Yeah... that's an inside joke... only a few people would get it... i just couldn't think of a better title given the thoughts that are floating around in my head right now.
I spent another two fun filled days with Sylvie and Danny. I love going to their place on my days off... we always have such a good time. Of course, spending time there makes me want to take a trip to Florida even more. The longer I wait, though, the better I know it will be. There's something to be said for anticipation... when it has time to build until it's ready to explode (no pun intended). Yes, October is going to be oh so much fun! The problem with waiting is... the waiting part! Of course, somehow I know that it will be worth it, I just want October to get here soon.
I've been trying to practice my guitar more. Once I get moved to Florida permanently, I'll be able to get one on one lessons, which will help a lot. Maybe I'll finally get some lessons on darkroom developing, too! And I KNOW that will be fun!
This journal got completely off track... guess I know where my mind is today... hmmm, oh well, I'm enjoying myself too much to worry about thinking of something else!

ghostly encounters
I have finally met the office ghost! The other night, I was working alone and noticed that the mouse pointer on the computer screen was moving. Not just wiggling, but moving. Then I looked down, and the mouse itself was moving. I reached out to touch it, and I felt something brush against my arm! It was so cool! I wish that I'd had my voice recorder or my camera there that night, maybe I could have gotten a pic or an EVP. (yeah, I watch way too much Ghost Hunters!)
My book is moving along nicely. Chapter 6 is done, and 7 is halfway there. I'm really excited about this one, hopefully I'll get it finished soon and see what can be done about getting it published!
I'm going to spend a day or two at my cousin's house. I usually do that on my days off work, it's my place to just relax and have a good time. But I won't be able to post anything in here until I get back home. (not that anyone's reading this anyway, but I like to pretend. let me have my delusions, ok?)

sheer exhaustion
I worked my normal shift until 8am t his morning, but instead of going home and going to bed, I had to stay for a meeting. Now, the meeting didn't start until 10:30, but I knew that if I went home to get breakfast, I would be entirely too tempted to lay down and fall asleep. So I opted for breakfast to go, and staying at the office for an extra two hours... Then the "30 minute" meeting lasted for an hour and a half. So it was 12:30 by the time I got home. Which of course means that I slept until almost nine o'clock, waking up just in time to get ready for work all over again. The entire day was ruined! Thank goddess I have two days off after tonight! I'll need them to recover...
Being shorthanded at work soon is going to put a damper on my hopes of taking time to go to Wolvenwold at some point this summer. The Beltaine celebration is in two weeks, so I know I can't go to that one. And the June gathering the same weekend as the Civil War thing in Kingston, which is when they said "no days off for anyone!" Apparently they think there's going to be a huge need for dispatchers that weekend. So there goes June. The only other gathering this year that I know of is in october. Which, of course, is when I was going to try and take my personal days to go see Duane. (Florida in October is supposed to be really nice!) And I doubt that I can get two sets of personal days in the same month... I guess I'll just have to see how things go. As it stands right now, a trip to FL definitely outweighs a trip to south MO to Wolvenwold, as much fun as that would be. Florida is more important :) and will be fun, too!
well, time to get ready for work... again...

Space Truckin'
Don't mind the title... I've been listening to a lot of Deep Purple today!
Have you even been in that place of being in love with someone, but you're not sure you should, for whatever reason... maybe situation or timing... But no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that it's not a good idea to fall head over heels, you're heart doesn't seem to listen and before you know it, you're already there. It's that strange mix of being frustrated and excited all at the same time. You get the fun butterflies in your stomach along with the knots because what if they don't feel the same? Love is awkward and tedious, and people need to figure out a way to fix that! It really aggravates me when people have this ideal image of love in their minds, as if it once you acheive it, nothing can hurt you. I have learned the hard way that love isn't perfect, love doesn't last forever, and love has nothing to do with marriage! Marriage is over rated and pointless. What good does a piece of paper do to keep someone for cheating or being abusive? Then to leave that person, you have to go through all kinds of red tape and expensive paperwork. That fancy piece of paper doesn't mean that a person will be faithful to you, it doesn't symbolize commitment! To me, it would mean more for a person to make a commitment to be faithful and to NOT have the legal obligation, but to stick with it because they want to. That would be a true show of love. As far as I'm concerned, at least at this point in my life, I simply want someone who cares about me, will be faithful, and won't fuck things up by lying! Unfortunately, that's not so easy to find! I'm starting to think I might have, but I'm holding my cards close to me on this one for now... we'll see what the future brings.
on to another subject... I'm working alone tonight, which will be interesting now that they've taken away our internet for the next three months. I don't know how I'm going to keep myself awake tonight...
My novel is starting to really pick up! I've almost finished chapter six, and even though I chose not to outline this one, I'm starting to get the end of the story in my mind. Working without an outline was a scary prospect, but it seems to be the first time that I've been able to just keep writing and not give up! Letting the story carry me away and allowing the plot to unfold however it wants is really working for me. Maybe this will be the novel that gets published!
Well, I'm off to scavenge for food...

First post
I've never really used a blog before... Guess I'm more old fashioned. I always used a real paper journal! But with everything moving to computers, I figured that I might as well keep up with the times and move to a blog.
I'm going to get the divorce papers paid for and hopefully filed soon. Brian seems to be handling things pretty well, I just hope it stays that way. After everything we went through, I just want this to go easy and be settled soon.
Work is... work. Things are changing again, and it's only my third month on the job. Office politics can really ruin the atmosphere in the work place, and I'm really sick of it. Why is it so hard to find a job that pays decently, treats its employees fairly, and is enjoyable? That shouldn't be so difficult! The closest I came to that was Connextions, although I enjoyed that because of the people I worked with, one in particular.
Oh well... life if pretty good at the moment. Things can always get better, but for now, they're not too bad!
