Ooooh! My mood theme has mysteriously returned after being all wonky for a month! Things are looking up!

No updates for, oh, 5 months. I'm probably going to lj hell. Oh well, yawn, not feeling too guilty right now.

Anyway, to sum up the last 5 months -- I ended up really hating my job. Living in Newport has been cool, but the job ended up really sucking. I also haven't done so well in terms of building relationships here. I have heard from a lot of ( Read more... )
