Thinking maybe it's time for another blog post, it's been a while, have been very busy resettling into the house. That's right folks, living in a nice 4 bedroom house, have a very cool housemate, Vanessa, Mike the other roommate just moved out and I've going to take over his room, the upstairs loft, it's two rooms, a bedroom with a half bath, and another room with built in shelf and storage space, bookshelves built into the opposite sides of the stairs as you come up them, and enought room for my computer desk. We've got a nice garden, backyard, big kitchen and garage. The house is being remolded and is set to be sold sometime next summer, so I should have a good year here, time enought to get some debts paid down, and enjoy the niceties of house living. Feeling a bit up in the air about a lot of aspects of my life, so much has changed this here and I'm anxious to get to a point of some stability, which I'm sure once I'm settled here will happen. I've got plans and I'm trying to focus on making them happen, going back to school in the Fall, brewing beer over the summer, and getting out and going some hiking and camping, maybe even finding myself eventualy is some sort of stable relationship. Not sure how any of this is going to happen, so I am trying to focus myself on the day to day week to week goals. Trying to be more accepting of myself and my faults and not let myself get caught up in some of the expectation/disappointment cycles that I dealt with the last few years. My main hobbies at the moment has been Photography, would very much like to get back into watching movies and roleplaying, reading and drawing. Looking forward to playing more Twilight Imperium, and have a couple of photoblogs that I want to get posted for example: Twilight Gaming. A big goal for me also will be to get my financial situation more stable, establish a budget, also looking for other employment, will be putting in a few applications this week, places like the library and post office, places with less hours and more pay. I'm making a lot of friends these days, and hope that I can get to a point where I have some really close friends again, my closest friends right now would be Dan and Vanessa, and the house. Shorty, Vanessa's cat has been at times less then friendly towards Butterum, I woke up Sunday morning hearing them hissing and hollering...Shorty had chased Butterrum into the Attic, where she managed to hide under some floorboards, another reason I want to get upstairs into the loft, so Butterrum will have her own space, and won't antagonize Shorty by being so cute. I totally freaked that Sunday was sure Butterrum was being murderized by Shorty and there was nothing I could do about it, I managed to crawl back behind some air vents just enought so see Shorty camping out by the floorboards where BR had managed to get out of reach. I tried everything from yelling at the cat to pleading to the animal, to no avail. Butterrum came out unscathed, fortunately. Have to say, what that cat has in cuteness she lacks in the animal equivilant to common sense, I'm sure the fight started because she was eating the other cat's food, totally oblivious to what was Shorty's territory. At this point, I am ready to get a puppy, maybe a lab or lab mix, a male and I want to name him Idris. It's an idea, not ready to get rid of the cat....well maybe if I found someone who would give her more attention, she would be a good cat for someone who had more time to give all the attention she wants.

Dog's are a LOT more work than cats :( Congrats on getting into a house! You've been working at finding a new place for awhile now.

Personally, I hate the initial move. It takes SO much work, but after you're settled in and can finally relax, it's totally worth it. Try applying at Symantec. Big $$ there, talk to Adrian

Yeah I'm moving into the upstairs loft, don't remember if I mentioned that, it's two rooms, with built in shelf drawer space, and book selves built into the stairs. So still not done with the settling in, and need to get a wifi card so I can get my computer setup upstairs. Symantec, yeah good idea, I'm putting a few apps in here soon, the Downtown Library for one, I would love to get on there. I'll keep Symantec in mind, I know it would be good money, and I could use the challenge
