| Alright...
So I just started watching The Dresden Files.
I'm so friggin' hooked on this series! I've only seen the first two episodes, but I'm watching it straight through. I'm a huge fan already.

| Alright. Brian has pretty much set a standard in journal entries over there...
*glares*
I don't think I'm going to be able to top that right now, since I...well, don't have that much news.
I'll be getting a promotion at Taco Bell fairly shortly, it seems. I don't think it'll be the promotion I was gunning for, since I found out yesterday or the day before that my brother Aaron is going to take the management position he at first turned down, which is why it was offered to me.
In light of this, I'll be taking his position as a "Team Trainer" which basically means an eighty cent pay raise and having to train -ALL- the new people all kinds of wonderful stuff!
If you don't move up in status in the store, you won't be getting a raise this year either, since our owner (We're franchise) has decided he can't afford.
It takes a -LOT- of money to keep a private jet off the ground after all. Not to mention the four cars and three huge homes. No...I'm not exaggerating.
Also, the divorce will be going through this year, I just have to figure out whether to do it in Michigan or Florida.
Azure, if you ever -read- this thing I call a journal, get back to me, since you haven't seemed to do so at all.
Anyhow, life is good for the most part, and I have little enough to complain about.
Since July of last year I've lost almost forty pounds, I've started exercising a lot more, and I've cut back my smoking habits drastically. While I was smoking one pack or more a day, I've cut down to six individual cigarettes or less.
I've also started learning the basics of parkour and free-running. Lemme tell ya something...that shit is -HARD-! Maybe in time I'll be good enough to actually feel good about filming it and putting it on the web for you guys to see. Maybe.
Dance Dance Revolution has become a part of my life again, since it's a nice fun game to help you keep your weight down and whatnot. Ha! Screw you WiiFit! You has nussing on da DDR!
So all you people have fun. Okay? Love you buh-bai!

| I HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE INTERWEEEEEEEEBS!
| | |
| Lease signing tomorrow. Moving into the apartment on the 2nd! Will have internet within a week of moving in. (So I'm told) Will be back FULL FORCE! | | |
| Hm.
I'm writing in this much sooner than I thought I would do so after everything hit the fan like the proverbial shit pie.
I've been thinking a lot lately, about many different things.
I've been thinking of the novel I started last year and couldn't finish.
I've been thinking of the relationship that ended this year.
I've been thinking of the fact that I nearly ended my life immediately afterward.
Needless to say, it seems the past year or so has been a great deal of endings and very few beginnings.
Brian - Thank you for standing by me in thick and in thin. Not knowing what I was thinking or even doing, yet making sure that I always had somebody to go to if I needed it. I'll pay you back. For -EVERYTHING- that you've done for me.
Azure - You won't be reading this, and that's fine, but thanks for leaving. That's not sarcasm. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that we were both miserable and just too damned proud to admit it. The fact that we're no longer talking doesn't even really bother me as much as I thought it would. Good luck in life, and I hope the remainder of it treats you well.
Everybody else - Many of you supported, comforted, and aided me in ways that I don't think that I can ever repay. I'll be there in whatever manner that I am able to do so, for all of you. There are times where I may be able to do very little, but I promise I will do everything that I can.
Now that I have all of that written out and no longer in my head...
Beginnings:
New friends.
New Experiences.
New job.
New ideas.
One of the things that I really wanted to address is the fact that I've been thinking over my novel that I started during NaNoWriMo last year. I'm changing what I have, drastically enough that anybody with the old "manuscript" won't really see the connection. Some things I will be addressing:
The group will actually be a privatised military organisation now.
Privatisation will be one of the main points of this, at least, book.
They will no longer be "Mechs" in the sense one would think of. (i.e. Macross, Gundam, etc...)
Instead, the suits will be more akin to bodysuits. (i.e. Bubblegum Crisis)
The reason for this is that I think I can work with this a little more smoothly and thus tell the story I wish to.
The main character, Tandem, will still be Lesbian/Bi-sexual.
Her bunkmate, Pandora, will still be Lesbian. I am thinking of making this both a "convenience" relationship as well as a "preference".
There will be plenty of other surprises in store. (I hope.)
I do not have regular enough access, at current, to the internet that I will be participating in NaNoWriMo this year. At least not in the public manner. I very well may do so in the private of my own home at my own pace.
That is just one of many things that I have been thinking about in my time away.
I've been going to bars with friends quite a bit more often now. Something I rarely, if ever, did before moving back to Michigan. I have also been drunk more times since I've been back than all the other times in my life together. I'm not going out and getting stupid drunk, but I do like to go and have a drink with friends more often than I used to.
There isn't much to talk about right now. I'm definitely in a transitional period at the moment. I intend to do something with it while I'm able to do so.
I have a job, but I'm currently laid-off while they remodel the store I'm working at. I'm hoping to go back to work sometime after next Tuesday. I'm living rent free where I'm currently at, so 95% of my income is being saved so that I can get my own place when the "lease" is up where I'm at. That could be anywhere from thirty days to four months.
Nothing is set in concrete yet, but when I get my new place I'll have the internet. Whether I have a roommate or not is yet to be determined.
Thank you all, again.
Love,
Josh
