Tempus Fugit

Almost 4 years since my last post. Admittedly, I started blogging on Myspace and kind of forgot about this one. But I think I shall take up the gauntlet once again. It's fun to bitch my little fits to the whole world wide web. :)

Update for anyone who cares and doesn't know me IRL:

Thanksgiving 2007 I was hit by a car and had both my legs broken as well as my left arm and my right hand. I am mostly better now due to a bit of metal in some strategic places, and a way too small amount of physical therapy. Shortly there after, my best friend hooked up with the girl I was(stupidly) in love with. At which point I basically dumped them both. Selfish? Maybe a little, but I really didn't want to be involved with that affair anyhow. About 3 month later they broke up and then 4 months after that my best friend and I started to hang again, all's forgiven. I do not associate with the girl anymore. Partly cause I cannot separate out those feelings. And partly cause in my deepest heart I know she's a born loser. One good thing came of the whole mess, I got back in touch with my friend Julie from high school. We've bonded quite a lot(mostly due to her going through a messy divorce at the same time I was dealing with my little drama), and I can consider her a very close friend now.

Fast forward to 2009. Terrible year, but I have gotten myself into some better spirits. I have also gotten my computer skills into much better shape. But 2009 is the year my friend Mikey died all too abruptly of a heart attack at the, far too young, age of 48. He was one of the most remarkable people I have ever known in my life. I miss him terribly. In fact, the anniversary of his death is Thursday....

Oh, almost forgot to say. In August 2009, my sister gave me a cat as a very belated birthday present. Her(the cat's, not my sister's) name is Isobel. After the Bjork song, which I love. She is adorable and finicky and a little princess. And I love her. :)

Anyhow, 2009 finally closed out and now we are into 2010 and things are looking up. I have a new diet and I am making a real effort to get myself exercising every day as I should be. In a few weeks I will be making a road trip down to Texas and then to Florida to visit some friends. The first I have been able to leave the state for over 4 years. And boy do I need it. On another note. My best friend, mentioned earlier, is off in Alaska working at a lodge restaurant as a manager. Not all that amazing of a job(according to him), but it affords him a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy a place that most of us will never be able to even get to. Much less get the full flavor of it should we get the chance to visit. And so far he is having a blast! I do miss my friend, but I wouldn't deny him this experience for all the tea in China.

Anyhow, this is my life up to date. Well, at least the highlights....Er, that I am willing to talk about. ;)
