Alright, so, great. I did exactly what I thought I would do and stopped logging in to livejoural. However, sircrowbar has reminded me of it and, since I actually have some things to talk about, I will proceed to talk about them.

I decided that the worst economic recession I've ever seen would be a good time to QUIT MY JOB. Basically they screwed me in every hole possible (had me locked up like a Chinese finger trap) and, economy be damned, I wasn't putting up with it any more. I told them where they could shove it and moved back to Knoxville with no job, only a little money and a knot in my stomach. Well, that bubble of luck that I seem to float through life on apparently helped me get another job two weeks to the day after I quit...making a lot more money. I almost feel *bad* because I know how many people have been struggling just to stay employed, and I just up and say "I DON'T NEED THIS JOB, LOL" and everything pans out fine.

So now I'm back in Knoxville with a much better, less stressful job and I'm signing the papers to buy a house tomorrow. I could segue into a whole "follow your heart and everything will be fine" sermon, but honestly that was a DUMB fuckin' move even though it was probably the best decision I ever made. I can't really advocate doing something like that but...well...let's ask Hunter S. Thompson:

“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.”

NOTE: HST shot himself in the head.

So thornghost persuaded me to get a livejournal account because I apparently need something else to waste time on. I sincerely doubt anybody wants to read about shit that I do or think, but I'll probably update this until I get tired of it and stop logging in (I'm looking at you, Facebook, MySpace, OkCupid, Louisville Mojo, Destructoid, Joystiq, TheForum, Twitter and all the others that I've forgotten).

Oddly enough, I'm sitting here typing away at this instead of my NaNoWriMo book, which I'm woefully behind on. I'll have to crank out several thousand words just to catch up at this point, but I'm determined not to quit. Even if I make to the end of the month without having reached the word count goal, I will still be slogging away at it. This marks about the fourth year I've tried to participate, and every year I give up before the end of the month.

I'm not talking about politics on purpose. I've talked about it quite enough in real life for the moment and will probably get to it at some point in the near future, but not right now.

I'm intimidated by how many moods there are to choose from.

..."Intimidated" is a mood choice.
