a LOT has happened in 6 months. i dont really think theres anything worth highlighting because there would be too much explanation involved.
aaanyway.... im happy and healthy. michael has a new job. the 'kids' are great. we have roommates. its good and sucks at the same time. we have a killer 2bd apartment where we are ALLOWED to have the animals. wickett still goes to work with me every day at doggy daycare. all else is generally okay. i miss you all

quick update: i have a new niece! ^_^ shes 15.5", 3 lbs. were going to see her tonight after work.
in other news: ive been finding out *gasp* even more about myself. ive been doing a lot of thinking, and a lot of feeling. ive this ridiculously long piece of writing... reflections, i guess. you know "in retrospect" (sp?).... im kind of the coolest jack ass youll ever meet. and one of the most difficult to get along with if you have to see me on a regular basis. and lots of times when im sure my feelings are justified, i look back on the situation, the people involved, the person _i_ was, and... well, theyre just not. but i still might be the coolest motherfucker youll ever meet. (oh, and ive gotten cockier, too ;P ).
but, of course, now im just rambling because its early and i have to work in like 15 minutes, and i still have to take "my" poor doggy out for a walk so he doesnt think im ignoring him (i am, but only because he hasnt stoppped whining in his crate since he heard me come in). his name is mac. hes beautiful. whod have thought i was ready to love another dog... oooooooh well. its too late. ( heres my baby boy:Collapse ) |

yesterday, the lovely doctor gave me a knee imobilizer. its big and fairly uncomfortable. BUT, it helps a loooot. and thats awesome. so i still have to make an appointment with the orthopedist to find out why fluid continues building up in my knee. but. um. nothing else anywhere near as... exciting? im going back to work today, with little knee pain and no right leg mobility. itll be interesting. the owner/manager just called me to see how i was, which i thought was pretty cool. he offered to give me the next few days off, but.. i kinda need the money, as little as it may be. so ill be there. he told me not to bother with the floor work, just to keep an eye on the dogs. which is aweeeesome. but we all know ill end up doing some of it, anyway, for the simple fact that i get bored. and also the fact that this thing goes from about 4 inches above my heel to an inch or two below my butt. which means if i dont sit down carefully, i pinch my leg :P sooo. yes. life. work. trying to find a new job. blahblah. |

The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Do me next."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions to be a little more intimate.
3. You will update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1) Why Reno?
reno because its a big little city, meaning its pretty affordable, i dont need a car to get around, and there are jobs available
2) If you could go back and "redo" one time in your life, what would you change?
i would change the way i handled things when i was living with nicole.
3) How many times have you done something that you thought would totally mess up your life, but turned out to be pretty good?
just once, when i quit working at walmart
4) What is your favorite sound?
the sound of a ceiling fan. not when theyre on too fast and shake, though
5) What is your favorite movie?
im not really sure. maybe the night before christmas |

the rocks were always too smooth and the grass always too slippery, the earth unstable beneath my feet. so i walk along the black asphalt, stretching miles ahead (nobody knows where it ends) and i stare at the spotted ground--rust stains where the water ran uphill. and every so often, i look off to the side, seeing grey concrete dotting the grass, taking over. and slowly, my life is becoming more like this landscape. less natural and more artificial. false. lies hide where truth once sat and tears flow over the solid ground, where once the earth would hold them and comfort me. but it all just looks so fake with the clouds in the foreground moving so slowly to the left and the clouds in the background speeding by the opposite way, uncaring of the watching children trying to make something of their shapes. and i wonder if thats even possible, if its even real. or maybe this is all just a dream. but i sat on the hill watching the planes taking off and i wished i could fly and i wished i could be that free. but alas! my feet never left the ground and i was stranded in an open prison, sure more than ever that i was awake. and i amble slowly along because im in no rush. ive nowhere to go and nobody to miss me if i never arrive. and i sit on the railroad tracks, my mind slowly drifting away. and i wish that the train would come. come while i was sleeping, to take me far, far away. |

okies. heres a big shiny edit, 8ish months after i first posted this. this is now going to be the 'required' "FRIENDS ONLY! comment to be added because i have no problem with new people, so long as theyre polite and respectful" post. actually, though, before you even consider adding me (if you do consider it), i recommend reading the original post. if you dont understand it, chances are that we are very different people and will never become anywhere near as comfortable or close with each other as i generally like my LJ friends to be. so please read on ( as follows in the next paragraphsCollapse ) |
