I'm Alive!
Man, it's been a long time since I've written on here. It's been so long since I've written on here that my browser doesn't even populate the URL anymore. And, good lord, I clearly need to get out of the tech biz.
So nothing has really been going on in my life lately. Same shit, different day. Work has been slammed lately. Today was the first time in forever we had a full admin staff. I never thought I'd say I was happy to have Jim around. So work sucks and all that, but I made the bold move of kinda quitting the other day. Let's be clear here, I kinda quit which is like when I kinda got fired -- you still show up at work the next day. I simply gave them the heads up that I am looking for another position because they always say they want us to give them the heads up. So, heads up! It came right on the tail ends of someone quitting and right before someone got fired, so clearly my timing on such things is improving.
Halloween was last night and, surprisingly enough, I have no grievous injuries to report. I went as my friend's boyfriend Ben. It was an interesting costume. I went to a party where about 7 people knew Ben and about 50 people didn't. Of course Ben flaked on the party. So, for the 7 people who knew him it was the funniest costume ever (ok, let me give you the picture. He's a whitebread, cheese-fed, phish head. With mad love for the Packers. And loud and obnoxious. Trust me, the costume was really funny.) And for everyone else at the party it was sort of "no, no, really I get it. It's funny. You're one of your friends. Hilarious." (You're imagining all that said in a dead pan voice, right?) In any case, I brought TJ to the party and she was the belle of the ball. She went as Captain Retardo, her superhero alterego. It was really cute. She had a little cape and everything. I barely drank and went to bed early - but it paid off. Like I said, no grievous injuries which is certainly better than I've fared the last several years.
Friends remain good. Except for the aren't. I'm beginning to feel like Typhoid Mary - all my friends are dealing with trauma and tragedy and I'm calm in the midst of it all. I don't want to mention any particular circumstances, I'm trying to not call anyone out, but let's just say my buddies need a lot of love right now.
Dan is still hanging around and we are also still good. The honeymoon is definitely coming to an end and we are beginning to do the compromising and work it takes to maintain a real relationship. Which is scary as fuck for me. But we all know I'm crazy about the guy, so it's well worth it.
I've been really into my future lately (I think because it's a good antidote for the present.) I've been studying and preparing for the SATs and reading more scholarly books. I've also come to the realization that I either need to get television, publishing or advertising experience before grad school. Hence, my kinda quitting at work.
So that's been my life lately. How about you?

My life is school and scheduling interviews. Lots of them. I'm overwhelmed. I'm tired. But, as of 30 minutes ago, I am off bond. I can now legally leave the state. Ecstatic.
