First post!

This needed to happen. There's a fine line between things I'd like to post so my friends can see what's happening in my life and the self-censorship caused by the knowledge that the girl who broke my heart is still reading the old blog. This won't be all passworded up and things, but there's some safety in the lack of searchability of common screen names. And should she find this through her normal borderline-stalkerish ways at least I won't have to know she's reading.

The events of the prekend* tell me that yes, I'm really moving on in my life. This is more positive than an Anna Nicole Smith post-mortem toxicology screen. A year ago I'd been with a girl for 5 years, was figuring out grad school plans, and everything seemed peachy. Fast forward a year and that girl is long gone, grad schools have all said No, and the direction of my life has been thrown off by factors beyond my control. There's a lot to figure out going forward, but at the moment I'm just starting a new relationship with a kick-ass girl, I have a job I enjoy, a roof over my head, and many things I'm looking forward to. As Dwight would say, "I am ready to face any challenges that might be foolish enough to face me."

Welcome to my world.

*Innaugaral post word-coining! Prekend= pre-weekend= Thursday nights, if this was not as obvious as I thought :-P

Gotta love security through obscurity ;)

I have to say, a teeny tiny part of me is a little guiltily glad that you have to postpone grad school. I'd be sad to lose you to far away again when I feel like we just managed to get back what we shoulda always been. (Mogwai = Wendy, in case you were curious...)

Mogwai? I never would have known that was you :-P

There's a part of me that's glad to be sticking around awhile. Colorado has a lot of things going for it and I do enjoy life when I live here. The only problem is figuring out what I want to do when I get big...
