What Is Best In (Your) Life?

[Seil]

So I thought about making a radical departure from the Childhood thread, but I thought that that might be a little insensitive. So I thought in lieu of making light of heavy, we should talk about what's good right now. What's good right now is that I'm healing pretty rapidly.

Well, last Tuesday I fell off my bike and hurt my knee and my hand pretty badly. I've been wearing a cast of sorts on both for about a week, and both look like they should heal afore me family reunion on Friday. I have a family reunion on Friday, and I'm gonna see my cousins, my aunts, my uncle and my grandmum on me dads side. My adopted cousins, Quinn and Kolbie, are - I think - 7 and 5, respctively. They are totally rad little people, and messing around with them and me family for a bit is going to be exactly what I need after being pretty depressed for the last few months.

I start school in September, and (as it's better than the alternitive) I'm optimistic. I know that this year I'm going to go at it with a strong work ethic, and there's probably going to be a cute girl or guy in one of my classes, so that's a plus. If I pass this year, (my courses run from September to December_ I'll have all the pre-req's to get into nursing, as well as starting to take some pretty neat sounding courses.

I have good beer and strong smokes tonight. I have a book of poetry. I'm getting more hours at work because my boss is putting more trust in me. (He's letting me close the store in the evenings.) I'm in the midst of making drinking plans with a pretty girl. I've got a concert to head to week after next. (Yes, I am a lucky bastard.)

Not much I CAN say except that I finally have a stable internet connection again and hoping it stays. Oh and that I'm also expecting to move up to Canada within a year's time. I have all the stuff you have tonight except the beer, but I do have Coke. That's good enough, right? All it's missing is the rum. Oh, I do guess there's the Jaeger in the freezer, but I only shoot from it on special occasions. Lesson learned last time I tried to drink it straight from the bottle.

I just had orientation for a job about twelve hours ago. Aside from sweating a bunch of small things that I know don't matter (And losing sleep as a result), I'm finally coming out of a really bad funk and am enjoying life again for the first time in years.

[Ecks]

Yeah, Jaeger's not really a "drink it straight" kind of liquor.

I... I dunno. What's good right now is that I have a whole mess of people out there who care about me who want to help her and I get through this right now. She hasn't unfriended me or any of my family yet (not like she's had time) and from what I understand, she even talked to some of my family before actually deciding on the breakup. I hope she can stay friends with them. I'm staying friends with hers, for sure, they are the coolest people I've ever met, and they've taught me so much about how to live.

Then I have you guys. You've given me a lot of advice, a lot of things to think about, and whenever I stray outside General I can usually find a thread about something funny or at the very least very strange to help me take my mind off of things.

I'm also pretty glad I have stable internet... and that I still have games. Even though it's those two things that lost me the relationship in the first place... it was also the two things that initially helped us bond. When we were apart, we could chat on facebook, and when we were together I'd sit her down to play some Pokemon with me.

I really hope she continues to play games. I'd hate for her to just put them down forever.

And finally... I'm glad I started seeing her in the first place. My life might have gone a vastly different route... and while it can be said that I might have made better choices had she and I not continued to see each other earlier on... those choices made me into the person I am today. Whether or not I am a whole and healthy individual because of that is irrelevant, because there are lessons about life and love that I would never have gotten otherwise, and I would never EVER dream of regretting anything other than my failure.

God damn you Oster I was going to post that video and everything!

OT; I may soon have a job again, an actual job with actual pay and shit, and the first year will be back in college which is like another really easier year but I'll get payed for it this time. If I don't get the job then I'm still back in college for a year, which is also easy but I don't get payed for that.

Right now though I get to just sit and chill at home playing Minecraft and reading the Horus Heresy all day. My life owns.

I live in a small but cosy appartment with my boyfriend who is one of the best people I've met in my entire life. I might still be looking for a job, but in the meantime I teach to a few students privately to at least earn a little money. When I'm not playing music, I make art that reflects more of my geek/gamer side. I'm loosing weight gradually and working out every day, so I feel good and healthy. And I'm leaving on a boat cruise in about 7 months to work in what I love, while traveling. For the meantime, I'm a teacher and a housewife. Not too bad.

I shall arrive in Germany September 1st. I am rather pleased right now.

[pochercoaster]

The interview for my fiance visa is in 46 hours (as I already posted about in the public announcement thread). I'm simultaneously overjoyed and have butterflies in my stomach. If I'm approved it finally means all this long distance crap will come to an end after years of waiting. Plus I'm getting away from the armpit of Ontario which I'm also looking forward to very much.

There are few things in my life that I've looked forward to as much as this.

[Fenris]

I go back to school tomorrow.

So that's neat.

[Seil]

I rode my bike today!

[Aldurin]

Bacon.

[Osterbaum]

I'm going to Spain for a year. Yay!

[Bells]

My Dick. No seriously... it's quite impressive and i'm happy with it's results for this quarter.








.... Ok, i couldn't help it, so let me try to ban-dodge this a little bit...

So, i'm still single. But i have money in the bank, Friends, family, a good hobby, i'm starting some serious savings for the future. So those are all pretty great things right now i would say

My computer is finally working again after a month of being broken.

I am finishing up an 11 month marathon of schooling which will enable me to do what I love as a career even more than I do now, making more money and helping more people.

The skillset for this career: I'm really fucking good at it.

I have good beer too, and vodka, and rum.

I live in a nice apartment in a nice part of town with my sisters who I get along with and laugh with.

I have a wonderful and supportive boyfriend who loves me just as much as I love him.

[Magus]

Probably gonna put the Thunderbird on the road again.
