaaaaaay back in the day that I'm retaking since it's quite likely the answers have all changed.
