ResistedNormalcy

2006 is upon us.

Bleh.

I’m coming up on 25.

Bleh.

25 is full-on mid-20s.  Yikes.  These are my good years, right?  Heh.

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, but that’s probably because things are going swimmingly.  I’m excited about where I’m headed in life, and I feel like I’m on the right track overall, even if I was way late in catching the train.  2006 should be a good year.

Health: I’ve been working out for about 7 or 8 weeks now, 5 days a week, eating uber-healthy meals at home.  I’m spending like $300-500 every two weeks on groceries, but hey..   at least I’m at a point in my life where I can spend $300-500 every two weeks on groceries.  Yay.  Having everything from steak, to stuffed pork chops, to lamb chops, to killer burgers.  Yum.

Okay, so I’m definitely not a Vegan — but I’ve been eating my fruits and veggies, too.  Central Market kicks ass.

If vegetarians eat vegetables, I guess that makes me a humanitarian.  Er.. ?

Work: I’m still working for the same place.  To those who know me well — this is a rare occurence, indeed.  I’ve been working here for the better part of ..  eh, 6 months.

Wow.

Even more amazing, I love my job.  Everything is still on track for Ireland, I’m supposed to be going sometime in March — I’m completely stoked.  I’m hoping for a raise right around that time, too.   Sahweet.

I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.

Personal Life: I’m in love with a superfly chickadee, and she loves me back.  Yay.  We connect on all sorts of levels, and she’s everything I could ever hope for.  Her ambitions rival my own, she’s gorgeous, with a sharp intellect, (can it be?) and just as dorky as I am.  w00t! 

Better to have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.

School: Still chugging along.  Honestly, I’ve never viewed my education as the gateway to success — so I’m definitely not in a hurry, but I’ve been taking 12 hours a semester and I’m about halfway done.  The degree is more for personal achievement than anything else.  I’m doing what I love, and loving what I do.  It doesn’t get much better than that.  I’ll probably be in school for the next decade — nothing like the feeling of improving yourself, and there’s always more to learn.

Fun Fact: If infinite rednecks fired infinite shotguns at an infinite number of road signs, they’d eventually create all the great literary works of the world in braille.

Not-so-fabulousness: $3000 in warrants (traffic-related) to pay still.  Bleh.  Maybe after the raise, eh?

I’m not ambivalent about my life, and that excites me.  I can’t wait to see what 2006 brings, aside from the measly insurance discount.  Heh.
